Chapter 532 New and Old Ministers
While the mother and daughter were talking, they saw their elder sisters-in-law Liu and Mrs. Li walking over.
Then the two of them were invited to join the conversation. Compared to Du Jingxiang's embarrassment, Mrs. Du was very comfortable. In addition, she was also very interesting when talking, so after a while, the atmosphere here was even worse than before.
The women were chatting, and the topics couldn't revolve around today's fashionable materials and popular makeup. Gu Shaoyu was on the other side, and they were also talking about similar topics, but most of the topics they talked about were affairs in the DPRK.
"Now that the general has returned, the generals in the DPRK are all excited, looking forward to seeing the glory of the Tiger and Ben Army again."
"Shaoyu is just a martial artist. He shouldn't be treated like this by everyone. But the sons of the Li family are all outstanding. Even if I am not in the court, I have heard many things about them."
Among the sons of the Li family who were named, the literary ones were better off, but the martial arts ones were all excited. It was a big deal to get a compliment from Gu Shaoyu.
Ping'er, who was among them, was also very proud. After all, this was his sixth uncle. He was now working with his father-in-law and brothers-in-law in the court, so he naturally knew how prestigious Gu Shaoyu was. sharp.
However, while others were excited, Gu Shaoyu was still as calm as before.
Guo Xiang is getting older and has rarely appeared on such occasions in recent years, so those who used to be around Guo Xiang are now standing beside Gu Shaoyu, as if they have found a backbone. ơɱ
Opposing him is the surrendered Marquis Dingping. He refuses to admit defeat. He has been with the emperor in recent years and has climbed up a lot. Therefore, he is now a popular person in front of His Majesty.
Since he is a famous person, he is naturally followed by people, so there are many people standing around him. With the two sides facing off like this, it seems that the situation between North Korea and China is somewhat shrinking.
Gu Shaoyu remained motionless, but the Marquis of Dingping came over when he saw Gu Shaoyu. It is a basic rule to say hello when meeting.
"General Gu."
"Master Hou."
Both of them are powerful people in the court now, and they naturally feel as if they are swallowing up mountains and rivers when they speak. However, although Gu Shaoyu has fulfilled his filial piety, he has not officially returned to the court, so of course the Marquis of Dingping has to shout a few times first.
"Your Majesty has been talking about it every day for the past few years since you were absent from the court. Now that you are back and want to regain power, you must give us old people a chance so that we can respect and be loyal in front of His Majesty. Woolen cloth."
The words of Marquis Dingping made Gu Shaoyu couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
It is really rare for someone to be provocative like this, so what kind of power does the Jia family have? They just say what they say, and they are so angry.
"Whether you respect loyalty or not, it all depends on yourself. What does it have to do with others?"
With just one sentence, Marquis Dingping's expression collapsed. If it weren't for the wrong timing, he would probably get angry on the spot.
"General Gu is really a high-ranking official who can overwhelm others. His words are really not lenient at all."
"Master Hou is very old, isn't he also very eloquent?"
The two of them were talking to each other, which made the situation tense. Today was the Li family's home court, so naturally they wouldn't really make a noise, so they tried to comfort them.
Mr. Li winked at his son-in-law and immediately asked Ping'er and Guo Silang to take Gu Shaoyu away. As for the Marquis of Dingping, he went to accompany him in person, so the fire was extinguished before it was raised. .
Pulling Gu Shaoyu, they walked to the waterside pavilion, an unobtrusive place.
Ping'er raised his eyebrows and looked around worriedly, and then saw Guo Silang also whispering angrily and dissatisfied.
"Sixth brother should be careful. It is better to offend the king of hell than to offend the little devil. This Dingpinghou used to be different from us, but now he has become the humerus of the new dynasty. Even his words have to be tough. Carefully, he will speak in front of your majesty. I’ll give you some shoes to wear.”
"What's the meaning?"
Guo Silang snorted twice and told what happened in the past few days.
"Obviously they are all people working under His Majesty. They insist on joining forces with Concubine Zhen's family and those who have emerged in the past two years to create a confrontation between new and old ministers. My grandfather was the one who was angry with him. Yue Decoction has never left my mouth, and it was even more disgusting yesterday. I directly told the superior that I wanted my grandfather to abdicate in favor of someone worthy of his throne. Damn, I dare you to say that my grandfather has stepped down, can he still come up? "
Hearing this, Gu Shaoyu's face turned ugly.
Regardless of Prime Minister Guo's achievements, even the elders of the three dynasties were not able to be treated like this by the Marquis of Dingping.
"What did your Majesty say?"
"Of course he disagreed and reprimanded Marquis Dingping. But my grandfather wrote a memorial after he returned. If it weren't for us, our incompetent descendants, I'm afraid that the memorial to resign would have been handed over."
Mentioning these, Guo Silang felt like gnashing his teeth, but his status in the court was not as good as that of Dingping Marquis, so he was often powerless.
"Dingping Hou has been favored by the Holy Spirit in recent years, and even the people he supported have become a counterweight in the court. My grandfather wanted to reform, but they did not agree. This matter did not succeed, so Sixth Brother, you are now Now that we are back, we now have a backbone to rely on. Let’s see if those people who blindly follow Dingpinghou Mansion are blind!”
Guo Silang cursed fiercely, but Gu Shaoyu did not speak.
In the past three years, he has truly resigned from his post and stayed at home, and has not interfered with the people and things in the court, but it does not mean that he has no eyes and ears, and is completely unaware of what is happening in the court, so he has long known what Guo Silang just said.
However, he cannot interfere, and cannot interfere.
Because Prime Minister Guo had reminded him early on not to do things that would damage the dignity of the royal family, so in the past three years, he has been a person who is truly keeping a low profile.
Lord Dingping, it is said that he dances happily, but he is just a clown in front of the stage. The real person behind the scenes is still the emperor they support.
Since he has come to power, he naturally needs to cultivate his own strength, but it is a bit chilling. Gu Shaoyu is fine, he has been mentally prepared for a long time, but Prime Minister Guo is the maternal grandfather of the current emperor. Such a relationship is not as good as a Marquis Dingping who surrendered halfway?
This is also something Gu Shaoyu did not expect.
It's a pity that he has worked diligently for decades, and when he is old, he was actually played by the person he supported.
It's chilling to think about it.
"Is Grandfather Guo in good health?"
"He has intermittent pains, and has been taking medicine to treat them. But the doctor also said that most of his illnesses are caused by worry, and he must calm down to recover completely."
"Calm down is impossible, but go back and tell Grandfather Guo that I will visit him another day, and let him take good care of himself first."
