Flatterers and the Emperor (15) Governing the country with small creditors



After getting Gong Chenliang's answer, the old housekeeper turned his gaze to Rong Tingyun: "The prince... is hungry, Miss Rong, the prince has instructed that you rest well in the room and not disturb the emperor's studies."

After hearing this, Rong Tingyun's face turned red, and he threw down his chopsticks, losing his appetite.

The old housekeeper hurriedly explained: "Miss Rong, please don't be angry. The prince has ordered everyone in the mansion not to move around easily. It would be a disturbance to the emperor. Please forgive me, Miss Rong."

The old butler felt that he had done his best for the prince's happiness.

Is there any butler who is more considerate than him?

The old butler couldn't help feeling complacent, and when he saw that both of them had no objections, he retreated.

Gong Chenliang soon went to Fu Renliang. He stayed there for the whole afternoon and learned a lot of knowledge from Fu Renliang that he had never imagined.

He originally thought that before he was ten years old, he was forced by the old emperor to learn the ways of being a king, and he thought he would learn what Fu Renliang taught him quickly.

But he was greatly surprised: Fu Renliang was talking about something he had never heard of before! What about democracy, where the people were the masters of their own affairs? What about the imperial examination system, where everyone in the world studied and the most outstanding officials were selected? What about the tax system, where the capable paid more and the incompetent paid less?

After the class, Gong Chenliang's eyes began to sparkle when he looked at Fu Renliang.

He could imagine that if these things were really issued, there might be great resistance, but it would certainly bring great convenience to the people.

Moreover, his country will become strong and his people will become healthy.

He looked at Fu Renliang with a bright look in his eyes, "Grandmaster, if you had told my father all this earlier, then..."

Gong Chenliang didn't continue speaking, but everyone knew what he wanted to say.

Fu Renliang sighed deeply: "Ah~ Your Majesty, some things are not as simple as they seem!"

Gong Chenliang thought that Fu Renliang was forced by the situation at the time, or that his father really didn't like studying, which led to the situation at the time.

But what he didn't know was that all this was arranged by Luo Junchuan, and all the things Fu Renliang taught him were taught to him by people sent by Luo Junchuan first.

He originally thought that Luo Junchuan wanted to take advantage of the opportunity of letting him teach to brainwash Gong Chenliang, but he didn't expect that after Luo Junchuan taught him a class, he was convinced and never thought about letting Gong Chenliang learn what he knew again.

He had a hunch that if Gong Chenliang really learned all these things, Gong Chenliang would probably become a wise ruler, the Western Hua Kingdom would become stronger, and their monarch would be remembered forever and become a person admired by future generations.

Gong Chenliang didn't know that all this was what Luo Junchuan wanted to teach him, but he thought that this was because Fu Renliang was a royalist and tried his best to make him a wise ruler.

It was already getting dark when Gong Chenliang came out of the study. He and Fu Renliang came out together and met a person who was both expected and unexpected - Luo Junchuan.

Luo Junchuan waited quietly outside, and only came to his senses when he heard their voices: "Is get out of class over?"

Fu Renliang bowed to Luo Junchuan with a sincere heart, "Your Highness, today's lessons have all been completed. Your Highness is a very fast learner. I am glad that I have lived up to your trust."

Luo Junchuan waved his hand: "Since school is over, let's go back quickly. The housekeeper prepared some small gifts for you, remember to take them away."

Fu Renliang was flattered and bowed repeatedly, then left happily.

After Fu Renliang left, only Luo Junchuan and Gong Chenliang were left.

Luo Junchuan looked at Gong Chenliang, who was obviously in much better spirits, and was happy for him from the bottom of his heart.

He threw a set of clothes into Gong Chenliang's arms: "Let's go, you haven't seen what it looks like outside the palace walls! Put on your clothes and I'll take you outside to have a look."

Gong Chenliang got the clothes thrown to him as a result of the counter-conditions. When he put them on, he found out that there was a lot of secrets inside: the clothes looked gray from the outside, like the lowest quality clothes, but they were soft and tight when he put them on.

Gong Chenliang looked at the clothes on Luo Junchuan and felt that they were somewhat similar to his own style.

Luo Junchuan saw that he had changed his clothes and patted his head: "Let's go, little guy, I'll take you out to see the world."

Gong Chenliang immediately became furious when he heard this name: "Hey, who are you calling a brat? You are the brat, your whole family is brats!!!"

The resistance was futile, and the ferocious Gong Chenliang was forcefully pushed by Luo Junchuan towards the small door behind the palace.

Being led by Luo Junchuan through twists and turns in the dark alleys, Gong Chenliang felt that he was about to lose his way.

Could it be that Luo Junchuan wanted to find a deserted place and do something to him?

He's not that inhumane, is he? Although he might have been like that before, he's obviously much better now...

Just as Gong Chenliang was daydreaming, Luo Junchuan took him around a dark corner, and immediately a different scene appeared:

Although it was already nightfall, the street was still brightly lit and filled with laughter.

It turns out that the Chinese Valentine's Day is here.

There is a constant stream of people coming and going on the streets.

Everyone had a smile on their face, and seemed very happy.

This kind of scene was something Gong Chenliang had never seen in the past fifteen years. He couldn't help but stare at it in a trance for a moment.

Luo Junchuan touched his head and said lovingly, "You should go out more often and show more sympathy for the people. Wearing casual clothes will allow you to see more things that you can't normally see. What you normally see may be carefully planned to be presented to you, but when you go out incognito, no one will fool you again."

Gong Chenliang nodded thoughtfully after hearing this. Luo Junchuan touched his head and put a mask on his face: "I know you want to go out and have fun. Have fun. Today you are just you. Don't think too much."

Gong Chenliang said "hmm" softly and ran away.

Only Luo Junchuan was left behind with a doting smile on his face.

Luo Junchuan was born tall and noble, and even the half mask could not hide his charm.

The little girls on the street all looked at Luo Junchuan shyly, and a few brave ones even threw their handkerchiefs at him.

However, Luo Junchuan refused with a smile.

He just smiled faintly, standing in the bustling city, yet he had his own sense of tranquility.

Seeing that Luo Junchuan was unmoved, the girls didn't have the heart to disturb his peace.

They left silently, stood in the distance and spontaneously formed a circle around Luo Junchuan, admiring him with a rosy face.

Gong Chenliang stood behind a willow tree and watched all this. He couldn't help but curse inwardly: "Shameless, attracting bees and butterflies!"
