"Such a good girl, it is you, Prime Minister Qin, who are blind and heartless. You have lost such a good girl, you should not regret it." Duke Yang snorted coldly and retorted.
"As for the Qi family, they deserve it! I want to see how good Qi Xiuzhe's life will be after he divorces Qin Wu and marries your daughter."
While saying this, Duke Yang glanced at Qi Xiuzhe with contempt.
Qi Xiuzhe clenched his fists and couldn't utter a word.
Now that he has no official position and the Qi family has been dealt with by the emperor, his reputation is extremely bad. The people present did not directly ridicule him because of Prime Minister Qin.
He held his breath in his heart, and blamed Qin Wu more and more for her vicious plot, which had caused him to fall into such a state of desolation and humiliation.
He will not give up on Qin Wu or the Yang family easily. He will take revenge on those who humiliated him.
"You are unlucky to lose Qin Wu!" Yang Zhanying echoed, not giving Qin Xiang any face, "Let's just wait and see."
The atmosphere was tense and filled with the smell of gunpowder.
It also attracted the attention of people around.
...
...
Qin Wu, who was sitting in the middle, felt amused and helpless.
I am very grateful to Yang Zhanying and Duke Yang for their protection in every way.
However, since the Emperor was here, she couldn't let the quarrel between the two sides break out and make the Emperor unhappy with the Yang family.
"Sister, Duke, I'm fine. Don't make a fool of yourself and upset the emperor because of me quarreling with insignificant people." Qin Wu said in a soothing voice.
"You are too easy to bully, that's why you are bullied by the Qin family again and again." Duke Yang said directly, "Qin Wu is now a member of my Yang family. Anyone who dares to bully her is against my Yang family!"
"If the Qin family doesn't cherish her and protect her, my Yang family will protect her! Even if she is now a divorced woman, our Yang family doesn't mind. Even if we support her, we will not lack her for food."
After hearing this, those who looked down on Qin Wu like Chu Lian no longer dared to say bad things about Qin Wu.
The Qin family is not easy to offend, and Duke Yang is equally difficult to offend.
Lin Jiyuan didn't mind the trouble. He stared at Qin Wu, his ears turning red. He said, "Qin Wu, since you're divorced, if you don't despise me, I'm willing to marry you."
"I can ask the emperor for permission to marry me."
He said this seriously.
When these words were spoken, not only were the people who heard them shocked, even Qin Wu was so shocked that she was unable to react.
Even if she saved Lin Jiyuan's life, she wouldn't ask him to marry her to help her out.
Although divorce has a bad reputation, she doesn't care at all, otherwise she wouldn't want to divorce Qi Xiuzhe.
After all, in this era, married women would rather die in their husband's house than be divorced or have a bad reputation and be criticized.
Qi Xiuzhe stared at Qin Wu and Lin Jiyuan closely, his irritability and anger had reached its peak.
No one could imagine that Qin Wu was already an abandoned woman with a child, why would there still be someone willing to marry her, and the person being sought was Young Master Lin who had just inherited the title of Earl.
Although Young Master Lin has not achieved much, compared to Qin Wu, who can only marry a widower, Young Master Lin is simply the best candidate.
Qin Wu still had a calm expression. She declined politely, "Thank you, Young Master Lin, for your kindness. I saved you because it is my duty as a doctor. You don't have to marry me to repay me."
"Besides, I just got divorced a few days ago, so it's not appropriate to talk about marriage."
Marrying the wrong person will only bring more trouble.
"I don't care that you're a second marriage and have a child. You can consider it." Lin Jiyuan said sincerely, "We can get along first, and then you can consider whether to marry me or not."
Qin Wu is so beautiful. To be honest, if she hadn’t been with Qi Xiuzhe before, many people would like her.
It's not just Lin Jiyuan, many people around him are the same.
Of course, they would sometimes fight with Qin Suhuo, but that was because they were indeed rude and teased Qin Wu. Sometimes when Qin Suhuo heard them, they would have arguments and fights.
Although many people say that Qin Wu is vicious and calculating, he thinks Qin Wu is not bad, much better than a hypocritical and arrogant woman like Qin Yinnuan.
"It's not your turn yet. Someone wants my sister." Yang Zhanying was afraid that Qin Wu would be embarrassed, so she pushed Lin Jiyuan and asked him to go away.
None of the Qin family members looked good.
The emperor's voice sounded at this time, "My dear ministers, after eating this meal, you can express whatever you think. There is no need to be restrained. No matter what you say, I will not punish anyone today..."
After finishing the banquet served by hundreds of families, all the officials talked about how to govern the problems of the people in their respective cities, and naturally they wanted to say something constructive.
This is the process of the Hundred Family Surnames every year.
Of course, this also gives everyone a chance to show off. As long as they speak well and have good ideas and suggestions for solving people's livelihood problems, the emperor will directly promote them to higher positions.
Qin Xiang snorted coldly and sat back in the seat where he had just eaten.
Qin Suhuo and others also returned to their tables.
Everyone quickly returned to their seats, expressed their opinions and discussed the matter.
Civil officials naturally propose ways to govern the people.
As a military officer, of course he hopes to send troops to defeat Southern Xinjiang and Northern Liao, so that the other side will not always provoke the Great Zhou.
After all, Northern Liao and Southern Xinjiang both wanted to annex Great Zhou. Ever since the Eastern Jin Dynasty was destroyed and the cooperation between the four countries ended, Northern Liao and Southern Xinjiang have been in frequent unrest. Only by defeating Northern Xinjiang and Southern Xinjiang can Great Zhou be completely stabilized, allowing the people of Great Zhou to prosper and live a good life.
However, as soon as the military officer's suggestion was made, it was opposed by the civil officials.
The people's livelihood in the Great Zhou Dynasty has not yet recovered, the treasury is empty, and food is still in short supply. Without food and money, how can we march and fight?
Fighting a war costs a lot of military pay and food, and it cannot be ended in a day or two. Even if the army is strong, it will take at least several years to successfully defeat the enemy country.
Whether it would succeed or not is another matter. If it failed, it would not be the enemy country that would be destroyed, but the Great Zhou.
The military officer questioned with disdain, saying that there had not been a formal war for more than ten years, so why was the treasury still in deficit and people's lives still so difficult, with no food reserves? This was all due to improper governance by the civil servants.
At that moment, the civil and military sides began to argue fiercely again.
Especially this year the quarrel has become even more fierce.
Because the peace agreement between Southern Xinjiang and Da Zhou is about to come.
The emperor looked at the arguing civil and military officials, and his originally kind face turned gloomy again.
He wanted everyone to come up with ideas instead of blaming each other and arguing about things that were useless.
"My Lords, the Emperor has something to say!" The eunuch who served the Emperor spoke sharply, interrupting the fierce argument among the ministers present.
The atmosphere in the hall suddenly became silent. Everyone looked at the emperor respectfully, not daring to say anything more.
