Chapter 670: Humanity is cold, extreme and double standards
Duke Anguo Fu Peng gently put down the teacup and said, "If my guess is correct...
The morning court sessions these two days should be very interesting.
Yesterday’s morning court must have been very lively!
Those court officials who had ulterior motives would certainly jump up and down, using all their words to try their best to persuade the emperor to abolish the imperial decree granting marriage to Yue'er and His Royal Highness Prince Yu.
However, there was no response from the emperor.
As for today's morning meeting...
Ha ha……
Just by looking at the noble ladies who hastily fled Qingguo Temple, one can imagine... it must have been even more lively.
Those court officials must have been tricked by our emperor, and in the end... they ended up losing more than they gained!
Didn’t the girl in Qingyi just say that they saw at the mountain gate that all the families who came to pick up those noble ladies gave large sums of incense money to Qingguo Temple?
The purpose of their sending their daughter here was to establish a relationship with His Royal Highness Prince Yu;
But it did not bring much piety to Buddha and Bodhisattva.
Today they can be so generous in front of the Buddha...
Haha... just as I said just now... it must be the emperor's work without a doubt.
Qingguo Temple was able to receive a large sum of money for incense offerings, so the Ministry of Revenue must have been very busy for a while before this!
I'm afraid Lord Jian, the Minister of Revenue, must be grinning from ear to ear!
But...
Where there is laughter, there is crying.
Who can blame it?
snort!
In order to covet greater wealth and power, he spends the whole day trying to scheme against and manipulate others;
Now they are plotting against the emperor again!
He actually wanted to interfere in the marriage of His Royal Highness Prince Yu;
Want to become a royal relative through this;
Want to climb higher;
Want to satisfy his greater greed and ambition.
However, they don’t think about whether the current emperor is so easy to control?
Are you willing to be manipulated by others?
what!
If the emperor is so easily coerced, so easily manipulated...
The emperor's harem has already been filled with countless concubines!
Will it still be like now, with only the Queen Mother alone?
Ugh!
Really!
When people are obsessed with money and gain, they lose their memory!"
"Dad is absolutely right!
Our family is away from the court for three days, giving these jumping clowns a chance to dig a hole and bury themselves.
They did not disappoint us.
As for why there is such a big commotion today...
I think it must be because His Royal Highness Prince Yu returned to the capital overnight yesterday and suddenly appeared at the morning court today, thus disrupting their plans;
It also made those people understand that their daughter...or granddaughter's trip to Yunxiang Mountain was in vain!
Not only did I run in vain, I also lost face——
His Royal Highness Prince Yu, who was greedily coveted by them, avoided these so-called noble ladies as if they were snakes, scorpions or the plague!
Their plan failed!
The Emperor's original plan to remain silent for three days ended early due to the sudden return of His Royal Highness Prince Yu to the capital!
Taking advantage of the momentary panic of these court officials, the emperor took direct action and first extorted a large sum of money to fill the national treasury...
Oh, and by the way, I also raised a large sum of money for Qingguo Temple!
First give him a hard beating, then peel off a layer of skin... The emperor is the emperor after all!
I just wonder if these people will learn a lesson from this experience!"
"That's not good!"
Madam Xue, who was sitting next to Anguogong Fu Peng, said at this time: "If people's greed is not eliminated, greed will appear at any time.
Even if they are hurt this time, as long as greed arises again, they will quickly forget the pain and scheme for their greed again.
However, whether they are greedy or ambitious...
Why should we teach our girls to disregard their moral codes and pursue people and things that are out of their reach?
In the end, he lost his reputation, brought disgrace upon himself, and what he could not get was still not obtained.
Why bother coming here? "
"What mom said makes sense!
At the same time, having said that…
It is sad to think about a girl having to deal with several elders in the family who use her as a tool to fight for power and curry favor with the rich and powerful.
If a girl does not know how to respect herself and love herself, and disregards her own shame and blindly pursues so-called wealth and power, then her life will only be more miserable!
For women in this world, they are bound by various etiquettes and rituals from the moment they are born, and it is not easy for them to live.
If I lose my righteousness again and go astray, and then regret it one day... it will be difficult to correct my mistakes... I'm afraid!
Let's talk about these daughters of various families who just left Qingguo Temple...
They were all good ladies from famous families.
Just raise them until they grow up, find them a good home, and take good care of their husband and children.
But I have to...
well! "
When the eldest lady said this, she couldn't help but frown and shake her head.
"If they go back today, I'm afraid they will be hidden away by their families for a while!"
The second wife also shook her head.
"As for discussing their marriage in the future...
I'm afraid this trip to Yunxiang Mountain will become a flaw that they can never erase!
The family backgrounds of these women are almost the same!
Otherwise, we wouldn’t dare to come together to Yunxiang Mountain!
It is said that marriage requires a good match between the two families.
In the future, they will choose a marriage partner who is of equal status.
However, even if these families had daughters who went up Yunxiang Mountain to pursue His Royal Highness Prince Yu this time, they might not be willing to marry their sons to a woman who had also gone up Yunxiang Mountain to pursue His Royal Highness Prince Yu!
This is the coldness, extremism and double standards of human nature!
The future of these women... Alas!
Just for a chance to marry into Prince Yu’s palace...is it worth it?
well! "
The second wife also sighed repeatedly.
