Chapter 304 The Last Wish of the Unlucky Father and Daughter in Ancient China 4
After dealing with the emperor and his entourage, of course, the Tao royal family members, one by one, all of their titles and official positions were revoked, and they were all ordered to return to their hometowns and farm.
Find someone else to fill the vacant position. Now that the person has been dealt with, let's just do a major purge. Anyone who has a guilty conscience or has done something wrong is in danger.
In order to save their lives, some people submitted petitions to resign from their official positions and return to their hometowns, hoping to leave some dignity for themselves and their families.
Gu Laoliu was not as easy to talk to as other emperors. He ignored them and wanted to investigate them to make an example of them. Anyway, he was not worried that they would rebel.
If there was anyone who could successfully rebel, he would readily give up the throne to him.
There was no coronation ceremony or anything like that. They didn't even bother to change the name of the country. Just having a name is enough. Why bother with that? It would be better to do more practical things.
Gu Laoliu assigned the task of doing practical work to the freshmen and seniors. He and Chang'an were fishing by the lake in the Imperial Garden, with a barbecue grill next to them.
"Dad, we've been fishing for more than half a month. Why don't we change our activities? Shangjing City should be bustling now. Let's go out and take a look."
Chang'an's patience has been exhausted. Fishing is a technical job that requires patience. She feels that fishing is not as good as just splashing in the lake and catching more fish.
"Then go," Gu Laoliu put away the fishing rod. He originally wanted to test Chang'an's patience, but it was not without gain. After accompanying him to fish for half a month, he made some small progress.
Because of the emperor's oral order, students from all over the country flocked to Shangjing City. Those who were close to Shangjing City had already arrived, and those who were far away were still on the way.
The restaurants and inns were crowded. Chang'an and her sixth father walked on the busy streets. Street vendors were selling different items, but Chang'an was no longer interested in them.
"Do you know who I am? Is it okay to just apologize after you stepped on my shoes and made them dirty? Get down on your knees and lick them clean for me."
"Don't go too far."
"I'm just bullying a beggar like you. What can you do to me?"
There was a quarrel coming from the front. The arrogance aroused Chang'an's interest. He wanted to see which prodigal son was causing trouble at this critical moment?
Didn't his father tell him that they should be more cautious during this period of time?
Surrounded by three layers of people, Chang'an could only see thighs of varying lengths. No matter which plane he was in, there was always a crowd of onlookers.
She patted the back of her father's hand, and Gu Laoliu picked her up and put her on his shoulder, which showed the advantages of his father. Sitting in her exclusive melon-eating position, she had an excellent view.
Not only can you see the accident scene in the middle, but you can also see who hasn't washed their hair in a long time. The top of the greasy head seems to be emitting a smell.
The two people who were confronting each other were the third son of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion and his cronies, and the other was a student who was going to Beijing to take the imperial examination and his friends. Judging from the way the student was dressed, he was not from a poor family.
In ancient times, families who could afford to read books were not that poor. Children from truly poor families did not even have the chance to touch a book, let alone be called beggars.
However, compared to the heroic Third Young Master of the Zhenguo Mansion, the children of ordinary people's families really looked like beggars in his eyes.
Master Yi San and his cronies stopped them from leaving, and someone tried to force the student to kneel down.
Changan threw a small pearl, which hit the man on the forehead and knocked him unconscious.
The small pearls are inferior products collected from the bedrooms of the former emperor's concubines. Of course, their quality is much worse than the pearls in the space, and they are still treasures even if they are placed outside.
The sudden change startled everyone, and the onlookers hurriedly stepped back, trying to stay away.
"Who? Come out here, you are so brave to plot against the son of the Minister of War."
Chang An said "tsk tsk" in his heart, thinking with disdain: "Mo Chen is such a moron, he can fall in love with the girl of the Duke of Zhenguo. Maybe he is the same kind of person as them. What's the old saying?"
"Oh, it's true that birds of a feather flock together. It seems that it was right for him to be betrayed by the town lord in the original plot. They are birds of a feather, and it will be the same whether they end up like this or not."
Her idea was too one-sided. She generalized the situation. Some people were good at superficial work, but not everyone had the ability to see through people's hearts.
After all, Mo Chen is still too young. Although he is smart, he is too conceited.
Chang'an didn't see Mo Chen in the crowd, and he was annoyed at him in his heart. He was indescribable after hearing this. He didn't do anything? How did he become the same kind of person?
Mo Chen raised his eyes and saw Gu Laoliu in the crowd, and the fat boy sitting on his shoulders showing off his power.
Gu Laoliu glanced at him indifferently, and just this glance made his scalp tingle. He had a premonition that if he didn't go out and resolve the matter, the new emperor would punish him as well.
He has already distanced himself from Yitao, could you please stop talking about him and her together?
"What happened here? Why are all of you crowded together?" Mo Chen pretended to walk out of the crowd with two subordinates, as if he had just arrived.
When Young Master Yi San saw him, he was even more arrogant and said, "Mo Chen, quickly capture these poor guys for me."
"What's the matter?" He asked even though he knew the answer.
"This poor fellow stepped on my shoes and made them dirty. He can't afford to pay for it," Young Master Yi San stretched out his slightly dirty big feet to show Mo Chen.
Mo Chen sneered: "He just stepped on your shoes and made them dirty. I thought he wanted to kill you. Shoes are for stepping on the ground. Isn't it normal to get dirty? Don't look for trouble. If you dare to make trouble again, I will put you all in jail."
"What do you mean? How dare you talk to me like that? Be careful or I'll make my sister not marry you."
Young Master Yi San and Yi Tao are siblings from the same mother, both born to the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo. They have two older brothers who are also born to the same mother. The Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion has no illegitimate children, and this is its only redeeming feature.
"She wants to get married, but I don't want to marry her? Didn't your sister tell you that I haven't paid any attention to her for more than half a month?" Mo Chen was young and hot-tempered. He would not suffer any loss and would not make himself angry no matter who he ate.
"Mo Lang? You, you, didn't you say you would come to your house to propose marriage? How can you break the promise in public?" Yi Tao had heard that her younger brother had a conflict with someone on the street again.
She came here to support her brother, but she didn't expect Mo Chen to be here too, and she heard him say such words.
Seeing a beautiful woman crying, I felt pity for her, which aroused sympathy among many men. Some of them could not help but speak up for her, "Lord Mo, this is your fault. Since you promised the girl, how can you go back on your word?"
Mo Chen rolled his eyes, "She said I went to propose marriage, did I say that? Come on, Miss Yi, you swear to heaven that I went to your house to propose marriage. If you lie, you will definitely be infertile."
This is cruel enough. In ancient times, if a woman cursed herself to be infertile, it was equivalent to cutting off her family line. If she swore in front of everyone that if Mo Chen didn't marry her, she would never be able to find a good husband in the future.
She didn't say anything, but just bit her lower lip and looked at Mo Chen crying pitifully.
