Beauty and the Bodyguard

Xu Guangqi suddenly stood up and said in a serious tone: "No matter how many benefits the King of Qin promises you, if Brother Xiao still has a sliver of conscience, you might as well think about how the late emperor raised you, a poor scholar who begged for food on the street, to become the third prince of the dynasty step by step."

"That's all I have to say, so you can do what you want."

Looking at Xu Guangqi's angrily leaving figure, Xiao Mang's eyes were dark.

There was no guilt in his eyes, only silent ridicule and condescending disdain.

He is a moral model, but no one has ever said that a moral model will never jump off the ship.

The housekeeper came closer and reported: "That Dongfang Yan has been trained. If the owner is interested, he can take it over at any time."

Xiao Mang's eyes lit up and he immediately became excited: "Okay, let's do it tomorrow. Beautiful women are rare. Let's hold a wedding ceremony for her. Don't say that I don't value her."

"Yes, I will go down and make arrangements right away."

The housekeeper hesitated for a moment, and then asked: "Lin Yi should have reacted, but there is still no movement. Do you want to give him a hint?"

Xiao Mang tapped his fingers on the table, thought for a while and said, "Let's wait for two more days. The incident with Dongfang Yan will be too exciting for him. Give the young man some space and be considerate."

"The master of the house is kind."

…

Xu Guangqi returned without success, and Emperor Zhou smashed the table as expected.

"Master, Master, you are the one who forced me to do this!"

Zhou Tianzi gritted his teeth, but after venting his anger, he quickly calmed down and looked at Lin Yi who was waiting aside: "What do you think?"

Although Xiao Mang is not as good as the Seven Kings, it is not that easy to touch him.

With the power Zhou Tianzi has at his disposal, even if they are all activated, they may not be able to kill the opponent in one wave.

Especially since the other party is recognized as a moral model by the Inner Court and has the title of Emperor's Master. Once he launches a counterattack, even the Emperor of Zhou may not be able to bear it.

Lin Yi was well prepared for this: "Since he is a moral model, let's start with personal morality."

There are huge benefits to establishing a character like a morally perfect man, but once the character begins to collapse, the backlash will be even more deadly.

"it's useless."

However, Emperor Zhou shook his head: "The personal ethics of my tutor are lacking, and the senior officials in the court are well aware of it. Many people used this point to attack him in the past, but in the end they were all calm."

Lin Yi reacted immediately: "Because the public opinion machine is in his hands."

Although the current state of the Inner Court is also penetrated by technological products from the secular world, overall, the degree of penetration is not as good as that of the Kingdom of God on land.

The overall feeling given to Lin Yi was that he was still in the same state before the Internet broke out.

The mainstream media has a huge influence on the people at the bottom, and these official institutions are all under the jurisdiction of Taifu Xiao Mang.

In other words, Xiao Mang holds the mouthpiece of the entire inner court.

No matter how others attack him, even if it is true, they will always suppress it immediately.

If you turn your head, you can even activate the public opinion machine and rake it backwards, thus completely muddying the water, and the people will naturally be fooled.

As time went by, it even gave him a layer of protective color.

Today's people have formed a habit of thinking. Any news that is unfavorable to Xiao Mang is just someone with ulterior motives pouring dirty water on him.

No matter what, our Grand Tutor is a moral model and will never do any bad things.

Whenever there is a mistake, it is someone else's fault.

"Opinion machine?"

Zhou Tianzi was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said: "This word is quite appropriate. The biggest problem now is this. The public opinion machine is all in his hands, and we are very passive."

Lin Yi said with interest: "That's not necessarily the case. Public opinion seems to be easy to control, but it often gets out of control and is not based on personal will."

"Tell me more specifically?"

Emperor Zhou asked with some anticipation.

Lin Yi explained: "Every machine has its performance upper limit. Once the upper limit is exceeded, it will completely lose control. The same is true for public opinion machines. As long as the news we create is explosive enough, its own dissemination power will exceed Mr. Xiao’s control is at its limit, and it will only take a moment for the ship to capsize.”

Zhou Tianzi's eyes lit up when he heard this: "Then what kind of news are you planning to make?"

Lin Yi showed a strange expression: "I heard that Mr. Xiao is taking a concubine again."

Emperor Zhou also looked strange: "This year is already the thirteenth, and the woman he wants to marry this time is still related to you."

"Isn't this ready-made breaking news?"

Lin Yi said quietly.

Emperor Zhou was stunned: "It's not enough. If such a thing could bring down the Taifu, he would have been ruined long ago."

Lin Yi said meaningfully: "It didn't work before because things weren't dramatic enough. If we want the general public to accept it, we have to make it popular first."

Emperor Zhou was stunned for a moment, then suddenly the idea came to his mind: "It's interesting."

The next day, Taifu's Mansion.

The house is decorated with lanterns and colors, which is extremely gorgeous.

Although Xiao Mang did not invite many guests and friends, many dignitaries came to congratulate him.

In this regard, this moral model refused to accept anyone who came without any psychological burden.

The people who came to the scene were all his own people, and they all had a community of interests, and there was no motive to betray him at all.

Secondly, even if someone with ulterior motives sneaks in and spreads today's scene, he has rich experience in suppressing it, and can even deceive a wave of people's sympathy in return, highlighting a confident person.

As guests and friends took their seats, the atmosphere gradually became warm.

However, at this moment, a person's sudden arrival directly ignited the atmosphere in the room in advance.

Emperor Zhou.

Xiao Mang's eyelids suddenly jumped when he saw Emperor Zhou walking in from the gate.

Everyone else was shocked and hurriedly stepped forward to kneel down to greet him.

The puppet emperor is also a serious emperor. He is the nominal first person in the inner court. At least on the surface, no one should be disrespectful in the slightest.

What's more, the ones who can really hold down the Emperor Zhou are the top princes like the Seven Kings. The weight of these people present is not enough.

"Master?"

After the butler reminded him repeatedly, Xiao Mang finally came to his senses and hurriedly stepped forward and bowed to salute: "Your Majesty is here to greet you. If I am not welcomed from afar, I will die."

"Teacher, you don't have to be polite."

Zhou Tianzi smiled and helped him up, and said softly: "I am here today in a private capacity to congratulate the teacher on his wedding. It is so sudden. I hope the teacher will not be surprised."

Xiao Mang looked ashamed: "Some trivial matters are really not worth alarming Your Majesty. I feel ashamed."

As he said this, there was a haze in his heart.

If Emperor Zhou had come suddenly like this before the Wu Wudi incident, he might have felt that he was really here to congratulate him privately.
