Leaning back on his chair, a feeling of helplessness arose from the bottom of his heart. He never thought that one day he would be forced into a palace by a group of officials, leaving him with the testamentary edict.

The pain in his head was so intense that even he himself knew that his illness was getting worse and worse. He couldn't even hold on for much longer in the morning.

He'd wanted to be able to sit in the throne room and do nothing, just listen to the officials, and watch them deal with the political affairs of the court from the sidelines. He was unwilling to part with the dragon throne, unwilling to give up the feeling of being high above.

But now he also understood that he'd fallen asleep in the throne room a few times, and had to leave early due to an attack from his head. The crowd of officials had long since criticized him.

Huo Ni Lin opened the box on the table and took out an imperial edict, "The testamentary edict has long been written by us. Shang Qiuyuan, come and read it out for me."

Shang Qiuyuan took the testamentary edict and opened it to read, "Under the will of the heavens, the emperor decrees that the empress Ji Tian Ning is intelligent and virtuous, that she is the daughter of a god, and that she will ascend to the nine heavens as her mother. "The empress is already pregnant, so if she gives birth to a prince, she'll be made a crown prince. If Zhen has a great career, she'll be made a new monarch …"

"The Emperor is wise."

The officials kowtowed. With this testamentary edict, they were relieved.

"My dear sirs, I shall entrust the matters of the nation and my son to you in the future. "Shang Qiuyuan, since you are the Guardian King and the Empress's sworn brother, there are many things that need to be done. Please do not disappoint me."

Shang Qiuyuan fell to his knees. "Your Majesty, please rest assured. This humble subject has received a great favor from the emperor. I shall do my best to assist the Empress and the Crown Prince."

He reached out and grabbed Shang Qiuyuan's hand, supporting him up. After staring at him for a long time, he said, "Qiuyuan, don't forget the vow you made in front of me, the Southern Champion, the Empress, and my son. We will hand it over to you."

"Your Majesty, this subject does not dare to forget the vows I made in the past. I will definitely assist Your Highness in growing up." When His Highness grows up, this subject will still rule over him and he will hide in the mountains. "

"In that case, I'll thank you."

"This subject does not dare to disrespect you. This subject shall do his duty."

Huo Ni Lin's gaze dimmed as he swept his gaze across the faces of the crowd of officials: "My beloved officials, you are all my courtiers, ministers in charge of the Southern Champion. In the future, I would like to invite you, my beloved officials, to do your best to assist me as if I were here."

"This subject and others dared to not do their best, to serve the emperor, to serve the Southern Champion. To assist the empress and princess, please be at ease, Your Majesty."

"This is very good. From tomorrow onwards, I will not be going to the imperial court. All important matters have been decided by my beloved officials after some deliberation. If there are any hesitations, we will listen to the commands of the Emperor."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

In the end of September of the year 346, the Emperor Shang Qiuyuan, the Prime Minister of Emperor Shang Qiuyuan, was no longer ill. At this point, Prime Minister Shang Qiuyuan, the Prime Minister of Southern Champion Kingdom, had great national affairs. He held great authority over the Southern Champion Kingdom and became the successor to the Nine Heavens Palace, the one with the surname of Southern Champion that held even greater power than the Nine Heavens Palace.

Military authority, as well as power, had fallen into the hands of Shang Qiuyuan, replacing the Emperor to preside over the morning imperial court.

After Shang Qiuyuan gained power, he spared no effort to carry out the ten national policies, severely punish corrupt officials, exterminate the outlaws, and make the Southern Champion the most secure country among the other countries. People from all over the country came to vote.

The Imperial Examinations selection system recruited a large number of talents, and in a short period of time, the Southern Champion quickly gathered a large number of talents, gradually becoming more and more powerful.

Ji Tian Ning had even set up public schools to promote universal education. Due to limited conditions, she started out as an official public school in the prefectures, accepting local children of appropriate age and sending special people to teach. In Ji Tian Ning's words, education should be taken from a child.

Due to his own specialization, Ji Tian Ning was the first to set up a clinic in Zu Long Xing to train medical personnel and doctors. She had the Imperial Physician Guild send someone to teach her medical skills and train doctors.

After that, in the name of the government, they also established a medical clinic in various places to recruit local doctors to conduct medical examinations. They also recruited apprentices to popularize common medicine and treat the common people.

One of the most shocking policies in the country was that minor officials from all over the country would apply a system of referral, which would be put forward by the public for a three-month trial, if they qualified to continue their appointments. Every year, we examine the official voice and political achievements, and if anyone is found to be unqualified, he or she shall immediately resign and be re-elected by the local people, and shall be appointed as appropriate after investigation.

This policy shocked the entire world. It changed the rule that the officials of the various families had drawn up from the nobles, wealthy families, and official families.

Of course, there were also many people who disagreed. Although the official positions were small, they were still local officials who could be of great use to the development of the region.

Ji Tian Ning encouraged the imperial examinations to select talents and return to her hometown to work for the benefit of her village. The first batch of public schools and medical institutions were set up in Zu Long City, and quickly spread to all parts of the Southern Champion Kingdom.

Shang Qiuyuan also ordered all over Fengyuan to respond to the call to pursue Ji Tian Ning's welfare policies such as public schools and medical institutions.

The introduction of these systems greatly benefited the people, and there was a wave of praise.

The influence and aftereffects of the Ten National Policies were extremely far-reaching. When the first autumn of war arrived, the world was brimming with the joyous celebration of a good harvest. The Southern Champion was located in the south. After the war, this was already the second harvest. Food filled the warehouse, melon fruits covered the ground, and there were no more hungry corpses or refugees. The citizens' faces were completely devoid of hunger.

Because of the distribution of seeds and tools in the spring, encouraging farming, and the resettlement of refugees, a large area of formerly deserted land was reclaimed and cultivated as a fertile land.

Ji Tian Ning had proposed irrigation law, scientific farming law, and other systems. Together with the exemption of taxes, the benefits to the people were enormous. When the people of other countries saw that Nanke had become more and more stable, and that many people had migrated to her, they had also obtained the rights to land and farm.

After the introduction of the reporting system, a large number of talented people of all kinds were recruited. Ji Tian Ning did not only take out civil and military subjects, but also set up subjects such as agriculture, industry and commerce.

After the implementation of the reporting system and the supervision system, there shall be outlaws and corrupt officials everywhere, and reports may be made directly at a higher level, and rewards shall be given after the investigation has been confirmed to be true.

With the introduction of this policy, the imperial court was in a state of purity. The overweening arrogance of the nobles everywhere was suppressed. Many nobles who were previously out of law had their families expropriated and their property confiscated. The heavy ones were jailed and convicted according to the law, while the light ones were exiled and deposed as civilians.

Thus, the Iron Hand Queen's name was spread throughout the countries.

After an early morning, the Fire Ni Lin quietly arrived at the throne room. He looked at the empty throne room with a myriad of emotions, then once again sat on the throne and looked down at the throne room. His heart was filled with infinite disappointment and unwillingness.

He really wanted to be able to sit here and watch the officials prostrate themselves like before. He really thought about how he could use his own hands to control everything, control the Southern Champion Kingdom, and even unify the world.

However, all of this was getting further and further away from him.

"How kind is the True God to treat me? I'm not even thirty this year, not even thirty!"

The throne room that was dazzling in gold and jade was so empty that it caused people to panic. The jade white steps led to a lonely courtyard. The reverse fire scale stretched out its hand, wanting to grab onto something, but it couldn't. Even if he was extremely unwilling, he could only suffer the torture.

Within the Green Moonflower Palace, the Begonia looked worriedly at the reverse scale of fire. Although she didn't know that the time was running out, she could tell that the reverse scale's condition had become even more serious.

"Your majesty, why hasn't the Emperor's dragon body improved?"

"Begonia, I will lose to you, and I will lose to you. "To this day, we still have not given you a title. We will give you a name."

"Your majesty's words are too harsh. Your concubine is already satisfied to be able to stay by your side and serve you. Your concubine doesn't care."

Huo Ni Lin smiled gently, "It's not that I don't want to give you and my son the title, but the empress has already made arrangements for this matter. She will definitely give you and my son the name. It was best to hand this matter over to the Empress. "Begonia, I can't hide it from you anymore now. I'm nearing my end."

"Clank …"

The teacup in Qiuxiu's hand fell to the ground, her face immediately becoming deathly pale. Her body swayed a few times as she grabbed onto the sleeves of the Flaming Devil Scale and knelt on the ground. "Your majesty, your majesty, don't say it like that. Chenqie, chenqie …"

Tears rolled down his face. He already had a bad omen in his heart, but once he heard Fire Reversal Scale's words, it was like he was struck by lightning.

"Your majesty, that won't happen. The Empress is the daughter of a god and also a genius doctor. She definitely has a way to save the emperor."

"Begonia, I've been hiding this from you for too long because I don't want you to worry. Now that my days are almost up, I can't hide it from you anymore." This is heaven's will, the Queen has no choice but to send me into the Sacred Land, perhaps there will be a chance in the future. It is just that I no longer hold any hope that the true God did not respond the last time I paid homage to the holy land. For example, I, am disrespectful to the true God, and the true God will not protect me. "

"Your Majesty …"

The Begonia's tears fell like rain as she knelt at the feet of the reverse scale and tightly held onto its legs.

Huo Ni Lin stretched out his hand and pulled the Begonia into his embrace, using an unprecedented gentle attitude to wipe away the tears on the Begonia's face. However, the tears gushed out along with it.

"In the future, just listen to the empress's arrangements and instructions. Begonia, you must remember, do not fight for anything and just quietly raise my child here. Do not have any other thoughts. The empress's influence has spread throughout the imperial court and is not something you can go against. Do not do anything excessive, and put yourself and your son in danger. "

"Your majesty, chenqie understands that chenqie has no other requests but to raise the child for you."

"That was great. Your actions in the past were always cautious. As long as everything goes according to the Empress's orders, Ning'er will treat you and your son well."

"Chenqie shall obey."

"Begonia, in the future, I won't be able to accompany you and my son. Since the harem has been lonely for so many years, I'll have to inconvenience you and my son."

"Your majesty, I am not wronged, chenqie …"

Without saying another word, the Begonia grabbed onto Huo Ni Lin and sobbed in a low voice.

In the imperial study, Huo Ni Lin was somewhat exhausted as he sat on a chair. A few people respectfully stood on both sides of him as they carefully peeked at his expression.

"An Ling Cyan Mist, you have followed me for over ten years. When you followed me, you were only a child."

"Your Majesty, everything that happened in the past was just like yesterday, this subject has never forgotten a single moment. This humble subject only hates that the emperor should treat this subject with such kindness, and cannot take revenge on the emperor just in case. "

An Ling QingLan knelt down with tears in her eyes.

"Wude, you have been following the late emperor since he was young, and then followed me as well. It has been more than twenty years now."

"Your majesty, this servant, the Emperor, does not abandon me. This servant is highly valued and always has thoughts of going through fire and water for the Emperor."

Wu De also knelt down.

"Han Xing, you're an old general as well. Your father and brother have always followed the late emperor and me. Until now, you're still by my side."

"Your Majesty, this humble subject is willing to die for Your Majesty.
