The Eldest Daughter Is Beautiful and Saucy
Chapter 944: co-ed school
Chapter 944: Boys and Girls School
But today, his eldest sister said that he could return home safely, which was great news. The stone that was weighing on Bai Qingqi was finally lifted a little.
“But I couldn’t even protect Ayu! Ayu… was left behind… a charred body. I could only identify him by his armor…”
Bai Qingqi, who had always been mature and steady, couldn’t help but choke up and cried softly for the first time. He couldn’t help but kneel down and apologize.
A Yu is the direct descendant of the Bai family. He is the one who should be protected the most… and the one who should survive the most!
Bai Qingqi has always been the strictest towards Bai Qingyu, just to… enable him to save his life on the battlefield.
But Ayu was still gone, burned beyond recognition…
Only the body of his biological brother was left. He searched the entire battlefield with his bare hands but could not find his brother’s head!
Dabo was an expert archer. If he had been fast enough, he would have been able to save Ah Zhuo and the others. But… he was too slow! He let them bleed to death!
A huge grief once again swept through Bai Qingqi’s body, causing him to tremble with pain all over his body, and he felt like he would rather die than live.
Bai Qingyan pursed her lips tightly. She looked at Bai Qingqi, who was almost unable to hold back his emotions for the first time. She bent down and gently stroked the top of Bai Qingqi’s head. She tightly grasped Bai Qingqi’s arm and helped him up. She whispered as if to comfort him, “Aqi, don’t feel guilty. Ayu is still alive. It’s just that… her identity should not be revealed.”
Bai Qingqi’s body stiffened and he looked up, staring at Bai Qingyan with bloodshot eyes, as if trying to judge whether Bai Qingyan’s words were words of comfort or true.
Bai Qingyu was far away and faintly heard the word “Ayu”. She also saw her third brother kneeling down to apologize, and she knew… her third brother thought he was dead.
Thinking of the gray hair on her third brother’s temples, Bai Qingyu closed her eyes and tried not to cry.
Xiao Rongyan had very good hearing. Although he did not hear what Bai Qingyan said to Bai Qingqi, he heard Bai Qingqi say… He buried all the members of the Bai family with his own hands, and no one came back.
He looked at Bai Qingyu with a gloomy gaze. Then… who is this ghost-faced prince from Rongdi? Could it be… not a son of the Bai family, but an uncle of the Bai family?
The Ghost-faced Prince’s voice was destroyed, hoarse and haggard, and he was wearing a mask, making it difficult to tell his age.
Seeing that the auspicious time was almost over, Prime Minister Lu stepped forward, saluted, and respectfully requested again: “Your Majesty… the auspicious time is almost over. Please respectfully ascend the throne!”
“Your Majesty, please ascend the throne!”
“Your Majesty, please ascend the throne!”
“Your Majesty, please ascend the throne!”
The soldiers and officials shouted three times loudly.
Bai Qingqi, Bai Qingjue, Bai Jinxiu, Bai Jinhua, and Bai Jinzhao also knelt down: “Your Majesty, please ascend the throne!”
Bai Qingyan glanced at Bai Qingyu inconspicuously. She knew in her heart… Jintong was probably the same as Ayu. Ayu had made arrangements in Rongdi, and Jintong also had plans in Xiliang. Right now, neither of them could come back openly as members of the Bai family to witness this moment with her.
Bai Qingyu looked at her brothers and sisters from afar, and the corners of her lips curled up slightly. She was proud of her elder sister! Proud of the Bai family! Proud of the Great Zhou!
Sitting in a wheelchair, Bai Qingyun looked at his elder sister with a smile, watching his elder sister lead the Bai family members and all the officials into the Qiankun Palace, and from then on, they turned the world upside down and changed the world. The era of the Great Zhou Dynasty had arrived.
Bai Qingyan entered the palace and climbed the high steps, sitting on the throne that so many people had fought for, even… a weak army like King Baishui wanted to fight for.
The people of the Bai family are Bai Qingyan’s relatives, in order of closeness… they stand on the second level of the three rows of high steps in the main hall, closest to Bai Qingyan.
As the emperor’s teacher and chief minister of the cabinet, Lu Xiang stood on the third level of the three rows of high steps. The rest of the soldiers and officials stood on both sides of the red carpet.
Shen Kunyang stood in front of all the generals, his eyes red as he looked at Bai Qingyan.
He never thought that one day their invincible little white coach would sit in that position.
The seed of unifying the world that was once planted in the hearts of these military commanders by King Zhenguo, the Duke Zhenguo and the generals of the Bai family is finally about to sprout today.
The royal family of Jin State did not have the ambition of the Bai family to unify the world for generations, and no one had the vision and courage of the Bai family.
Shen Kunyang originally thought that he would never see the day when the world would be unified in his lifetime.
But now that Xiao Baishuai has taken that position, he will surely fight with all his might to unify the world, and Shen Kunyang can’t help but get excited.
He firmly believed that he would definitely see the day when the Great Zhou unified the world in this lifetime, and he would definitely see what the King and the Duke of Zhenguo hoped for… a peaceful and prosperous world!
The officials of the Ministry of Rites sang loudly: “Kneel…”
The Bai family and Prime Minister Lu faced Bai Qingyan and led all the officials to kneel and kowtow: “Long live His Majesty! Long live the Great Zhou!”
Bai Qingyan looked at the civil and military officials who were kneeling and knelt and said, “Summon them.”
“Issue. At the beginning of the founding of the Great Zhou, there were many things to be done. I am now ascending the throne and proclaiming myself emperor. I shall put benevolence and filial piety first. I shall honor my biological mother, Mrs. Dong, as the empress dowager, and appoint Lü Shi’an as my imperial teacher… To help me on the right path to a strong country, I shall now confer titles on you for your merits in suppressing the rebellion in Liang State and Jin State… Bai Jinxiu shall be appointed as the assistant monarch, Bai Jinzhi as the high-righteous monarch, Zhao Sheng as the general guarding the country, Fu Ruoxi as the general of the cavalry, Xie Yuchang as the general of the chariots and cavalry and also in charge of the imperial guards, Lin Kangle as the general of the guards, and Yang Wuce as the general of the pacifying army.”
“The emperor’s teacher Lü Shi’an was given the title of Grand Commandant and ranked first among the Three Dukes… as Shangshu Ling, Shen Jingzhong was given the title of Sikong… as Zhongshu Ling, Dong Qingping was given the title of Situ… as Shizhong Ling, Lü Jinxian was given the title of Personnel Minister, Lü Jin was given the title of Criminal Minister, Wei Bugong was given the title of Revenue Minister, Zhang Duanning was given the title of War Minister, Shen Tianzhi was given the title of Works Minister, Liu Rushi was given the title of Rites Minister, and the rest of the meritorious officials were given titles and rewards separately.”
The appointment and promulgation of officials from the three provinces and six ministries promoted Prime Minister Lu Shi’an to the position of Grand Marshal and Minister of the Chancellery, indicating that the position of prime minister was completely abolished in the Great Zhou Dynasty.
As for the military generals, Bai Qingyan did not give them very high official positions at the beginning. She was leaving room for rewards when she would conquer Xiliang in the future.
She also did not simply bestow titles on the Bai family. Her intention was to… reward them after they had conquered Xiliang and made great achievements in the future. Then it would be more legitimate.
“The new Zhou Dynasty has just been established and is eager to recruit talented people. At this time… I want to recruit talented people and hold another imperial examination to select talents for the court.” The official from the Ministry of Rites spoke in a clear and melodious voice, “I have just ascended the throne and I know that I have a heavy responsibility and a long way to go. I have pondered over the way to make the country strong. Looking at history and thinking about the present, I know that talented people are the foundation of a prosperous country and the cornerstone of enriching the people. I want to open boys’ and girls’ schools in various places to cultivate future talents for my Great Zhou, allow women to take the imperial examinations, allow women to serve as officials, and use their hearts and minds to help the Great Zhou.”
The officials of the Great Zhou Dynasty already knew that Bai Qingyan was going to set up schools for boys and girls and allow women to take the imperial examinations and become officials. Even if they were dissatisfied in their hearts, now that Bai Qingyan was ascending the throne as an emperor for a woman and the Empress of the Great Zhou Dynasty issued an edict… who among these officials would dare to stand up and oppose it?
