A quick journey starting from Wu Dalang

Chapter 178: Princess Huanzhu Extra

The emperor's hands were shaking, and he wanted to say something, but he couldn't utter a word. The considerate Concubine Wei Yanwan brought some water and calmed the emperor down: "Don't be angry, Hongli. We have to respond to the call of the country anyway. We are not ignorant people."

(I want Wei Yanwan to come to the new world and live a good life, and Shushen, we are all good babies and deserve equal life)

Hongli almost choked to death on a mouthful of water: "What did you call me?"

"Hongli, by the way, I put an announcement in the newspaper this morning saying I want to divorce you, and also Shushen, Hailan, Yuhe, etc.

In short, no one can live with you anymore, but there is good news. You can now truly become a unique couple with Empress Xiaoxian. Don't worry, Yongjue said that he will take care of you in your old age, so you can rest assured."

Wei Yanwan's words always hurt people's hearts. Just a few words broke Hongli's defense. Seeing that Hongli looked unhappy, Wei Yanwan turned around and left. Really, he still thinks he is the emperor?

Hongli could not accept that his Qing Dynasty had perished, and he insisted that Shiyi come to see him. However, after waiting for a long time, Shiyi still did not show up. Hongli thought that Shiyi was guilty, but he did not know that Shiyi was really busy.

Many years ago, Shiyi had prepared a large number of books promoting equality, using words and sentences that were more easily accepted by the Chinese people to create a world that everyone yearned for. More than ten years was enough for everyone to change their minds. Moreover, with Benjamin bringing back manpower to change productivity, it was also normal for people's cognition to change.

But even so, there are always many people who cannot accept the great changes in the world. Shiyi can certainly use bloody means and cruel changes to change all this, but Shiyi prefers to use a peaceful way.

A peaceful approach is bound to cause more trouble. Shiyi is not afraid of trouble. Compared with the current trouble, he can get more. This is why Hongli can never see his son.

Hongli obviously could not accept his current life. Even after spending money, he could still hire a large number of servants to take care of himself. However, compared to the emperor who held the power of life and death in the past, such a life like that of a landlord obviously could not satisfy him.

He was even worse than the landlords of the Qing Dynasty. After all, the landlords also had the ability to control the lives of their servants, but Comrade Hongli did not. Therefore, he was very dissatisfied and called his children to give them a good scolding.

Shiyi was unable to come, so Yongqi became the unlucky guy. He had to teach and take care of the children during the day, and was criticized by his old father when he returned home at night. No one could stand this kind of life, and Yongqi finally couldn't bear it anymore and exploded.

"Father, you only care about your own happiness, but you should also understand me as your son. I work hard every day, is it just for you to scold me at night? I think you are just idle every day, my mother is never so idle."

Of course Hai Lan didn't have the time, as she was busy taking care of the child. Even though she didn't like Xiao Yanzi and the child she gave birth to, she loved her son so of course she had to help take care of the child.

But Xiaoyanzi was in very good health, and the couple loved each other very much. In just a few years, they gave birth to six children, one of which was twins and one was triplets. The eldest one was raised by Yongqi himself.

Xiaoyanzi works as a teacher in a girls' school and is much busier than Yongqi every day. Yongqi also understands that Xiaoyanzi's work is hard and she has always handled it all by herself. Now that she has Hailan's help, she feels much more relaxed.

Poor Hailan has to take care of five children at her old age, and they are all naughty and playful. The boy is restless and the girl is as lively as Xiaoyanzi. Hailan looks at the five children every day and wishes she would die sooner.

Yongqi scolded Hongli, making him feel breathless. Until the matter had become a foregone conclusion, Hongli had nothing to say. At Yongqi's suggestion, he decided to find something for himself to do.

The first thing he tried was to take care of children, but how could Hongli take care of children? Every child was very resistant to this grandfather who couldn't take care of people. Over time, Hongli was disliked by all the grandchildren, and the autistic Hongli hid back in his own home.

In the end, it was Ziwei who suggested that Hongli try to teach students. Since those previous great scholars could not accept the current teachers, it would be most appropriate to let the former emperor teach these pedantic people.

The great scholars are working at a senior citizen university. Here, everyone has a quirky temper, but the thing they have in common is that their lifelong ideas of loyalty to the emperor and patriotism remain unchanged. When the teacher is replaced by the emperor they used to be loyal to, they all become very well-behaved.

Hongli expressed his feelings to a group of old men in their sixties and seventies, and persuaded everyone to accept the current situation. After all, he was a former emperor, and his brainwashing skills were first-rate. Moreover, he was facing people who were loyal to him, so naturally the effect was very good.

Even Yongqi couldn't help but feel that his father was really a brainwashing master. Every day, he watched those stubborn old men go in with gloomy faces and come out with stern faces. Yongqi and Xiaoyanzi would secretly tease Hongli.

"Father is really flexible. I thought he was going to go against my sixth brother."

"How is that possible? With the abilities of Sixth Brother and Sister Ziwei, they will sooner or later subdue Ah Ma completely." Xiaoyanzi is a little fan of Shiyi and Ziwei. This is a fact that Yongqi has accepted a long time ago. But it doesn't matter. As long as the wife is his, it's fine.

Xiaoyanzi and Yongqi were having a wonderful date outside, enjoying their harmonious time together. At home, Hailan was looking at the naughty children and wanted to die more and more.

"Grandma, do you know? Fish can never ride a bicycle in their lifetime." The third child held the book and nodded, not quite understanding it.

"Wow, poor fish, why can't it ride a bicycle?" Lao Wu covered his face and cried bitterly.

"Oh my, the fish are so pitiful." The fourth child also cried and secretly pinched the quiet sixth child. Now, the crying sounds continued one after another.

Hailan bowed her head in resignation: "Fish can ride on bicycles, don't you believe me?"

"Really? Grandma, I want to see!" The eldest child spoke at this time. Hailan glared at the children, took the goldfish in the fish tank and went out. A few little kids followed her out.

In the community, a gray-haired old lady was riding a bicycle while holding a fish tank. Some little kids clapped excitedly: "Grandma is so great! It turns out that fish can also ride bicycles?"

"But, this is a little goldfish, I'm talking about the big shark in the sea." The third brother said this and Hailan broke through the defense.

In the end, the matter ended with the third brother's book being confiscated. On the book were written in large letters: "One Hundred Thousand Wild Knowledges". The editor was actually Yinhuan. Hailan recalled this person and felt that this was indeed something the other party could do.

Compared to Hailan's miserable life, Shushen's life was much better. She had only one son, Yongji, who was always well-behaved and still young, still of school age. He came back every day to ask about her work, which made Shushen very happy. She felt that after divorcing Hongli, her life became more and more promising.

In the past, Hongli would only compare himself with others, saying that he was not good here and wrong there. However, she was obviously beautiful and talented, but she was first forced by Hongli to become a jealous woman, and later she was forced by him to lose interest in the world and only wanted to become a nun.

"Mother, what are you thinking about?" Yongqi asked while hugging Shushen's arm.

"It's okay, mother was just thinking about what to cook for you later." Looking at her son who cared about her, Shushen felt that this was good enough. Without Hongli's constant denial, she could just be herself.

Even when his children were old, the vigorous Hongli still complained to them about this matter: "You are making such a big move, at least you should wait until I die."

"My son has long known that you, Father, will live a long life, but he could not wait until that time," Shi Yiyi interrupted, and Hongli pointed his head at him.
