The news of the emperor's downfall reached Wenxian, and there was an uproar, everyone was panicked like a deer stepping into a trap, feeling that the sky was falling apart and it seemed that it had reached the end of the world, it seemed that the Lord of Yama opened his fangs and waited for the next day to start eating people, and the good men and women kept chanting the scriptures like headless flies, and at the same time silently made a big wish in their hearts, as long as God got an emperor or something to come out to bless this Chixian Shenzhou, there will be three livestock and six animals in the coming year, and the golden body will be reshaped.

Maybe it's because of the blessing of the soul, the news of General Yuan's accession to the throne as the president came like the wind the next day, people couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and their backbones stood up again, maybe in their eyes, the president is so unfamiliar with the same words as the emperor, the king of heaven, and the son of heaven, but it is just another honorific title.

People's hearts seem to have regained peace, but in fact, the bleak and cold atmosphere is still shrouded in people's heads, just like the beginning of spring has passed, and there will still be a biting cold wind blowing outside the window.

The Chang family is one of the famous big families in Wen County, there have been many officials in a hundred years, and the highest official even has the glory of drinking tea and chatting with the emperor, but in the county annals, this person is just a Hanlin editor, not a high-ranking official, but in the eyes of the foolish man and foolish woman in the countryside, it has become an unattainable existence.

Don't look at the reputation of others, but it is very low-key, the huge Changjia compound covers an area of only more than ten acres, is a typical shaft-type wealth gathering quadrangle, revealing a rustic, not as arrogant as the old Chen family, but has the strongest courtyard wall within a radius of more than 100 miles, more than 100 years to repel the bandits and bandits, become the mainstay of this place, the chaos of the party in the flesh.

When the news of the emperor's downfall came into this compound, the old lady's expression was gloomy, and he rolled out of the sedan chair at once, so frightened that the housekeeper immediately ran over, helped the old lady up, and carefully sent him back to the Chang family compound. The old man's face was pale, and he found Lang Zhong to treat the old lady as if he was in a funeral, and he didn't even wait for Lang Zhong to finish diagnosing his pulse, so he found the housekeeper to hurriedly settle the bill and grab the medicine, and was silent at the old lady with two lines of tears.

The entire Chang family compound has not been so quiet for hundreds of years, the wind blows across the ground, and the falling dust startles the greedy sparrows.

"The emperor is gone, there is no emperor again! This son of the world doesn't know what to do! It is difficult for the great inheritance left by the ancestors to be destroyed in the hands of the son! ”

Master Chang was dumbfounded, but his heart was like boiling water.

Chinese civilization for 5,000 years, why don't you want the emperor all of a sudden! That's not the same as the Fanbang savages.

Just when he was thinking about it, suddenly there was a piercing sound of closing the door in his ears, which was the sound that had been floating in the entire Chang family compound for two hundred years, and he was familiar with it since he was a child, even if he heard the sound of closing the door in the outer village, it was like entering the door, every time he heard this voice, there was a deep sense of intimacy bursting out from the blood, but this time it was so harsh, piercing and heartbreaking!

"What's going on! What door to close in broad daylight! There are no rules! ”

Master Chang's face was gloomy and roared like a dead man, so frightened that people fell silent, only the butler said boldly: "The young master said that the emperor is gone, it's not terrible, I'm afraid that some people will be blinded by lard in this joint eye, and it will attract the attention of our Chang family!" ”

"This little beast isn't crazy!" Master Chang said fiercely, but after speaking, he was stunned, and almost lost his voice: "This is what Zhenbang said?" ”

The housekeeper saw that the old man's anger retreated slightly, and he took half a step forward and whispered: "Master, the young master also said that he has something to discuss with you, if you don't want to see him, the young master said that he will be the host himself." ”

"Bastard thing! When will it be his turn to call the shots in this family? Don't let him get in yet! The anger that Master Chang descended was spurred up again by this sentence.

The housekeeper hurriedly retreated, and after a while, a young young man walked in slowly, a scholar in his early twenties, his body was not as thin and fair as he imagined, and his slightly darkened complexion flashed with the luster of healthy youth. The most striking convenience is his head.

When the emperor was in power, he kept his head without hair, and he kept his hair without his head!

As soon as the news of the emperor's abdication came, this kid twisted his braids, just like when he was studying in the East, he was picked up by those little braids.

Said that he Chang Zhenbang is also a celebrity in Wenxian County, when he was a teenager, he went to the East in high spirits, and after coming back, he cut off personal contacts without saying a word, and never came out of the study again, and then looked at his foreign classmates, that is not a high-ranking official to do, a horse to ride, and then look at his decadence and dilapidation as if he lost his soul, although Master Chang invited the master to come over several times to call the soul, Chang Dashao is still his own way, and no longer has the original high-spirited appearance, and gradually becomes a laughing stock after people's tea and dinner.

Master Chang's face was just better, and when he saw it, he became gloomy again, and said, "You ......"

He looked at his son, only to feel a mouthful of blood rushing from his chest to his mouth, he stared at his son's hair, raised his fingers as if he was panicking, the housekeeper saw that he was busy, and he grabbed Master Chang and gently patted him on the back. Master Chang glanced at the butler gratefully, and then said fiercely: "Damn little beast, what about your braids!" Where's your braids! Do you know that if you don't have braids, you're going to have to cut them all over the house! It's all over the place! ”

Chang Zhenbang touched his head, smiled faintly, and said, "Dad, you said that dirty braids?" Galeries Lafayette cut it when he returned to heaven! ”

"What!"

When Master Chang heard this, he took a few steps back, only to feel that his eyes were black, and his body was weak, if it weren't for the housekeeper's quick eyes, he would have been spread on the ground a long time ago, and he knew that this little beast was so disobedient and bastard, it was better to let him stay in Dongying, although Dongying was a small country, but there was also an emperor who was always there!

"What's all the fuss about!" Chang Zhenbang said indifferently: "Who in this small Wen County doesn't know that I, Chang Zhenbang, am a madman and a fool?" Who can braided with a madman or a fool? Besides, Lafayette is gone, the emperor is gone, who cares about braids or not? ”

"You ......"

Master Chang's eyes widened, the young man in front of him was so familiar and so unfamiliar, and he seemed to have the majestic and heroic look before studying abroad, but the idea of having no father and no king really made him a little unbearable.

"Dad, it's the Republic of China now. Yuan Shikai became the president......"

When Master Chang heard this, he immediately pushed away the housekeeper, jumped over, covered Chang Zhenbang's mouth, looked left and right, and saw that there were no outsiders, so he breathed a sigh of relief, and said hurriedly: "Bastard, how dare you say the name of the president!" ”

"Cut!"

Chang Zhenbang pushed away his father's hand and said sincerely: "Daddy, the emperor is gone, and now they are all republic." The world has changed, and it's time to change some ideas! ”

"Isn't Zhou Tianzi still reigning after Zhou Zhao's republic? Now that the emperor is gone, who knows if the emperor will come again after President Yuan's republic? ”

"Dad, Yuan Shikai's republic is well done, and the emperor won't be able to come back!"

"What if President Yuan Da can't do it?"

"If you can't do it, it's better! Qin lost its deer, and the world chased it! Although I Chang Zhenbang is not talented, I also want to sit on the Nine Dragons Golden Chair in the Taihe Palace! ”

Chang Zhenbang's eyes flashed, and Master Chang couldn't help but sit on the Taishi chair when he saw it, unable to speak for a long time.

"You...... You're crazy! Master Chang sighed, turned to the housekeeper and said, "Chang Si, the young master is tired, help him to rest!" ”

The housekeeper Chang Si walked up to Chang Zhenbang and said, "Young Master, go back and rest!" ”

Chang Zhenbang turned around and walked out of the door, but turned back and said: "Dad, people's hearts have been chaotic recently, but be careful of some small people suddenly stealing their hearts!" ”

"The more you talk, the more bastard!" Master Chang said coldly: "The style of these ten miles and eight villagers is already simple, and my Chang family has been taught poetry and books here for two hundred years, how can it be possible to burst out of thieves?" ”

"Young master, our Chang family ......" the housekeeper said that he was supporting, but in fact he pushed Chang Zhenbang out of the door.

Master Chang looked at the figures of the two people and gradually moved away, turned around and knelt in front of the old lady, and muttered: "Zhenbang actually wants to conquer the world!" It seems that the world is really chaotic, but the child just wants my Chang family to be safe and strong. After saying that, he cried quietly.

The housekeeper Chang Si seemed to notice something, and couldn't help but be a little worried about the master, and he came over together for twenty or thirty years, although one is a high-ranking master, and the other is a butler who bows down to his ears, but the two of them grew up playing mud together with their bare buttocks, and there is still friendship, if something really happens, he hopes that it will happen to him. He sighed and said to Chang Zhenbang: "Young master, it's not me saying you, how good your temper is, even if your subordinates do something wrong, they rarely scold, and they always say a few words, but your words today are really a bit too much!" ”

When Chang Zhenbang heard this, he didn't get angry, but he just sighed and said indifferently: "Probably I was wrong!" ”

"Young Master, what did you say this? Your words are really right, people are in chaos these days, and they have to be guarded against, but the old man is kind-hearted and can't listen to this, so you don't say a few words, let's strictly guard against it in private, why resist it like this? It's all kind, but it ruins the friendship between father and son, it's really not worth it! ”

Chang Zhenbang was a little absent-minded and said: "The fourth uncle's words are reasonable, Zhenbang knows!" ”

"Young master, I know that you are a person with great ambitions, and I also believe that our small Wenxian County can't trap you, but these years, the disaster comes from the mouth, it's always right to be careful, this emperor is gone, it will be a big mess in the world, and when the new emperor comes out, the world will naturally be peaceful, everyone understands this truth, but when the emperor does something, he can't say it! You didn't look at Cao Cao, Liu Bei and even Sun Quan in the Three Kingdoms, they were all emperors, but no one mentioned this stubble before becoming the emperor, but Yuan Shu, who opened his mouth and closed his mouth to be the emperor, died earlier than anyone else! So I hope the young master is still a little more cautious! ”

Chang Zhenbang turned around and said to the housekeeper Chang Sixing very solemnly: "The lesson of the fourth uncle is that Zhenbang went crazy again just now, but I don't know when this disease will be cured!" Hehe! ”

Chang Zhenbang nodded, suddenly pulled Chang Si over, stretched out his hand and pointed to the rice warehouse in front of him and said, "Fourth uncle, the door of this rice warehouse was still closed when I came!" ”
