Chapter 168
Teacher Li was somewhat gloating, but he still said with some concern:
"That's not a good idea. After all, you just reconciled with those kids."
Her Majesty the Queen opposite was wearing an elaborate dress, and even though she looked impatient, there was a sense of weakness that came from being bullied to the extreme.
——But what he said was not weak at all.
"It's okay to make peace with them, but are these feelings more important than their lives? Although Ou Che and the Queen Mother are a little stupid, they are definitely experts in stealing money and killing people."
Teacher Li was choked when he saw Ye Wangxing's words displayed on the holographic screen.
Although he was used to Ye Wangxing's way of speaking, he was occasionally shocked by Ye Wangxing's straightforwardness.
However, after being stunned for a moment, he began to persuade Ye Wangxing.
——After all, the three brothers of the Wen family have now penetrated into the political center of the empire, which they have achieved with great effort. If they just leave like this, they will end up losing more than they gain.
What's more, the three of them were not as weak as Ye Wangxing thought.
"...Mr. Ye, the three of them are actually quite capable. After all, they have climbed to such a high position at such a young age. The Emperor and the Empress Dowager will not harm these talented people."
Teacher Li tactfully advised them that they were capable and did not need to worry too much.
Ye Wangxing's answer was also very quick, especially the holographic screen he controlled with mind control, which was even faster than Teacher Li's answer.
"——But the empire's top brass are best at eating horse meat hotpot! Haven't they killed enough horses over the years?"
Ye Wangxing frowned and displayed on the holographic screen.
Teacher Li saw that this approach was not feasible, so he changed his approach: "But you have to ask for their opinions. You just reconciled with them not long ago, and suddenly drove them away. Do you still want to maintain a father-son relationship?"
Ye Wangxing hesitated when he heard this, and a melancholy look appeared on his face, but then he became firm and said on the holographic screen:
"It is better for the relationship between father and son to be irreparable than for the other end of the relationship to be connected to a tombstone."
Then he seemed to have realized something, and there was some sadness on his face, which made him look even more pitiful.
"I know that those three guys definitely don't want to leave, but now is not the time for them to be willful. Their identities have been exposed, and with my current identity, they really have to leave the capital planet."
Ye Wangxing's words displayed on the screen became calm and helpless.
"I don't have any real power, and the Queen Mother and Ou Che would not allow me to have any real power. After all, if I had real power, it would be a death warrant. But who could have thought..."
Ye Wangxing smiled bitterly and displayed on the holographic screen:
"These three children are so promising. I never thought they would hold such important positions. If they are not careful, they will lose their lives."
'The nobles and the royal family all want to compete for their support. There are many factions among the nobles, and the royal family is not much better. But whether they support or not, support everyone or not support everyone, there will always be another party that wants their lives to prevent them from being used by the enemy.'
When the holographic screen showed this, Ye Wangxing's emotions obviously fluctuated, and tears began to well up in his eyes.
"This is the only chance I can find for them to escape. Lao Li, please help me persuade them. If it doesn't work, just knock them out and take them away."
Her Majesty the Queen, who was displayed on the communication interface, spoke with tears in her eyes, in a tone as if entrusting an orphan to someone else.
"Whether they can survive or not is up to you."
Teacher Li looked at Ye Wangxing's expression and had no choice but to agree. After all, the despair on Ye Wangxing's face was too strong. However, it was not until he hung up the phone and met the leader's eyes that Teacher Li realized that Ye Wangxing seemed to be setting a trap for him.
——He planned to let him face the three brothers of the Wen family!
The shock on Teacher Li's face was immediately understood by the leader beside him.
The leader stood up and patted Teacher Li on the shoulder, sighed and said, "Admit it. After all, she has been in the position of Queen for so many years and has made so much money. She must be quite capable."
"But the situation is indeed a bit tense right now. If it doesn't work, let them go out and hide for a while until we finish the plan and the person successfully lands on the capital planet."
The leader stroked his chin and thought about it, and then Teacher Li also spoke:
"What shocked me was that he actually played the victim. Although he cursed harshly, he was just a soft persimmon that anyone could bully. He even asked us to help persuade him - could he have known our identities a long time ago?"
As Mr. Li spoke, he looked up in disbelief, and the leader said in surprise: "Didn't you notice? I thought you knew it all along."
"How would I know? I've been worrying about your funding sources in the organization, and I want to spend half of it. People below call me every day asking for funds, so where can I get them for you? The money you earn from tutoring isn't even enough to cover the deficit!"
When Teacher Li saw the leader's surprised expression, he immediately became angry.
The chief did not dare to argue with the chief financial officer. After being scolded a few times, he rushed out of the door at a very fast pace.
Teacher Li calmed down a little, but then he thought something was wrong - the leader seemed to have something to say to him, so why did she leave so fast?
However, just as Teacher Li was thinking of this question, he heard hurried footsteps coming from the door the next second.
"Teacher Li! Do you have any clues about the transfer order sent to our communication? Why did they suddenly ask us to leave the capital planet?"
Looking at the three brothers holding the intelligent computers in front of them, Teacher Li said: …
Chief! Leader! Deserting from the battlefield you traitor!
Even though Teacher Li screamed in his heart, he still had to look concerned on his face as he comforted the three of them.
Teacher Li had never done this kind of work before, so he could only explain the facts to them clearly and then start telling them about the current situation and Ye Wangxing's painstaking efforts for them.
"...In fact, although Mr. Ye is a bit arbitrary, he is indeed concerned about your safety this time. After all, they don't know your true identity. They only know that you are new to the court. In this case, you will definitely not be able to defeat those old guys. Aren't they worried about your safety?"
Teacher Li spoke earnestly and showed them Ye Wangxing's itinerary during this period from the news reports.
"...Mr. Ye's schedule has been quite busy recently, and he has been taken to various banquets. It is probably because of you that he was taken to various banquets as a target for seduction. Even if the Empress Dowager took him to a banquet once, the Emperor would definitely take him to one the next day. Even his true love, Earl Gu Jin, only exchanged glances with him."
"The political situation is indeed very serious, so Mr. Ye is really just thinking this out of pure fatherly love. And the situation is indeed very tense this time. It just so happens that the opportunity has been given to you. It's up to you whether you want to go or not."
Teacher Li's words made a lot of sense, but none of the three silent people in front of him seemed to have listened.
As the eldest brother, Wen Yi looked silent and calm, even his expression did not change much.
...but his tense arms and the big arm muscles that held up his suit sleeves proved that he was extremely angry.
The smile on Wen Jiu's face disappeared. He stared at the news in front of him, not knowing what he was thinking.
Only Wen Shi's reaction was the most reasonable. He looked at the news in front of him, his eyes were red, but the expression on his face was full of anger.
At last he said:
"——So he's planning to abandon us again?"
Wen Shi's voice was very soft, and it was rare for him to speak so softly.
"It's not really abandonment. After all, Mr. Ye's starting point is also for your own good."
Teacher Li said cautiously that he did not tell the three brothers about his contact with Ye Wangxing.
After all, although the eldest and second oldest already knew about it, the third oldest, Wen Shi, did not know about it.
At such a critical moment, it is better not to create trouble with other things.
Teacher Li thought about it and his expression became more cautious.
The three people who heard this just snorted, and a mocking expression appeared on their faces at the same time.
Judging from their expressions, they are definitely three brothers.
Teacher Li was suddenly frightened.
But the strange thing was that the three of them did not get angry on the spot. Instead, they stared at Mr. Ye, who was wearing an elaborate suit and had a reluctant expression, on the news for a long time with sinister looks. Then the three of them looked at each other, realized each other's thoughts, and got up and left.
Teacher Li was a little confused. He didn't know what they were planning to do and a worried expression appeared on his face.
However, what Mr. Li did not expect was that he actually learned most of the subsequent events from tabloids.
One month later.
Teacher Li and the leader looked at the news report in the tabloid, and their faces suddenly took on the expression of an old man on the subway with his cell phone.
Although the tabloid reports are indeed more in line with reality, their wording is really...
It's indescribable.
Teacher Li frowned and flipped open the newspaper. On the first page of the newspaper, there was a headline:
"Mother and son fight, implicate another father and son? --The Queen of the Vase issued a transfer order without authorization, but was rejected by her adopted son. Was she ignorant or was it her emotions that were at work?"
The writer of this newspaper continued his usual style and started by mocking the behavior of the royal family during this period:
"It seems that our Golden Toilet Majesty has finally realized that the queen beside him is not just a real vase, but an SSR who can give him three smart adopted sons. The Queen Mother also seems to have finally opened her eyes that were blurred by power and stared at the queen."
"So, Her Majesty the Queen appeared in every event that the mother and son attended within a month, and judging from Her Majesty the Queen's clothes and decorations, they both tried their best to show their love for Her Majesty the Queen - like foolish hunters trying to lure other prey into the trap by taking care of the prey they had already caught."
"But apparently both of you forgot to ask the prey's opinion."
"...Our dear Queen Vase was tough for her children. She used all her abilities and intelligence to help her three adopted sons get transfer orders to outside the capital planet."
"But unfortunately, those three people completely let him down. They even filed an appeal an hour after receiving the transfer order. It was so fast that the department that issued the transfer order didn't even have time to pack up their afternoon tea."
"It is said that our dear Vase Queen was very angry for a day after learning that her kindness was betrayed. Of course, this may be because she was not scheduled to have any activities that day. After all, she followed the Queen Mother to watch the show the next day."
"Let me digress a little. The styling of the Empress Dowager when she took the Queen to the show was simply disastrous."
"The Queen Mother seemed to want to show her favor for the Queen by putting all her jewelry on the Queen and dressing herself up like a jewelry stand. But it turns out that such a look requires hardware support."
"——For example, a face that looks good even in a sack. But the Queen Mother obviously doesn't have this condition. In order to highlight the relationship between the royal mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, the identical look created suddenly became a control group."
"Honestly, Your Majesty, your forced smile looked much better than when you were sitting there in a serious manner."
After the tabloids made sharp comments on the Queen Mother's appearance, they turned around and started talking about Her Majesty the Queen's adopted son:
"And his adopted sons seemed to want to prove that they were capable of participating in such a complicated political situation. Instead of leaving the capital, they started to cultivate their own careers in the capital."
"They are like children trying to prove something to their father - of course, perhaps a peacock spreading its feathers is a better way to describe them."
"After all, while they were busy with their careers, they did not forget to send a variety of expensive and beautiful bouquets to the palace every day."
The tabloid said in an ambiguous tone:
"In just one month, the logistics network under our respected Viscount Cecil has expanded to an extremely terrifying level. Every remote planet has a logistics transfer point, ensuring that every planet has a transfer station and express company belonging to the empire."
"I think His Majesty the Emperor is so happy that his teeth are almost unable to close. After all, with such a powerful logistics network and an extremely backward supervision system, it is hard to imagine how much kickbacks he can get from it."
"And our dear Captain of the Guard jumped directly from the position of Captain of the Guard to become a member of the Office of the Lord Chamberlain. Although he still needs some experience, this position is enough to show his superb skills."
"After all, as the Lord Chamberlain's Office is directly responsible to the royal family, the people who can enter it must have outstanding personal abilities and a strong family background. Obviously, our former Captain of the Guards has achieved this."
The tabloids described their great achievements during this period, and even mentioned how many colleagues Wen Shi had beaten during this period:
"...Even Colonel Wen Shi, who was in the army, improved the combat effectiveness of many soldiers by beating up 146 people in one day. After such training, the number of people and unmanned weapons under his command also increased significantly."
After writing some innocuous words, the tabloids began to comment sharply on the royal family:
"...In fact, if either Your Majesty or the Queen Mother could get their minds out of the animal law of the jungle, they would find that their current actions have no appeal to those three people at all. Even Her Majesty the Queen herself would wish that her adopted sons would run away."
"But unfortunately, their minds are still as rotten as the books pulled out from the innermost shelf of the Royal Museum, stubborn and fragile."
"But I wonder if the Queen's adopted sons will regret not running away and causing so much trouble for their adopted father after seeing the current situation?"
"But what is certain is that the royal family's persecution of Her Majesty the Queen and her adopted sons will never stop. I can only pray for Her Majesty the Queen and her family."
The tabloid ended there, but the waves it caused were huge, and the Internet was full of sharp comments from the tabloid.
However, the royal spokesman only needed to flick his finger, and with his authority, he could make the topic disappear from the Internet, and soon only the tabloid accounts were stubbornly persisting.
But this time, the royal spokesman felt that this was not an abuse of power, nor was he helping the royal family cover up their scandals.
——After all, after this tabloid was handed over to His Majesty the Emperor, their beloved Majesty blurted out reflexively:
"Who is persecuting whom?"
When he said this, there was still a pile of holographic files on Ou Che's desk. Although he only needed to swipe twice on the holographic screen in front of him and the files to be processed next to it would automatically come over, Ou Che still liked the feeling of this accumulation of things.
After all, this is the only way to prove that he is working hard.
However, what Ou Che did not expect was that this time he was showing off his hard work - but there were too many documents!
The first time Ou Che saw the holographic files piled up to the height of a person, he couldn't believe it. He even suspected that the people below were playing a trick on him, but it was obviously not the case.
These were indeed the documents he needed to deal with, and each one was extremely urgent.
He would have to take a look at the training plan submitted by Wen Shi, as well as the various methods of improving combat effectiveness. After reading them, he would also have to look at the opinions of other generals. After reading them, if possible, he would have to convene a think tank to discuss them, and then he could stamp his approval.
Another adopted son of the Queen named Wen Jiu directly worked his way to the office of the Lord Chamberlain. The documents he submitted had to be reviewed, and after reviewing them, he felt that what he said about the management of the royal family's image made sense, so he had to do it, right? So there was another pile of documents and approvals.
As for the last Viscount Cecil...
Ou Che looked at the holographic file next to him that was almost as tall as a person and sighed painfully. Nearly half of the files were contributed by Viscount Cecil, whom he was very optimistic about.
——Because this person directly expanded the logistics center to the doorsteps of other planets!
The local star commanders and officials who managed their galaxy were all protesting. After all, this had angered the public and affected their income from logistics kickbacks.
Then he, as the emperor, had to mediate and then approve it, after all, he still wanted to keep these planets firmly in his hands. He was not at ease with other people having this power, so he had to take a look at the local situation himself, so there was another pile of documents that needed his signature and seal.
Even with the help of the main brain, he worked for about three days. After finally returning to his bedroom to rest, he had to go to the event again the next morning.
Ou Che's mind was still not well rested, and he was almost putting on a mask of pain.
He really wondered why his life was so miserable? He was obviously an emperor.
Shouldn't he eat, drink and have fun every day, dance with his lover, and only need to take a quick look at the rest to make the right decision?
Why would he get up and attend the event even though he was as tired as a dog, and then smile to the queen whom he disliked very much, without letting the queen's three young and talented adopted sons notice that something was wrong?
But even so, he still had to be stabbed in the back by those three adopted sons with eyes that looked like they were holding knives in their mouths.
He didn't dare to take his eyes off Ye Wangxing the whole time. If he did, who knows what the tabloids would think. He didn't even dare to frown and express his feelings to Gu Jin.
Ou Che once again cried out in pain in his heart. He was obviously an emperor, wasn't he? Why did he have to be restricted even when talking to his lover?
Ou Che was in great pain, and the Queen Mother was not much better. After being commented on by the tabloids about her style, she tried to dress as plainly as possible this time, but...
This is exactly the comfort zone of Ye Wangxing's face.
So now it was even more overshadowed.
Throughout the whole process, the expressions of the royal mother and son were somewhat reluctant.
However, Gu Jin was not unhappy. He still received the guests very politely and did not show any aggression towards others' neglect of him.
After Gu Jin found out what the three adopted sons had done in the past month, he realized that it would be very difficult to bring them down under the current circumstances.
The three of them were very smart and did not immediately get involved in the political situation, but continued to increase their bargaining chips.
Even if there is a risk of assassination, it is still too early. After only one month of fighting, neither the royal family nor the nobles have reached the point where they must kill.
The longer it takes, the more disadvantageous it will be for them, so Gu Jin is not in a hurry, and besides...
He also specially sent his men to the Black Star where they were back then.
——That black star happened to be one of the rebel bases back then.
Gu Jin narrowed his eyes.
No matter how capable they are, once they get involved with the rebels, they're done for.
After all, arresting the rebels is the most important political correctness in the empire nowadays...
Gu Jin thought so, looked at Ye Wangxing, who was wearing a simple suit with a stiff smile on his face, and raised a glass to him from a distance.
After all, this guy is quite pitiful.
He was able to see the situation clearly, and he tried his best to send his adopted sons away, but unfortunately, none of them were willing to leave.
They are even childish enough to want to prove themselves like little kids.
"What a pity! That might be the only chance for the three of them to escape. However, when it comes to being a father, Ye Wangxing is more qualified than Ou Che. At least he has raised his children well and normally..."
Gu Jin shook the wine glass, his thoughts drifting back to his previous life, thinking.
And an hour later.
Looking at Her Majesty the Queen who was being pressed against the wall by her adopted son, unable to even scream, with her face flushed red.
Gu Jin: “…”
"...What a ghost."
