After Dressing Up As a Stepmother, I Transformed the Whole Family Into Working In the Fields Chapter 763

It's getting colder day by day.

The ancestor worship rituals of the Baili family were not affected by the death of King Feng.

The grand ancestor worship ceremony was held as scheduled.

On the day of ancestor worship, the emperor could not muster up the energy to preside over it.

After discussing with the Ministry of Rites, the Holy Queen planned to do something to break through the old system.

The prince will offer sacrifices to heaven, and the queen will offer sacrifices to earth.

The sky is yang and the earth is yin. Women are originally yin. The queen is also the mother of a country and the head of thousands of women. In the past, men worshiped heaven and earth. In fact, it does not conform to the yin and yang of heaven and earth.

The officials of the Ministry of Rites were persuaded, and some state teachers asked for divination and received the approval of Earth Mother.

When the ancestor worship ceremony came to the process of offering sacrifices to the earth, the old system was changed. The Holy Queen led the clan's concubine, and female generals with outstanding achievements in the army were responsible for offering sacrifices to the Mother of the Earth.

This small change seemed to be a helpless move because the emperor was seriously ill and could not attend, but it invisibly broke the rule that women were not allowed to enter the ancestral hall to worship.

At least, if women cannot enter the ancestral hall to worship their ancestors, they can loudly use the Queen's act of worshiping the Earth Mother to give those old stubborns a heavy blow.

Could they still be against the royal family?

Ordinary people would naturally not dare.

˜Women also contribute to maintaining the prosperity of the family, so why can't they enter the ancestral hall?

Ordinary people may not feel much about this small change. After all, it is difficult for people in the countryside to fill their stomachs. Who can control women and men entering the ancestral hall?

But among the old elites in Kyoto, there was a huge uproar against the harem's interference in politics.

Seeing the group of old men kneeling outside the Ming Palace who wanted to write to the emperor to impeach themselves, Xu Wenqing just wanted to take a pair of scissors and cut out all their tongues.

　　Since I talk so much, I might as well become a mute.

In the past, it was these people who took away the throne she was about to get and helped Bai Licang, a little man with no ambitions, to become the king on his own.

　Today it's them again who want to kill her!

Are they so afraid of a woman becoming king?

Of course I am afraid, after all, these people have never been very tolerant of women.

If you judge others by yourself, you will naturally feel that women will not be tolerant to them.

Xu Wenqing guarded the gate of the Ming Palace, and asked the palace servants to give each of them a rag to stop their mouths for the reason of disturbing the Holy Emperor's recovery.

If there is anyone who refuses to obey, it doesn't matter what kind of country you are, whether you are a prince, a lord, a lord, or an uncle, you will be given ten sticks with a forked stick!

How can they be allowed to act arrogantly in the important palace?

For a time, the sounds of wailing and insults could be heard from the Ziwei Palace.

People living on the other side of the river can see people entering the palace vertically and being carried out horizontally every day.

Of course, there were many people who knew the current affairs and evacuated immediately to avoid this physical pain.

But they were smart. Since the emperor couldn't see him, they went to find the prince.

His Royal Highness is reasonable and can definitely make decisions for them.

However, on the first day I came home, I came back disappointed.

His Royal Highness the Prince only saw officials who had reports on government affairs, and other miscellaneous people were nowhere to be seen.

Some people got through and managed to see His Highness the Crown Prince, and they only got one firm answer: "I am not good at government affairs, and it is my good fortune that my mother is willing to give guidance."

"If you continue to talk nonsense about the mother of the country, don't blame me for ignoring the old feelings!"

After saying this, the prince took out the military information from the Western Region and showed it to them.

Let them have the leisure to impeach the queen. It is better to find a few more young generals to go to the Western Regions to quell the chaos.

　　The voices of all the veterans suddenly became mute.

The children at home are all precious, who would be willing to send them to the battlefield?

And the Chinese New Year is only two or three months away. If we go to the Western Regions, we will definitely not be able to reunite on New Year's Eve.

In contrast, the princess's palace has given the prince-in-law the post of "General of the Capture of the West" and immediately set off for the Western Regions. The difference between the two is clear at a glance. Whoever conquers the country will feel sorry for him.

There is another war on the border, but it is a battle that must be won.

The fighting was over before the people in the country even got used to the news of the war.

This time there was an internal split within the Qiang royal family in the Western Regions, and the eldest prince advocated continuing to maintain the affiliation with Sheng Kingdom.

However, the second prince advocated independence. In order to avenge his grandfather, he united several small countries in the central part of the country and attacked the Sheng Kingdom's Protectorate in the Western Region with the intention of advancing eastward.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the eldest prince immediately sent someone secretly to inform the Sheng court about the second prince's rebellion, in order to ask the Sheng Kingdom to send troops to quell the chaos.

Sheng Guo will certainly respond to such a request from a good ally.

Xu Wenqing not only sent the eldest princess's consort to lead the troops, but also wrote a letter to King Chan of the Northern Barbarians who had just left the Sheng Kingdom, asking his relatives to come and help.

The Barbarian King Dalan has just given birth to a prince. Shengguo and the Northern Barbarians are now in their honeymoon period, so naturally there is no response.

In less than half a month, the head of the second Qiang prince fell to the ground.

For the Sheng Kingdom at this time, the surrounding vassal countries could teach anyone they wanted to a lesson.

The eldest prince of the Qiang tribe soon took the heads of the second prince and went to the capital in person to receive the reward.

Sheng Guo made him the king, his eldest son as the crown prince, and his youngest daughter as the princess.

King Qiang was also very wise. He left the crown prince and the young princess in Kyoto on the pretext of studying, and then happily returned with a generous reward.

When King Qiang left, it was winter and the twelfth lunar month was approaching.

The long vacation that the children have been looking forward to all year is finally coming.

After school in the evening, Siniang, wearing a thick cotton-padded jacket and dragging her bookcase, jumped in and ran in the door.

The weather is cold, and a thick curtain has been hung on the door frame of the main hall.

Through the curtain, Si Niang shouted excitedly: "A Niang! On the first day of December the day after tomorrow, there is no need to go to the Women's Garden!"

“Also, there is a new student in the school today. The dean arranged for her to share a classroom with us. He said that she would come here first to get familiar with her, and she would study with us in the Women's Garden after the new year.”

Siniang opened the curtain and walked in chirping.

The warmth in the room hit her face, the mixture of hot and cold, and Siniang's face turned red.

Qin Yao, who was sitting around the quilt in the main room warming herself by the fire and reading a book, put down her book and waved to her. The little girl immediately dropped her book box and rushed towards her with open hands.

"Is it cold?" Qin Yao asked with concern while touching the child's hands and face.

Si Niang shook her head, "It's not cold at all. I ran all the way back and it's still hot."

Qin Yao touched her warm little hand, believed her, and asked curiously:

“Is there a new person coming to the Women's Garden at this time?”

Si Niang nodded, stepped out of A Niang's arms, moved a stool by herself, followed Qin Yao's example, put the quilt on her knees, and put her hands and feet in to feel the warmth of the charcoal fire.

"She has two names. One is a gibberish one that I can't learn. The other is Xia He, which is said to be the name of her prosperous country."

At this point, Siniang lowered her head and snickered, "Auntie, it's interesting when she talks in Mandarin. She says "rat" when writing books. She says "annoying" when eating. At lunchtime, everyone talks about eating and eating, and she keeps saying "annoying, annoying, annoying!"

Siniang knows it's not good to make fun of others, but it's really hard not to laugh.

He buried his head on the quilt and shivered for a while before raising his head with tears in his eyes and a sullen face.

Qin Yao was amused. There were many foreigners in the capital with various accents. Sometimes she wanted to laugh when she heard them.

But she swore that she meant no harm. (End of chapter)
