Having said that, Gu Sang paused for a few seconds.
He continued in a gentle voice, "Also, Zhou Qichen didn't do these things because of my instigation."
"Don't look at him as reckless. He is actually very thoughtful and has his own ideas."
"If Pei Changying's actions hadn't completely chilled him, he wouldn't have switched to you just because of a few words from me. In the final analysis, you're still the one who deserves it."
The eldest princess smiled faintly and felt that Gu Sang was more to her taste.
She thinks so too.
Especially in the ancient world, men only treated women as their possessions. Over time, even women themselves forgot that they had dignity.
In this kind of environment, when he doesn't treat you as an equal in his heart, how many years can true love last?
Maybe it is true that I love you now, but it will also be true that I will dislike you and change my mind after a few years.
The eldest princess smiled longingly: "Yes, everyone has their own choices, but before making a choice, everyone should find themselves."
"I'm very glad that I didn't marry into another clan. I always believed that no one would love me forever. The throne is so good, why would I need love?"
"Gu Sang, tell me about your college life. I think it must be very interesting."
Gu Sang talked to the princess about interesting things that happened in college for half an hour.
There are ordinary students working part-time to pay for tuition;
There is a girl from the mountainous area who studies hard despite the pressure from her family, just to make a name for herself;
There are also rich second-generations who spend all their money to pursue campus beauties;
Some have good conditions, some have bad ones, but everyone has the right to choose! Everyone has the opportunity to shine in the field they love...
So what if she's a mountain girl? As long as she's strong, brave, and works hard, she'll have a chance to change for the better!
Through the screen, Gu Sang could clearly see the longing in the eldest princess's eyes.
What a wonderful afterlife.
There are countless options.
Not like her.
If she had not met Gu Sang, no matter how noble or legitimate she was, her final outcome would have been to marry into an enemy country or choose a husband and end her life.
"Gu Sang, believe it or not, one day I will also establish the first university!"
"A university that is open to both men and women gives everyone the right to choose their future and to shine in their areas of expertise."
"I believe it!"
The words of firm belief came through the screen in a sonorous and powerful voice.
They thought that this day should not be too far away.
-
In the capital, at the home of Censor Zhang.
Madam Zhang Yushi pushed open the study door and casually said, "My dear, guess what I heard outside?"
"There have been rumors circulating in the capital lately that the Zhao family was wrongly accused. Hahahaha, isn't that funny? According to what they say, could the emperor actually cheat on himself?"
Before she got married, this lady was the eldest daughter of the general's family and had a straightforward personality.
Censor Zhang is a gentle and polite man, but he just likes this kind of generous personality, and the two of them have a very good relationship.
In order to marry her, several concubines were sent away.
Hearing this.
"Shh, shh, shh!" Censor Zhang's expression suddenly changed, and he walked to the lady's side in three or two steps.
He looked outside and confirmed that no one heard him, then he closed the door and whispered to his wife, "Madam, the emperor has been moody in recent days. Please don't say these things anymore, or you will cause trouble."
The censor's wife, however, looked very upright.
Holding her husband's arm, she said, "Why can't I tell you?"
"This has spread everywhere. The law does not punish everyone. What can the emperor do if he finds out?"
"And I don't think the emperor is so foolish. It's just a few rumors. Does he still want to hold us accountable? Then what is our crime?"
Upon hearing this, Censor Zhang could only smile bitterly.
A false accusation is a crime, right?
All under heaven belongs to the king. If the emperor wants to convict them, who cares whether they are innocent or not?
Just like the Zhao family and Concubine Zhao, they all knew that the Zhao family was wronged and knew Concubine Zhao's righteousness.
But they didn't dare to speak up for the Zhao family!
Even when talking about this matter, these ministers kept their mouths shut for fear of implicating themselves.
"lady."
"Don't talk about this matter again. If anyone hears it, I will lose my official position." Censor Zhang earnestly told his wife the importance of this matter.
I finally breathed a sigh of relief after my wife promised not to say it again.
Tavern.
There were two civil servants sitting in the private room. They were from the same hometown and were also officials appointed by the court. They would get together to chat and share interesting things when they had nothing to do.
The sounds of people drinking and talking at the table next to them reached their ears.
"I guess the Zhao family offended someone in the court, which is why they were thrown into prison. Otherwise, why is the court's decree so ambiguous and does not specifically list what the Zhao family has done?"
"Nonsense! I heard that it was Concubine Zhao who was unclean, and that's why the Emperor was angry."
"Do you believe this? If Concubine Zhao was really unclean, would she still be alive? I suspect there was injustice in this matter, but it's a pity for the Zhao family. Not a single civil or military official in the court spoke up for them."
"These corrupt officials scheme against each other all day long and frame loyal officials..."
Hearing these angry curses, the wine in the two censors' hands suddenly lost its flavor.
When I drink it, my mouth is filled with an indescribable bitterness.
Although they are not loyal and upright, they also understand right and wrong.
But they are afraid!
They only have one life, and they are afraid of death!
"Brother Xu, what if we had chosen another emperor..." The civil servant looked up, hesitant to speak.
