With the cannon fodder script in hand, it is easy for the king to change his fate

Azhen also learned from Yuanqi that Xie Kui and Xie Nuo finally realized that Xie Ping was acting strangely and planned to go to Wen Aoge to find out what was going on.

"Xie Nuo hasn't noticed Seventeen's existence yet, has he?" A-Zhou asked, remembering this matter.

Yuan Qi said, "Princess Nuo has not had any accidents so far, so Seventeen has been protecting her secretly and has not shown his face."

In fact, besides Seventeen, there was another bodyguard specifically assigned to assist him. Bodyguards are human too; they need to eat, drink, and relieve themselves, and it's impossible for them to stay by Xie Nuo's side all the time without ever going anywhere. However, this person's job was to run errands, deliver messages, and fill in for Seventeen when he was unavailable; basically, he followed Seventeen's orders.

Azhen was just asking casually; she didn't know when Xie Nuo found out about having bodyguards protecting him.

The client hadn't paid attention to this before, and Seventeen hadn't reported it to her either. Actually, Seventeen should have reported it to the client after her identity was exposed, but there must have been some reason for that.

Azhen didn't dwell on the matter. She glanced at the completed memorial in front of her and waved for the people around her to take it away.

Having dealt with most of her business for the day, she remembered the map she had obtained in the underground palace of the Ao Kingdom and casually took it out to examine it.

This map basically depicts the general landscape of Canglan; to be precise, this map should be attributed to her.

However, the painting also depicted a gray rabbit running towards a palace, which struck her as odd. Most importantly, there was a figure clearly standing on the palace wall, as if waiting for the gray rabbit's arrival.

In fact, based on everything that had appeared in the underground palace of the Ao Kingdom, she had already guessed what it was about.

Does this scene foreshadow that one day a gray rabbit will come to the palace to find her?
Don’t know when it is?
She couldn't help but guess that this gray rabbit was no ordinary creature to become the mascot of Ao Kingdom; otherwise, she wouldn't have chosen a rabbit as her mascot and given it such a high status in Ao Kingdom.

Let's make another deeper speculation: if this gray rabbit is not ordinary and has lived for thousands of years, was it the one that supplemented the information in the Ao Kingdom's underground palace?
As this thought settled in her mind, A-Zhu felt a sense of certainty.

It seems that it really is possible.

One thing that remains unclear is why the gray rabbit had to hide and why it was assigned this task.

But she believed that she would find the answer here later.

After all, the events here led to the events of the Kingdom of Ao, and she hadn't even established that Kingdom of Ao yet.

The gray rabbit hasn't appeared yet; perhaps it's just not the right time.

"Your Majesty, is there something wrong with this map?" Yuan Qi brought over tea and saw Azhen staring blankly at the map. He couldn't help but ask, "This terrain doesn't seem to be within the territory of Zhao Kingdom. If Your Majesty wants to find out, perhaps you should arrange for someone to search for it."

Azhen gently shook her head: "No need, this place should not be found."

This is the scenery of the Canglan Realm, which is not even in this world, so how could it possibly be found?

Upon hearing this, Yuan Qi didn't bring up the matter again.

"Since the discovery of the Ao Kingdom's underground palace, many books have been placed in the Wen'ao Pavilion for people to read. Now, scholars know about the scenery of Ao Kingdom, and His Majesty's series of policies have been much smoother." Yuan Qi said, her words filled with joy. What pleased her most was the women's imperial examination. Starting next year, women will be able to officially participate in the imperial examination.

Yuan Qi didn't care about preferential treatment or not. She believed that no woman in the world had ever dared to ask for any special treatment or favoritism in this regard. As long as they had the opportunity, they would be happy even if they had to compete with many men. If in previous years His Majesty had unconsciously tried to favor women and give them some preferential treatment, many things were indeed difficult for women of this era. But this year, at some point, His Majesty seemed to have abandoned that idea. In the past few months, he had become more decisive in his actions and less hesitant.

There's almost no difference between men and women; everyone has the opportunity, but whether they can seize it depends on their own abilities.

Many courtiers felt that some of His Majesty's actions were like putting a few rabbits into a tiger's territory to survive.

Some people underestimate women. They only lack an opportunity; their intelligence and abilities are in no way inferior to men's. Both sides have their strengths, and it's truly impossible for one to completely dominate the other.

After a few months, Yuan Qi thought it was a good thing; the women who were recently promoted were clearly growing very quickly.

As long as His Majesty is here, anyone willing to seize the opportunity, whether male or female, can obtain what they desire.

Azhen smiled. The matter of women taking the imperial examinations was something the client had been thinking about for a long time, as evidenced by her establishment of the girls' academy. However, participating in the imperial examinations was not something that could be accomplished overnight. Not to mention women from poor families, even women from wealthy families were not many who studied deeply.

During her reign, she did indeed implement the imperial examination system for women. At that time, there were only two or three women who stood out, which was extremely rare. Their rankings were not high, but they were not far behind either, and they all successfully entered the court as officials.

If the client were healthy and lived ten more years, things would definitely be different.

Unfortunately, she couldn't hold on. Xie Nuo ascended the throne, and a series of events led to the complete destruction of the client's carefully laid plans. Due to the circumstances, it was extremely difficult for an ordinary person like an emperor to orchestrate all of this.

It's really a pity.

"How are the seeds from before?" A-Zhu thought of this matter. Not long ago, the seeds of grain and fruit trees probably hadn't even grown yet.

That's what she asked.

Vegetable seeds have been effective, after all, vegetables have a short growing season.

A month ago, she ate the newly grown vegetables. Since they were produced in the growing space, they were naturally of excellent quality.

The vegetables have already been planted on a large scale, and we are preparing to harvest the seeds for distribution in the future. Of course, we also need to consider the climate and soil conditions of each region. These things cannot be accomplished in a short time.

Fortunately, the seeds that A-Zhu brought out were adapted to the soil and water of various places. What the people below had to do was to experiment and find out the appropriate planting methods for these seeds.

“They look to be growing well, and some have already borne fruit, but we can’t see the results until they are ripe,” Yuan Qi replied. Then she remembered something else: “The poultry and livestock breeding methods unearthed from the underground palace of Ao Kingdom are already being tried. If they are really as recorded, it will be a great joy for Zhao Kingdom.”

Azhen nodded. The underground palace of Ao Kingdom contained many well-preserved books related to agriculture.

She's really good to me. With this underground palace, I don't even need to find any excuses to take things out anymore.

Moreover, this was something that had been successfully implemented in a thousand-year-old dynasty, and its implementation proceeded smoothly. (End of Chapter)
