Chapter 115 Anyone who wants to marry General Ji can sign up
Imperial Palace Side Hall
"Nan Zheng, you just came back and rushed to see me. Is there something urgent? Is your sixth brother okay?"
"Your Majesty, why did you agree to Gu Wanzhou's divorce?" Ji Nanzheng's tone was not very good.
The emperor immediately recognized the meaning and looked at Ji Nanzheng vigilantly.
"What? Are you blaming me?" The emperor was displeased with Ji Nanzheng's sour face.
"You are the emperor. I dare not." Ji Nanzheng said he dared not, but his stiff tone clearly revealed that he was blaming the emperor.
"I just can't understand. When I was away at war, you issued an order granting me marriage, and I accepted it as a favor from the king. But now, I'm not here, and you've issued an order for a divorce. I don't know what this means. I don't know how to accept it."
"So, are you unable to accept my will, or are you unable to accept the divorce from the Gu family?"
“None of them are acceptable.”
"You! How dare you." The emperor shouted angrily.
Ji Nanzheng did not back down, and still said in a stiff tone: "Your Majesty, I have expressed my feelings to you a long time ago. As a subject, I am willing to sacrifice my life for the country and the emperor, and shed my last drop of blood. But as for personal feelings, I want to make my own decision."
"But whether it's a marriage or a divorce, you didn't give me any choice."
The emperor was angry.
Didn't he give him the right to choose in the first place? He was just short of asking him to reject the marriage proposal directly. It was he who was tempted by her beauty. You bastard, now you're telling him that you didn't give him the right to choose.
Besides, wasn't it his own idea to divorce? The emperor searched his memory and confirmed that Gu Wanzhou had clearly said that it was something they had discussed.
Could Gu Wanzhou dare to lie about something like this?
Although he thought it was impossible, he inexplicably felt that Gu Wanzhou dared to do it.
To dare to deceive the emperor, one must be extremely bold, but Gu Wanzhou is obviously very brave.
It's so possible.
The emperor looked at Ji Nanzheng again and saw that his handsome face was stiff and deep in his eyes was an anger he had never seen before.
Could it be that this was really Gu Wanzhou's unilateral intention?
If this is true, it means that he, as the emperor, lost his wife while he was away.
Even if he was the emperor, doing such a thing as breaking up other people's wives was indeed somewhat immoral.
The emperor had different feelings towards Ji Nanzheng, so he patiently confirmed it with him and told him what Wan Zhou had said.
Ji Nanzheng became even angrier when he heard this.
When he left, he clearly told her to wait for him to come back, but she didn't even give him the time. Is he some kind of monster?
He was angry and hurt at the same time.
But he couldn't say that Wan Zhou lied, because that would make Wan Zhou suspected of deceiving the emperor.
But if it was indeed discussed beforehand, then what he said today was ridiculous.
After thinking for a while, he compromised and said, "It was discussed, but there is no conclusion."
When the emperor heard this, he realized that since they were discussing it, it meant that they wanted to divorce.
What kind of score are you trying to settle with me now?
You didn’t give me the choice, right? I’ll give it to you right now.
"I understand." The emperor pretended to order Eunuch Hong: "General Ji is my favorite general. I can't bear to see him alone at such an old age. Go and tell the Ministry of Internal Affairs to select 20 young noble ladies and let General Ji choose for himself."
"Wait a minute, General Ji is the god of war of our Yan country, and the scene of selecting a wife cannot be shabby. Go and directly draft an edict and post it. Any noble lady of the right age who wants to marry General Ji can sign up."
"General Ji has chosen his principal wife, and the others will be considered concubines. If there are too many people and the Duke's Mansion has no place to accommodate them, I will grant them another house."
Eunuch Hong's eyelids twitched as he listened.
"My dear Ji, what do you think?" The emperor stretched his neck, smiling, and looked like he was easy to talk to.
Ji Nanzheng: "..."
He is indeed a cunning and treacherous emperor.
This is asking him to choose? This is clearly an insult to him.
"Your Majesty, forget about choosing a wife. I choose to be granted a house."
"You want to divide the family? You have a mistress outside?" The emperor could not think of anything else.
Ji Nanzheng was not a money-loving person, so it was impossible for him to covet a house for no reason. He was also a man who valued filial piety, so it was very likely that he had a mistress.
No wonder Gu Wanzhou said it was a private matter that could not be told, it turned out that he had a mistress.
Gu Wanzhou is really rare. Even after the divorce, he still considers this bastard's face and covers up for him.
Thinking of this, the emperor couldn't help feeling a little lost and regretful, and sighed slightly.
Even Ji Nanzheng had a mistress. Hey, I thought he would be an exception. I thought he would treat his wife as wholeheartedly as he treats his country? He also had a mistress. He was wrong. He was wrong.
……
At this moment, Wan Zhou, who was in the teahouse of Juxian Building, suddenly sneezed, perhaps because of the emperor's muttering.
Huayang quickly poured her a glass of water.
She made an appointment with Huayang to discuss something today.
"Brother Huayang, I want to open a women's college..."
Establishing a girls' college was Wanzhou's mother's last wish.
My mother said in her diary that traveling through time to this era had a great impact on her, and the biggest shock was the restrictions and harshness on women in this era.
From the moment they were born, they have been constantly disciplined, telling them not to do this, not to do that, and many, many other things.
As a result, when they encounter problems, many of them are helpless, helpless, and just accept their fate, leading a miserable life.
My mother said that the women's college she wanted to open would teach people to be brave, independent, and to find the ability to find driftwood in the current. Even if you try your best and still can't escape the fate of being sunk, at least you have tried your best and struggled, and the end of your life will not be just endless regrets.
Wan Zhou herself has been born in two lifetimes and can deeply relate to her mother's point of view. In her previous life, she herself had no independent personality and was too credulous and dependent on others, which led to tragedy.
Since her rebirth, many of the things she has done are contrary to the norms required of women in this era, but she did them and won the situation she expected today.
Therefore, establishing a women's college is not only to help her mother fulfill her last wish, but also the career she chose for herself.
This time she wouldn't allow Huayang to be vague anymore.
"Brother Huayang, this time you must tell me how much property belongs to me?"
She had to know the size of the pot and the lid accordingly, so as not to use more than the required amount and have Huayang fill the gap for her.
Huayang glanced at Wanzhou, then looked away. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Miss, I need to go back and calculate this."
Huayang is the type of person who looks very serious if he doesn’t smile.
He was quite serious at this time, and Wan Zhou believed what he said.
But the next moment, he suddenly laughed. It was not a hearty laugh, but a forced smile.
"Miss, you may not know that after you have so much wealth, you don't want to calculate how much you have. I'm afraid that after seeing the number, you won't want to work hard anymore."
Wan Zhou: “…”
Why does it sound a bit like bragging? The kind of bragging that makes people want to go crazy and punch their fists.
It was rare to hear Huayang joking, so Wanzhou also laughed.
Seeing Wanzhou smile, Huayang smiled a little more, but still shyly.
Huayang understood Wanzhou's idea, his eyes became brighter and brighter, and he agreed immediately.
"Miss, don't worry about the money for now. After all, I am a wealthy businessman who doesn't know how much wealth I have. I have to sponsor you."
"Miss, please write down the specific ideas and leave the rest to me."
Wan Zhou saw Huayang joking with himself again, and seemed a little embarrassed, smiling subtly. He thought it was interesting and teased him.
"Brother Huayang, you can laugh. I thought you couldn't. If you can laugh, laugh more. It will make you look younger."
Huayang's ears turned red when he was praised.
