It's better to be an empress than a county magistrate

Eunuch Su sent Lu Xingchen out of the palace to live out his retirement.

Eunuch Su never thought that one day he would be unemployed.

Master Guo and Master Yuan discussed and decided on a date for the enthronement.

That is to wait until the New Year.

New year, new start.

Lu Xingchen shook his head.

"I don't like to ascend the throne in the New Year, let's do it in October. I like October."

"Choose a good day in early October to establish a new country, which will flourish and prosper."

Neither Master Guo nor Master Yuan understood why early October was chosen.

Of course, only Lu Xingchen herself knew, after all, she had red blood in her previous life.

Everyone with red blood has a special feeling for October.

Lu Xingchen is the queen now, and it is natural for her to decide whether to ascend the throne whenever she wants.

She determined that every day was the best day as it was destined by heaven.

So the date for the new emperor to ascend the throne was set at October 5th.

The new country was named Daxing.

Preparations for Lu Xingchen's ascension to the throne are ongoing.

The new emperor ascended the throne and granted amnesty to the world.

Moreover, in the winter, Lu Xingchen also has to prepare for a new imperial examination to select the best scholars in the world to serve as officials in the court, be loyal to the court, and benefit the people.

In the new imperial examination, women must account for at least 30% of the candidates.

Lu Xingchen issued decrees one after another.

In order to promote education throughout the country, every county town must establish two schools at public expense, one for boys and one for girls.

Of course, Lu Xingchen wanted to establish a school where boys and girls could study together, but in that era, boys and girls were not allowed to study together in the same school.

She vigorously promoted printing and printed books extensively so that even the most ordinary people could afford to read.

In addition, by vigorously developing papermaking technology, the price of books can be reduced only when paper becomes the cheapest.

Of course, there is also the development of charcoal pencils. Writing with charcoal pencils can reduce the use of brushes and ink, greatly lowering the threshold for reading.

For ordinary people, ink for reading and writing is too expensive, but using charcoal pencils can be much cheaper.

We also vigorously developed water conservancy, built water conservancy projects, dug canals, and reclaimed fertile farmland.

High-quality wheat and rice cultivation is promoted throughout the country, and the best wheat can yield 700 to 800 kilograms per acre.

In addition, the country has vigorously developed the commercial industry and has made the economic development of a county one of the important evaluation criteria for the annual assessment of officials.

If commerce and trade develop well, fiscal revenue will be high, taxes will be paid more, and officials will have greater opportunities for promotion.

Another thing is that childbirth is strongly encouraged. For every child born, one can go to the government office to receive a subsidy, and the subsidy can be received every month until the child is twelve years old.

Lu Xingchen has not yet sat on the throne, but imperial decrees have been issued one after another.

At the same time, preparations for her enthronement were being made in full swing.

As time entered October and the day of her enthronement drew closer, the capital was immersed in joy.

In a few days she will ascend the throne. Before that, Lu Xingchen wants to have a good time with Wei Hu, Lu Feng and others.

When she ascended the throne, her identity changed after all.

Lu Xingchen did not hold the banquet in the palace, but in the former residence of King Chen.

King Chen's house was given to Lu Yunfeng.

When she ascends the throne, she should reward these meritorious officials.

Otherwise, why would Lu Yunfeng, Wei Hu and others follow her to conquer the world?

The reason why the banquet was held in Lu Yunfeng's yard was just to allow Wei Hu and others to completely relax.

If they were in the palace, they would certainly be restrained.

Of course, there were not only Lu Xingchen, Lu Feng and others at this banquet.

There are also many middle-level generals.

In addition, there was wine and meat in the military camp today.

"Brothers and sisters, please relax completely tonight and don't be too reserved."

The reason why Lu Xingchen brought her sisters along was because Lu Xingzhu and Zhou Yuru had also arrived in the capital.

"It has been more than two years since we started the uprising in Xing County. It has been a bumpy road. It has not been easy for anyone along the way."

“Many of us have lost our brothers and relatives to achieve what we have today.”

"Tonight there is no emperor, no ministers, only brothers and family affection."

Lu Xingchen raised his glass and drank it all.

Suddenly, the soldiers below also raised their glasses and cheered.

The whole house was illuminated by the fire and lights as bright as day, and the stars in the sky seemed a little dim.

The banquet was lively and complicated.

At first they were happy, then they reminisced about the past, and then they got drunk and talked about Zhang Fan and cried bitterly.

Then he started talking about some happy things from his childhood.

Everyone drank a lot.

Lu Xingchen was happy and drank a lot of wine, but looking at the time, it was time for her to go back.

She stood up, swaying slightly.

Ling Xiao reached out and helped her up.

"I'm going back to the palace."

"Girl, I'll take you home." Ling Xiao blushed and spoke a little lisp. He helped Lu Xingchen up and sent her to the carriage.

Then he drove the carriage himself and took Lu Xingchen back to the palace.

Feixue was very happy today and had drunk a lot of wine. She was already at the point where she needed someone to take care of her.

Perhaps it was because of the wind outside and the alcohol that started to take effect, Lu Xingchen felt dizzy and his body could not support itself for a while.

Ling Xiao simply picked her up.

This was the first time Ling Xiao hugged her after declaring himself a woman.

Ling Xiao didn't expect Lu Xingchen to be so light.

Before, he always looked up to her with full respect, thinking that she was very tall and great.

Although he wanted Lu Xingchen to think that he was a mature man and treat him as a normal man.

However, he never had any blasphemous thoughts towards Lu Xingchen in his heart.

But at this moment, when he held Lu Xingchen in his arms, he realized that she was just a weak woman.

Her body was soft and delicate, nestling in his arms, as if a ball of warm water had melted into his body.

She had a faint fragrance and a clear smell of alcohol on her body.

Ling Xiao suddenly felt his blood boiling and his mouth became dry.

Lu Xingchen's cheeks were flushed due to the alcohol.

She closed her eyes and her eyelashes fluttered slightly.

Her arms hung down and continued to hit his strong waist and abdomen as he walked.

Ling Xiao felt as if he was about to explode.

The originally short palace road seemed to him extremely long and took him a long time to walk.

I even want to go on like this forever.

But he still entered Lu Xingchen's bedroom and put her on the soft bed.

Lu Xingchen was a little drunk. She rubbed her feet gently and took off her shoes and socks.

A pair of snow-white and tender jade feet appeared in front of Lingxiao.

Her ankles are as soft as white jade

At this moment, Ling Xiao seemed to be possessed by something. He was extremely brave. He reached out and gently grasped Lu Xingchen's ankle.

Lu Xingchen felt someone touching her body and slowly opened her eyes.

Ling Xiao held her jade feet.

"Girl, I like you." Ling Xiao saw Lu Xingchen open her huge eyes and look at him. He spoke.

"I want to be your man, not your brother."

"I want to marry you."

A cold smile appeared on Lu Xingchen's lips.

"Have you ever seen an emperor marry?"
