Joy of Life: I dressed as a woman and became the Queen of Northern Qi!

Chapter 264: How to achieve both loyalty and filial piety, Zhan Doudou is dissatisfied with Chen Luo?

"I'm sure the Queen knows that my father is my adoptive father, who raised and taught me. Without my adoptive father, there would be no Uesugi Tiger today!"

"My father was murdered by the thieves of Qing State in his early years. He was held captive in Qing State for so many years and suffered a lot. Fortunately, it was the Queen who rescued my father and brought him back to Northern Qi!"

"I originally wanted my father to live out his days in peace, but he didn't want that. He still wanted to serve Northern Qi and avenge the hatred he had in the past!"

"I know that Your Majesty does not trust my father, but my father is truly capable. I can also guarantee with my life that my father is absolutely loyal to Northern Qi and Your Majesty, and will never betray me!"

"I hope that Your Majesty will be merciful and meet my father, and then decide whether to use him!"

Having said that, Uesugi Tora knelt down on the ground again and kowtowed to Chen Luo without any hesitation.

His voice was serious yet helpless. If he had a choice, he definitely wouldn't want to do this.

What he said now was equivalent to forcing Chen Luo to meet Sean!

This is bound to anger Chen Luo and even shake his position in Chen Luo's heart!
But when he thought of Sean's instructions, he couldn't bear it!

His life was given by Sean, and he must return it!

Moreover, Sean is really capable. If Sean is allowed to live out his life in peace, it will be a huge loss for both Northern Qi and the Queen!
It is difficult to be both loyal and filial, but there is a way to achieve both. It just depends on whether you can succeed!

As long as Chen Luo can make Sean trust him, he will definitely give Sean an official position, let Sean take power, and fulfill his filial piety!

Correspondingly, as long as he can guarantee Sean's loyalty to Northern Qi and Chen Luo, then his loyalty will be fulfilled!
In this way, loyalty and filial piety can be achieved at the same time!

"Oh? General Uesugi Tora is willing to use his life as a guarantee. It seems he is really sincere!"

"In that case, let Sean meet you!"

"I just happen to have something I want to ask him!"

Chen Luo sat down without changing his expression, picked up the tea cup beside him and started to sit calmly.

Wisps of hot steam rose from the teacup, just covering half of his face and his smiling eyes.

All of Uesugi Tora's actions were within his expectations!
Now he is more satisfied with Uesugi Tiger!
Those in power are not afraid of having a fierce tiger under their hands, but they are afraid that the tiger has no weaknesses and does not value feelings!
Only a tiger with soft spots and emotions can be a valuable tiger!

If the tiger has no emotions and weaknesses, then no matter how ferocious or useful it is, it must not be kept!
"Thank you for your kindness, Madam!"

"My father is waiting outside Ganlu Palace. I will go and call him right away!"

Uesugi Tora expressed his gratitude excitedly, and after seeing Chen Luo nod, he stood up swiftly and walked out of the hall.

Originally, he thought that Chen Luo would be angry and would scold him for being ungrateful, and would use this opportunity to suppress his excessive reputation and power, or even take the opportunity to seize military power.

That would be the worst outcome, and he felt it was the most likely outcome. The best outcome might be that Chen Luo would give him a beating in displeasure, and then approach Sean and reject his request to be an official.

He thought of many possibilities, but he didn't expect Chen Luo to be so calm, not even angry.

However, he did not think that Chen Luo was easy to talk to because of this incident. The last people who felt this way were the elders of the royal family!
Now, the graves of those elders, and even the entire royal family, are all covered with weeds. Every day, people go to them and curse them. They cannot rest in peace even after death!
Because of this incident, Chen Luo and Zhan Doudou gained higher reputations and the people became more united!
When a scandal occurs in the royal family, the emperor and the empress will inevitably be implicated, but Chen Luo only spreads some public opinion and makes the people feel that Zhan Doudou and Chen Luo are sacrificing their own relatives for the sake of justice!
There will be no leniency just because the person who made the mistake is a member of the royal family!
It truly means that when the emperor breaks the law, he is subject to the same punishment as the common people!
This is also the reason why the people trust Chen Luo and Zhan Doudou more!
In this matter, which attracted widespread criticism, Chen Luo only guided public opinion and the result was turned upside down!

Not only did it get rid of the restless royal family members, it also enhanced his reputation and united the people!

His scheming and wisdom are so profound that it is simply unbelievable!
Even if Chen Luo looked like he was easy to talk to now, he would not, and would not dare to, think that Chen Luo was really easy to talk to!

Otherwise, the fate of the royal family will be his fate!

Thinking of this, Uesugi Tora shuddered subconsciously, and realized belatedly that the audience with the dead counselor Sean might not be a good thing!
He can guarantee that he will not betray Northern Qi and will be extremely loyal to Chen Luo, but he cannot guarantee that Sean will do the same!
If Sean does something wrong one day, he will definitely be implicated, and then...

Uesugi Tora shook his head and murmured bitterly: "I hope my foster father can see these things clearly, otherwise I'm afraid we will be despised by the people after we die!"

······
Northern Qi Imperial Palace, Shangshufang.

Zhan Doudou, who had just finished court, wanted to return to the Pepper Palace and take another nap with the sweet and soft Chen Luo in her arms. However, she was blocked by Shang Yang and Wang Xu as soon as she finished court.

Faced with these two great sages recruited by Chen Luo, she couldn't say no, mainly because she knew that these two people must have something to discuss with her.

The biggest possibility is reform!
Although she was so sleepy that her eyelids were fighting, she still summoned the two men.

As soon as she entered the Shangshufang, she yawned and said listlessly: "Prime Minister Wang, Prime Minister Shang, if you have anything to discuss, you can go to Luo'er to discuss it. It will be the same if you tell me after you have discussed it."

She was not angry, she felt that Chen Luo had taken away her rights, she was just making suggestions sincerely.

Because she really knows nothing about the reform!
Instead of spending time listening to their reports, it would be better to go back and hug Chen Luo and sleep for a while!
Power is indeed attractive. Once people have control over it, they don’t want to let go. She is no exception!

But no matter how attractive power is, it is not as tempting as Chen Luo!
If she had to choose, she would choose Chen Luo without hesitation. She would not even give a second thought to the imperial power or not!
If you love the country but not the beauty, it only means that the beauty is not beautiful enough!
And she believed in Chen Luo, there was no difference between the power in her hands and in Chen Luo's hands!

It's just different in name!

She even thought, how great it would be if Chen Luo could become the emperor and she could become the queen!
He has the same rights, but he doesn't have to get up early to attend court, review those messy memorials, listen to those ministers' chatter, and then report a trivial matter!
"Your Majesty, are you dissatisfied? To be honest, the two of us came here because the Empress asked us to discuss the reform with Your Majesty after the court session!"

"The Queen wants to give power to Your Majesty, and she is sincere to Your Majesty. I hope Your Majesty will not listen to the slander and wrongly blame the Queen, which will lead to an irreparable mistake!"

Shang Yang had a gloomy face, and bowed his hands. Although his words were questions, his tone was affirmative, and there was even a hint of reprimand at the end.

Wang Xu also frowned and looked at Zhan Doudou with some displeasure.

As people summoned by Chen Luo, they are extremely loyal to Chen Luo, and to Zhan Doudou... They love Zhan Doudou as well and are willing to obey some of Zhan Doudou's orders, of course, that is under Chen Luo's instruction!
