Chapter 693 War

When the woman saw Lin Yue wake up, she showed a look of surprise on her face: "Miss, you finally woke up, but I was so anxious!" Lin Yue was full of doubts. Before she could ask, the woman said to herself: "Miss, you fell off the horse and were in a coma for several days. Everyone was really worried." Lin Yue realized that she might have traveled through time. She pretended to be calm and listened to the woman's story. She roughly understood that her current identity was Su Yao, the daughter of General Zhenyuan, who accidentally fell off the horse and was injured during a horseback ride. Lin Yue knew that she had to act cautiously in this strange era. She began to try to adapt to Su Yao's identity, learn ancient etiquette norms, and secretly observe everything around her. As time went by, she found that this dynasty seemed peaceful, but in fact it was undercurrents. The emperor was becoming increasingly incompetent, the party disputes in the court continued, and the people were also suffering from heavy taxes. A sense of mission surged in Lin Yue's heart, and she decided to use the historical knowledge she had learned to change the fate of this era. However, it is not easy for a woman to make a difference in this society where men are superior to women. But Lin Yue did not back down. Relying on Su Yao's identity, she began to make friends with some knowledgeable people, asking them for advice on how to govern the country, and also sharing with them some advanced ideas she brought from the modern era. By chance, Lin Yue learned that the emperor was going to hold a court banquet and invite ministers and their families to attend. Lin Yue realized that this was a good opportunity to show herself. She prepared carefully. At the banquet, when everyone was reciting poems and painting, Lin Yue ingeniously put forward some novel ideas on improving people's livelihood and developing the economy, which attracted the attention of everyone present. The emperor also became interested in this unique woman and asked her opinions on the spot. Lin Yue was neither humble nor arrogant, and told her thoughts one by one. After listening, the emperor did not express his opinion immediately, but a hint of appreciation flashed in his eyes. However, Lin Yue's actions also aroused the jealousy and dissatisfaction of some people. The conservatives, led by the prime minister, believed that Lin Yue, a woman, dared to speak out in the court, breaking the ancestral rules, and began to suppress her secretly. When Lin Yue participated in some social activities, she was often excluded and ridiculed by other noble women, but she remained unmoved and insisted on her beliefs. Soon after, news came from the border that the war was tense, the enemy army repeatedly invaded, and the court army was defeated. The emperor was worried about this and summoned the ministers to discuss countermeasures. After learning about this, Lin Yue presented a detailed military strategy plan to the emperor after careful consideration. In the plan, she combined modern military concepts with the study of ancient wars and put forward suggestions such as improving weapons and equipment and adjusting combat strategies. After reading it, the emperor was shocked. After discussing with the generals, he decided to adopt some of the suggestions. In the following war, the army deployed according to the plan proposed by Lin Yue, and indeed achieved remarkable results. The enemy was successfully repelled and peace was restored to the border. Lin Yue also became famous for this, winning the trust of the emperor and the praise of the people. In order to commend her achievements, the emperor specially named her "Protector of the Country" and allowed her to participate in court discussions. But Lin Yue's success did not make her situation easier. The opposition forces in the court became more and more rampant. They kept slandering Lin Yue in front of the emperor and trying to discredit Lin Yue. Lin Yue knew that in order to truly change this era, she had to gain greater power. So she began to make friends in the court, win over some like-minded officials, and gradually formed her own power. As the emperor got older, the competition for the throne became more and more fierce. In order to ascend the throne, several princes fought openly and secretly, using all means. Lin Yue keenly realized that this was a critical time to change the situation. She carefully analyzed the personalities and forces of several princes and chose a relatively wise and potential prince as the object of support. In the process of supporting the prince, Lin Yue used her wisdom to give him advice and help him win more support in the court. She also used her prestige among the people to establish a good image for the prince. However, this process was not smooth sailing. The forces of other princes hated Lin Yue to the core. They designed to frame Lin Yue many times, but Lin Yue relied on wit and caution to escape danger again and again. Finally, in a thrilling palace coup, the prince supported by Lin Yue successfully ascended the throne. After the new emperor ascended the throne, he was grateful to Lin Yue and gave her higher power and status. Lin Yue did not live up to the trust of the new emperor. She began to vigorously implement a series of reform measures to reduce taxes on the people, develop agriculture and commerce, rectify the official atmosphere, and strengthen military construction. In the process of reform, Lin Yue encountered many obstacles. Conservative forces united to resist the reform and even launched some small-scale rebellions. But Lin Yue did not back down. She personally led the army to quell the rebellion and suppressed the opposition with tough means. With her persistence, the reform gradually achieved results and the country began to prosper. As time went on, Lin Yue's prestige in the court became higher and higher, and the people's love for her also increased day by day. However, the new emperor suddenly died of illness at this time, and the three-year-old prince succeeded to the throne. Because the prince was young and unable to handle the government, Lin Yue was appointed regent to temporarily manage the government. Lin Yue knew that this was a sensitive period, and she might fall into an irretrievable situation if she was not careful. But for the sake of the country and the people, she resolutely took up this heavy responsibility. During her regency, she continued to promote reforms, train the prince, and lay the foundation for the country's future. However, some ministers in the court coveted her power, and they colluded to try to launch a coup and overthrow Lin Yue's rule. After Lin Yue learned the news, she made preparations in advance. At the critical moment of the coup, she successfully thwarted the coup with her wisdom and courage and wiped out the rebels. After this incident, Lin Yue realized that only by truly mastering the highest power can the stability of the country and the smooth progress of reforms be ensured. So, with the support of everyone, Lin Yue declared himself emperor and established a new dynasty. She became a generation of empresses and opened her own legendary era. Under her rule, the country prospered, the people lived and worked in peace, and culture and art also developed greatly. Lin Yue also grew from an ordinary female college student to a powerful empress, writing a magnificent chapter in history.
