Chapter 1280 Daqian Dynasty!
September 15th, Ye Mansion, Yijing
Murong Qingwu was checking her daughter Ye Kexin's homework. During dinner last night, Murong Qingwu suddenly realized that since she became pregnant, she had been focusing a lot of energy on her son, and her attention to her eldest daughter Ye Kexin had decreased.
This also made Murong Qingwu feel a little guilty towards her daughter, so Murong Qingwu decided to treat her two children fairly and not favor one over the other.
"Ke Xin, what did Mr. Deng ask you to preview yesterday?"
Ke Xin blinked and said:
"Mr. Deng asked Brother Jingxuan and I to prepare for the "Leaving the Imperial Army" lesson!"
"Have you prepared yet?"
"Mother! I memorized the first paragraph last night!"
Ke Xin looked a little unconfident at the end, and after a moment of hesitation, she said softly:
"I had planned to memorize the entire "Departure to the Imperial Academy" last night, but I was so sleepy that I fell asleep, so I only memorized the first paragraph!"
Murong Qingwu laughed dumbly upon hearing this, touched Ke Xin's head and said softly:
"It doesn't matter. It's good enough that Ke Xin was able to memorize the first paragraph last night!"
Ke Xin heard this and said seriously:
"Mother, I will definitely memorize the "Departure to the Imperial Academy" today!"
Murong Qingwu smiled and nodded slightly to encourage:
"Mom believes that you can do it, Ke Xin!"
With her mother's encouragement, a smile appeared on Ke Xin's little face, and she began to recite the "The Memorial to the Emperor on Leaving the Capital" seriously.
“The late emperor died before he could complete his career. Today, the three kingdoms of Yizhou are exhausted. This is truly a critical moment for survival...”
Looking at Ke Xin reciting seriously, Murong Yuliang appeared calm on the surface, but his heart was very complicated.
She saw her own shadow in her daughter. Although the Murong family was a prominent family, they were still very traditional in educating their children. They believed that a woman's virtue lay in her lack of talent and that it was enough for girls to learn to read and there was no need for them to learn too much knowledge.
However, Murong Qingwu, who was waiting to be married at the time, was more rebellious. She was dissatisfied with her family's contempt for women. She felt that although she was a girl, she was no worse than the boys in the family in terms of studying, so she pestered her father Murong Yuliang to let her enter the clan school.
Murong Yuliang doted on his precious daughter very much so he had no choice but to agree to let Murong Qingwu study in the clan school, which led to the creation of the world's most talented woman!
However, the more knowledge Murong Qingwu learned from the clan studies, the more distressed he became. Men can take the imperial examinations after studying, and can use various channels and methods to display what they have learned and realize their lifelong ambitions!
But what’s the use of her learning this knowledge?
In this traditional environment, what does it matter even if she studies well and is the best scholar in the world?
Murong Qingwu was often troubled by this problem back then. Studying changed her a lot and made her no longer willing to be a traditional woman who only took care of her husband and children.
Therefore, Murong Qingwu's inner depression is beyond words. She can only numb herself by traveling around, and forget about her depression and unwillingness in the mountains and rivers...
However, no matter how unwilling she was, she could not overcome the environment, and in the end Murong Qingwu chose to accept Ye Mingsheng!
And now Murong Qingwu sees her own past shadow in her daughter Ye Kexin. Seeing her daughter is about to embark on her old path, Murong Qingwu's heart is very complicated. She has experienced that kind of depression and unwillingness firsthand, so she doesn't want Ye Kexin to experience that kind of emotion.
Murong Qingwu once asked herself, if she knew that she had studied so hard, but in the end it was meaningless and could not change anything, would she still work so hard?
Murong Qingwu thought about this question for a long time, but in the end she couldn't give an answer!
And now with her daughter Ye Kexin, Murong Qingwu has to face this painful problem again. Deep down, she really hopes that Kexin can put down her books and enjoy a happy childhood, but Murong Qingwu knows better that Ye Kexin is her daughter, so even though Kexin looks very weak, she is stubborn at heart!
Thinking of this, Murong Qingwu could not help but shook her head silently, and at this moment Ying'er appeared at the door. Seeing this, Murong Qingwu smiled and said to Ke Xin:
"Ke Xin, continue studying. Mom will come to see you later!"
"Ok!"
Seeing her daughter being well-behaved and sensible, Murong Qingwu couldn't help but touch her head again.
After leaving their daughter's room, Murong Qingwu and Ying'er returned to her own room. When Murong Qingwu sat down, Ying'er began to report:
"Madam, there's news from the Attendant Department that the Marshal has named the new dynasty Qian..."
After hearing this, Murong Qingwu seemed a little surprised and asked back:
"Qian? Qianchao?"
Ying Er nodded to indicate that Murong Qingwu had heard correctly, and then continued:
"I heard that the Marshal met Taoist Qingxu in Jingchu, and the Taoist told the Marshal's fortune. In the end, the Marshal made up his mind to join the Qian Dynasty!"
Murong Qingwu looked even more surprised when she heard this. She and Ye Mingsheng have been together for quite some time, and she knew that Ye Mingsheng did not believe in things like divination!
So why did you believe it this time?
Is it because the other party is Taoist Qingxu?
Thinking of Taoist Qingxu, Murong Qingwu couldn't help but fall into memories. In order to alleviate the depression and unwillingness in her heart, she often went traveling in disguise of men under the protection of the guards at home. She once met Taoist Qingxu, a great figure in Taoism!
Because Murong Qingwu had read a lot of books and had some understanding of Taoist theories, she had a very pleasant conversation with Taoist Qingxu. Before parting, Taoist Qingxu gave Murong Qingwu a talisman, and Murong Qingwu still keeps this talisman with her.
Thinking of this, a hint of curiosity flashed in Murong Qingwu's eyes. She had come into contact with Taoist Qingxu and knew that he was a true hermit who was by no means comparable to some opportunist. But could he really have such a great influence on her husband?
Although she didn't know the answer to this question, Murong Qingwu knew that if Ye Mingsheng really named the country Qian, many people would be disappointed...
Because it was an open secret in the court that Ye Mingsheng wanted to change the dynasty, many people also expected Ye Mingsheng to take this step, so that they could also take a step further!
Therefore, the discussion about the name of the new dynasty has almost never stopped. Among them, the more popular names are Feng, Yan, and Liang. It is also generally believed within the court that the name of the new dynasty should be one of these three!
Because the three country names each have their own basis, the original voices are basically the same, with no particularly large differences!
However, in recent times, news has spread in the court that the old lady is inclined to name the country Feng, so the call to name the country Feng has increased immediately. There are even many people who firmly believe that the name Feng is a foregone conclusion, and have even begun preparing auspicious signs and phenomena with Feng as the core!
But now that the word "Qian" has come out, I'm afraid that many people's preparations will be in vain!
However, this has nothing to do with Murong Qingwu. Although she has been paying attention to the discussions within the court about the future name of the country, Murong Qingwu knows better that no matter how heated the discussion is, the final decision is still in the hands of that man!
"Madam, there is second news from the Attendant Department! The Marshal has chosen a name for the young master!" If Murong Qingwu was only generally concerned about the issue of the country's name just now, then when she heard that Ye Mingsheng had given Xiao Ba a big name, Murong Qingwu as a mother could be said to be very concerned. After all, this name will follow the child for his whole life...
"What's your name, sir?"
"Ye Jingyan! In addition, the Marshal also rewarded you with a lot of money and property!"
Murong Qingwu was not interested in things like wealth. The dowry given by her parents and what she knew about Ye Mingsheng's plans for Yijing had allowed Murong Qingwu to accumulate a considerable fortune. However, as for the name Ye Jingyan, she thought for a moment and nodded with satisfaction.
The word "Jing" in a name usually refers to brightness and sunlight, symbolizing brightness and hope, while "Yan" in Chinese means beautiful jade, symbolizing perfection and purity, so Murong Qingwu is still very satisfied with the whole idea.
In fact, although Murong Qingwu knew that Xiao Ba's name would be determined by Ye Mingsheng, she couldn't help but think of several names in private, such as Ye Jingtai, Ye Jinghe, etc., but now Murong Qingwu thinks that the name Ye Jingyan is still very good, not worse than the name she thought of.
Just when Murong Qingwu was feeling happy that her son had a famous name, Ying'er's next words disturbed her mood.
"Madam, there is news from An Miaoyi!"
Hearing the disgusting name An Miaoyi, Murong Qingwu immediately stopped smiling and said:
"What is she going to do now?"
"She sent a message to Yijing Prefect Liu Ning and Youyan Censor Zhuang Shanhe, asking them to help search for Wang Rui!"
“And after Liu Ning and Zhuang Shanhe received the news, they immediately sent people to start searching…”
Murong Qingwu narrowed her eyes upon hearing this, and at this time Ying Er whispered:
"Madam, it seems that bitch An Miaoyi really values Wang Rui. Is she really planning to send Wang Rui to Jiangnan?"
Murong Qingwu did not answer Ying'er's question, but asked in a deep voice:
'When dealing with Wang Rui, did you find any information from him?'
Ying Er shook her head and said:
"Madam, this Wang Rui is quite skilled. It's not difficult to kill him, but it's very difficult to catch him silently, so we just kill him directly!"
Murong Qingwu was a little disappointed when she heard this, but she did not dwell on this question. Instead, she asked:
"Was it handled cleanly?"
"Ma'am, you can rest assured about this. Our killers are all veterans and will not do such a low-level thing as leaving clues!"
Murong Qingwu nodded with satisfaction and said:
'Let them keep quiet recently and don't cause any trouble!'
"Don't worry, I have already given them some money and asked them to go hide in Qilu!"
After saying that, Ying Er seemed to remember something and said:
"Madam, I recently discovered that An Miaoyi is very close to several monks. One of them is called Yuan Kun, who once learned the art of witchcraft. Do you think we can do something about this?"
Listening to Ying Er's words, Murong Qingwu also asked directly:
"You mean witchcraft?"
“Well! It is said that An Miaoyi cursed the Marshal. You see, her son Jingren is now considered by many to be the crown prince. If something happens to the Marshal, her son Jingren will benefit the most. Even if this plan fails, it can at least alert the Marshal…”
After hearing Ying'er's "good idea", Murong Qingwu looked at Ying'er with some surprise. She had never thought that Ying'er would think of such a thing!
Under Murong Qingwu's gaze, Ying Er also seemed a little embarrassed and lowered her head. Seeing this, Murong Qingwu hesitated for a while, shook her head and said:
"This is a desperate plan. Once this news gets out, my husband will investigate it strictly. If the news leaks out, we will be the ones to die!"
"And now An Miaoyi has Cui Shao's support in the court, the old lady's care in the mansion, and many supporters in the Ye clan, the army, and the court. They will not sit idly by and watch An Miaoyi fall!"
Hearing Murong Qingwu say this, Ying Er did not insist and said softly:
"I didn't think carefully!"
"It doesn't matter!"
"I have figured it out now. We don't need to do anything to her. An Miaoyi is a woman with great ambitions, and my husband has strictly ordered women not to interfere in government affairs. So even though An Miaoyi is much quieter now, I believe she will make mistakes again in a short time!"
"With the old lady and Cui Shao here, my husband may not do anything to her, but these two are not young anymore. When they leave one after another, An Miaoyi will have no one to rely on and can only rely on herself. Then it will be the time for this bitch to die!"
"So don't argue with this bitch. She will eventually perish if she continues to do evil!"
After hearing this, Ying Er nodded firmly and said:
“Madam, I believe that there will be such a day in the future. Our young master will definitely inherit the throne and become the emperor of the Qian Dynasty and go down in history…”
(Based on everyone's votes, I decided to name the country Qian. What do you think of becoming emperor within five chapters? Or should we extend it a little to ten chapters?)
