Add to that Yang Guofu's outstanding acting skills, and the scene where even though he has only one eye, his face is red and he seems to be shedding tears.
This made many students present deeply moved, and many of them even wiped away tears secretly.
Especially in this anti-gangster and anti-evil campaign, Yang Guofu kept talking about how the people were after this incident, and what happened when the Queen asked about it.
In short, one thing is clear: the Queen works hard for the people, which is really good!
Ever since.
The second half of the Banquet of Grace became a performance entirely by Yang Guofu.
Officials like Mu Xu and Su Wenqing didn't know what to say after seeing Yang Guofu's outstanding acting skills, and just remained silent.
Even Yan Jingqing, in order to cooperate with Yang Guofu, simply followed Yang Guofu's example and put some wine in his eyes to make himself cry.
Yang Guofu and Yan Jingqing could not be trusted, but some other officials who were unaware of the situation looked shocked, worried and sad, and the students saw it all.
Come and go
So when the show ended, everyone had a sad look on their faces.
And
These people wanted to spread the news quickly; they could not let the Empress do such good things for the people without anyone knowing.
Xia Yaomo also had a sad look on his face, because he didn't expect that his sister-in-law had paid so much.
He felt somewhat guilty, thinking that he was so focused on finding a lover that he didn't even ask about his sister-in-law's health today.
Damn me! !
Xia Yaomo frowned and thought so in his heart!
"Your Highness the Crown Prince." But just when Xia Yaomo hated himself for being useless, Yang Guofu walked up to Xia Yaomo.
Chapter 237: Your Majesty and the Queen, both are powerful people
Xia Yaomo, who was standing at the entrance of the restaurant, saw Yang Guofu and immediately bowed and said, "Master Yang."
Xia Yaomo was greatly influenced by his father, so he didn't care much about the affairs of the court.
But not caring does not mean not knowing. According to his father, King An, 'You can not ask, say or do anything, but you must not not know, think or worry.'
So Xia Yaomo listened to his father, the king, and his mother talking about the current situation in the capital along the way, and he also knew something about the Yang family's affairs.
but.
Yang Guofu's behavior today surprised him a little. He felt that this Lord Yang was so good at flattering.
But this does not mean that he will feel close to Yang Guofu. He still thinks that the one-eyed fat man in front of him is the one-eyed pig in his father's mouth. However, after experiencing tonight, he gave Yang Guofu another label: Flatterer Yang.
Yang Guofu looked at Xia Yaomo and immediately became terrified. He quickly saluted and said, "How can your Highness salute me like this? I am just a doctor in the Ministry of Works. I can't bear this responsibility. I can't bear this responsibility."
Xia Yaomo was confused for a moment.
But before Xia Yaomo could speak.
Yang Guofu smiled and said, "Your Highness, what I said today is from the bottom of my heart, and the campaign to eradicate gangsters and evildoers is still in full swing, but there are too many people involved, so the progress may be a little slow. Please inform the Queen and His Majesty, but please rest assured!"
At this point, Yang Guofu said with a righteous look on his face: "It is urgent to eliminate gangs and evil. After these days, I have come into contact with them and found out that there are so many dirty things under the feet of our Great Xia Emperor! Therefore, I will do my best to eradicate these evil things in the capital before your Majesty and your Majesty's wedding day! In the name of your Majesty and your Majesty, I will return peace to the people and let the barbarians who have presented tributes to the court see how kind and virtuous our Great Xia Emperor and Queen are."
At the end, Yang Guofu bowed to Xia Yaomo again, then smiled and said, "In that case, I have nothing else to do, so I'll take my leave first. But Your Highness, has Prince An also come to the capital? Prince An and I used to study under the late Master Yu, so we were classmates. We haven't seen each other for more than ten years, so I should have a banquet in the mansion, but I'm really busy with the errands entrusted by the queen, so I'm afraid I can only postpone it. But please tell me your gratitude, and I can count it as owing Prince An this banquet."
Xia Yaomo immediately said, "Thank you Sir Yang for your kindness, but my father and mother will not be able to enter the capital for a few days. When they arrive, I will inform Sir Yang of your kindness."
Hearing this, Yang Guofu understood more clearly, and then bowed with a smile: "Then I will take my leave first. I have to go back to Jingzhao Prefecture to continue the interrogation."
Xia Yaomo immediately said, "Goodbye, Sir Yang."
Yang Guofu smiled slightly, bowed slightly, turned around and walked towards the carriage that Yang Shanchang had just gotten into.
But in fact, Yang Guofu had a jade pendant in his sleeve, and he was thinking of giving it to Xia Yaomo, but when it really came in front of him, he felt that he could not give it to her, and he could not make any unnecessary moves!
Otherwise, if Xia Yaomo caught him at the end, wouldn't his flattery be in vain? The wine he poured into his eyes was also in vain, as his eyes still feel a little uncomfortable!
but
Looking at Yang Guofu's back, Xia Yaomo frowned, thinking that this man was quite strange. He suddenly said a lot of inexplicable words.
You also want me to tell my sister and the emperor's sister-in-law, can't you just tell them in person? Why do you want me to tell you?
But after thinking about it, Xia Yaomo decided to write it down first and not tell anyone about it. What if Yang Guofu had any intentions? He would wait until his father came and tell his father before making a decision. This would prevent him from getting involved in any trouble with Yang's party.
Mu Xu ran out at this time and came close to Xia Yaomo: "Your Highness, it's a nice night tonight."
Xia Yaomo was surprised, then thought that Mu Xu was talking about the Banquet of Grace, so he nodded: "Yeah, it's good."
After hearing this, Mu Xu glanced at Yang Guofu's back and thought that it was quite true. The flattery was incredible!
So he bowed to Xia Yaomo.
Xia Yaomo looked at Mu Xu and was a little surprised why the Lord Chief Priest suddenly asked him this question.
"Yao Mo." Just when Xia Yaomo was thinking this in his heart, he heard the voice again.
Looking back, I saw it was Old Master Su, Su Zimu, and Su Linhan.
Xia Yaomo immediately bowed and said, "Grand Master, Lord Su, Miss Linhan."
Su Wenqing smiled and said, "Your father and I are old acquaintances. There's no need to be so formal. Would you like to leave with me in a carriage?"
Before Xia Yaomo could say anything, Su Wenqing grabbed Xia Yaomo and said, "Let's go. The old man is going back alone. Your uncle Su has to go to the government office to work, and Miss Linhan is going to have a small gathering with her friends. It will be lonely for an old man like me to go back alone, and I also have something I want to ask you."
Without giving Xia Yaomo any chance to refuse, Su Wenqing had already pulled Xia Yaomo to the side of the carriage that was already approaching.
Xia Yaomo actually wanted to say that he wanted to go back alone, to see if there was anything fun on the way, or to see if he could meet the girl he liked. After all, the Queen's sister-in-law said today, "Walk more and see more, you never know when you might meet love around the corner."
But looking at Su Wenqing's appearance, Xia Yaomo felt a little depressed, but he had no choice but to get on the carriage.
Seeing Xia Yaomo being put into the carriage by Su Wenqing, Mu Xu smiled slightly, then hunched over with his hands behind his back, and walked towards the street without getting in the carriage.
Beside him were Yan Shu, Lu Xiufu and Xun Kuang.
But Mu Xu suddenly remembered something, turned around and looked at Yan Shu and asked, "Yan Shu."
Yan Shu immediately bowed and said, "Dean."
Mu Xu smiled and said, "See everything that happened tonight."
Yan Shu nodded: "Yes."
Mu Xu smiled and said, "Was it exciting tonight?"
Yan Shu was stunned for a moment, then thought for a while and said, "Dean, I dare not speak nonsense before I join the game."
Mu Xu smiled and said nothing more, but looked at Lu Xiufeng.
Looking at this young man who has a Confucian temperament but a resolute face and a warrior temperament, he laughed and scolded: "If I ask you to come to the Grace Feast tonight and read less military books, will it cost you your life?"
Lu Xiufu smiled bitterly and said, "Dean, I didn't say anything."
Mu Xu was too lazy to pay attention to Lu Xiufu, and instead said, "Xiufu's path is completely different from yours, but in the final analysis, you still have to be an official of Daxia. Your Majesty has the final say on how you two perform in the palace examination. What kind of official you can be and what kind of official you want to be in the future is up to you to decide, not me. But remember, everything in the officialdom is regulated, how the seats are arranged, who sits where, who speaks first, and who says what, all of them are inseparable from the word normal. But if someone's seat is moved a little, or the order in which someone speaks is changed, it means that there is a change."
After hearing this, Yan Shu and Lu Xiufu bowed immediately and then thought about it carefully.
Mu Xu smiled and said, "You two fools, go home tonight and think carefully about everything that old man Su Wenqing said to me tonight, as well as what Yang Shanchang and Yang Guofu did and said, especially why Yang Guofu acted like that. Think more about it. This feast of grace is your first lesson in the officialdom. If you think it through, you will live comfortably in the future. If you don't, you will suffer in the future."
This time, not only Yan Shu and Lu Xiufu, but also Xun Kuang paid their respects.
Looking at Xun Kuang, Mu Xu scolded, "Take the students and have fun! They have all passed the exam, and you, as the Dean, have to spend money. You should have more fun tonight, and you can rest assured after you have had enough. Then, regarding the wedding gift for His Majesty and the Empress, our Imperial College has to prepare something. There are rules for this, and we can't delay it. In a blink of an eye, the Empress will return to the Su Mansion to start the ceremony. Seriously speaking, the moment the Empress returns to the Su Mansion, the wedding will be considered to have begun."
Xun Kuang nodded and said, "We are already working on it, but we have to wait for Lord Yan Ciyan to come back and confirm whether the medical school will be incorporated into the Imperial College or become a separate institute, otherwise it will be difficult to write on the list."
Mu Xu nodded: "Okay, stop following me, go play, I'm going to stroll home."
After saying this, Mu Xu waved his hand, put his hands behind his back, and walked away staggeringly.
Xun Kuang and others bowed and saw him off.
but
Mu Xu looked at the carriage leaving his side, especially when he saw the word "Yang" on the carriage, the old man smiled. He thought that Yang Guofu had been scared enough tonight. After all, Zhao Yulang had been like that, how could he not be scared enough.
Inside the Yang family carriage.
Yang Guofu naturally saw Mu Xu, but he didn't say much. Instead, he looked at Yang Shanchang and said, "Dad, Prince An was just taken to the carriage by Su Wenqing."
Yang Shanchang just said "hmm" and said nothing.
Yang Guofu looked at Yang Shanchang and continued, "Prince An and his men haven't arrived yet, which means Xia Yaomo has arrived in Beijing in advance. I think it should be His Majesty."
When he said this, Yang Guofu saw Yang Shanchang open his eyes, so he stopped talking and just looked at his father.
Yang Shanchang said, "How is the preparation for the wedding gift between His Majesty and His Majesty going?"
Hearing his father's words being completely different from his own, he was a little stunned, but still said respectfully: "I'm still looking, but I've found some rare items. I wanted to select them, but after thinking about it, I decided to send them all at once. But I'm not sure about the details, especially since the Queen will be returning to the Su Mansion at the end of the month. We will also send some things then. You should choose what to send, Dad."
Yang Shanchang looked at Yang Guofu: "Guofu~~"
When Yang Guofu heard this, he immediately said, "My son is here."
Yang Shanchang's eyes flashed with a light that was usually hidden. He looked at Yang Guofu and asked, "You, are you hiding something from me?"
Upon hearing this, Yang Guofu was stunned and asked, "Dad, what are you talking about? What can your son hide from you?"
Yang Shanchang stared at Yang Guofu, his eyes as sharp as an eagle: "Brothers fight together to fight tigers, fathers and sons fight together in battle, but we must first make our own people proud!"
Yang Guofu was surprised, but immediately understood the meaning of these words and immediately became anxious: "Dad! Your son really has nothing to hide from you!"
Yang Shanchang stared at Yang Guofu, "Then tell me, why did His Majesty and the Queen send Xia Yaomo to keep an eye on you? And why did they send a child who looked so inconspicuous to keep an eye on you? Yu Lang secretly saved many officials who gave him money, but His Majesty and the Queen came to him and set up a trap for him. Did you do the same thing?"
Yang Guofu was completely anxious, and immediately said, "Dad! I really didn't do that, and with Luo Anxu next to me, how dare I do it! What's more, I did it before, but it was all discovered by His Majesty and the Queen Mother. I almost lost my official hat. How dare I do it? You know how many people I killed this time and how much money I lost. Now when my name Yang Guofu is mentioned, many people who followed us in the past have started to scold me."
"And my son is also wondering why I did a good job in this matter and lost weight because of it, but His Majesty and the Queen are still not satisfied."
Seeing Yang Guofu like this, Yang Shanchang's eyes softened: "Sit down and talk."
Yang Guofu pursed his lips and sat back down.
Yang Shanchang sighed, "The clouds are in the sky and the water is in the bottle. Your Majesty said that some of us are clouds and some are water, each with their own duties. But Your Majesty didn't say who the blue sky is. Clouds and water, can they both hide from the sky? You'd better not hide anything, otherwise no one can save you, and no one can save our Yang family."
Yang Guofu knew that his father did not completely believe in him, and he was a little anxious, but he knew that no matter how he explained, he could not make it clear, so he could only nod. However, he was still wondering in his heart why His Majesty and the Queen sent Xia Yaomo to cause trouble for him. It couldn't be that they just came to him because they thought of it.
