Interstellar boss dressed as a peasant girl and became rich

Chapter 201 Losing and winning

"If it were me, I would rather be a carefree prince who recites poems, paints, and travels every day, or be an ordinary common man who works at sunrise and sunset. And Xi, men farm and women weave, living a self-sufficient life without being tied to the throne.”

Hearing this, Gu Wu suddenly became furious: "You little girl, do you feel uncomfortable if you don't get beaten for a day? You dare to say anything outside!"

After saying that, Gu Wu stood up suddenly, grabbed the feather duster in the room, and swung it at Gu Yu angrily.

Today is different from the past. Now that Gu Yu is a mother, how can she stand still and let her father punish her like she did when she was a child?

And her husband was still watching, and she didn't want to embarrass herself in front of him.

Seeing that the feather duster in Gu Wu's hand was about to fall on him, Gu Yu quickly ducked out of the way, quickly hugged Han Yili beside him, and ran away.

Gu Wu's eyes widened and he looked at the scene that happened in front of him in disbelief - the two people who were sitting there steadily just now disappeared in the blink of an eye like evaporating from the world, leaving only two empty chairs?
A complex emotion suddenly surged in my heart. I was very angry but also felt a little ridiculous. I couldn't help but yell at the backs of the two of them: "You damn stinky girl, don't think you can escape, I have many ways to deal with you!" Wait until you come to the front yard and see how I clean up and teach you a lesson!"

Ms. Yang was completely shocked by this sudden turn of events. She never expected that Gu Yu would dare to lead her son-in-law to do such an outrageous thing.

She widened her eyes and stared straight at her husband, who was still holding the feather duster high and with an angry look on his face. She couldn't hold it in any longer. She quickly picked up a handkerchief and covered her mouth and laughed softly: "Okay, okay, Yu'er will follow me." Li has gone back to the courtyard a long time ago, so don't make any noise here."

"Hey, what do you old woman know?" Gu Wu didn't care at all whether he lost face in front of his wife. He threw the feather duster on the table, picked up the cup, raised his head and took a big gulp of tea. He muttered angrily.

The reason why he did this was not because he really wanted to beat Gu Yu.

I was just frightened when I heard Gu Yu's disrespectful and deviant words.

After all, no one can guarantee whether her daughter's unbridled talk will attract those with ulterior motives.

Besides, now that Gu Yu and his wife have disappeared without a trace, even if they want to take care of their daughter, even his old arms and legs can’t catch up!
On the other side, Gu Yu and Han Yili returned to their yard. Han Yili shook his head and laughed: "Aren't you afraid of making dad even more angry when we go back to the yard like this?"

Gu Yu was Gu Wu's biological daughter. She didn't understand that Gu Wu said he wanted to take care of her, but he didn't handle her gently every time. He said, "Don't be afraid. Besides, dad won't necessarily be angry. Let's go back to our yard earlier." Dad can go back to the house and rest early."

When Han Yili heard this, she said helplessly: "Be careful if we go to have dinner at night, dad will really beat you up."

"Ha, no way." Gu Yu said nonchalantly.

When the couple entered the room, Han Yili couldn't help but ask, "Ayu, regarding the supreme throne that controls the life and death of the people in the world, are you really what you said to your parents just now?"

In today's ancient society, imperial power has long been deeply rooted in people's hearts. The emperor was revered as the Son of Heaven and regarded as the spokesperson of God's will, and his rule naturally possessed undisputed legitimacy and sacrosanct authority.

Both ordinary people and high-ranking officials firmly believed that obeying the emperor's will was an act of God's will.

Gu Yu said that she didn't want the throne even if he gave her the throne. Is it true as Gu Yu said?
What Gu Yu said is true, of course, "Being an emperor can certainly wear a dragon robe, sit firmly on a dragon chair, show your sole majesty, and shock the world. It will make all living beings tremble because of it, control everything in the world, and make People dare not challenge the dignity of imperial power easily, but..." Gu Yu's tone suddenly changed and continued: "Being an emperor has both benefits and disadvantages. Although the emperor holds supreme power, he also shoulders an extremely heavy responsibility. Pressure and Responsibility.”

"The emperor must always be vigilant and guard against others coveting the throne and plotting to usurp it. At the same time, he must also worry about his own status and even his life."

Under such a strict hierarchical system in the current dynasty, the royal family enjoys absolute power and lofty status, while the general public can only succumb to the bottom of society and have to obey orders and unconditionally obey various orders issued by the upper class.

In addition, royal families often adopt various strategies to consolidate their dominance, such as formulating regulations, implementing reward and punishment systems, and so on.

The common people were in awe of the royal family, and for their own interests and safety considerations, most of the time they would choose to obey the royal family's orders.

Of course, in this class-conscious society, the common people clearly knew that they were in a humble position, so they regarded obeying the instructions of the royal family as an unshirkable responsibility and a supreme honor.

The laws set by the royal family are as solid as a rock, and no one dares to break them easily. Rewards and punishments are like two ends of a scale, checking and balancing each other, motivating people to be obedient.

Whenever the emperor issues an edict, it can arouse widespread concern and positive responses from the people.

They willingly obeyed the emperor's orders and did not hesitate to contribute their meager efforts for the prosperity, peace and stability of the country.

There is no doubt that Gu Yu has lived in Daqi for more than ten years, but at the same time she still retains the memories of her previous life.

The term constitutional monarchy is both familiar and unfamiliar to her, and it will make her involuntarily have some resistance.

As for why this resistance arises.

The reason is simple - she is very aware of the possible consequences of abuse of power, and she also understands the importance of democracy and freedom.

In her previous life, the concepts she accepted and pursued were: freedom, equality and the supremacy of individual rights.

However, in ancient times, the power held by the emperor was usually absolute and highly centralized, which inevitably restricted personal freedom and development.

In contrast, what modern people strive for is that individuals can think independently and make decisions independently. Naturally, it is difficult to accept a life style in which everything must be obeyed by the emperor.

In addition, society in the previous life was complex and fast-paced, and people increasingly advocated a simple, lively, and effective way of living.

What's more, with the advancement of the times, information transparency continues to improve, and democratic systems have also flourished... All of these have made people gradually lose interest in the role of the emperor.

Let people cherish a just and fair social atmosphere more and more, because the emperor system can easily lead to the abuse of power and the spread of inequality.

If she ascends to high office, her ideas will undoubtedly create a fierce intellectual confrontation with today's worldview.
