The next day, Gu Qingyue's remarks at the banquet spread throughout Tianlang City. As a result, she gained the welcome and love of many low-class people. It was a blessing to have such a woman to protect them.
It's just that it's completely contrary to the view of the lower class. Officials, big and small, all avoided Gu Qingyue, as if they were seeing the god of plague. After offending Marshal Zhang Tianwen, do they still want to stay in Tianlang City? It's unlikely. At this time, with this
If a crazy woman is involved, it will be a disaster.
The old acquaintances of the Gu family from whom the letters were sent before were all nobles. Even if they have declined, their ancestors are still wealthy and have inextricable connections in the court.
After they learned about this, and in the following days, they distanced themselves from Gu Qingyue and avoided him.
Therefore, what is liked by the bottom may not be welcomed by the top. This is true for people, and it is also true for policies and regulations.
In the same way, some things that are disliked by those at the bottom are extremely popular among those at the top, because their promotion does not depend on those below, but on those above.
What are the thoughts of a bunch of bastards worth caring about? At worst, the relevant departments will take the blame in the future.
In fact, along with the alienation, there was also a series of rumors, saying that Gu Qingyue's innocence was ruined and she was embarrassed to marry into the marshal's mansion and was worried about being kicked out. This theory was the most widely spread and the most generally recognized.
Gradually, even at the bottom, the way people looked at Gu Qingyue changed.
The masses are blind and backward. Their demands are divided and diverse, and it is difficult to have a unified point of view. There must be a vanguard to lead them.
The masses hope and yearn for perfect people to appear, but there are no such people. Once someone has a stain, they are used as a gun and whipped. They don't know they have been betrayed, and they think they are doing the right thing.
"Justice is served".
Even though Wu Yi stayed behind closed doors, he still heard various opinions. This attack was so violent that Zhang Tianwen or the Zhang family did not even need to take action personally. There were already a group of people who wanted to cling to him to help him.
Wu Yi tried his best not to get involved. If someone forced him to take sides, he could just fool around and Du Men would not come out. Gu Qingyue's outspoken words relieved Wu Yi a lot of pressure.
Three days later, a bright and beautiful team appeared outside Tianlang City. There were about a hundred people, all of whom were strong and strong. In terms of eliteness, they were not inferior to Zhang Tianwen's soldiers.
The person at the head was quite martial and vigorous, but his face was fair and his chin was beardless. Compared with the entire army, he was too fair.
This is a eunuch, a eunuch from the palace. The clothes on his body can reflect his identity.
Do you think all eunuchs are so thin and weak? That's too stupid. There are many types of eunuchs. How can such eunuchs who travel thousands of miles to deliver orders not have some physical strength?
The eunuch holds the imperial edict in his hand. He is not an ordinary eunuch. He represents the emperor's will and is an imperial envoy. Even Zhang Tianwen, after hearing this, tidied up his clothes and went out to greet him. As for the others, they arrived early and knelt together in a dense crowd.
.
Unlike when Wu Yi was able to sit next to Zhang Tianwen at the banquet, this time Wu Yi couldn't even see the shadow of the imperial envoy and was stopped by officials of all sizes. It was really a reality. After using it and testing it, if it doesn't work for me, then...
Kick away.
Not far from Wu Yi was Gu Qingyue, with a calm face and a calm expression. The public opinion storm of the past few days did not seem to affect her, but it is more likely that she chose to cry in the middle of the night.
In the adult world, after crying at night, you wipe away your tears during the day and pretend nothing happened.
Everyone rejected Wu Yi and Gu Qingyue, but this time, Zhang Tianwen shot himself in the foot. No matter what, Wu Yi and Gu Qingyue were the heroes who guarded Tianlang City alone.
In order to highlight his achievements, Zhang Tianwen made a special statement about this in his memorial, which actually attracted the emperor's attention, and he asked to see Wu Yi and Gu Qingyue.
Zhang Tianwen needs to promote the heroes who defended the city, and similarly, the king of a country needs to do the same.
Therefore, this imperial edict is not only for Zhang Tianwen, but also for Wu Yi and Gu Qingyue.
When the imperial envoy asked where Wu Yi and Gu Qingyue were, the scene fell silent for a moment. Everyone was jealous of Wu Yi and Gu Qingyue's good luck, and at the same time, they unanimously made way for Wu Yi and Gu Qingyue to come forward. Zhang Tianwen lost face.
No matter how big it is, it is still not as good as His Majesty.
The imperial envoy is inside the palace walls, and the intrigues inside involve thousands of people from all over the country, including both the government and the public. They are more complex and diverse, and you have to go through every sentence in your head several times.
Therefore, when seeing this scene, even if it was just a new visit and didn't know the reason, they could roughly guess that these two people were afraid of offending Marshal Zhang Tianwen.
This matter has nothing to do with him. He just needs to do his job well. If His Majesty wants to see these two people, just take them with him. If anyone wants to stop them, then——
A cold light flashed through the narrowed eyes of the imperial envoy. Having been by His Majesty's side for a long time, he understood that the only person he needed to be loyal to was the one sitting high on the throne, and there was no need to care about anyone else.
It happened that Zhang Tianwen also saw the imperial envoy's eyes, and the two understood that they were both veteran officials and knew full well that they would not cause trouble to the other party, so they laughed it off.
After passing through the dense crowd, Wu Yi and Gu Qingyue came to the side of the imperial envoy. They saluted and received orders, etc., without any mistakes.
"Marshal Zhang, look at the official family waiting here! The Za family are still waiting to return to their posts. If the two of them have something important to do, please postpone it for a while!" Although it was a request, because of the sacred intention, it was
There is no possibility of refusal.
Zhang Tianwen said with a smile: "It's natural. I definitely don't dare to delay the imperial envoy's errand. The luncheon is already prepared. Please, the imperial envoy, please stop for a moment! So that I can fulfill my duty as a landlord!"
The soldiers behind the eunuch were all ready to dismount. They traveled thousands of miles to escort the imperial decree and often received a large amount of rewards, so they all considered it a good job and competed for it.
However, this time, these soldiers were disappointed, and the imperial envoy said: "Thank you Marshal for your kindness. It's just that the sky is still bright now. If we hurry up, we can still find a nearby village to rest, so we won't stay any longer."
"That's right!" Zhang Tianwen replied with a smile, without looking angry at all.
He understood that the current situation of Wu Yi and Gu Qingyue made the imperial envoy suspicious, and he was worried that he would jump over the wall and take advantage of the last chance to kill the two of them, so he did not stop. It was ridiculous, was he such a careless person?
