The Heartthrob System cultivates brotherhood online

ducal mansion.

As soon as he got home, the housekeeper came up to him and leaned over to say to Ling Si, "The Duke is in the tea room."

Ling Si hummed, and Shang Yue slowed down and helped him take off his coat and hung it on the hanger. Then he bent down and helped him straighten his slippers so that he could put them on.

The housekeeper and the servants were numb to these matters. Although it was not necessary to let the heir of a small family work as a servant in the Duke's Mansion, the nature of a tutor was inherently such. Moreover, they had never seen someone as diligent as Shang Yue. He wanted to take care of Ling Si's food, clothing, housing and transportation. If Ling Si did not need him to be with him all the time, Shang Yue would probably go in and out of the kitchen every day.

——This is an area that Shang Yue has not yet involved in.

There is no trace of the stubborn little animal look he had when he first came to the Duke's Mansion.

"Go do your own thing first." Ling Si kicked his calf.

Shang Yue lowered his head slightly, his handsome and sharp face half-hidden, his emotions unclear, and left as he was told.

Pushing open the door of the tea room, wisps of white mist rose in front of the tea table. The man sat cross-legged in front of the table with his back straight. His slender fingers moved flexibly as he hooked the teacup and teapot. The whole process went smoothly and he filled two cups of tea.

——"Who in the family understands? Xiaoyu actually saw such a thing on Mifan Star..."

Ling Si was already used to the inappropriate sound of short videos breaking such a harmonious atmosphere. In recent years, with the reform of the star network, short videos, a species from ancient Earth, have become more and more popular in the empire.

The man was 50% similar to Ling Si, with narrow and long eyes with a hook at the corners. His similar face had an expression that didn't match the atmosphere.

"Son, here I come."

Ling Fufeng clapped his hands, smiled boldly, and wrinkles appeared at the corners of his eyes, showing his bold and generous style. At this time, there was a small square blue screen above his light brain. A travel blogger was excited in the screen, chattering about the unfair treatment he suffered on Mifan Star.

Ling Si imitated him, sitting cross-legged on the mat, picked up the cup and drank a sip of tea: "You can zoom in and take a look."

Ling Fufeng has a gentle face, but his personality and style are totally different from his face. He took a big sip, as if he was drinking, and sighed softly: "This is how it feels."

Ling Si didn't know what it felt like to be so sneaky. It was not only a bad viewing experience, but also harmful to his eyesight.

"Did Yu Lan tell you that he was coming to your house?" Ling Si asked.

Ling Fufeng scrolled down and changed the video. There was another noise. The man answered absentmindedly, "I said I refused. I know what he wants to do. He is so sick that I am afraid he will die at home."

"What if the Queen blames me?"

Ling Fufeng avoided them, with a hint of disdain in his expression, "These politicians have dirty hearts, they are all off work, don't even think about letting me work."

Ling Si nodded, deeply touched. Yu Lan was dedicated to his work, and he also hoped that others would be as dedicated as them. This was understandable, but Ling Si was not his subordinate, and he was just wasting his time: "I know, he lied to me today and made me wait there for half an hour, and then I got sick."

"Hey," Grand Duke Ling clapped his hands, a gloating smile on his elegant face, "Look, this is retribution!"

"So you want me to help you block it? Do I look idle, Dad?" He also only had two days of vacation.

Ling Fufeng didn't want to entertain anyone and didn't let anyone come, but he couldn't save face, so he could only let Ling Si go to visit.

"It's bitter before it's sweet. Your dad didn't go to military school, so we'll have holidays in the future." The man poured him more tea and said to him seriously. Unfortunately, kids nowadays are too smart. Ling Si pointed out the key point: "Do you steal your holidays?"

Ling Si hasn't asked him how many days of vacation he has, otherwise it would be even more heartbreaking. Even so, Ling Si still feels that Ling Fufeng must have more vacations than a military academy student.

He is still in the adaptation stage, and after the freshman period is over, he may only come back once every six months.

"So you realize the importance of vacation, congratulations, don't disturb dad, I need to relax."

Before leaving, Ling Si said, "Watch less meaningless videos."

Father Ling shook his head with an expression that said, "You don't understand."

......

The light brain made a beeping sound, and Feng Jinqing sent a message. It was some meaningless words of concern, but the last sentence actually piqued his interest.

——The Grand Duke has always wanted to abolish the title system.

......

Ling Fufeng inherited his title from his father, but his halo does not entirely come from the fact that he is the only Grand Duke of the empire. Going to the battlefield at the age of 22, Ling Fufeng killed countless Zergs, made great military achievements, and was awarded the rank of major general. If he had not retired due to injury a few years ago, he would still be on the front line now.

A national hero naturally cannot sit idle. Ling Fufeng was successively elected to the Noble Parliament and the Cabinet to participate in decision-making. If it were the ambitious Ling Fufeng when he was young, he would definitely be grateful for such an honor, and he might even be more dedicated than Yu Lan and Cheng Qingyi, the two civilian lights.

Ling Fufeng often said: "This is the stage for you young people, why would you ask me to come?"

But in fact, Ling Fufeng himself is only fifty years old, in the prime of his life.

He has served the Empire for more than twenty years.

Half of my life was spent growing up under the protection of the empire, and the other half was spent serving the empire.

In recent years, Ling Fufeng felt increasingly powerless. The empire was plagued by internal and external conflicts. He retired at the age when the Zerg Queen was in hibernation, and the Zerg was in decline. At the same time, domestic conflicts gradually escalated. This conflict was instantly intensified when Yu Lan became a cabinet minister and Cheng Qingyi was elected Speaker of the House of Commons.

The common people who had been oppressed for hundreds of years stood up. There were parades everywhere in the streets. People held up portraits of Queen Cecilia and the two lights of the common people and directly resisted the oppression of the old aristocracy.

Ling Fufeng had a very bad reputation for a while. It was rumored that his military achievements were obtained by relying on the protection of his ancestors, and that his rank of major general was bought with power. Although these were the words of a minority of radicals, it was such extreme words that were most likely to arouse public anger. Even though the rampant posts on Starnet were quickly deleted, they were considered to be official silencing.

Ling Fufeng never cared about his reputation, but his family was his bottom line that could not be offended, not to mention that these people's verbal fight also involved his wife and children. He immediately asked his lawyer to sue them and provide a one-stop service including compensation, apology, and imprisonment.

Insulting imperial soldiers and infringing on their reputation rights will be punishable by a minimum sentence of ten years.

The rumors gradually died down, but Ling Fufeng's reputation was still mixed.

Ling Fufeng looked at his wife's photo at night and couldn't sleep all night.

Since then, Ling Fufeng gradually had the idea of ​​retiring. This year is the third year since he proposed to abolish the title system. Since the equal rights movement, there are only eight old nobles in the empire in the strict sense, two earls, three viscounts, two barons... More old nobles, because of oppression of civilians, their descendants have not made any achievements, and the shadow of their ancestors has come to an end.

The remaining nobles are basically headed by the Grand Duke, together with some outstanding entrepreneurs and planetary governors, forming the House of Lords. Ling Fufeng once reached a consensus with Ling Si that neither of them wanted this title. Ling Fufeng believed in his son's ability and that he could make a name for himself even without the title of Duke.

Without this title, Ling Fufeng is just a wealthy planetary governor and a former major general of the empire. With hundreds of planets under his command, he can also have decision-making power in the Senate. Those noble families will naturally follow him, and they also have their own background.

At night, Ling Si went downstairs to find some water to drink. He happened to run into his father who had stayed up late and was returning to his room. His father patted him on the shoulder and said earnestly, "Son, you can lead the empire's troops, but don't be its slaves!"

Ling Si:?

After saying that, Ling Fufeng walked upstairs in a disorderly manner, muttering, "I drank too much tea and I have to pee urgently."

Ling Si: “…”
