Forced to Ascend the Throne after Transmigrating

Chapter 361: Extra 17: The Underworld



“This, this, this… How can this be? A girl, simply, simply…”

Emperor Jingwen’s voice was mixed with a hint of shock and shame, but after all, it was his daughter’s private life, so Emperor Jingwen was too embarrassed to finish his words, and just pointed at the screen not far away with a trembling hand.

Thinking that neither he nor the previous two generations had such an extraordinary princess, and recalling the lovely Jianjian at the time, Emperor Jingwen almost couldn’t breathe.

However, the moment the voice fell, Emperor Jingwen saw that other people not only did not agree with his words, but looked at him with a rather strange look.

In the end, it was the second prince who put down the snacks in his hand and said a fair word: “After all, Jianjian is now the eldest princess, Xiaojiu’s only sister.”

The emperor’s biological sister, one of the most noble people in the Great Zhou, in terms of closeness, even Prince Ding had to retreat to a place of one shot. With such an identity, let alone raising a few concubines, as long as she didn’t poke a hole in the sky and as long as Xiaojiu didn’t speak, others would have to hold back even if they were dissatisfied.

Moreover, there are not a few princesses who have been romantic and dissolute in history. With the power held by Xiaojiu and Jianjian’s current status, there is no need to sacrifice herself to win over others. From this point of view, it seems understandable that Jianjian’s daily life is a little bit out of the ordinary.

I just didn’t expect that my father would be such a conservative person. I didn’t see it before.

Noticing that none of them seemed surprised by this sudden speculation, as if all this was taken for granted, even the youngest little emperor nodded repeatedly, thinking that the second uncle’s words made sense, and didn’t think there was anything wrong at all, Emperor Jingwen couldn’t help choking.

Similarly, Emperor Jingwen didn’t expect that his children would play so happily in private.

Come to think of it, the prince has been watched by countless eyes since he was a child, and there are countless people who want to pull him down. Although he himself has no preference in this regard, he has seen a lot and has long been accustomed to it. What’s more, this is just the beginning? For him, he doesn’t even have the qualifications to be looked at sideways.

As for Emperor Taicheng, he only has supreme power in his mind. As for how a person is in private, he doesn’t care at all.

The Fourth Prince is a rare serious person, but seriousness is serious, he is not old-fashioned. In the past, he would occasionally play some fun with his wives and concubines, but he died too early, and he didn’t know how he treated his wives, concubines and children now, alas.

The Fourth Prince couldn’t help but sigh.

The words of the Second Prince… Is there any need to say the words of the Second Prince? ! From his words and deeds, it can be known that this guy is probably as unrefined as he is in private. In addition, he has repeatedly hit a wall with the Crown Prince. With nowhere to vent, he probably doesn’t even know the taboos of meat and vegetables.

Seeing that the others subconsciously looked at him, the Second Prince smiled and asked back: “What’s wrong?”

The other party looked confused, as if the rumours they heard were all false.

Noticing his expression at the moment, everyone thought about it. After all, they didn’t tell everyone what they heard when they were alive. Even the emperor couldn’t accept that Jianjian had several concubines. As for the mess that the second prince did in private, they thought it was better to forget it. From this point of view, Emperor Jingwen was the most normal among all the people. Ṙ

When Emperor Jingwen was young, he had to rely on the late emperor to survive. He was walking on thin ice every day. It was difficult for him to survive. How could he have time to do these things? In addition, the late emperor never took his son seriously, so naturally, other people would not take Emperor Jingwen, the prince, seriously. Over time, without anyone teaching him, Emperor Jingwen avoided some things smoothly.

The previous emperor was stupid and fond of beauty. Emperor Jingwen suffered greatly from it and naturally hated it. Under such a rejection mentality, he did not develop any bad habits. On the contrary, his group of sons, no matter how fiercely they fought in private, were much better than the previous emperor. And the good life was too comfortable, so it was natural to think about finding some excitement. Isn’t it natural?

From the crown prince to the sixth, Emperor Jingwen opened his mouth slightly.

For a moment, he began to wonder if he was old and could not keep up with the ideas of young people.

The second prince felt that his father should be content. After all, Xiaojiu had only indulged Jianjian’s little hobby so far, and Queen Mother Wei herself did not have this idea. Otherwise, with Xiaojiu’s feelings for his mother, his father would have been cheated on for many times.

…Wait, did his father really not turn green?

You must know that some things do not necessarily have to happen between men and women to be called out of line, men and men, women and women, men and women, women and men…Ahem, I’m getting off topic.

The second prince fell into deep thought.

Fortunately, the second prince knew the importance of the matter. No matter how stupid he was, he could not say what was in his heart. Fortunately, Emperor Jingwen did not know what his unlucky son was thinking, otherwise he would have been angry to death.

In the end, Jianjian went out to sea under the unfavourable eyes of others.

Seeing that she had grown into a different appearance without his care, he could not help but feel a little lost.

Originally, he had planned to find a good husband for Jianjian…

Emperor Taicheng also suddenly remembered that the dowry he had sent before his death might not be useful.

But then he immediately realised one thing, why was Xiaojiu so sure that there must be something he wanted overseas? It was the same with Lucheng Rice at the beginning. If he was not sure, he would not have spent a lot of money to let people find it.

It seems that his younger brother still has a lot of secrets.

Emperor Taicheng’s eyebrows moved, as if thinking about something.

Soon, the prince and others also began to touch their chins at the same time.

Ye Shuo, who had no idea that his biggest secret was about to be revealed by a certain projection, was currently making plans.

The trip has come to a critical moment.

After Jianjian left, some rumours soon spread in Shangjing City, saying that the Great Zhou’s territory was expanding, there was a shortage of talents, and a large number of fresh blood was needed to fill the vacancies. In this way, the next imperial examination would be crucial.

The ministers who were originally wavering suddenly changed. Smart people have almost guessed the intention of the emperor by now, and naturally want to seize the opportunity.

Soon, there was a wave of women reading in Shangjing and even across the country.

“Ah, it seems that everyone is led by Xiaojiu by the nose.” The second prince couldn’t help but sigh.

The fourth prince pursed his lips, “This can’t be helped.”

If it’s not me, it will be someone else. How can those smart people let themselves fall behind? When it is obvious that they can’t kill Xiaojiu with just this rumoured news, they can only passively or actively let Xiaojiu manipulate them.

Xiaojiu kept saying that she was just a princess, but his actions were completely opposite to what he said.

True and false, false and true, when everyone reacts, it will be too late.

Sure enough, if you want to judge a person, you can’t just look at what he says, but also look at what he does. Words can deceive people, but actions never can.

After the gang of people above had already done enough, the time was almost right. Three years later, Jianjian came back and joined forces with Zou Wu to give opponents a loud slap in the face, which made it impossible to refute. Sure enough, it worked…

From Zou Wu’s assistance in completely defeating Beiting and becoming the Minister of Works, to Jianjian’s return from the sea, Xiaojiu took the two of them as an excuse to propose the female official system, which was progressive and exciting.

Seeing that Prince Ding seemed to be trying to stop it in the picture, Emperor Jingwen suddenly had hope, but… But in the blink of an eye, Prince Ding was persuaded to retreat by Prince Qi, and the female official issue was set in stone.

Emperor Jingwen’s expression froze.

No, what’s wrong with this old seventh? Didn’t you agree to steal Xiaojiu’s kingdom? How can you help so sincerely?

And the eldest brother is the same. After his son has a promising future, he doesn’t care about the lives of others, right? Do you still have any awareness of being the leader of the royal family?

Facts have proved that there is no such thing at all. What does it have to do with them what others do in the future? They just need to get the benefits now.

When this day finally came, Emperor Jingwen gave up completely.

In addition to the female official system, seeing that Xiaojiu seemed to be planning to take action against the aristocratic families, even Emperor Taicheng couldn’t help but want to say “you are so brave”. How can the aristocratic families that have monopolised the country for a hundred years be so easy to deal with?

However, Xiaojiu is so desperate almost every time. After so many times, Emperor Taicheng and others are used to it, but they don’t know how he is going to do it specifically.

Soon, Emperor Taicheng and others saw the new paper and pen that Xiaojiu had prepared long ago. Of course, the most important thing is the printing technology.

The reason why the noble families were able to form a monopoly was because paper and pens were expensive and ordinary people could not afford them. As time went by, more and more books flowed into the pockets of the noble families and were firmly held in their hands. It was easy to tamper with them, or to deliberately distort and quote them out of context to control the thoughts of the scholars. As a result, the power of the noble families became increasingly huge and could not be easily shaken.

But now, the monopoly of the noble families on knowledge and learning is finally coming to an end.

Seeing the ugly expressions of the heads of the noble families, Emperor Jingwen and others just found it funny. These people who relied on their own knowledge to enslave the scholars desperately, actually have today.

As the noble families were heading towards the end of their ways, once the barriers of knowledge were broken, it became much easier for ordinary people to read and write.

As the cost of reading and writing decreased, there were more and more female students, which was also very helpful for the system of female officials. In addition, Xiaojiu specially opened a course on kung fu and internal strength, and the physical strength gap between men and women began to gradually narrow. In the blink of an eye, more than ten years had passed. Seeing that there were more and more women in the court, Emperor Jingwen had no choice even if he didn’t want to give up.

Although women only account for 20% of the 100 ministers, it is obvious that the future that Xiaojiu has imagined has already taken shape. In addition, Xiaojiu is still in good health, so waiting for another ten or eight years is not a problem. After ten or eight years, it will be more than that.

Emperor Jingwen watched Xiaojiu kill batches of people over the years, and also mowed down many people by the way, just like pruning a landscape tree slowly and ruthlessly. This landscape tree finally has the look he wants.

Now the voice of resistance is getting weaker and weaker. Seeing that the time is almost up, everyone seems to be looking forward to something. Dingning, who has already grown up, found Xiaojiu and named the young master of Xuanping Marquis’s family, preparing to have a few children with him.

After listening to the many reasons why Dingning chose the other party, Emperor Jingwen immediately spurted out a mouthful of tea.

What skeleton children will also be relatively small and easier to give birth, what obedient and sensible… Listen, listen, does this sound like what a woman should say?
