It was another year in March, and it was time for the selection of concubines in the palace again.

In recent years, under the governance of Liu Fang, the Great Wei Dynasty has changed its original decadence and decline, but has shown signs of prosperity again.

The first is the reform of the administration of officials. Because Liu Fang eliminated most of the inactive officials from the court at the very beginning, leaving only officials who could do practical work, and added many young loyal subordinates who had been specially cultivated by her, so that the entire Wei Dynasty is now The administration of the government has been completely renewed, bursting with vigor.

The second is the renewal of the law. Liu Fang made a decree and called together many great scholars who were very knowledgeable about the law and people's livelihood, and revised the law to be more perfect. Of course, it could not be perfect, but in this era, he did the best he could. Fair and perfect.

Then there is the abolition of the family. Liu Fang did not completely get rid of the family. It's just that because of the re-enactment of the law, some special treatment for noble families has been significantly weakened. In addition, the team she uses now is cultivated by herself, and the major families have no way to interfere in the government and obstruct her reform.

In this way, the power of the aristocratic family gradually weakened, and for the Liu family, who was also an aristocratic family, in truth, there was almost no loss.

After all, Liu Pu and others have now served in the court and helped Liu Fang according to their respective talents. In addition, the Liu family seldom used the original so-called family privileges.

That is to say, the carriage is better, the food and clothing expenses are better, and the rest are basically not much different from ordinary people. On the contrary, the family rules of the Liu family are here, but the Liu family is required to be the strictest and the least. May break the law and act indiscriminately.

Because once this is done, there is no need for laws at all, and the Liu family's family rules can directly kill such unworthy descendants.

Therefore, in this so-called family movement, the Liu family was not affected at all.

And this is something that everyone in the world, even Liang Sheng, thinks it is very incredible. In this way, everyone admires the Liu family more and more, and the Liu family's reputation and prestige become more and more prosperous.

Seeing this, Liu Zhi was also very happy.

At the beginning, he was worried that his little daughter's actions would attract criticism from all over the world. Unexpectedly, he didn't say anything at all, and now it has made the Liu family's reputation even better.

This was something that Liu Zhi didn't even think of, which made him extraordinarily surprised.

For such a result, in fact, Liu Fang had expected it for a long time.

.

If it weren't for the fact that the Liu family has always been people-oriented and the world-oriented, it would not have the fame it is today.

All of these are the good foundation laid by the ancestors of the Liu family, and it is also because of their foresight and prudence that the Liu family has the current good family motto and prestige.

The last is to encourage merchants to vigorously develop agriculture and industry. Liu Fang is dedicated to revitalizing people's livelihood, so that the people can at least be fed and clothed, and even in times of famine, they will not worry about the phenomenon of starvation floating in the wild.

When a common people's family has money and starts to get rich, in fact, most people can live well.

At the same time, for the sake of sustainable development in the future, Liu Fang also gradually restricted the various classes of the Wei Dynasty from taking concubines, and tried to achieve a monogamous system as much as possible.

Of course, it is definitely impossible to implement it immediately, but Liu Fang formulated more detailed laws according to the standards of different classes that began to tighten concubinage. In this way, instead of talking about the gentry and officials, only the common people Family, want to concubine, it is not so easy, simple.

At the same time, Liu Fang also encouraged widows to remarry, women to come out to work, etc. For a time, the Great Wei Dynasty glowed with a new atmosphere.

In order to prevent the literati from mastering their speeches and causing the people at the bottom to be deceived, Liu Fang also asked people to create a newspaper, write a lot of scriptures, etc., to promote the government and increase the popular science of people's literacy...

After a series of actions, now, the entire Wei Dynasty actually understands that the real master is the Empress, who is in charge of the country and who has made earth-shaking changes in the lives of the common people.

In general, Liu Fang's reputation among the people is more positive than negative.

As for those pedantic people who insist on respecting men and feel that Liu Fang is not very safe, there are only a small number of them. Moreover, there are not many people they can deceive.

After Liu Fang popularized the popularization of literacy science throughout the Wei Dynasty, I believe that no one will believe their words anymore.

In fact, most ordinary people don't know much about so-called politics. They only feel that after Liu Fang ruled the country, their lives have improved, they have become richer, and their lives have become more stable. That's fine. They will respect Liu Fang from the bottom of their hearts, it doesn't matter if she is a man or a woman.

...

Under Liu Fang's great prestige and powerful authority, Wei Chengdi could only live in humiliation.

It was because life was too suffocating, so he put all his thoughts on the draft.

At the top of the palace, the selection of palace concubine every three years is the only time when Wei Chengdi can make him feel that he is in control.

Because Liu Fang never cared about him, as long as he was honest and didn't bother the people.

Therefore, every time the palace concubine is selected, she will not participate in it. She has no opinion on how Wei Chengdi chooses.

After all, she would send someone to investigate these people who entered the palace to participate in the selection at the beginning, knowing that they were all willing to enter the palace, that's all.

Others, it is not something that Liu Fang can control and is willing to manage.

The same is true for this selection.

A total of 100 women from small officials entered the palace to participate in the selection, and they were all between fifteen and seventeen. Emperor Wei Cheng selected five women and accepted them as family members. One was lucky that night.

Liu Fang naturally ignored this, but Mo He, as her confidant, collected all the news in and outside the palace, so she still told Liu Fang about these things.

"First, His Majesty Linxing's family was born in Xuanzhou. He was a seven-rank petty official in the local city government. He was the secretary of the inner government. His surname was Yan. It's just gradually like this..."

Liu Fang nodded slightly, "Well, you can just stare at these people. As long as you don't toss, you don't have to worry about it."

"Yes, master."

"How are they doing, Your Highness?"

Mo He smiled and said, "His Royal Highness and the others are studying very hard now. Although there is competition, it has not affected their relationship. Speaking of which, several His Royal Highnesses and princesses are already seven years old, so they should learn more formally. useful stuff."

Liu Fang nodded, "Indeed, let the gentlemen let go of teaching. In addition, select a few suitable companions from the family and send them together."

"Yes."

...

Yan Xin smiled and looked at the reward sent by His Majesty, leaning lazily on the soft couch, looking at the precious jewels and all kinds of brocades in front of her, her smile became more and more complacent.

She said to the system in her mind, "How is it? Has the value of the strategy increased?"

The mechanical and rigid voice of the system sounded: "The target of the host's strategy: the current emperor Wei Chengdi, the value of the strategy: 30%. The strategy has already improved, and I hope the host can continue to work hard! Complete the strategy as soon as possible!"

Yan Xin smiled slightly, and said in her mind, "Sure enough, all men cannot escape the temptation of women. What's more, the king of a country in ancient times? Oh, and you say that this task is hell-level, I don't think so."

It is even more difficult for abstinence medical scientists to come to the modern cold iceberg before.

The system said mechanically and rigidly again, "The host should pay attention that this mission level is **** level, which has been carefully evaluated by the system. If the mission fails, the system will be completely separated from the host, and it will not be bound."

Yan Xin's smile froze, and she said angrily in her mind, "I know, I won't fail."

Of course, she would rather live forever than live forever. And bound to this palace fighting strategy system, her small life was much more wonderful than her original!

She didn't want to lose the system, and then be an ordinary person and live a mediocre life.

Therefore, she will definitely work hard to complete the current strategy task, even if it is hell-level, she has a system, can't she still not be able to get this group of ordinary people in ancient times?

The most important thing now is to brush up Wei Chengdi's strategy value. Only if the strategy value is high, her mission will be more likely to be completed.

Of course, she also inquired before entering the palace. The emperor and the empress were not in harmony. Emperor Wei Cheng didn't like the current empress Liu very much. As long as she can fight Liu, naturally, Wei Chengdi's strategy value will reach 100%. And she will also become the queen of this world. As written in the novel, she will be with the emperor for a lifetime, handing down a rare love myth through the ages.

Thinking of this, Yan Xin seems to see that in the future, she and Wei Chengdi will become the most famous empress who have been in love for a lifetime in the history of this world...

It's so beautiful!

...

Liu Fang left Mo He to keep an eye on the affairs of the harem. For a while, Liu Fang did not find out what was wrong with Yan Xin. Now she is more concerned about the war in the northern Xinjiang.

Seven years ago, after Liu Fang completely controlled the government of the Great Wei Dynasty, he was carrying out a drastic reform of the administration of officials. A shocking leader, Meng Ge, emerged from the northern Mongolian tribe.

Meng Ge is the son of the leader of a small tribe in the Mengda tribe. He has been very intelligent and brave since he was a child, but the tribe he was born into is really too weak and is often oppressed by other powerful tribes. In order to get rid of such a predicament, Meng Ge took tribal teenagers of the same age as him to practice day and night, and finally let him train a group of very powerful warriors. With this group of warriors, he gradually united with other small tribes, and then defeated other tribes, changing the pattern of the current Mongolian tribe again.

With the passage of time, the present-day Mengtar tribes have faintly shown signs of unity.

At the same time, the new

After meeting the great Khan of the Mengtar tribe, he still wanted to gather troops to attack the Great Wei, to completely occupy the Central Plains, and to end the situation that the Mengtar tribe had been wandering in the grasslands for thousands of years.

It is precisely because of the ambition of this Mongolian Great Khan that now, the situation in the northern border is very tense.

However, Liu Fang had already taken precautions against Mengda, not only it, but also other small countries. Although they are very quiet now, Liu Fang knows that they have been waiting for an opportunity to divide up the opportunity of Da Wei.

The reason why Liu Fang did not raise troops directly, but chose to enter the palace as the queen, was also for the current situation.

Once the Great Wei falls into war, the common people will be the first to suffer, and secondly, other neighboring countries will also look at it, thinking about how to benefit from it, and even assemble the army to join in. In this way, the entire Great Wei is really over. Even if Liu Fang wins in the end, the country will become a scorched earth because of the war, with people everywhere.

Liu Fang did not want such a result, nor did she want to see the people suffer, so she would rather marry into the palace and become the empress of Emperor Wei Cheng. Taking advantage of the natural superiority of the identity, with a powerful gesture, to suppress everyone.

But she also understands that what she does has touched the interests of many people. Now everything she does is for the benefit of the country and the people. The reputation she has gained among the people, plus the stability of the frontier, is what makes these people's ambitions. Give it a press.

But as long as she shows a little bit of defeat, they will definitely go to the hungry wolf and smash the tiger directly to shred Liu Fang!

Therefore, Liu Fang is now waiting to see if this battle in Northern Xinjiang can shock them.
