Beauty and the Bodyguard

Chapter 11243

Xu Guangqi stood up suddenly 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 trained you, a poor scholar who begged for food on the street, into a noble man in the dynasty step by step."

 “That’s all I have to say so that I can do what I want.”

Looking at the back of Xu Guangqi's angrily leaving, 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 ship.

The housekeeper came closer and reported: "That Dongfang Yan has been trained. If the owner of the house 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 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 move him.

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

Especially because the other party is recognized as a moral model by the inner court and has the title of emperor's teacher. Once he launches a counterattack, even the Emperor of Zhou may not be able to bear it.

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

The establishment of a character like a morally perfect man has huge benefits, but once the character begins to collapse, the backlash will be even more deadly.

"it's useless."

Emperor Zhou shook his head and said, "The personal ethics of my tutor are bad, and the higher-ups 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."

 With the current state of the Inner Palace, although it has also been 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 is that he is still in a state before the Internet broke out.

Mainstream media have 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 can always suppress it immediately.

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

Over time, it even gave him a layer of protection.

　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.

 Everything that is wrong 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 an interesting tone: "That's not entirely true, public opinion This kind of thing seems easy to control, but it often gets out of control and is not based on personal will."

 “Tell me more specifically?”

 Zhou Tianzi asked with some expectation.

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 going to make?”

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

 Zhou Tianzi 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.

Zhou Tianzi was stunned: "It's not enough. If this kind of 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."

 Zhou Tianzi was stunned at first, and then the idea suddenly 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, there were still many dignitaries who came to congratulate him.

In this regard, this moral model refused to accept anyone who came, without the slightest 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 for betraying 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 and highlight a confident person.

 The guests and friends were seated, and the atmosphere gradually became warm.

 However, at this moment, the sudden arrival of a person ignited the atmosphere of the whole place in advance.

 Emperor Zhou.

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

 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 is allowed to have the slightest contempt.

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

 “Householder?”

With the butler's repeated reminders, Xiao Mang finally came to his senses and hurriedly stepped forward and bowed to salute: "Your Majesty is here, and I am waiting for you at a distance, but I will die."

 “Teachers 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, his heart felt gloomy.

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