Only seven days left to live? She goes crazy and kills

In the late autumn of the fourth year of Fengwu, the empress gave birth to the eldest son, named Chengze.

Chengze learned literature at the age of three and martial arts at the age of four. There were six teachers in the palace, one Taifu, and one master for each of the six arts of a gentleman, who were responsible for teaching Chengze and training him completely according to the standards of a crown prince.

Her Majesty the empress and the emperor's husband worked together to manage the government, and the power of the Yong Dynasty became increasingly prosperous.

In March of the fifth year of Fengwu, the empress issued an order to change Nanling Shangjing to Nanling City, and ordered Xiao Nanfeng to be the King of Nanling, to govern the fiefdom of Nanling City, punish corrupt officials, reduce taxes, and fully develop people's livelihood.

In the sixth year of Fengwu, Taifu Qi resigned.

In July of the same year, Taifu Qi Jinhao, the grandson of Taifu Qi, was transferred to the Ministry of Households and served as the left assistant minister-it was only six years since he was reused by the empress.

Three years of being sent out as an official made him fully realize the importance of people's livelihood and accumulated a lot of political achievements. These laid a solid foundation for him to work hard in the court and do everything well later.

Although Qi Fangfei was a woman, she assisted the empress in handling court affairs with great care and was low-key and cautious. She rejected more than a dozen marriage proposals in six years. It was not until she was 22 years old that she married the 28-year-old Gu Chiran under the marriage arrangement of Yan Donghuang.

"Chiran has always admired you, and you also have feelings for Chiran. I have seen it in the past few years, but I have never said it, thinking that you can figure it out yourself." When Yan Donghuang said this, his tone was gentle, as if he regarded her as his sister, "I have also seen your performance in the court over the years, but I have more important tasks for you."

Qi Fangfei nodded: "Your Majesty is worried and ordered, and I will do it."

"I want to send Gu Chiran to Qicheng to be responsible for the breeding of war horses there." Yan Donghuang said, "But he is unfamiliar with the place and needs a period of adaptation. I want you to go with him."

Qicheng was the former capital of Northern Qi. Two years ago, Yan Donghuang ordered it to be changed to Qicheng, which is homophonic with "riding".

Qi Fangfei knelt down: "I obey your order."

"Fangfei, I understand your ambitions, so Gu Chiran has promised that he will never let you be a good wife. You support each other and make decisions together on Qicheng. I can give you a year to get used to it." Yan Donghuang said, "If you want to come back after a year, I will leave you a position as a political advisor in the Imperial Study."

Political advisor in the Imperial Study, a fifth-rank official.

This is a height that many men in the court cannot reach at this age.

Qi Fangfei thanked him solemnly and said that she would never let down His Majesty.

She knew this was an opportunity to gain experience.

She saw another side of the capital, her horizons were broadened, her abilities were exercised, and she could see different folk customs.

At the same time, she also had enough time to think about major events in her life.

For a woman to be an official in the court is a manifestation of her ability. Because of the oppression of the system, she always thought that only if she did not get married and had no children could she compete with men of the same age and make herself so strong that no one dared to despise her.

But as she grew older, she realized that true strength is psychological strength, the right to freely choose different lives, the freedom to not marry if she doesn't want to, the freedom to stay together until old age if she meets a like-minded person, and the freedom to divorce at any time before hatred arises if the relationship between husband and wife fades.

These are far from what women of this era can do. The fact that she can do these now already means her own transformation.

And there is still a long way to go, and she may experience more different lives. There is no need to confine herself to a fixed path in advance.

In the first month of the seventh year of Fengwu, Yan Donghuang ordered Gu Chiran and Qi Fangfei to go to Qicheng to take office, assist in horse farm affairs, learn warhorse breeding techniques from officials appointed by the Queen of Northern Qi, and only provide warhorse supply for the Yong Dynasty's royal army in the future.

After the legal system promulgated by the court was gradually improved, the empress ordered that local people and new people should be treated equally, without discrimination, without harsh treatment, with the same rules and laws, and the same grace.

The Yong Dynasty became stronger year after year, and the world paid attention.
