Chapter 493 Humanity and Freedom ([-])

One month later

Yangong 250 Seventh Year Winter (467 Years)
Twelfth lunar month
Chang'e City

This is the first open and autonomous city among the many cities in the country of Yan. It has developed for more than 200 years under the joint jurisdiction of the three guilds [Taoyuan Guild], [Zhulu Guild] and [Peony Guild].

The representatives of the Municipal Council can elect a nobleman or legal heir of a noble from among the nobles of the Yan Kingdom to serve as the mayor. They can only elect the nobles of the Yan Kingdom or their legal heirs of the nobles. Among the recommended people, various officials are appointed.

When the municipal council is dissatisfied with the mayor, the mayor can be expelled directly after a majority of votes, but the new mayor can only be voted from among the nobles or legal heirs of the nobles.

During this period, "professional civil servants" were also born in the country of Yan. Some county officials in the country of Yan would choose to be administrators of the municipal council after they left their jobs to assist the municipal council in managing the city.

The municipal councils of counties and cities have very little power. They only have the power to make suggestions to the county chiefs, or report to Yandu to impeach the county chiefs.

As for the municipal councils of guild autonomous cities, their power is much greater, and they only need the majority of people to agree to change.

In addition, there is also the municipal council of the citizen self-governing city, which also has great power, but the interior is chaotic, and it is difficult to form a unified opinion.

At first, the Municipal Council was only a representative organization of public opinion, similar to the "Three Elders" and "Squire Teahouse" in the Central Plains. However, over the past 200 years, their self-government power has increased, and their status has improved a lot. The national version of the squire teahouse.

Today is a festive day for one of the three major guilds in Chang'e City [Peony Guild].

Because President Lin of the [Peony Guild] finally embraced his grandson.

His daughter married a Yuanzhi nobleman from the Yan Kingdom. The Yuanzhi nobleman from the Yan Kingdom was surnamed Li and his name was Huowang. In fact, he had nothing to do with a real nobleman.

President Peony’s son-in-law of the distant branch of the nobles of the Yan Kingdom, his father was a branch of the nobles who failed to compete for the number of nobles, and his grandfather was a parliamentary nobleman, but he was very ordinary among the many parliamentary nobles, and there was nothing wrong with him. where people are.

Although he has nothing to do with the real nobles of the Yan Kingdom, after all, he has the blood of the Yan Kingdom's clan in his body, so even if he is down and out, he is recruited by the Peony Guild as his son-in-law, and he is worthy of his daughter Lin Yueru.

"Come, come, let grandpa hug you." President Lin only has one daughter and no other children, so he intends to let his daughter inherit the family business, so he regards his grandson very seriously and plans to raise him as his own.

The midwife handed the baby boy next to the young girl Lin Yueru to President Lin, and said happily, "Congratulations President Lin, it's a boy."

"Good boy, good baby boy." President Lin was very happy. Equality between men and women only exists in the nobles of the parliament, while the people still have a strong idea that men are superior to women.

"Father, let me see the child more." The girl Lin Yueru turned pale.

The son-in-law Li Huowang on the side stood obediently. Although he had the blood of the royal family in his body, he did not have a seat in the parliamentary nobility, so he was not honorable.

President Lin doted on his daughter very much, so he gave the baby boy to Lin Yueru.

Lin Yueru stroked the child, pondered for a long time, and finally smiled and said, "This child is a gift from the heavens to our Lin family, why not name it...Lin Zhi."

"Lin Zhi, Lin Zhi, what a good name." Chairman Lin stroked his beard and smiled.

"Yue Ru chose a nice name." Husband Li Huowang held his wife's palm tightly and took care of the girl all night.

Chairman Lin is also very concerned about Lin Zhi's education, and he plans to hire the best teacher to teach him, and will send Lin Zhi to [Yandu Academy] for further study in the future.

This Yandu Academy was renamed Taohua Academy.

……

When the Lin family on the side of Chang'e City was still immersed in the joy of adding men.

Jin Guo
not its city

A grand wedding is going on, and the two parties to the wedding are Sima Xiu, the prince of Jin, and Liu Chuyu, the princess of Liu Song.

In order to stabilize Qingzhou, Liu Song chose to marry and form an alliance with Jin, so Emperor Liu Jun took his favorite daughter Liu Chuyu as a marriage princess and married Jin's crown prince Sima Xiu.

Sima Xiu is the only son of Sima Heng. He is handsome and talented. He has learned the art of war since he was a child.

Liu Chuyu is only 21 years old this year, and his husband Sima Xiu is only 24 years old, which is a match made in heaven.

In fact, Liu Jun originally wanted to form an alliance with Yan Guo, but Yan Guo practiced monogamy. Yan Gongche already had a wife, and Yan Gongche was already 70 years old, so he didn't want his daughter to marry a Bad old man.

As for marrying Yan Gongche's son or grandson?
Liu Jun has also considered it, but Yan Gongche has no heirs, and he has no adoptive heirs.

Liu Jun was very curious, aren't these Yan people worried about the extinction of the monarch?The monarch has no offspring, so why not adopt an heir?
Because of these circumstances, Liu Jun had no choice but to give up the idea of ​​marrying Yan, and instead married Jin.

However, the wedding on Jin's side was just about to take place.

Song State
Jiankang City

Royal Palace
"Hahahaha!"

"Yay yeah yeah!"

"The bastard is finally dead, and it's finally my turn to take the throne, la la la la!"

When Liu Chuyu went north to the state of Jin to marry, Liu Song Emperor Liu Jun became the second emperor who died on a woman's belly. The last emperor who was so lustful that he died on a woman's belly was Hancheng Emperor Liu Ao, who died in Zhao Feiyan Sister Zhao Hede's flower bed.

The absurd emperor who demolished his grandfather Liu Yu's former residence and built a palace, mocked Liu Yu's humble background, and massacred his own people in Guangling City died just as absurdly.

And his crown prince Liu Ziye is even more absurd.

Liu Ziye actually laughed wildly at his father's funeral, celebrating his father's death and finally being the emperor.

Liu Ziye pointed at the coffin of his own father Liu Jun and taunted: "Tsk tsk tsk, I thought you were so good, you will die so soon."

During the mourning period, Liu Ziye directly chatted with Gong E in the royal tomb, and performed making children at the entrance of the late emperor's tomb.

Another month later, Liu Ziye's biological mother, the Empress Dowager, was seriously ill. The Empress Dowager was a daughter of the Langya Wang family. I can only be a courtier of Emperor Liu Song honestly.

The Queen Mother ordered the eunuch to let her emperor's son come to visit her.

But the emperor Liu Ziye said: "There is a ghost in the patient's room, I won't go, and isn't it my mother? If she dies, she will die. What's the big deal?"

When this word reached the ears of the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother was furious: "Take the knife, I want to cut open my stomach, and see why I gave birth to such a beast."

Not long after, the Queen Mother died of illness, and Liu Ziye became even more unscrupulous without his mother's restraint.

He started killing his clan and ministers, first of all he killed his younger brother Liu Ziluan, just because he resented Liu Ziluan for taking away his father's love.

Before dying, Liu Ziluan said in despair, "I will never return to the emperor's house in my next life."

After killing his younger brother, he started killing his uncles again, and locked them up to humiliate them, and gave them various humiliating titles, just because it was rumored that these uncles of his wanted to usurp the throne.

Not only that, while humiliating his uncle, he also ordered the imperial guards to rape his cousins, because these cousins ​​laughed at him, and the princesses of Liu Song became the playthings of the imperial guards one after another. Unbearable humiliation and suicide countless.

It is forbidden for palace maids to wear clothes, and they will have sex at any time during the day, and if they get tired of playing, they will kill them on the spot and replace them with new ones.

All of the above happened in just five months.

Another day, Liu Ziye ordered the painters to paint portraits of the late emperors. After finishing the painting, Liu Ziye pointed to Liu Yu's portrait and said, "This is a great hero."

He pointed to Liu Yilong's portrait and said, "This one is okay, but it was killed by my own son."

Finally, looking at his father, Liu Jun, whom he hated the most, Liu Ziye was instantly angry. His father favored Liu Ziluan, who was born of his close relatives, which made him lack fatherly love since he was a child. So he pointed at Liu Jun's portrait and cursed at the painter: "Where's the rosacea? Where's his rosacea? Who told you to draw this stupid man so handsome?"
