After I traveled through the book, I was spoiled by five little villains

After returning to the capital, Yan Shiyan continued to work in the Dali Temple.

Yan Shouzhuo inherited the title of Duke Zhenguo, but his military achievements were far from enough to bring glory to his family.

After discussing this with Qin Yaoguang, he planned to go to the northern border to inherit the Yan Army after the coming-of-age ceremony, and Qin Yaoguang agreed.

Yan Jinyin maintained correspondence with Yumen Pass and continued compiling medical books.

Qu Liang took Yan Jinyang with him, planning to travel after the Spring Festival, working as a traveling doctor and seeing all kinds of difficult and complicated diseases.

He has always believed that medical skills cannot be developed behind closed doors.

Simply reading the medical books left by our predecessors and seeing it with your own eyes are two different things.

The older a doctor gets, the more skilled he becomes, precisely because he has accumulated enough experience.

The capital city is thriving.

The six new ministries were established at the right time to recruit people.

After Zhao Yuchuan was rewarded, he was appointed as a Deputy Director of the Ministry of War. To his delight, the Marquis Wenxin's Mansion held a three-day banquet to celebrate. The old lady of the mansion went to the palace to present the Empress Dowager with the treasures collected in the mansion to express her gratitude to the new emperor.

After Prince Yi's property was divided up, the inner treasury and the previous eldest princess' property were all managed by Shuangjiang.

Qin Yaoguang recalled Su Diya from the border and put her in charge of the Silk Road United Commune.

He ordered Qin Ying to take over Su Diya's position, and after Qin Li expressed her willingness to go to the border, he asked her to become Qin Ying's assistant.

In addition, a commercial tax office was established under the Ministry of Revenue, and Madam Wang was appointed as the imperial merchant to lead merchants throughout the country.

All the details, with countless connections, gradually became clear after passing through Qin Yaoguang's hands.

All the ministers had no choice but to support her as the empress at the beginning, but now they are wholeheartedly convinced.

In the blink of an eye, it was cold winter.

It's snowing heavily.

The floor heating in the bedroom was burning very high. Qin Yaoguang was only wearing a light soft robe and was half leaning on Yan Changqing to read the memorials.

After these days of treatment, the physical weakness that had lingered in Qin Yaoguang's body for thirty years has been completely cured, and he no longer feels cold in his hands and feet.

They both sat on the Arhat couch. Yan Changqing held her with one arm and used the other hand to gently massage the acupuncture points on her head.

Thinking was an exhausting task, and he just wanted to lighten her burden.

Others saw her making it look easy, but he knew how much effort she put in behind the scenes.

What Qin Yaoguang was reading at this time was the report sent back from southern Xinjiang.

Since she ascended the throne, she required all provincial governors to not only report on their own work, but also to report on local customs, people, crops, etc. on a monthly basis. The more detailed the better.

Over time, the officials got to know her preferences and knew that she was interested in new crops.

So far, she has found three high-yield crops: corn, potatoes, and sweet potatoes. She plans to have them planted on a small scale at Sinong Temple in the spring of next year, and then promote them nationwide.

Qin Yaoguang has confidence in these proven crops.

In an agricultural society, having enough food is the first priority.

People eat for food.

"Your Majesty, the Third Prince is here."

After Qin Yaoguang ascended the throne, two of her five children became nephews and one became a niece, leaving only Yan Shiyan and Yan Jinyang who still called her mother.

Today, everyone knows their origins.

Qin Yaoguang retained their ranking and did not change their surnames, so naturally, they became the Third Prince and the Fifth Prince.

The third prince is Yan Shiyan.

"Let him in."

Qin Yaoguang sat up straight and put the letter on the table. Yan Changqing walked to the side and sat down on a chair.

"Your Highness, I pay my respects to you, Your Majesty."

Yan Shiyan bowed politely, and when he raised his head, the boy's clear eyes were filled with joy that could not be concealed.

"Get up quickly, is there any good news?" Qin Yaoguang asked with a smile.

"I heard that Lord Suo took advantage of the winter to send troops and won a great victory. I guess the victory report will arrive soon."

He heard the news at the Ministry of War, but as there was no official document yet, he did not report it for the sake of caution.

Wanting to make his mother happy, Yan Shiyan hurried to tell her.

"That's really good news."

Yan Changqing nodded and said, "Fighting in winter is not easy. Lord Suo is a master at using troops."

In Hexi in northern Xinjiang, the conditions are difficult and the climate is harsh, especially in winter when water freezes into ice.

Not to mention fighting, even marching is difficult.

Usually, even nomadic peoples who are good at fighting will rest and recuperate in the winter. After collecting enough food, cats will spend the winter in one place.

Everyone thought that there would be no fighting and the raid would be successful.

The hardships involved are hard to describe.

Suojibu's success was due to his unquestionable military talent.

"Once Hexi can be completely recovered, my United Commune can function at full capacity."

Qin Yaoguang had never thought of becoming an empress, but she now discovered that sitting in this position, she could do much more than when she was the eldest princess.

You can do whatever you think of, and it's justified.

"Your Majesty has a far-sighted vision."

Yan Shiyan's eyes sparkled as he spoke from the bottom of his heart.

Qin Yaoguang laughed: "Brother Yan, why are you singing praises like them?"

“Motherhood is worth it.”

Yan Shiyan sat upright and brought up another matter: "Mother, do you still remember Miss Zhou?"

Zhou Qinghe?

She almost forgot about this person.

Qin Yaoguang nodded and asked, "What's wrong with her?"

"When I was collecting the files, I saw that she was convicted of murder and treason and was exiled 3,000 miles to Qiongzhou."

Yan Shiyan said: "On the way to exile, she tried to bribe the officials, but failed and ran away without permission, breaking into a den of thieves. When the officials found her, she was already dead."

Having said that, he pursed his lips.

"What's wrong?" Qin Yaoguang asked.

"When I was discovered..."

Yan Shiyan hesitated for a moment, then continued, "Her clothes were disheveled, and she had obviously been violated. She was stabbed seven or eight times, and the cause of death was a fatal wound on her neck."

Zhou Qinghe was an accomplice in treason, so her whereabouts must be found alive or dead. The officials wrote the events in such detail in order to avoid being investigated for dereliction of duty.

"Coincidentally, that den of thieves was the rebels who had failed in their rebellion and occupied a hilltop to cause chaos. After being discovered by the escorting officials, they reported it to the local government, and troops were sent out to suppress them."

After hearing this, Qin Yaoguang was slightly stunned.

Unexpectedly, the heroine of the original book died at a place she didn't know when she didn't know.

And he died in such a miserable way, it was worthless.

If Yan Shiyan hadn't seen her accidentally, she would have just become a page in the Dali Temple's file.

Such a trivial matter would never come to Qin Yaoguang's desk.

Yan Shiyan came to tell her specifically because Zhou Qinghe was openly nice to them but secretly instigated discord between them when they were at the Princess's Mansion.

He hated evil and felt happy when he saw Zhou Qinghe's end.

Qin Yaoguang recalled the plot of the original book. From another perspective, although Zhou Qinghe had poor personal ethics, she never accepted her fate. She was still struggling before her death, trying to find a way to survive.

Perhaps because of the time travel, she thinks she is the girl of destiny and refuses to admit defeat.

However, it doesn't matter what she thinks.

Qin Yaoguang just sighed slightly and let her go.
