great mandate

"No!" Qi Lao looked at Luo Jinyu and waved his hands again and again, "This will never happen!"

Although Luo Jinyu was apprehensive, she said resolutely: "Student has made up his mind. Marriage is not a child's play. There is absolutely no reason to repent easily."

"You're just kidding!" Qi Lao slapped the table heavily, causing the black and white twins on the chessboard to jump up, and he shouted, "Luo Zishi, I hope you will be an official and a citizen, and I hope you will leave a name in history. What kind of name do you want to keep, eternal infamy?!"

Luo Jinyu frowned, pouted his neck and said: "What does this matter have to do with other things? Shen Wuji and I are both unmarried, we are both alone, he—"

"He's a man, he's a eunuch!" Qi Lao said angrily, "He's also a traitor who was born in Dongchang, plays with power, and coerces the emperor to make the princes!"

Now there are only the three of them in the flower hall. Elder Qi has no scruples, and said bluntly, "He brought down Cao Guozhong, but what did he do for the purpose of 'killing relatives with righteousness'? He just wanted to replace him, and he did ask him to replace him." , what he wants to do is the second Cao Guozhong. Regardless of how many things Shen Wuji did to frame Zhongliang in order to cling to Cao Guozhong when Cao Guozhong gained power, how many things he has done to eradicate dissidents in the court now relying on the trust of the new emperor ,do not you know?"

Luo Jinyu said: "He did cling to Cao Guozhong at the beginning, but it was for the sake of suffering. Not only did he not intend to help the evildoers, but he secretly opened the door for the offspring of Zhongliang who were tortured. Sir, you and the world have many misunderstandings about him. I know He has a perverse and eccentric temperament, but his disposition is by no means the same as Cao Guozhong. It is absolutely impossible to eradicate dissidents now, and he is also dedicated to being the king..."

"You took ecstasy!" Qi Lao scolded, "Confused! Confused!"

"gentlemen--"

"If they are not of my race, their hearts must be different!" Qi Lao said decisively.

Luo Jinyu asked back: "Then dare to ask sir, what is 'our family'?"

Elder Qi couldn't help but choked, and after a while, he said sadly, "He's a eunuch! Zi Shi, you grew up reading sage books!"

"The sages' books did not teach me to regard eunuchs as inferior to others." Luo Jinyu said, "Besides, not all of the sages' books are irrefutable truths. Confucius replied that only women and villains are difficult to raise. I don't know about other women, but my mother is also a woman, so I think this statement is really absurd. Based on this inference, it is really ambiguous to judge the types of people and classify people. Men are people, so women and eunuchs are not. People? What's more, eunuchs are only physically deficient, so how can they not be considered men? Could it be that blind people with one arm, lame leg and deaf are not considered men? If they can all be counted, why can't they be deficient in other places alone?"

"..." Qi Lao blushed, and said, "You are a sophistry! Well, you Luo Zishi, the sophistry has come to your husband, who taught you this?"

"I'm not sophistry, but just reasoning." Luo Jinyu said.

Elder Qi took a deep breath: "I won't discuss this with you. Even if you are both men, it is precisely because of this that there is only the principle of harmony between yin and yang in this world. How can a man marry a man?"

Hearing this, Luo Jinyu immediately took out a book from her bosom, and said cautiously: "The student once bought the latest edition of the marriage law of the dynasty, and read it all the way. There is absolutely no prohibition on marriage between men and women. Please read it, sir. .”

Old Qi: "........."

I see... I see your size!

The remaining rationality prevented Mr. Qi from picking up the book with trembling hands, and then smashing it at the delirious proud student. He could only stare with anger and gasp for breath.

Seeing him like this, Luo Jinyu hurriedly said: "Sir, calm down, don't get angry."

Qi Lao stopped talking for a while, turned his head away, panted heavily, his heart rate was indeed beating high, and his eyes turned black.Luo Jinyu didn't dare to speak anymore, for fear of angering him and harming his body.The two were silent for a long time.

After Mr. Qi managed to slow down, thinking about Luo Jinyu's temper that even eight cows could not get back even if he was so stubborn, he didn't look at him, and asked in a hoarse voice: "It seems that you are determined to do this?"

Luo Jinyu lowered her eyes: "The student insists on this."

"I'm only giving you two years of schoolwork. I can't be regarded as anyone else, so I can't control your affairs." Qi Lao said cruelly, "If you insist on doing this, I will let you go, but this ceremony I am If you don't watch it, whoever wants to watch it will go!"

"Get married tonight?!"

In the palace, when the emperor heard the news from Zhan Qingshui, he immediately jumped up from his chair, "What kind of drama is this?"

Sitting on the sidelines, Jia Wang, who came to invite An to accompany Sheng Jia and gossip about family affairs, also widened his eyes, and said, "In such a hurry? No, what's going on? Why did the scene end here?"

Zhan Qingshui said with a smile: "Returning to what His Majesty said to the lord, the slaves were also frightened, it seemed that Mr. Luo did not know why, and seemed to have repentance. Mr. Shen was afraid of long nights and dreams, so he was in a hurry to settle the matter. It is also today. It was decided in haste, and he never dared to delay for a moment to hide it from the Holy Majesty. As soon as he made a decision, he immediately reported it to the Holy Majesty. He originally wanted to come to the Holy Majesty to report it in person, but he and Na Luo The young master started to make a fuss, there is a senior brother of Mr. Luo in the mansion, he is a person from the world, he is not reasonable, he is very arrogant, he is always watching to rob Mr. Luo and fly away, so scared that Mr. Shen dare not leave easily, so He didn't enter the palace himself, so he asked his servant Wan to ask the emperor to forgive him."

The emperor waved his hand: "It's not an outsider, there is nothing wrong with it. It's his marriage... Hiss! Really? What are you arguing about?"

Zhan Qingshui covered his mouth and smiled: "It seems true. When the servants were going to pass the decree, they happened to be arguing. The servants listened to it, and it seemed that Mr. Luo delayed the marriage and wanted to travel far away from Beijing. Eunuch Shen was in a hurry. He said that he wanted to go back on his word and run away from the marriage, so he settled the accounts and figured out a huge debt of 760 five taels of silver out of thin air, asking Mr. Luo to either repay the money or get married to pay off the debt. Mr. Luo is a scholar, how can he bear the anger of Eunuch Shen, Then the quarrel became more and more serious. Mr. Luo also asked the servant girl if the house and good land that the emperor gave him could be sold off, so that he can pay back the unjust debt."

The emperor heard such gossip, it was much more interesting than watching the foxes pulling each other's hind legs all day long, and couldn't help but tsk-tsk, King Jia was also very interested in hearing it, and took the initiative to ask: "Then what did you say? "

"How can I dare to answer casually, my servant? It was given by the Son of Heaven. I only dare to say that I can only make a decision after I return to the palace and ask the Holy Majesty." Zhan Qingshui said.

The emperor laughed loudly, looked at King Jia, rolled his eyes, and joined in the fun and said: "You said, if I tell him, can it be sold?"

King Jia said: "That depends on whether it is enough or not. This is a huge debt. If Chenna's mansion is sold, it may not be able to be sold. I don't know how Eunuch Shen calculated this amount."

The emperor didn't think it was a big deal when he watched the excitement, he immediately patted his chest and said proudly: "It's not enough, I'll make it up for him!"

In short, it is not for me to give out money from my own house. The name is that the government is sorry for Luo Jinyu, and the money is taken from the treasury. Anyway, if it is not given to Luo Jinyu, it is not for me to spend at will. It is better for me to use it as a favor than to be accepted The group of old foxes robbed each other to do their good work.The emperor thought so incomparably bachelor.

Zhan Qingshui smiled and said, "Then Eunuch Shen is probably going crazy."

The three chatted and laughed about this for a while, but the emperor still said: "Forget it, I would rather demolish a temple than destroy a marriage, why should I do such an unpleasant thing."

Jia Wang and Zhan Qingshui hurriedly echoed him and praised him for his sage and kindness.

The emperor thought about it and asked, "Does King Jia have anything else to do today?"

King Jia smiled and said: "I originally had an appointment with a beautiful woman at night, but now Eunuch Shen is overjoyed, but how can there be any beautiful woman as good as him? It's so lively, I think I have to go and see it on behalf of the emperor, and send it off for the emperor." Congratulations."

"Come on, you stingy one, go and have a meal by yourself, and let me pay for it." The emperor said, "This can't be done, you give your own gifts, and what I give is what I send."

King Jia made a melancholy look on purpose, and said: "I'm so careful, how can I escape the emperor's fire, alas."

The emperor was amused by him, and said: "Don't be melancholy, I haven't finished talking yet, I will accompany you to Shen's mansion for a meal!"

But Zhan Qingshui hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, this trip is in a hurry, I'm afraid I'm not well prepared, just in case..."

"Hey! The more hasty and impromptu, the less afraid of assassins." The emperor said, "Don't persuade, hurry up and prepare, don't delay things. Sigh, I haven't left the palace for a long time, and today I can't care about Shen Wuji You can go out for a walk, don't tell him in advance, otherwise this trip will be in vain."

Zhan Qingshui: "..."

You are afraid of him, I'm just a display? !

Zhan Qingshui hesitated to speak.

The emperor thought about it, thought of his daughter-in-law, and said: "Why don't you call the queen together, just in time to meet her younger brother."

This time, Zhan Qingshui gave up on life and death, and hurriedly knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, if the Empress also leaves the palace together, it will be even more inappropriate. My servant, I ask the Emperor to consider it again!"

Seeing this posture, the emperor quickly changed his words: "You are right, the empress, as the mother of a country, can't leave the palace at will, then don't tell her about it beforehand, I will go by myself."

Zhan Qingshui: "..."

Besides, in the Yu residence, no matter how Luo Jinyu persuaded him, Mr. Qi seemed to be determined, and he refused to look at him again, only sighing that he disappointed him.

Luo Jinyu felt sad, and in the end, he could only salute again and again, saying: "The student is ashamed of Mr.'s expectations, and the student is extremely ashamed. The student is deeply regretful that he cannot be invited, and will not force it anymore. But the student promises to you that he will never If you do something that insults the teachings of Mr., you will definitely be loyal to the court and seek the well-being of the people, and you will never let Shen Wuji go astray."

Seeing that he was obsessed with obsession, Mr. Qi got up angrily, flicked his sleeves, and left angrily.

Luo Jinyu watched him leave the flower hall, remained silent for a while, looked back at Elder Yu Ge, and suddenly said: "Elder Ge did it on purpose."

Not a question, but an affirmation.

Only then did Old Yu Ge slowly open his eyes again, and said flatly, "Why did you say that?"

"Mr. Ge knew about Shen Wuji and I, but he intentionally kept it from Mr. Qi. He had anticipated what happened today. If Mr. Ge had told Mr. Qi earlier, after many days, Mr. Qi would no longer be so angry. " Luo Jinyu said.

Old Yu Ge was noncommittal, but said: "I didn't know that you two got married today. Although I have studied the Book of Changes for decades, I don't have this supernatural power."

"Elder Ge may not count my marriage with Shen Wuji today, but he can. I will come to pay a visit to Mr. Qi sooner or later. Elder Ge must also know that Mr. Qi intends to propose marriage to me. At that time, I will refuse, and it is inevitable that he will tell me. There is nothing to do with Shen Wuji." Luo Jinyu frowned slightly, and said, "Elder Ge hasn't given up yet, you know that I respect Mr. Qi, and I am grateful for his resignation and re-entry to Beijing for me, so I hope to use his thunderous anger to stop it. The matter between me and Shen Wuji. Did Luo say something wrong?"

Mr. Yu Ge suddenly said: "That's right. But, it seems that I overestimated you. He Qi Qian said that you are the most filial and righteous person, but now it seems that you are also a naughty person. He has worked a lot for you. If you want He's so angry, it's been decades, I don't think I've seen him get so angry, you are really a good student he is proud of."

Luo Jinyu suddenly felt angry, and said with restraint: "It's the old man who underestimated me."

Old Yu Ge slightly raised his eyebrows: "Oh?"

"I will not underestimate myself. I was trained by the court to be a filial person when I was young, but I will not change my mind just because of the name and face just because of the old man's words. , this matter hurt his heart, I am also very guilty, but this has nothing to do with whether Shen Wuji and I are married."

Luo Jinyu straightened her waist, stood with her hands behind her back, and said vigorously, "If I am bound by the elder Ge's plan today, I will be trapped in more quagmire and spider threads in the future. Favors force Luo to act, then the old man is wrong. If I am wrong, I will admit it and change it, and no one else needs to hold my head. But if what I did is not wrong, then the old man will hold my head , I will never bow my head willingly."

Old Yu Ge sneered slightly, but said nothing.

Luo Jinyu was angry, and continued: "But for this matter, Mr. Ge even designed it with decades of old friends, using people's hearts and favors to achieve his own goals. Luo does not agree with this approach."

"I have met you a few times, but I also feel that you seem to be very dissatisfied with my actions." Yu Ge said in a low voice, "I also find it very novel because of this, and I would like to ask you, the government and the public, I'm the one who doesn't offend people the most, but you can't get used to it, haha."

"Ge Lao naturally does not want to offend others, because Ge Lao loves to speculate on people's hearts, deliberately ambiguous, and has both sides. He is clearly in a high position, but he has no heart for the world. He does not want to benefit the people, but only wants to be good for himself and exploit cleverness." Luo Jinyu said bluntly. .

"Bold." Old Yu Ge said in a deep voice, "Do you still remember who you are and who I am?"

He has been an official for dozens of years, and has been in a high position for many years. Although he is old now and always pretends to be old and faint, once he shows his power, he still has extraordinary momentum. Even if he doesn't show an angry face, it is enough to make people chill.

"You are the chief assistant of the cabinet, and I am a commoner student." Luo Jinyu was not afraid at all, and said with her head up, "However, this is not in conflict with what I have to say. The old man's salary from the imperial court is all for the people's anointing, and the cabinet I always do things for the people, but why can’t I listen to the people’s words? The people can only say good things about you, but they can’t say bad things about you?”

"I offended Jun Taiwei, muddied the water, and overturned the case for you, just to hear you pointing at me and scolding me here?" Old Yu Ge asked sharply.

"The kindness of the old man, I also remember it in my heart, but this has nothing to do with my criticism of the old man who is in his position but does not seek his own government." Luo Jinyu said calmly.

"You ungrateful white-eyed wolf!" Yu Ge scolded, "Qi Qian treats you kindly, but you are so angry that he is half dead, and I treat you kindly, and you scold me half to death, yet you still have the nerve to speak up here, and you should be Do yourself justice!"

"If I am favored by the two of you, I will ignore the facts and obey blindly from now on. Then what is the difference between me and a puppet walking corpse? How is the behavior of the old man different from buying people's hearts? How is your behavior and forming a party? Different?" Luo Jinyu asked back.

"Okay!" Old Yu Ge shouted angrily, "I, Yu Huailiang, actually became Mr. Dong Guo once! This life is worth it!"

Luo Jinyu didn't speak for a while, only Yu Ge's heavy and hoarse voice echoed in the flower hall.

The author has something to say: Mr. Luo’s career in life: hate people, just hate, everyone hates, and it’s over.

Eunuch Shen's lifelong trick: mess around, mess around with everything, and mess around and it's over.

Spoiler: One day in the future, Master Luo and Eunuch Shen won the only designated special honor CP title in this dynasty with nearly full votes: Hateful Husband. (The missing two votes are their own two votes)
