Chapter 24 The Tragic General Jin in Long Ao Tianwen (End)
"drive!"
On the streets of Shangjing City, the people turned to look at the figure dressed in white riding a horse.
"It's a military horse! Get out of the way!"
At the reminder of the government officials next to them, the people immediately evacuated to both sides of the street.
The man rode a horse and passed by everyone like a gust of wind.
Only those with sharp eyes could vaguely see that it seemed to be a woman with black hair tied high.
There is also a long sword hanging on the side of the saddle.
"It's the eldest princess!"
With someone exclaiming, the crowd suddenly became excited.
"The great victory at the border, the alien race that has troubled the border for so long finally surrendered, but why did Her Royal Highness the Princess come back so early? It was only more than half a month before the great victory. Did she come back day and night?"
"I heard that His Majesty is in poor health."
"Don't worry, you are talking nonsense!"
The crowd discussed for a moment and then quickly dispersed.
These royal matters should not be discussed by them.
As long as they are happy and healthy, it is enough for them to be able to live peacefully every day.
Shi Ran entered the imperial city unimpeded like a gust of wind.
In the imperial city, everyone had to get off their sedans and horses and remove all their weapons, but no one ever stopped them.
This is the special privilege given by His Majesty to Shi Ran, the eldest princess of Taiping.
You can enter the palace with swords and shoes, and there is no need to pass or dismount.
There is no need to bow down to anyone except the Holy One.
Outside the Zichen Palace, Shi Ran flew off his horse, and his raised hoofs splashed pear blossoms all over the ground.
Among the petals in the sky, Shi Ran couldn't even see clearly what the Zichen Palace looked like.
The pear blossoms in Zichen Palace are in full bloom again.
Just like when they stepped into this place together twelve years ago.
Cui Zhenyi, who had been waiting below, immediately asked someone to come forward and hold Shi Ran's horse.
She looked at Shi Ran, her eyes full of helpless sadness.
Shi Ran only felt that his breathing was slightly stagnant, and he felt a sense of fate that he had known for a long time but could not escape.
Stepping into the palace, Shi Ran saw the queen.
Also her sister-in-law.
From a commoner to a current queen, the Holy One refused to have concubines for her sake, making her a woman envied by the whole world.
But there was not much happiness in the queen's eyes.
After giving her a slightly complicated look, the queen's eyes finally turned into a sense of resignation.
She lowered her head and said, "Your Highness, Princess, please go in. Your Majesty, we are waiting for you."
Walking into the inner room, there was a bitter medicinal smell everywhere.
Shi Xun was lying on the large dragon couch, his cheeks were sunken, and he lost the high-spirited look in his memory.
"Aran, you're back."
Hearing the noise, he raised his eyelids with difficulty and looked at Shi Ran.
"Yes, brother, I'm back."
Not an imperial brother, not a minister. At this moment, they seemed to have returned to twelve years ago.
They are just brother and sister, the two closest people in the world.
From receiving the secret message from the upper capital to rushing back to the upper capital, Shi Ran traveled all the way for ten days. Even when he was tired and sleepy, he only slept for an hour. He traveled almost day and night before finally rushing back today.
"Okay, very good. My Aran is outstanding after all. The battle at the border will relieve his anger, really relieve his anger!"
A trace of cheerful smile and pride appeared on Shi Xun's face.
Over the years, Shi Ran has been promoted to almost all six ministries, and has also been the minister of each ministry.
The year before last, Shi Xun defied all opinions and appointed her as a general, allowing her to go to the border to quell the alien rebellion.
This journey lasted for nearly three years.
Shi Ran didn't expect that after three years, when he came back, his brother in his prime would look like this.
"Don't be sad, A'ran. I know my body well. The hidden wounds caused by fighting on the battlefield will come sooner or later. However, I have to wait for you to come back before I can swallow this breath."
Shi Xun no longer calls himself me, and his eyes when he looks at Shi Ran are full of softness.
"A'ran, I know that your talent and learning abilities far surpass mine. However, men are always favored in this world, so even though you were the one who planned it at the beginning, I still sit on the throne in the end."
At that time, for all the civil and military officials to accept a woman as an official, it would cost them half their lives, let alone a woman becoming an emperor.
Shi Xun understood.
So over the years, he has been giving Shi Ran various opportunities to accumulate prestige and achievements.
Shi Ran did not disappoint him. Indeed, he was so outstanding that no one could match him.
So after the news of the great victory at the Border Pass came back, Shi Xun knew that he finally no longer had to hold on to his body.
The opportunity he had been waiting for finally came.
"Brother."
Shi Ran didn't know what to say for a moment.
"Aran, I have entrusted this country to you. I hope you can remember what you said to me twelve years ago. This country belongs to the people of the world. The people are the foundation of the country's well-being. We will never leave. forget."
Shi Xun finally said the words that had been pressing in his heart for a long time.
He wanted to entrust his country to Shi Ran.
Although he had three sons and two daughters, they were all very mediocre, and Shi Xun never thought of entrusting his country to them.
Although the queen's mother family was rich and powerful over the years, Shi Xun never gave them any power.
In order to make up for the queen's guilt, even as an emperor, he still did not admit a large harem.
He didn't know if he was worthy of the queen, but he thought that he was worthy of this country.
Shi Ran held brother's hand and nodded slowly.
"Brother, don't worry."
With a long sigh, Shi Xun slowly closed his eyes.
In the twelfth year of the Dayi Zhengyao reign, Xun Xun died at the age of forty during the reign of Emperor Huiwu.
When Princess Taiping succeeded to the throne, Ran changed the country's name to Jing'an and the emperor's name to Emperor Huijing.
During the reign of Emperor Huijing, Ran was the first female emperor in history. During her twenty-three years in power, she conquered the four seas, conquered the world, traveled to the frontiers, expanded the territory, and created a legacy for all generations.
During his reign, there were many famous ministers and wise men, especially Cui Zhenyi, who was known as the first female prime minister in history.
Cui Xiang never married, and the weapons he developed made great contributions to the expansion of Dayi's territory.
In the 23rd year of Jingan's reign, Emperor Huijing passed away in the Zichen Palace and left the crown prince's daughter to Prime Minister Cui.
The princess was born to Shi Ran three years ago in Jing'an. Her biological father is unknown.
After all, there were many beauties in Shiran's harem.
All clans of the aristocratic families are always interested in filling the harem with beauties.
No matter if this beauty is male or female.
Shi Ran also deliberately concealed the child's true month.
It doesn't matter who the child's biological father is.
Her mother is Shi Ran, and that's the most important thing.
"You will live up to your trust."
Cui Xiang knelt down with tears in his eyes to receive the last oracle.
Then, he worked hard, worked hard and slept hard, and finally died seven years later due to fatigue.
At that time, the sword used by Emperor Hui Jing was still placed on Prime Minister Cui's desk.
"You will live up to your trust."
This is what Cui Zhenyi said when she knelt down and worshiped Shi Ran in the mansion in Shangjing City more than 20 years ago.
It was also what she said when Shi Ran asked her to be alone.
And she spent her whole life fulfilling her promise.
The king and his ministers have a dream, which will last forever.
Perhaps, thousands of years later, someone will remember it.
The two women made a lifelong promise in the chaotic Shangjing City at that time.
They want to open a way for women in the world and leave a hope.
And they finally did it.
The sun and the moon shine together, my destiny is my master. Under the torrent of men being respected, women have taken control of their own destiny for the first time.
They cut the invisible thread that bound the wings.
From now on, the sky is vast and you can fly wherever you want.
"Let's go."
After accompanying Cui Zhenyi with the body of spiritual consciousness and watching her last seven years, Shi Ran finally had no regrets.
She slowly said to the mark on her wrist.
After this life ended, such a mark appeared on her right wrist.
The inherited memory in the sea of consciousness told her that this was the tribulation seal of all worlds.
Only after all the tribulations have passed can this mark be eliminated.
And this mark can take her soul consciousness to travel between worlds and experience it.
The next second, the mark bloomed.
Shi Ran fell into chaos again.
