Yang Si was happy, but Han Yu had a lot on his mind.
"Wenbin, no matter how much you hate Si, you don't have to look like you are grieving. What bad luck! "
Yang Si's good mood was ruined by Han Yu's cold stare, but he was too guilty to confront Han Yu.
Wasn't it because of Yang Si that Han Yu had been given so much work?
Staring straight at Yang Si, Han Yu's eyebrows were knitted together so tightly that they could squash a fly.
"Just now, the lord said … that you are allowed to prepare betrothal gifts and propose marriage?"
His ink-black eyes were filled with dissatisfaction, and there was even a hint of disgust, which made Yang Si's heart burn.
"So what?" Yang Si asked gloomily, "You are allowed to have a son and a daughter, but you are not allowed to find a girl?"
Han Yu sneered, "Virtue does not match the position."
What the hell?
What does it have to do with "virtue does not match the position"?
Yang Si was still immersed in the shock, but Han Yu had already turned around and left. Yang Si was so angry that he ran a few steps to catch up.
They were good friends who loved each other and fought each other. It was fine that Han Yu didn't give his blessings and gifts, but he even scolded him for "virtue does not match the position"?
He was so angry that he flipped the table!
(∀ ́ □ ′) ノノ (ノ)
Yang Si was about to rush up and ask, but he suddenly thought of something and stopped.
No … Did Han Wenbin misunderstand something?
Yang Si recalled Jiang Pengji's words and instantly realized that Han Yu had misunderstood. He slapped his forehead in annoyance.
He tried to catch up and said with a bitter smile, "Wenbin, wait a minute. You misunderstood."
Han Yu stopped and turned to look at him, "What misunderstanding?"
"It is true that I proposed marriage to the lord, but it is not the lord." Yang Si spread out his hands and said gloomily, "The lord has a lover, and that lover is your junior. Zixiao is a very jealous person. If this misunderstanding spreads to his ears, will Si still be able to live? "
Han Yu was speechless.
Yang Si continued, "The proposal is to marry Captain Jiang, and the lord treats her like a sister. If it is a marriage proposal, the lord will have to be involved. "
"Captain Jiang?" Han Yu raised his eyebrows, "You have a good eye."
This was not a compliment. Every word was filled with mockery.
Jiang Nongqin was the number one heroine in the lord's camp. Many people had their eyes on this fat piece of meat, but Yang Si had taken it.
Han Yu felt sorry for Jiang Nongqin. Why did she choose Yang Si, the unreliable guy?
Yang Si pretended not to understand. He cheekily replied with a smile, "Of course I have good taste."
Han Yu was annoyed.
Yang Si came back to his senses and asked, "Why are you so indignant that Si has something to do with the lord, but you don't have any reaction if it's Zixiao?"
Han Yu said, "Let's not talk about anything else. Zixiao is a gentleman. Are you?"
Yang Si was speechless after hearing this.
"I used to be young and ignorant, but now I'm … a prodigal son, a prodigal son who has turned over a new leaf is more valuable than gold!"
Yang Si tried to regain some ground, but Han Yu only responded with a sneer.
Young and insensible?
A prodigal who repents is more valuable than gold?
Hehe, how shameless!
Han Yu coldly expressed his contempt. Yang Si could only cover his face in despair.
Did he really have to work with Han Yu, the hypocrite, for a year?
If so, Yang Si was not sure if he would die of exhaustion or from anger. Han Yu's mouth was too irritating!
"Wenbin … About the things that the lord has assigned to you, what are your plans?"
Yang Si decisively chose to change the topic. He would have a heart attack if he continued to be entangled in this topic.
Han Yu frowned and said awkwardly, "It's not difficult to collect files, investigate privately, and make new laws. What's difficult is how to make the people accept the new laws. If the people openly attack, the lord's reputation will inevitably be damaged. I'm also afraid that other gentry families will oppose it. "
Jiang Pengji's legislation to protect children had, to some extent, damaged the feudal parents' right to dispose of private property.
Filial piety was prevalent. Feudal parents naturally hoped that their children could obey them unconditionally.
If it was illegal to beat and scold children, those parents would be furious.
They gave their children their lives, gave them food, and raised them up. Why couldn't they control everything about their children?
That was what parents thought nowadays.
Therefore, if they really wanted to legislate, every detail had to be taken into account. They had to clearly distinguish between educating children and maliciously beating them.
Yang Si said, "I think of someone who can help us with this matter."
Han Yu asked, "Who?"
Yang Si said, "The lord's lover!"
The two of them visited Wei Ci together. Wei Ci was busy. He was handling two documents with a pen in each hand.
His work efficiency was like a cheat.
Yang Si knocked on the table and called, "Zixiao, I have something to ask of you."
Wei Ci stopped writing and looked at Yang Si. "What's the matter?"
Han Yu stepped forward and said, "Jing Rong said that you can help me with the matter."
Wei Ci looked serious. He put the two bamboo slips aside to dry and stood up to greet the two.
"If there's anything, Wenbin can send someone to inform me. You don't have to come in person."
Han Yu sighed and explained the cause and effect. Wei Ci's expression also became serious.
"I came today to ask Zixiao if there's any way to protect the lord's reputation."
"It's not difficult." Wei Ci thought for a while and said, "The people's obedience is the mandate of heaven. It doesn't matter if the aristocrats oppose it, as long as the people agree. As long as the people agree, there won't be much resistance to the lord's new law. This matter can be handed over to Ci. "
Wei Ci was the best at manipulating public opinion.
Han Yu asked, "What are you going to do?"
Wei Ci smiled, "The people are tired of hearing the stories of praises and romance. They'll change their taste after the new year."
Yang Si shivered and asked, "Wait. Are you going to let the novelists write … those stories?"
Wei Ci said, "Why not? Novels are 70% true and 30% false. Although there are some exaggerated parts, the overall situation is still based on reality. If you let the novelists write novels and put them on the streets and alleys, the people will be resentful and hate them. When their emotions reach the peak, Wenbin will put out the prototype of the new law. The people will only cheer and sing praises of the lord's benevolence and love. Even if there are people who oppose it, I'm afraid that the people will tear them to pieces. It's a good thing to legislate to protect children. What are the intentions of those who oppose it? "
The people were all illiterate and couldn't read a word.
People hated them when they were ignorant, but they warmed people's hearts when they were simple. Their emotions were the easiest to manipulate and use.
Of course, the people wouldn't know whose interests the new law would hurt. They would only see the poor and innocent children being hurt.
Not only would the people not oppose the new law, but they would also support the new law with a sense of justice.
Yang Si and Han Yu trembled secretly.
This manipulation of public opinion to play with people's hearts was really good.
Han Yu frowned and said, "In this case … aren't you worried that it will have the opposite effect?"
The explosion of negative emotions would have a negative impact.
