Famine and exile: I brought the Spirit Spring to save the entire Marquis's mansion.

"The books in the world are like all things in the world; how many can you remember? Don't be arrogant."

Huo Qingchuan stroked his head and gently instructed him.

"Yes, Father, I've got it. I'll write a hundred books first, and I'll write the rest later after I've learned them."

How many?

One hundred books!

Jintang is very smart, he knew that before, but... In the past year or two, although he has a teacher to guide him, he has been running around everywhere. Can he settle down and do his studies seriously?

"Oh, by the way, Dad, when do you have time? Teacher Yue would like to have a chat with you."

"Tomorrow morning, go and tell your teacher that your father has half an hour tomorrow morning."

The moon is not round; the great-grandson of Yue Qiuyang, a renowned literary scholar.

Yue Qiuyang was implicated by the crown prince and demoted to Liangzhou, and never returned to the capital.

Even though his sentence had already ended.

It is said that the ancestral emperor once sent court officials to personally invite him back. Yue Qiuyang declared that he would not return to the capital, and that if his descendants wanted to return, they would do so through their own abilities in a dignified manner.

However, over the years, no descendant of the Yue family has risen to prominence.

If the moon isn't full, what are your skills?

"Tang'er, you said you wanted to write a hundred books, so let's start writing today."

"I'll get you a new study. You really can't come here anymore. I'll be discussing matters with your uncles here from now on."

"Yes, Father." Jintang nodded obediently.

"Oh, and one more thing," Huo Qingchuan added, "You need to take care of Sister Nianxi on a regular basis. Since your fourth aunt isn't here, you should look after her as much as possible."

And your sworn brother…

Both children now live in the Marquis's residence, and people have been assigned to serve them.

Wu Nianxi is an orphan, and Sang Ning specifically instructed that the Huo family would naturally raise her as their daughter.

Shao Songchen... His mother is still alive. Once Shao Qing is granted the title of nobility and a mansion according to his merits, and Madam Shao comes from the Northwest, everything will be fine.

"Father, I know that. When are Fourth Aunt and Fourth Uncle coming back?" Jintang asked, looking up.

The children only knew that their fourth uncle and fourth aunt had gone on a trip after their wedding, and they had no idea what had happened.

Huo Qingchuan remained silent for a while, but ultimately did not tell Jintang the truth.

just in case.

What if my fourth brother really has a solution?

He was a demigod in his past life!

Huo Qingchuan had a glimmer of hope in his heart, so he told Jintang the same thing.

"Who knows when we'll be back? We say we're going on vacation, but actually we're here to observe the lives of ordinary people. There are many things going on outside, so we'll be back a little late."

Get to know the people's needs!

Jintang was somewhat tempted.

He also wanted to go out.

But Chen-ge can't live without him right now, so we'll have to talk about it later.

Huo Qingchuan entered the palace to discuss matters.

First, the issue of choosing a ruler to ascend the throne was rejected.

He abolished the old cabinet, selected capable officials from the court, and reorganized the cabinet.

He appointed himself Grand Secretary, the head of all officials, and temporarily took over the emperor's authority to decide all matters of state.

Several self-important senior officials cursed loudly as they were dragged away.

One of them insulted Huo Zhennan and was killed on the spot; the other two had their tongues cut out.

The officials fell silent, realizing that the once polite and well-mannered young man had become stern and imposing, someone they dared not provoke.

Huo Erlang was in charge of the Imperial Guard.

Huo Sanlang was in charge of the capital's defenses.

There were also hundreds of thousands of troops heavily guarding the area.

Who dares to disagree?

Huo Qingchuan acted swiftly and decisively, determined to straighten out the capital in the shortest possible time and cut through any deadlocks directly.

Never drag things out or waste time.

He ordered the Second Prince's numerous crimes to be announced, and he was immediately taken to the execution ground and executed by slow slicing.

There's also Sang Xiuqi.

Sang Ning also confessed that Sang Xiuqi should be killed without mercy.

Madam Sang's mistreatment of her is not enough to convict her; then investigate whether she has committed any other evil deeds.

As for the other people in the Sang family, they are no better; they should be dealt with impartially.

He ordered the execution of several who were certain to die, and the imprisonment and supervision of several others whose fates were pending.

He spared the remaining officials who could still be kept for inspection, as the court needed to function.

New officials need time to be promoted.

Caishikou Execution Ground.

The once arrogant and domineering second prince, who bullied men and women, now reeks of filth and looks like a stray dog.

Stripped of his princely status, he was a rat everyone wanted to beat.

The people threw excrement and mud at him.

He remembered that when the Huo family members were executed, not a single commoner threw away their trash; he had to send people to throw it along the way.

He himself knew how hateful he was.

I never imagined that the Yan Dynasty would be replaced.

If he hadn't trusted Yan Zhinan so much, he would never have stayed in the capital to wait for death; he would have escaped long ago before the Huo family invaded.

It's all Yan Zhinan's fault; she's ruined a lot of people in the capital.

"Huo Chang'an... spare me! I beg my father to spare your life..."

Although he saved the already crippled Huo Chang'an in order to humiliate him even more viciously, he also gave him a chance to live, didn't he?

Poor fool, he still thinks he was the one who pleaded for the late emperor to release him.

Actually, it was all Yan Mingyu's decision.

It was only because Shen Ye's father, the Loyal and Righteous General, and several other officials with close ties to the Huo family exerted pressure that Yan Mingyu finally released the now useless Huo Chang'an.

However, because of this, those loyal and righteous ministers were later poisoned by Yan Mingyu with Gu worms.

The second prince screamed incessantly as his flesh was sliced ​​piece by piece.

The others buried their heads in the ground, trembling and waiting to die.

"Leave people under the knife!"

A weary, hoarse voice came from below the execution platform.

Those who oversaw the execution today were all trusted confidants of the Huo family, with Huo Qiuye personally in charge.

Do not let the Huo family's enemies all die.

The person below the stage was an elderly woman over fifty years old, whom Huo Qiuye recognized as Madam Song, the wife of the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel.

Among those beheaded on stage today is her husband, Zhang Wenting, the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel.

"Madam Song, do you have any objections?"

Huo Qiuye stood up and looked at her coldly.

Song had a strained relationship with her mother in the past; in fact, many women in the capital did not get along with their mothers.

Because when my mother and father got married, people spread bad rumors about them.

Many superficial women look down on mothers.

My mother stayed in the northern frontier and lost all contact with the noblewomen in the capital.

Later, Mother returned, and as Father's status rose, those people began to fawn over her, praising her for her good judgment on the surface, but secretly they were very jealous.

Because their fathers held high positions of power and were absolutely loyal to their mothers, none of their husbands could match them.

This old lady Song was one of those who resented my mother back then.

Furthermore, her lack of restraint led to a rift between her and her husband.

The couple once fought like enemies, but were bound together by family issues.

When they went to arrest Zhang Wenting, they heard that he was still chanting scriptures in the Buddhist hall!

How come she's at the execution ground now, unwilling 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; they all kept their distance.

His wife, whom he only saw once a year, actually came to see him off...

"Mrs. Song, I've wronged you in this life."

Song didn't even look at him.

"Third son of the Huo family, I have no objection. Zhang Wenting deserves his punishment."

However, I still want to save his dog's life.

"Please don't carry out the execution yet. Let me see Madam Huo first, is that alright?"
