Xia Yuhuai wanted to retort loudly, but when Li Xiaobao's expression suddenly became tense, he had to endure the tone and whispered, "Then no one will resist this rule?"
Li Xiaobao shook his head and said with a bitter smile, "Who dares?"
"Of all the government officials in Fengchun County, from the county magistrate to the government officials, who dares to go against Tiancaihui?"
Xia Yuhuai was silent for a long time after hearing this, then stood up to say goodbye.
"Sir, I have prepared meals..."
Xia Yuhuai said directly, "How can I survive in this situation?!"
Xia Yuhuai calmed down and said gently, "However, I am deeply touched by your hospitality today, and I will repay you in the future."
After saying that, Xia Yuhuai was about to go out.
"grown ups!"
Xia Yuhuai heard a "dong" sound behind him and looked back in surprise, but Li Xiaobao was already kneeling at his feet.
"Sir, the villain does not ask for repayment from the adults. The villain only asks the adults to grant the villain's request!"
Xia Yuhuai's original gratitude immediately faded to only seven points, but again, how can this be a good thing? He has been an official for decades, and he is still so naive. It's really...
This guy is quite frank, and he doesn't make excuses to disguise his desires. If he comes to ask for favors in the future, he will really look down on him.
"You said you don't ask for anything in return, but you asked me to agree to your request? But just tell me, I will definitely help you as much as I can."
But Li Xiaobao shook his head and said, "The master has said what he said, and it's hard to keep track of it, so I only have to promise the villain a word. The villain will definitely not make things difficult for the adults!"
Xia Yuhuai looked at Li Xiaobao at his feet and thought for a moment, nodded without saying a word, and turned to leave.
That night, what Xia Yuhuai saw and heard in Tiancai Town was placed in front of Sheng Shaoqing's table verbatim.
"Master Lu, did Master Xia say anything else?"
Lu Qingfeng, who had caught up with the big team after a long journey, sent Xia Yuhuai's folding book to the tent before he could rest. Now he was standing aside with a red face and a thick neck, breathing heavily. He suddenly heard Sheng Shaoqing's question and was startled. He thought
After thinking for a while, he said, "No, everything Mr. Xia wants to say should be in the book."
Sheng Shaoqing looked at Cui Yun, who was restless beside him, and said with a smile, "Then you should leave and take a rest first, and you will be there when I tell you."
"Ajun, please step back first."
When Cui Yun saw that the Queen Mother had revealed her thoughts, her face turned red, but she retreated without saying a word.
She must ask him when he begged the Queen Mother to follow Mr. Xia to Fengchun!
Are you so unpopular with others?
Sheng Shaoqing just looked at the empty tent and fell silent.
Because she really has no experience in breaking down feudal superstitions!
You can't tell them openly that those so-called stone gods are fabricated by intentional people just to defraud them of their money, right?
Xia Yuhuai has suffered losses like this, and Sheng Shaoqing has also seen the mental state of people who are deeply involved in pyramid schemes and have been brainwashed.
They firmly believe in their bones that what they see in front of them is true, and no matter how hard others try to persuade them, it disappears like air when it enters their ears.
[Host, do you believe there really is a stone god in this world?]
"Of course I don't believe it," Sheng Shaoqing paused, "But if you say there is, then it might really be the case."
system:.
"Even if something as defiant as you appears in the system, what does it mean to be a mere stone god?"
System: Why do you feel that what the host said makes sense?
【But, in this world, God does not exist.】
The number one sword cultivator in the world that it assisted in the previous world founded the number one cultivation sect in the world. Gods existed in that world, but they have long since fallen, not to mention that this world does not have the conditions to evolve cultivation.
.
"Then how did Li Dabao convince the people in Fengchun of this?"
Have you never seen Li Dabao have such brainwashing skills before?
If so, would she just mess around every day?
[It’s just a little trick to blind the eyes.]
"Then how do you lift the veil in front of you?"
It will definitely not work if it is hard, as the wound will be large and difficult to heal.
Sheng Shaoqing had an idea. If he wanted to use a soft knife, why not... try reverse brainwashing?
"System, how much is my prestige value?"
【135.】
"What can I exchange for?"
The system seemed to be rummaging through boxes and cabinets for a long time before it made any sound, [Liweidan.]
"This is?"
Why does it sound so much like the name of a chemical fertilizer?
[Attributes of the drug: After use, it will cause the audience to have high trust and prestige in a short period of time. Left bracket, one-time prop, right bracket.]
"Okay! You don't need to read the remarks next time, thank you."
"But, you can exchange it for a one-time item with more than 100 points? Are you really not a middleman to make the difference?"
system:.
【You don’t think your prestige is very high, do you?】
The system silently complained that these two actions were not prestige that had been prepaid. How many people did not raise objections because of the Queen Mother's name and just watched the court's actions silently. If anything happened to Yunzhi and Ji Wenxuan,
The host is afraid that he will be scolded badly.
Sheng Shaoqing was choked and lost his voice, but he was unconvinced and roared in his heart: If you look down on me, I will go back and give you points!
Sheng Shaoqing felt resentful, and the force of his writing became two points stronger, making his unskilled calligraphy even more ferocious.
Looking at the crooked font, Sheng Shaoqing shouted outside the tent, "Aning!"
Aning answered the door and walked in. Seeing the Queen Mother looking at him angrily, her heart skipped a beat, "What are your orders from the Queen Mother?"
"Can you write?"
"Your servant only... can only write a few simple words, your servant"
"It doesn't matter, I say, you can write it!"
After An Ning finished writing tremblingly, Sheng Shaoqing handed the small jade pot in his hand to An Ning and said, "Also, give this to Mr. Lu, and ask him to bring it to Mr. Xia together with this letter, so that Mr. Xia can present it at the ceremony.
Just use it.”
Aning dried the letter paper and folded it, and put it together with the bottle of medicine into the bamboo tube. Seeing the Queen Mother's hesitant expression, Aning hurriedly went out to find Lord Lu to deliver the letter and return to her life.
Liu Xiaochun saw Aning just come out of the tent, chased after him and asked, "Is the Queen Mother resting now?"
Aning shook his head. Seeing that Liu Xiaochun was about to turn around and walk in, he quickly grabbed Liu Xiaochun's sleeve and said, "Is there something important, Supervisor Liu?"
"It's nothing important. We are going to Chenliu territory tomorrow. I was asked by the female director of the production department to ask the queen mother what kind of dress to wear when entering the city tomorrow?"
Aning reminded in a low voice, "Then Superintendent Liu should wait a little longer before asking. The Queen Mother is unhappy at the moment."
Liu Xiaochun asked curiously, "The Queen Mother has always been good-tempered. Why, who made the Queen Mother angry again?"
Aning shook his head, "How did I know that I was talking and laughing with Miss Cui during lunch earlier?"
"But I guess it was about Fengchun. The Queen Mother looked wrong when she saw Lord Xia's letter. Just now she asked her maid to write it for her. How could such a thing have happened before?"
Liu Xiaochun thought for a while and said, "Nothing, just go and do your work. Although this matter is not important, it cannot be delayed. I will just go and ask. Thank you very much, girl, for the suggestion."
Seeing that Liu Xiaochun was still trying to get into trouble, Aning had no choice but to shake his head, sigh, and turn around to leave.
There are too many people who want to swim against the current, and Aning is fully aware of his feelings.
However, after An Ning's suggestion, Liu Xiaochun became much more cautious. He bowed politely and said hello when entering the account, not daring to look or ask any more questions. He only asked Sheng Shaoqing to decide on tomorrow's dress and then turned around and left.
Exit, but heard the Queen Mother suddenly ask, "How has your majesty been practicing riding horses these days?"
Liu Xiaochun hesitated for a moment and replied, "To return to the Queen Mother, Your Majesty has been studying in the tent for the past few days and has never gone out."
"real?"
Just as Liu Xiaochun was about to nod, he heard a voice from outside the tent: "Mother! My son is back! Look at the flowers I picked for you!"
Liu Xiaochun's face instantly wrinkled like the ball of waste paper Sheng Shaoqing threw in the corner, and he thought to himself, Oh my god, it's going to end today!
I saw Yuan Che running in and holding the bouquet in front of Sheng Shaoqing's eyes as if he was taking credit.
Seeing that Superintendent Liu who was kneeling behind him looked like he was about to cry, Yuan Che asked like a last resort, "Mother, what's going on?"
Liu Xiaochun's face turned even pale when he heard this. Why did this little ancestor come back now? He never came back at this time before!
"Superintendent Liu?" Sheng Shaoqing looked at Liu Xiaochun funny, "Why don't you explain?"
Liu Xiaochun was so anxious that he was sweating. The Queen Mother even asked Her Majesty how he had been learning to ride horses these past few days. His Majesty became even more enthusiastic when talking about this and vividly described the thrilling horse riding.
"Master Lin went to Fengchun, but he found another Master Zhao to teach his son. This Master Zhao, although he looks ugly, has really extraordinary arm strength. He can control such a fierce horse!"
"Master Zhao found a little mare for your son to try to mount. The horse is quite docile, but it is too small. When your son grows up, he must ride Master Lin's tall horse. That's really awesome.
So majestic!"
Seeing that Yuan Che was in such high spirits, Sheng Shaoqing only told him a few words to be careful, "When you grow up, my mother will find you the best and most handsome horse, so that he can be worthy of our Che'er!"
Yuan Che looked at Sheng Shaoqing with a smile. After a while, he remembered that he had come to his mother's tent to ask for water, and repeatedly asked if there was still any of the refreshing and sweet drinks in the queen's tent.
Sheng Shaoqing smiled and said, "You're talking about honey grapefruit tea?"
Yuan Che licked his dry mouth and nodded, and Sheng Shaoqing immediately ordered someone to get it.
"Why is Superintendent Liu mute? People used to say that Superintendent Liu was always eloquent and eloquent. Why is he unwilling to speak now?"
Yuan Che held the teapot and drank as much as he could to quench his thirst before asking, "Superintendent Liu, my mother is asking you a question!"
Seeing Yuan Che trying to wipe his mouth with his sleeve again, Sheng Shaoqing frowned and gently patted Yuan Che's raised hand away, then took the handkerchief and wiped it himself.
"Queen Mother! Just use your sleeves! I see all the warriors on the training field looking like this!"
Sheng Shaoqing just wanted to educate this monkey, but gave up after thinking about it. He would wait until the matter with Supervisor Liu was resolved before he could find fault with Yuan Che.
Liu Xiaochun saw that the Queen Mother and Her Majesty were now very harmonious as a loving mother and a filial son. Liu Xiaochun thought that he should not worry too much because he was afraid that Her Majesty would offend the Queen Mother again and make her angry, but she did not expect that she was not angry at all!
"Director Liu, let me ask you about His Majesty's current situation. How do you say His Majesty has been reviewing his books?"
When Yuan Che heard this, he was stunned on the spot. It turned out that this matter had something to do with him. No wonder Director Liu kept giving him winks.
"Mother, this."
Sheng Shaoqing raised his hand to stop Yuan Che's plea, "You don't have to plead for him. I understand that he wants to cover up for you, but everyone is covering up for you, so how do I know what you did?"
Yuan Che muttered, "What does the queen mother do if she knows so much?"
Sheng Shaoqing was stunned by Yuan Che's sudden muttering, "Don't you want your mother to take care of you?"
Yuan Che was afraid of making his mother sad, so he quickly took Sheng Shaoqing's hand and said, "No! I don't mean that! I think I have grown up, and my mother doesn't have to look at my son like a child."
It’s over!”
"Have you grown up? How old are you?"
"Wen Ji could hear sounds and distinguish broken strings at the age of six, and Gan Luo could go to Qin as an envoy at the age of twelve, so why can't I?!"
Sheng Shaoqing almost laughed out of anger at Yuan Che. Yuan Che could barely be considered a first-year academic, so why did he think he could stand alone?
However, seeing that he had been so rebellious since he was a child, Sheng Shaoqing gave in and said, "Okay, then I won't ask you anymore."
"But, then you said yourself that Superintendent Liu was doing the right thing or wrong by covering up this matter for you?"
Yuan Che lowered his head and shook his head, "That's not right."
"No matter what, it is wrong to lie to your mother, so Superintendent Liu should be punished."
Liu Xiaochun said anxiously, "Your Majesty, all the ministers...all the ministers are for you! You..."
Yuan Che was also a little bit intolerant, but still begged, "But Supervisor Liu is also for me, and I can't ignore him, so I ask my mother to be punished lightly!"
Sheng Shaoqing nodded, "Rewards and punishments are clear. It's good for Liu Da to monitor you, but if you deserve to be punished for concealing your whereabouts, then punish him to accompany you to practice horse riding every day. If there is anything wrong with you, he will be the one to blame."
ask!"
"how?"
Sheng Shaoqing looked at Yuan Che, but his eyes glanced at Liu Xiaochun.
Liu Xiaochun had heard the story of Zhang Qing, the former eunuch in charge of Yongguang Palace. Zhang Qing was once so famous, but now he can only lie miserably in the woodshed of the Ministry of Internal Affairs without anyone caring about him.
Some people said that Zhang Qing suffered this misfortune because he made the Queen Mother unhappy. Others said that Zhang Qing brought it upon himself and deserved to end up like this...
But in any case, he had seen Zhang Qing's mistakes, so since he came to Yongguang Palace after defeating five levels and killing six generals, he wanted to serve the Queen Mother well and live in harmony with everyone in the palace, in order to be able to
Get a foothold here.
In his opinion, the delicate relationship between the Queen Mother and Your Majesty needs to be carefully protected. Therefore, if Your Majesty makes any mistakes, he will definitely cover it up in front of the Queen Mother. If the Queen Mother is dissatisfied, he will naturally be more vigilant in front of Your Majesty.
In this way, the glory of Yongguang Palace can last forever, and peace can be maintained in this palace forever.
At least, that must be the case during the period when he was the eunuch in charge.
