1791st: The Dust Settles

On the plane of Xianyu, to change your name and surname, you only need to bring your ID card, household registration booklet, application report and other documents to the household registration authority to apply for change registration. It's easier to stay in Jiang Pengji's plane, just log in to Tiannao's personal account and apply.

However, the current era is not so convenient.

Not only is the process cumbersome, but it also faces many obstacles and even condemnation from public opinion.

People often say "if you don't change your name when you're in business, you don't change your surname when you sit down." Changing your name and surname at will can rise to a character problem.

The name is bestowed by the parents of the family. Changing it privately is enough to be labeled as "forgetting the ancestors and being unfilial". People will not change their names easily.

Of course, looking at the history books, there are many people who changed their names and surnames, but they are all special cases.

For example, avoiding disasters and avoiding the pursuit of enemies, this kind of anonymity is helpless; for example, the superiors give names and surnames, which usually happens to slaves with lower social status, and giving names and surnames is honor rather than root; In this case, the name change is the main reason, and the surname is rarely changed; for example, the man enters into the woman's family to continue the incense for the woman's family and pass on the family line.

Apart from these relatively common examples, there are some that are relatively rare. A typical example is the three northern Xinjiang tribes that were defeated by Jiang Pengji. In order to speed up the centralization of these foreign people and to normalize their culture, Mr. Sun Wen has implemented many targeted policies in the past few years in the northern border of Beizhou. In short, many people from the three ethnic groups in northern Xinjiang gradually changed their surnames to the Central Plains. After tasting the sweetness, more and more people from other ethnic groups did the same.

For them, the surname is not that important. Changing the name and surname can make their life better, so change it.

The people of the three ethnic groups in northern Xinjiang think so, and some discerning people who have studied the culture of the Central Plains saw it, and felt heartbroken and helpless at the same time.

The trend of the times, when the Northern Xinjiang imperial court and more than ten thousand nobles were slaughtered by Jiang Pengji, Northern Xinjiang was completely over.

Unless Jiang Pengji falls and the Central Plains is split up again, Northern Xinjiang will only be eaten away.

Counting all these cases of changing names and surnames, which one does Jiang Pengji belong to?

She doesn't count in any of them, just because her stepmother poisoned her and her family plotted her foundation, she resolutely chose to cut off from the Liu family. Even if the person who gave the name and surname is an old god, the name given by heaven, it still can't change her fickleness and determination in this matter.

Her biological father, Liu She, is still there. Regardless of Liu She and Liu Zhao's attitude, Jiang Pengji chose to change her name and surname. Have you asked their opinions?

"I really have no opinion on this matter. I have already prepared for this."

When she said this, Liu She was wearing a green-brown Confucian shirt, the wide sleeves were tied with loops, and she was holding a watering can for watering flowers, and she was leisurely and comfortably planting flowers and grass under the window. There are many precious flowers around the fence outside the courtyard, and the fragrance of flowers in the courtyard is overflowing.

Liu Zhao followed Liu She and handed him the deworming clip, and the father and son spent a leisurely afternoon together.

"But sister, this matter is too much trouble. I heard that in the past two days, the elders of the clan have always come to look for my father..."

There was a slight smile on the corner of Liu Zhao's lips. After a few years, the greenness on his face completely faded away, and he transformed into a handsome young man.

"Yeah, they've been blocked by them for the past two days, so I dare not go out to visit relatives and friends."

Liu She clamped down the little bugs lying on the flowers and leaves, these flowers and plants were so precious to him, even if a bug gnawed out a small hole, he felt distressed.

Liu Zhaodao, "This is an emergency medical treatment."

As far as Liu Zhao knew, Liu She had long since given up on things.

In the past, when there was no showdown, Liu She could still use her father's status to persuade Jiang Pengji, but now that it's open, it's not certain who will call the bully of the two dramatists. Liu Zhao was not very clear about the inside story, but she also knew that the relationship between Liu She and Jiang Pengji was not as "a loving father and a filial daughter" as the outside world thought. If some occasions were not unavoidable, this pair of plastic flower father and daughter would probably rush to "never meet each other in life, never run into each other in death, urgent occasions, and maintain a scene". Liu She is fine, but Jiang Pengji doesn't want to call her father every day.

Regarding real age,

Everyone is about the same, why should she be a generation shorter when they meet?

So, it's useless for Liu's elders to harass Liu She frequently.

Liu She smiled and said, "Your elder sister has put on this posture, can they not be in a hurry? You have to try it if you go to the doctor for a sudden illness."

Liu Zhao pursed his lips, and he asked his father worriedly.

"Sister, you won't really do anything to Liu Shi and stepmother, right?"

Liu She asked Liu Zhao to hand him scissors, and carefully cut off the excess branches and leaves, so that these flowers can bloom better.

While cutting, he said, "If you were a gardener, looking at the messy branches and leaves all over the yard, would you pull out the roots of these plants?"

"Of course not. If it grows messy, it can be pruned. Why do you have to uproot it?" As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Zhao understood what Liu She meant. , does not mean to catch everything?"

Liu She straightened her upper body, staring at the flowers surrounded by the fence for a moment.

"Catch them all at once? She may have this idea, but it can't be now." Liu She smiled, "One is that the timing is not ripe, and the other is that those shrubs have deep roots and leaves. Your sister only has a pair of small scissors in her hand, and she can't cut them all at once. Cut off all of them... It's better to slowly repair them, if you can cultivate them into the shape you want, that's the best. If you can't, wait until the wings become fuller before pulling them out."

After hearing this, Liu Zhao felt chills all over, and once again realized that he was a few ranks behind these two actors.

"Don't rush for quick success, take your time, it's the right way. Your elder sister knows this well. How could those idiots out there be her opponents? You should also learn more, don't be sold out and give back the money." Liu She said with emotion, "Outsiders say that your elder sister is superb in martial arts and swept away thousands of troops, but they don't know that attacking the city is just a tactic, and attacking the heart is the best strategy. A person with brute force is not scary, and it is just a hand The murderous knife that can be used is terrifying because you, sister, who is powerful in force and good at killing people's hearts, can't be messed with."

Liu Zhao nodded, "Is it the same with the stepmother and the Liu family this time?"

"It's not just the Liu family and your stepmother, the other families are also her targets."

Liu Zhao was very confused when he heard this, and Liu She was a little angry when he saw it.

This son was quite smart at first, but he hides his clumsiness and pretends to be a pig and eats a tiger. Now he has really become a pig, and his brain is worrying.

After Liu She analyzed it carefully for him, Liu Zhao finally understood the whole situation set up by Jiang Pengji.

At the same time, he also understood whether it was his stepmother, Liu She who betrayed him first, or Jiang Pengji who punished him first.

Liu She said with emotion, "You are also a rare person who can be taken seriously by her. If you keep your heart, she will not touch you."

"What if you change your mind?"

"Then the next person to be punished is you."

Even so, Liu Zhao still felt a little timid.

"Sister-in-law won't kill Liu She and the others, so what will happen to the stepmother?"

Liu She said calmly, "The stepmother you are talking about is the stepmother of the father, and it is impossible for your sister to change her name and surname to kill the stepmother for her father. Most likely, she fell out and let your stepmother be Liu She's wife in peace." .If she still refuses to settle down, your elder sister may let Wei father reconcile with her and take away her identity as Mrs. Liu She. Without the status of stepmother, it is not easy to kill or scratch?"

It has to be said that Liu She's judgment on Jiang Pengji was very accurate.

No matter how much the outside world opposed and ridiculed, Jiang Pengji stubbornly changed her name and surname.

No matter how ruthless the outsiders objected, it didn't work. Even Liu She, the biological father, did not stand up to oppose his daughter's behavior, so what could outsiders do?

Not long after she announced the news, Gu Zhen, who was temporarily imprisoned, couldn't take it anymore and insisted on meeting Jiang Pengji in person.

Gu Zhen didn't come to admit her mistakes, she came to make excuses.

Jiang Pengji took time out of her busy schedule to meet her, and bumped her a little while, lest Gu Zhen step on her bottom line.

For the sake of Nie Xun and Meng Heng, Jiang Pengji didn't want to really do anything to Gu Zhen.

"What was promised at the beginning, why is it that you reneged on your promise and gained weight?"

Gu Zhen has been imprisoned for the past few days, her silk and satin have been removed, and her temple hair has no pearls, hairpins or gemstones, she looks very plain and haggard.

Jiang Pengji didn't even bother to roll her eyelids, she said, "I'm not the one who breaks my promise and gets fat."

Gu Zhen was so angry that her face turned livid, "It's not you, then who locked me here? I'm still your stepmother, your real aunt!"

"You and I know very well that you are nothing!" Jiang Pengji sneered, "I promised you at the beginning that as long as you hide it for me, I will give you endless glory and wealth. Let me ask you, how little I have given you these years You spend more than ten thousand pennies every year, and I am not short of military expenses, and I am not short of you, so benevolent and righteous! How did you treat me? What are the identities of those little bastards from the Liu family?"

Gu Zhen's face was not flustered, she quibbled, "Heng'er and Xun'er have been separated from me since they were young, and now they have a family and a career with their own wives and children, and they are not close to my mother. Your father lives alone all year round, we It's just that the house is deserted, and seeing those children are quite eye-catching, they put them by your side to take care of them, and relieve the boredom. Is such a trivial matter worth your suspicion?"

Jiang Pengji sneered and asked back, "The two cousins ​​are not close to you, they are both grown up, but their sons and daughters are young. If you really feel lonely, why don't you take your granddaughter and grandson with you to raise them?" To relieve boredom, instead raise Liu's children? You married your father as your stepmother, but apart from this relationship, what relationship do you have with Liu's next-door heirs?"

Instead of raising grandchildren and grandchildren, instead raising children who have no blood relationship at all, is this called relief?

Gu Zhen still wanted to defend herself, but Jiang Pengji lost her patience.

"All I can give you is glory and wealth."

Apart from this, Xiao shouldn't think about anything else, let alone controlling Jiang Pengji in turn.

Gu Zhen saw that Jiang Pengji was serious and unceremoniously tore off her false exemption, she couldn't help but sneered.

"The glory and wealth you speak of is the wealth of thousands of dollars like alms?"

Jiang Pengji said, "There is also a future empress dowager."

"The empress dowager who has no rights is just an old lady with some status. Does it depend on your face when you say or do anything?"

Jiang Pengji smiled, "You seemed to be very satisfied with the Empress Dowager back then, why are you dissatisfied now?"

At that time, he only wanted a position of dignity below one person and above ten thousand people, but now he wants to be above ten thousand people, the top of ten thousand people.

Jiang Pengji's plan is true, but Gu Zhen's desperation and poisoning are also true.

Do you really think that if you poison her to death and support those few children from the Liu family, you will be able to listen to the government behind the curtain and become the powerful empress dowager above tens of millions?

Did Liu She and Liu Zhao really die?

Or in other words, she has a whole set of other operations?

Jiang Pengji was very disappointed, "I thought you were a smart woman, but I didn't expect you to be a smart woman. Compared with Gu Min, you are more than one rank behind. She will strive for the best interests for herself within the allowed range, while you will only use A good deck of cards is broken."

She didn't do anything to Liu She, and she took so much care of Liu Zhao, mostly because of Gu Min's face.

"Do you really think that no one knows your true face?" Jiang Pengji didn't look at Gu Zhen's livid face, and said mockingly, "I knew it from the first time I saw you. When I hinted at you, I would give it to you." The honor and status that you Liu Xi cannot give, you accepted me for this, and no longer pursue you. When you watched Liu Xi grow up, I knew what kind of person you are. Could it be that I shouted at you all these years? Your mother, saluting you as a junior, really gave you the illusion that I sincerely regard you as a mother?"

When Jiang Pengji spoke so bluntly, Gu Zhen's face turned a little greener, almost black enough to drip ink.

"Stop quibbling, I dare to tell you this, naturally because I have all the ironclad evidence."

Gu Zhen also stopped pretending, and said with a sinister smile, "Why, you want to kill me?"

"How could it be? You are still father's stepmother, how can you kill your elders? If I really kill you, I will naturally make my father reconcile with you before I kill you." Jiang Pengji looked down at Gu Zhen from a high position, her cold voice was unstoppable. With the slightest emotion, "In this life, we will never see each other again until we reach the Underworld!"

This matter was also spread, and many people who asserted that Jiang Pengji would be angry and kill her mother were slapped in the face.

The stepmother is not the biological mother, and the sentence "I will never see you again until the end of the world" is enough.

Jiang Pengji throws Gu Zhen to Liu She, and confines her in Liu She's courtyard. Without orders, she cannot step out of the courtyard, let alone see outsiders.

The expenses for food and clothing no longer go to Jiang Pengji's private treasury, but to Liu She's, and all the preferential treatment in the past has been withdrawn.

The people who served Gu Zhen were all replaced by Jiang Pengji's eyes and ears.

Liu She is a retiree, and her pension is enough, but she can't afford to squander it.

After closing Gu Zhen, the next one is to deal with Liu Shi.

More and more people seek Liu She for emergency medical treatment.

Liu She always used "the child is old, he doesn't care about the child's choice" to reject it.

If someone said that Jiang Pengji changed her name and surname, and did not recognize her ancestors, it was unfilial and should be restrained, and his answer would be even more pedantic.

"This name is given by the heavens, and the name given by the gods is not guilty. Isn't this more glorious than the name and surname given by the emperor in the world?"

Just as Liu She expected, Jiang Pengji didn't cut Liu's across the board, and kept some leeway.

Even so, the hit was all-around.

If they should be killed, they should be killed, if they should be arrested, they should be arrested, and if they should be exiled, they should be exiled... Not only people have been cut off, but a large part of their property has also been dug up. If the Liu family is like this, let alone the other families, each of them will be seriously injured.

This wasn't too bad, but the bad thing was that someone, under Jiang Pengji's secret push, made trouble for them!

After multiple suppressions, their arms couldn't twist their thighs, and they were badly repaired by Jiang Pengji.

After this incident, if someone reaches out to Jinlin Academy, they will have to weigh it carefully.
