Chapter 84: Invited

In the court, the chief of Ge Shang Pavilion argued vigorously.

"Isn't it ridiculous for a small soldier to become a general?" General Ye said.

"I'm afraid General Ye has forgotten that after decades of fighting, he has never taken back Gucheng!" Pavilion Chief Ge Shang mocked.

"You...hum!" General Ye choked.

"Captain Yun is qualified to be called a general!" Chief Ge Shangting said.

"The king is undesirable! I don't agree!" General Ye said.

Everyone from his faction all seconded the proposal and directly forced the king of the palace! Yu Ze has experienced this kind of thing countless times. The title of Lord of the Liang has never been his from the beginning. It's time for this blood to be changed.

"Quiet!" Yuze shouted to his father-in-law.

"Everyone in the Guan Nei Hou class has made meritorious service and should be rewarded! If not rewarded, will we still be punished?" Yuze said majestically.

"Rewards are due! But... the general's position is too high. He only needs to serve as an advisor and get a third-level reward!" Old General Ye said.

"Then let me ask General Ye. The Ye family has been attacking Gucheng for decades and has not regained it. How to calculate it? Should we be punished?" Yuze changed his usual compromise and said.

"this……"

"Your Majesty! General Ye and his family have worked hard to defend Daliang without any credit!"

"yes!"

After a while, all the ministers pleaded for the Ye family again.

"I am not a foolish king! I know how much the Ye family has contributed to the country. I will reward you and plan for it. Ten days later, a celebration banquet will be held in the palace!" After Yu Ze finished speaking, he waved his hand to signal his retreat!

"Retreat!" the father-in-law shouted.

"This king is really determined to have his own way!"

"Who says it's not the case? Do you want to take care of yourself?" After retreating from the court, several petty officials gathered together and whispered.

If you want to start your own business, abandon the Ye family! snort! Idiot's dream! General Ye thought to himself, don't forget who helped you up. If he can help you up, he can pull you down.

In Shangshu's mansion.

"Where has Ling Xiao been fooling around these days!" Master Shangshu asked the servant.

"Replying to the master, the young master has met... a woman these days, and he stays with that woman all the time." The servant replied. This person was specially sent by Shangshu to monitor his son, because his son had been kidnapped once before. After that, he ordered people to follow his son secretly to prevent another incident.

"Go! Find out the origin of that woman!" Shangshu said.

"yes!"

Yuzhu and Lingxiao were resting in a teahouse. There were surprisingly few people on the first floor, and a lively quarrel could be heard faintly on the second floor.

Yuzhu asked curiously: "Why is the second floor so busy? Why do everyone only go to the second floor to drink tea and not the first floor?"

Ling Xiao said: "There should be a debate competition held today! Everyone has gone to watch it!"

"Let's go take a look too!" Yuzhu said.

"There's nothing interesting to see on Yuzhu. It's quite boring for a group of so-called literati to hang out there! I'll take you to see something else!" Ling Xiao said.

"But I still want to take a look!" Yuzhu said.

"good!"

There were people of all ages and genders gathered in the lobby on the second floor. This was a debate competition held every few days for literati. It was divided into two teams, and people from each team stepped forward to debate.

Yuzhu and Lingxiao arrived later and were blocked from the outside, unable to squeeze in.

"It seems we can't get in! We can only listen here!" Yuzhu said.

"Whether the king of the country is more important or the people is more important!"

"Of course you are the most important! Without a wise king, how can there be peace in the world?"

"No! Where does the country come from without its people?"

"There's something wrong with this question!" Ling Xiao shouted inside.

"Who's there?"

"it's me!"

Following the sound, everyone moved out of the way for Ling Xiao and Yu Zhu. Yu Zhu looked at Ling Xiao in shock.

Ling Xiao comforted him softly: "It's okay!"

They also arrived in Liwei smoothly. "What does this young master have to say?" one of them asked.

"He said the people are important! I think what he said is quite right! That person also said that the king is important, and I think that person was quite right! Isn't this a problem?" Ling Xiao pretended to be ignorant.

"I'm afraid this young man has never seen a debate. Take a good look and listen today and you will know if something is wrong!"

"Okay! Let's listen carefully!" Ling Xiao said sincerely.

Yuzhu was also surprised. They just came inside to listen? She suddenly felt that this person was a bit incredible.

The two teams debated with red faces and almost wanted to cheer up when they spoke excitedly.

"Which one of them do you think will win?" Yuzhu asked.

"Common!" Ling Xiao said.

As Ling Xiao expected, the team talking about Min won.

"Your guess is really accurate!" Yuzhu said.

"We are all citizens, and we hope to have a wise monarch. We unconsciously think that the people are more important," Ling Xiao said.

"In your opinion, which of the two is more important?" Yuzhu asked.

"I think the two are interdependent. From the people's point of view, they need a wise monarch, and from the king's point of view, they also need the approval of the people! Once one is missing, neither will exist!" Ling Xiao road.

"It's better to listen to a bunch of nonsense from literati than to listen to what you have to say!" Yuzhu sighed.

"You really think highly of me. In the eyes of others, I am just a playboy!" Ling Xiao said.

"Who said that! I think you are much better than the literati in that room. You are just being cynical on the surface!" Yuzhu said.

"Really? My dream is to be a swinger and live happily every day!" Ling Xiao said.

Yuzhu looked at Ling Xiao and couldn't help but think of the time when her sister was still alive and she skipped classes every day to have fun and she was a little distracted.

"Yuzhu?" Ling Xiao said, calling Yuzhu back.

"Forehead?"

"Do you think I'm a little unreliable?" Ling Xiao asked.

"No!" Yuzhu said.

"If you want me to become an official, I can take the exam and get the honors!" Ling Xiao said.

"Do you want to become an official?" Yuzhu said.

"I don't care. If you want me to go, I will go! I don't want you to think that I am not motivated!" Ling Xiao said.

"If you don't like it, don't go! I can't force you to do something you don't like! No one can do it!" Yuzhu said.

"Thank you! Yuzhu!" Ling Xiao said happily.

"Why are you thanking me?" Yuzhu was puzzled.

The next day, a man came to her out of nowhere and said that he wanted to invite her to see their master.

"Miss, please!"

"Who are you? Why should I follow you?" Yuzhu said.

"My master is the Minister!"

"What does it have to do with me!" Yuzhu said.

"Do you know Master Lingxiao?"

"We know you!" Yuzhu said.

"Shang Shu is the father of Young Master Ling Xiao!"

"Ling Xiao's father is looking for me?" Yuzhu asked.

"Miss, please get in the carriage!"

Although Yuzhu was confused, he still followed the servant to Shangshu Mansion.
