Chapter 305 The Last Wish of the Unlucky Father and Daughter in Ancient China 5
Mo Chen was indifferent. He stood there coldly watching him cry. When Young Master Yi saw his sister crying, he swung his arm to hit Mo Chen.
The subordinate following Mo Chen kicked him lightly, and the fat young man fell to the ground and couldn't get up for a long time.
Yi Tao hurried over to support him, and she couldn't cry anymore.
"What are you doing? He is the third son of the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion. Can you afford to pay for his injury?"
The man who had just stood up for her came back to reality. She is the eldest daughter of the Zhenguo Mansion. Does she need a small commoner like him to step up for her?
Mo Chen didn't say anything else, but just ordered his subordinates, "Put them all in jail."
No one cared about the person who was knocked unconscious by Chang'an. He woke up on his own, and as soon as he woke up, his hands were tied and he was forced to walk forward.
He struggled and shouted, "You bold and unruly people, I am the son of the Minister of War, let me go quickly, otherwise my father will chop off your heads."
Young Master Yi San was also shouting loudly. Compared to the two of them, the other three were much quieter and even looked frightened because they thought about what their old father had told them.
Not only will they be doomed, but their entire families might be doomed as well. The fact that Mo Shaoqing dared to arrest them shows the emperor's attitude.
Yi Tao cried and ran after her brother, threatening Mo Chen as she ran, "Let my brother go quickly, or I will kill all nine generations of your clan when my father comes."
"The Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion is suspected of treason, so arrest Miss Yi and put her in jail as well," Mo Chen seemed to be waiting for her to say this. For a daughter of a court official to say something like killing nine generations of a clan, she must have been influenced by her surroundings to be able to say it so fluently.
Tsk! How did he fall for such a brainless person in the first place?
The news that the Duke of Zhenguo had rebellious intentions had spread throughout the capital today. They had just changed the emperor, so were they going to change another one?
Gu Laoliu used his strength to tell them that the Duke of Zhenguo was just a little trash and not worth mentioning at all.
Yi Tao said these words in the morning. Gao Yi led the Imperial Guards to search the house at noon, and all the members of the Zhenguo Mansion were sent to prison.
When Old Madam Gu and her children learned that Gu Laoliu had become the emperor, she brought people to the palace gate and made a fuss, saying that she was the emperor's mother and the empress dowager, and asked the imperial guards to welcome them into the palace.
When the imperial guards came to report, Gu Laoliu just said coldly: "My biological mother has passed away, and I have no brothers or sisters. Anyone who dares to impersonate me in the future will be killed on the spot, and there is no need to report."
He had already announced to the world about the original owner's biological mother, and posthumously conferred the title of Empress Dowager Zhuang En on her.
All the bad things that Madam Gu had done, as well as the bad things that her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren had done, had been made known to the world, and the papers with their charges were still posted outside the imperial city.
He didn't say what he was going to do with them. They had come to him on their own. It seemed that Dayi had to deal with them. Otherwise, given their tempers, they might use his name to do something that was against the will of heaven and earth.
The commander of the imperial guards also thought of the imperial edict posted outside the imperial city. A drop of cold sweat fell on his forehead. He said respectfully, "Yes," and then bowed and left the imperial study.
After he came out, he breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the Emperor did not take his dereliction of duty seriously and saved his life.
The new emperor's pressure was so great that he was extremely nervous every time he met him.
The young eunuch guarding the door of the imperial study was the one who stayed in the marquis's mansion that day. Chang'an allowed him to use his real name again. His name was Wang Tieniu. He was 16 years old and became the youngest eunuch chief in history.
Chang'an asked him to bring his sister into the palace as well, so that the two siblings could take care of each other. It was very dangerous for a girl of eleven or twelve to live alone in a slum.
Wang Tieniu is very grateful to Chang'an and is more loyal to her than to Gu Laoliu. He will tell Chang'an as soon as he hears any news.
For example, some ministers were discussing letting Gu Laoliu select a concubine, and there was also something about the harem not being without a queen for a day, and they had even discussed which family's daughter should enter the harem.
Chang'an and Wang Tieniu squatted in the corner and whispered to each other. Wang Tieniu was very worried and said, "Your Highness, when new people enter the harem in the future, you must be smart and don't fall into their traps. Those concubines are very cunning."
"Don't worry, they don't have the ability to do anything to me. Just do your thing and eat and drink."
Changan patted his shoulder to comfort him, but why did the tone of his voice feel wrong? It felt like Wang Tieniu had a terminal illness and was about to die.
"Well, okay then," Wang Tieniu scratched his head, trying to get rid of the strange feeling in his mind.
"What important matter are you discussing?" Gu Laoliu squatted beside them without knowing when.
Wang Tieniu was so scared that he knelt down on the spot and said, "Your Majesty, I, you are talking to the princess about, about Your Majesty's selection of concubines." He gritted his teeth, closed his eyes, and told the truth as if he was going to the guillotine.
"Heh," Gu Laoliu chuckled without any emotion. Actually, you can also lie. He touched his face. Does he look scary? Why are they all so afraid of him?
Not really. He looked in the mirror and found that the original owner was not ugly. He had sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, facial lines as tough as if they were cut by a knife, and his thin lips slightly pursed, revealing majesty.
A pair of deep eyes seem to hide stars, the high nose bridge shows his heroic spirit, and his nobleness is natural.
Nothing wrong with him, he's just good-looking.
"Okay, go do what you need to do," Gu Laoliu carried Chang'an out of the palace again.
Chang An tilted her head and looked at her father, "Do you want a wife?"
"What do you need that for?" He said in a lazy tone with a hint of condescending disdain.
"Someone wants to give you a wife, why don't you accept it."
Gu Laoliu pulled Chang'an into his arms, tapped her forehead with his fingers, and said helplessly: "This is not something you should worry about. This is the mortal world, and our identities are not equal. Mortals live for a hundred years, and she can only accompany me for these hundred years.
They will grow old, get sick and die, but we will live forever. My daughter, don't fall in love with mortals. It will hurt you."
After a pause, he continued calmly: "When you grow up, if you want to find a partner, it can be a god, a fairy, a demon, or a monster, but it must not be a mortal. The feelings you give cannot be taken back, and after a hundred years, only memories will be left for him to leave you."
"You can't chase him in every life. Every mortal has his own destiny. He may become someone else's husband in the next life. How will you feel when you see it? If you act emotionally, it may bring unpredictable disasters to living beings."
They walked on the palace road facing the golden sunset, with dots of light and shadows cast on them, creating a warm and beautiful scene.
Being well matched not only applies to marriages among mortals, but also to the world of immortals. Of course, one should not only look for someone with equal status, but also someone with equal strength, otherwise the support with tilted resources will be too disadvantageous.
Anyway, he doesn't want to suffer any loss, nor does he want his daughter to help the poor. With such a stingy character, he won't be able to find a wife even if he spends ten thousand years.
