At that time, Mo Jinyao will be the emperor of the Heavenly Sage, the most honorable person on this continent.
Tao Qian has been here for so many years. Naturally, he will judge the situation. He can understand what Mo Jinyao thinks. Moreover, given the current situation, even if Mo Wenli unites with Xijing, it may not be able to suppress it. Live in Mo Jinyao's army.
Thinking of this, Tao Qian felt that he was not wronged at all by being treated like this.
There is even a sense of respect in my heart, even though the man in front of me is just in his early twenties, he is definitely not someone to be messed with, and it will not end well if he goes against him.
"My Tao family is willing to follow the lord and do my best for the lord!" Tao Qian stood up and bowed to Mo Jinyao.
However, Mo Jinyao didn't strike up a conversation, but looked up and down at the person who had passed middle age and was approaching old age.
Tao Qian didn't dare to speak, but felt that Lord Chen's gaze was as real as it was hitting him, as if he wanted to penetrate his body and see his soul, if it wasn't for his body being tense from the beginning , I'm afraid it's about to fall to the ground now.
He has met many people of all kinds since he was the head of the family, but there is really no one like Mo Jinyao who brings him such pressure at such a young age.
Tao Qian tried his best to maintain the sense of majesty that a patriarch should have, but his slightly trembling forearm betrayed his current mood.
In Tao Qian's heart, it took about ten thousand years for this glance before Mo Jinyao spoke.
"The Tao family has been the mainstay of the court for generations, and this king is naturally happy."
The stone in Tao Qian's heart finally fell to the ground, and a smile crept up his cheeks, "Your Majesty praised him so much, the Tao family must look up to him."
As soon as Patriarch Tao finished speaking, another report came from outside, "My lord, my concubine, the Patriarch of the Kong family is seeking an audience outside."
Hearing this, Tao Qian's complexion suddenly became sour. There is no other reason, but because the Tao family has been officials for generations, and they look down on merchant families like the Kong family.
The two families don't have any deep hatred, and they don't hinder each other, but this is the tradition of the Tao family. Since ancient times, they have looked down on business people, not to mention that the Kong family moved to Linjiang City later, they looked down on them even more.
The same goes for the Kong family, if you look down on me as a businessman, then we also look down on you, a person who can only be an official. Even if you are an official, no matter how big you are, it’s not as rich as our Kong family
Because of this, no one has looked down on the long-term two families, and what the prefect wants to see this week is not the harmonious relationship between the family, but the situation where the family checks and balances each other, and no one can kill the other. , so that Linjiang City can maintain the best balance.
The Patriarch of the Tao family has just arrived, and he has just been involved with Prince Chen. Of course, he doesn't want the Kong family to get involved, but even if he doesn't want people from the Kong family to come in, what he said It doesn't count, it has to be the man in front of him.
But things backfired, Mo Jinyao was going to meet all these patriarchs today, and it would be over once and for all.
"Let him in!"
Sure enough, not long after, the head of the Kong family also came. He was also a man, but he was not an old man in his fifties, but twenty men in his thirties and forties. No one could ignore that businessman's temperament. When Tao Qian saw the Patriarch of the Kong family, his brows were almost knotted.
"The head of the Kong family, Kong Li, pays my respects to the lord... to the concubine." Kong Li is a man of good eyesight. After seeing the woman next to Mo Jinyao, after a little thought, he thought of the woman's identity. I don't know where this woman came from, but she can sit next to the prince and sit on the main seat, and she looks very young, she is probably the concubine.
Even if he didn't find out where the princess was, now that he saw it, it should be called that, and it was always right.
Obviously, Kong Li is smarter than Tao Qian, or this is like a businessman's sense of smell.
Obviously, Mo Jinyao was very useful for this, saying,
"It turns out to be the head of the Kong family, sit down."
Kong Li said thank you and sat down.
"It's really lively today. The heads of the two families have come to visit. Speaking of which, the two families are from the aristocratic families in Linjiang City, so they must be familiar with each other."
The two glanced at each other, and both saw disgust in each other's eyes, but even if they hated each other, they wouldn't say it in front of Mo Jinyao.
Both of them are not fools to be able to achieve the position of Patriarch. His Royal Highness Chen Wang must have checked the relationship between their aristocratic families thoroughly when he entered the city. In this way, he is looking at the attitudes of the two families. Woolen cloth.
Kong Li withdrew his gaze, with a smile on his face, and spoke first,
"Yeah, we are old acquaintances. I didn't expect to have such a fate today to meet His Royal Highness Chen Wang together."
The expression on Mo Jinyao's face was indifferent, neither happy nor unhappy.
At this time, the boy who had just come to report came again.
"My lord, the heads of the Wang family, Li family, Zhang family... are all outside, and I want to ask to see my lord."
The people who came to report had a good memory, and they mentioned the names of many families in succession.
The corner of Mo Jinyao's mouth looked like a smile, but he said.
"Please come in."
Ji Xiaoyao, who was sitting beside him, heard the boy's report and thought, what kind of auspicious day is this? Why did you take this time to come
In fact, today is not an auspicious day, but the rest of the family came to Mo Jinyao's place after knowing that the heads of the Tao family and the Kong family came to Mo Jinyao, and they went in, so their thoughts became more active. Seeing that the heads of the two families have come, can they join in the fun, if they are caught by Lord Chen, wouldn't they be able to reach the sky in one step
Sitting on the seat, Ji Xiaoyao saw the several family heads who came in, all of them were of different ages, but they were all men, and they were all men in their 30s to 70 years old. Everyone said the same thing in their own home It exists, but when it comes to this palace, the dragon can only hold it, and the tiger can lie on its stomach.
Obviously, they all did this, very respectfully, some of them paid homage to the princess, and some really didn't expect that Mo Jinyao would really bring a woman with him, or his princess, that cowardly woman .
I can only meet with him immediately, while talking and apologizing.
Obviously, some of them had the same thoughts as Patriarch Tao, and they never thought that the legendary Yun Ziyue was such a person. This doesn't conform to the rumors outside at all, okay
All of a sudden, from Ji Xiaoyao's perspective, several patriarch-level figures humbly pay respects to their lords, no matter how old they are...
Mo Jinyao didn't make things difficult for them. The reason why he made things difficult for Patriarch Tao was because Patriarch Tao came too early. Mo Jinyao slept on the soft couch for such a long time, and he was just able to sleep with his princess in his arms. , how could you get up so early
Therefore, when the head of the Tao family came, Mo Jinyao was carrying something like the "getting up in the morning" on his body, so of course he wouldn't give him any good looks.
He can't blame others, but himself.
"Patriarchs are polite, please sit down."
All the patriarchs thanked and sat down. After sitting down, some people were looking at the princess next to Mo Jinyao, and secretly marveled in their hearts. How could this woman be different from the rumors? They couldn't associate the two people as one. Alone
Look at the woman sitting in the first place in front of you, even facing so many of their patriarchs, she still looks very calm, and she doesn't even feel nervous at all. Looking at it gives people a sense of grandeur, so I'm afraid there are not many women who can have such courage
Not to mention their daughters, even among their sons and grandchildren, there are not many people with such courage, more or less they will be a little nervous, but the woman in front of her... Could this be from a real big family? Is it the temperament of children
Everyone thought about it a few times in their hearts, but they didn't know that Yun Ziyue's temperament was not cultivated in the big family at all, but she had seen such a scene when she was in the ancient martial arts family in her previous life There are really too many of them, and it has almost become commonplace. If you have never met such a few people in your previous life, you will be nervous or something. The more you live, the worse Yun Ziyue will be.
But these people don't know, now that they think about it, they are all thinking, no wonder the princes don't like the person they presented, if they have such a woman in their family, they also look down on these people.
And although some of the people among them were disgusted with Mo Jinyao from the bottom of their hearts, that is, those who did not agree to Kaesong's surrender at the beginning, but the current situation is like this, they either surrender or die, and obviously they don't want to die.
These few people came for the same purpose, but who is Lord Chen? Even if the emperors of various countries came, he could still play around with them, not to mention that the people sitting below were only the heads of the families.
The few people seemed to have a good conversation with Mo Jinyao, but they couldn't tell if they had any useful information or whether they had reached a certain level of relationship with the prince.
Mo Jinyao's attitude towards them was the same as Zhou Yu'an's attitude towards them, but it was different from Zhou Yu'an, because Mo Jinyao never thought of saving any face for them.
If it's a big deal, I'll tear my skin apart. Lord Chen is never afraid, but they are.
Seeing that everyone has been chatting for a long time, Yun Ziyue has been sitting here for a long time, occasionally saying a few words, and Lord Chen is always gentle, this group of people also know, Lord Chen He loves his princess very much.
I also want to be lucky that the people they sent will disappear without any moths, otherwise they will be useless.
When Mo Jinyao was chatting with these people, he was always watching his little girl's expression, whenever Yun Ziyue frowned, he would be very nervous, but fortunately there was nothing wrong.
But it's been such a long time, the doctor said that a pregnant person can't sit like this all the time, and can't be tired. Obviously, Mo Jinyao remembers it very seriously.
"Everyone, please go back, my concubine is going to rest."
"...???"
The group of people who thought they were having a good chat suddenly had expressions of disbelief. How much does this prince dote on this woman? Tired after sitting for a while
But they only dare to think about it, let them speak out, none of them dare, the character of the prince in front of him is the same as his impression, very cold and emotionless.
There is no other way, everyone can only leave, they have come for such a long time, and they didn't even get a meal at the palace.
…
When Kong Li returned to the Confucian mansion, his eldest son had already greeted him. Although the head of the Kong family looked only thirty or forty years old, he was actually almost fifty, and his The eldest son is in his early twenties.
It looks a little shrewd.
"Father, what's the matter?"
Apparently this son of his cared a lot about it.
Kong Li nodded, but his brows did not relax.
His son also saw that his father was not very happy.
"Father, what happened? Could it be that the person we sent over made a mistake?"
"Heh... If they made a mistake, they would still know whether they were alive or dead, but now, the people who sent them there just disappeared, leaving no trace!"
Hearing this, Kong Qing’s whole person is not very good. How could it be like this? All the beauties they sent over in this Linjiang City were all the most beautiful beauties in Linjiang City. Even he was moved by the sight. And the concubine's young lady in their house, how could it be possible that she disappeared
"Chen Wangye doesn't like it?"
"It's more than not liking?" That's simply disgusting.
Kong Li closed his eyes and said,
"Don't think about putting any beauties over there in the future. Prince Chen already has a concubine, and these people can't catch his eyes."
Kong Qing didn't quite understand what his father meant. Of course he knew that Lord Chen had a concubine, but didn't he say he was a fool? Didn't he say that Lord Chen didn't care about her
"Isn't Yun Ziyue a fool?"
After Kong Qing said this, his father gave him a hard look.
"Don't say such things in the future, or your father won't be able to keep you!"
After warning him, he still told what happened in the palace.
Kong Qing looked at his father, his eyes widened, obviously he was still digesting what his father said, how could Princess Chen be such a person? They sent people away.
"Father, I understand."
Kong Li nodded, satisfied with his son, and continued,
"I met the Patriarch of the Tao family today, that old man came a little earlier than your father and me, what a bad luck!"
"The Patriarch of the Tao family? Humph! That old man has always looked down on us, but he was clever enough to be one step ahead of us..."
