The imperial concubine finally showed up, but what the officials didn't expect was that she used the reason that the fifteenth elder brother was young to persuade all the ministers to regard Yinzhen as emperor. A minister raised the matter of Yinzhen's infertility, and the imperial concubine said indifferently: "Throughout the ages, not every successor is the son of the previous emperor. When Prince Yong ascends the throne, he will choose the most suitable heir. "
The ministers were a little dumbfounded, even Tong Guowei couldn't believe that the imperial concubine would give up the throne that was at her fingertips, and instead of letting her parents and children take the throne, she would let her adopted son take the throne. He took the opportunity to ask the imperial concubine privately, "Did your empress be threatened by Prince Yong? I heard that Xuanying has been living in Chengqian Palace. Could it be that she..."
The imperial concubine frowned, "What did Ama say? Xuanying came to accompany me because she was afraid that I would be sad. Otherwise, how could Ama have a chance to see me? Think about it, Ama, Xiao Shiwu has always hated reading and writing, He only loves to wield knives and guns, and listens to stories only about those who fight on the battlefield. How can he be an emperor? Besides, if he grows up to have that ability, Yinzhen will definitely make him the emperor's younger brother. Without that ability, even if we put him in the position now, he won't be able to do it for long."
Tong Guowei persuaded and persuaded without giving up, but he couldn't persuade the imperial concubine no matter what, so he could only leave with a frown. But with the words of the imperial concubine, those who supported Yinzhen in the court no longer cared about it, and asked Yinzhen to ascend the throne one after another. After Dunbeile led his army back to the court and buried Kangxi in the imperial mausoleum, Yinzhen finally officially ascended the throne with the support of his courtiers and several princes, and changed his country name to "Yongzheng".
The imperial concubine was named the empress dowager, Su Yuanyuan was the empress, and the adult princes were all princes. Because the factors of instability had long since been eliminated, there was no turmoil before and after enthronement, and the succession of imperial power was successfully completed.
The Kangxi in the imperial mausoleum was transformed by Su Yuanyuan with a piece of wood. The real Kangxi lost his temper several times in the secret room and was furious. Anger doesn't help either.
Three months after Yinzhen ascended the throne, Lao Jiu prepared the fleet, and Lao Ba also distributed the power in his hands to other people. Then Kangxi, the imperial concubine, Lao Ba, his wife and twins boarded the ship together and headed to the other side of the ocean. They were accompanied by Kangxi's dark guards, as well as several members of Xuedizi and Sticky Rod. These few people not only protect their masters, but also shoulder the heavy responsibility of detecting foreign technology. Yinzhen was not afraid that Kangxi would run back, because it would be too late for him to find a ship and plan to seize the throne when he arrived in a foreign country, so he even took Kangxi's hidden guards away directly. Safety.
The ostensible statement is that Lao Ba was ordered to go to Weifu for private visits. In the next few years, he will travel all over the country, hiding his identity, and finding out those who are corrupt and perverting the law. The imperial concubine lived in the hot spring villa with a pair of children, and thanked guests behind closed doors, and did not allow anyone to disturb her. In this way, Yinzhen sent them away from the country without telling the truth, and he also hoped that Kangxi and Lao Ba would learn something and come back. The two people's ability to learn is still very strong.
With the power in his hands, Yinzhen was not in a hurry to make big moves, but slowly distributed the power of some high-ranking Manchu officials to others. The officials who were promoted were all open-minded people who hoped that the Manchus and Hans would blend in. Those officials who thought they were superior and full of superiority were transferred from the center of power for various reasons. Several important ministers found out about this matter belatedly, and at the same time became anxious for themselves in puzzlement, and invariably went to Zhezi to ask Yinzhen's intentions.
Su Yuanyuan flipped through the memorials that Yinzhen threw aside in the imperial study, touched her chin, and showed a mischievous smile, "Why don't I scare them and show them all their nasty things in private? Do you dare to say this or that?"
Yinzhen was stunned for a moment, there was nothing wrong with thinking about it, nodded and said: "Be careful, come back early, I'll wait for you to have dinner together."
"Do not worry!"
Su Yuanyuan got the criminal evidence of several ministers from the sticky pole, and each of them had a booklet, which even recorded that they spoiled their concubines, killed their wives, and treated their children harshly. Su Yuanyuan smiled with satisfaction after reading it, and ran to the homes of several adults incognito, put the booklet on their desks, and saw with her own eyes that those people were scared to death, and even two were too sick to go to school. Towards!
Since then, Su Yuanyuan has discovered many wonderful uses of spells, and has truly become Yinzhen's greatest helper!
In a few years, Yinzhen ruled out dissidents in the court and realized complete imperial autocracy. Su Yuanyuan occasionally went to the people to find a few officials who were corrupt and perverted the law, and it was right to assume that it was the work of the old man who "visited in a micro-service privately". For a while, the atmosphere in the court was austere.
He reformed the law step by step, and no one would have to suffer any punishment if they sued the elders and officials. As long as there were reasons and evidence, they could get the most fair verdict. Once an unjust or wrongly decided case is discovered, no mercy will be given! After several unjust cases were severely dealt with, no official dared to commit another crime in this regard. Through the newspapers, the common people wept with joy when they learned that they no longer had to be afraid of those government servants and corrupt officials.
In the past few years, Song, the first peasant girl, has worked with others to study the method of raising pigs and chickens. Now every household in the countryside has food, poultry and livestock. Stores and Yurongyuan and other chain stores donated porridge and clothes, and the emperor would also send imperial envoys to the disaster relief. No one was worried about starving to death or freezing to death.
If the people live and work in peace and contentment, the economy will naturally prosper. Yinzhen abolished the classification of scholars, farmers, businessmen, and established academies to teach agriculture and planting, encourage the teaching of various skills, and support the development of commerce. This move won the gratitude of all the businessmen, and their descendants will be able to take the imperial examinations and embark on official careers in the future. Since then, every time there is a disaster, they will donate money and food to help the court relieve the disaster.
Concrete roads have been built in many parts of the country, bicycles and rickshaws have been produced, and many talents are working day and night in research institutes established by the country to research new technologies that can enable the country to develop. The mechanical genius Dai Zi who was invited back by Yinzhen is even more outstanding. He used to see foreign guns and cannons in a few days to imitate them. Now he has been fully inspired and supported. The army's weapons and equipment are getting better every year. Young and strong.
Those rebels against the Qing Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty were suppressed, and now the people are happy, and not many people were willing to rebel with them. On the contrary, the people still love the current emperor very much, because Yinzhen proposed that the Manchu and Han families, all the ethnic groups in this land are one family, and they really feel that there is no longer any hierarchy among the various ethnic groups, Even the Eight Banners were cancelled.
Several big families of the Manchu surnames once resisted, but at that time Yinzhen's general situation had become established, with weapons in hand, how could they resist? Yinzhen did a lot, and finally solved the real national issue ten years later, while canceling those cumbersome etiquettes, and changing the country's title to the concise and domineering "Empire".
When Yinzhen was working hard to reform for ten years, Su Yuanyuan was not idle. She often helped Yinzhen to do things that ordinary people could not do, and always achieved the best results without anyone noticing. Then she devoted herself to brainwashing the common people, admiring Mrs. Li and Mrs. Song as female representatives, praising those ladies from aristocratic families who run their own businesses, and letting everyone know that women are useful.
After the research institute developed the technology of mass papermaking, Su Yuanyuan ran a newspaper dedicated to women, telling them stories of many powerful women such as Hua Mulan and Wu Zetian. With Yinzhen's protection, even if someone is dissatisfied, there is nothing they can do about her. She also abolished "Women's Precepts" and "Women's Training", and established many women's colleges to teach women various practical skills such as reading, literacy, self-defense, medical skills, and design.
As for the women who graduated from women's colleges, none of them can be underestimated, even because they want to prove themselves, cherish the opportunities they get, and learn better than many men. After the first batch of women graduated from women's colleges in various places, they completely overturned everyone's perception of women. It turned out that men were suppressing women for so many years. Otherwise, how could they be allowed to beat and scold them
Su Yuanyuan promulgated a law prohibiting the sale and purchase of human beings, abolishing the contract of prostitution, and anyone who dared to buy or sell human beings would be punished severely. Of course, if someone wants to invite servants, they can still sign an employment contract and hire some servants to go home. The first one to take the lead is the imperial palace. In the future, those court ladies and eunuchs are not just servants who sign contracts with them, and anyone who doesn't want to do it can leave.
Because she and Yinzhen have lived in modern society for two lives, they have perfected many laws and regulations very well, so that there will be no major disturbances when they are tentatively implemented, and the few who want to take advantage of the loopholes to fish in troubled waters are strongly suppressed.
After ending the Qing Dynasty and changing it to an empire, Su Yuanyuan and Yinzhen simply moved out of the palace, and the ministers no longer needed to go to court, but sat around the table in the conference room every morning to report on their work. Sitting next to Yinzhen, Su Yuanyuan was the first female official to take power in the empire. Afterwards, a few passed the imperial examination, Su Yuanyuan promoted them, and then there were outstanding women's colleges who appeared one after another. The highest conference room is no longer a man's world.
And there are not a few women who are officials all over the country, and it is more and more like the trend of modern development. Ulanara, who had been on the sidelines before, became one of the officials. The Nian family opened an art academy, teaching girls to paint, sing, dance, and act, and when they finished their studies, they performed dramas to make money. The rest of them are all from the back. Seeing that the Qing Dynasty has become like this, they naturally no longer have any ideas. They don’t have any special skills, but relying on various subjects in modern studies, most of them have found it. Nice career.
Ten years of hard work, in exchange for such a prosperous scene, Yinzhen and Su Yuanyuan were very surprised. They did not expect to be able to go so smoothly. This is also thanks to the help of several brothers. Although there were times when they did not understand, they grew up together After all, those subtle influences changed their minds and made them agree with Yinzhen's political views.
Ten years later, Kangxi and Lao Ba finally came back. Although Kangxi hated Yinzhen for causing the Qing Dynasty to perish, he had to admit that Yinzhen really cared about the world in the past ten years. There is no selfishness. He also couldn't figure out how he taught it, how could this son be so rebellious? Even the world laid down by the ancestors is gone. But things had come to this, he had no choice but to swallow his breath, scolded Yinzhen severely, and never gave him a good face again.
The old eight has completely changed his handsome temperament, and looks more like a resolute soldier. As soon as he came back, he had a long secret talk with Yinzhen, and then resumed his official position, fully supporting Yinzhen's reform. And the advanced technology he brought back has also made the research institute feel like a treasure. Many research bottlenecks have been broken in one fell swoop, and many new things have been researched.
Tsarist Russia, Mongolia, Japan and other places invaded again, and the tenth, thirteenth, fourteenth, and fifteenth boys each led the most valiant troops to defeat them. The guns and cannons that are far ahead are simply an eye-opener for them, and they are beyond shocked. They don't know when this country that is falling behind will rise up. Under Kangxi's insistence, Xiao Shiwu directly leveled Dongyang Island, and there will never be any "sick man of East Asia" or "biochemical experiment" ever again.
Sometimes when Kangxi looked at the majestic palace, he would sigh in his heart, he really wanted to kill that fourth son! But having such a son is really indescribably proud.
