Empress Dowager Guide

Chapter 133
"Harmful!"

"You don't know. There are many things. Once it happens, I can't decide the result!"

"It's like those stories that are rumored to be false. When I first made it up, I didn't expect it to become such an outrageous story!"

"Dabao," Sheng Shaoqing's tone suddenly became cold, "Why do I not believe what you said?"

Li Dabao clasped his hands again and again, "You must trust me, if you don't look at the face of the monk, you must look at the face of the Buddha. We are still fellow villagers, right?!"

"Also, listen to me explain to you!"

"Since everyone believed in this stone god, my Tiancai Festival has gradually flourished, but the tree is so big that it attracts a lot of wind, and later attracted a group of unexpected guests..."

"They spent a lot of money and promised me a lot of things, let me..."

"let me………"

The more Li Dabao spoke, the more difficult it became for him to speak. He kept looking at Sheng Shaoqing's reaction, and sure enough, seeing his fellow townsman's eyebrows move slightly, he asked in a low voice, "Who are they?"

Li Dabao kept his eyes open, and just muttered, "Anyway, it's some people who are more powerful than me. They just let me continue with what I'm doing now. It's just that... when I preach, I should publicize more about the imperial court. Negative news…”

"What's more, today's lottery is not entirely up to me alone."

Sheng Shaoqing looked at the innocent Li Dabao suspiciously, with a familiar look of pushing the pot on this strange face, "What do you mean?"

"You should also know that when a company grows in size, I can't manage it alone, so I have attracted many other people and money sources..."

"So, apart from me, there are three other venerables in the Sky Color Society..."

Sheng Shaoqing: ………………

To grow up, a start-up needs capital to enter the market. Li Dabao's model is really...complete!

No wonder the system urged her to get rid of Li Dabao as if she was dying. If she didn't make a move, Li Dabao might be going public in Daliang!
Li Dabao said with a bitter face, "So, there is nothing I can do about it, I am forced to do nothing, there is nothing I can do..."

Sheng Shaoqing raised his hand to stop Li Dabao's misdemeanor, "Don't tell me, I understand what you're doing, denying it and selling it miserably, all the mistakes are none of your business, and all the good things are yours."

Li Dabao rubbed the back of his head in confusion. This is the first time he and the Queen Mother have met... Why does the Queen Mother seem to know him well and is quite familiar with him?
"Li Dabao," Sheng Shaoqing said after a pause, "For the sake of our fellow countrymen, how about I give you a chance to reform yourself?"

Li Dabao nodded, "Can you explain?"

"After returning to Fengchun, disband the Tiancai Club, return the wealth to the people, and then find a way to let them return to normal life."

As soon as Sheng Shaoqing said this, Li Dabao took a step back and changed his expression to look him up and down, "I...you, your request is probably a little too much, right?"

"Sky Color Club was founded by me alone, and now you tell me to disband it directly, isn't that tantamount to killing me!"

Sheng Shaoqing said angrily, "You know it's a lie!"

"so what?"

"Take a step back, even if I am willing to disband, the other venerables and... those people, can they be willing?"

"That's not something I worry about. You have to solve the sins you committed before, of course, you have to solve it yourself. You have to tie the bell to untie it."

Li Dabao took another step back and said proudly, "That's not allowed."

Suddenly, Li Dabao rolled his eyes, and said darkly, "It's fine if I want to disband, what benefits can you give me?"

"Do you still want benefits?"

"Of course! Those people gave me a thousand taels of gold, and promised me high officials and generous salary, so I agreed to help them!"

Li Dabao looked at Sheng Shaoqing and said, "For the sake of our fellow countrymen, I don't need so much money, just give me an official position."

"I think the position of the prefect of Chenliu is pretty good."

"If you find it difficult, I can accept it from Fengchun County, after all, it is good for me to go down to the grassroots."

"Afterwards, make some achievements and marry a prostitute who is as beautiful as a flower, and then be named a Marquis or something. It shouldn't be a problem."

"And with our relationship, I'm only one step away from being ranked third."

Li Dabao didn't look at Sheng Shaoqing's increasingly gloomy face, and just planned his own promotion path.

"Li Dabao! I've given you face!"

Sheng Shaoqing thoroughly doubted whether her face was too good before, causing Li Dabao to have some misunderstandings that should not have happened, and she dared to ask her for an official if she was like this? !
"Hey! Hey!", Li Dabao subconsciously nodded and bowed in a low voice again, but this time he didn't let his hands down, he just gave himself two big mouths, "This is going to be the title of the Marquis, and you are so cowardly, it's really useless!"

Seeing Li Dabao immersed in his own world and unable to extricate himself, Sheng Shaoqing directly interrupted his fantasy and shouted: "You really think I'm a soft persimmon!"

"No! No! How can I have it! It's not that your request is a bit too much, so it's normal for me to ask for a corresponding reward!"

"Besides, don't you want to know who bought me?"

Sheng Shaoqing glanced at Li Dabao, whose face was full of calculations, and said, "I don't want to."

Li Dabao was stunned, "Why don't you play your cards according to the routine?!"

Sheng Shaoqing turned around and said to Li Dabao, "Do you really think that I called you here this time to discuss with you?"

Li Dabao looked at Sheng Shaoqing's winding skirt and indifferent expression, and the cold air when he entered the door crept up his back again.

"You... what do you mean..."

"Li Dabao, what's your plan, do you think I don't know?"

"You want to use this matter to threaten me to give you a high official and rich salary. I advise you to stop thinking about it as soon as possible. This is not discussing with you, but I am giving you a final notice."

After Sheng Shaoqing finished speaking, she felt secretly relieved. When she was working, Li Dabao used such a condescending tone every time to get along with her, a humble worker. After many years, he finally repaid him. Summary: Cool!

Li Dabao was stunned and reacted, "Hmph, I thought you would value our fellowship, but I didn't expect...you are such a person!"

Sheng Shaoqing said coldly, "I can destroy my relatives for the sake of righteousness, let alone you."

Li Dabao was furious and immediately retorted, "Why do you think you are more noble than me?"

"You are just reincarnated better than me. You are good. You will be the queen mother when you wear it. But what about me? I am just an ordinary farmer. Do you know how difficult it is for me to fight all the way to become what I am today?" ?!"

Sheng Shaoqing said indifferently: "I don't know, and I don't want to know either."

As soon as she heard his tone, she knew that he wanted to talk about success.

but!

It couldn't be stopped before, but now, she will never give Li Dabao a chance to perform!
Li Dabao was choked by Sheng Shaoqing like this, and he didn't speak for a long time, but seeing that Sheng Shaoqing lives in such a luxurious place now, and his expression is still so arrogant, he still couldn't hold back the resentment in his heart and said, "You!"

"I'm a farmer, look at my body, how can I work in the fields and be exposed to the scorching sun?!"

"I want to pursue an official career, but this ruined dynasty only cares about my background and not my talent. Even if I have the ambition to serve the country, it is difficult to achieve it. I have to give up on this path!"

"It can work...how can a handicapped person like me do it?!"

"I can only do business for a living!"

"You still want to smash my job now. Even if you are the queen mother, I will fight for justice for myself if I risk my life. Let me ask you, do you have a conscience?! Do you have any sympathy?! "

"A capable person, no matter what the environment or status, can shine everywhere, can't he?" Sheng Shaoqing immediately used the words Li Dabao brainwashed her back in the past, "I won't let you take the crooked ways of Tiancaihui." , you should be able to find another way, right?"

"You ask me if I have a conscience? You ask me if I have compassion?"

Sheng Shaoqing laughed back angrily, "Have you ever seen the misery of those people in Fengchun who were cheated by you and went bankrupt?!"

"Have you ever seen the misery of those people who broke up and died for a piece of broken stone?!"

Sheng Shaoqing pressed her step by step, "You actually dare to ask me if I have a conscience. I haven't asked you about your conscience, your sympathy!"

Li Dabao flicked his sleeves and said, "I have no conscience! I have no compassion! I don't have any!"

"No business, no rape, haven't you heard?! If I don't coax and lie, how can they hand over the money obediently?!"

Sheng Shaoqing looked coldly at Li Dabao, who was already a little crazy, "Look, you're finally telling the truth."

"So, are you going to disband?"

Li Dabao's eyes were tearing apart and he said, "I! No!"

"Okay", Sheng Shaoqing was already mentally prepared for this ending, "Come on!"

Cui Yun, who was waiting outside, immediately walked in. Seeing that the quarrel inside became more and more intense, Cui Yun wanted to come in a long time ago, but the Empress Dowager didn't announce it. As soon as she got Sheng Shaoqing's permission, she rushed in.

"Take this person into prison and try again later!"

Sheng Shaoqing turned to Li Dabao and said, "When did you figure it out, and when will you come see me again."

Li Dabao was immediately frightened back by Sheng Shaoqing's sudden turn of events, this person is actually serious? !The arrogant attitude suddenly subsided a bit.

No matter who the person in front of him is, now that he is about to go to prison, he... can't just be arrested like this, just sit and wait for death!
"No, you... are you serious?"

"You are serious!"

Sheng Shaoqing said indifferently, "Otherwise?"

Cui Yun made a gesture of invitation and was about to invite Li Dabao out. Li Dabao brushed away Cui Yun's hand and said to Sheng Shaoqing, "You really don't care about us..."

Seeing that Cui Yun was present, Li Dabao couldn't explain too clearly, so he just looked at Sheng Shaoqing with a bit of pleading eyes.

"Didn't you disregard face first?"

"You still come with me!" Cui Yun's unquestionable tone made Li Dabao sober.

"Hey! You... this... me and I... and the Queen Mother are arguing..."

Before the word "playing" was spoken, Cui Yun's words of reprimand had already been thrown in front of Li Dabao's eyes, "Bold! How dare you be so presumptuous in front of the Queen Mother?!"

"It's so disrespectful, how dare you call yourself me in front of the queen mother?! How many heads do you have enough for you to chop off?!"

Cui Yun replied to Sheng Shaoqing, "Queen! This person is so presumptuous, he must be severely punished!"

Sheng Shaoqing didn't speak, but watched Li Dabao's expression freeze inch by inch.

Li Dabao tentatively asked, "How to punish severely?"

It was the first time that Cui Yun saw such a courageous person who dared to ask her fate when she was about to die, but since the Queen Mother didn't object, she might as well tell him, "Being disrespectful in front of the palace is as light as the court staff, and as serious as that." But capital punishment!"

Li Dabao was so frightened that he collapsed to the ground, pointed at Sheng Shaoqing and said, "You...you really want to do this to me?"

Cui Yun continued to add the crime, "You don't need to address the queen mother with respect, but you point your finger at the queen mother. Your current crime will be added to the crime."

Li Dabao wiped his sweat with his sleeves and thought hard about the countermeasures. Just now, what he said out of anger was also the first time he had spoken the truth since time travel. He really... really couldn't control it!
When this emotion gets to the top, it's out of his control.

He couldn't tell his father what he said, because his father was just an honest farmer who couldn't read, and if he said it, he would only make him think he was crazy.But he can't talk to his younger brother, because his younger brother is a corrupt Confucian who only has sages and great principles in his heart.But he has no friends here, and he finally met a contemporary who, presumably, could understand his pain, and all his emotions were poured out by him.

But he forgot, or maybe he deliberately ignored it, the natural barrier of his identity is that he is a commoner, and the person in front of him is the present empress dowager.

That being the case...

Li Dabao fell to his knees with a "plop", and begged Sheng Shaoqing for mercy, "The queen mother spares my life, the queen mother spares my life!"

Li Dabao, who reigned supreme in Fengchun and called the wind and rain, had no airs at this moment, he just lowered his body and begged Sheng Shaoqing to forgive him.

Sheng Shaoqing waved his hand to signal Cui Yun to go down, Cui Yun was puzzled and said, "Queen Mother!"

But he didn't disobey Sheng Shaoqing's firm eyes, so he had no choice but to go out again.

"Can you agree to my proposal just now?"

"Agree! Agree! I agree with everything you say!"

Sheng Shaoqing: ……………

This desire to survive... really makes people less human...

"Get up first," Sheng Shaoqing said after a helpless pause, "If you do well, it's not without benefits."

"Eh?"

Li Dabao wiped away his tears and his nose, "What the hell?"

"I mean, not for nothing."

"Then you just paid back?"

Sheng Shaoqing spread his hands and said, "Is the benefit of hearing what you said for yourself unrealistic?"

"Still in the third class?"

"Why don't you say you're going to sit in my seat directly?"

"That's up to you..."

"What?" Sheng Shaoqing tilted his head to look at Li Dabao who stood up, and Li Dabao smiled obsequiously, "Just kidding...just kidding..."

Sheng Shaoqing knew that Li Dabao would change his face quickly in front of the leader, but he didn't expect that one day he would become his leader and experience his face-changing technique.
