Aoto had never seen a drastic change in emotion on Tokugawa Iemo's face.

There is always a calm expression on his young face.

However, Tokugawa Iemo, who had such good personal qualities, did not hide his inner disgust at this time.

A hint of impatience, carelessness, hung naked between Tokugawa Iemo's eyebrows.

This is evident from Tokugawa Iemo’s views on the political opinions of these Confucian scholars.

This is normal.

Not to mention a monarch like Tokugawa Iemo, who had a broad vision, was enterprising, and had opened his eyes to the world a long time ago. No human being with normal IQ and vision would have a favorable impression of the arguments just mentioned by that group of Confucian scholars.

Restoring the well-field system; resisting Western learning and respecting Confucianism alone...the governance ideas of this group of people are more and more outrageous.

Qingto originally thought that making Tokugawa Iemo unhappy would be the limit of this group of people.

Who would have thought that Qingdeng's lower limit of imagination would be broken unexpectedly by the sudden and brand-new violent comments made by these guys.

After everyone's continuous praise of the strong man subsided for a while, a short man with acne on his face stood up:

"Everyone! Let me tell you, it is also extremely outrageous for Lord Dashu to rely on the Great Imperial Office and often seek advice from the Great Imperial Office."

Now when it comes to the person this person is talking about - Ootaishuo, Tianzhangyuan's expression changes.

"How can it be appropriate for a woman to be involved in politics if she is ignorant of emotions and inconsistent with reason? Da Yutai comes from a womanly family. Does she know what it means to govern a country? Has she ever studied the books of saints?"

"Dashugong relies on the Great Imperial Palace... What? Is this because he wants to imitate Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty, and also wants to create a second sage in our country, and also wants to create a Wu Zetian?"

Aizhizi succeeded in single-handedly changing the topic from "Criticizing Tokugawa Iemo" to "Criticizing Tenshouin".

"Yes! Well said!"

"The Odaisho does not practice women's ethics. When the previous shogun was in power, he did not give birth to a son or a half to continue the bloodline of the Tokugawa family, so that's it! He actually shamelessly discussed the affairs of the country and participated in the shogunate!"

"If the Odaisho really wants to do good for this country and contribute to the future of the shogunate, then it should immediately stop interfering in the shogunate! Concentrate on governing Ooku for Mr. Oju! Never show up in front of the public again!

"

In the midst of this chaos, a slight sob gradually sounded.

It was an ugly guy with a humanoid appearance.

The ugly man covered his face, his thin and narrow shoulders trembling slightly under his clothes embroidered with family patterns. He cried and said:

"Alas! There is no way to serve the country! There is nowhere to display your literary and martial arts. What a pity!"

These few words hit the mark on the mood of many people here at this moment.

For a while, the sound of sobbing and howling sounded one after another.

"I was born at the wrong time!"

"It's a pity that I have this ability..."

At this moment, an impatient and anxious voice suddenly spread throughout the tea house.

"Why are you crying? What's the point of imitating the "Crying of the New Pavilion" here? The country is in danger, and we should work together to stab the beams! How can we act like prisoners of Chu facing each other? How can we act like sons and daughters!"

Qingdeng followed the crowd and turned around, only to see a big fat man with a thick layer of grease on his face. He said excitedly and loudly with an expression that hated iron but not steel.

"Looking back over the years, Dongzhao Shenjun was born during the turbulent times of the Warring States Period! At that time, the sea was flying, soldiers were causing trouble, clouds were rising, dragons were flying, and the princes were rising together!"

"The unfairness of heaven has caused the Lord Tosho to be held hostage by the Imagawa clan since he was a child. He has been homeless and moved around, and has been in trouble. However, even though he was trapped in this dangerous situation, the Lord Tosho has never given up on himself, and he has never behaved like a son or daughter!"

"Sit down on the fuel and endure the humiliation! Leave Imagawa, flatten the Takeda, seize the stone fields, destroy Toyotomi, and finally establish our three-hundred-year foundation in the Tokugawa world!"

"It's just a small setback. How is it appropriate to hide your face and cry? Are you not afraid of making the ancients laugh at Jiuquan?"

The Lord Tosho mentioned by the fat man refers to the founding general of the Edo shogunate: Tokugawa Ieyasu.

After Tokugawa Ieyasu's death, the Kyoto court gave him the divine title: Tosho Daigongen.

Therefore, Tosho Kami-kun became the honorific title given to Tokugawa Ieyasu by later generations.

This period of Kang's impassioned reproach stirred up the atmosphere that had become slightly heavier due to the cries of Choubi and others.

Choubao and the others, who were crying very hard just now, stopped crying because they felt embarrassed, and looked at each other with embarrassed expressions.

Fortunately, at this moment, a handsome guy with a handsome face stood up and resolved the awkward atmosphere that was spreading inside and outside the table with some clever words.

"Mr. Tianyin is right! How can a man keep crying like a prisoner of Chu? The right path is to temper yourself and serve the country enthusiastically!"

In this way, the Confucian scholars' conversation switched back to the original topic - what should be done to revive the shogunate.

"Sure enough, we should restore the well-field system first! As long as the field system is reformed, we will no longer worry about the lack of money and food! If we have money and food, why worry about the hopeless revitalization of national strength?"

"No! The reform of the land system is secondary. The most important thing is to select talents as soon as possible! Don't let Kuchiki become an official again!"

"Yes! Well said!"

"Agree! As long as those who are currently at the top of the temple are heretics like Katsu Rintaro or rough and reckless men like Tachibana Aoto, no matter how decent and excellent policies and regulations are, it will never be possible to obtain the most comprehensive and complete

Implement! You might as well think about it, is it possible for Rintaro Katsu, Tachibana Aoden and others to understand our ideas? Since it is impossible for them to understand our ideas, how can they interpret our political ideas?

How to implement it accurately?"

"Yes! Well said!"

"Guangtian-kun is right! Everything depends on people! Without the support of outstanding talents, how can we do things well?"

"Speaking of which... I suddenly recalled that I recently heard some new rumors related to that Tachibana Aoden. I wonder if you are interested in hearing about it?"

"Oh? New rumors about Tachibana Aoden? But it doesn't matter!"

"Then, please listen carefully - according to one of my friends below, Tachibana Aoden is a serious person on the outside, but in fact he is full of lustful thoughts about men and women! According to legend, every holiday or rest day, he will

He lingers among the flowers and maintains unclear and ambiguous relationships with many women, ranging from a cardamom girl who is several years younger than him to a lonely widow who is several years older than him. Huh, you are really very flirtatious!"

"What? Are you serious?"

"Oh, this is not surprising. After all, Ju Qingden used to be just a member of the royal family. He rose to prominence in one day. He had never seen much of the world before. He couldn't resist the temptation and fell into Huahua all of a sudden.

It’s really normal in this world.”

"From the widow to the youngest daughter, we will not let anyone go... Tsk, tsk, tsk, Tachibana's appetite is really good. Hahaha!"

This time Qingdeng's expression changed.

Derogatingly calling him a "reckless man" and accusing him of being "unworthy of his moral integrity" - Qingdeng could laugh at these remarks.

But saying he was a womanizer... Qingden couldn't pretend he hadn't heard such a level of slander!

He admitted that the various actions he had taken so far were indeed too... philanthropic.

After dancing with Kinoshita, Zonazi confessed to Souji, secretly promising to stay together with these three women forever.

But his feelings for the three women are sincere!

His determination to personally bring happiness to the three girls is unwavering!

Therefore, Qingdeng never thought that he was the kind of lustful person who had different ideas and thoughts.

In the field of "love", Qingdeng believed that his will was firm and his affection was single-minded - he loved Kinoshita Mai, Zonazi and Souji exclusively.

He never goes into Yoshiwara or other customary places, he never has any affairs with promiscuous women, and he also tries his best to avoid having too close contact with other women except the three girls.

Just relying on the fact that he "never enters or leaves Fengyue venues" is enough for Qingdeng to instantly defeat more than 90% of his contemporaries.

With Qingdeng's current financial resources, status, and popularity, what level of prostitutes can't be seen?

Qingdeng can easily meet even the top prostitutes, that is, courtesans, and spend the night with them.

Compared with ordinary people, the only difference in me is that I have a little more girls that I love deeply - Qingdeng said this with conviction.

As for Lao Shizi's "No one will let go from the widow to the cardamom girl"... this is even more ridiculous!

Although I don’t know where this message came from or who it came from, it is indeed half right - Qingdeng does know a widow (Tianzhangyuan) who does not know whether she is alone or not, and he also knows a decent person.

A girl in her prime (Elodi), but Qingden is innocent of them.

Although Tianzhangyuan, who has a bit of a devilish personality, likes to tease him and often makes the atmosphere between the two parties full of ambiguity, ultimately, the relationship between him and Tianzhangyuan is just an ordinary superior-subordinate relationship.

The "workplace romance" with Tianzhangyuan... This kind of thing is too sensational.

Let's not even mention that having a relationship or behavior that goes beyond friendship with the legacy of the previous monarch will inevitably attract verbal and written criticism from all over Japan.

Tenshoin is the mother of Tokugawa Iemo Girinou.

In other words, if something really happens with Tenjoin, he will immediately become the legal father of the current king of Japan.

He rose to the top in one fell swoop and became the "Emperor" of this country in a matter of seconds - even a novelist couldn't write such an outrageous plot, right?

Not to mention Elodie, Qingden and her only have a simple relationship between master and disciple.

Being rumored and slandered as a lecher who disrespected women... Unpleasant emotions arose in Qingdeng's heart.

For a moment, Qingdeng had the urge to stand up and argue with these rotten fools who were just talking nonsense, so as to save his own image.

But after a second thought, Qingdeng silently gave up this overwhelming impulse.

——Forget it, why bother with these idiots...

——Even if I try my best to talk, these guys will definitely only believe what they want to believe.
To be continued...
