Chapter 196 The Queen Who Used as a Shield in a Good Pregnancy Novel (46)
Li Yanxiu's edict of self-reproach spread throughout the land at an extremely rapid pace, and the people soon learned who the woman who appeared on the night of the auspicious omens was.
When they learned that it was actually the infamous empress they often talked about, they were filled with panic.
But when the people saw the self-reproach edict in which Li Yanxiu confessed his sins, they immediately felt that they had found the culprit.
If it weren't for this incompetent emperor misleading and corrupting them, how could they be cursing the empress they don't even know? It's all the dog emperor's fault!
After the blame was shifted to Emperor Li Yanxiu, the people felt a little more at ease.
Ignorance is no excuse; we can only hope that the Empress, who is destined to rule the world, will not blame them for their past ignorance.
However, not all people readily accepted the idea of a woman becoming emperor. Some more stubborn people, such as some scholars and literati, felt that any auspicious signs were clearly a means for the empress to seize power.
Therefore, they published numerous articles opposing the idea of a woman becoming empress, and even wrote several proclamations criticizing Empress Sun, trying to get others to stand on their side and condemn the empress together.
But soon, they suffered the consequences.
Ruan Ruan possessed the child-rearing system, but she was also constantly monitoring public opinion. When she discovered that someone was trying to use Le Yan's reputation as a stepping stone to elevate themselves, she immediately became furious.
After a few Misfortune Pills were used, all the people who jumped the highest were doomed.
As Ruan Ruan watched, she had people spread the word about their miserable state, saying that these people had disrespected fate and were being punished by heaven.
After this incident, even if someone was still dissatisfied, they wouldn't dare to act recklessly.
After all, regardless of whether it's divine punishment or not, they don't want to be struck by lightning, crushed by trees, or have their houses collapse.
All those things were life-threatening!
Satisfied that the troublemakers had calmed down, Ruan Ruan used the birth system to keep an eye on the situation on the border for a while.
Wei Wanqing led the Wei family army, and with gunpowder in hand, they were invincible and unstoppable, advancing all the way to the heart of the barbarian lands. All they needed to do was capture the barbarian leader, and they could completely subdue these barbarians who had plagued the border for years.
Ruan Ruan immediately shared this good news with Le Yan, who was trying on the dragon robe. She said, "At the enthronement ceremony, this merit that will last for a thousand years will be spread throughout the world. Who will dare to say that His Majesty is not good in the slightest!"
At that time, she can take out the grain seeds, smallpox vaccines, gunpowder, and cannons in her hands to congratulate the new emperor on his ascension to the throne.
Ruan Ruan was plotting something when Le Yan raised her hand to rub her head and said gently, "I know you care about me, but you also need to take care of your own health."
"Look at those dark circles under your eyes, haven't you slept for days?"
Her pale fingers lightly touched the dark circles under her eyes, sending a shiver down Ruan Ruan's spine.
She looked at the two figures standing side by side in the glass mirror opposite her, raised her hand and carefully touched Le Yan's hand, then smiled and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry, I have the system with me. After taking a Spirit Hundredfold Pill, I can still hold on!"
Ruan Ruan clenched her fist, her face resolute, as if as long as Le Yan said "I don't believe you," she could continue to endure and prove to her that she really could do it.
Helpless, Le Yan could only glare at her and say, "Every medicine has some side effects. Take less medicine and go back to rest."
Her tone became more forceful, carrying an undeniable air of authority. Ruan Ruan moved her lips, sighed, and replied, "Yes, Your Majesty's decree."
Although she hadn't slept for almost three days, she wasn't tired at all; she genuinely felt she could still keep going.
Can ... ...
Looking up at Le Yan's unyielding expression, Ruan Ruan resigned herself to her fate and could only go back to rest.
She looked back repeatedly, reluctant to leave, saying, "Your Majesty, I'll rest for a while and then come back to help you."
Let's hope that by the time she gets back, the task has already been taken by someone else.
Thinking of those bastards who always tried to steal His Majesty's attention from her, Ruan Ruan couldn't help but put her hands on her hips, looking annoyed.
Damn it, why are they everywhere?!
Looking at that sullen figure, Le Yan shook her head with amusement, and suddenly remembered that Ruan Ruan was actually not that old. Whether before or after the transmigration, she was just a college student.
Throughout the year, she and the system did indeed provide a great deal of assistance. Without them, many things would have taken a long time to complete.
Le Yan sighed inwardly, then looked back at the glass mirror. Gazing at her reflection in the dragon robe, her expression shifted several times before finally returning to calm.
Since she's going to be the empress, she'd better be a wise and benevolent ruler from now on.

August 25th, ten days after the Mid-Autumn Festival, is an auspicious day, most suitable for an emperor to ascend the throne.
At Leyan's coronation ceremony, Ruan Ruan administered several auspicious pills, and the majestic five-clawed golden dragon reappeared.
Under a clear blue sky, under the watchful eyes of the masses, a five-clawed golden dragon stood majestically in the heavens, its golden eyes fixed on the new ruler who was slowly ascending to the summit. As she reached the top, the dragon opened its mouth, and a majestic divine voice descended upon the earth:
"Mandated by Heaven, long life and everlasting prosperity"
These eight characters have never appeared in this world before. The fact that this scene could be created is all thanks to the procreation system working around the clock to modify the program.
Not only that, in front of thousands of subjects, after the five-clawed golden dragon finished speaking, it actually transformed into a jade seal and floated down into Le Yan's hand.
On the jade seal, a lifelike five-clawed golden dragon coils, and below the jade seal are engraved the eight large characters "Received the Mandate of Heaven, May Your Life Be Long and Prosperous".
Seeing this scene, all the civil and military officials, as well as the surrounding crowd, knelt down in submission and shouted "Long live the Emperor!"
Countless subjects knelt in worship, and Le Yan, holding the imperial seal, sat high on the dragon throne, genuinely experiencing the taste of power.
No wonder so many people are vying to climb the social ladder, no wonder everyone covets the emperor's position.
You really can't blame them.
Who could resist the urge to become emperor?
Let alone ancient times, even in modern times, there have been quite a few online emperors.
*
The two-hundred-year history of the Li Kingdom ended with its last emperor, Li Yanxiu.
In its place came a new dynasty—the Zhao Dynasty.
Sun Leyan, the founding empress of the Great Zhao Dynasty, ascended the throne by virtue of the mandate of heaven.
On the first day of the founding of the Great Zhao Dynasty, Ruan Ruan, who was conferred the title of Duke of Zhenguo by the Empress, presented grain seeds that could yield a thousand catties per mu at the court meeting. He also presented a good medicine that could cure and prevent smallpox.
This shocked the world.
Leaving aside the grain seeds that can yield a thousand catties per mu, is the medicine that can cure smallpox really true?
Smallpox, a disease that has claimed countless lives for centuries and for which there has never been a cure, is a disease that strikes fear into people's hearts. Can cowpox really cure smallpox?
It's not that the people don't believe it, it's that they simply dare not believe it!
However, it was alright. The imperial court quickly arranged for an experiment, recruiting volunteers who had contracted smallpox to participate in the vaccination experiment in public. As those smallpox patients recovered day by day, this cowpox vaccine became a valuable medicine offered by the people of the country.
