Quickly wear it and insist on being an old man forever

Chapter 318 The Useless Traveler Wants to Go Home (16)

Although Bai Sheng apparently devoted most of her time and energy to the Xuannv Academy project, she actually secretly sent people to do a lot of things in private.

Just then, it was the middle of the third year of Mingdao.

What she did paid off.

Li Yuanhao's biological mother, Wei Mushanxi, announced to the public that Li Yuanhao had died suddenly, and she ascended the throne and established the country.

And they were willing to regard the Han and Liao as their suzerain states.

The following month, Empress Dowager Xiao of Liao deposed the emperor and officially ascended the throne wearing a dragon robe. She also sent envoys to sign a new alliance with Liu E of the Han Dynasty, agreeing to become sister countries.

The previous agreement was a country of brothers, but now we are all sisters, so we must change it to a country of sisters!
The Liao Kingdom is the elder sister and the Han Dynasty is the younger sister.

There is no way, the Liao Kingdom was indeed stronger.

The whole world was shocked for a while. The impact of these two pieces of news combined was countless times greater than the impact caused by Liu E's usurpation of the throne.

And all this is inseparable from Bai Sheng’s plan.

First of all, Li Yuanhao's mother Wei Mushanxi actually had no idea of ​​seizing power, nor did she have any idea of ​​killing her own son Li Yuanhao. But her younger brother planned to seize power at the beginning of this year, and was discovered by Li Yuanhao.

She helped to plead for mercy, and hoped that her son would show leniency, spare her uncle, and demote him to a commoner.

But Li Yuanhao did not agree.

Not only did he not agree, he also wanted to kill all nine generations of the clan. He even took the poison with his own hands and asked Wei Mushanxi to drink it herself. If she drank it herself, it would give her dignity. If she didn't drink it herself

It wasn't said explicitly, but I knew it wouldn't be good.

At that time, Wei Mu Shanxi was already in despair and was even planning to drink the poison. It was Bai Sheng who sent someone to watch her and smashed the cup of poison in her hand, and in the process, perfectly controlled Li Yuanhao.

After all, Li Yuanhao was murdering his mother. Even if his mother's family had committed a serious crime, generally speaking, no emperor or leader of a certain power would dare to murder his mother for this reason. At most, they would imprison her. Only if the other party was not his biological mother and he killed her, would there be less gossip.

And Wei Mu Shanxi is undoubtedly his biological mother, so when he did this, he definitely couldn't have brought a large group of people with him. He came here secretly by himself.

This gave Bai Sheng's men the opportunity to take action.

What followed was a series of persuasion and encouragement, analysis of the pros and cons, etc. The final result was that Wei Mushanxi personally poured a glass of wine from the wine jug brought by her son Li Yuanhao and fed it to her son. Less than half an hour after Li Yuanhao drank the wine, he vomited blood and died suddenly.

However, because Wei Mushanxi herself was not a powerful figure, even after doing this, she eventually went to the prison to get her brother out, and then asked her brother to cooperate with her, and finally managed to stabilize the power left after Li Yuanhao's death. After that, she was faced with the choice of shrinking the sphere of influence or formally establishing a country!
In fact, Li Yuanhao's father already had the idea of ​​establishing his own country, but he died early.

Later, Li Yuanhao continued to handle this matter.

The arrow has been on the string and has to be shot.

So there are two choices, but in fact there is only one choice, which is to formally establish a country and try to survive in the gap between the Liao Kingdom and the Han Dynasty.
At this time, the people sent by Bai Sheng continued to persuade Wei Mu Shanxi to ascend the throne and become emperor, and at the same time be vassal of the Liao Kingdom and the Han Dynasty. They also said that they had connections in both the Han and Liao Dynasties, and could persuade the Han and Liao Dynasties to recognize them, Xixia, so as to avoid them fighting a war to establish their country.

This led to her founding of the Western Xia Dynasty and ascending the throne to become emperor.

And they regarded the Han and Liao as their suzerain states.

As for how to convince Liu E, it was very simple. The area ruled by Li Yuanhao had long been out of the rule of the Han Dynasty. He had evil intentions and wanted to establish his own country. This was as obvious as Sima Zhao's heart, and everyone knew it.

Compared to starting a war at this time.

The situation is now relatively good.

The most important thing is this: the situation is completely different if there is only one empress and if there are two or three empresses in the world. If the Central Plains and the Nine Provinces can produce three or four empresses, it will undoubtedly make it easier for them to secure their positions.

Just this one sentence was enough to make Liu E's heart move.

It was also enough to make Empress Dowager Xiao of the Liao Dynasty, who had been ready to make a move, and she immediately succeeded in usurping the throne with the help of a dozen innate strongmen sent by Bai Sheng. In the process, she also carried out a major purge, not only of the Yelu royal family members, but also of their Xiao family.

She has to purge it. If she doesn't, once she usurps the throne and becomes emperor, not only will the original Yelu royal family want to regain the throne, but even the men with the surname Xiao from her own family will probably also want to try their luck at being emperor.

Don’t purge those who are capable and ambitious.

How can she feel at ease?

Liu E did not have these concerns. There were not many people in her natal family. The only weakness was that she was killed by a minister when she ascended the throne. As for the members of the Zhao Song royal family, they were all spineless and not worth worrying about.

Although Bai Sheng didn't actually send out many people, nor did he do much, he was mostly just going with the flow.

But the world situation has indeed undergone tremendous changes.

The rulers of the Han, Liao and Western Xia Kingdoms all became empresses. Now the king of Dali is a little different. He is considering whether to pass the throne to his daughter.

Anyway, whoever is the emperor is just a puppet, it doesn’t matter.

With these three female emperors in the lead, Bai Sheng’s so-called Xuannv Academy plan is really insignificant.

Some even thought that she was trying to curry favor with the emperor.

After that, it was mainly a period of peaceful development for all countries. Of course, the peace here refers to relative peace. In reality, various problems have never ceased to exist.

There have always been people dissatisfied and rebellious within the Han, Liao, and Western Xia dynasties, as well as people plotting and scheming. If Bai Sheng hadn't sent people to protect the three of them, it would be a question whether the three empresses would still be alive. Fortunately, as time went by, the common people basically stopped rebelling, and they just had to be wary of palace coups.

For example, the Tanglong coup and the Shenlong coup.

But overall it is okay, at least no bigger conflicts have broken out on the borders of the countries. Everyone is working hard to stabilize the internal situation, coordinate the major forces, and improve the living standards of the people, because they know that only in this way can they gain recognition from more ordinary people.

Their position will be more stable.

Bai Sheng's Xuannv Academy plan also developed rapidly in this relatively stable environment. Ten years later, he had barely trained three batches of teachers and opened a large number of Xuannv Academy in the Han territory. Twenty years later, Xuannv Academy had been opened throughout the entire Central Plains.

At the same time, major business houses that received investment or technical support from the Xuannv Fund also flourished throughout the entire Central Plains Kyushu region. Although they seemed scattered, once they were integrated, they would be enough to occupy half of the entire business world.

What is being talked about here is all the businesses in the Central Plains and Kyushu.

However, because the Xuannv Sect's Xuannv Fund only invests in cooperation, and in most cases does not require absolute control, it only requires some advisory rights and dividend rights, and does not care too much about other aspects. Therefore, not many people know about this part of hidden strength.

Everyone's main impression of the Xuannv Sect is that it has a land immortal in charge, that it produces a lot of elixirs of creation, and that the people there are stupid and have a lot of money, and that they have spent countless amounts of gold over the past twenty years to train useless women for free.

Of course, none of this matters.

The Xuannv Academy founded by Bai Sheng is still in the early stages of accumulation. It will probably take another 20 to 30 years before the future of a hundred schools of thought and the industrial revolution.

The most lively thing at this point in time was that the families and forces that went overseas to mine gold and occupy land for business were now continuously spreading their newly learned whereabouts of the Bright Divine Sect to the Central Plains.

For a time, it was like a huge wave of chaos again.

There is no doubt that Zhang Qiang, who originally sailed west with three million taels of gold and a large number of people, finally achieved his goal after twenty years of hard work.

The reason why such a big fuss was caused this time was mainly because she had deposed the kings of many Western countries at once some time ago, and selected princesses from the royal families and officially crowned them as kings.

Even though there have been three empresses in the Central Plains.

This is still quite horrifying.
