Poverty Alleviation in Qin: A Sky-High Review of "I Am the Female Prime Minister of All Time&qu

Upon hearing these words, Xiao He felt a shiver run through his body and immediately knelt heavily on the ground. He hurriedly reached out and tugged at Song Ye's clothes.

He wanted to drag the leader down with him to kneel and worship.

He tugged at it, but the person didn't budge.

Even after pulling hard again, Song still didn't budge.

Xiao He nervously peeked up and saw his master looking up at the sky. His face had only shown a hint of surprise when the strange phenomenon first appeared, but now he was back to normal, his expression so calm that it showed no emotion whatsoever.

This composure was by no means a deliberate act.

No wonder he's a leader; his composure and calmness alone are far beyond what ordinary people can match.

Little did Xiao He know that Song Ye's thoughts had already wandered far, far away.

There was no warning before the system went into hibernation, so what happened?

What exactly is that thing playing videos in the sky right now?

Xiao He knelt on the ground, then tentatively tugged at Song Ye's sleeve, lowering his voice to ask, "My lord, you...you won't kneel?"

Song Ye glanced down at him and said, "Why are you kneeling for no reason? You didn't come here for us."

I think so?

Is this just going to be a perfunctory response?

...

At the summit of Mount Tai, the mountain wind howls.

The sky, stretching across the heavens, shimmered with dazzling light, its golden glow spreading across the mountains.

All the officials looked up, their expressions blank, speechless.

What are these celestial beings saying about this strange phenomenon? How can someone live as high as an emperor?

Zhao Gao was the first to lose his temper and immediately shouted, "How dare you speak so recklessly! How dare you claim that someone is above His Majesty? This is clearly treason!" As he spoke, he pointed to the light screen in the sky, his body trembling uncontrollably, it was hard to tell whether it was from rage or fear.

The civil and military officials stood still, none of them moving.

The senior officials exchanged glances, their faces filled with disdain.

Li Si coldly observed Zhao Gao jumping around, secretly thinking to himself: This man is truly always thinking about flattery and sycophancy.

The sky before him had never mentioned His Majesty in the slightest, so his eagerness to jump out and shout was truly laughable.

Seeing this, Li Si grew somewhat impatient.

I really want to kick this eunuch down the mountain.

Zhao Gao continued his incessant rant: "Such a scoundrel who spreads heresy and misleads the masses should have his entire family exterminated! Investigate this person's background immediately!"

Throughout the entire process, Ying Zheng's gaze remained firmly fixed on the sky.

Thoughts surged within me: Today is the Fengshan ceremony at Mount Tai, and such an extraordinary phenomenon has descended from the heavens. It must be that Heaven is looking out for the Qin Dynasty, and that a celestial being from beyond the world has appeared to give a decree.

Zhao Gao's voice was dry and hoarse from shouting. He secretly glanced at the emperor's back and, seeing that the emperor had no reaction, his voice involuntarily lowered.

The surrounding officials watched coldly, feeling utterly mocked.

Ying Zheng frowned slightly: "Enough!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Gao's shouts stopped abruptly, as if a chicken had been choked.

"Do not disturb the immortals."

"Yes... Your Majesty is wise." Zhao Gao forced a fawning smile, looking more like he was crying.

All eyes turned once again to that mysterious sky.

And yet, this person is still a woman.

Above the sky, golden light exploded out with a deafening roar.

A figure slowly emerged from the depths of the golden light.

He wore a bright red official robe, as fiery as a burning flame, which billowed wildly in the wind. His long hair was tied up high, with a warm jade hairpin running across his hair bun.

The woman lowered her eyes and walked at a moderate pace, each step landing on flowing golden patterns, as if she were treading through thousands of years, step by step walking before the world.

Behind her, countless achievements surged forth like a tidal wave, line after line of gilded characters covering the entire sky:

[Initiating the Imperial Examinations], [Constructing Water Conservancy Projects], [Suppressing Border Disturbances], [Establishing Community Granaries]

Papermaking, movable type printing, stirrups, and iron smelting furnaces.

Tutor to Five Dynasties Emperors, Head of All Officials, Female Prime Minister, and Leading Figure in Economic Development

...and countless other achievements.

Each character was as majestic as a mountain, falling heavily from the top of the sky and disappearing behind her in an instant, while new golden characters continued to emerge.

The words overlapped in layers, and golden light enveloped them in layers, stretching all the way to the ends of the earth, with no end in sight.

The woman's voice in mid-air suddenly rose in pitch, abandoning its previous gentle and casual tone, each word ringing out powerfully, resounding across the vast land:

Now, approaching you is—

[Without royal blood, without a noble family background, without any powerful backing, he rose from humble beginnings in the muddy countryside, alone and unassuming.]

[He had no sons to carry on the family line, yet his disciples were scattered throughout the land, his students filled the court, and he served as a regent for his ancestors generation after generation.]

She served five generations of Qin emperors, acting as their teacher and prime minister. Historians of successive dynasties made an exception for her, writing her a separate biography, which garnered more space in official histories than many other emperors.

She was a master of many schools of thought: a top-tier statesman, a reformer who innovated systems, and a diplomat who navigated the world. She mastered the essence of Legalism, Confucianism, eclecticism, the School of Diplomacy, and the School of Names, integrating them seamlessly and applying them to her own purposes.

Good governance ensures the peace and stability of a county and the nation!

Reform solidifies the foundation and ensures stability for millennia!

[In diplomacy, eloquence is powerful and decisive, never disgracing the nation's prestige!]

She initiated the imperial examination system, breaking the monopoly of aristocratic families; she promoted water conservancy, benefiting fertile fields for generations; and she revised the Qin laws, ensuring a balanced approach of leniency and severity, and a clear and just legal system...

It is common knowledge that the Qin Dynasty should have perished after only two generations, its reign short-lived.

[But because of her alone, the mighty Qin Dynasty escaped its short-lived fate and stood tall for a thousand years!]

[Later historical records concluded that Qin's thousand-year reign was largely due to the contributions of the Song Dynasty's prime minister.]

She lived to be 120 years old, spending half her life assisting the ruler and the rest of her life bringing peace and prosperity to the people.

On the day of her passing, the entire court wept before the palace, and the people of the land spontaneously lined the streets to keep vigil. Later emperors of the Qin Dynasty suspended court for three days in her honor, offering sacrifices generation after generation, and revering her as a divine reverence for the state.

Her works, such as "Collection of Song Dynasty Prime Ministers" and "Admonitions for Officials," have been essential reading for officials for over a thousand years. Officials throughout history would read them before assuming office, and her words and actions shaped the political landscape for two millennia.

The systems she established—the imperial examination system, the granary system, the water conservancy system, and the supervisory system—were used by the Qin Dynasty for a thousand years without a single word being abolished and passed down from generation to generation.

[Throughout the millennia of the Qin Dynasty, every new emperor, upon ascending the throne, would first pay homage to the Song Chancellor, respecting his legacy and upholding his national policies. All affairs of state and the realm followed his laws and regulations, ensuring peace and stability for the world, all thanks to his legacy.]

[Emperors throughout history have regarded her as a role model, placing her memorial tablet in imperial temples alongside Jiang Ziya, where she enjoys eternal incense offerings.]

She was the head of all officials, a pillar of the nation, a prime minister of the state, the unparalleled first female prime minister in Chinese history, and also the most perfect person in the Qin Dynasty, the first sage in history!

Her name resonates throughout the Qin Dynasty for a millennium and is imprinted on the Chinese nation for ten thousand years.

She is—Song Ye!

In the scene, the woman in the red robe slowly raises her eyes.

Her eyes were as calm as a deep, ancient well, without the slightest ripple, yet they seemed to pierce through thousands of years, looking directly at everyone under the sky who looked up at her.

The summit of Mount Tai, the streets and alleys of Pei County, the Great Wall of Northern Xinjiang, the capital city of Xianyang...

Across the entire land of Qin, everyone held their breath, and the world became so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
