46. ​​Chapter 46


Chapter 46

History is like a flowery but intricate maze, with unknown secrets hidden at every turn. That emperor's name left a deep mark on the long history of history, but it was also accompanied by endless controversy. Some people say that he was ruthless, and for the sake of the supreme throne, he did not hesitate to end his father's rule with his own hands, forcing his mother to live with hatred, and even killed his own limbs. His methods were so cruel that it was outrageous. He is also ruthless towards those heroes who have helped him, as if being ruthless and unjust is his natural label.

However, there is also another voice that softly sounds in the writings of literati, saying that he was diligent and caring for the people, working day and night on state affairs, but unfortunately died young, those about "Lu Siniang avenged her father's assassination of Yongzheng" "The story is just a fabrication by later generations, which adds a mysterious color to this history.

Time flies, when Qianlong succeeded to the throne, in order to stabilize the shaky government, he chose to compromise with the powerful and abolished the system that once required officials and gentry to perform labor and pay food. "Although it has its name, it has gradually become an empty shell, unable to get to the core of the problem.

At this moment, Li Qingge, a woman wearing a dragon robe with determination and wisdom between her brows, is standing in the splendid palace. Her voice is clear and powerful, penetrating the dust of the years: "If the land policy is not changed, how can the people live and work in peace and contentment? We are all the children of our parents. Sir, why do the people have to endure such suffering, while the gentry, landlords, and wealthy businessmen can enjoy all the glory and wealth with the land in their hands? I, Li Qingge, will never allow my people to continue to struggle in such suffering. I want to Let them straighten their backs and live with human dignity!”

Liu Yong, this veteran minister, had a calm face and complex emotions flashing in his eyes. He asked in a low voice: "Your Majesty, do you plan to follow the example of Emperor Yongzheng and restart the policy of 'dividing children into mothers'?"

These four words "spreading one's diners into one's acres" seemed to carry the weight of history, echoing in the empty hall. Abolition of the poll tax and taxation based on the amount of land was a policy that was beneficial to farmers, but it was also a heavy blow to the landlords and gentry. Liu Yong knew very well that although this policy was good, it could not touch the fundamentals.

Li Qingge shook her head slightly. Her eyes passed through the layers of palace walls, as if she could see the figures of farmers working hard on the vast land. "'Dividing farmers into acres' is just a temporary solution rather than a permanent solution. The land is still concentrated in the hands of a few people, and the people still suffer. What I want to do is to completely change everything."

Liu Yong frowned, he There was a trace of uncertainty in his voice. An: "Your Majesty, what are your plans?"

Li Qingge's words, like a sharp sword, cut off all hesitation and shrinkage: "I want to truly realize 'land to the tiller, land to the dweller'" House'.

As soon as these words came out, it was like a bolt from the blue, shaking Liu Yong's heart. His eyes widened, and he secretly exclaimed: This is not just a simple attack on the landlords, it has shaken the foundation of the entire society! Since ancient times, land has been a symbol of private ownership. Even if there is a peasant uprising, they dare not touch this bottom line easily. The power of the landowners and gentry is intricate and deep-rooted. Once it is touched, the consequences will be disastrous.

Liu Yong took a deep breath and tried to dissuade him: "Your Majesty, your actions are undoubtedly stirring up a hornet's nest..."

Li Qingge was not afraid, her eyes flashed with determination. Guang Guang: "No matter if it is a wasp or a poisonous insect, whoever dares to stop it, I will Burn them! I, Li Qingge, have never known what fear is. As long as I have the land in my hands, the support of the people, and the backing of a strong army, what should I be afraid of?"

Liu Yongshen? Taking a breath, he seemed to be infected by Li Qingge's enthusiasm, and his voice became firmer. She made up her mind: "Since Your Majesty has made a plan, I will definitely follow it to the end. Even if it is a sea of ​​swords and fire, I will help you get rid of these moths that are knocking the bones and sucking the marrow of the people!"

A warm current surged in Li Qingge's heart, she Smiling happily: "Sure enough, you were right. Land The coup involves many things and the interests are complicated. It is impossible for me to manage a country by myself. Only an honest person like you who always considers the people can implement the policy to the end. If you are willing to go through fire and water for me, I will not do it in the future. I will fail you!”

The monarch and his ministers looked at each other and smiled, their eyes shining with determination, as if they had seen the coming new era.

Then, Li Qingge said: "The country has just been established, and the laws have not yet been implemented. I have said before that the yin and yang of the heaven and the earth, the universe and the universe are equal, and men and women should be equal. I want to implement the equality of men and women through the law and abolish monogamy. Monogamy and multiple concubines from now on. , Men can only marry one wife, and women can only marry one husband. The religion of concubines and concubines should not appear in the land I rule. "

Li Qingge's words are like this. Thunder and lightning struck Liu Yong hard in the heart. If the agrarian coup stokes a hornet's nest, then the implementation of laws on gender equality is like the Yellow River bursting its banks, which will trigger an unprecedented social change. This not only touches the interests of powerful people, but also wildly jumps into the minefield of the majority of men. Once implemented, I don’t know how those self-centered men who regard women as playthings and reproductive tools will riot wildly.

Liu Yong's heart was filled with shock and confusion. He looked at Li Qingge as if he was looking at a madman. However, Li Qingge's eyes were sharp and he could see through his mind at a glance. She laughed wildly and said: "As long as you live, you will die sooner or later. If you can bring happiness and peace to the people of the world, why not sacrifice your life?"

This wanton arrogance made Liu Yong feel dazed for a while. . He was stunned for a while, his eyes were filled with pride, and he laughed loudly: "Your Majesty is right! People are bound to die. As long as you can be good to the people, everything you do is worth it. Since you have such determination, I will sacrifice my life to accompany the gentleman, break through this layer of filth, and change the sky to a clear sky!"

The monarch and his minister seemed to be driven by the same belief. Their hearts were closely connected and they embarked on this path full of challenges and changes together. They know that there will be endless difficulties and obstacles waiting for them ahead, but they also believe that as long as there is light in their hearts, nothing can stop them from moving forward.

Li Qingge is a doer who does what she says and acts resolutely. Her figure is as bright in the court as among the people, like a green pine under the scorching sun, tall and tenacious. Once she made a decision in her heart, it was an unstoppable torrent that could not be stopped by mountains and rivers.

On this day, as the morning light first broke, Li Qingge was fully dressed, wearing a dragon robe, showing unquestionable determination in his majesty. She stood in front of the window of the Ming Palace, looking out at the gradually awakening city, but her heart was already filled with the storm that was about to break out. She turned around and said softly but firmly to Liu Yong, the head of the hundred officials and Zhongshu Ling, who was standing next to her: "Liu Qing, convene the parliament immediately and ask all the ministers to come to discuss the affairs of the country."

When Liu Yong heard this, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, but he quickly followed the order and left. He knew that the queen had always acted eclectically, and every decision she made was enough to shock both the government and the public.

On the day Li Qingge ascended the throne, he instituted a five-day work week system, which was intended to allow ministers to rest and better serve the country. However, even though it was Saturday, the officials were all dressed up early, as if being pulled by invisible forces, and hurried to the parliament. Their hearts were filled with doubts and uneasiness, and discussions arose one after another.

"Why did you call us here in such a hurry?" a minister asked in a low voice, frowning.

"Isn't Saturday a rest day? Why did the Queen summon her at this time?" Another minister echoed, with confusion written on his face.

"Who knows, but it must be a big deal. We have to cheer up." An older official said in a deep voice, trying to calm everyone's emotions.

While they were discussing, the sound of the jade bell sounded melodiously, like an ancient call. The ministers straightened their clothes, lined up, and entered the hall. Although the Ming Palace is not as solemn and majestic as the Hall of Supreme Harmony in the Forbidden City, it still has a special sense of solemnity under the majesty of Li Qingge.

In the main hall, Li Qingge was sitting on the throne. The bronze mask covered her face, but it could not hide her eyes that were as cold as electricity. They were majestic and deep, as if they could see into people's hearts. She looked around at the ministers and said in a cold and firm voice: "I summoned you because there are two major matters that need to be discussed."

After saying that, she paused for a moment, glanced at everyone with her eyes like a torch, and continued to ask: "The year before last, various places were hit by great floods that had never happened in a century. People were displaced and lived in poverty. I led the people to revolt, and I wanted to build a peaceful country. , so that the people can live in peace. However, during a recent private visit, it was found that the people have lost a lot of land. Why is this?"

When the ministers heard this, they were all worried. Could it be that the queen wanted to fulfill the uprising? promise? For a moment, the hall was silent except for the sound of breathing.

Seeing this, Li Qingge's voice became even colder: "Why don't you answer? Is it because you don't know, or you don't dare to say?"

"Queen, calm down!" The ministers responded quickly in unison, with a hint of emotion in their voices. A shiver.

Li Qingge snorted coldly, full of anger: "Calm down? Are you just going to ask me to calm down?"

At this time, Chen Hongmou stood up bravely, his voice trembling slightly: "Natural and man-made disasters have continued one after another. In the heavy rain two years ago, the people were displaced and had no harvest. In order to survive, they had to sell their fields to the landlords and gentry at low prices. "

Li Qingge nodded, with a trace of regret flashing in his eyes: "It is true that natural disasters are one of the reasons why people have lost their land, but man-made disasters are the root cause. In order to occupy more land, the landlords and gentry used natural disasters to speculate on grain prices, forcing the people to sell their land at low prices and buy high-priced grains. In the end, the landless people became landlord tenants. The root of peasant uprisings throughout the ages."

Every time she spoke, her face became darker, until she was livid, as if she was suppressing endless anger. Although wearing a mask, the ministers could still feel the strong anger and hatred from her words, and they felt increasingly uneasy.

“I ask you, how to solve the problem of land annexation?” Li Qingge’s voice echoed in the hall, like an alarm bell.

All the ministers knew that land matters were very involved, and if they were not careful, they might lead to revenge from those with vested interests, so they were afraid to speak out. They had no choice but to respond in unison again: "The humble minister is incompetent, please calm down, Your Majesty!"

"Che Zhulu repeatedly said, as the pillars of the country, will you just ask me to appease my anger?" Li Qingge's voice became more severe, revealing an unquestionable determination, "Since you have nothing to do, then I will do it myself. You, etc. happiness Do you like to annex people's land? Okay, I'll see how they embezzle and occupy it!"

As soon as this statement came out, all the ministers except Liu Yong opened their eyes in shock, as if they had heard a fantasy. .

Li Qingge ignored everyone's reaction and continued to announce: "From today onwards, private ownership of land will be abolished and all land transactions will be cancelled."

She shouted loudly: "Liu Yong——"

Liu Yong heard the sound and responded respectfully: "Wei Chen is here!"

"I appoint you as the envoy of the land coup, and you will seize the land immediately. Everywhere you go, it will be like I am here in person. Anyone who dares to stop you will be killed!" Li Qingge's voice was firm and decisive, revealing irresistible power.

Liu Yong accepted the order proudly: "Yes, I obey the order!"

Li Qingge's order was like a boulder striking water, instantly setting off a stormy sea. I think back when Emperor Yongzheng of the Qing Dynasty implemented the policy of dividing every landowner into an equal share of land, it only gave some blood to the landowners and gentry, which aroused the anger of the people and made him a tyrant. Now Her Majesty the Queen's move is even more radical than that of Yongzheng. She not only wants to bleed blood and eat meat, but also wants to get to the bottom of things and completely overturn the old land system. The ministers were horrified, as if they had seen the coming storm.

Although they appear to be honest and honest on the surface, they are inextricably linked to the landlords and gentry. To overthrow the landowners is to dig their flesh and drink their blood. For a time, the court was in chaos. Countless officials were ashen-faced. They held high the banner that private ownership of land was ancestral law and morality, and demanded that Li Qingge immediately withdraw his order.

"Your Majesty, you must not do this!" a minister shouted at the top of his lungs.

"Although your Majesty's move is beneficial to the people, there are so many landlords and gentry in the world. If all of them are deprived of their land, the world will be in chaos!" Another minister said eagerly.

"Not only will the world be in chaos, but it may also trigger coups in various places. By then, wars will break out and uprisings will continue, and the country will no longer exist!" Another minister said worriedly.

"Land has been sacred and inviolable private property since ancient times. Your Majesty, please think twice!" an old minister warned in a trembling voice.

“Even if Your Majesty feels pity for the people of the world and wants to benefit them, just imitate the policy of the previous emperor Yongzheng of the Qing Dynasty, why do you need to be so decisive?” A young official tried to find a solution. The best strategy.

However, Li Qingge was unmoved. She laughed angrily and said coldly: "Humph! You only know the so-called system and the laws of the ancestors. I, a little girl, don't understand anything. I know that those who win the hearts of the people win the world. As long as it is beneficial to the people, I am willing to do it. Whether you agree or disagree, I have decided to do this!”

She paused for a moment, glanced at everyone with burning eyes, and continued: "I want to see whether the power of the common people is stronger, or the so-called gentry and landlords!"

Those who win the hearts of the people win the world. , this is not empty talk. The common people do not care who is in power, nor whether the emperor is a man or a woman. They just hope to live and work in peace and contentment, and don't care about anything else. For those farmers who rely on farming for their livelihood, land is their lifeblood. Li Qingge knew this very well, so she was willing to risk the disapproval of the world to fight for the rights and interests that belonged to them.

At this moment, Li Qingge’s figure looked particularly tall and firm in the court. She is like a flag, leading the country to a new future. And those ministers, after being shocked and uneasy, began to gradually realize that Her Majesty the Queen might really be able to lead them on an unusual path and make this country glow with new vitality and vitality.

In the vast territory of the Great Yan Kingdom, the spring sunshine gently falls on the splendid palace. The golden brilliance complements the deep vermilion in the palace, making it look particularly solemn and sacred. Li Qingge, the founding king of the country, was dressed in a gorgeous yet majestic dragon robe and sat on a high dragon chair. Her eyes were as sharp as an eagle, as if she could see through all the illusions in the world.

"Whoever can give land to the people will be treated by the people as if they are not related by blood." This sentence came out of her mouth, with undoubted power, echoing in the Every corner of the hall. Although her voice was soft, it was as heavy as a thousand pounds, making everyone present breathless.

Outside the main hall, spring is in full bloom, with peach blossoms in full bloom, pink and white, in sharp contrast to the solemnity of the palace, as if nature is giving gentle comfort to the empress. However, the atmosphere in the palace was as tense as an arrow on a string, on the verge of breaking out. Li Qingge's eyes swept over every official present. Their expressions were different, some were nervous, some were frightened, and most were confused and puzzled. "Although there are many gentry and landowners, they are still far behind the power of hundreds of millions of people." There was a hint of ridicule in her words, but it also revealed a deep understanding of the power of the people. In her mind, she has already drawn a grand blueprint, which is a utopia where there is no exploitation or oppression, and everyone can have their own land.

“If we allocate land to the people for farming, then the people who get the land will definitely be like a child who cannot live without his mother. In order to protect their own interests, they will do anything to protect their own interests. Stand by Li Qingge without hesitation and support her to the end." At this point, a trace of tenderness flashed in her eyes, which was a longing for the future and a deep trust in the people.

Li Qingge's heart was as clear as a mirror. She knew that although this road to reform was difficult, as long as she had the support of the people, she would have nothing to fear. The noisy officials fell into silence under the pressure of her momentum, and the hall was suddenly so quiet that the only sound they could hear was their own breathing.

She snorted coldly, her voice as cold as the cold wind: "Do you know what is the most powerful? I tell you, it is the people of the world! In the Great Yan Kingdom, the people are the masters. Whoever dares to hinder the people I will never let him off lightly!" Her voice was so penetrating that it seemed to pierce directly into people's hearts, making those officials with ulterior motives shudder.

A faint smile appeared on Li Qingge's face, but what was hidden behind that smile was a will that was colder than ice: "Why don't you speak? Are you shocked by my wise decision, or... Do you think that men and women should not be equal, and women can only carry on the family line and warm the bed for men? Or do you think that a little woman like me should not ascend the throne and issue orders to you?" Her tone was soft, but every word was as sharp as a knife. Stinging.

Faced with Li Qingge’s questioning, the ministers looked at each other and quickly shook their heads in denial. Although they were unwilling and unwilling in their hearts, they did not dare to show it at all. They were all veterans who followed Li Qingge in the uprising and founded the country. They knew that the empress' temperament, her methods, and her determination were not something they could easily shake.

Li Qingge's eyes seemed to be burning with raging anger, and she said angrily: "In prosperous times, beauties are just decoration; in troubled times, beauties have to bear the blame. If the husband has no children, he will call his wife a mother who cannot lay eggs. "Chicken; my wife didn't remain a widow for long before she became a scapegoat. This is all because of the concept that men are superior to women, so everything is women's fault?" Her voice was full of dissatisfaction and indignation against the old times.

“Also, if a married man flirts with women outside, he is called a romantic; if a married woman looks at other men more than once, she becomes a womanizer and unruly. This is really a double standard. ! You men, do you really think you can keep women under your feet forever?" Her tone revealed strong unwillingness and anger, as if she wanted to break this thousand-year shackles.

"Huh! I work hard not only for the benefit of the people, but also to save those female compatriots who are trapped in the shackles of ethics. Women and men are the same!" Her voice was firm and powerful, as if It is declaring this truth to the whole world.

"In the future, if anyone dares to restrain a woman with such foul words as the three obediences and four virtues, and the husband's guide to his wife, I will never let him have an easy time. I do what I say. If you don't believe me, you can give it a try." There was unquestionable determination in her eyes. , making everyone present feel an invisible pressure.

After a long silence, a minister finally plucked up the courage and stood up and said: "Your Majesty, this is absolutely impossible. The three obediences and four virtues are the laws of our ancestors, and the superiority of men to women is the way of heaven. Even if your majesty is the reincarnation of a goddess, You can't go against the will of heaven!" There was a tremor in his voice, obviously he was afraid of Li Qingge's decision.

When he said this, several literati who were not usually very showy also emerged to agree with him. They either made passionate speeches or spoke earnestly, trying to persuade Li Qingge with the traditional concept of having more children and more blessings.

"Your Majesty, think twice! Women's fertility is limited. If men don't take more concubines, how can they ensure the inheritance of the family's incense?"

"Yes! Men have three wives and four concubines. It’s not for pleasure, but for the reproduction of population.”

"If we use the law to make men and women equal and eliminate concubinage, I'm afraid the world will be in chaos. Your Majesty finally established the Great Yan Dynasty. This is a long-term achievement and cannot be destroyed in one day!"

In their words! Full of adherence to tradition and fear of change, he failed to see that beneath Li Qingge's mask, that beautiful face had become distorted with anger. She clenched her hands into fists and dug her nails into her palms, as if she wanted to crush all the injustice and constraints.

Liu Yong stood aside with a frown on his face. He knew Li Qingge's temper very well. Those who dared to challenge her authority were undoubtedly seeking their own death. He prayed secretly in his heart, hoping that these ministers would understand the current affairs and not offend the empress again.

However, Li Qingge did not leave any escape route for them. Her voice was as cold as the cold wind: "What is the blessing of having more children? Your family does not have a throne to inherit, why do you have so many children? Wait for the landlord The gentry class no longer exists. Without huge land assets, having more children is a burden."

However, Li Qingge's heart is full of longing and determination for the future. She knew that although this road was difficult, as long as she persisted, she would be able to lead Dayan Country to a brighter and more equal future. She believes that history will prove that her choice is correct, and those who dare to stand in her way will eventually be forgotten by history.

In that ancient and solemn palace, the sunlight filtered through the carved window lattice and scattered on the marble floor, adding a bit of softness to the cold and hard space. Li Qingge, the queen in gorgeous clothes and pearls on her head, sits on a high throne, her eyes are as sharp as an eagle, and there is an imperceptible smile on her lips, which is a mixture of confidence and ridicule. smile. Her face is beautiful and stern, as if carved from the hardest jade, which makes people both awe and fascinated.

"What they fear most is that people like Qin Hui will be nailed to the pillar of shame and have future generations point their spines and scold them, making it impossible for future generations to gain a foothold in the world." Hers The words were clear and powerful, and each word seemed to be fished out of an ice cellar, carrying a biting chill and hitting the depths of the souls of everyone present.

The ministers looked at each other with horror and helplessness written on their faces. Some of them frowned, as if they could squeeze out water; some had flashing eyes, trying to find a way to escape the storm. But most of them are those who lower their heads and dare not look directly at the Queen. Their hearts are full of fear of the unknown and despair of the future.

"Threatening us with your stink for thousands of years? Humph, this is really a cruel move!" Li Qingge chuckled, and the sound echoed in the empty hall, which seemed particularly abrupt. Her eyes swept over everyone, and she felt an indescribable joy in her heart. She knew that these so-called loyal ministers were just people who were greedy for life and afraid of death, and acted according to the prevailing circumstances, but as long as she could benefit the people, she would not hesitate to bear the infamy of the ages.

"Li Qingge looked at the painful expressions on everyone's faces, and couldn't be happier." Her inner monologue was like a ray of sunshine in winter, warm and a bit naughty. She enjoyed the feeling of being in control of the overall situation, and even more enjoyed the fun of playing with these self-proclaimed wise men.

"You actually threaten my aunt with turmoil in the country and chaos in the world! Then I will use my infamous tricks to disgust you. Come on, let's hurt each other! Let's see if my throne is secure, or if you will Reduced to the level of Qin Hui and Zhao Gao." Her voice suddenly rose, with unquestionable majesty, as if she was the judge of the entire world.

"Shi Shuyu!" She called out the name, her voice firm and powerful.

"I'm here!" A man wearing silver armor and a resolute face shouted out. He was the commander of the White Horse Army, Shi Shuyu. His eyes revealed infinite loyalty to the Queen, a faith that transcended life and death.

Li Qingge ordered coldly: "Take your White Horse Army and Liu Yong to seize the land. If anyone dares to stop them, kill them on the spot without reporting to me!" There was no trace of any fear in her tone. He hesitated, as if he was giving an ordinary order.

"Yes!" Shi Shuyu agreed loudly. His voice echoed in the palace, carrying an irresistible force.

When the ministers saw this scene, they were even more frightened and trembling. They had seen with their own eyes the power of the White Horse Army. That army was like the scythe of death, killing not a single blade of grass in its path. Now let them go with Liu Yong. If anyone dares to resist, isn't that asking for death?

"Your Majesty the Queen, why are you more ruthless and merciless than those male monarchs?" An old minister secretly muttered in his heart, but he did not dare to show a trace of dissatisfaction on his face.

Li Qingge glanced at the ministers with cold eyes and said in a deep voice: "I am not an ungrateful person. If you conquer the world with me, I will definitely give you the glory and wealth you deserve. But don't be greedy. Especially the interests of the people cannot be touched at all, otherwise you will be dead!" There was an unquestionable majesty in her voice, as if she was declaring her determination to everyone.

The ministers suppressed their dissatisfaction and gritted their teeth and said: "Yes, Her Majesty the Queen!" Their voices were full of helplessness and humiliation, but they knew that the Queen was determined and no one could stop her.

Li Qingge waved his hand and motioned for them to step back: "Okay, I'm done. Liu Yong, Shi Shuyu, and Su Xiaomei stay, and everyone else should step back."

"Your Majesty, please retire!" The ministers bowed and resigned one after another as if they had received an amnesty. Their steps were staggering, as if they were escaping from a terrifying dream.

After the ministers had dispersed, Li Qingge looked at the three people left behind, and her eyes became much softer. She knew that these three people would be a solid backing for her to realize her ideals.

"Liu Yong, changes in land policies in the past dynasties will cause countless bloodshed. But for the people of the world, the bloodshed is worth it. This matter requires fearless courage. Tell me, can you afford it? Are you afraid?" Her voice was full of anticipation and encouragement.

Liu Yong stepped forward and said with no shame: "I will never give up even if I die, and I will never regret it even if I die!" His voice was firm and powerful, as if he was declaring his determination to the whole world.

"Okay!" Li Qingge was moved by his courage and patted him on the shoulder, which was a silent approval and encouragement.

She turned to Shi Shuyu again, with a hint of tenderness in her voice: "Although the landlords and gentry are in conflict with the interests of the people, they are also good people. They are usually charitable and benefit the countryside, and they donate rice and grain when encountering natural disasters. Before taking action, be sure to Find out what they usually do. Good people should keep their property and only take away the land. Do not harm innocent people, you know? "

Shi Shuyu nodded and said, "Wei Chen knows." His eyes showed his concern. The Queen's awe and trust are a tacit understanding that requires no words.

"As for those who oppress good people, run rampant in the countryside, exploit and exploit, and have no regard for the life and death of the people..." Li Qingge's voice suddenly became cold, and a trace of cruelty flashed in her eyes, "Adult men are all Kill them, confiscate their land, and transfer their property to the treasury."

"Yes!" Shi Shuyu agreed without hesitation, his voice full of loyalty to the queen and determination to execute the order.

Then, Li Qingge looked at Su Xiaomei again, her eyes revealing a bit of tenderness and concern: "Xiaomei, you are thoughtful. I will share the farming with the common people, including men, women, old and young. I'm worried about what's going on below. People will still favor boys over girls and only give it to men but not to women. Please help me keep an eye on it and make sure that every woman in the family can get the land. ”

Su Xiaomei looked stern and replied solemnly: "Your Majesty, don't worry, I will keep an eye on you!" Her voice revealed her trust in the Queen and her seriousness in her duties.

When the first ray of sunlight in the morning penetrated the mist and gently shone on the blue bricks and black tiles of Jinling City, Li Qingge was already standing on the terrace of the mansion, her figure particularly outlined by the morning light. Strong yet gentle. She was wearing an elegant plain dress, with only a simple hosta in her bun, but her otherworldly temperament could not be concealed. Li Qingge looked far away at the land that was about to undergo change, his eyes shining with deep concern for the fate of women and unlimited expectations for the future.

"This matter is not only about the land, but also the freedom and dignity of countless female compatriots." She whispered to herself. Although her voice was soft, her words were sonorous and powerful, as if they could penetrate the clouds. Go straight to the deepest part of the human heart. She turned around, faced the maid Su Xiaomei standing beside her, and warned her again: "Xiaomei, you must remember that every step we take must be cautious and there is no room for mistakes."

Hearing this, Su Xiaomei's eyes flashed A touch of determination and admiration. She was dressed in a blue maid uniform. Although she was inconspicuous, her clear eyes seemed to be filled with stars and a sea of ​​stars, shining with admiration for Li Qingge, the queen in her heart, and infinite longing for the future. She bowed respectfully, and her voice was clear and firm: "Yes, Miss, Xiaomei will definitely live up to her trust!"

Then, Li Qingge walked into the study, sat in front of the case with Liu Yong and a group of staff, Start discussing the specific matters of land reform. In the study room, the candlelight flickered, reflecting everyone's face. Their expressions were sometimes solemn and sometimes passionate, as if they were drawing a magnificent historical picture together. Li Qingge's voice is gentle and powerful. She listens patiently to everyone's opinions and puts forward her own unique insights from time to time. Her eyes show both firm belief in the future and rigorous control of details.

During the conversation, the sky outside the window gradually dimmed and stars began to decorate the night sky, while the atmosphere in the study became increasingly lively. After more than two hours of intense discussion, plans for land collection and distribution gradually took shape. Everyone's heart was filled with unprecedented excitement and expectations.

The bell of change finally sounded, and like an unstoppable torrent, it quickly swept through the entire south. During this storm, the Tao family mansion became the center of attention. This once glorious house was now shrouded in a depressing cloud. Mr. Tao sat in his study, his face full of wrinkles, each one like a trace carved by time, recording the rise and fall of the family. There was both fear of the unknown and nostalgia for the glory of the past in his eyes.

Just as everyone in the Tao family was in a panic, busy packing away their belongings and preparing to escape, a burst of rapid horse hooves broke the tranquility of the night. The white horse army led by Liu Yong and Shi Shuyu descended like magic soldiers from the sky and instantly surrounded the Tao family. Liu Yong was wearing armor and had a heroic appearance. His voice echoed in the night, full of unquestionable majesty: "I have been ordered to handle the case. Everyone in the Tao family must not act rashly!"

Shi Shuyu is a With a calm and experienced look, he waved his hand, and the white horse army quickly and orderly controlled the Tao family. Their movements were agile and precise, as if they were performing a carefully choreographed dance, and every movement exuded a well-trained atmosphere.

Faced with this sudden change, Mrs. Tao's eldest son forced himself to remain calm and stepped forward to try to deal with Liu Yong. His words were full of dissatisfaction and anger, but more importantly, fear of the unknown. He tried to use money to calm the turmoil, but he did not expect Liu Yong to be so upright and directly refused his bribe.

"Hmph, do you think money can buy everything?" Liu Yong sneered, his eyes blazing, "I only know how to serve the public and abide by the law, and share the worries of Her Majesty the Queen. Although your Tao family is very wealthy, if you dare to hinder the change, you will be severely punished! "

When Mrs. Tao's eldest son heard this, his expression suddenly changed, and a fierce look flashed in his eyes. His threatening words were like a sharp sword drawn from its sheath, directed at Liu Yong and Queen Li Qingge. However, he did not expect that these words not only did not scare Liu Yong, but instead angered Shi Shuyu who was standing aside.

Shi Shuyu is a tall man with a stern face. He is usually taciturn, but when he gets angry, he can be as terrifying as a mountain falling apart. He took a step forward, glared at Mrs. Tao's eldest son, and said in a low and powerful voice: "Do you know that you are slandering not only Her Majesty the Queen, but also the hearts of countless people who are longing for change and freedom! If you Tao Jiaruo If you dare to continue doing evil, I, Shi, will be the first to not spare you!”

The night wind roared, seeming to cheer for the coming change. In the Tao family's mansion, a battle about power, justice and the future quietly unfolded. Behind this change is the unremitting efforts and firm belief of Li Qingge and a group of people with lofty ideals for the interests and freedom of female compatriots. Their figures have left an indelible mark in the long history of history and have become a good story that will be praised by future generations.
