Chapter 140 General, She Rebelled (End)
Xu Jinhuan was already very familiar with rebellion, not to mention that she had so many capable generals and soldiers under her command. She didn't have to worry about food and weapons. Old Madam Xu came from a noble family and was good at business. She had a lot of property in her name, which was more than enough for her to spend.
She gave several special training sessions to her generals and soldiers. After defeating the Northern Di, she seized their war horses, formed a cavalry battalion, and began to capture cities and territories.
They marched southward with unstoppable force, and with their good ideological movement, many common people served as their accomplices, so sometimes the city gates would open on their own initiative.
Xu Jinhuan only needed to send people to take over, so they quickly reached Kyoto.
Zhao Yu panicked and flew into a rage in the court, calling all the ministers useless and saying that none of them were useful.
Some court officials couldn't stand it anymore and rolled their eyes silently, thinking.
Weren’t all the capable generals killed by you, Zhao father and son?
There is no one available now. I feel anxious. You deserve it.
Zhao Yu became even angrier when he saw the court officials were silent. He said angrily, "Weren't you very eloquent before? Why are you silent now? You're dumb."
"I am willing to fight." A young man stood up.
Zhao Yu waved his hand and said, "Yes."
Then he looked at the courtiers below and said, "If anyone can defeat Xu Jinhuan, I can make him a king, and the title can be inherited by the whole family."
As soon as these words were spoken, several people who were very confident in themselves stood up and felt that Xu Jinhuan was just a woman, so no matter how powerful she was, how great could she be?
Then he came to the battlefield. Faced with Xu Jinhuan, who was so aggressive and killed many people with a single blow of his sword, he panicked and tried to escape on his horse, but was finally hacked to death.
One batch of people fell after another, and finally Zhao Yu had no one available, so he could only recruit soldiers urgently. They had no practical experience and were very easy to fight. Xu Jinhuan captured a large number of prisoners and then directly opened the city gate.
He drove Zhao Yu off the throne and gave him to a woman as a concubine.
Don't you like to be someone's concubine? Then go and be one yourself!
Zhao Yu was very angry and said with a sullen face: "This is an insult."
Xu Jinhuan laughed loudly and said, "I just want to insult you."
Zhao Yu stared at Xu Jinhuan with sinister eyes and said, "You will be punished for doing this."
"I only know that I am very happy now. Come, take me away." Xu Jinhuan waved his hand.
There are quite a lot of women who want to make the former emperor a concubine, and they are generous with their money. If the court officials did not disagree, they would want to sell Zhao Yu every now and then.
As for the women in Zhao Yu's harem, she would take revenge on those who had grudges against the original owner, and release those who had no grudges from the palace. Those who wanted to get married could get married, and those who didn't want to get married could not. It was their freedom.
The officials of the Dasheng Dynasty were also thoroughly purged, and those who were guilty of corruption and bribery were taken to the vegetable market and executed.
Those who did not want to be officials were dismissed, but they were not sent home. Instead, they were kept under surveillance to prevent them from colluding with Zhao Yu and rebelling again.
After three requests from court officials, Xu Jinhuan became the first emperor of the Great Yan Dynasty.
After she came to power, she opened the imperial examinations, selected talented people, and promulgated laws, and for a time, the political situation was clear.
It also abolished some of the previous policies that emphasized agriculture and suppressed commerce, which led to the rapid prosperity of business and the collection of more and more taxes.
Agriculture would not be taxed so much, but would instead receive some subsidies from time to time.
……
A few years later, thanks to a series of measures taken by Xu Jinhuan, the Great Yan Dynasty developed unprecedented prosperity, with all nations coming to pay tribute, which is known in history as the Qianyuan Period of Prosperity.
Scholars also praised the empress Xu Jinhuan and wrote books about her.
At this time, Zhao Yu was filled with resentment as he watched his wife happily buying one book after another about Xu Jinhuan.
How can this bitch be worthy?
"If it weren't for Emperor Xu, I would never have met a beauty like you." The wife turned around and reached out to touch Zhao Yu's little face.
Zhao Yu noticed out of the corner of his eye that someone was watching him and tried to avoid it, but the next second, he was slapped in the face.
"How dare you despise me? You are so brave." The wife said unhappily.
Zhao Yu noticed the gazes of the people around him and felt extremely embarrassed for a moment. He stared at the woman in front of him with angry eyes.
The woman looked at Zhao Yu's unruly face and scolded him, "You are so untameable. No wonder you even lost the throne. Now you can only be my concubine."
"You," Zhao Yu was so furious that he was shaking with anger.
The woman rolled her eyes and said, "What are you talking about? If you continue to be disrespectful, I will sell you out."
A few days later, Zhao Yu angered the woman again, and the woman sold him out.
When Xu Jinhuan went on a secret visit in disguise, he saw Zhao Yu following a burly woman with a fawning look on his face.
Xu Jinhuan walked up to him and laughed out loud on purpose. When Zhao Yu saw Xu Jinhuan, his breathing stopped.
Thinking of the hardships he had endured over the years, the anger that had been suppressed for many years suddenly bubbled up, and he picked up a dagger from the stall next to him and rushed over.
It's all her fault. If it weren't for her, he would still be the high and mighty emperor now, and wouldn't have to live by pleasing others.
However, when the dagger was still half a meter away from Xu Jinhuan, it was kicked away by the guard responsible for protecting Xu Jinhuan, and then Xu Jinhuan cut his neck.
Blood trickled out, Zhao Yu felt himself getting weaker and weaker, and gradually lost his breath.
The big and strong woman who was followed by Zhao Yu at the beginning slipped away when she saw that something was not right.
Zhao Yu died with his eyes open.
He is not reconciled!
He was made the crown prince when he was born and ascended the throne smoothly.
He should have been an emperor for his entire life, but things did not go as he wished. A man named Xu Jinhuan suddenly appeared, snatched his throne, and made him someone else's concubine!
He is not reconciled!
Looking at Zhao Yu's huge eyes, Xu Jinhuan was not afraid. Instead, he stepped forward and checked him carefully. After confirming that he was dead, he asked the guards to throw Zhao Yu into the mass grave.
In the following years, the Great Yan Dynasty developed rapidly, capitalism began to sprout, and under the official leadership, the steam engine was invented and widely used.
When Xu Jinhuan was about to die, he reformed the political system, turning rule by man into rule by law, and feudal monarchy into constitutional monarchy, and only then did he leave this world with peace of mind.
