Chapter 49: Forbearance?

Mu Qinxue suppressed the anger in her heart and her tone turned dissatisfied: "Duanmu Yunqing, nearly a thousand people have gathered at this banquet. Please pay attention to your appearance. This is not the behavior of a gentleman."

Duanmu Yunqing did not respond, but smiled at Liang Xiao and said: "Liang Xiao, don't get me wrong, I'm not targeting you, I just want to use your father's story to draw some attention. After all, we are scholars, we should worry about the country and the people, how can we be

Your sister is a little kid and you look down on her?"

Jiang Fuxue was stunned and looked up at Liang Xiao, feeling guilty.

Gongsun Wuji saw this and couldn't hold it back. He sneered: "Is this the demeanor of a talented scholar in the capital's literary circle? When I saw him today, it was just like this!"

Duanmu Yunqing also ignored Gongsun Wuji and just stared at Liang Xiao with a teasing smile on his face.

Nearly half of the talents and beauties present at the meeting came from his family, or were members of aristocratic families who had good relations with his family.

Even if he only relied on the strength of his numbers, he had no reason to be afraid of the Prime Minister's Mansion, the Gongsun Family and the heroes of Chu.

Zhuge Yun said unceremoniously: "Duanmu Yunqing, this is the Prime Minister's Mansion. There is no need to be weird. I advise you to stop in moderation."

When Duanmu Yunqing saw Zhuge Yun's angry expression, his heart skipped a beat and he was really puzzled.

At this moment, Liang Xiao's clear laughter rang out.

Everyone was stunned, but then they saw Liang Xiao sweeping his eyes across the crowd, pointing at the group of people in Duanmu Yuncheng, and said: "You can speak directly if you have anything to say, I, Liang Xiao, am all ears!"

Zhuge Yun was shocked and said: "Liang Xiao!"

Liang Xiao waved his hand and said with a smile: "Miss Yun, this is the Prime Minister's Mansion. As long as it is not illegal, let them speak freely. I would really like to hear what these so-called literary talents have their opinions."

Zhuge Yun was speechless.

Liang Xiao doesn't seem very smart?

Mu Qinxue and others also secretly worried about Liang Xiao.

Although Liang Xiao's father, Marquis Lanling, has been rehabilitated, Liang Xiao cannot take off his reputation as a guilty minister.

Da Zhou emphasized filial piety. How could young people allow others to slander and insult their parents?

"This Duanmu Yunqing, as a well-known talent in the capital, is so shameless and exposed!"

Duan Yunxiu on the high-rise building was anxious and angry.

She just wanted to bring Liang Xiao to meet the prime minister, but she didn't expect Liang Xiao to be so humiliated.

The empress sighed: "This doesn't just show how arrogant those aristocratic families are, but why did he bother to face such a topic that he should avoid. What does the Prime Minister think?"

Zhuge Hui replied: "As the saying goes, newborn calves are not afraid of tigers. There is really no need for Liang Xiao to tolerate it. Moreover, Duanmu Yunqing and Nangong Ning are already engaged, so they naturally have to vent their anger for the fiancée who broke off the engagement with Liang Xiao."

The two sisters nodded silently and looked at Liang Xiao with complicated emotions.

His current identity was that of a criminal minister and a businessman. He seemed out of place at the Prime Minister's Mansion banquet that was filled with literati from aristocratic families.

Duanmu Yunqing stroked his palm and smiled and said: "Since Liang Xiao has no objections, let's discuss the state affairs in depth."

Nangong Ning stared at Liang Xiao and couldn't help but sneer: "You're asking for humiliation!"

When Duanmu Yuncheng saw Mu Qinxue looking at Liang Xiao with a worried face, he was instantly jealous and was the first to get up.

"As a central state, our country, the Great Zhou Dynasty, has paid attention to persuading people with virtue since its founding. Since my grandfather's generation served the great ancestor, he has tried his best to be tolerant of foreign races, facilitated the reconciliation between our Great Zhou Dynasty and the various ethnic groups on the border, and maintained long-term peace. Our country has thus

, Zebu Yunei, surrender from all over the world!"

A talented man next to Duanmu Yuncheng also stood up and echoed: "The Duanmu family has served the country for generations, and their loyalty is a lesson. Who would have thought that seventeen years ago, the Marquis of Lanling, as the commander-in-chief of the northern border, advocated consolidating border defenses. Therefore, our great Zhou Dynasty

They had mutual dissatisfaction with the Beihu tribes and gradually drifted away from each other. The main war faction headed by Lanling Hou repeatedly angered the foreign tribes, which eventually led to the Beihu allied forces going south, with overwhelming momentum, and the country fell!"

After saying this, the man and Duanmu Yuncheng looked at each other and smiled, with a look of joy on their faces.

"fart!"

An angry shout rang out from the crowd, and everyone looked around. It turned out to be Mu Lingxiao angrily walking to the stage.

"How can you blame Lanlinghou for what happened back then? If Lanlinghou hadn't led the troops to cut off the rear, the Great Zhou Dynasty would have been destroyed long ago! You guys, scholars, know the wind, flowers, snow, moon, and country all day long, but if you go to the front line, you won't be like a dog.

Can’t spit out ivory!”

"Brother..."

Mu Qinxue saw that he was filled with righteous indignation. It was not like acting, she was ecstatic in her heart, but on the surface she was pretending to be sad.

The talented man raised his head and said: "General Zhengbei, what I said is true. It was the Marquis of Lanling who advocated strengthening the border defense line, and it was also the Marquis of Lanling who lost his old capital. You can't take someone else's life just because he died on the battlefield.

The responsibility has been completely passed on, right?”

"That's nonsense! Damn you..."

Mu Lingxiao was shocked and angry, and was about to explode, but was stopped by Liang Xiao.

"Liang Xiao??"

Everyone was surprised.

Liang Xiao smiled and said: "Your Excellency is General Zhengbei? Thank you very much! However, I suggest you let them speak clearly first."

Mu Lingxiao was shocked: "Liang Xiao, it is your father they are slandering!"

Liang Xiao still smiled and said: "If General Zhengbei doesn't despise my humble background, why not just sit here with me."

Mu Lingxiao was stunned, and had no choice but to agree, sitting next to Liang Xiao, feeling depressed.

Xing Feng, Zhuo Mingfeng, Gongsun Wuji, Zhuge Yun...

There were some people at the scene who sympathized with Liang Xiao, and they either looked disappointed or confused.

"Why bother?" Zhuge Cheng, who had already arrived at the scene, muttered to himself.

Zhuge Yun and Mu Qinxue looked at each other and saw the helplessness in each other's eyes.

Liang Xiao tolerated people so much that they really didn't know how to say a few words of justice for him.

Duan Yunxiu had given many instructions not to let Liang Xiao be bullied at the banquet.

Duanmu Yunqing said with a smile: "This is the reason why our dynasty strongly advocates civility and suppresses martial arts. These rough guys are only thinking about making achievements, killing and killing, regardless of the safety of the country, and let the country become militaristic, causing the people of our great Zhou Dynasty to betray their relatives and alienate themselves.

.As long as half of the money spent on military expenditures every year is spent on diplomacy, it will not lead to the disaster of moving the capital that year!"

Duanmu Yuncheng's face was filled with excitement, and he couldn't help but spread out his paper fan and shake it gently while talking loudly.

"Yun Qing is right. Now my father and the others are advocating for gentle peace talks. In the near future, our country and the various ethnic groups in Beihu will be able to rebuild their old friendship and live in peace! Only by implementing the gentle policy and demonstrating our demeanor as a great nation can we win submission from all over the world.

, the country is peaceful and the people are safe! As for Lanling Hou and his like, they have repeatedly resorted to reckless warfare, resulting in the loss of life, their own death, and the destruction of their own family. They deserve what they deserve!"

“I hope those who come after us will take this as a warning and refrain from resorting to militarism to harm the country and the people!”

After saying that, Duanmu Yuncheng looked at Liang Xiao again and said with a smile: "Liang Xiao, what do you think?"

As soon as Duanmu Yuncheng finished speaking, everyone behind him cheered.

Jiang Fuxue and Mu Lingxiao had angry expressions on their faces, and Jiang Fuxue also tried her best to suppress the anger in her heart, with displeasure on her face.

Gongsun Wuji, Zhuo Mingfeng, Xing Feng, Zhuge Yun, Zhuge Cheng and others glanced at Duanmu Yuncheng and others with disdain.

Liang Xiao glanced across the audience and said with a smile: "What you said seems to make some sense."

The whole place was in an uproar!

"Liang, Liang Xiao!!" Mu Lingxiao said in shock.

Gongsun Wuji couldn't help but look disappointed.

Xing Feng and Zhuo Mingfeng looked at Liang Xiao in surprise and disbelief.

At this point, why would he still accommodate these people?
