The power of idols and role models is infinite. At the call of Zhuo Yang, Allen, and a group of noble guides, guides on more than 100 planets in Osphia plucked up the courage and spontaneously organized to go to the mental institutions on their respective plants and help soothe those mentally disordered sentinels.
Suddenly, contribute one’s own power to society as a guide, and going to the medical hospitals to help mentally disordered sentinels almost became a fashion statement for guides to demonstrate and advertise their abilities.
Zhuo Yang, as the initiator of this call and the crown princess, has also undergone such positive changes, and became very busy. After the press conference, he accepted interviews from many media.
“I’ve noticed that because of the recent call by me and some other nobles in our capital, many guides are volunteering to help mentally disordered sentinels to channel their spiritual power. Our country is becoming more and more united. Us guides with the weakest physical abilities can also contribute our strength to the country… I am very happy seeing this. This is a very good phenomenon.” Zhuo Yang first highly praised the guides who are willing to come out and contribute to their own on the talk show. Their spiritual guidance helps many disordered sentinels restore normalcy in their lives.
Immediately afterwards, he added another social issue that he had paid attention to recently: “But there is one thing, I have also noticed, that I have to talk about. That is, I have recently seen many people using public opinion to criticize and kidnap those guides are unwilling, demanding to provide compulsory counseling for mentally disordered sentinels… Otherwise, those who are unwilling to do so or charge a fee will attract attacks from the public.”
“Such behavior makes me very sad. I hope you can also pay attention to your own words. The call and initiation of this activity is entirely voluntary. Although the number of guides is scarce, people are not tools or resources… They can also be busy with other things, and are are not obligated to help sentinels to channel their spiritual power for free. After all, this is very time consuming… Many civilian guides have no other sources of income, and they rely on such fees from helping sentinels to channel their spiritual power to maintain their livelihood. You can’t ask all guides to help sentinels out of goodwill, just because some have taken the lead.” As a guide, Zhuo Yang still considers the problem from the perspective of a guide. “But there are some guides whose physical condition is really not good, and are not very suited to help channel a sentinel’s spiritual power… I hope everyone can deal with this problem calmly. In fact, seeing so many guides willing to stand up and help after I announced this call to action, I’m very happy and grateful.”
He has to look at the other side as well.
No matter what the original intention of anything is, once it is too extreme and fanatical, there will be no good results.
The moral kidnappings and public opinion attacks of many angry youths did force many noble guides who were unwilling to wade in such waters participate, allowing him and Moodys to achieve a very good effect in a short period of time. However, Zhuo Yang is unwilling to look at society as a materialized guide, and use public opinion to attack the guide from another aspect…
In the long run, such behaviors will only lead to bad outcomes, so he chose to stand up and stop it.
As soon as Zhuo Yang’s interview was published, it became widely circulated online.
Because of his outstanding appearance, popularity, spiritual strength, and crown princess identity, many people regarded him as an idol and male god online. Many angry youths attacked other guides under the banner of being his fans, accusing them with words such as “what about the crown princess” and so. It even attracted many Zhuo Yang fans to follow and like them enthusiastically.
After Zhuo Yang said these words, the angry youths who were unreasonably attacking those unwilling guides immediately turned off their fire. Zhuo Yang fans also calmed down and began to consider others, no longer morally kidnapping guides or persecuting with public opinion.
Those guides who were originally reluctant to go out and help, or helped after being forced, have a better impression of Zhuo Yang after he stood up to say these things. It relieved a lot of pressure on him, and let them see the crown princess put himself in consideration of their situation.
And those guides who were originally relying on charging sentinels for spiritual guidance to make a living, after Zhuo Yang said these words, they no longer shrank back and were afraid of being attacked or abused for charging a fee… They stood up generously and began to treat their behavior of charging fees to help with spiritual counseling as a normal, upright and non-shameful job.
Everything is thriving, developing in the direction expected by Moodys and Zhuo Yang.
The empire’s television and entertainment also responded to the government’s call. The themes in TV series no longer advertised that guides should stay at home and depend on their sentinel, remain filial to one’s parents-in-law, and take care of children. It was the other way around. They began to praise the guides that learned self-reliance, so as to help other sentinels channel their spiritual power, help the government save people, and contribute their own strength to society.
And those who who were originally seen as normal on TV, such as keep your mouth shut and I’ll raise you, guides should not have a job and stay home, or you have to listen to me, type of sentinel cancer sentiments were blocked. The Imperial Television Bureau also began to uncharacteristically start criticizing them, making them in the image of foils, male seconds, or male thirds, as sentinels who should not be able to find a guide for a lifetime, and are not worthy of any guide.
A good sentinel is a sentinel who respects their guide, understands their guide, and treats their guide as a person equal to oneself, rather than a tool to channel their spiritual power.
As for those, there are many sentinels in Osphia who have ordinary people as lovers. Because the lover is an ordinary person or sentinel, and can’t channel their spiritual power, they chose to marry a guide, but didn’t love them. Instead, they continued to entangle with their previous lover, and make them feel wronged. They feel that if a guide could not channel their mental strength, they will never marry them. Through the televised movies and dramas, this kind of sentinel received many accusations and attacks, creating a very disgusting image on these people…
It aroused aroused accusation and hot discussions of many viewers…
No gender is born to be oppressed. Even if one is brainwashed into thinking their gender is stronger and pretended to be superior, it was only because they were foolishly blinded to think they were born like that, and think they should be treated as such.
Once you give them a little chance, a little light, and let them understand that all people are created equal… No one is lower than anyone else, no one is born lower than anyone because of their sex.
They will awaken, and they will stand up and fight for their rights.
With Zhuo Yang taking the lead in calling for guides to stand up and contribute their spiritual guidance to the country, Allen’s words that looked down on them, feeling they were unclean, all kinds of TV dramas that began to harshly criticize sentinel cancers and straight man cancers appeared…
With official support, the status of women and guides who were originally disadvantaged rose unprecedentedly.
Women and guides who had been brainwashed for many years began to wake up, and the feminist and guide rights of Osphia suddenly rose.
Originally, because they didn’t have a job and or poor health, and could only be raised at home by the sentinel cancer, guides with spouses who did not love them and were accused of having low mental power, could only bear it for their children. These oppressed guides suddenly awakened… Thinking of the outside, there are still so many sentinels who can’t find a guide, and they also have the ability to do spiritual guidance. These guides are no longer willing to bear it, slapping the faces of those sentinel cancers and announcing a divorce…
Osphia’s law is still biased towards proposing the weak side. For guides, as long as they propose to divorce, they can get a divorce under normal circumstances. Not to mention they can get a lot of property and custody of their children.
It’s only that in the past, the large number of sentinel cancers used public opinion and other methods to oppress and brainwash guides to think as long as they left the sentinels they married, they would never find another one. That guides helping more than one sentinel with spiritual guidance are dirty, broken shoes… The whole social environment is like this. Sometimes guides and women were even brainwashed by the environment into oppressing their own kind. How can those oppressed guides have the courage to take the step and go out, or face the attacks and pressure from public opinion?
However, this time Zhuo Yang’s call to action for guides freed them. He refuted the belief that guides who channel more than one sentinel’s spiritual power are unclean, but it instead is a power for them to save the lives of their fellow compatriots.
Everything became different–
Guides are human beings, not animals that are accustomed to being enslaved by oppression. After knowing that some concepts are ignorant and wrong, how can they be willing to continuing living their oppressed lives like before?
Suddenly, the divorce rate in Osphia was soaring. Spreading from the civilian circle, guides began to resist… Originally, because conditions were good, those sentinels with cancerous thoughts who ate, drank, prostituted, and gambled outside, with guides at home, and were the cause of other sentinel’s jealousy, instantly reverted to bachelors again, without a guide.
Those sentinel cancers didn’t respond at first. They thought that their guides would return after a few days of hard work outside. Unexpectedly, their guides left them for a better time. By the time they reacted and wanted their guide back, their guides were not cheap anymore, and refused to go home with the sentinel.
Many sentinels like this change very much. Originally, there were few guides, and it was difficult for them to find a guide. Now a large number of guides have divorced and are single again, and they have another chance…
The sudden divorce fever also spread to the aristocratic circle. Many guides who seemed to be close to their own sentinels, but were only making do, gained infinite courage from it and chose to divorce.
Zhuo Yang was quite stunned to find out. He couldn’t imagine that so many sentinels in Osphia that their guides were dissatisfied with across all of Osphia.
Under Chu Lie’s suggestion, the government set up a special “Freedom Contribution Award” for those guides who volunteered to help soldiers in the border before the call began. Their lives are difficult, but they have saved the lives of many border soldiers. These guides, who were unclear about the situation were invited a program group of a certain TV station of Emperor Star to praise and recognize them. They were seen as the “Top Ten People of the Year to Move Osphia” and “Great Figures of Influence and Change”.
Set them up as role models for the people to learn and respect.
After Zhuo Yang was interviewed by several programs, a program planning team aiming to promote guide and women’s rights felt that Zhuo Yang’s thoughts were very consistent with them. Given how eye-catching the status of the crown princess and royal family is, if he participated and shared his opinion, they tentatively sent an email inviting Zhuo Yang to the program. It will certainly make a great impact in promoting guide and women’s rights if he attends.
At the beginning of the email, the program planner just asked tentatively. He didn’t expect Zhuo Yang to really come to participate in their show, and didn’t actually expect the crown princess to see the email.
But unexpectedly, by chance, Zhuo Yang saw this email when he was sorting his mailbox.
“Do you want to accept the invitation to participate in this show?” Moodys asked Zhuo Yang when he saw Zhuo Yang reading this email carefully, and took a look.
Zhuo Yang raised his lips with interest. “I think it’s a little bit interesting. If this program has a good response and arouses the audience’s love, I think it should be able to help the royal family’s image and increase popular support…”
“After all, the credibility of the royal family and government has long been inferior in the eyes of the public. This can be a good opportunity to redeem it.” He added.
The implication is that he is very interested and eager to accept the invitation to participate.
Moodys looked at him, touching the short hairs on his temples with great indulgence. “If you want to go, you can go.”
“I really want to go, but I’m just afraid of the Elder Council and Cabinet…” Zhuo Yang frowned with a headache.
The Elder Council and Cabinet are quite strict. They are in charge of the words and deeds of the royal family members outside. A princess’s dress was too exposing a few decades ago, and the two forced combined and accused her for a long time of corrupting the image of the royal family.
And he, the crown princess, now wants to participate in the show like a star. The cabinet and elders are so old-fashioned, can you agree?
“The times have changed. It’s time for those old-fashioned people to change those ideas which are accumulating dust.” Moodys can be said to be very indulgent, to the point of omnipotence. “Go if you want. Don’t worry about the rest. Just leave it to me to deal with the cabinet and elders.”
Zhuo Yang smiled immediately. “Okay.”
With the promise and support of the crown prince who could even settle those politicians and family heads when proposing such reforms, Zhuo Yang immediately became unscrupulous. He became the first member of the royal family to appear on an entertainment program in Osphia’s history, exposing his own life as a member of the royal family to everyone.
The entire image of the noble and glamorous Osphia royal family instantly became grounded and approachable.
It is also more popular among the people.
“I don’t agree. Because of marriage, sentinels and men who are more physically violent at home get a reduced sentence after beating their spouses to death, are forgiven by the law, and tried as manslaughter and not sentenced to death. It’s unfair for guides and women. Even if, commutation and forgiveness can be given due to their marriage relationship, they should be treated equally. Women should not be weaker than men. Therefore, if a wife kills her husband in a marriage, it is deemed to be a deliberate murder and sentenced to death. The husband’s killing of his wife is careless, it is an excessive murder. This kind of marriage law has no guarantee for women…” Zhuo Yang put forward a lot of suggestions on how to improve the country’s laws in the show. “I suggest, the next time this kind of thing is tried, they can consider this aspect. Regardless of marital relationship, killing someone, both men and women can be sentenced to death. Or, because of marital relationship, everyone will have lightened sentences and forgiven, without the death penalty. “
“Also, parents can kill their children without going to jail, or can get a reduction in punishment. I think this should be improved. Because of a parent-child relationship, you should not have the right to kill, and are ignored. Children have always belonged to their parents.” he said.
Zhuo Yang loved to follow many cases in civilian circles, and observed many shortcomings in the existing laws. “Also, in the case of underage rape, even rape and murder, I also think the law should make improvements. These criminals should not be commuted or escape death penalty just because they are minors… Since we have the ability to rape or even rape and kill others, then we should not treat such people as children nor treat them as minors.”
“Then, regarding the privileges enjoyed by the nobility, when committing certain criminal acts, the punishment can be commuted and pardoned because of their noble status. In fact, my personal view is not very acceptable – even in the ancient earth period, there was a saying that “a prince breaking the law has the same guilt as the common people”. Now why should we protect these nobles? Yes, they are nobles, including myself, who have inherited the shadow of their ancestors. Their ancestors were powerful and great people, but do not represent whether their descendants will not be scum.”
Zhuo Yang already has a lot of fans. As soon as the show was broadcast on more than 100 planets, it it will be a hit.
In addition, most of his speeches are morally sound and upright. Although he is a nobleman, his ideology is different from that of other nobles. Most of them speak from the perspective of civilians, weaker guides, women, and speak for them.
After several episodes of the show, his remarks were immediately praised and echoed by the public.
And he himself, because of the broadcast and his extremely positive speech and three views, grained fans like crazy. His popularity soared, and even has a vague trend of catching up with Moodys.
Because Zhuo Yang’s speech spoke out the aspirations of most ordinary people, women, and disadvantaged groups – shortly after the show was broadcast, the people also affectionately referred to him as the “People’s Crown Princess” online.
The words and deeds of the crown princess represented the royal family and crown prince’s attitude in the eyes of many. Therefore, Zhuo Yang’s public speech also affected many planets, regarding his words as the crown prince’s intent.
Therefore, on several planets with cases of “husband beating wife to death by domestic violence”, “parents killing young children”, “minor rape and murder” and some cases involving nobles, mentioned by Zhuo Yang, the governors no longer dared to judge lightly, favoring men, irresponsible parents, or nobles as they did in the past. Instead, they cautiously pursued the meaning of those above, severely sentencing the offenders who had previously had opportunities for commutated sentences under the law.
These cases have attracted the attention of the whole population. After Zhuo Yang went on the show and displayed a satisfactory result to everyone, the public praise for Zhuo Yang and Moodys became higher, and more trusting.
The families of the victims who were wronged and had nowhere to sue are also grateful for Zhuo Yang’s policy were extremely thankful towards the crown prince.
Many people left messages saying that because of the existence of people like the crown prince and princess, they saw the value of the royal family and saw the hope and future of this empire.
Everyone believed that Moodys and Zhuo Yang would lead them to a better tomorrow.
—–
“How could this happen? How is this Zhuo Yang so lucky? Why is everyone praising him and scolding me?” Seeing the praise Zhuo Yang being praised by almost everyone online, Rand couldn’t help but get angry again, throwing thing around.
Mrs. Jenny smiled and touched Rand’s head, and said softly: “Child, don’t worry. This ‘people’s princess’ can stay proud of him for a few days, and then his people will abandon him… Wait until everyone sees his true features exposed. He will betray his relatives, his mask will be broken, and his reputation will be infamous.”
She has already grasped Zhuo Yang’s handle. Destroying Zhuo Yang is just around the corner.
“Auntie, do you have a way to deal with Zhuo Yang?” Rand looked at Mrs. Jenny expectantly.
Mrs. Jenny smiled very deeply as she said, “Wait. You can bear this with me for a few more days. Pretend to be good for a while longer, and soon this painting of Zhuo Yang will fall off and be exposed to everyone.”
She is full of confidence.
“Okay, auntie.” After listening to her, Rand, who had been restless, immediately calmed down.
—–
The aristocratic circle of the imperial capital often has various evening parties. As a social expert, Changdi Qing is the most enthusiastic about holding and organizing various evening parties.
Before Zhuo Yang got married, he didn’t even have the qualifications to participate in such a dinner because of the declining Zhuo family.
Even if the Zhuo family had the chance to participate in this kind of banquet, the priority was always given to Zhuo Yu.
Zhuo Yang once yearned to attend such a banquet, because invitations to them were a symbol of identity and status, and a good opportunity to get acquainted with other dignitaries. But after getting such an opportunity, he was very busy and didn’t have time at all, nor the intention to attend such a banquet.
After going to several of them, he felt that such banquets are not interesting at all. It is better to save time at home and be with Moodys.
But even if he feels bored, with his status, there are always a lot of people inviting to him such banquets.
Zhuo Yang didn’t want to go anymore, but he had to go once or twice.
After attending a show, dealing with things, and obligatorily helping a few mentally disordered sentinels, Zhuo Yang took a shower. He didn’t even have time to meet with Moodys for a break, before hurrying to the banquet.
“Come, Your Highness, come to my side.” The host of this banquet was Changdi Qing, Dean. When saw Zhuo Yang enter, he immediately greeted him warmly.
Zhuo Yang stepped forward with a smile and donned the mask of the crown princess, to deal with Dean’s enthusiasm for gossip. “Little uncle.”
Dean, Changdi Qing, is a social expert. No one will feel unhappy after talking to him, and Zhuo Yang is the same.
“Your Highness’s outfit tonight is really beautiful. In the entire banquet hall, there isn’t anyone more beautiful than Your Highness.” Dean smiled and took Zhuo Yang’s hand, as if he liked this nephew very much.
Zhuo Yang smiled shyly. “Where, little uncle exaggerates. I’m just wearing something casually.”
“How did I exaggerate? Dressing casually, and it’s on the top fashion magazine in Osphia. Now those fashionistas are all following your attire.” Dean complimented.
Zhuo Yang didn’t know about it. “Is it? I don’t read a lot of fashion magazines, and I don’t have time to read it. I really don’t know. In fact, these clothes are matched by the butler and the clothing team. As long as I can wear it without being embarrassment or being conspicuous, I will wear it.”
“This is because you are young and good-looking, so you look good in everything. Unlike me, who is already old.” Dean poured a cup of wine.
Zhuo Yang gently held the wine cup. “How so? Little uncle, when the two of us go out together, I’m afraid everyone will think that we are the same size? If you say you are old, in the entire Osphia, there might be no one that dares say they’re young.”
Changdi Qing is indeed very well maintained, and his age can’t be seen.
Even if he is over a hundred years old, he is still the dream lover in the minds of many sentinels on Emperor Star.
Dean, Changdi Qing, smiled. He did not speak, obviously not taking Zhuo Yang’s childish words to heart.
Zhuo Yang picked up the wine glass and took a sip of red wine. He only felt that the taste was very good, sweet and fruity. His hands are very beautiful, white as jade, and the knuckles of his fingers are like a handful of slender onions.
“His Royal Highness reminded me of an old person.” Changdi Qing stared at Zhuo Yang for a while, as if he had thought of something, and said with emotion.
Zhuo Yang looked up at him in surprise.
Dean took it upon himself to explain. “Thinking back, after living for more than a hundred years, only their demeanor can be compared to His Royal Highness.”
“Who is it? I don’t know, have I seen them before?” Zhuo Yang was a little curious.
It wasn’t that he was arrogant. He really had never met anyone who could compete with him in appearance.
Such beauties should be very rare.
“It’s an old friend of mine…” Changdi Qing seemed to think of something in the past. His eyes were slightly red, and he paused for a while before saying, “Their wife.”
Zhuo Yang was stunned.
Changdi Qing wiped the tears from the corner of his eyes. “Sorry, Your Highness, do you mind if you compare you to a lady?”
“It’s okay.” Zhuo Yang didn’t think it was anything, and joked: “Perhaps good-looking people always have something in common. But I don’t know where is this wife of little uncle’s friend?”
People always wants to see peerless beauties.
“Gone.” Changdi Qing’s voice almost choked up. “When I was young, I still admired him. His wife really is the moonlight wind, with majestic grace, and an appearance bright and soft as the moonlight, just like goddess of the moonlight. Really makes me feel ashamed at first glance.”
Changdi Qing is already quite a well-known beauty in Emperor Star. Zhuo Yang really could not imagine how beautiful a person had to be to make him feel ashamed and filthy.
Zhuo Yang was stunned. He suddenly reacted to something and blurted out: “Is the deceased little uncle is talking about surnamed Xue?”
He originally wanted to ask if it was Marshal Xue, Mrs. Xue… But thinking how the empire convicted Xue Zhanting back then. After his name has not be cleared, and it is no longer suitable to call Xue Zhanting a marshal, so he changed his words…
Zhuo Yang had heard Moodys mention Changdi Qing admired Marshal Xue when he was young. He also heard that when the Xue family had an accident, Changdi Qing repeatedly kneeled in front of the emperor’s palace to plead for the Xue family, but he was helpless and unable to change his brother’s attitude and thoughts, which was really regrettable.
“It turns out that Your Highness knows him. I thought you juniors didn’t know them anymore?” Changdi Qing’s tone was rather regretful. “It’s really a pity – he and his wife, a hero and beauty, a heavenly match.”
Zhuo Yang heard of Marshal Xue’s outstanding appearance and achievements before, but never heard his wife being such a beautiful woman.
Pity.
However, even if regretful, Zhuo Yang was never acquainted with the marshal and his wife who have been dead for 50 years.
As a person who listened to the story, he could only comfort the Changdi Qing who was a close friend of Marshal Xue and his wife. “The deceased is dead, and little uncle should not be too sad.I believe that your deceased couple also hopes that you can live a good life. Don’t be sad for them.”
“…If they still have descendants, it would be fine. If they have descendants, I am willing to raise them for them.” After a while, Dean said.
At this time, Zhuo Yang couldn’t say anything other than silence.
The banquet lasted a long time.
Zhuo Yang was talking to the last person he should greet. After greeting them, he lowered his head and glanced at the time, ready to leave. At this moment, someone stopped him with a solemn expression.
It is the Fang’s family, Miss Fang Yunzhi.
Fang Yunzhi was looking at him with a complicated expression, her face full of hesitation.
“What’s wrong? Miss Fang.” Zhuo Yang had a good impression of the girl, so he took the initiative to say hello.
Fang Yunzhi took a deep breath. Looking around and seeing many people talking, she said to Zhuo Yang in a rather cold tone, “Your Highness, is it convenient for you to take a step to speak?”
She was asking, but her tone was not so soft…
“Yes.” Although Zhuo Yang didn’t know what was going on, he still agreed with a smile.
When the two moved to a remote place, Fang Yunzhi took a deep breath. She didn’t know how much courage she had to summon Zhuo Yang. “Your Highness, I don’t care how you designed to marry His Royal Highness or what purpose you have. Whoever it is from the bottom of your heart you really love… I just hope you will never be sorry, and betray His Royal Highness…”
“Otherwise, I will never let you go. I will definitely stand up and expose you.” Fang Yunzhi clenched her fists with both hands. Her nails were pinched into flesh unconsciously, as if she was facing such a terrible person.
She was a little frightened, but still forced herself to be tough…
Zhuo Yang frowned, his face was unclear, so he asked: “Miss Fang, I don’t understand what you are talking about.”
He has countless, unpredictable schemes, but this time he was really at a loss.
“Your Highness needn’t try to understand and pretend to be confused. If you don’t know, you can’t do anything. I already know the things you have done before, as well as those things about you and the Secretary General. I haven’t told His Royal Highness, and I hope you can converge a little in the future and disconnect from those things in the past… I can see that His Royal Highness loves you very much, and I hope you don’t hurt him.” Fang Yunzhi threatened: “If I find out you have hurt His Royal Highness in the future, I will tell him everything and will not let your conspiracy succeed. At that time, you will have nothing.”
Zhuo Yang frowned, and just wanted to explain something to her: “Miss Fang…”
“I hope Your Highness will do it for himself in the future.” Fang Yunzhi dropped these words and ran away.
Zhuo Yang: “…”
Zhuo Yang stood still, frowning unconsciously.
The power of idols and role models is infinite. At the call of Zhuo Yang, Allen, and a group of noble guides, guides on more than 100 planets in Osphia plucked up the courage and spontaneously organized to go to the mental institutions on their respective plants and help soothe those mentally disordered sentinels.
Suddenly, contribute one’s own power to society as a guide, and going to the medical hospitals to help mentally disordered sentinels almost became a fashion statement for guides to demonstrate and advertise their abilities.
Zhuo Yang, as the initiator of this call and the crown princess, has also undergone such positive changes, and became very busy. After the press conference, he accepted interviews from many media.
“I’ve noticed that because of the recent call by me and some other nobles in our capital, many guides are volunteering to help mentally disordered sentinels to channel their spiritual power. Our country is becoming more and more united. Us guides with the weakest physical abilities can also contribute our strength to the country… I am very happy seeing this. This is a very good phenomenon.” Zhuo Yang first highly praised the guides who are willing to come out and contribute to their own on the talk show. Their spiritual guidance helps many disordered sentinels restore normalcy in their lives.
Immediately afterwards, he added another social issue that he had paid attention to recently: “But there is one thing, I have also noticed, that I have to talk about. That is, I have recently seen many people using public opinion to criticize and kidnap those guides are unwilling, demanding to provide compulsory counseling for mentally disordered sentinels… Otherwise, those who are unwilling to do so or charge a fee will attract attacks from the public.”
“Such behavior makes me very sad. I hope you can also pay attention to your own words. The call and initiation of this activity is entirely voluntary. Although the number of guides is scarce, people are not tools or resources… They can also be busy with other things, and are are not obligated to help sentinels to channel their spiritual power for free. After all, this is very time consuming… Many civilian guides have no other sources of income, and they rely on such fees from helping sentinels to channel their spiritual power to maintain their livelihood. You can’t ask all guides to help sentinels out of goodwill, just because some have taken the lead.” As a guide, Zhuo Yang still considers the problem from the perspective of a guide. “But there are some guides whose physical condition is really not good, and are not very suited to help channel a sentinel’s spiritual power… I hope everyone can deal with this problem calmly. In fact, seeing so many guides willing to stand up and help after I announced this call to action, I’m very happy and grateful.”
He has to look at the other side as well.
No matter what the original intention of anything is, once it is too extreme and fanatical, there will be no good results.
The moral kidnappings and public opinion attacks of many angry youths did force many noble guides who were unwilling to wade in such waters participate, allowing him and Moodys to achieve a very good effect in a short period of time. However, Zhuo Yang is unwilling to look at society as a materialized guide, and use public opinion to attack the guide from another aspect…
In the long run, such behaviors will only lead to bad outcomes, so he chose to stand up and stop it.
As soon as Zhuo Yang’s interview was published, it became widely circulated online.
Because of his outstanding appearance, popularity, spiritual strength, and crown princess identity, many people regarded him as an idol and male god online. Many angry youths attacked other guides under the banner of being his fans, accusing them with words such as “what about the crown princess” and so. It even attracted many Zhuo Yang fans to follow and like them enthusiastically.
After Zhuo Yang said these words, the angry youths who were unreasonably attacking those unwilling guides immediately turned off their fire. Zhuo Yang fans also calmed down and began to consider others, no longer morally kidnapping guides or persecuting with public opinion.
Those guides who were originally reluctant to go out and help, or helped after being forced, have a better impression of Zhuo Yang after he stood up to say these things. It relieved a lot of pressure on him, and let them see the crown princess put himself in consideration of their situation.
And those guides who were originally relying on charging sentinels for spiritual guidance to make a living, after Zhuo Yang said these words, they no longer shrank back and were afraid of being attacked or abused for charging a fee… They stood up generously and began to treat their behavior of charging fees to help with spiritual counseling as a normal, upright and non-shameful job.
Everything is thriving, developing in the direction expected by Moodys and Zhuo Yang.
The empire’s television and entertainment also responded to the government’s call. The themes in TV series no longer advertised that guides should stay at home and depend on their sentinel, remain filial to one’s parents-in-law, and take care of children. It was the other way around. They began to praise the guides that learned self-reliance, so as to help other sentinels channel their spiritual power, help the government save people, and contribute their own strength to society.
And those who who were originally seen as normal on TV, such as keep your mouth shut and I’ll raise you, guides should not have a job and stay home, or you have to listen to me, type of sentinel cancer sentiments were blocked. The Imperial Television Bureau also began to uncharacteristically start criticizing them, making them in the image of foils, male seconds, or male thirds, as sentinels who should not be able to find a guide for a lifetime, and are not worthy of any guide.
A good sentinel is a sentinel who respects their guide, understands their guide, and treats their guide as a person equal to oneself, rather than a tool to channel their spiritual power.
As for those, there are many sentinels in Osphia who have ordinary people as lovers. Because the lover is an ordinary person or sentinel, and can’t channel their spiritual power, they chose to marry a guide, but didn’t love them. Instead, they continued to entangle with their previous lover, and make them feel wronged. They feel that if a guide could not channel their mental strength, they will never marry them. Through the televised movies and dramas, this kind of sentinel received many accusations and attacks, creating a very disgusting image on these people…
It aroused aroused accusation and hot discussions of many viewers…
No gender is born to be oppressed. Even if one is brainwashed into thinking their gender is stronger and pretended to be superior, it was only because they were foolishly blinded to think they were born like that, and think they should be treated as such.
Once you give them a little chance, a little light, and let them understand that all people are created equal… No one is lower than anyone else, no one is born lower than anyone because of their sex.
They will awaken, and they will stand up and fight for their rights.
With Zhuo Yang taking the lead in calling for guides to stand up and contribute their spiritual guidance to the country, Allen’s words that looked down on them, feeling they were unclean, all kinds of TV dramas that began to harshly criticize sentinel cancers and straight man cancers appeared…
With official support, the status of women and guides who were originally disadvantaged rose unprecedentedly.
Women and guides who had been brainwashed for many years began to wake up, and the feminist and guide rights of Osphia suddenly rose.
Originally, because they didn’t have a job and or poor health, and could only be raised at home by the sentinel cancer, guides with spouses who did not love them and were accused of having low mental power, could only bear it for their children. These oppressed guides suddenly awakened… Thinking of the outside, there are still so many sentinels who can’t find a guide, and they also have the ability to do spiritual guidance. These guides are no longer willing to bear it, slapping the faces of those sentinel cancers and announcing a divorce…
Osphia’s law is still biased towards proposing the weak side. For guides, as long as they propose to divorce, they can get a divorce under normal circumstances. Not to mention they can get a lot of property and custody of their children.
It’s only that in the past, the large number of sentinel cancers used public opinion and other methods to oppress and brainwash guides to think as long as they left the sentinels they married, they would never find another one. That guides helping more than one sentinel with spiritual guidance are dirty, broken shoes… The whole social environment is like this. Sometimes guides and women were even brainwashed by the environment into oppressing their own kind. How can those oppressed guides have the courage to take the step and go out, or face the attacks and pressure from public opinion?
However, this time Zhuo Yang’s call to action for guides freed them. He refuted the belief that guides who channel more than one sentinel’s spiritual power are unclean, but it instead is a power for them to save the lives of their fellow compatriots.
Everything became different–
Guides are human beings, not animals that are accustomed to being enslaved by oppression. After knowing that some concepts are ignorant and wrong, how can they be willing to continuing living their oppressed lives like before?
Suddenly, the divorce rate in Osphia was soaring. Spreading from the civilian circle, guides began to resist… Originally, because conditions were good, those sentinels with cancerous thoughts who ate, drank, prostituted, and gambled outside, with guides at home, and were the cause of other sentinel’s jealousy, instantly reverted to bachelors again, without a guide.
Those sentinel cancers didn’t respond at first. They thought that their guides would return after a few days of hard work outside. Unexpectedly, their guides left them for a better time. By the time they reacted and wanted their guide back, their guides were not cheap anymore, and refused to go home with the sentinel.
Many sentinels like this change very much. Originally, there were few guides, and it was difficult for them to find a guide. Now a large number of guides have divorced and are single again, and they have another chance…
The sudden divorce fever also spread to the aristocratic circle. Many guides who seemed to be close to their own sentinels, but were only making do, gained infinite courage from it and chose to divorce.
Zhuo Yang was quite stunned to find out. He couldn’t imagine that so many sentinels in Osphia that their guides were dissatisfied with across all of Osphia.
Under Chu Lie’s suggestion, the government set up a special “Freedom Contribution Award” for those guides who volunteered to help soldiers in the border before the call began. Their lives are difficult, but they have saved the lives of many border soldiers. These guides, who were unclear about the situation were invited a program group of a certain TV station of Emperor Star to praise and recognize them. They were seen as the “Top Ten People of the Year to Move Osphia” and “Great Figures of Influence and Change”.
Set them up as role models for the people to learn and respect.
After Zhuo Yang was interviewed by several programs, a program planning team aiming to promote guide and women’s rights felt that Zhuo Yang’s thoughts were very consistent with them. Given how eye-catching the status of the crown princess and royal family is, if he participated and shared his opinion, they tentatively sent an email inviting Zhuo Yang to the program. It will certainly make a great impact in promoting guide and women’s rights if he attends.
At the beginning of the email, the program planner just asked tentatively. He didn’t expect Zhuo Yang to really come to participate in their show, and didn’t actually expect the crown princess to see the email.
But unexpectedly, by chance, Zhuo Yang saw this email when he was sorting his mailbox.
“Do you want to accept the invitation to participate in this show?” Moodys asked Zhuo Yang when he saw Zhuo Yang reading this email carefully, and took a look.
Zhuo Yang raised his lips with interest. “I think it’s a little bit interesting. If this program has a good response and arouses the audience’s love, I think it should be able to help the royal family’s image and increase popular support…”
“After all, the credibility of the royal family and government has long been inferior in the eyes of the public. This can be a good opportunity to redeem it.” He added.
The implication is that he is very interested and eager to accept the invitation to participate.
Moodys looked at him, touching the short hairs on his temples with great indulgence. “If you want to go, you can go.”
“I really want to go, but I’m just afraid of the Elder Council and Cabinet…” Zhuo Yang frowned with a headache.
The Elder Council and Cabinet are quite strict. They are in charge of the words and deeds of the royal family members outside. A princess’s dress was too exposing a few decades ago, and the two forced combined and accused her for a long time of corrupting the image of the royal family.
And he, the crown princess, now wants to participate in the show like a star. The cabinet and elders are so old-fashioned, can you agree?
“The times have changed. It’s time for those old-fashioned people to change those ideas which are accumulating dust.” Moodys can be said to be very indulgent, to the point of omnipotence. “Go if you want. Don’t worry about the rest. Just leave it to me to deal with the cabinet and elders.”
Zhuo Yang smiled immediately. “Okay.”
With the promise and support of the crown prince who could even settle those politicians and family heads when proposing such reforms, Zhuo Yang immediately became unscrupulous. He became the first member of the royal family to appear on an entertainment program in Osphia’s history, exposing his own life as a member of the royal family to everyone.
The entire image of the noble and glamorous Osphia royal family instantly became grounded and approachable.
It is also more popular among the people.
“I don’t agree. Because of marriage, sentinels and men who are more physically violent at home get a reduced sentence after beating their spouses to death, are forgiven by the law, and tried as manslaughter and not sentenced to death. It’s unfair for guides and women. Even if, commutation and forgiveness can be given due to their marriage relationship, they should be treated equally. Women should not be weaker than men. Therefore, if a wife kills her husband in a marriage, it is deemed to be a deliberate murder and sentenced to death. The husband’s killing of his wife is careless, it is an excessive murder. This kind of marriage law has no guarantee for women…” Zhuo Yang put forward a lot of suggestions on how to improve the country’s laws in the show. “I suggest, the next time this kind of thing is tried, they can consider this aspect. Regardless of marital relationship, killing someone, both men and women can be sentenced to death. Or, because of marital relationship, everyone will have lightened sentences and forgiven, without the death penalty. “
“Also, parents can kill their children without going to jail, or can get a reduction in punishment. I think this should be improved. Because of a parent-child relationship, you should not have the right to kill, and are ignored. Children have always belonged to their parents.” he said.
Zhuo Yang loved to follow many cases in civilian circles, and observed many shortcomings in the existing laws. “Also, in the case of underage rape, even rape and murder, I also think the law should make improvements. These criminals should not be commuted or escape death penalty just because they are minors… Since we have the ability to rape or even rape and kill others, then we should not treat such people as children nor treat them as minors.”
“Then, regarding the privileges enjoyed by the nobility, when committing certain criminal acts, the punishment can be commuted and pardoned because of their noble status. In fact, my personal view is not very acceptable – even in the ancient earth period, there was a saying that “a prince breaking the law has the same guilt as the common people”. Now why should we protect these nobles? Yes, they are nobles, including myself, who have inherited the shadow of their ancestors. Their ancestors were powerful and great people, but do not represent whether their descendants will not be scum.”
Zhuo Yang already has a lot of fans. As soon as the show was broadcast on more than 100 planets, it it will be a hit.
In addition, most of his speeches are morally sound and upright. Although he is a nobleman, his ideology is different from that of other nobles. Most of them speak from the perspective of civilians, weaker guides, women, and speak for them.
After several episodes of the show, his remarks were immediately praised and echoed by the public.
And he himself, because of the broadcast and his extremely positive speech and three views, grained fans like crazy. His popularity soared, and even has a vague trend of catching up with Moodys.
Because Zhuo Yang’s speech spoke out the aspirations of most ordinary people, women, and disadvantaged groups – shortly after the show was broadcast, the people also affectionately referred to him as the “People’s Crown Princess” online.
The words and deeds of the crown princess represented the royal family and crown prince’s attitude in the eyes of many. Therefore, Zhuo Yang’s public speech also affected many planets, regarding his words as the crown prince’s intent.
Therefore, on several planets with cases of “husband beating wife to death by domestic violence”, “parents killing young children”, “minor rape and murder” and some cases involving nobles, mentioned by Zhuo Yang, the governors no longer dared to judge lightly, favoring men, irresponsible parents, or nobles as they did in the past. Instead, they cautiously pursued the meaning of those above, severely sentencing the offenders who had previously had opportunities for commutated sentences under the law.
These cases have attracted the attention of the whole population. After Zhuo Yang went on the show and displayed a satisfactory result to everyone, the public praise for Zhuo Yang and Moodys became higher, and more trusting.
The families of the victims who were wronged and had nowhere to sue are also grateful for Zhuo Yang’s policy were extremely thankful towards the crown prince.
Many people left messages saying that because of the existence of people like the crown prince and princess, they saw the value of the royal family and saw the hope and future of this empire.
Everyone believed that Moodys and Zhuo Yang would lead them to a better tomorrow.

“How could this happen? How is this Zhuo Yang so lucky? Why is everyone praising him and scolding me?” Seeing the praise Zhuo Yang being praised by almost everyone online, Rand couldn’t help but get angry again, throwing thing around.
Mrs. Jenny smiled and touched Rand’s head, and said softly: “Child, don’t worry. This ‘people’s princess’ can stay proud of him for a few days, and then his people will abandon him… Wait until everyone sees his true features exposed. He will betray his relatives, his mask will be broken, and his reputation will be infamous.”
She has already grasped Zhuo Yang’s handle. Destroying Zhuo Yang is just around the corner.
“Auntie, do you have a way to deal with Zhuo Yang?” Rand looked at Mrs. Jenny expectantly.
Mrs. Jenny smiled very deeply as she said, “Wait. You can bear this with me for a few more days. Pretend to be good for a while longer, and soon this painting of Zhuo Yang will fall off and be exposed to everyone.”
She is full of confidence.
“Okay, auntie.” After listening to her, Rand, who had been restless, immediately calmed down.

The aristocratic circle of the imperial capital often has various evening parties. As a social expert, Changdi Qing is the most enthusiastic about holding and organizing various evening parties.
Before Zhuo Yang got married, he didn’t even have the qualifications to participate in such a dinner because of the declining Zhuo family.
Even if the Zhuo family had the chance to participate in this kind of banquet, the priority was always given to Zhuo Yu.
Zhuo Yang once yearned to attend such a banquet, because invitations to them were a symbol of identity and status, and a good opportunity to get acquainted with other dignitaries. But after getting such an opportunity, he was very busy and didn’t have time at all, nor the intention to attend such a banquet.
After going to several of them, he felt that such banquets are not interesting at all. It is better to save time at home and be with Moodys.
But even if he feels bored, with his status, there are always a lot of people inviting to him such banquets.
Zhuo Yang didn’t want to go anymore, but he had to go once or twice.
After attending a show, dealing with things, and obligatorily helping a few mentally disordered sentinels, Zhuo Yang took a shower. He didn’t even have time to meet with Moodys for a break, before hurrying to the banquet.
“Come, Your Highness, come to my side.” The host of this banquet was Changdi Qing, Dean. When saw Zhuo Yang enter, he immediately greeted him warmly.
Zhuo Yang stepped forward with a smile and donned the mask of the crown princess, to deal with Dean’s enthusiasm for gossip. “Little uncle.”
Dean, Changdi Qing, is a social expert. No one will feel unhappy after talking to him, and Zhuo Yang is the same.
“Your Highness’s outfit tonight is really beautiful. In the entire banquet hall, there isn’t anyone more beautiful than Your Highness.” Dean smiled and took Zhuo Yang’s hand, as if he liked this nephew very much.
Zhuo Yang smiled shyly. “Where, little uncle exaggerates. I’m just wearing something casually.”
“How did I exaggerate? Dressing casually, and it’s on the top fashion magazine in Osphia. Now those fashionistas are all following your attire.” Dean complimented.
Zhuo Yang didn’t know about it. “Is it? I don’t read a lot of fashion magazines, and I don’t have time to read it. I really don’t know. In fact, these clothes are matched by the butler and the clothing team. As long as I can wear it without being embarrassment or being conspicuous, I will wear it.”
“This is because you are young and good-looking, so you look good in everything. Unlike me, who is already old.” Dean poured a cup of wine.
Zhuo Yang gently held the wine cup. “How so? Little uncle, when the two of us go out together, I’m afraid everyone will think that we are the same size? If you say you are old, in the entire Osphia, there might be no one that dares say they’re young.”
Changdi Qing is indeed very well maintained, and his age can’t be seen.
Even if he is over a hundred years old, he is still the dream lover in the minds of many sentinels on Emperor Star.
Dean, Changdi Qing, smiled. He did not speak, obviously not taking Zhuo Yang’s childish words to heart.
Zhuo Yang picked up the wine glass and took a sip of red wine. He only felt that the taste was very good, sweet and fruity. His hands are very beautiful, white as jade, and the knuckles of his fingers are like a handful of slender onions.
“His Royal Highness reminded me of an old person.” Changdi Qing stared at Zhuo Yang for a while, as if he had thought of something, and said with emotion.
Zhuo Yang looked up at him in surprise.
Dean took it upon himself to explain. “Thinking back, after living for more than a hundred years, only their demeanor can be compared to His Royal Highness.”
“Who is it? I don’t know, have I seen them before?” Zhuo Yang was a little curious.
It wasn’t that he was arrogant. He really had never met anyone who could compete with him in appearance.
Such beauties should be very rare.
“It’s an old friend of mine…” Changdi Qing seemed to think of something in the past. His eyes were slightly red, and he paused for a while before saying, “Their wife.”
Zhuo Yang was stunned.
Changdi Qing wiped the tears from the corner of his eyes. “Sorry, Your Highness, do you mind if you compare you to a lady?”
“It’s okay.” Zhuo Yang didn’t think it was anything, and joked: “Perhaps good-looking people always have something in common. But I don’t know where is this wife of little uncle’s friend?”
People always wants to see peerless beauties.
“Gone.” Changdi Qing’s voice almost choked up. “When I was young, I still admired him. His wife really is the moonlight wind, with majestic grace, and an appearance bright and soft as the moonlight, just like goddess of the moonlight. Really makes me feel ashamed at first glance.”
Changdi Qing is already quite a well-known beauty in Emperor Star. Zhuo Yang really could not imagine how beautiful a person had to be to make him feel ashamed and filthy.
Zhuo Yang was stunned. He suddenly reacted to something and blurted out: “Is the deceased little uncle is talking about surnamed Xue?”
He originally wanted to ask if it was Marshal Xue, Mrs. Xue… But thinking how the empire convicted Xue Zhanting back then. After his name has not be cleared, and it is no longer suitable to call Xue Zhanting a marshal, so he changed his words…
Zhuo Yang had heard Moodys mention Changdi Qing admired Marshal Xue when he was young. He also heard that when the Xue family had an accident, Changdi Qing repeatedly kneeled in front of the emperor’s palace to plead for the Xue family, but he was helpless and unable to change his brother’s attitude and thoughts, which was really regrettable.
“It turns out that Your Highness knows him. I thought you juniors didn’t know them anymore?” Changdi Qing’s tone was rather regretful. “It’s really a pity – he and his wife, a hero and beauty, a heavenly match.”
Zhuo Yang heard of Marshal Xue’s outstanding appearance and achievements before, but never heard his wife being such a beautiful woman.
Pity.
However, even if regretful, Zhuo Yang was never acquainted with the marshal and his wife who have been dead for 50 years.
As a person who listened to the story, he could only comfort the Changdi Qing who was a close friend of Marshal Xue and his wife. “The deceased is dead, and little uncle should not be too sad.I believe that your deceased couple also hopes that you can live a good life. Don’t be sad for them.”
“…If they still have descendants, it would be fine. If they have descendants, I am willing to raise them for them.” After a while, Dean said.
At this time, Zhuo Yang couldn’t say anything other than silence.
The banquet lasted a long time.
Zhuo Yang was talking to the last person he should greet. After greeting them, he lowered his head and glanced at the time, ready to leave. At this moment, someone stopped him with a solemn expression.
It is the Fang’s family, Miss Fang Yunzhi.
Fang Yunzhi was looking at him with a complicated expression, her face full of hesitation.
“What’s wrong? Miss Fang.” Zhuo Yang had a good impression of the girl, so he took the initiative to say hello.
Fang Yunzhi took a deep breath. Looking around and seeing many people talking, she said to Zhuo Yang in a rather cold tone, “Your Highness, is it convenient for you to take a step to speak?”
She was asking, but her tone was not so soft…
“Yes.” Although Zhuo Yang didn’t know what was going on, he still agreed with a smile.
When the two moved to a remote place, Fang Yunzhi took a deep breath. She didn’t know how much courage she had to summon Zhuo Yang. “Your Highness, I don’t care how you designed to marry His Royal Highness or what purpose you have. Whoever it is from the bottom of your heart you really love… I just hope you will never be sorry, and betray His Royal Highness…”
“Otherwise, I will never let you go. I will definitely stand up and expose you.” Fang Yunzhi clenched her fists with both hands. Her nails were pinched into flesh unconsciously, as if she was facing such a terrible person.
She was a little frightened, but still forced herself to be tough…
Zhuo Yang frowned, his face was unclear, so he asked: “Miss Fang, I don’t understand what you are talking about.”
He has countless, unpredictable schemes, but this time he was really at a loss.
“Your Highness needn’t try to understand and pretend to be confused. If you don’t know, you can’t do anything. I already know the things you have done before, as well as those things about you and the Secretary General. I haven’t told His Royal Highness, and I hope you can converge a little in the future and disconnect from those things in the past… I can see that His Royal Highness loves you very much, and I hope you don’t hurt him.” Fang Yunzhi threatened: “If I find out you have hurt His Royal Highness in the future, I will tell him everything and will not let your conspiracy succeed. At that time, you will have nothing.”
Zhuo Yang frowned, and just wanted to explain something to her: “Miss Fang…”
“I hope Your Highness will do it for himself in the future.” Fang Yunzhi dropped these words and ran away.
Zhuo Yang: “…”
Zhuo Yang stood still, frowning unconsciously.
