Chapter 1260: Protective (1)
After Mu Yangling published the article, she saw that the effect was not bad. At least the citizens were no longer as agitated as before, and the Imperial Court did not have to constantly worry that the citizens would cause trouble because of their agitation.
She felt that she had fulfilled her promise to Qi Haoran, so she happily packed her things and brought the children to the farm to avoid the heat and the limelight.
While they were away having fun for three days, the ministers in the court had been arguing for three days. The Emperor and the Crown Prince watched them argue from high above, occasionally taking in some useful opinions.
They were feeling leisurely, but Little Bear was suffering.
Considering no one in the court was younger than him, it was indeed an honor for him to get involved in the political affairs with the Crown Prince.
In addition, he was the heir of King Rong and his rank was not low, so he stood at the front.
Looking at the face that resembled King Rong’s, no one could ignore him. Thinking that this matter was caused by his mother, the ministers inevitably viewed him with some hostility when discussing matters. Every time they made suggestions or refuted the other party’s arguments, they would ask Little Bear in the end, "What do you think, Prince Rong?"
Little Bear was at a loss. ’How could you expect a teenage boy like me to understand a question that you adults can’t answer?’
Nonetheless, he had learned ’The Analects’ before. His mother, too, had repeatedly emphasized that it was wise to hold what you know and admit what you don’t know. Thus, Little Bear honestly shook his head and replied, "I don’t know!"
When the courtiers saw that he answered every question with this answer, they immediately felt that this person was messing with them. Although they didn’t ask him those questions with good intentions, they felt that at his age, he ought to have basic respect for them since they were still his elders after all.
