Chapter 1168 "The Law of Daqian"
She was thinking about him.
I miss him terribly.
She wanted to know where he was now.
I want to know if he's eating on time.
I want to know if he sleeps well at night.
She wanted to know if he was thinking of her the way she was thinking of him.
This longing is a sweet torment.
It made her heart feel both bittersweet and filled with an indescribable sense of happiness.
She knew she couldn't continue to be so depressed.
He fought valiantly for this country on the front lines.
She had to stay home and protect the family for him.
She couldn't let him have any worries.
She wanted him to be there when he returned in triumph.
He witnessed a more prosperous and powerful Great Qian Dynasty than when he left!
Think of this.
The light in Murong Yan's eyes had dimmed somewhat due to longing.
In an instant, it was replaced by a kind of unwavering determination and resolve belonging to an emperor!
She stood up.
They arrived at the mountain of memorials.
He began to devote himself wholeheartedly to governing this vast empire.
Lin Zhen's departure was a huge emotional test for her.
It was also a once-in-a-lifetime political opportunity.
Lin Zhen was there in the past.
A lot of tricky, dirty, and tiring work.
He took on all the responsibility himself.
All she had to do was sit backstage and act as a nodding mascot.
Although it was easy.
But it also deprived her of some of the most valuable lessons that an emperor could learn.
But now Lin Zhen is gone.
All the problems, all the pressure.
She has to face and bear all of this alone.
This is undoubtedly a huge challenge.
But it also gave her a real opportunity to lead the country independently!
She wants to prove it to the whole world.
She, Murong Yan, was not only the wife of Regent Lin Zhen.
She was an emperor of all time, worthy of standing shoulder to shoulder with him!
since that day.
The entire court of the Great Qian Dynasty felt an unprecedented change.
Their young and stunningly beautiful empress.
It was as if they had been reborn overnight.
She became even more diligent in her duties than before.
He would appear in the Taiji Hall before dawn every day.
He was still reviewing memorials in the Zichen Hall late into the night.
She became more decisive than before.
For those corrupt officials and incompetent officials who fail to perform their duties.
She showed no mercy, killing those who deserved to be killed and demoting those who deserved to be demoted.
For those talented and ambitious individuals from humble backgrounds.
She promoted him exceptionally and entrusted him with important responsibilities.
She also personally oversaw the drafting of the first complete legal code in the history of the Great Qian Dynasty.
"Da Qian Lv".
The idea that princes should be punished the same as commoners when they break the law.
This was established in law for the first time.
She even built upon the scattered ideas that Lin Zhen had left behind before he left.
It established the first universal education system in the history of the Great Qian Dynasty.
And a universal healthcare system.
Under her iron-fisted rule and benevolent influence.
The entire Great Qian Dynasty did not descend into chaos due to Lin Zhen's departure.
Instead, it unleashed an unprecedented cohesion and centripetal force!
The whole country is like a precision machine that's been fully fueled.
It began to operate at an unprecedented speed!
All the civil and military officials were completely impressed by the amazing political skills and foresight displayed by their Empress.
They finally admitted it wholeheartedly.
This young empress certainly possesses governing talent no less than that of the regent!
She and the Regent were the most dazzling and lucky twin stars of the Great Qian Dynasty!
At this moment, Murong Yan was sitting behind the imperial desk in Qifeng Pavilion.
He was reviewing the last memorial from the Ministry of Revenue.
The sky outside the window was already filled with stars.
She was still wearing the Phoenix Descent Dress, which was her only nightgown.
But this dress, which had witnessed countless moments of her languidness and charm, is now gone.
But now it is because of its owner's diligence day and night.
It appeared exceptionally solemn and dignified.
The deep black Suzhou brocade base material seemed to transform into a profound starry sky under the bright candlelight in the dead of night.
It is full of infinite wisdom and mystery.
The giant phoenix embroidered with real gold thread seemed to have become one with its owner.
His phoenix eyes gleamed with an all-knowing wisdom.
The five-zhang-long, dark gold Suzhou brocade train flowed quietly from behind her chair and piled up on the cold gold brick floor.
The opulent disorder revealed a sense of loneliness and fortitude belonging to a mature emperor.
at this time.
A young eunuch carried in a bowl of steaming ginseng soup.
"Your Majesty, it is late at night."
"You should rest now."
Murong Yan did not look up.
He simply gave a faint reply.
"Leave it there."
However, the young eunuch did not leave.
Instead, he walked up behind her.
Then she used a gentle technique that she knew all too well.
He gently massaged her shoulders, which were stiff from sitting at her desk for a long time.
Murong Yan's body suddenly stiffened!
She suddenly turned her head!
A familiar smiling face that she longed for day and night.
Then it came into her view!
......
"Husband...husband?!"
Murong Yan looked at the smiling face in front of her that was all too familiar.
Everyone was dumbfounded.
She thought she was dreaming.
She reached out, wanting to touch the face she had longed for day and night.
But they dared not.
I'm afraid that if I touch this beautiful dream, it will shatter.
"Silly girl, don't you recognize me?"
Lin Zhen looked at her adorable, dazed expression.
He smiled and pulled her into his arms.
That familiar, warm embrace.
That familiar, comforting scent.
Murong Yan realized this in an instant.
This is not a dream!
He's really back!
"You...you weren't on an expedition?!"
"How...how could you suddenly come back?!"
Her voice was filled with incredible surprise.
"I missed you, so I came back."
Lin Zhen buried his face deeply in the crook of her neck.
He greedily inhaled the familiar orchid scent that he had longed for for more than three months.
His voice was so hoarse it was unrecognizable.
"Liar!"
Murong Yan felt as sweet as if she had eaten honey.
But reason told her otherwise.
Things are not that simple.
He is the commander-in-chief of the three armed forces.
How could he possibly leave his post and run back without permission just because he misses her?
Something must have happened that she was unaware of!
The thought of this.
Her heart leaped into her throat again.
"My husband, tell me quickly!"
"What happened?!"
"Has something happened at the front?!"
Her voice was filled with undisguised tension and worry.
"Don't worry, my silly girl."
Lin Zhen smiled and pinched her cheek when she saw her nervous expression.
"It's not a bad thing."
"On the contrary, it's a fantastic thing!"
"Good thing?"
Murong Yan looked puzzled.
"Yes."
Lin Zhen nodded.
Then he told her the whole story.
original.
Just as he led the Shenji Battalion, having traveled day and night, they arrived at Yumen Pass.
Then came news that he hadn't expected.
The army of the "Rakshasa Kingdom" that had been swaggering across the northern grasslands.
They mysteriously withdrew overnight!
And they didn't even say hello.
They disappeared without a trace.
It was as if they had never been there.
This sudden change.
It left everyone completely baffled.
Even Lin Zhen himself was completely baffled.
He dispatched his most elite scouts.
They pursued the case northward for hundreds of miles.
Finally, the truth was learned from some grassland herders who had been captured by the "Rakshasa demons".
original.
Not long ago.
That so-called "Rakshasa Kingdom" was their rear base.
A fierce battle for the throne suddenly broke out.
Their old Tsar died suddenly.
His two sons fought fiercely for the throne.
The entire "Rakshasa Kingdom" was plunged into internal strife.
And that great army that marched to the northern desert.
Their commander was none other than the old Tsar's eldest son.
After learning of the earth-shattering changes in the country.
How could he possibly care about expanding his territory in the northern desert?
Naturally, he immediately led his elite army.
He rushed back to China in a great hurry to seize the supreme throne!
"Just...that simple?"
Murong Yan listened to Lin Zhen's account.
I was at a loss for words, both laughing and crying.
It never occurred to her.
This was a huge crisis that made them feel like they were facing a formidable enemy, even to the point of sending out their elite Shenji Battalion.
It's unbelievable that it vanished without a trace in such a dramatic way.
"It's that simple."
Lin Zhen also looked helpless.
"I was originally thinking of going to the icy north."
"Let's have a good meeting with those so-called 'Rakshasa demons'."
"I never expected that their own courtyard would catch fire one after another."
"What about the Divine Machine Battalion?"
