Wealth and glory seek stability

The court meeting established the new policy, and the governor immediately issued new laws.

There were many onlookers.

After all, uprisings and rebellions were not unheard of. To them, it was just a change of emperor in the palace.

The ninth day of the first lunar month.

The new policy was posted everywhere.

All the people who could read were surprised.

"No emperor?"

"You must be dreaming. These cavalrymen are rebelling because they want to be the emperor. Who is so stupid as to not be the emperor?"

"It's true. Look, it says that Xia Kingdom has no emperor, officials are paid from the people, there are no more powerful noble families, no hierarchy, the slave law is abolished, and new policies are adopted."

"It's actually true?"

After the government notice was posted, there was a huge response. The first and most excited people were the common people. Huang Yuan's name became completely famous.

As the only person in thousands of years who did not declare himself emperor after a successful uprising, his behavior was even worse than that of Xuanyuan Zhaoyi.

Jian Xi's identity is no longer a secret.

Going in and out of the palace every day and answering people's questions has become her main job every day.

The main hall was specially opened up as a place for everyone to discuss matters.

Each person has a desk and a stool, and on the table are pens, ink, paper and inkstone.

Gao Yunhuai's seat was in the first row on the far left, and Jian Xi's seat was in the first row on the far right.

A circle had already formed in front of Jian Xi.

When Jian Xi first arrived, she was subjected to many provocations. Everyone thought that as a woman, she was not qualified to discuss government affairs with them.

Chen Erhei was the first to jump out. "You are a pregnant woman, but you don't want to just stay still and take care of your baby. It's a pity that your husband is also a weak-willed man. If it were me, I would have slapped you in the face a few times to make you behave yourself."

His words implied that Gao Yunhuai had no ability to discipline the woman.

Hearing this, all the soldiers burst into laughter. Huang Yuan in the hall did not choose to attend, but left everything to Jian Xi.

Huang Yuan has already made a start. If Jian Xi can't even deal with these people, how can she be capable of making Xia Kingdom more prosperous than the Xuanyuan Dynasty.

He has already promised Jian Xi that as long as Jian Xi can make Xia Kingdom a new start after implementing the new policy, he will form an alliance with Zhang Cen'er. When Zhang Cen'er strives for the throne, Xia Kingdom will definitely help him.

Jian Xi had a blank expression on her face. No one was stopping her from implementing the new policy. Verbal attacks were not painful to her and could not cause much harm. "Don't worry. I don't like men like you at all."

"You!" Chen Erhei rushed forward in anger. Gao Yunhuai was watching him hungrily from behind, with a storm in his eyes. As long as Chen Erhei dared to take a step forward, he would take action. The atmosphere was tense.

The soldiers were all experienced men, and they quickly stopped Chen Erhei.

They have not forgotten that Gao Yunhuai is a madman when he fights, and he is good at guessing people's hearts. If he loses, it's okay, but if he wins, he might have some tricks to take revenge later. When it comes to playing tricks, ten Chen Erhei Ye are no match for Gao Yunhuai.

An old man with a beard stood up and pointed at Jian Xi's trembling hand, "You are a girl, you should stay in the boudoir and learn female virtues, but now you bring up something that goes against the Three Bonds and Five Constant Virtues. You will be punished for crowing at dawn."

Jian Xi sat in her seat as still as a mountain, her cold and delicate face without a trace of coquettishness because of the wisdom in her eyes.

"From the way you dress, you look like a scholar. From the way you talk, I know that you are afraid that women are stronger than men in the world and you will lose face. If you are truly a scholar, why do you have to distinguish between men and women? Aren't you born of a woman?"

Jian Xi was dressed in gorgeous clothes, with her hair tied up with only a blue headband, and she was spouting a barrage of words.

Huang Yuan and his wife Guo Youling hid in a compartment at the back of the main hall and eavesdropped.

Huang Yuan's rough face was full of an expression of watching a good show. "This Lord Lin is the censor of the previous dynasty. I kept him because he was upright and incorruptible. Who knew that he was like a stone in the toilet, smelly and hard. Normally, if he found something wrong with what I said, he would curse at me. Now I have met my match."

Guo Youling couldn't help but laugh. She sat on the heated kang in the room and poured a glass of water. "Look at you. You don't act like a person in a high position. You're eavesdropping. Aren't you afraid that others will find out and laugh at you?"

Huang Yuan chuckled and sat down opposite Guo Youling. "Sister, you don't know that being above ten thousand people is indeed a good position, but we are different. Our ancestors have been farmers for generations, and our son is a green hand. The people in the court are all smart. Look at what happened to Xuanyuan Zhan. If we are attacked from both sides, our Huang family will only have one heir for nine generations, and we can't let our family die out."

Guo Youling sat upright, with a smile on her face and tenderness in her eyes. "Is this the reason why you don't want to ascend the throne?"

Huang Yuan turned to look at Guo Youling. The strong man wanted to tease his wife at this time. "Sister, do you want to be the queen?"

Guo Youling rolled her eyes at Huang Yuan and said, "I don't want to be the queen. If you become the emperor, you will have three palaces and six courtyards, countless women and sons. By then, I'm afraid you will forget about me and Gui'er."

"Don't worry, I'm not that kind of person."

"You are not, but your subordinates wish you were that kind of person. There are some things that your subordinates will naturally do for you without you having to tell them." Guo Youling felt somewhat fortunate in her heart. She had been engaged to Huang Yuan since childhood and they had always been together. She looked just average, but Huang Yuan's attitude made her feel much more at ease.

While the couple was chatting and laughing, the winner had already been decided in the hall.

Gao Yunhuai had never seen Jian Xi like this. Whenever someone raised doubts, Jian Xi would analyze the other person from beginning to end and then completely belittle them.

There were also many older ministers from the previous dynasty who had been sitting on the bench in the Xuanyuan Dynasty. All of them were retained by Huang Yuan.

Two eunuchs came in and carried away a man who had collapsed while holding his chest because he could not bear the stimulation of Jian Xi's words.
