Chapter 311 Return to the DPRK
"Your Majesty, the Queen is a member of the harem and cannot participate in politics!"
"I didn't intend to let the Queen participate in politics, but most of these women's affairs are handled by the Queen. Qinglian was also sent out by the Queen's side. She has made such a great contribution. I think the Queen should handle this matter for the time being."
"But this... doesn't make sense..."
"What's appropriate or inappropriate about it? You said before that it was against the rules for women to be officials, but now they are doing a good job!"
Xu Jiaoran sat on the dragon throne, and the glory and mystery in the palace that day were intertwined.
The unusual aura was so frightening that the court officials whispered to each other, not daring to say much.
The queen has always been behind the scenes, dominating the prosperity inside and outside the harem. Today's changes will inevitably cause a storm of power.
"Your Majesty, please think twice," a civil official said in fear and trepidation, "The harem is not allowed to interfere in government affairs. This is a rule that has been passed down from generation to generation. How can Your Majesty sit in this golden palace?"
His tone was filled with anxiety and worry, and there was a tremor in his voice.
Emperor Li Zhen smiled faintly, but his eyes were full of confidence and determination: "No need to say more, my lords. General Qinglian is an outstanding person around the queen. She can help me stabilize the world, which is a great achievement. The queen is happy for her, so it is not a bad idea to help me deal with this matter for the time being."
Xu Jiaoran took over the right to speak. Her voice was like the wind sliding over the strings of a musical instrument, soft but firm: "My Lords, you are all the pillars of the country, but women's affairs are mostly handled by women. It may be inconvenient for you to deal with General Qinglian. At this moment, it is not a bad idea for me to temporarily take over."
The court officials looked at each other in dismay. Although they were dissatisfied and doubtful, they could not find a suitable reason to refute. They knew the wisdom and decisiveness of the queen, and they also knew that General Qinglian's achievements were extraordinary. For a moment, the palace was silent, and only the voices of the emperor and the queen echoed in the air.
However, Xu Jiaoran's participation in politics was not an impulsive act. She had a bigger blueprint and a more far-reaching vision in her heart. She knew that women's power and wisdom in politics should not be underestimated, and she understood the double-edged sword nature of power. Therefore, she decided to use the delicacy and warmth of women to change the country.
"Please rest assured," Xu Jiaoran continued, "I will be fair and impartial. I will handle General Qinglian's achievements properly and will never let the country suffer. When General Qinglian's merits are rewarded, I will return to the harem."
Her words were gentle but firm as a heart of stone, revealing unquestionable authority and courage. Her eyes seemed to be burning with love for the country and concern for the people, which attracted and shocked all the court officials.
However, this was just the beginning. Xu Jiaoran began to interfere in government affairs in the name of the queen, but she did not return to the harem as easily as everyone expected. She used her feminine wisdom and tenderness to handle the major and minor affairs of the country, making the originally rigid government full of vitality and vigor.
……
On the day when General Qinglian returned victoriously, the whole capital city was bustling with cheers.
It was like a spring breeze that awakened the sleeping earth. For a moment, the whole city was prosperous like a dream, and laughter and joy were heard everywhere.
General Qinglian's reputation has spread throughout the world, and his return to the capital today has set off an unstoppable wave of enthusiasm.
At dawn, the sky was dyed orange and red, and the streets and alleys of the capital were already bustling. People rushed out of their homes just to see the style of this brave female general. Qinglian was wearing armor and riding on a tall horse with a heroic look. Her eyes were firm and deep, as if they could penetrate all the noise and expectations.
The gate of the capital slowly opened, and the magnificent momentum of welcoming a distinguished guest made people hold their breath. As the sound of horse hooves approached, the group of female soldiers riding on horses finally appeared in everyone's sight. Their armor shone brightly in the sun, like goddesses on the battlefield.
At this moment, Qinglian was riding a tall horse, with the light of war flashing on his armor, like a dazzling star in the sky.
On both sides of the street, women cheered one after another. The ribbons in their hands fluttered in the wind, as if they were applauding and blessing General Qinglian. Some women were so excited that they burst into tears, while others shouted Qinglian's name loudly, as if they wanted to spread her heroic deeds throughout the capital.
"General Qinglian, you are truly the pride of us women!"
A woman shouted loudly, her voice like a sharp sword, piercing through the noise of the crowd. Her eyes were shining with admiration and respect, as if she was expressing her infinite respect for General Qinglian.
"The general is extremely brave and would risk his life for the safety of the people."
Another woman shouted, not to be outdone. Her voice was filled with firm conviction and high respect, as if she was telling of General Qinglian's greatness and selflessness.
When General Qinglian heard these cheers and words of praise, he couldn't help but feel a warm feeling in his heart.
She turned around and smiled and saluted the women who cheered for her. Her eyes were full of gratitude and determination, as if telling them that she would always fight for the safety of the people and the prosperity of the country.
However, behind this prosperity and bustle, there are so many bitterness and tears. The blood and fire, tears and pain in the war, at this moment, turned into Qinglian's inner determination and persistence. She knew that everything she did was for the peace and happiness of the people.
"General Qinglian, you are a hero in our hearts."
An elderly man said with emotion. His eyes were full of awe and gratitude, as if he was describing the greatness and selflessness of General Qinglian.
General Qinglian nodded slightly, she knew her mission was not yet complete. She would continue to protect the people of this land with her wisdom and courage.
There were cheers from the crowd. The women waved their colorful flags and flowers, their faces filled with pride and admiration. They believed that it was because of female generals like Qinglian that women could stand up straight in this world and live out their own style.
"Mom, I also want to learn martial arts and become a female general like General Qinglian in the future."
A little girl tugged at her mother's clothes, with a determined light in her eyes.
Her mother gently stroked her head, her eyes full of tenderness and expectation: "Okay, okay, I'll let you learn martial arts."
On the other side, those comrades who had fought alongside Qinglian were also very excited.
They have witnessed Qinglian's growth from an ordinary woman to the female general she is today, and have also witnessed the women's bravery and fearlessness on the battlefield. Now that they see Qinglian's return, their hearts are filled with infinite longing and hope for the future.
Qinglian watched all this with deep emotion. She knew that every victory she had was inseparable from the people who supported and believed in her. She felt that everything she did was worth it because she saw the changes and growth of the women. They no longer just depended on men to live, but bravely pursued their dreams and ideals.
"General Qinglian!" someone shouted, followed by a round of warm applause and cheers. Qinglian smiled and waved her hand in response. She knew this was just the beginning and there was still a long way to go. But she believed that as long as everyone worked together, the country would become better and stronger.
Amidst the laughter and joy, General Qinglian slowly walked into the gate of the capital. Her figure looked even taller and more majestic in the afterglow of the setting sun.
