On the night of my rebirth, I brought the ball to find the living devil!

There was singing and dancing at the banquet, and it was a joyful scene.

However, after three rounds of drinks, there are always some people who want to cause trouble in this harmonious atmosphere.

After the singer finished dancing, she had some free time.

An official stood up, held his head high, and walked to the center of the hall with a glass of wine in his hand.

"Prince Regent, I offer you a toast."

The person who spoke was the Secretary of the Central Secretariat Guo Yongkang, but he also had another identity: Zhou Chongye's mentor.

Originally, this person was devoted to the government, and most of his thoughts were on books.

However, Guo Yongkang's legitimate daughter, Guo Qiao, was the tacit candidate for queen.

But at the last banquet held by the Emperor to choose his empress, she, who was determined to win the empress, was humiliated by Zhou Chongye in public and suffered a lot of grievances!

Guo Qiao's grandmother had already asked someone to inquire about Queen Mother Cui's opinion, and she had the greatest hope of becoming the queen!

But now, it was snatched away by a mere deputy general's daughter!

After Guo Yongkang returned home, his wife and mother took turns beating and scolding him!

As a civil servant, he was no match for two women.

Moreover, his precious daughter was crying beside him. He had always only cared about the golden house in the book, but under the crazy indoctrination of these three women, he felt resentment towards the royal family for the first time!

Zhou Chongye and Qiao'er were already familiar with each other, and the Queen Mother also treated Qiao'er differently.

If it weren't for Yang Zhen, would I be able to endure the pressure from these three women?

Besides, what my mother said was not without reason. I have been working diligently for the court. I have been the Minister of the Central Secretariat for many years! It is time for me to be promoted!

"It has been more than two months since the regent left. All matters of the court are on the emperor's shoulders. Our emperor is new to court affairs, so it is inevitable that he may be unable to do what he wants."

Guo Yongkang said this in a very subtle way, but how could Zhou Chongye and Yang Zhen not know his purpose!

On the day of the posthumous election banquet, Yang Zhen, who had not come willingly, was in a depressed mood. Out of boredom, he went to a pond alone to relax. Unexpectedly, he ran into Zhou Chongye, who was also in a depressed mood because of the banquet.

The two of them, who were equally helpless, actually sympathized with each other during their conversations...

Three days later, before the imperial edict to establish the queen came down, Guo Yongkang, as his teacher, severely embarrassed Zhou Chongye during the morning court session!

But, in the end, it couldn't be stopped.

Zhou Chongye, who has always been indecisive, is particularly stubborn about this matter of Yang Zhen!

In the month since then, Guo Yongkang has been looking for Yang Zhen's faults.

Unfortunately, Yang Zhen was in the harem and Guo Yongkang couldn't reach her at all!

So, he simply bypassed the barriers between civil and military officials and targeted Yang Kuan everywhere!

In the court, civil officials have always looked down on military officials with their chins, and because of the special relationship between Guo Yongkang and the emperor, all officials chose to turn a blind eye.

Today, Zhou Yuming returned to the court to hold a welcoming banquet, which gave him a solid opportunity!

Guo Yongkang glanced at Yang Zhen above with contempt, and felt that the extremely noble phoenix robe looked out of place on her!

"Prime Minister Ning and I can still help with matters concerning the court."

The prime minister, Ning Sui, who had been oblivious to what was happening outside, was suddenly called out. A gleam of light flashed in his eyes, which were originally calm, but he concealed it by lowering his eyes.

Guo Yongkang: "But... what about the others... The emperor is still young and kind-hearted, so it's inevitable that he will be deceived by sweet words!"

As soon as these words were spoken, all the officials who had been in cahoots with Guo Yongkang stood up.

"Yes, Your Majesty. Daning is currently experiencing prosperity. Your Majesty must put the overall situation first!"

"Your Majesty is at an age of vigor and vitality, so you must not act on your own when encountering things!"

At this time, everyone had different expressions.

After all, it was because Yang Kuan’s official position was too low.

As the daughter of a minor deputy general, if Yang Zhen entered the harem, she could at most be made a noble concubine. It was indeed unreasonable for her to suddenly become the queen of a country. Guo Yongkang just used this as an excuse to make trouble!

Empress Dowager Cui understood the implicit meaning of Guo Yongkang's words, but she felt indebted to the Guo family and could not refute him in public at this time.

Yang Zhen, who was sitting upright, glanced at Zhou Chongye who was forbearing. Although he was angry inside, he couldn't show it.

Guo Yongkang threatened the emperor with kindness. If the emperor embarrassed him in public, he would probably be accused of disrespecting his teacher by the civil officials.

In the end, I could only sigh helplessly.

Zhou Chongye had a gentle personality and was not suitable for the position of the emperor. It took Zhou Yuming three years to get him on track in Daning.

But only two months after leaving, Zhou Chongye was bullied by these ministers to the point of being speechless!

Jiang Luoluo held a piece of dessert in her hand, broke off a corner, and crushed it gently in her hand. The crispy dessert broke into crumbs bit by bit.

Guo Yongkang started with the affairs of the court, and as a woman from the rear house, it was not appropriate for her to say anything more.

But Zhou Chengye, who was standing next to him, had a glass of wine in his hand and seemed oblivious to what Guo Yongkang said.

For a moment, you could hear a pin drop in the hall, and everyone unconsciously slowed down their breathing.

Seeing this, Guo Yongkang felt even more proud!

"Why is the emperor silent? But what did I say wrong?"

The wine glass in Zhou Chongye's hand was suddenly clenched, his face was stiff, and he forced out a few words through his teeth.

"Teacher's words make sense..."

Hearing this, Guo Yongkang's eyebrows danced with joy, his old face full of pride!

"Brother! Are you confused?!"

In the spacious hall, a childish voice sounded at an inopportune time.

Everyone looked at the person who spoke, to see who dared to say that the emperor was confused!

At this time, Zhou Yan stood up and walked towards Guo Yongkang in the center of the hall with his short legs.

At the same time Zhou Yan spoke, Yang Zhen breathed a sigh of relief.

Behind Zhou Yan is the Regent Zhou, and his words represent Zhou Yuming's attitude!

"Royal brother, Anzhi recently found a new teacher. In the first lesson after entering school, Mr. Wu taught him a word: respect teachers and elders."

"There is so much knowledge in this word 'respecting teacher'!"

Guo Yongkang looked at Zhou Yan in confusion, not knowing what he meant by this. However, he didn't take the nonsense of a little kid seriously!

"To treat others with courtesy is to show respect. To treat others with sincerity is to show respect. The teacher's words should naturally be remembered."

At this point, Guo Yongkang was completely relieved about Zhou Yan!

"but!"

At this moment! Zhou Yan suddenly changed the subject!

"While you should respect your teacher, you must also pay attention to his words and deeds. If he makes a mistake, I have the obligation to point it out! Otherwise, wouldn't it be like tarnishing the integrity of our teacher? That would be like aiding and abetting evil!"

Everyone looked at Zhou Yan, not understanding what he meant.

At this time, Zhou Yan slowly turned around. His small body and chubby face were full of coldness, and his golden pupils looked directly at Guo Yongkang!

"May I ask, Lord Guo, what exactly did you mean by what you just said?"
