Chapter 453: Meet Mrs. Huo
"Books are like all things in the world. How much can you remember? Don't be arrogant."
Huo Qingchuan touched his head and taught him gently.
"Yes, Dad, I've got it down. I'll write a hundred first, and I'll write the rest later when I've learned."
How many?
One hundred books!
Jintang is very smart, he knew it before, but... in the past two years, although he has a teacher to teach him, he has been running around everywhere. Can he settle down and study seriously?
"Oh, by the way, Dad, when are you free? Teacher Yue wants to talk to you."
"Tomorrow morning, tell your teacher that Dad has half an hour tomorrow morning."
The moon is not full, the great-grandson of Yue Qiuyang, once a great literary scholar.
Yue Qiuyang was banished to Liangzhou because of the crown prince's involvement, and he has never returned to the capital since then.
Even though his sentence has long ended.
It is said that the ancestor emperor had sent court officials to invite him personally, and Yue Qiuyang said that he would never return to the capital, and if his descendants wanted to return, they would do so with their own abilities.
But over the years, no descendant of the Yue family has made a name for himself.
If the moon is not full, what good can you do?
"Tang'er, you said you wanted to write a hundred books, so start writing from today.
Dad will give you a new study room. You really can't come here anymore. Dad will discuss matters with the uncles here from now on."
"Okay, Dad." Jintang nodded obediently.
"Oh, there's one more thing." Huo Qingchuan instructed, "You have to take care of Sister Nianxi on weekdays. Since your fourth aunt is not around, you should take good care of her.
And your brother..."
Now both children live in the Marquis' Mansion, and people have been sent to serve them.
Wu Nianxi has no parents, and Sang Ning has specifically instructed that the Huo family will naturally raise her as their own daughter.
Shao Songchen... his mother is still alive. Once Shao Qing is granted a title and a mansion according to his merits, and Mrs. Shao comes from the northwest, everything will be easy.
"Dad, I know this. When will Fourth Aunt and Fourth Uncle come back?" Jintang asked, looking up.
The children only knew that their fourth uncle and aunt went out for fun after getting married, and they had no idea what had happened.
Huo Qingchuan was silent for a while, but ultimately did not tell Jintang the truth.
just in case.
What if Fourth Brother really has a solution?
In his previous life, he was a half-immortal!
Huo Qingchuan had a faint hope in his heart, so he used the same words to Jintang.
"Who knows when he'll be back? He says he's traveling, but he's actually trying to understand the people's sentiments. He's got a lot going on outside, so he'll be back late."
Understand the people’s sentiments!
Jintang was a little moved.
He wants to go out too.
But now Brother Chen can't live without him, so they can only talk about it later.
Huo Qingchuan went into the palace to discuss matters.
First, the question of selecting a monarch to ascend the throne was rejected.
He abolished the old cabinet, selected capable people from the court, and reorganized the cabinet.
He appointed himself the chief minister, the head of all officials, and temporarily took over the emperor's full authority to decide all court affairs.
Several self-important elders cursed loudly as they were dragged away.
One of them insulted Huo Zhennan and was hacked to death on the spot, and the other two had their tongues cut off.
All the officials were silent as they realized that the handsome man with a jade face, who used to be polite and well-mannered, had become so fierce and majestic that no one dared to provoke him.
Huo Erlang is in charge of the imperial guards.
Huo Sanlang is in charge of guarding the capital.
There are also hundreds of thousands of troops guarding it.
Who dares to disobey?
Huo Qingchuan acted decisively and was determined to straighten out the capital city in the shortest possible time and cut off the deadlock.
Never drag your feet or waste effort.
He ordered the Second Prince's numerous crimes to be announced, and had him taken directly to Caishikou to be executed by slow slicing.
And there is Sang Xiuqi.
Sang Ning also explained that Sang Xiuqi should kill without mercy.
Mrs. Sang abused her, but that was not enough to convict her. So they should investigate whether she had done anything else wrong.
As for the other people in the Sang Mansion, they are not good people either, so we just deal with them impartially.
He ordered the execution of several people who were destined to die, and the detention and supervision of several others were pending.
He let go of the remaining officials who could be kept for observation for the time being, after all, the court needed to function.
It takes time to promote new officials.
Caishikou execution ground.
The second prince, who was once so arrogant and bullied men and women, was now covered in a foul stench and looked like a stray dog.
Without the skin of a prince, he was a rat crossing the street that everyone wanted to kill.
The people threw dung and mud on him.
He remembered that when several people from the Huo family were executed, none of the people threw away their remains, so he had to send people to do it.
He himself knows how hateful he is.
I never thought that the Yan Dynasty would be replaced by someone.
If he hadn't trusted Yan Zhinan so much, he would never have stayed in the capital to die, and would have escaped before the Huo family broke in.
It’s all Yan Zhinan’s fault. He has harmed a lot of people in the capital.
"Huo Changan... please spare me. I beg my father to spare your life..."
Although he saved the disabled Huo Changan in order to humiliate him more viciously, it also gave him a chance to survive, didn't it?
Poor idiot, he still thinks that it was he who begged the late emperor to release him.
In fact, that was all Yan Mingyu's decision.
It was only because of the joint pressure from Shen Ye's father, General Zhongyi, and several other officials who had close ties with the Huo family that Yan Mingyu finally released the useless Huo Changan.
However, because of this, those loyal ministers were later poisoned by Yan Mingyu.
The second prince's flesh was being cut one by one, and he howled incessantly.
The others buried their heads on the ground, trembling all over, waiting to die.
"Spare his life!"
A haggard and hoarse voice came from under the beheading platform.
Those supervising the execution today were all close associates of the Huo family, including Huo Qiuye himself.
Don't worry about seeing all the enemies of the Huo family die.
The person in the audience was an old lady over fifty years old. Huo Qiuye knew her as Song, the wife of the Minister of Personnel.
Among those beheaded on the stage today was her husband, Zhang Wenting, the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel.
"Madam Song, do you have any questions?"
Huo Qiuye stood up and looked at her coldly.
Song used to be at odds with his mother. In fact, many women in the capital were at odds with their mothers.
Because of the bad things that happened when my mom and dad got married.
Many superficial women look down on motherhood.
My mother stayed in the northern border and had no connections with the noble ladies in the capital.
Later, my mother came back. As my father's status rose, those people began to fawn over him. On the surface, they praised my mother for her vision, but in fact they were very jealous.
Because their father was in a high position and had great power, and he was loyal to their mother, which none of their husbands could do.
This old lady Song was also one of those who were jealous of my mother.
She even caused her husband to become estranged from her because of her unrestrained behavior.
The couple once quarreled like enemies, but they had to stay together because of family issues.
When we went to arrest Zhang Wenting, we heard that he was still chanting scriptures in the Buddhist temple!
Why is she coming to the execution ground now? Is she reluctant to let her husband die?
Zhang Wenting also raised his head and saw his elderly wife, tears streaming down his face.
When he was brought to the execution ground, none of his concubines came forward and they all hid far away.
His first wife, whom he only saw once a year, actually came to see him off...
"Song, I'm sorry for you in this life."
Song didn't even look at him.
"Mr. Huo, I have no doubt that Zhang Wenting deserves his punishment.
But, I still want to save his life.
Please don't execute me yet. Let me see Madam Huo first, okay?"
