Within three months, Egypt was thrown into chaos.
The Ptolemaic Dynasty collapsed due to economic and food problems, leaving them starving. Furthermore, an army representing "justice" was assembled in the name of Cleopatra, who, under the pretext of purging corrupt officials, launched an offensive against the Ptolemaic Dynasty.
Joining meant guaranteed food, and after the war, merit-based employment was promised.
If one died in battle, their children would be cared for until adulthood.
This was a win-win situation, regardless of life or death.
For the starving poor, nothing could be more tempting.
And this was issued in Cleopatra's name.
If it had been issued in the name of the Qin Dynasty,
submission to a foreign power would have been somewhat difficult to accept.
It wasn't impossible, but issuing it in the name of Cleopatra was clearly better and more comfortable.
Cleopatra contacted some of her former ministers, informing them of her impending ascension to the throne.
She also announced that she would return periodically, spending most of her time away from dynastic affairs.
This was both a delegation of power and a test.
Therefore, the disgraced ministers had no reason or possibility to refuse.
Egypt and Tsarist Russia acted simultaneously. Cleopatra conquered Egypt in three months, while simultaneously sending troops to conquer Tsarist Russia.
It took another six months to pacify both territories.
On one side, the Egyptian dynasty was under Cleopatra's control; on the other, the Tsarist Russian kingdom was under Catherine's control. Both became nominal queens and submitted to Qin.
Furthermore, the large-scale appointment of women to official positions, while attracting some opposition, did not cause a major uproar.
Lu Ming was not interested in these places. He only wanted to transport the resources back to Qin and then develop Qin.
With modern technology, he could finally enjoy life to the fullest.
As for the rest, that depended on his mood.
Moreover, Lu Ming had another reason to return: the candidates for Crown Princess were nearly finalized, chosen jointly by the Empress, Tan Chun, and Lin Daiyu.
"Together" was the name, but in reality, Tan Chun, Lin Daiyu, and the other beauties from the Red Chamber were merely figureheads.
"Together" meant acknowledging their presence; otherwise, they were just extras.
As for how the Crown Princess would produce offspring, that would undoubtedly require him, the Emperor, to deflower his daughter-in-law!
After all, his 'son' wasn't actually his son, but rather his daughter in disguise!
It took Lu Ming a year to pacify the region.
And he couldn't wait to return. The four great empires were now under his control.
From Europe to Central Asia, from Central Asia to the East, all the roads were under his control, and wealth was flowing in steadily.
Eastern tea and porcelain were sold to Central Asia and Europe, bringing back the wealth of Europe.
Europeans, after all, are like children selling off their ancestral lands without a second thought; gold, silver, oil, and ores are sold off carelessly.
A few years later.
Today was supposed to be a court assembly, but the Crown Prince seemed somewhat anxious, with many matters requiring discussion.
She listened only once and quickly gave her conclusion.
She even skipped the discussion with the Prime Minister.
This surprised everyone, even the Prime Minister felt something was amiss.
However, in recent years, the Crown Prince had done a very good job overseeing the country; occasionally making decisions on important matters was acceptable—after all, an emperor always has such power!
Although the Crown Prince was just the Crown Prince, his position was unshakeable!
And the Western women brought back from abroad gave birth almost once a year.
Their tall frames were well-suited for being breeding machines.
After each month of rest, they couldn't resist actively seeking pleasure, and after being brutally fucked for two or three months, they became pregnant again!
At first, it was a bit uncomfortable, but after living there for a while, they got used to it.
Wang Yi and the others also got used to it.
These so-called barbarian women were only able to enter the palace to serve because of their shamelessness and promiscuity.
With the Empress watching over them, the harem was relatively harmonious.
Everyone had their own things to do; those in charge of medicine were busy, those in charge of education were busy, and those in charge of production were even busier.
After court, Crown Prince Lu Yue hurriedly returned to the harem.
Arriving at Ganquan Palace, a good place to escape the summer heat, she immediately dismissed the eunuchs and maids.
Inside the palace, a naked man was meditating on a cushion. His sharply defined muscles filled Lu Yue with boundless love.
"Father."
At Lu Yue's call, Lu Ming opened his eyes, looked at his beloved daughter, a smile appearing on his lips, and opened his arms.
His daughter, Lu Yue, pounced on him, hugging him tightly and kissing him fiercely.
"Daddy, fuck me!
Let me be your woman today!"
Lu Yue was mature, a budding young girl, constantly anticipating being fucked.
Today was the appointed day, and she had dedicated time each day to martial arts training for it.
She had to protect her younger sisters, so she had to be strong!
"Today is your day, Daddy will be with you."
Lu Ming released his daughter, who was slightly breathless from the kiss, and removed her princely robe.
Instantly, a beautiful, naked body was revealed before him.
Her breasts, now free of restraint, swelled, revealing a flat stomach, long, shapely legs, and a slender waist.
Upon seeing this, Lu Ming's mind was filled with the lewd image of his penis inside her, pushing against her belly!
"Mmm!"
The daughter, Lu Yue, let out a soft moan, nestling into Lu Ming's arms, her eyes filled with seductive allure as she gazed at her father.
Her lower body was being fondled by her father; his calloused fingers skillfully manipulated her clitoris, the practiced touch sending waves of pleasure through her.
And then, her father's fingers had just entered her.
She couldn't help but climax!
"Ah!"
Her fair, delicate feet tensed tightly, her big toes curving into extreme crescents, her toes, adorned with red nail polish, splayed wide.
An unconscious moan escaped her lips; the pleasure was so intense.
Combined with her inner excitement, it was especially intense.
Today was the day she lost her virginity, the day she offered herself to her beloved father. She had seen countless women screaming wildly and wantonly under their fathers' ministrations.
Whether it was her dignified mother, the Empress, or the alluring concubine, they all uttered the same wanton moans and gasps, giving her a longing impulse!
