Chapter 20 My father is Zhou Shoufu!

During Song Lanyi's "sleep", the matter of Dingyuan's siege seemed to have been settled.

But for the big shots in Shangjing... the storm has just started.

In the state capital near Dingyuan City, a young man wearing a scarf and dressed as a scholar looked at the secret report in his hand with an extremely ugly expression.

"These dog officials, what do you eat? Vegetarian meals in the corpses! Disregarding human lives! Even the big event of Dingyuan being besieged, I didn't know until now! Ben... If I was still in Beijing, I would probably think that it was because of me. The border is still a peaceful scene of singing and dancing!"

The eunuch Feng Dequan at the side faltered a few times, "Xu is...Xu is the Lord of Jingcheng, who was temporarily delayed by other things."

Zhu Xulin snorted coldly, "Big Companion doesn't need to say anything for them. I know what they are thinking. This Jingcheng General Qi is a disciple of Yang Ge's old seat."

"Mr. Yang Ge has always adopted a policy of appeasement towards the monsters, focusing on appeasement and rewards. But in recent years, Uncle Ming, as a staunch main fighter, has been resisting the pressure from the court and resolutely fighting against the monsters."

After finishing speaking, he sneered, "I'm afraid... Jingcheng doesn't provide reinforcements, because some people deliberately hope that Uncle Ming will stumble."

Isn't the matter above the court just one ebb and flow?
Hearing these words, Feng Dequan lowered his head deeply, and after a while, he finally said, "That... is the old man after all."

Unexpectedly, this sentence aroused the injustice in Zhu Xulin's heart. He looked coldly, "Ge Lao?! Could it be that Ge Lao is a human being, and I'm not a human being if I work hard on the people of the world? Could it be that this Shuobei frontier Aren't the soldiers and civilians who guard Dagan not human?"

After finishing speaking, he seemed to have thought of something, his shoulders slumped, and he lowered his head in a slumped manner, "Yeah...it's different...some people are born rich and noble, just like me...but, how much I want to , this world can change."

Hearing the last sentence, Feng Dequan's entire scalp was about to explode.

His sharp voice even cracked because of panic and deliberately lowering it.

"Your Highness, be careful with your words!"

"Be careful, be careful! Is this world the world of the princes in the court, or the world of my Zhu family?"

Full of anger, Zhu Xulin raised the whip, straddled the horse, and whipped out of the city.

And the direction he was going... was the direction of Dingyuan City.

In the capital.

It was still a bright morning.

But on the street, restaurants selling wonton noodles have opened early.

From time to time, white mist curled up from the side of the street.

People also gradually appeared at the selling points of newspapers.

Most of the scholars hold a newspaper in their hands, take soybean milk and fried dough sticks, go round and round, come to the teahouse again, make a cup of green tea, wait for the breakfast to fall into their stomachs, and drink a cup of tea carefully two.

But today, the storyteller has not yet arrived, and there are already discussions in the teahouse.

In a corner of the teahouse, the woman wearing a veiled hat last time slowly spread out the newspaper in her hand.

The moment you open it, you will see a few large characters - "Dingyuan Great Victory!"

She frowned slightly, and continued to read, the further she read, the deeper her frown became.

The tea drinkers in other places had already started communicating in low voices, and they were indescribably excited.

"Ming Wang has a clever plan. Even if the monsters were prepared, he was able to invite the Saint of Hundred Flowers. This time, we have defeated the enemy army, and our country will be magnificent. I will definitely be able to deter the monsters for a while."

"Extremely, extremely, there is a wonderful thing recorded in this paper. Last time, the little Song girl actually shouted in front of the battle this time, and even wrote a Qingyun poem. Once Qingyun's poem comes out, I am afraid that most of the people in the world will All Taoists should worship him as a half teacher!"

Just as they were discussing, the woman in the veiled hat suddenly snorted coldly.

She could only hear her cold voice, "Defeat the enemy army? Shock the monsters? The country's prestige? Humph! I'm afraid the monsters have already seen my intention of being weak this time, and I'm afraid they are still secretly laughing!"

When the people around heard this sentence, they were a little unhappy at first, but then they became a little puzzled. They cupped their hands politely, and asked politely, "What do you mean, Miss?"

The woman in the veiled hat turned around slowly, and said in a low voice, "I mean, is the Shuobei frontier fortress just a Dingyuan city? Why hasn't there been any news about Jingcheng and Yancheng for such a long time? It takes today, and newspapers are needed to sing praises and whitewash peace!"

These words made everyone stunned and did not dare to speak out.

The woman in the veil hat snorted lightly, "You don't dare to say it, but I dare to say it. It's nothing more than the commander-in-chief of Jingcheng and Yancheng, and it's old Yang Ge, that is, Yang Yanting's lackey!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the teahouse changed color.

Who is Yang Yanting?
That's one of the elders of the cabinet!
There are four cabinet elders in the cabinet, two elders and Xi Ni, and the ones who really have real power are in their hands, namely Yang Gelao and Zhou Shoufu.

Although Taizu dismissed the prime minister, but today, the cabinet boss has already had the power comparable to the prime minister.

Dare to scold Mr. Ge on the street?
That's courting death!
The scholar at the head let out a wry smile, opened his mouth, and finally could only say, "Ma'am, please be careful with your words."

The woman took off her veiled hat and put down a piece of silver on the table, "I'm calling Zhou Xi, if Yang Pifu has any dissatisfaction, just look for me!"

After speaking, she took the newspaper and turned to leave.

Someone behind finally chanted the name, frowning, and muttering incessantly.

After thinking for a while, someone finally exclaimed, "Zhou Xi? Isn't this the granddaughter of Zhou Shoufu's family?"

Zhou Shoufu...

That's fine.

People are people with background.

Take a rest today.

But in front of Old Yang Ge's mansion, there are always sedan chairs coming and going.

In the courtyard, a row of officials in light blue round collar robes with hanging sleeves stood under the eaves.

Beads of sweat rolled down their foreheads.

In the room, a thin, hale and hearty old man was holding a book in his hand. He read the book extremely fast, almost reading ten lines at a glance.

He was the famous old man Yang Ge, Yang Yanting.

The servant next to him kept his eyes on his nose, his nose on his heart, and stood aside.

It wasn't until the old man placed the teacup in his hand on the table that the servant graciously replaced the cold tea.

"Master, those people outside the door...are they really missing?"

Yang Yanting said in a low voice, "It's not that I can't, but I don't want to. As the commander-in-chief of one side, they dare to specialize in such a big matter as the monster oppression. If they dare to do this today, what if they are promoted to a high position in the future? Isn't it true? Don't they look down on the entire Dagan people?"

"Everyone knows that I, Yang Yanting, implement a policy of appeasement, but who knows what I really mean?"

"I can take a step back and give in, but the lives of the people of Dagan are the only red line! This line cannot be touched by anyone!"

 Old Yang Ge: mmp, what a big pot!

  Today's update has arrived, let's eat mooncakes~
