After arranging Jiang Xingzhi and the other two in several courtyards of Wanyue Pavilion and arranging people to take care of them, Jiang Wan finally breathed a sigh of relief and put a worry to her mind.
However, Ji Xiaowu did not say that he wanted to exchange it back with her, and she did not take the initiative to say that she wanted to exchange it back.
After all, for the two of them, no matter who controls this body, it is actually the same, and it doesn't matter to either of them.
After washing up, I had a good night's sleep.
On the second day, before daybreak, a palace servant came to call Jiang Wan to get up, saying that she would attend the morning court soon.
Only then did Jiang Wan remember that things were different now, she was the queen now.
With the help of the palace maids, she put on her clothes, put her hair into a bun, had a simple breakfast, and then prepared to go to Fengfei Palace to attend court.
The previous queen, Jiang Qingfeng, got up very early and waited at the door of Wanyue Pavilion all morning. Now she was following Jiang Wan closely, looking at her goddess with shining eyes.
By the time Jiang Wan sat on the Phoenix Chair, all the civil and military officials in the hall had already lined up.
Following the shout of "Long live the Empress" from the chief lady-in-waiting in the palace, all the civil and military officials bowed to Jiang Wan, shouting, "Long live the Empress."
Seeing such a grand ceremony for the first time, Jiang Wan couldn't help but murmur in her heart. No wonder countless people have robbed this high position since ancient times. It was really a refreshing feeling to look down at others bowing their heads in greeting.
Jiang Wan raised her hand casually, and the head female official immediately shouted, "Stand up."
Then the female official said, "If you have something to say, please report it. If not, please leave the court."
Soon, female officials came forward one after another and stated their demands.
There were also female officials who either refuted or agreed.
The entire morning court was as lively as a vegetable market. Jiang Wan didn't even know the positions of these female officials and who they were, so naturally she couldn't give any constructive suggestions. She could only laugh it off and try to smooth things over.
After the entire morning court session was over, Jiang Wan brought Jiang Qingfeng to the imperial study and asked her about the various issues raised by the ministers just now, and also asked her about the personalities and positions of the many court officials.
Facing the goddess's questions, Jiang Qingfeng told the goddess everything she knew. She even told the goddess all the secrets she had found out through her spies in the ministers' homes. She didn't care about the lives of those ministers at all.
Jiang Wan was speechless for a moment when she faced this naive former queen. She could only complain to Ji Xiaowu in her mind: "This queen is so easy to deceive. Fortunately, you and I are good people. Otherwise, if we really met someone with bad intentions, this country might really be destroyed."
Ji Mingyue also agreed with her friend's words. Jiang Qingfeng was indeed not very smart. She was able to ascend to the throne probably because her sisters fought each other to death, leaving only her as a princess to take advantage of the opportunity.
However, Jiang Qingfeng had many children, including five princes and seven living princesses.
So Ji Mingyue reminded her friend: [The King of Hell is easy to deal with, but the little ghost is hard to deal with. Jiang Xiaojiu, don’t forget that Jiang Qingfeng has seven other princesses. They will definitely not be willing to let the throne fall into the hands of an outsider like you. I’m afraid you’ll have trouble in the future.]
Even if Ji Mingyue told Jiang Qingfeng that she would return the throne to her in the future, Jiang Qingfeng would believe it, but her other princesses might not.
After all, they attach great importance to this position, and if they put themselves in other people's shoes, they would naturally think that others feel the same way.
Jiang Wan is not really a naive person, so she naturally understands the reason.
However, Jiang Wan is not afraid.
After getting to know all the ministers, Jiang Wan made targeted arrangements for them according to their personalities. For example, for the money-loving Left Prime Minister, she would give her a way to make money and let her open the door to convenience.
If the right prime minister loves rare calligraphy and painting, then give her the rare copy that Ji Mingyue copied and forged, so that she will stand on his side.
There is also a general who likes weapons, and an imperial censor who likes the zither...
In short, the main point is to cater to people’s preferences!
If the other party is unwilling to comply, it must be because the benefits and temptations given are not big enough.
What Jiang Wan and Ji Mingyue have the most in their hands are treasures that can make people's hearts beat faster.
Money can make people happy. In just a few days, Jiang Wan bribed a large number of people in the court.
So much so that when she said she wanted to set up a boys' school, no one in the court stood up to oppose it.
Of course, because this incident was so surprising, only a few people stood up to agree with it.
After all, for men, this is simply horrifying stuff.
How can a man be worthy of studying? That would be a disgrace to the noble Master and a disgrace to the laws of our ancestors. If anyone were to speak of this, they would be spitted at. Even ministers who wanted to save face and had great benefits at stake were unwilling to stand up and second the proposal.
But for Jiang Wan, she didn't need these people to second her proposal. As long as no one objected, that would be great.
Moreover, she knew that the biggest problem in running a boys' school did not come from the ministers, but from the people.
The people, who have been brainwashed for thousands of years, would not be willing to waste their family's money to send their money-losing children to school and learn to read and write. Even if the government says it wants to set up boys' schools, there will definitely be very few people who will respond.
So Jiang Wan still needs to do one more thing, which is to change the method of brainwashing.
She privately called Liang Baoer over and asked Liang Baoer to spread the word in secret: "The boys' school was set up by the Goddess of Heaven, and the main things learned there are some blessing Taoist methods passed down by the Goddess of Heaven. Men who go to the boys' school can bring blessings to the women in their family" and "Men who study in the boys' school can transfer the blessings on their sisters at home."
The people really don't care about losing money on goods, but they will definitely care about their own daughters.
Once the idea of transferring blessings came into being, the more people believed in the Goddess of Heaven, the more they would be tempted by it.
The issue of boys' schools caused a stir in the imperial city. The government had already started building a boys' school. While the men in the imperial city began to look forward to the future inexplicably, the scene in Fenglai Village was quite different.
Fenglai Village.
Mrs. Jiang and her family are all staunch believers of the Goddess of Heaven, so after learning that the Goddess of Heaven had appeared in the world, the family went to the Goddess of Heaven's temple on purpose. They originally wanted to burn incense and pray for blessings, but they didn't expect to be shocked when they looked up.
Because the statue of the Goddess of Heaven was Jiang Mingyue, the Jiang Mingyue who was driven away by them.
Old Mrs. Jiang was dumbfounded and her eyes were swollen, but the statue in front of her remained unchanged.
Jiang Huiyue and her daughter, whose faces had been disfigured, went mad immediately after seeing the statue.
