Chapter 565: The descendant of Guiguzi challenges the descendant of Caolu!
The rewards from the palace flowed into the courtyard where Shen Yuantang lived like water, and the mother of the child who fell into the water also came to visit Shen Yuantang with precious medicinal herbs and generous gifts.
"Yuan Tang, thank you for saving the child!" When Hu Jinyu thought of how her Chengfeng looked when he was rescued, she began to tremble all over and cold sweat broke out on her palms.
"Sister-in-law, we are a family. I am the child's aunt. How can an aunt just watch them fall into the water? Take these gifts and herbs back for the child. I have so many gifts in this yard that I can't even store them all."
Hu Jinyu's face was filled with worry: "Don't say that. If it weren't for you, Chengfeng wouldn't be in any condition now. These gifts are of no use. Just take good care of yourself. When you recover, I'll thank you!"
Shen Yuantang's high fever had not yet subsided, and he closed his eyes tiredly.
"Yuan Tang is tired, let her have a good rest. Let's put the gifts down and come visit her again in a few days!"
“Okay, okay!”
The mother of the rescued child quickly obeyed and retreated.
After Huang Yu was fired, she also came to visit with gifts. However, the maid guarding the door stopped her from entering, saying that Shen Yuantang was not feeling well and was resting.
Huang Yu had a look of concern on his face. When he returned to the yard, he threw the gifts he had brought into the manure bucket.
The Shen family thought that Shen Lanxi would come to visit, after all, they were sisters from the same mother. Unfortunately, she didn't come.
The reason was something that the Shen family could understand when the express news came out later.
The imperial court is fighting a war with Tianjin. It is not an ordinary war, but a war using express news.
According to the Tianjin Express today, Shen Lanxi had long held a grudge against the royal family because the Shen family was exiled.
Today's court bulletin said that Zhou Ruyuan is blind and has a poor judgment of people, always mistaking fish eyes for pearls.
Two days later, the Tianjin Express reported that Shen Lanxi had evil ambitions and had been plotting against the imperial court for a long time!
The imperial court responded immediately, saying that Zhou Ruyuan was a fake god of war, but in reality he was a hopeless person!
Jinmen responded immediately, Shen Lanxi persecuted the prince, murdered loyal and good people, the hen crowed at dawn, and the treacherous and cunning were in power!
The imperial court responded immediately, saying that Zhou Ruyuan had suffered repeated defeats in battles, disregarded the lives of his soldiers, was cruel and ruthless, and treated the lives of his soldiers as worthless.
These contents are followed by empirical examples.
The Dali Temple, the Ministry of Justice, the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Personnel and the Wenyuan Pavilion discussed and wrote together. After deliberation, the content was finalized and three prime ministers were selected to review and finalize it before it was printed in the express.
Since the war of public opinion began, the format of court sessions has changed.
Dali Temple; "Yesterday, another express report came from Tianjin. The traitor fabricated his achievements and tried to vindicate himself. It was simply ridiculous."
Ministry of War: "Every battle, casualties, baggage, number of people on the battlefield, and how the battle was won are all recorded. The traitor actually deceived the public and defamed Your Majesty. This is simply unforgivable!"
"Rumors are more ferocious than tigers. Guarding against the people's mouths is harder than guarding against rivers. We must send out a quick report and fight back!"
"Just write that what the traitor said was all nonsense, and then copy the document recorded by the Ministry of War."
Wenyuan Pavilion: "I have to copy, but this counterattack is too soft, it must be sharper."
Ministry of Justice: "Write that Zhou Ruyuan shirked responsibility and colluded with foreign tribes after the incident was exposed."
"The charge of colluding with foreign races must be included. It is also a fact that he failed in command. Previously, people thought he was a prince and was protected by the late emperor, so he was not severely punished. This time, his crimes must be written in more detail!"
Shen Lanxi was very satisfied with the fact that the court officials were united in their attitude towards the outside world.
Jinmen fought back with express news, hoping to pass on the Caolu to his successors, which showed that he really had some skills.
Amid the heated verbal battle, Shen Lanxi sent letters one by one towards Dongchuan.
There was still no news from Jiang Wuya. With every day that passed, Shen Lanxi felt more depressed.
"Your Majesty, is there still no news from Tianjin?" Liu Yanhui asked with concern.
Shen Lanxi: "The people we sent out have already sneaked into Tianjin. I guess they are well prepared."
Liu Yanhui suggested, "Your Majesty, why don't you announce the news that Zhou Ruyuan's family was assassinated?"
She had been considering it before, for fear of making things worse.
"If Zhou Ruyuan's family members are exposed, Jiang Wuya will only be in greater danger."
Liu Yan replied: "Your Majesty is worried that this successor of Caolu does have some abilities."
Shen Lanxi's eyes lit up and she came up with an idea.
Two days later, the imperial court's express report stated that Guiguzi's successor Song Daoxi challenged Caolu's successor!
As soon as the news came out, it instantly overshadowed the previous war of words.
The people were tired of the verbal battle between the imperial court and Tianjin.
Now it is a legend challenging a legend, a fight like a fight between gods, and when the people talk about it, they are all full of fighting spirit.
Liu Yan smiled and said, "The sales of the Express newspaper had been declining in the past few days, but when the news of the gods' fight came out, the sales of the Express newspaper tripled."
Shen Lanxi, the imperial court, and the people are all waiting for Jinmen's response!
"Your Majesty, what if the heir of Caolu doesn't respond?"
Shen Lanxi said confidently: "He will agree."
Liu Yanhui wondered why His Majesty was so sure?
Probably only Yuan Lang could give this answer.
"Sir, do you want to respond?" Zhou Ruyuan asked.
Yuan Lang said firmly: "Yes!"
Zhou Ruyuan: "What if it's a trap?"
There was a gleam in Yuan Lang's eyes, but no one knew that he had long wanted to compete with the descendant of Guiguzi.
"Won't."
"Why are you so sure, sir?"
Yuan Lang said firmly: "Because the descendant of Guiguzi also wants to defeat me, the descendant of Caolu!"
As both of them were reclusive forces who claimed to be able to change the situation in the world, he didn't believe that Guigu had no desire to compete with him.
Zhou Ruyuan: "Sir, do you have a chance of winning?"
Yuan Lang glanced at Zhou Ruyuan and said, "Of course, we in Caolu are just like Guigu. Every time we come out, we do it to serve a wise master. It's just that because our Caolu has few people, we are overshadowed by Guigu."
"This is not just a contest between counselors, but also a contest between kings."
Zhou Ruyuan was shocked and immediately replied: "I will definitely not let you down!"
Zhou Ruyuan then appointed Yuan Lang as the national teacher.
Shen Lanxi has Song Daoxi, the descendant of Guiguzi, as his national teacher, so he naturally cannot lose.
What follows is a showdown between national masters. They represent not individuals, but the kings behind them.
His national teacher must not lose to Shen Lanxi's national teacher!
The Tianjin Express quickly responded, accepting the challenge!
…
After resting in bed for a few days, Shen Yuantang recovered. Coincidentally the streets were busy, the women in the mansion suggested going shopping and thanking Shen Yuantang for saving the children in the mansion.
Because of saving people, Shen Yuantang's reputation in the mansion improved a lot. This time, the second wife Liu took the lead in the trip.
In the past, Liu couldn't stand Shen Yuantang's arrogance. She had only been tolerant of him on the surface before. But because her grandson was rescued, Liu was truly grateful and her prejudice against Shen Yuantang was reduced a little.
"Why is it so lively today?" Although Shen Yuantang had not left the house for a few days, he was well-informed and asked this question on purpose.
