In Salted Fish's dimension, to change one's name, one only needed to bring their ID card, household register, application report, and other documents to the household registration office to apply for a change of registration. If it was Jiang? Ji's dimension was even simpler. She just needed to log into the Heavenly Brain's personal account and apply.
However, the current era was not so convenient.
Not only was the process cumbersome, but he also had to face many obstacles and even public criticism.
People often say, "Don't change your name when you're in a position, and don't change your surname when you're in a position."
One's name was given by one's parents. Changing one's name without permission was enough to be labeled as "unfilial". People would not change their name easily.
Of course, looking at the history books, there were many people who changed their names, but they were all special cases.
For example, in order to avoid disasters or the pursuit of enemies, they had no choice but to conceal their identity. For example, a person in a higher position bestowed a name and surname. This usually happened to slaves with a lower social status. Bestowing a name and surname was a form of glory and not a way to sever one's roots. For example, to avoid the monarch, most people would change their name and rarely would they change their surname. For example, a man would marry into the woman's family to continue the family line and continue the family line.
In addition to these relatively common examples, there were some that were relatively rare. A typical example was Jiang Qin. Ji Hao had defeated the three tribes of the Northern Borderline. In order to accelerate the assimilation of these foreign people and to assimilate their culture, Old Master Sun Wen had implemented many targeted policies in the past few years in the Northern Borderline — enticing them with benefits, enticing them with beautiful words, and intimidating them with force. Gradually, many people of the three races in the Northern Borderline assimilated their surnames into the Chinese language. After tasting the sweetness, more and more people of foreign races did the same.
For them, surnames weren't that important. If they could live a better life by changing their names, then so be it.
That was what the people of the three tribes of the Northern Borderline thought. Some people who had learned the culture of the Central Plains saw this and felt heartache and helplessness at the same time.
The imperial court of the Northern Borderline and tens of thousands of nobles were killed by Jiang Fei. When Ji Ye slaughtered them all, Beijiang would be completely finished.
Unless Jiang? With Ji Yanran's downfall and the many families in the Central Plains divided, the Northern Borderline would have been devoured cleanly.
After going through all these situations of changing names and surnames, Jiang? Which category did Ji belong to?
She wasn't one of them. She resolutely chose to sever ties with the Liu family just because her stepmother tried to poison her and her family plotted to take over her business. Even if the person who bestowed the name and surname was an old immortal, a name bestowed by the heavens, it could not change the fact that she was fickle and resolute in this matter.
His biological father, Liu She, was still alive. Ji Yunshu chose to change her name despite Liu She and Liu Zhao's attitude. Did she ask for their opinion?
"I really don't have any opinion on this matter. I've long been mentally prepared for this."
As he spoke, Liu She wore a green and brown Confucian robe. His wide sleeves were tied up with his sleeves and he held a watering can in his hand. He stood leisurely by the window, tending to the flowers. The fence outside the courtyard was surrounded by many precious flowers, and the fragrance of the flowers filled the air.
Liu Zhao followed behind Liu She and passed him a pair of bug exterminators. The father and son enjoyed a leisurely afternoon together.
"But elder sister, this matter is too big. I heard that there have been elders of the clan coming to look for father these two days …"
A faint smile hung on Liu Zhao's lips. Several years had passed, and the immaturity on his face had completely faded away. He had transformed into a handsome young man.
"Yeah, I've been blocked by them for the past two days, so I don't dare to go out to visit family and friends."
Liu She plucked the bugs off the flowers and leaves. He treasured the flowers and plants very much. His heart ached when the bugs gnawed a hole in them.
Liu Zhao said, "He's trying anything he can find in an emergency."
As far as Liu Zhao knew, Liu She had long stopped caring about these matters.
In the past, Liu She could still use his identity as a father to persuade Jiang. Ji, now that things are out in the open, it's still uncertain which of these two drama queens will call the other a tyrant. Liu Zhao wasn't very clear about the inside story, but he knew Liu She and Jiang Yu. Their relationship was not as "loving father and filial daughter" as the outside world thought. If it weren't for the fact that some occasions were unavoidable, this pair of plastic father and daughter would probably have gone to "never see each other in life, never bump into each other in death." Liu She was fine. Ji Ke did not want to call someone father every day.
In terms of real age, they were about the same. Why did she have to be a generation lower than him?
Therefore, it was useless for the elders of the Liu family to harass Liu She.
Liu She smiled and said, "How can they not be anxious when your sister is so serious? Even if you are in a desperate situation, you have to try anything. "
Liu Zhao pursed his lips and asked his father worriedly.
"Did Ji Ke really do that to Liu She and her stepmother?"
Liu She asked Liu Zhao to pass him a pair of scissors. He carefully cut off the excess leaves so that the flowers could bloom better.
He said while cutting, "If you were a gardener and saw the messy branches and leaves in the yard, would you pull out the roots of these plants?"
"Of course not. If they are messy, they can be pruned. Why would they be uprooted?" Liu Zhao understood what Liu She was trying to say. "Father, do you mean that Ji Ke just wants to prune the messy branches? She doesn't want to catch them all at once?"
Liu She straightened his upper body and looked at the fenced flowers for a moment.
"Catch them all at once? Maybe she wants to, but it's not now. " Liu She smiled. "First of all, the time is not ripe. Second of all, these shrubs have deep roots and leaves. Ji Ke only has a pair of scissors in her hand. She can't cut them all at once. It's better to take it slow. If she can make them what she wants, that would be the best. If she can't, she can wait until they are fully grown. "
Liu Zhao felt a chill run down his spine. Once again, he understood that he was not as good as the two actors.
"Don't rush for quick success. Taking it slow is the right way to go. Your sister knows this very well. How can those idiots out there be a match for her? You should learn from them. Don't be fooled by them. " Liu She sighed. "Outsiders say that your sister is very good at martial arts and can defeat thousands of soldiers. They don't know that attacking the city is the best strategy. Attacking the heart is the best strategy. People with brute force are not scary. At most, they are just a knife that can be used to kill people. The scary ones are people like your sister, who are strong and good at killing people. You can't mess with them. "
Liu Zhao nodded. "Is it the same for my stepmother and Liu She?"
"It's not just Liu She and your stepmother. The other families are also her targets."
Liu Zhao was confused, which made Liu She a little angry.
This son of his was originally quite smart, but he hid his incompetence and pretended to be a pig to eat a tiger. Now he had really turned into a pig, and his brain made people anxious.
Liu She gave him a detailed analysis. Only then did Liu Zhao completely understand Jiang Qinghou. Ji Ji's entire plan.
At the same time, he also understood that it was his stepmother, Liu She, or Jiang who betrayed him first. Ji Zhuxin was at the front.
Liu She sighed. "You're also one of the few people she cares about. If you keep your heart still, she won't touch you."
"What if my heart changes?"
"Then, my next target will be you."
Even so, Liu Zhao still felt a little scared.
"Sister won't eliminate Liu She and the other families, but what will she do to Stepmother?"
Liu She said calmly, "The stepmother you mentioned is my second wife. Even if your sister changed her name, she wouldn't be able to kill her stepmother without my permission. Most likely they had a falling out, so your stepmother could behave herself and be Mrs. Liu She. If she still doesn't know her place, your sister might ask me to divorce her and remove her identity as Mrs. Liu She. Without her status as a stepmother, wouldn't it be easy to kill her? "
It had to be said that Liu She's love for Jiang? Ji's judgment was very accurate.
No matter how the outside world objected and ridiculed him, Jiang Yusheng would never change his mind. Ji stubbornly changed her name and surname.
No matter how fiercely the outsiders objected, it was useless. Even her biological father, Liu She, did not stand up to object to his daughter's behavior. What could the outsiders do?
Not long after she announced the news, Gu Zhen, who was temporarily imprisoned, could not take it anymore and insisted on seeing Jiang in person. Ji.
Gu Zhen was not here to admit her mistake. She was here to quibble.
Ginger? Ji Bai took some time out of his busy schedule to meet her. He wanted to give her a warning so that Gu Zhen would not step on her bottom line.
For the sake of Nie Xun and Meng Heng, Jiang Qinghong was willing to help. Ji still did not want to do anything to Gu Zhen.
"You said it before, why are you going back on your words now?"
Gu Zhen had been under house arrest for a few days. She had removed all her silk and satin. She no longer had any pearls, hairpins, or gems in her hair. She looked very plain and haggard.
Ginger? Ji didn't even bother to roll her eyes. She said, "I'm not the one who broke my promise."
Gu Die was so angry that her face turned livid. "If it wasn't you, then who locked me up here? I'm also your stepmother, your biological aunt! "
"You and I both know that you're nothing!" Jiang Ji sneered. "I promised you back then that as long as you help me hide it, I'll give you endless glory and wealth. Let me ask you, haven't I given you enough all these years? You spend more than ten thousand strings of coins every year. I don't even have a shortage of military expenses. You've done your best! How have you treated me? What exactly are the identities of those little brats from the Liu family? "
Gu Zhen did not panic at all. She quibbled, "Heng 'er and Xun' er have been separated from me since they were young. Now that they have their own families and have their own wives and children, they are not close to me, their mother. Your father lives alone all year round. I just feel that the house is deserted. I saw that those few children were quite pleasing to the eye, so I placed them by my side to raise and take care of them to relieve my boredom. Is such a small matter worth being so suspicious of? "
Jiang? Ji sneered and asked, "My two cousins are not close to you. They are all grown up, but their sons and daughters are still young. If you really feel lonely, why don't you raise your own granddaughters and grandchildren by your side to relieve your boredom? Instead, you raise the children of the Liu family? You married father to be his second wife. But other than that, what relationship do you have with the direct descendants of the Liu family? "
Not raising her own grandchildren, but raising children who were not related by blood at all. This was called relieving boredom?
Gu Zhen still wanted to defend herself. But Ji lost her patience.
"I can only give you glory and wealth."
Other than this, she should not even think about anything else, let alone control Jiang Ji. Ji.
Gu Zhen meets Jiang? Ji became serious. She even unceremoniously tore down her hypocritical immunity. She could not help but sneer.
"The glory and wealth that you speak of is just a huge sum of money as charity?"
Jiang? Ji said, "And the position of the future Empress Dowager."
"The Empress Dowager with no power is just an old lady with some status. Doesn't she have to listen to you?"
Jiang? Ji laughed. "You seemed to be very satisfied with the Empress Dowager back then. Why are you dissatisfied now?"
Back then, she only sought a position that was below one person and above tens of thousands of people. Now, she wanted to be above tens of thousands of people.
Jiang? Ji's scheme was true, but it was also true that Gu Zhen took the risk out of desperation and poisoned her.
Did she really think that by poisoning her and supporting the Liu family's children, she could be the Empress Dowager who had real power over tens of thousands of people?
Did she really think that Liu She and Liu Zhao were dead?
Or did she have a whole set of other tricks up her sleeve?
Jiang? Ji was very disappointed. "I thought you were a smart woman. I didn't expect you to be a smart woman. Compared to Gu Min, you are not just one level lower. She will fight for the greatest benefits for herself within the limits, but you will only play a bad hand. "
She did not make a move on Liu She and took care of Liu Zhao largely because of Gu Min.
"Do you really think that no one knows your true colors?" Ji did not look at Gu Zhen's livid face. She mocked, "From the first time I met you, I knew. When I hinted to you that I would give you the glory and status that Liu Xi couldn't give you, and you accepted me because of this and didn't pursue Liu Xi, whom you had watched grow up, I knew what kind of person you were. Could it be that calling you 'mother' and bowing to you as a junior all these years really gave you the illusion that I really treated you as my mother? "
Jiang? Ji spoke so rudely that Gu Zhen's face turned even more livid. It was so dark that ink could almost drip out.
"Stop quibbling. I dare to say this to you because I have all the evidence."
Gu Zhen stopped pretending. She laughed sinisterly. "Why? You want to kill me to silence me?"
"Why would I? You are still my father's second wife. How can you kill your elders? If I really wanted to kill you, I would naturally get my father to separate from you before I kill you. " Ji looked down at Gu Zhen from above. Her cold voice did not carry the slightest emotion. "In this life, we will not meet again until we reach the netherworld!"
This matter also spread out. Many people made the assertion that Jiang? Ji would be angry at the face of the person who killed her mother.
A stepmother was not a biological mother. A sentence of "we will not meet again until we reach the netherworld" was enough.
Jiang? Ji threw Gu Zhen to Liu She and imprisoned her in Liu She's side courtyard. Without orders, she could not step out of the courtyard, let alone see outsiders.
Jiang no longer took care of her daily necessities? Ji's private warehouse was now Liu She's. All the preferential treatment in the past was removed.
All the people who served Gu Zhen were replaced by Jiang? Ji's eyes and ears.
Liu She was a retired person. His pension was enough, but he definitely could not squander it.
After Gu Zhen was locked up, the next person to deal with was the Liu family.
More and more people looked for Liu She in desperation.
Liu She rejected all of them with the excuse of "the child has grown up and he does not care about the child's choice."
If someone said that Jiang? Ji changed her name and did not recognize her ancestors, it was unfilial. His answer was even more unscrupulous.
"This name is bestowed by the heavens. A name bestowed by the heavens will not be punished. Isn't this more honorable than a name bestowed by the emperor on earth? "
Just as Liu She expected, Jiang? Ji did not cut off the Liu family and left some leeway.
Even so, the blow was also comprehensive.
Those who should be killed, arrested, and exiled were exiled … Not only were the people cut off, but a large part of the property was also taken away. The staff of the Liu family were also demoted, demoted, and put on the blacklist. The Liu family was already like this. Needless to say, the other families were all greatly injured.
This was not considered tragic. What was tragic was that someone secretly pushed Jiang? Ji to hit them when they were down!
Under the heavy suppression, their arms could not contend against the thighs. Jiang? Ji repaired them miserably.
