Everyone looked at the two people who slowly walked to the front.
The young man is dressed in a green robe. He is calm and elegant. He is a reserved Tsinghua University student. If he didn't scream, he would have thought he was the young master of some family. The woman beside him did not feel embarrassed at all under the gaze of many men. She was dressed in simple and elegant clothes and had a smile on her face.
.It is obviously inconsistent with the humility and shyness of most women.
It turns out that this is the emperor and the queen.
The fourth master smiled and said, "I brought the queen here today because I want to hear your truest thoughts. But I have disturbed everyone."
As soon as these words came out, everyone was awakened.
Kang Chang stopped in the aisle and immediately knelt down: "Long live the emperor, long live the emperor."
When he moved, everyone standing in the lobby had to kneel down and bow their heads in salute, whether they were willing or not.
Fourth Master waved his hand: "Everyone, please get up. I know your character. Even if you kneel down, it may not mean you surrender."
These words stopped in Kang Chang's ears, and he felt that Fourth Master's words were very ironic. It seemed to be a slap in the face of these people, but it may not be a satire on them. If he really had the character, would he have knelt down or bent down just now?
Lower your head. So since you bend down and lower your head, your character will be greatly compromised. Pretending to be a grandson, while also showing off being arrogant and reserved. It’s really annoying.
As soon as these words came out, as expected, half of the people who dared not even say it were reduced.
The other half just stood up and did not respond. It seemed that they agreed with what Fourth Master said.
These guys don't know how high the sky is and how high it is.
Kang Chang stood up with everyone, thinking in his heart.
Fang Changqing had already asked someone to move the chair and put it in front. He regretted his recklessness and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, I may have ruined your business today."
Fourth Master waved his hand, "It's okay. It's just one step earlier and one step later."
Fang Changqing then stepped aside and stood silently behind Fourth Master.
When the two of them sat down in front, there were actually a few men with gray beards who sat down right after them.
Lin Yutong was astonished. This was really a case of relying on one's elders. The fourth master would not ask people to stand, and he would definitely offer seats to them after a while. But there was something wrong with this attitude.
Seeing that some people actually sat down without asking, the remaining people were in a dilemma. They didn't know whether to sit down or stand.
Lin Yutong saw something interesting at this time. Even if these people are in the same camp and hold similar views, they may not really be able to speak with the same voice when something goes wrong.
The fourth master seemed not to notice what was going on at the scene. He raised his hand and pressed it down, "Everyone, sit down. Sit down so we can talk."
The waiter carefully brought the tea over. Before Lin Yutong could hold the tea steady, he heard an old voice saying: "Your Majesty, please forgive me for speaking frankly, this is not a place where a woman should come. The Queen, as the mother of a country...
…”
Before he finished speaking, he heard Fang Changqing coughing hard.
No need to ask, the person speaking is probably from the Fang family.
Lin Yutong could guess Fang Changqing's expression without looking at it.
She also didn't expect that this man would point his gun at her as soon as he came up.
Lin Yutong held the tea, slowly blew away the foam on it, and then said calmly: "It doesn't matter, let's talk. Your Majesty's treat is to let everyone speak freely and say whatever they want. I'm listening."
Fourth Master couldn't help but smile in his heart. She was willing to shrink under her wings, but that didn't mean that she didn't have the wings to soar across the Kyushu. She would be strong when she was strong, and shrink back when nothing happened. This was her nature.
Before the old patriarch of the Fang family could speak, Fang Changqing bowed and said: "The queen is wise and is indeed the wisest among women." After he finished speaking, he stood up straight and looked at the old patriarch and said: "Your Majesty is simple and frugal, not luxurious. Now that you are the mother of the country,
She is still like an ordinary woman, serving her parents-in-law, washing her hands and making soup, and raising the eldest princess herself, without relying on other people's hands. Compared with other ladies in the family, can't she be called a model?"
Although this was said in favor of Lin Yutong, neither Lin Yutong nor Fourth Master was happy.
Lin Yutong felt that Fang Changqing's positioning of her was wrong. Just being a good wife would not make her a good queen. But she couldn't refute it. Fang Changqing was eager to speak, but he just wanted to prevent the Fang family from speaking out again.
The fourth master felt that it was necessary to transfer secretary Fang Changqing. Such a subordinate who was observing their private life would not make people happy.
Lin Yutong finally understood. After all these people had said it, it was still a cliche, what a queen! The wisest thing to do was to fill the harem for the emperor, recruit concubines, and procreate heirs.
It might be a temptation for the Fang family to dare to take this issue. It is the most direct and effective way for the emperor to consolidate the relationship with his subordinates through taking concubines.
Nowadays, the people here are all big families, especially the aristocratic families from the south. Therefore, they feel that if the emperor wants to use the aristocratic families, the best way is to recruit women from the aristocratic families back then.
Lin Yutong laughed mockingly: "The emperor has the final say whether I am a good wife. My parents-in-law have the final say whether I am a good housewife. My children have the final say whether I am a good mother. I am
She is not a good queen. It is not you who have the final say, but those who survived the catastrophe without starving to death. As for whether I am a virtuous queen or not, it is not your mouth or the historian's.
Under the pen..." she said, pointing outside, "and outside, in the mouths of the people outside, in the conversations in the public. No one's eyes are brighter than theirs, and no one's evaluation is more intuitive than theirs."
Therefore, in my eyes, your opinions are all bullshit.
I'm sorry, as for historians' opinions, as long as I'm alive, they don't dare to write nonsense. After I die, I don't know if I have the ability to tamper with it. It's none of my business.
History books can be tampered with, but the ones passed down from people's mouths are the most simple and real.
There is no need to finish the meaning behind these words. At this point, everyone can understand the unfinished words instantly.
I originally thought that the emperor was currying favor with them and came in person to give them face. Otherwise, there would be no need to treat the virtuous corporal.
Unexpectedly, when he came up, he just mentioned something that was not a serious matter at all, and the queen was told to scold her. What's going on?
The old patriarch of the Fang family's face turned red. He couldn't get angry at Lin Yutong, but gave Fang Changqing a fierce look.
No one cared about the family feud at the moment. They all looked at the fourth master's face.
In their opinion, the Queen's attitude is not important. What matters is the Emperor's will. Besides, with such a hands-on and arbitrary Queen, does the Emperor really have no dissatisfaction with the Queen?
Is this arrogance based on favor or arrogance of merit? They are more inclined to the latter.
Everyone knows that the queen made great contributions to the emperor's capture of Jiangshang. But if she was so unscrupulous in relying on her achievements, maybe, without saying anything at all, sooner or later the emperor would not be able to bear it anymore.
Fang Changqing glanced at Lin Yutong helplessly. What he said just now meant that she had been excused by her position. A virtuous wife is better than a reputation for being involved in politics. She actually made the choice in the open.
The fourth master raised his eyes and glanced at everyone, "I invited you all to come because of a major event in the world. I didn't expect that everyone was staring at my inner curtain." There was a trace of disappointment in his eyes, and he did not hide it at all, "
Is this the so-called style of a noble family? It does nothing for the country and is of no benefit to the people. They work hard..."
"Your Majesty!" Before Fourth Master finished speaking, an old man in white stood up and said, "Your Majesty, you must not misunderstand the family just because of the Fang family. How can the family be so shallow if it continues to this day?"
The old patriarch of the Fang family suddenly turned pale and looked at him in disbelief.
Lin Yutong raised his eyebrows, "That's good, the internal fighting is over."
If they don't fight with each other and form a rope, what reason does the fourth master have to gather these people in the capital and prevent them from going back.
The fourth master raised his eyes and said, "This is Mr. Wang Pingyao. I heard it from Mr. Lu." After saying that, he stood up and said, "It's getting late today, so I won't stay any longer. Everyone, I'll do the same."
We have met, and we have met." After saying that, he pulled Lin Yutong up and walked out. When he passed by Wang Pingyao, he paused and said: "Old sir, I will enter the palace tomorrow. I want to be alone.
Talk to the old gentleman."
This is the first time we have been summoned alone.
If the emperor accepts an aristocratic family, there will always be some closeness or distance between them. Today, the Fang family is in decline, but the Wang family has taken advantage of the situation.
The fourth master glanced at the person next to Wang Pingyao and asked: "This is the Bai family..."
"I, Bai Ningxuan, have met the emperor." Bai Ningxuan never expected that the emperor would recognize him. He couldn't help but feel a little complacent. Compared with the Wang family, the Bai family is far behind. Otherwise, the Bai family would not be the only one to follow suit.
Didn't Bai He come to the capital this time to cooperate with Wang Pingyao?
Unexpectedly, before he was completely satisfied, he heard the queen whisper: "The Bai family is related to the Fang family by marriage."
The Fang family offended someone, but the Bai family was tied up. Bai Ningxuan felt bad.
Fourth Master nodded, glanced at Bai Ningxuan, and walked away. For a moment, Lin Yutong really felt that he had the potential to become a traitor.
Fang Changqing secretly smiled bitterly, the emperor and the queen were obviously trying to sow discord between the aristocratic families. Originally, the wealthy family had some differences with the aristocratic family, and this was already considered a restraint. Unexpectedly, these two would do something like this again.
People who stood in the same camp, a united front, immediately turned against each other.
The Wang family was close to the Bai family, but they didn't consider that the Fang family was the in-laws of the Bai family, and stepped on them.
The Bai family was also implicated because of this matter. It is estimated that at this moment, Bai Ningxuan not only has opinions against the Fang family, but also has a grudge against the Wang family.
This is really what Lin Yutong keeps saying all day long. This strategy is not about how clever it is, but how effective it is.
He sighed slightly. In the final analysis, it was still the greed in the human heart that was at work.
Before he could finish his sigh, he saw Kang Chang running out like a rabbit chased by a dog...
