Chapter 161: Past Events of the Republic of China 1
As for the third place winner, she was familiar with him here. He seemed to be fine at the moment. Besides, he had been the regent for a few years, so the officials below probably wouldn't cause much unrest.
Qiu Chi gave up his position very quickly.
Almost the next day after he said it in the court, he wanted to give up the throne.
The officials no longer wanted to say anything about this. It was a familiar routine and they were numb to it.
As for their reaction?
When Qiu Chi said he wanted to give up his position to Tanhua Lang, they naturally shouted "no" as usual.
But Qiu Chi is not someone who can listen to them.
And if they really think about it, they also feel that Qiu Chi is not suitable to be the emperor. Although the country's territory has become larger, there is no need to worry about harassment from other countries or wars.
However, this empress was too arbitrary. Being a general was indeed good for her, but being an emperor was not so good.
However, these have nothing to do with Qiu Chi. She left immediately after passing on the throne.
As for where she went after she disappeared.
Naturally, someone would make up her mind.
For example, the world is peaceful and the empress is traveling.
Qiu Chi doesn’t have to worry about it anyway.
Later generations said that Empress Pei Siyi was the last emperor of the Pei Dynasty, but the prosperity of the Dajing Dynasty was achieved by this empress.
It was because the empress was not obsessed with power and only wanted to travel among the mountains and rivers, so she gave the throne to Emperor Jingyuan. After she left the capital, there was no news of her again.
As the first female emperor in history, Pei Siyi left a significant mark in the history of later generations.
And all of this has nothing to do with Qiu Chi.
She has gone to the next world.
Republic of China.
Although it is only a few decades, it still cannot be ignored.
This is an era of transition from the old to the new, an era full of wars, and an era in which great scholars compete to flourish.
However, for the heroine, the story of the first half of her life is in the wave of replacement of the old with the new.
The beginning of the story is very clichéd. The heroine Zhai Jiayue and Nie Zhicheng have been engaged since childhood, and they grew up together as childhood sweethearts. But one month before their wedding, Nie Zhicheng suddenly said that he wanted to study abroad.
The two families meant that the two should hold the wedding first and then Nie Zhicheng would go abroad. However, Nie Zhicheng said that the time of going abroad had been determined and could not be changed. Either they held the wedding in advance or canceled the engagement.
Of course it was impossible to cancel the engagement. At that time, both families were still stuck in the old ideas and believed that if a woman broke off the engagement, her life would be ruined.
Helplessly, the originally scheduled wedding date had to be cancelled and they held the wedding in a hurry.
The day after the wedding, Nie Zhicheng went abroad, leaving Zhai Jiayue at the Nie family to serve his parents-in-law.
Zhai Jiayue's life in the Nie family was not easy. Mrs. Nie was very critical of Zhai Jiayue. She felt that if it were not for Zhai Jiayue, her son would not have gone so far away and not returned home. She thought Zhai Jiayue was a jinx.
Nie Zhicheng also has a younger sister who has disliked Zhai Jiayue since she was a child because Zhai Jiayue has been too good-looking since she was a child and she is jealous.
She had secretly stirred up trouble before, but at that time Zhai Jiayue had not married into her family, so it had no effect. Now that she knew that Nie's mother disliked Zhai Jiayue, she became even more unscrupulous.
The Zhai family's attitude towards Zhai Jiayue is that a daughter who is married off is like spilled water, and how you behave in your husband's family is your own business.
In other words, no matter how much injustice Zhai Jiayue suffered in the Nie family, no one stood up for her and she could only bear it by herself.
Zhai Jiayue is not old-fashioned. She also loves new culture, likes new clothes she has never seen before, and is curious about foreign things.
However, the Nie family did not allow it.
The Nie family's backyard is controlled by Mrs. Nie, and almost everything she says goes.
Nie Zhicheng's sister Nie Yaya naturally wanted to prevent Zhai Jiayue from getting in touch with new things, and she had already found a reason.
"Mom, my eldest brother is so far away from home now, so my eldest sister-in-law has to wait for him at home. What if she gets exposed to those foreign things and becomes unruly and doesn't want to wait for him anymore? Mom, you must keep an eye on her. Don't let her wear those fancy clothes. She has a foxy face, and it's obvious that she's restless..."
Nie Yaya had bad intentions, but Mrs. Nie felt that she was right.
Her son is so far away from home now, who knows whether the new daughter-in-law will be well-behaved or not. Even if her son may not like this daughter-in-law, she will have to wait until her son comes back and says he doesn't want her anymore.
Therefore, Zhai Jiayue had to report before leaving the Nie family, or go with Mrs. Nie.
As a result, Zhai Jiayue's clothes became old-fashioned, and her hair was combed in a way that only Mrs. Nie would do.
No matter how pretty Zhai Jiayue was, her old-fashioned clothes, the way her hair was combed like that of an older person, and what Mrs. Nie had said about her being serious in front of outsiders, gave her an old-fashioned air.
Of course Zhai Jiayue was unwilling to accept this. It's not that she hadn't resisted, but the Nie family's backyard was in the hands of Mrs. Nie. If she didn't obey, she would be punished by family rules. Her family members didn't care about her life or death at all. She had no choice but to compromise and could not resist at all.
Zhai Jiayue did like Nie Zhicheng. After all, they grew up together as childhood sweethearts. Before Nie Zhicheng went abroad to study, he told her to wait for him to come back.
So even though she felt very aggrieved in the Nie family, Zhai Jiayue still had some hope for Nie Zhicheng in her heart. However, she didn't know that Nie Zhicheng's return would be a fatal blow to her.
Zhai Jiayue's life at the Nie family continued until two years later when Nie Zhicheng returned from studying abroad.
After returning from studying abroad, Nie Zhicheng felt that he was a young man of the new era and naturally looked down on those feudal remnants.
This naturally included his feudal marriage with Zhai Jiayue. Seeing Zhai Jiayue's attire, he widened his eyes in disbelief and asked, "How did you become like this? What's the difference between you and those women in the feudal era? You really disappoint me!"
Zhai Jiayue, who was looking forward to Nie Zhicheng's return, was stunned.
As a young man of the new era, Nie Zhicheng naturally has to fall in love freely. As for Zhai Jiayue at home, in his eyes, that is a feudal marriage that must be broken.
He also felt that the relationship between Zhai Jiayue and his childhood sweetheart was that of brother and sister, not love. He met his own love and came back with his own love.
Mrs. Nie was very excited when Nie Zhicheng came back.
But as soon as he came back, he wanted to divorce Zhai Jiayue, saying that their previous marriages were based on feudal ideas and that free love was advocated now. He wanted to marry Fang Caiyue, who was his true love.
This time, Mrs. Nie was also stunned.
She asked someone to investigate Fang Caiyue and found out that she was just a girl from a small family. She disagreed.
