Not an Ordinary Woman
Changes made by Jang Min


Jang Min left his room and Li Phin headed to the hall with a face full of cheer, all the higher-ups of the Empire looked at him and smiled. Only a handful of people disliked it, including Prime Minister Qin Chai Xi.


"Greetings Your Majesty Emperor Liu Min, may Longevity and always be protected by Gods!" everyone pays their respects.


"Please!" reply Jang Min sat on his throne, everyone sat back on their respective benches, "Eunuch Tang Ta! Tell my agenda this morning," Jang Min ordered.


"Okay, your Majesty!" eunuch Tang Ta retorted with his grace, "today His Majesty will interrogate all the criminals and fix the economy, agriculture, and security defense of the Donglang Empire," said Eunuch Tang Ta.


"Alright, thank you, Eunuch Tang Ta!" jang Min said making Eunuch Tang Ta so happy. For the first time an emperor thanked his rightful servant.


"Prime Minister Qin, hasn't Father told you to interrogate all these criminals? What did you get?" jang Min asked, "i'm not sure you'll be honest, I'd better ask General Tan Ji and brother Jia Li to investigate" Jang Min's inner self.


"Hamba Your Majesty, I've interrogated everyone! But before they said anything, they had drunk some kind of deadly poison, I cannot identify the type of poison Your Majesty!" prime Minister Qin.


"Um, okay. I will ask Physician Luo who will check on him or his assistant Wong Fei" Jang Min said.


"Sorry, Your Majesty! I have cremated it," said Prime Minister Qin. (the past is still buried many have not been cremated other than those who have dangerous diseases because of the vastness of the land)


"What?! Who told you to do that?" ask Jang Min.


"I felt that the poison was so dangerous that I told him to" Prime Minister Qin said.


"Alright, Prime Minister Qin. I think Prime Minister Qin is too old to be prime minister. 


"Prime Minister Qin, I think you have long served as Prime Minister along with Ayahanda. Now that Ayahanda is retired, I hope that Prime Qin will spend some time in Lun Mountain, too" Jang Min said, indirectly dismissing Prime Minister Qin Chai Xi.


"Oh, Your Majesty! I am still willing and still strong to do all my work" replied Prime Minister Qin, he refused to be removed from his post as prime minister.


"Sorry Uncle Qin, I think Uncle has been quite tired and has long served as a Prime Minister of Donglang Empire, besides Uncle Qin has also been sickly often, right?" reply Jang Min.


"But, Your Majesty!" the Prime Minister Qin.


"I hope you obey me, as the new Emperor. I announce to all the ranks of the senior imperial officials that they will be retired and replaced with young ones. Aim for them to be closer to the wife's child as well as to the Gods.


"There will be exams and selection no longer hereditary, because this is what will happen often irregularities and embezzlement, as well as conspiracies that will occur!" Jang Min gave the order.


"Would any of the 4 Old Generals who had long fought in the Empire be deposed as well?" ask one of the top officials in the field of food.


"Yes, including my father-in-law! They would become advisers in the empire in the Security section, training the Military, the Police, and guiding young warriors from all walks of life, not only the upper middle class but also the common people can become soldiers and get school education, not distinguishing men and women" said Jang Min.


Everyone starts a mess, though,


"How about the border? Who will look after him" asked General Tan Yuan ji.

While Dara was still sleeping, while Li Phin's soul that could go back to her own body could walk anywhere, "Bet up! It's noon, when you sleep!" whispered Li Phin.


"Hm, um, so tired! You know what it's like to have all my bones crushed!" dara Nintih.


"Your Majesty, I have prepared hot water for bath and breakfast" Dayang Ling'er said.


"Oh, okay! Um, have you guys seen my husband?" ask Dara.


"The Emperor's Majesty said, 'He is holding a meeting, ' to carry out his work for the first time as emperor, '" Dayang Ling'er said.


"Oh, alright then, Dayang! I think I'll take a shower first" said Dara.


As he was about to descend he felt all over his body ached and sore, "I have prepared medicine for His Majesty the Empress," Ling'er said.


"All right!" Dara.


He took a quick shower and breakfast he did not know what to do but he did not want to waste time sitting sweet like a display. 


"Um, can I pay a visit to the imperial library?" ask Dara on Dayang Ling'er.


"I think it's okay, later I will ask Queen Li Hun," Dayang Ling'er said.


"His Majesty's Mother First Concubine Chien Cia came to visit!" said the soldier bodyguard.


"Oh, all right, let's go in! Dayang, prepare what is needed as a banquet! I don't want any mistakes" said Dara firmly 


He finished his meal and immediately tidied up a dress that is quite controversial if in modern times with yellow color expands on the bottom and tight at the waist to shortness of breath not to mention the silk lining clothes that are the layers and the tall bun worn on Li Phin's head made Dara faint.


He should wear soft cloth-like shoes like his leather boots changed with cloth shoes with the addition of a very soft cotton on his tread.


"My armor, I miss!" said Dara looked at her armor hanging in the corner of the room adjacent to her husband's armor, as well as her sword. He was reluctant to abandon the sword but the imperial rule of a consort, queen, and concubine was not allowed to carry weapons in the Inner Palace environment.


"Greetings to Her Majesty Consort Chien Cia's mother" said Dara.


"Greetings to Her Majesty Empress Li Phin," replied Chien Cia(Lu Cia) with a mysterious smile, "this bastard, is so healthy, while she has already reversed the poison lotus moves of my death," inner Lu Cia was annoyed.


"Please sit Mother Concubine Chien," said Li Phin who controlled her body, Dara lazy to make small talk.


"Um, I just want to visit and say if the empress has to take care of the Harem palace." Concubine Chien stared at Li Phin, trying to provoke Li Phin's anger towards the concubines and the harem.
