MTL - My Stepmother is Soft and Charming-Chapter 532 old and new ministers
While the mother and daughter were talking, they saw their elder sisters-in-law Liu and Mrs. Li walking over.
He then invited the two of them to join the conversation. Compared to Du Jingxiang's embarrassment, Mrs. Du was very comfortable, and 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 could not avoid the current fashionable materials and popular makeup. Gu Shaoyu was on the other side, and they were also talking about similar topics, except that most of the topics they talked about were affairs in the DPRK.
“Now that the general has returned, all the military generals in the DPRK are very excited, and they are 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 others. 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."
Of 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 the past few years, so those who used to be around Guo Xiang are now standing beside Gu Shaoyu, as if they have found a backbone.
Opposite him is the surrendered Marquis Dingping. He refuses to admit defeat. He has been following 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 sought after by some people, so there are many people standing around him. The two sides are so divided and facing each other, which seems to be a bit of a narrowing of the situation between North Korea and China.
Gu Shaoyu remained as still as a mountain, while 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 make a few noises first.
"Your Majesty has been talking about it every day during your absence 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 people to be provocative when they come up like this, so what kind of power has the Jia family gained?
"Whether one respects loyalty or not, it all depends on oneself. What does it have to do with others?"
With just one sentence, Marquis Dingping's expression dropped. If the timing hadn't been wrong, he would have gotten angry on the spot.
“General Gu is really a high-ranking official who can crush people to death, and his words are really not lenient at all.”
“The Marquis 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 each other.
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. .
Hooking Gu Shaoyu, they walked to the waterside pavilion, an unobtrusive place. Ping'er raised his eyebrows and looked around worriedly, and then he saw Guo Silang also whispering angrily and dissatisfiedly.
"Sixth brother should be careful. It is better to offend the king of **** than to offend the little devil. This Dingpinghou used to be different from us. Now he has become the humerus of the new dynasty. He even has to be tough when he speaks. 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 recounted 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 always been on my lips, and it was even more abominable 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 I disagreed and reprimanded the Marquis of Dingping. But my grandfather wrote a memorial after he returned. If it weren’t for us useless descendants, I’m afraid the memorial to resign would have been handed over.”
Mentioning these, Guo Silang felt like he was 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 didn't say anything.
In the past three years, he has truly resigned from office and has never interfered in the people and affairs of the government. However, this does not mean that he has no eyes and ears and has no idea what is happening in the government. Therefore, what Guo Silang just said is also true of him. I've known it for a long time.
It's just that he can't interfere, and he can't interfere.
Because Prime Minister Guo had warned him long ago not to do things that would damage the dignity of the royal family, so in the past three years, he has really been keeping a low profile and biding his time.
The Marquis of Dingping, they say he dances happily, but he is just a clown on the stage. The real person behind it is the emperor they support.
Now that he has ascended to the throne, he naturally has to cultivate his own strength, but it is a bit heartbreaking. Fortunately, Gu Shaoyu has been mentally prepared for a long time, but Guo Xiang is the direct grandfather of the current emperor, and such a relationship cannot be compared. A Dingpinghou who surrendered halfway?
This is something Gu Shaoyu didn't expect.
It's a pity that he has been working hard for decades, and when he is old, he is treated like this by the people who support him.
It makes me feel chilly just thinking about it.
“How is Grandpa Guo’s health?”
“He has been suffering from illness, and he has been taking medicine to treat it, but the doctor also said that most of his illnesses are caused by worry, and he must calm down to recover completely.”
“It’s not possible to meditate anymore, but you go back and tell Grandpa Guo that I will visit his old man another day and let him take good care of him first.”
