Wang Hong was so angry that his liver hurt.
He felt that Yang Tiejiang was deliberately trying to disgust him, and he gritted his teeth and said, "How can my son be useless? My daughter is going to get married, how can she inherit the family business!"
"Oh, so Lord Wang also believes that women can't inherit the family business? Then how could you have such a mindset to think that the Emperor of Qi could allow someone with even the slightest blood relationship to inherit the throne?"
"You, a ragtag family not even worth half a town, are unwilling to let a woman inherit your family business. How could you be so upset that an emperor would be willing to give his kingdom and throne to a woman who is completely unrelated to him? And a woman from another country?"
"Do you think the emperor's brain is just like yours, filled with shit?"
Yang Tiejiang's undisguised sarcasm made Wang Hong so angry that his face turned red.
If Wang Hong hadn't been unable to faint at the grand court meeting, he would probably have fainted from anger at Yang Tiejiang.
But I have to say that what Yang Tiejiang said is true.
Everyone was stunned.
Including Emperor Wenyuan.
And those adults who had just agreed with Wang Hong's words quickly retracted their necks, for fear of being targeted by the father and son of the Yang family and being scolded.
It's so scary.
What's wrong with the mouths of this father and son? !
Dare to say anything.
But what was said seemed to be more than reasonable, leaving no room for rebuttal.
No.
There was no chance for others to refute at all.
Look at this Lord Wang. He hasn't uttered a single complete sentence since the father and son started talking. And their emperor, on the other hand, showed no intention of stopping them at all. It was obvious that he was biased towards them.
I thought Yang Tiejiang, after surrendering his military power, would become a toothless tiger, but who knew that despite being toothless, he had also grown several mouths with 'swords', ready to poke anyone in the face and cripple them!
Look, this grand court meeting ended with the killing of those Qi people, and Wang Hong was demoted and exiled to a remote place.
After the court meeting.
Many ministers gathered together to discuss the matter.
"Have you noticed recently that the Emperor seems to be very friendly with the father and son of the Zhenbei Marquis... Especially with that Envoy Yang. He just kept him here again. I wonder what kind of drug Envoy Yang gave the Emperor."
"Shh! Keep your voice down. Aren't you afraid of being beheaded?"
"However, the Emperor has been acting strangely lately. He seems to have improved his temper a lot. He used to be very wary of the Yang family, but now he seems to have completely lost that fear and is actually quite protective of them."
"This is about the cleverness of the Zhenbei Marquis. Haven't you noticed that since the last time the Zhenbei Marquis voluntarily handed over his military power, the Emperor has been treating him better and better. Not only is he no longer wary of him, he actually trusts him."
"It seems that the Marquis of Zhenbei is not as honest and reckless as he appears."
"Who in this court is a fool? They are all foxes in sheep's clothing."
Many people nodded secretly at this.
However, the father and son of the Yang family still surprised them.
Thinking back to not long ago, they were still privately laughing at Yang Tiejiang for being stupid enough to hand over military power, and they also laughed at Yang Huaijin, a hand-picked top scholar, for being made a fictitious envoy with the position of "eunuch".
At this point, many people felt a bit embarrassed!!
There were still many people like this who gathered in groups of three or four and chatted in low voices, and almost all of them were talking about the father and son of the Yang family.
There are many that I don’t like.
I feel that the father and son of the Yang family are just good at flattering others.
Of course.
No matter what they talked about in private, on the surface it was all flattering with a smile.
Just then, after everyone walked out of the hall, they saw Yang Tiejiang standing at the door with a bold look on his face. Many people came up to him with a smile and complimented him openly or covertly.
Yang Tiejiang glanced at the crowd and smiled innocently, "My Lords, I feel really relieved by your kind words. Later, I will have someone write down your words. Then I can learn from you and speak to the Emperor..."
Everyone: ...?
Looking at Yang Tiejiang with a silly smile, everyone felt their mouths twitch, some were slightly annoyed, but more of them were helpless. In the end, everyone could only smile awkwardly and find a reason to leave.
Yang Tiejiang suddenly shouted, "By the way, Lord Liu, Lord Chen, and Lord Li, who's hiding at the back, the compliments you just said really made me feel like I was bathed in spring breeze. I'll have someone come to your house in person later, and I'll definitely read and study them carefully. Please don't hold back."
The three adults who were named were all the ones who had previously agreed with Wang Hong in the hall. However, they thought that they were standing at the back and Yang Tiejiang probably didn't see them, so they came forward to join in the fun.
But now that their names were called, the three of them changed their expressions.
"My Lord..."
"My Lord..."
"My Lord..."
The three of them subconsciously opened their mouths to explain.
At this moment, a eunuch came running over from the other end of the corridor of the main hall: "My Lord, the Queen Mother invites you."
Seeing Yang Tiejiang and the eunuch leave, everyone finally understood why Yang Tiejiang had been standing at the door like a door god.
So, they are waiting for the Queen Mother to invite them!!
Many people immediately thought of the "relationship" between Yang Tiejiang and the Queen Mother, and couldn't help but feel jealous.
I'm so damn lucky.
How could the Yang family be so lucky? One of them got the emperor's favor, and the other caught the empress dowager's eye.
"From now on, let's stop talking about the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion!"
"Yeah, I can't afford to offend!"
Imperial study.
Emperor Wenyuan threw the portrait in front of Yang Huaijin, his eyes cold and sharp: "Take a good look and make sure whether it is your good sister."
Yang Huaijin picked it up.
He really looked at it carefully, and finally put it on the table with his folded hands: "Your Majesty, this is really not it."
"snort!"
Emperor Wenyuan slammed his hand on the table and shouted angrily, "Don't think I'm as easy to fool as others. Your sister received the imperial edict and went to Yujiang, but it's been almost three months and she's still on the road. Do you really think I'm stupid?"
Upon hearing this, Yang Huaijin quickly bowed and said, "Your Majesty, please calm down."
"I would never dare to fool Your Majesty."
"But your Majesty is right to be angry. I have actually calculated that the journey from the capital to Yujiang will take at most one and a half months if the journey does not stop. If the journey does stop, it will take at most two or three months."
