After the vicious adoptive mother gave up, the scumbag children regretted it

Chapter 427: The Love-Brained Princess of Dajin

Tutor Chen was still not convinced and secretly contacted his students and friends, intending to resist to the end. How could it be justified for a woman to be regent?

We must absolutely not allow this bad trend to develop, otherwise women will become arrogant and want to stand in the front and give orders. Then what role will men have?

A woman's duty is to stay at home, take care of her husband and raise children, and be law-abiding. What country do they supervise?

This is a sign of the world’s destruction!

Before he could take action, the atmosphere in the court changed drastically. Prime Minister Dou and others praised the Regent Princess in various ways and fully supported her regent status.

Even the Left Censor-in-Chief of the Inspectorate, who had remained neutral, made a rare statement in favor of the princess serving as regent. This was not normal.

After the court session ended, Chen Taifu stopped the Left Censor-in-Chief Wu and asked, "Wu, did the Regent threaten you? To change your mind?"

Lord Wu said: "Lord Chen, there have been many cases in history where empress dowagers ruled the country from behind the scenes. They were all temporary measures to ensure the stability of the country.

Tell me, what's wrong with the Princess Regent regulating the country?

I changed my mind for the sake of the stability of the court and the country. Otherwise, how could the regent be able to focus on the war?"

Lord Wu could not tell the real reason. The Regent allocated one thousand acres of land to his family. Although it had not been developed, it was tax-free for three years and could be used to grow high-yield crops. This solved his family's urgent needs.

Lord Wu has always been honest. As the Chief Censor, he dared not accept bribes. He was born in a poor family and had no family background, so his family had always been unable to make ends meet.

The son is getting married soon, and the daughter is getting married too. The old wife’s hair has turned white with worry. These one thousand acres of land are enough for their future expenses.

With the deed to a thousand acres of land, his family was able to borrow money from the bank to tide over the difficulties. Lord Wu was upright, but he was also the head of the family and had to make a living.

As far as he knew, the land over there was very popular now. Many old men were buying it secretly, and it was impossible to buy it without connections. That place was essentially controlled by a group headed by Dou Zaifu, and outsiders could not enter.

There are countless hidden benefits to Lord Wu's participation, and the younger generations in the family will also be able to have a smoother career in officialdom in the future.

Therefore, it is only to support the princess to be regent, which is not against the principle. Lord Wu has to support it naturally. He can also do the regent a favor. Why not do it?

Seeing that he was not telling the truth, Chen Taifu was so angry that his face turned red and his neck became thick. "You are unworthy of the late emperor's trust. How can you indulge the regent's nonsense?"

Lord Wu couldn't explain it to him clearly, and it was impossible to persuade a damned ghost with kind words. The world could go on just fine even without Master Chen.

"I have a clear conscience. Lord Chen is willing to go his own way. I have nothing to say, but I have my own decision. We cannot work together if we are on different paths. Lord Chen, please don't stop me. I won't try to dissuade you, and you don't try to dissuade me either. It's fine for us to go our separate ways."

Lord Wu turned around and left, almost making Lord Chen angry. How many benefits did the Regent give him?

He was so angry. Why didn't the Regent come to beg him or win him over?

Chen Taifu was in a dilemma and no one paid any attention to him. The imperial court was preparing for war in an orderly manner, recruiting soldiers, accumulating food and fodder, and reclaiming wasteland for farming. Countless people flocked to the Loess Plateau to develop this new granary.

Some changes are so subtle and silent that you won’t notice them, but suddenly you’ll find that many things around you seem to have changed.

By the time you realize that the times have changed, it is too late to get involved and you have already fallen behind.

Shen Nanzhi was very busy. While Qi Yunxu was not on the expedition, Prime Minister Dou tested her ability to handle government affairs, but was shocked again and again. No matter how difficult the task was, she could always find a breakthrough and give different insights. With such talent, he wanted to give up the position of Prime Minister and let her do it.

Awen has been very busy recently, so Shen Nanzhi would leave unimportant government affairs to him and use him like a secretary. The two of them work together with extremely high efficiency.

When Awen was busy, he ignored his student Wuerli. Wuerli couldn't help it and came to Shen Nanzhi for help.

Only she, a person of idleness, has her mind full of love. Shen Nanzhi and Qi Yunxu have no time to prepare for the wedding, and they have entered the state of an old married couple in advance.

"Sister Nanzhi, are you busy?"

"Ulri, I just need to take a break. What's up?"

Shen Nanzhi drank some tea and took a rest. Everything had been arranged and he didn't need to do it himself, otherwise he would be exhausted.

Chatting with the little girl can also be considered a way to relax.

"I want to ask what Mr. Awen has been doing recently? Has anything happened? He rarely replies to my letters."

"Well, he's been a little busy lately. He'll be fine in two months. Don't worry. He's fine."

Wuerli was relieved. "That's good. I have made great progress recently and read a lot of books. I have many questions I want to discuss with him.

Sister Nanzhi, do you think I can meet him? What kind of person is he? "

Shen Nanzhi was a little hesitant. If pen pals met, there was a high probability that they would fail in public.

"What kind of person do you think he is?"

"He is a gentle scholar, and he must be very elegant. Is he from a certain family?"

Shen Nanzhi sighed: "What if he was just a commoner? Would you still think he was good?"

"Can a commoner be so talented? He has read a lot of books and has a wide range of knowledge. Doesn't he look like a commoner?"

It's not that they look down on common people, but the resources of this era are controlled by the big families. There are many books that common people can't read, so naturally their horizons are different.

Shen Nanzhi said: "Then you have to be mentally prepared. He is not as good as you think. It's good like this now. He will live in your heart and be the perfect gentleman.

If you meet, the beauty will be shattered and your happiness will be gone."

Wuerli also hesitated: "That's right, but I think I'm in love with him, what should I do?"

puff!

Shen Nanzhi spit out the tea, "Is this true? You've fallen in love with someone you haven't even met in person? Your love is too hasty."

"No, I am serious. I am not careless. I like his writing, his thoughts, and his character. As long as he is still single, I want to marry him."

"What if you get married?"

"Then I can be your co-wife."

Shen Nanzhi's face suddenly darkened. "Wuerli, think before you speak. You are a princess, and your mother raised you with great care. Do you think you are worthy of your mother by lowering yourself to a lowly position for a man?"

Wuerli felt wronged: "I just want to be with the person I like, what's wrong with that?"

“There are more important things in the world than love. When you beg for love in such a humble way, you have already lost your self-esteem and self, and you are setting yourself up for failure.

People must love themselves first before they can love others. No man likes a person without a self. Think about it carefully before you talk to me. Don't mention this matter again."
