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

Within two days, news of the discovery of the underground palace of the Ao Kingdom spread, and it was said that it contained all the history of the Ao Kingdom.

His Majesty of Zhao Kingdom intends to compile the history of Ao Kingdom and present it to the world.

Many people are intrigued by the legendary Ao Kingdom, which is only mentioned briefly in books.

Of course, most of these are educated people.

Ordinary people naturally don't have the time or inclination to know those things; they only care about whether they can have enough to eat tomorrow and whether they will freeze to death in winter.

However, the people of Zhao Kingdom were intrigued by the news that some agricultural tools, crop cultivation methods, and poultry and livestock breeding methods had been discovered in the underground palace.

"It won't be long before the imperial court distributes new farming tools."

"Rumor has it that His Majesty has also arranged for people to cultivate superior varieties. I wonder if some high-yield seeds have been discovered in the underground palace."

"Legend has it that the current palace was once the summer palace of the Kingdom of Ao, but there are too few records about the Kingdom of Ao, and so much time has passed, so at first no one believed it. Everyone had some doubts about whether the Kingdom of Ao even existed, since there were really too few records about it."

"I didn't expect it to be true."

"It's true. I have a relative who works in the palace. Her family told me that the underground palace is full of murals and texts, all of which are records about the Ao Kingdom."

"We'll find out the details once everything related to Ao Kingdom is reproduced. We can just go to the bookstore to buy it then."

"The current imperial palace has witnessed four dynasties, yet only our Great Zhao Emperor discovered the Ao Kingdom's underground palace. This truly is the mandate of heaven!"

"The founding emperor of the Ao Kingdom was also a legendary woman."

"This must be fate, it's not surprising when you think about it."

Of course, it was A-Zhuang who released the information from all sides.

She had originally planned to make the relevant information about Ao Kingdom available to everyone in the world once it was compiled.

"Aunt, does the Kingdom of Ao really exist?" Xie Nuo was surprised and curious when she heard that the underground palace of the Kingdom of Ao had been discovered, especially when she remembered that the founding emperor of the Kingdom of Ao had started from an ordinary peasant woman and was full of legends.

Unfortunately, there was very little information about Ao Kingdom, leading her to suspect that someone had deliberately destroyed Ao Kingdom's records, fearing that the women there would become more formidable.

The relevant materials have indeed been almost completely destroyed, but a legendary country that once existed will still leave its mark on history.

Take her aunt, for example. Her ability to stand up at crucial moments was more or less influenced by Ao Guo.

When she transmigrated to this world, she felt that although it was an ancient world with many restrictions on women, anyone who knew about the women of the Ao Kingdom would feel a certain longing for it.

“It does exist. Once the contents of the underground palace are sorted out, you can all go and see it,” Azhen said. “I’ll take you on a tour of the underground palace then. The murals inside are quite nice. They have a collection of poems and calligraphy from the Ao Kingdom period, which you should find interesting.”

Xie Nuo wasn't really interested in poetry or literature; she wasn't exactly a refined person.

But her education also taught her that these things were treasures, very precious.

Besides, she has a young man at home who is interested in this kind of thing. He might like it. When the study is ready, she will buy some books and bring them back for Qinglan to see.

Xie Kui wasn't interested in poetry or lyrics, but he was very fond of military strategy and martial arts.

"Aunt, are there any military strategies or martial arts manuals inside?" Xie Kui asked.

Azhen smiled and said, "Yes, I'll send you a copy later. Study it carefully; the military strategies passed down from Ao Kingdom are indeed quite good."

"Thank you, Auntie." Xie Kui was delighted. Her aunt really knew what she liked. In this regard, she was more supportive than her parents. Because of her aunt, even if her parents had some headaches, they wouldn't interfere too much.

Xie Ping's interest, of course, stemmed from her interest in poetry, calligraphy, and paintings.

“Some of the poems inside have been circulated, which may cause upheaval in the literary world,” Azhen said. She didn’t know how the records of Ao Kingdom were destroyed, as it was too long ago and there were no records of it, but she knew why this underground palace appeared.

The answer is obvious: it's because of her.

Because it was so long ago, some people actually plagiarized the poems and articles of the literati of the Ao Kingdom era, claimed them as their own, and even became famous. Some of them even had descendants at that time.

The first one to be affected was Zhou Huo, a descendant of a great Confucian scholar, who had a dispute with Xie Nuo after Azhen transmigrated to this world. His family had been a scholarly family for generations. He was aloof and outspoken, and relying on his family background, he was quite fearless. In addition, his family had a strong foundation and a clean and honest family style, so it was really hard for anyone to find fault with him.

Zhou held a high position among scholars; it could be said that a single word from him could inspire many intellectuals.

Unfortunately, the other party's ancestors had plagiarized the works of the Ao Kingdom's literati.

If this matter gets out, you can imagine that the entire Zhou family will be unable to hold their heads up high.

Azhen was happy to see this scene, as the Zhou family was the one that least wanted women to study and participate in court affairs.

Zhou not only did not support women studying to enter the court, but also did not want more people to participate, though she did not say it explicitly.

To this day, the Zhou family members possess a great many books, which obviously cannot be made public, as it involves the interests of the entire Zhou family.

Once these things become known to ordinary people, and they gain wisdom, study, and enter the imperial court, the Zhou family may fade into obscurity within two generations.

The client's initial establishment of the girls' academy to enlighten and educate women revealed Zhou's intentions. If women could all receive education, sooner or later all commoners might follow this path—how could a family like Zhou's not be alarmed?

Unless the emperor is completely irrational, he wouldn't only give opportunities to women; he would definitely give opportunities to everyone in the world.

When Xie Nuo later ascended the throne, Zhou was initially quite nervous.

What happened next was quite amusing. The Zhou clan actually supported Xie Nuo's absurd actions, flattering her to the point of elation. The initial conflict had turned into the Zhou clan becoming a trusted force for Xie Nuo – it was almost laughable.

The wishes of the natural trustees were not fulfilled by Xie Nuo.

The girls' college, painstakingly built up over many years, has long been defunct due to Xie Nuo's forgetfulness and the insincere resistance of his subordinates.

To eliminate the female college, there's no need for overt crackdowns; simply devise a way to ensure there are no female students in the college, and the problem will be solved naturally.

If even the emperor himself doesn't know these things, who can care?

Many people are already dissatisfied with this matter, so why not use it as an opportunity to suppress others and profit from it?

What is even more heartbreaking is that the girls' colleges that accept women from poor families are not there to study, but rather to be trained by certain forces to be used as playthings for others.

How can this not be called popularity?
Over time, ordinary people became indifferent to women's colleges, seeing them only as cannibalistic places.

Regardless of the original intention of establishing girls' colleges, the people who suffered losses only knew that this was not a good place, that people were preyed upon there, and that they should not send their daughters there, as it would ruin their lives.

Shenuo was unaware of all this because at first she was immersed in entanglements with several men, and later her power was gradually usurped.

If she had known from the beginning, she might have been willing to do something, but she lacked the ability to control these things, which was a mistake. (End of Chapter)
