Chapter 175 The Ancient Emperor's Last Wish 6
The young eunuch guessed correctly. Gu Laoliu felt that it was too expensive to keep these women, so he wanted to send them all away.
Those who don't want to leave can only receive the monthly salary of an ordinary palace maid, and all the benefits of concubines will be cancelled.
As I said, war costs money, so save as much as possible.
Chang'an was far away from the Imperial Garden, and the Shufei's scolding disappeared from her ears. She and the eunuch who led the way came to the hostage's residence, which was right next to the cold palace and was particularly desolate.
But now it is very lively here, with palace maids and eunuchs reclaiming wasteland and planting crops. They look happier and more enthusiastic than the group of people in the Imperial Garden.
Only when we got closer to Chang'an did we understand why they were so motivated. We heard a little palace maid happily say, "Farming is good. You don't have to serve the master. You are very free, and you get paid monthly."
The nanny also smiled and said: "That's right. We serve those masters with trepidation, for fear that we might accidentally anger the masters and lose our lives."
"What other master is there? Your Majesty is kind and all of them are working on the land."
"I feel like His Majesty has relieved us of our anger."
"Okay, stop talking. Even if they are farming, they still have status and position. We still have to greet them when we see them. If we anger them, we will still be punished."
The emperor was silent for a moment. Isn't it true? Farming in the palace also has different status levels.
The little palace maid laughed twice, "It's okay, we just need to stay away from them. Farming can earn you a monthly salary, don't you think it's a very happy thing?"
The nanny nodded in agreement, "Indeed, if I go back to my hometown to farm, not only will I get monthly pay, I will also have to pay taxes. After a year of hard work, I might not even have enough to eat. Farming in the palace, where you have enough to eat and warm clothes, and you get monthly pay, is really a very happy thing."
Everyone agreed that it was true. They did not have any big ambitions. They just wanted to live a stable life in the palace, save some money, and then return to their hometown to retire when they were old enough.
Someone noticed the fat girl Chang'an. Most of the palace maids here didn't know her because they had never seen her before, but the older maids knew her.
When Chang'an approached, the maids took the lead in bowing to Chang'an, "Greetings, Her Royal Highness the Princess."
"No need for formalities," Chang'an pretended to be mature and touched the heart of the macho young eunuch who was leading the way.
She would not say don't salute or don't kneel to her, because this is the ancient times with a strict hierarchy. There is no such thing as equality for all. Different classes are the rules of survival in this world, and they just need to abide by the rules.
Changes in the world need to happen gradually, not by force.
She and Lao Liu's father are just passers-by in this world. The changes of the world must be carried out by the indigenous people here.
The heroine talks about equality for all every day, but there has never been any equality. After she became the empress, she still used the feudal system, and the division of classes was even more strict than before.
In the ancient society where imperial power was supreme, talking about equality was a joke. If you wanted equality, you had to work hard to climb up, but that would only narrow the gap but not achieve equality.
The young eunuch pushed open the heavy gate of the courtyard. The yard was unexpectedly clean. The master and servant inside were also clearing the land and cultivating the land. They turned around when they heard the noise.
The boy, about seventeen or eighteen years old, was so thin that he seemed like he would fall down if the wind blew. Chang'an actually saw a feeling of pity in him.
To be honest, he is not particularly good-looking, but he is pretty attractive. Also, there is something special about him that is so delicate.
Changan: "Oh, this is Proton? He looks so weak, I thought he was a handsome man, otherwise why would the heroine miss him all her life in her previous life?"
"Fortunately, this proton is sober-minded and disdains to share a wife with a large group of men. Otherwise, he might not live to be fifty and would be killed by the men of the heroine."
Yu Changqing felt like he was struck by lightning. What the hell is this about sharing a wife? Please don't disgust him, okay?
He walked towards Chang'an and wanted to ask her, who is the heroine?
But Chang'an lost interest in this proton after just two complaints, and was a little disappointed that his appearance did not attract her.
Without waiting for Yu Changqing to approach, Chang'an turned around and left with his short legs.
Yu Changqing paused and did not chase after her. He thought, forget it, he was trapped in the palace anyway and no one could see him. If he met that 'special' woman one day, he would know who she was.
The male protagonist in this dimension may not have the chance to meet the female protagonist, so there is no need for him to do anything immoral to distance himself from the relationship.
Gu Laoliu also thought of the Yu State hostage. He was going to attack them anyway, so what was the point of having a hostage from the Yu State?
"Nanbowan, go and tell the Yuguo hostage that he can go back to his hometown."
The prince wanted to say something, but then he remembered that his father was going to war, so he didn't need the hostage, so he said nothing and continued to read the memorial with his head lowered.
Chang'an strolled around the palace for the whole morning and found it extremely boring. "If I had known earlier, I would have followed Gao Yi to the border town."
"When we come back from the first year of college, we will go find someone to fight with." Gu Laoliu, who came out to find Chang'an, carried Chang'an back to Chengxuan Palace like a kitten.
When Nanbowan came back, he asked him to take people to drive Concubine Shu out of the palace, "demote her to a commoner, and expel her from the palace."
If you dare to scold his daughter, you are simply seeking death.
Chang'an: Why does it smell like Tianliangwang?
Gu Laoliu acted as he pleased and the court officials were helpless against him. Some officials refused to give up and wanted to stir up trouble, but they were again cleaned out by Gu Laoliu.
Now all the court officials are in danger. They don’t know when their king started to act more and more like a mad tyrant, chopping off people’s heads at any time, or simply beating them with a stick.
He had completely broken free from the constraints of his ministers and was like a wild horse that had broken free from its reins, and he could kill someone at any time.
Da Yi came back after half a year, and he brought back a large group of talents and their families from the exile area.
Gu Laoliu placed all these talents in appropriate positions, and then let the crown prince govern the country. Dayi stayed in the capital to assist the crown prince, and he led Chang'an to lead the army in person.
In ancient times, when two countries went to war, they had to issue a declaration of war. Gu Laoliu didn't have this procedure in his mind. Instead of joining up with the first and second year students, they chose to go their own way and went to the border town that borders the Moon Kingdom.
After arriving at the place, they trained the soldiers for a month and then went to war.
Chang'an released four wolves and one tiger, saying, "It's time for you to make achievements. Don't be afraid when you go to the battlefield, just do it."
"Ow~"
"Roar!"
Their cries almost drove the soldiers away, and they took a detour when they saw Chang'an.
The Yue Kingdom was caught off guard. They never expected that the Sixth Son of Emperor Daye would cause trouble without saying a word.
They also have a certain understanding of Daye. Everyone has similar strength. Now is not a good time to start a war. As for food and fodder, it is not only Daye that is troubled. Everyone is not very wealthy.
As soon as the Emperor of Yue Kingdom came to power, he met Old Six, who did not play by the rules. He felt very upset.
There was no other way but to order the general to go to the border to defend against the enemy. By the time their general arrived at the border, Dayue had already lost three cities, and that was when Gu Laoliu did not fight actively.
