Happiness Consist in Contentment

"Heh." Emperor Wen of Jin smiled, "You have committed treason, but none of them died, but all of them are still alive? Not even the palace servants were implicated?"

The eldest princess remained indifferent and replied calmly, "No."

Emperor Wen of Jin threw away the chess piece in his hand and turned to look at her fixedly, "Is this what you mean?"

The eldest princess looked back lightly, "Yes."

Emperor Wen of Jin stared at her closely, imposingly, "So, what should we do next?"

The eldest princess replied calmly: "No need to deal with it."

Emperor Wen of Jin's eyes widened, "No need to deal with it? Did you do nothing after tossing so much?"

The eldest princess shook her head, looked at Emperor Jin Wen steadily, and said in a cold voice, "No."

Emperor Wen of Jin understood, he laughed, leaning on his knees and laughing, leaning back and forth, utterly gaffe.

"Okay! As expected of my daughter! You have the courage!"

He smiled and asked the eldest princess, "Aren't you afraid they will toss again in the future?"

The eldest princess was very calm: "Then let's fight again."

Emperor Wen of Jin smiled, "Okay, it's up to you."

After that, he turned around and said, "Come and play chess with Dad."

The eldest princess had a rare smile on her indifferent face, and said with a slight smile, "Okay."

Jin Wendi's eyes were hot and wet, and he looked at his daughter who came to sit down opposite. In a trance, he remembered that year, the Lantern Festival Palace Banquet, when he was still young, he saw her in a red dress at a glance!

The red is warm and the red is dazzling!

It seems that in the whole world, she is the only one standing alone!

Let him fall into his heart and never forget it again!

...

On the eleventh day of the first month of the twenty-first year of Jinwen, Emperor Wen of Jin abdicated and passed the throne to his eldest daughter, Princess Zhaoying.

Since then, the Jin Dynasty has entered a new era!

...

When Liu Fang woke up, she only felt in a trance, as if the whole world had been replaced!

Emperor Wen of Jin decreed his abdication after one night, and the eldest princess suddenly became the empress.

That's all, but Liu Guogong's mansion suddenly turned upside down: sisters-in-law and sisters suddenly became members of the special women's army led by the empress, Huang Lingjun, and all brothers and sisters-in-law seem to know, Not surprising.

Liu Fang immediately rode back to Liu Guogong's mansion.

The servant at the gate saw that the eighteen girls were returning to the mansion, or came in a hurry on horseback, and hurriedly opened the corner gate, respectfully.

He led the horse in front of the ground and welcomed her into the door.

Liu Fang hurried into the mansion, walking in a hurry, turning a blind eye to the servants who were saluting respectfully in the mansion along the way, with a serious face.

In the main courtyard, Mrs. Liu Guogong sat on the soft couch and waited to make tea. She said to Cui Ru, who came to report, "There is no need to report again. When Xiao Shiba comes over, let her come in directly."

"Here."

When Liu Fang walked into the main courtyard with an unsteady breath, and stepped into the warm pavilion, Mrs. Liu Guogong just poured two cups of tea.

"Come on, sit down. I just made tea, and knowing that you don't like strong tea, I took the freshly bought clear tea from the house. Would you like to try it?"

Liu Fang looked at Mrs. Liu Guogong's calm and leisurely appearance, and her heart was mixed.

What the **** happened last night? What happened to her mother? And sisters, how are they now?

All of this made her in the outer city know nothing and say nothing. Even now, she is still full of worries.

It wasn't until she saw her first-mother that she really relaxed.

But at the same time, she felt wronged: she also wanted to help, but her family just wanted to hide it from her! (︶︿︶)

This feeling is really uncomfortable.

Liu Fang knelt down beside Mrs. Liu Guogong, couldn't help hugging her, buried in her arm and wept silently.

"Mother... I, I'm really scared!"

Mrs. Liu Guogong silently raised her hand and stroked her hair, quietly letting her cry.

When her emotions were completely calmed down, Mrs. Liu Guogong said quietly: "Drink tea, it's cold."

"Um."

Liu Fang didn't ask much. Since she is a relative, she doesn't need to ask much about many things, as long as they are all safe and sound.

Therefore, Liu Fang only drank a cup of tea in Liu Guogong's mansion before returning to the mansion.

Yang An was waiting at home. When she saw her coming back, she hurried forward to lead the horse for her, helped her down, and asked, "How's it going? Mother-in-law, are they okay?"

Liu Fang nodded, "It's all good. Mother is still in the mood to make tea for me."

Yang An breathed a sigh of relief, and while holding the horse into the mansion, he took her hand and walked inside: "In this case, you can rest assured. The mother-in-law can make tea in the mood, presumably everything in the mansion is fine. Everyone is safe and sound. ."

Liu Fang nodded in agreement.

She looked up at the sky and said, "The weather is really nice today!"

Yang An looked up and saw that the sun was shining brightly, with white clouds and blue sky. It was indeed a good weather.

...

After the female emperor ascended the throne, the whole scene of the Jin Dynasty took on a new look!

First of all, the Empress did not agree with what happened on the tenth night.

Not investigating, only burying all the facts, but not preventing the historians from recording the truth.

I only made a decree: when I was alive, I didn't need to let the world know about it. When someone discovers it in the future, it will be judged by later generations.

Secondly, the Empress reformed the system of recruiting officials, and also revised the laws of the Jin Dynasty with great efforts, and also gave great support to merchants and craftsmen.

Finally, above the imperial court, there are many more female officials related to Liu Guogong's mansion! Many unknown acts of corruption were also found, so the entire court was completely overturned in an instant!

For example, the eldest sister An Su, she became the Minister of the Household directly: the original Minister of the Household, I'm sorry, corrupt, collaborating with the enemy and all kinds of ghosts, enough to loot the family and destroy the family.

Fortunately, the empress first refined the law, and only committed crimes, and did not implicate innocent people. It's just a matter of looting a home, it's definitely inevitable. After all, it's impossible to recover all the illegal income related to corruption during the tenure of the Minister of Household.

The fifth sister, An Fei, was thrown into the Ministry of Punishment. Although she was not a minister, she was a special envoy directly under the empress. She specially assisted the Dali Temple in investigating and handling all the personnel of the six ministries of the imperial court as well as the Zongren Mansion, the Ministry of Internal Affairs and other state agencies.

- Who asked her to tell Prince An about the tenth day of the first day, and then Prince An was mean-spirited and ran to the Fourth Prince to scoff, and then the Empress found out.

Being cheated by her husband, there is no way out. ╮(︶﹏︶)╭

The second sister, An Ying, took over the defense of Miyagi, the third sister, An Yun, became the secretary who followed the empress, the fourth sister, An Fu, entered the Ministry of Personnel; The elder sister Anfen entered the military division of the five cities, and the ninth elder sister An Rong entered the Honglu Temple and became the head of the Honglu Temple.

The tenth elder sister An Ying joined the Ministry of Works, the eleventh elder sister An Ru joined the Imperial Army as a commander, the twelfth elder sister An Xuan joined the Rites and became a servant, and the thirteenth elder sister An Ming joined the censor’s desk and became the censor. The fourteenth sister, An Li, and the fifteenth sister, An Yin, became the close guards beside the Empress.

The most unexpected thing for Liu Fang was that the sixteenth sister, An Qian, went to the Kyoto government office and became a member of the government reserve.

As for the Seventeenth Sister, An He, she still stayed in the Huangling Army, but she was also a serious female general and had no time to wander around.

Looking at it this way, more than half of the entire court was born in Liu Guogong's mansion!

After all, Liu Fang has twenty-two older brothers, as well as brothers-in-law.

It really surprised Liu Fang: she never knew that her brothers and sisters were so powerful!

For a time, Liu Guogong's mansion became a hot spot in Beijing.

The upstart with hot hands: The empress trusts Liu Guogong's mansion very much!

Liu Guogong's mansion also suddenly opened up, and it was very busy with traffic every day.

But Mrs. Liu Guogong was very annoyed, and directly screwed Liu Guogong's ear and asked him to write a memorial, leaving the Duke's title to the heir to inherit, and the couple ran around the world with a lot of money.

Liu Fang: …

Alright, my mother-in-law has worked hard for most of her life, so it's time to be chic and unrestrained.

In this way, Liu Fang and her brothers and sisters stayed in the capital, watching how the Empress gradually governed the Jin Dynasty, which still had male superiority and inferiority between women A prosperous and powerful country!

In just six years, Liu Fang gave birth to children, took care of housework, and lived a peaceful, warm, happy and happy life with her husband Yang An.

In the entire Jin Dynasty, there were women's schools, military academies, technical colleges, and women's imperial examinations, and more men accepted women's positions as officials, women came out to work, and women could be self-reliant...

Even the common people, in remote farmers' homes, do not have such a preference for girls in the past. At least, there is no such thing as a girl who was drowned as soon as she was born.

The laws of the Jin Dynasty, with the promotion and attention of the empress, people nowadays are more and more accustomed to going to the yamen when they have something to do, and they are talking to the adults who are officials.

This is similar to finding the police when something happens in the future. (-^〇^-)

With the popularization of the law, the people of the entire Jin Dynasty gradually improved in terms of etiquette and morality...

Every time Liu Fang goes out, she is quite emotional: Perhaps, in the eyes of the aunt and the others, what they once longed for is the present world!

It is said that the Empress is pushing for the abolition of the slave system recently, and it may not be long before Shumo and the others will be able to live more freely!

What a great time!

Liu Fang also finally understood the unwillingness of her first-born mother: she was not for her own glory, wealth, or fame, she just wanted to fight against the unfair world, and wanted to tell the world—

A woman is never a dodder or a canary.

Women are phoenixes!

Can withstand the fire and nirvana, can withstand violent storms, and can even fight against this world!

Women are never weak!

Those men who imagine women to be weak and force them to give up their ego and put them in cages at the mercy of them are actually the biggest weak ones!

Liu Fang looks at

The women walking freely on the street sat on the carriage with bright smiles.

Yang An now runs an enlightenment school at home. It doesn't admit many students, and she is very leisurely on weekdays, so she often accompanies Liu Fang when she goes out.

Seeing her smiling happily, Yang An asked, "Do you like going out so much?"

Liu Fang nodded, "Look, there are more and more girls on the street now. In the past, there weren't that many."

Yang An smiled, "When the Empress is on the throne, it is naturally different."

Liu Fang turned to look at him, "What if the Empress is gone? Could it be the same as before, or even worse?"

Yang An shook his head, "No. The Empress is still very young!"

Liu Fang smiled. Indeed, the Empress is only forty now, she is still very young!

"By the way, mother and father are going back to Beijing. After all, they are also getting old, and it's not good to always be wandering outside. Big brother has gone to pick up people in person..."

☆, 24 other types of contentment and happiness to wear

Mrs. Liu Guogong, oh no, it should be Mrs. Liu Guogong now.

Mrs. Liu Guogong was sitting in the carriage. Her hair was already gray and her face was wrinkled. She looked at the village street outside the car window and was full of emotion.

Yunying, the Empress did it, we did it!

Look how good it is now!

A satisfied smile appeared on the old lady's face.

Liu Guoan Geng said, "Mother is very happy?"

The old lady nodded, "Well, I'm very happy."

An Geng smiled slightly.

But the old man said, "When is your mother unhappy? You don't ask me if I'm happy or not."

An Geng had no choice but to ask, "Father, are you happy?"

The old man turned his head and said, "It's not sincere, it's too perfunctory."

An Geng: …

The old lady glared at him angrily, "Okay, you are so old, and you still like to play tricks on children, calm down."

"Why don't I stop..."

The old man's indignant voice came out of the carriage, until the motorcade gradually moved away...

Liu Fang went back to the Duke's Mansion, attended a family banquet, and washed the dust for his mother and father.

However, the old lady was not moved by the warm thoughts. Looking at the family gathered together, she only felt that she was panicking: There are too many people!

A few days later, the family went to ask An to visit, and the old lady also sighed: "When your father took a concubine, I should have stopped it, and even if I didn't stop it, I shouldn't let the house have so many children.

Well now, I have to see my son, daughter, and grandchildren for more than a month when I come to the family one day. "

Liu Fang and others: ...Okay, if you are happy, mother.

"However," the old lady smiled kindly and said, "Looking at them, I seem to have seen you when you were young, so nice, so nice!"

Liu Fang looked at her gradually aging face, her eyes were hot and humid.

This is the bloodline, this is the inheritance: generation after generation, never resting...

The Empress reigned for 40 years. Liu Fang's first-mother, the old lady of Liu Guogong's mansion, later became an old lady, and she lived to more than eighty years, nearly ninety years old, witnessing the era of a whole Empress, and the successor to the throne. A female emperor - Emperor Xuan of Jin.

The old lady sent away the old prince and all the concubines, and when she left, Liu Fang cried and almost turned her back.

The old lady still has the strength to roll her eyes. She is already very thin and weak, but she is still the same

She is soft at heart and tough on the outside.

"Why are you crying? There will always be such a day. Good boy, you are not too young, don't let the juniors laugh at you..."

"Mother..." Liu Fang took her mother's hand and choked up.

The mother-in-law looked at the eldest son who had gray hair, the current Liu Guoan An Geng, "Mother is gone. In the future, as the eldest brother, you should take good care of your younger brothers and sisters, and don't let them be wronged.

Also, our family is already rich and honorable enough. In the future, they can do whatever they like, as long as they don't violate the law, don't betray the country and join the enemy, let them do it.

It's good to be a rich and idle person all your life. "

An Geng nodded with red eyes, "Well, my son wrote it down."

The old lady looked at An Su on the side and said, "It's the same with your sisters, if you should retire, you should retire. After so many years of hard work, it's time to take a break."

Ansu nodded tearfully, "Yes, mother."

The old lady looked at the neat and tidy house of children and said with a smile: "In this life, what I am most proud of is raising you! After I leave, my things will be distributed with you. What do you do? Happy, how to divide."

Everyone respectfully bowed: "Here!"

Everyone's tears couldn't stop, but the old lady's voice became softer and softer, "There are too many people, there is not enough time for one person to explain.

After so many years, I have said everything that should be said, you guys are fine...then...it's...good..."

"Mother!"

Everyone was crying in grief, and the grandchildren and servants who were guarding outside were also crying...

The Taijun of Liu Guogong's mansion, the wife of Yipin Guogong, became the prince's mansion Jiarong County Lord, this life ended, at the age of eighty-five.

When Emperor Xuan of Jin learned about it, he specially named her as the eldest princess of Jiarong, and was buried under the rules of the eldest princess!

The funeral was extremely grand, but Liu Fang fell ill directly after the funeral, and it took three months to fully recover from the grief of the death of her first mother.

At this time, Liu Fang's brothers and sisters all resigned on the grounds of their mother's death.

Seventeenth sister An He also ran over and said to Liu Fang, "I've been impatient to lead troops for a long time. If it wasn't for the trust of the late emperor, I really couldn't bear to stay in Kyoto for so long..."

The younger brother An Qing also had a relaxed expression on his face, "Okay, I can finally travel to the arena! After so many years, I've been suffocated to death..."

Fifth sister An Fei scolded him, "Are you still running? You are so old, you are already a grandfather, and you still want to travel around the rivers and lakes? You are enough!"

"Who said I couldn't run? Fifth sister, why don't we compare the two?

Than, see who can run faster? "

"Che, I'm not going to compare with you. It's better to compare marksmanship than Qinggong, how about it? Let's learn from each other?"

Anqing turned his head, "No."

An Fei contemptuously said, "Cowardly."

An Qing glared at her, "If you have the ability, compare yourself with the elder sister!"

An Fei shut up and immediately became quiet like a chicken.

Liu Fang and others present:…

The second sister, An Ying, said, "Then let's go together. It's fine in Beijing anyway."

Everyone's eyes lit up, yes, they can go together, they don't even need to bring guards, it is enough for their brothers and sisters to bring their respective wives (husbands)!

"Okay, then let's go for a walk."

The elder brother An Geng nodded in agreement, and the others had no opinion.

In this way, forty brothers and sisters traveled out of Beijing together.

All those with titles on their bodies gave a memorial to Emperor Xuan of Jin, passed on the titles to their sons, and then ran away with all their burdens. As for the others, it's easier, just go home, pack up, and drive out of Beijing in a carriage.

Liu Fang also became a grandmother, and left everything at home to her son, daughter-in-law, and daughter-in-law. She took Yang An to pack a burden and ran away.

Although Yang An was helpless, he still accepted his fate as a coachman, and drove the carriage with his wife all the way out of Beijing to meet with his uncles and sisters-in-law.

A group of hundreds of people walked away like this, and they didn't return to Beijing until they passed away.

In this life, Yang An has only been a scholar. But he is outstanding in calligraphy and painting, especially after middle age, he created a new font and style of painting, and is respected by the world as a great Confucian.

And his Enlightenment School has always been open, and it has always only been the enlightenment of young children, regardless of status, high or low background, and of course no distinction between males and females.

Although Liu Fang has always been a talented wife all her life, she has a strong family to rely on, a group of loving family to back her up, and a husband who keeps her promise and loves her all her life, smart and filial children.

In this life, she gave birth to four sons and two daughters, and when she was old, she was full of children and grandchildren, and she was rich and wealthy.

When her life ended and she said goodbye to Yang An, who was already a bad old man, she was still a little dazed when she returned to the underworld.

Liu Fang successfully completed this task and obtained five merits.
