I took over after the heroine of the abusive novel ran away

Chapter 171: Women’s Love for the Country (24)

The people heard so many good words from the Queen that they could feel her love for them, coupled with the storytellers' comfort and guidance.

Although he was a little surprised that the Queen suddenly became the Emperor, he did not show any much resistance.

Moreover, on the day of her coronation, Liu Shu deliberately created nine-colored auspicious clouds and rosy clouds, auspicious signs that her ascension to the throne was God's will.

Therefore, Liu Shu's becoming emperor did not cause much commotion among the people.

The Daye Dynasty implemented the system of vassal kings. Just as Liu Shu had thought at the beginning, as the news of her ascension to the throne spread, vassal kings from all over the country became restless and wanted to go to the capital to serve the king in the name of clearing the court and slaying the evil queen.

Liu Shu had thought about this situation before, and had secretly deployed personnel in various fiefdoms long ago. As various accidents happened to the princes who were the most enthusiastic and took the lead in causing trouble, the rest of the people also realized Liu Shu's methods and became obedient.

Society has a pyramid structure. As long as the lower and middle levels are stable, some changes in the upper level will not have much impact.

During this special succession of the throne, the internal situation of the Ye Dynasty was relatively stable, but the external situation was not so honest.

When the Hu people outside the Great Wall heard that a female emperor had ascended the throne in Ye Dynasty, they thought it was a great opportunity and immediately gathered troops. They wanted to take advantage of the internal instability of Ye Dynasty to march south and take control of the Central Plains.

As early as when Murong Jin was seriously ill, Liu Shu had already made preparations. She arranged for Xie Yunxi to go to the border and lead the Liu family army to guard the border.

The Hu people came with great momentum, but were finally defeated by the new weapons that Xie Yunxi had developed over the years, and they fled in disarray.

At this point, the situation has completely stabilized.

Postscript of Ye Dynasty

In the fifth year of Yuan'an, Emperor Jing died and passed the throne to his queen, and made his daughter the crown princess.

The system of female emperors succeeding to the throne in history began here.

……

After Murong Jin left, Liu Shu felt listless for a long time.

It must be said that Murong Jin's last words had a profound impact on her.

It's spring again, and the flowers in the Imperial Garden are blooming. Liu Shu stood in the octagonal pavilion, looking at the same beautiful scenery in the garden as a year ago. Suddenly, she thought of the scene of admiring flowers with Murong Jin last year, and was a little absent-minded for a while.

Last year in this door today, the face of peach blossoms in red.

The human face does not know where to go, Peach Blossom still laughs spring breeze.

The beautiful scenery remains, but the old friends are gone.

Seeing Liu Shu like this, Sijiu asked curiously.

"Nannan, you are... in love with Murong Jin."

Ever since it bound itself to Zhao Yanan, Zhao Yanan has always behaved very calmly and decisively, quite cold-hearted, and has never been shaken by any emotion. Even though Qin Heng was so good to her at the beginning, she has never been obsessed. Sijiu has never seen his own family so sad, so he has to have some doubts.

Liu Shu came back to her senses, listened to Sijiu's words, and shook her head with a smile, "Love? That's not the case."

After experiencing so many worlds, how could she fall in love with someone so easily?

"Then why are you so...um...sad?" Sijiu was quite confused.

My host must be sad when he is like this!

Being sad over someone’s death, if that’s not love, then what is that?

"Sad? I'm not a piece of wood. I will naturally be sad when someone who treats you well leaves. But it's okay! I just feel a little nostalgic when I suddenly see the old scenery." Liu Shu reached out and touched the peony that had entered the pavilion, with a nostalgic look on her face.

A sincere, beautiful and uncalculated feeling is always unforgettable.

"Nostalgia! Are you reluctant to leave Murong Jin? If so, why didn't you save him in the first place? You could have saved him."

Sijiu was a little confused. Wouldn't it be easy for her to save Murong Jin and keep her alive with her host's ability? Could it be that her host regretted not being able to save him in the past?

Liu Shu smiled calmly, "Save him? Sijiu! I have never forgotten my original goal. You know what? People can control their own destiny, but sometimes they also need to respect the destiny of others."

At one point, she thought about prolonging Murong Jin's life, but she didn't do it in the end.

She has never been a good person; coldness and selfishness are her nature.

Beautiful love can easily make people lose themselves, but she always remembers her goal clearly.

She could indeed save Murong Jin, and even if she wanted, Murong Jin could be like a normal person and grow old with her.

But Liu Shu didn't do that. Why did she have to save Murong Jin? Some things should just be left to nature.

She has the choice to save him or not.

There has never been any rule that if Murong Jin loves her, she must love Murong Jin and must save him. She does not accept this kind of kidnapping of love.

Think about it, didn't someone in a certain world love her to the point of being desperate at the beginning? In the end, didn't he succumb to power and reality?

Although she missed Murong Jin, she didn't feel that she had done anything wrong to Murong Jin.

Yes, Murong Jin loved her and was infatuated with her, but she did not let Murong Jin down. When he loved her, didn't she treat him wholeheartedly?

When it comes to relationships, she never asks for a lifetime of companionship, but only for having a clear conscience.

Originally, their relationship was just a deal, and both of them knew it.

I just didn't expect that real feelings would develop later.

Murong Jin's short life was not caused by her, so why should he feel guilty? Murong Jin loved her wholeheartedly, and she responded in kind. She thought she had never done anything wrong to him.

In this limited life, what Murong Jin gave to her and what he received from her were always fair.

But after all, all the rational considerations may still be due to lack of love!

"Do you know why the white moonlight is so unforgettable?" Liu Shu asked.

"Why?"

"Because he died early, he died at the most perfect moment, so he cannot be surpassed or forgotten. Therefore, people who come after him will never be able to surpass him."

To her, Murong Jin is just like this!

Not being able to obtain something or losing it after obtaining it, and having it come to an abrupt end at the happiest moment, will make it unforgettable.

Liu Shu picked the peony flower next to her and played with it in her palm.

“Just like these flowers, people will love them only if they are picked when they are in full bloom.

Once the flowers bloom and turn to dust, who would want to take a look at them?"

Sijiu thought for a long time, and finally said, "Will you find someone who looks like Murong Jin as a stand-in in the future?"

Liu Shu: ...

Very good, it is indeed a cruel system.
