When Gu Shixiong heard Yuchi Yan's delighted voice, his heart felt stifled.
He had tried so hard to persuade him several times, but it was all in vain. Yuchi Yan didn't take it to heart at all.
He could understand that young men were interested in beautiful women, but couldn't Yuchi Yan take a look at what kind of person she was? She was Prince Zhongshun's woman, and she had just given birth to two children for Prince Zhongshun!
If she had him in her heart, that would be fine.
The problem was that she didn't have him in her heart at all. She only wanted to help her husband and raise her children. Who knew when she would stab them with a knife?
In terms of intelligence and scheming, Yuchi Yan couldn't compare to Qin Yining.
Gu Shixiong was very afraid that Qin Yining would use a honey trap on Yuchi Yan! He was sure that as long as Qin Yining moved a finger, Yuchi Yan would rush up to him and help him count the money!
Gu Shixiong's heart was filled with assisting Yuchi Yan to restore the Dayan Dynasty. However, the emperors of the Yan dynasty were getting worse with each generation. It made him mentally and physically exhausted. He even had a feeling that he wouldn't be able to complete this difficult task in his lifetime.
Gu Shixiong thought about a lot of things, but he remained silent on the surface.
Yuchi Yan didn't get a reply from Gu Shixiong for a long time, so he looked over in confusion.
He still had an excited expression on his face, but when he saw Gu Shixiong's wrinkled face and his bottomless dark eyes, Yuchi Yan felt as if someone had poured a bucket of cold water on his heart. His original throbbing and enthusiasm turned into white steam at this moment. He almost heard a "chi" sound.
Yuchi Yan was unhappy in his heart.
He was, after all, the monarch of a country. Accepting remonstrances was his magnanimity and conduct as a monarch. However, if his subjects did not know their place and kept provoking his authority, it would be somewhat disrespectful.
However, Gu Shixiong was a senior official of three dynasties. Even his father, the Emperor, had to address him as Old Grand Preceptor when he was still alive. There were many times when he needed to rely on Gu Shixiong's wisdom. Therefore, Yuchi Yan could only suppress his temper and say, "This King's words, Old Master Gu, did you not hear clearly?"
He actually had the cheek to ask!
Gu Shixiong was so angry that his beard was sticking up. If it weren't for the fact that he needed to save some face for Yuchi Yan in public, he really wanted to spit on his face.
He was truly a pile of mud that couldn't be helped!
Gu Shixiong suppressed his anger and said in a deep voice, "This old man is old and his eyesight is blurry. I can't see clearly whether that was the Prince Zhongshun's wife or not."
Even though they were not far away, the old man could still see the words clearly even when he was reading, but now he was pretending to be blind.
As a result, how could Yuchi Yan not understand what Gu Shixiong was trying to say?
It seemed like he, the former emperor, was nothing in Gu Shixiong's eyes. He didn't care about him at all!
Yuchi Yan was a stubborn person. After being mocked by Gu Shixiong, his heart was filled with anger. He immediately strode towards the carriage without a care for anything else.
"Wang Ye! Where are you going? "Gu Shixiong chased after him in shock.
Yuchi Yan said, "Since I can't see clearly, then I'll go closer. If I can, I'll say hello. "
Gu Shixiong was so angry that he almost rolled his eyes.
At this moment, Qin Yining was observing the situation at the congee factory through a corner of the carriage's warm curtains. Out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of Yuchi Yan striding over with an angry expression. She raised her eyebrows in surprise.
Could it be that Yuchi Yan knew that she was the one who caused the congee factory incident?
Otherwise, Qin Yining really couldn't think of a reason why Yuchi Yan would angrily come looking for her.
Jing Zhe and the others beside the carriage also noticed that Yuchi Yan's expression was not right. They immediately surrounded Qin Yining in a well-trained manner.
When Yuchi Yan saw Qin Yining, his ferocious expression finally relaxed. Looking at her slightly fuller cheeks after giving birth, she seemed to have more charm than before. Yuchi Yan couldn't stop his heart from beating wildly and his blood from boiling.
"Why is Wangfei also here?" Yuchi Yan forced himself to remain calm.
Qin Yining smiled, "I was bored in the fu, so I came out for a walk. I saw that this place was lively, so I stayed to take a look."
Yuchi Yan smiled and said, "It's right to come out and take a walk. It'll prevent you from being lonely in the fu." With one hand behind his back, he turned around and looked at the congee factory. He smiled and sighed, "Our Dayan people are all warm-hearted and kind-hearted. Look."
Qin Yining raised his eyebrows, "The people of the world are all the same. Human nature is good. However, Zhennan Wang should also be more careful. How can we still address Dayan people here? "
Yuchi Yan originally wanted to show off and brag that the people of the Dayan dynasty were more honest and kind-hearted than the people of the Da Zhou dynasty. Who would have thought that Qin Yining would say such a thing to him?
Yuchi Yan's original throbbing was extinguished. He felt an indescribable anger in his heart, "It seems that you have forgotten who you are."
"Oh?" Qin Yining said lightly, "In the end, is it Zhennan Wang who has forgotten, or am I the one who has forgotten?"
"You are clearly a Dayan, so why did you defect to Da Zhou like your father? What benefits did Da Zhou give you? Do you think that the Dayan can't give you? You are doing this for your own selfish desires. You have even forgotten your roots! "
"What a joke." Qin Yining sneered, "Back then, it was you who handed over the letter of surrender and willingly became a subject. That was why my father was forced to migrate. Why are you speaking as if our Family Qin specializes in producing traitors? My father is an upright person. When he does something, he will take it seriously to the extreme. When he was the Prime Minister and Imperial Tutor of the Dayan Dynasty, he was also like this. After the Dayan was destroyed, he also focused on his own matters in Da Zhou.
"However, I would like to ask Zhennan Wang. If you really care about my Family Qin so much and trust my father so much, why didn't you take him with you when you left? If I remember correctly, the old officials of the Yan dynasty who migrated to Da Zhou were all taken care of by my father before they could gradually gain a foothold. Why, when you left my father behind to take the blame, did you not consider my father's feelings? "
"You!" Yuchi Yan was rendered speechless by Qin Yining's words. After a while, he squeezed out a sentence, "Your father is wholeheartedly loyal to your husband. How can I trust him!"
"Then let me ask the honorable Zhennan Wang. Do you care about your throne, or do you care about the lives of the common people? Look at those common people! "
Qin Yining angrily pointed at the poor people who were receiving congee from the congee factory. News of the congee factory had spread. Today, there were even more people who came. It looked like there were about five to six hundred people.
Influenced by etiquette, the common people also had integrity and backbone. As long as their family had enough food to eat and didn't starve to death, they would definitely not receive congee from the government. If their neighbors or friends found out that they went to receive congee even though their family didn't starve to death, they would be criticized behind their backs.
Therefore, the five to six hundred people present right now were all people who didn't have enough food to eat and were about to starve to death in this cold winter!
"Look at them. What they need is a stable life, to recuperate and build up their strength. They don't need the chaos of war. They don't need the men in their families to be forced to go to war from time to time. They don't need the old, weak, women, and children to be unable to farm! In the past, the fatuous ruler plundered the common people's wealth and used the money to save lives to create a treasure for himself. Do you want to learn from him? "
