“I’ve also told the Emperor of Xi Qi.” Xue Yan continued, “The seeds have to be bought every year. Otherwise, the production cannot be guaranteed. He agreed and signed the document of the two countries, and we stamped the two country’s seals.”

Jiang Yue nodded. After putting on her soft-soled shoes, she looked at him. “Shao Shuting came here a while ago. I heard that there’s a female Emperor in Beicheng?”

There had never been a female Emperor here before. Now, there was one in Beicheng Country, which was equivalent to having the first Empress in the history of this place.

“Yes.” Xue Yan also nodded. She was still focused on the things in her hands. “I also received a report when I was in the imperial capital. Her name is Fu Ying. She is only seventeen years old and took over half a month ago. She was the only child of her father, and her father was unwilling to hand over the country to others; he sent her to the throne before he died.”

Then, he lowered his voice and said, “In her previous life, she also succeeded to the throne at this time. This has not changed. I reckon it will be the same as in her previous life. In a few months, she will claim that she is a woman and is not qualified to be the Emperor. She will abdicate the throne to her cousin, Fu Xu.”

This was all he knew about Fu Ying, who had been the Empress for a few months. He had never seen her in his previous life.

As for her cousin Fu Xu, he learned quite a bit from that man.

“After Fu Xu became the Emperor of Beicheng,” Xue Yan continued, “He became cruel and heartless and only cared about life’s pleasures. Later on, to plunder a large amount of wealth from Da Ling, he ordered people to attack Da Ling and massacred the city closest to Beicheng.”

At this point, he fell silent.

In his previous life, Fu Xu had ordered a large army to attack Da Ling four years after he became the regent. By the time he personally led the army and rushed over as fast as he could, more than half of the city had been destroyed and more than half of the people inside had been killed. After that, not only did Da Ling drive the enemy out of Da Ling, but he also flattened Beicheng.

Fu Xu was captured alive and his head was chopped off on the spot.

The heads of those who were evil were hung on the top of the city gate of the imperial city of Beicheng for a whole month to tell the souls of the innocent people and soldiers who died to not meet the same fate.

Every time he talked about this kind of thing, his heart would be heavy. Therefore, Jiang Yue did not make a sound and quietly waited for Xue Yan to recover.

After a long while, Xue Yan seemed to have recovered. He continued, “In this life, Da Ling has cannons. No country dares to invade anymore. It should not be like the previous life.”

Jiang Yue nodded. “No matter which border pass of Da Ling, they have set up an equal number of cannons and increased the number of soldiers. They are like iron buckets. Moreover, the cannons are still being manufactured yearly just in case we need more. Besides, the Nanrong Kingdom has experienced the power of the cannon before. The whole world knows that. Unless he is hopelessly st*pid and wants to die, he will not be like in his previous life. However, it wasn’t easy for the empress’s father to send her to the throne. How could she abdicate after only a few months?”

“I don’t know.” Xue Yan shook his head. “In my previous life, I was already the Prime Minister, so I knew only a little about Beicheng’s situation. I know that in the few months that she was in power, Beicheng did not issue any national policies. She did not seem to have issued any decrees either. It was all discussed by the royalists themselves.”

“According to what you said, he doesn’t sound like he’s qualified to be the Emperor,” said Jiang Yue. “It’s also possible that there’s some conspiracy happening from the inside. After all, like you said, her father quickly made her the Empress. It would be a little unreasonable for her to give up her place so easily.”
