Training Wu Zhou

Chapter 151: 1 Life as a Slave

Slavery in the Tang Dynasty was a mixed product of the slave society brought to the imperial power society. Of course, by the end of the Tang Dynasty, under the appearance of the empire, the role of slaves was quite different from before. and half-free people.

The laws of the Tang Dynasty also made explicit regulations on this group of people. Although its strictness cannot be compared with that of the pre-Qin and ancient Han, it still sounds creepy.

The large-scale uprisings at the end of the Sui Dynasty and the widespread land equalization system implemented by Emperor Gaozong eased this part of the social conflicts. Most of the slaves came from captives captured in foreign wars, and some of them were mostly women.

But the same thing is that they have seldom participated in field production, and mostly used as construction, handicraft labor, and even formed a "pseudo-army", which is the role of prisoners of war.

The other part of the slaves called "servants" refers to women. Generally speaking, there are two kinds of slaves, one is domestic slaves and the other is official slaves.

As the name suggests, one is for private property, and the other is for state property, and Shangguan Wan'er still can't believe that she was assigned as a slave in this way, and she is still Tang Guan's domestic slave.

She didn't know how Tang Guan would treat her, she only knew that she had made the most definite choice between life and death.

Moreover, the birth of the imperial examination itself had conflicts with slaves. Most of the officials who entered the official career through the imperial examination disdain to raise domestic slaves for no other reason, because their old rivals, the old nobles, never tire of it.

Shangguan Wan'er was bewildered by Wu Zhao's act of venting. As soon as she stopped laughing, a hand letter fell to her eyes.

"Pick it up."

Shangguan Wan'er knelt down on the ground, staring blankly at the handwritten letter floating in front of her.With her delicate body trembling slightly, she stretched out her hand and picked it up slowly.

You have no jokes.Wu Zhao is not only talking, but the way of speaking is the law of the king.With words and evidence, the last gleam of light in Shangguan Wan'er's eyes disappeared immediately.

"From now on, you are Tang Guan's domestic slave. If you give birth to a son, you will be castrated as a slave in the palace. If you give birth to a daughter, you will be sent to the military camp as a prostitute."

Wu Zhao seemed to be afraid that Shangguan Wan'er would not understand what was written in the handbook, so she repeated it again, but Shangguan Wan'er felt ashamed.She knew what Wu Zhao meant by saying that.

It was nothing more than to tell her not to use any means to get rid of her identity, including flirting with anyone. No matter how good she is, no one will try to resist the court for her, and there will be no nobles who are so stupid as to vent their desires for themselves for a while. His family was humiliated by slaves.

Not only Wu Zhao was sure of this, but also Shangguan Wan'er herself.

At this point, she should be dead, right?

Then she is not Shangguan Wan'er.When she was young, she had seen the horrors of the slaves, those people still lived for the sake of living, not to mention Shangguan Wan'er knew that even if she died immediately, the terrifying woman in front of her would have a way to make herself die badly after death.

This was a ridiculous farce.But it produced even more ridiculous results. When all the glory and power in the world are concentrated on one person, that person is called the emperor.Even if he or she didn't take this title, he is the emperor!

Tang Guan, who was in a coma, hadn't realized that he had pushed Shangguan Wan'er into a desperate situation.But Wu Zhao still felt that something was missing, she ignored Shangguan Wan'er on the ground.He muttered to himself.

What was missing was Tang Guan's eyes. Tang Guan kowtowed to her like a slap in the face. It's normal for him to be afraid of himself at a young age, but Tang Guan never raised his head from the beginning to the end. Wu Zhao never looked into his eyes!

Thinking of Wu Zhao slowly looking at Tang Guan on the couch, she didn't care that his blood stained her dragon couch, what she cared about was that Tang Guan thought of her as a snake.

A person who could read her mind, a person who attracted the attention of the world, was exactly what she needed, but what she didn't need was a disobedient person.

Thinking of this, another cold light flashed in Wu Zhao's eyes. Shangguan Wan'er was like a chicken rib to her, dispensable. Tang Guan seemed to have a good impression of her. What he said intermittently just now should have something to do with Mingtang. If so, it's better to take her Put it next to Tang Guan to show vigilance.

But as soon as the thought came to an end, the thought came up again, Shangguan Wan'er was assigned to be a slave to him, Tang Guan must have been sadly afraid, and even more afraid of the imperial power, Shangguan Wan'er is indeed very smart, she can be called knowledgeable, but it is of no use.

But if she put it next to Tang Guan intact like this, she suddenly felt that just because Tang Guan didn't show surrender when he surrendered, Wu Zhao had a poisonous plot in his heart again!

What women cherish the most is their appearance. Wu Zhao is the emperor, but she is also a woman. It can be said that half of her thoughts are on her appearance, otherwise she would not be where she is today. She started by confusing the harem, knowing that as a woman How attractive is appearance to a man!

Her husband Li Zhi welcomed her into the palace because he dared to risk the disgrace of the world. No matter what Wu Zhao went through during that time, Wu Zhao understood a truth. In this world, appearance is the key to capital. one.

Thinking of this, Wu Zhao slowly looked at Shangguan Wan'er on the ground. At this time, Shangguan Wan'er was only thirteen or fourteen years old, but she was very heroic, and there was a charming charm between her brows. Women are indeed a rare beauty for men.

The current Tang Guan may not have any thoughts, but after staying for a few years, after Tang Guan has a masculine nature, even if there is a bond of slavery, he may change.

Especially when Shangguan Wan'er frowned, Wu Zhao saw the shadow of her grandfather!

This really made Wu Zhao feel uncomfortable. Back then, the two prime ministers of the Shangguan family made things difficult for her, which almost made her fall short, and fell on the road to dominating the harem.

This is the first big hurdle in her life, she has crossed it, and it has been out of control ever since.

When she was a nun, she was able to stand up and become the master of the harem. She, who challenged the etiquette all her life, would also question whether Shangguan Wan'er would be a salty fish if she was a slave?

Thinking of this, she suddenly said, "Pick up the knife."

As soon as the words fell, Shangguan Wan'er on the ground was unmoved, and Wu Zhao raised her voice a little and shouted: "I asked you to pick up the knife!"

Shangguan Wan'er suddenly came back to her senses, and subconsciously picked up the silver makeup knife. She didn't want to die, and Wu Zhao also saw that she didn't want to die.

The current Shangguan Wan'er's behavior is still simple, and she can say that she has no reservations in front of Wu Zhao, unlike Tang Guan who falters and haws, and behaves in a confusing manner.

Compared with the two, the immature Shangguan Wan'er was indeed dwarfed by the comparison. Wu Zhao looked at Shangguan Wan'er's eyebrows that resembled the prime minister of Shangguan even more disgusted in his heart.

He opened his mouth and said, "I hate your flamboyant eyebrows. You should have insulted the royal family and seduced foreign ministers. I should let you be tortured by Ling Chi!"

Shangguan Wan'er held the silver makeup knife, her delicate body trembled again.

"However, the number one scholar said that you are still useful, so I will spare your dog's life. Death penalty is inevitable, and living crime is inevitable. Now go to your master and slash yourself in the face, and I will let you be your servant!"

"Hiss." Finally Shangguan Wan'er gasped, Wu Zhao went too far, but she still didn't want to die.

She has no feelings for Tang Guan at all, as her chest heaves, there is only one voice left in her heart, that is unwillingness, she is unwilling to die like this!

Finally, she got up slowly, walked slowly to the dragon bed with a silver knife in her hand, and looked at Tang Guan on the bed with a complicated expression.

After a long time, he finally closed his eyes tightly, and slowly raised the knife to his face, which woman does not love beauty, this inescapable fate will eventually patronize her, but Tang Guan, who is right in front of her eyes, doesn't know anything about it.

Tang Guan's thin lips were tightly closed, and his heroic white and tender face was a little pale due to blood loss. He didn't realize that Shangguan Wan'er was about to carry out the fate he had tried to change before his eyes.

The tip of the knife had already reached the pretty face, but at this moment Wu Zhao said again: "I said it, I hate your flamboyant eyebrows, draw them from the center of the eyebrows!"

Shangguan Wan'er, who closed her eyes tightly, was like a marionette, completely willing to let go. The so-called eyebrows express affection, the eyebrows on a woman's pool of autumn water are one of the most beautiful, and she naturally cherishes them very much on weekdays.

"Hiss." The tip of the knife was drawn down slowly, and drops of blood rolled down, along Qiong's nose to Tan's lips, and then fell down drop by drop.

This is the beauty of beauty, Shangguan Wan'er's beautiful eyes were tightly closed, her teeth were closed, but the severe pain still made her gasp, this process was very long, but it was rare for her not to shed a single tear.

Finally, the severe pain and humiliation broke through her psychological direction, and a vertical gap separated her forehead and brows, her eyes went dark, and she passed out on the ground.

Over there, Wu Zhao watched the scene without changing her expression. She didn't stand up until Shangguan Wan'er passed out on the ground.

Looking at Shangguan Wan'er, who was bleeding all over her face, Wu Zhao didn't have any regrets in her eyes.

At this moment, a report came from outside the door.

"Your Majesty, Zhuangyuan Lang's guards are seeking an audience outside the palace."

Wu Zhao frowned when she heard the words, then leaned over and picked up the makeup knife stained with Shangguan Wan'er's blood, and said, "Xuan."

"Yes."

The people outside the door seemed to have left after hearing the sound, so Wu Zhao looked at the two young men in front of him, with a subtle smile on the corner of his mouth.

But the two teenagers were both unconscious, one with blood on his chest and one with blood all over his face.

Wu Zhao sniffed the smell of blood in the air obsessively, like a demon flower, the two young people are rare geniuses, but I am a flower that blooms and kills a hundred flowers! (To be continued..)
