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

Ling Xiao looked at Lu Xingchen in shock.

Lu Xingchen kicked him in the face.

Ling Xiao stepped back and fell heavily to the ground.

"I am also a normal woman. I also need a man. If you want to be my man, then you can move into the palace."

"Have you ever seen a concubine who can leave the palace? You become my concubine. You can never leave the palace again."

"You will be locked up by these high palace walls."

"Of course, you will be the most favored one in the six palaces."

"But you want to lead troops to fight, that's impossible. You can only be a toy under my crotch."

"Come on if you want."

Lu Xingchen slightly turned her body and posed in a charming manner.

Ling Xiao looked at Lu Xingchen seriously. He didn't expect this result.

If he gets her body, he will become her male lover.

He will spend his whole life in the palace and become her plaything.

"You can choose concubines, and you can set up three palaces and six courtyards." Ling Xiao looked at her with disbelief.

"Of course...it seems you don't know me yet. Do you think I'm an ordinary woman? Of course I'm not."

"I am the emperor now. Of course the emperor must choose a concubine."

"You are, of course, only one of my concubines."

"When you get old and lose your looks, you will naturally fall out of favor, and there will be younger and more beautiful men who will become my playthings!"

"You can't stay eighteen forever, but there are always eighteen-year-old, strong and healthy men in this world waiting for my call."

Ling Xiao seemed to have seen something terrifying and took two steps back.

Feixue walked in quickly, drew the sword in her hand, and placed the tip of the sword on Lingxiao's neck.

"Your Majesty, kill him."

Lu Xingchen shook his head. "I have been training him for more than two years, hoping to make him my right-hand man."

"In the future, he will lead troops for me, conquer the world, and become my great general."

"It's a pity that his performance today disappointed me. I was extremely disappointed."

"Girl, I was wrong. I will never have such thoughts again. Please forgive me this time."

Lu Xingchen waved at him and said, "Go back to the barracks."

Ling Xiao got up from the ground, his face full of loss, grievance and hurt.

He slowly took two steps back, turned around and ran out of the bedroom.

"Girl, this boy won't do anything outrageous, right?" Feixue put away the sword in her hand and came to Lu Xingchen.

"That shouldn't be the case?" Lu Xingchen said.

"You knew he was interested in me."

Feixue nodded. "I didn't know at first, but then I slowly realized that his eyes were always on the girl. Then I knew."

"Don't you like him? Why do you want to kill him today?"

"I like him, but he actually dared to encroach on the girl. This is absolutely unacceptable. In my heart, no one is more important than the girl." Feixue said in a firm tone.

"You are still a love-brained person." Lu Xingchen said.

"I am not." Feixue replied.

On October 5, the coronation ceremony was held as scheduled.

A group of officials from the Ministry of Rites left, and a group stayed.

These officials had been working in the Ministry of Rites since the Song Dynasty and had prepared for the enthronement ceremonies of three emperors.

So although Lu Xingchen's coronation ceremony was hasty, they were well prepared.

The coronation ceremony was calm, solemn, and glorious.

Another country was established in the Central Plains, named Daxing.

Lu Xingchen put on the purple imperial dynasty robe.

She is a woman, and the purple-red color makes her look more solemn and majestic.

She sat on the emperor's dragon throne, looking down at the officials standing below.

All the officials looked at Lu Xingchen and saw that she was beautiful and majestic, noble and great.

Ling Xiao, who was supposed to stand behind Lu Xingchen, could only stand at the door of the hall and look at her from afar.

He felt that he was bewitched. How could such an emperor possibly get her?

Feixue became the first female official and read out the imperial edict.

The coronation ceremony ended in solemnity.

New emperor, new rules

Even the palace rules are different from before.

There were no more eunuchs in the palace, only female officials and maids.

The only man in the palace was Lu Kui.

Even if Lu Yunfeng wanted to see Lu Xingchen, he could only do so in the outer hall.

Men are not allowed to enter the inner hall casually, even their uncles.

Ling Xiao was driven to the military camp by Lu Xingchen, and Lu Yun took over Ling Xiao's position and became the commander of Lu Xingchen's personal guards.

After Master Guo and Lu Yunfeng arrived in the capital, they reformed the six ministries.

Zhou Yuru and Lu Xingzhu also came to the capital.

Zhou Yuru joined the Ministry of Revenue and became the Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue.

Lu Xingzhu has been studying law in the past two years, so Lu Xingchen directly arranged her to work in the Ministry of Justice.

The emperor is a woman. Lu Xingzhu and Zhou Yuru are officials with real power in the six ministries. Although some people criticize them, no one dares to say too much.

When Lu Xingchen first moved to the capital, some pedantic scholars criticized him.

Lu Xingchen didn't give them any face and killed them directly.

Some principles are difficult to explain, and using knives and guns is the most direct and simplest way to solve them.

After a group of people were killed, the others didn't dare to say anything more.

If the flame can be put out, it will not burn fiercely.

As long as she holds the sword and the gun in her hands, all reactionaries are paper tigers.

Lu Xingchen didn't care that those aristocratic families were unwilling to get close to the new court.

She has just ascended the throne, and all policies need to be implemented slowly.

Let the bullet fly for a while.

After two years, she had firmly grasped power in her own hands and was about to launch a new round of land reform.

All the lands occupied by local tyrants were taken back by the imperial court and then redistributed.

Only when those who till the land own the land and the people can survive on the land can the country be stable.

The household contract responsibility system is a very good system.

The land annexation in the entire ancient society was not due to the improvement of productivity and the need for large tracts of land to be operated, but rather it was an irrational and unreasonable annexation due to the seizure of land by the powerful.

Therefore, Lu Xingchen must resolutely put an end to the gentry and powerful people occupying large amounts of land. She wants to take the land away from them and distribute it to ordinary people.

If this system cannot be implemented well, the regime will not be stable in the end.

Of course, this needs to be done step by step.

Because she was a woman, those aristocratic families were unwilling to serve her or take part in the imperial examinations.

She didn't care.

With the current team of her administration, there are enough people to allocate and use.

In late October, Lu Xingchen received a military report.

The military report was sent by Murong Feihe.

Lu Xingchen had previously received news that Murong Nan had captured Cangzhou.

But when she received the military report sent by Murong Feihe, her heart skipped a beat.

She opened the military newspaper and read the contents quickly, and it was indeed bad news.

Murong Nan was seriously injured during the attack on Yanjing. He is already dead.

Murong Feihe was besieged by the Wei army and hoped that Lu Xingchen would send troops to rescue him.

Although she sat on the throne, she did not want to be like Xiao Yan, who trapped herself in the palace after ascending the throne, waiting for the generals and ministers below to send her news.

She still has to go out, lead thousands of troops, and travel across thousands of rivers and mountains.

She started from Xing County and is now an empress.
