When the male protagonist of the invincible novel meets the overbearing president

Dajing calendar 132

Lang Wei's only son Lang Xiu Yu inherited the position of prime minister.

It was said that Lang Xiuyu was honest and kind to the people. As soon as he inherited the position of prime minister, he removed all the luxurious decorations and food in the palace, helped beggars, provided them with jobs, and spent money to build facilities that benefited the country and the people, winning the favor of many people.

In the same year, Meng Qing was promoted to sergeant due to his outstanding strength and led ten soldiers.

The war intensified further.

Dajing calendar 134

Meng Qing was promoted by Lang Xiuyu to become a centurion and was highly regarded by his superiors.

Lang Xiuyu has established a firm foothold in the court, but due to the grudges between his father and his family, he is not accepted by most officials.

On the other hand, Lang Xiuyu often takes time to travel to various gatherings and meet many pillars of the country. He promotes his own ideas and has the tendency to become the leader of the young generation of literati.

In the same year, a city of the Qin Empire was occupied. This city was only a few cities away from Lingjiang City, the largest city on the edge of the empire.

Hundreds of thousands of soldiers fled like stray dogs, with only a few struggling to hold on. Fortunately, the imperial court sent people to rescue them, and they were able to hold on to the front line.

At this time, the Dajing Empire sent another 500,000 soldiers.

The enemy country experienced this successful battle, which gave them great confidence and boosted their morale.

Because of this defeat, the Dajing Empire suffered a loss of public opinion and the reputation of the Changwei Army was damaged.

But after the court's appeasement, there was no serious problem.

People with discerning eyes in the country have noticed that something is wrong and it seems that something is brewing in the dark.

Dajing calendar 135

Meng Qing became the Grand Commander and a member of the main vanguard army.

Lang Xiuyu took advantage of the war to incite the people and gained great fame.

Lang Xiuyu's ideas spread across half of the empire and were known to most ordinary people.

This concept is - respect.

Respect the shortcomings of others, respect your own shortcomings. Respect the strengths of scholars, respect the strengths of warriors. Respect the order of heaven and earth, and maintain eternal peace...

Because of the emphasis on culture over military affairs for many years, the people were skeptical.

Lang Xiu Yu was honest and provided financial support in many ways during the war. He also did several good things for the country and the people, and his good name spread far and wide.

The people especially love him.

The people said that this young prime minister was virtuous, prudent and wise, and cared about the people, and was a rare good official.

At the same time, folk literati also highly supported this prime minister who was both talented and handsome, and regarded him as a veritable leader of the younger generation.

In the same year, Lang Xiu Yu confirmed what he thought, that there was a traitor in the empire.

However, the traitor could not be caught for a long time, Lang Xiu Yu was helpless and hit a wall everywhere.

Dajing calendar 136th year

The battle line has approached Qingshi Town. If one more city falls, the next one will be Lingjiang City.

At this time, the people living on the margins of the country were all starving to death. Under the raging flames of war, their previous peace and stability were long gone.

The Changwei Army lost nearly 40% of its troops at one point, and only a few of the 500,000 soldiers were left, so the imperial court dispatched all the remaining troops.

Lang Xiu Yu was a little worried because Qingshi Town, where she had lived for a long time in her childhood, was about to be engulfed in war.

The traitor has yet to be caught, and the suspect seems to be clear, but it seems that there is nothing I can do about him...

Meng Qing has repeatedly made military achievements and his military rank has reached the rank of colonel. With Lang Xiuyu's support, I believe that the position of general is not a delusion.

His profound insights into the art of commanding people and the art of war were convincing, and gradually he gained many supporters.

In the 137th year of the Dajing calendar...

Bluestone Town

In front of the courtyard

Old Mr. Wang, with a few wisps of white beard and leaning on a cane, staggered along the road leading to Lu Yanxu and Tang Qi's home.

At this time, he was no longer as agile as before and had a hunched posture.

He looked at the ordinary gate wall. The family behind the gate, which was ordinary in decoration but had some exquisite details, was a rare good friend he made in his later years.

In this last bit of time, let's say goodbye to them...

Although Mr. Wang is old, he still looks energetic. He walks with a cane and looks around.

The war has almost spread to Qingshi Town. The people in the town now are no longer as relaxed and chatty as they were when Lu Yanxu and Tang Qi first arrived. They all look panicked.

The shops on the street had long been deserted, and the bluestone that had been so hard to build in the town was now covered with all kinds of garbage and filth, no longer as clean and tidy as before.

Some houses have already been empty, and some people have asked relatives and friends to pack up their belongings and flee as soon as possible.

But more of it is numbness to the war.

These are actually smart people. They know that no matter where they flee to, as long as the war in this country continues, they can't escape.

It would be better to die in your hometown, where you can return to your roots, rather than die in a foreign land.

"Alas... run, run, run. This world is so small, where can I escape to?!"

Grandma Yu seemed to be older, but she still sat on the bench at the door with a calm demeanor, as if the war had never happened.

She looked at the people coming and going in a hurry, and still had the mind to smile and joke.

A young man was stopped by her words.

"Grandma Yu! What are you talking about? The world is so big, there is always hope as long as we escape from here!"

This young man had never experienced the cruelty of war, yet he still had the confidence to say such words.

Grandma Yu didn't care and waved her hand.

"Alas, young man. I have lived so long that I have seen through the court. Moreover, I am old. Where can I escape to? Who can take care of me?"

Her face was full of traces of time, and her facial muscles had long been loose, like layers of wrinkles. But her dim little eyes revealed brightness and tenderness.

"My child, you are still young. If you have a chance to escape, run away quickly. But listen to grandma's advice. Stay away from the imperial officials and soldiers. If you see them, run as far away as you can!"

When she said this, her originally gentle expression became extremely sharp.

The young man was frightened by the look, but he knew Grandma Yu's character well and knew that she would not lie to him.

"Okay, okay grandma, I got it."

After saying this, he ran back home as if escaping and quickly packed up his belongings.

When Mr. Wang saw this scene, he smiled happily.

"Sister Yu, you are a wise person!"

Grandma Yu was still sitting there, she just turned her head and said this.

"Are you...going to go?"

This sentence was incoherent, but Mr. Wang responded without hesitation:

"It's time to go, it's time to go! He has been waiting for me for a long time..."

After he said this, he continued walking towards the courtyard on his crutches without looking back.

dong dong dong-

There was an unhurried knock on the door, followed by Yu Miao's always lively and bright voice:

"Come on, come on!"

The little girl, still in her twelve-year-old figure, came skipping over and opened the door with a click. She was delighted to see that it was Mr. Wang.

"Grandpa Wang, you're here! Come in, come in quickly!"

She jumped over happily, then took Mr. Wang's wrist and carefully pulled him into the courtyard.

"Grandpa Wang, are you here to look for the master?"

Old Master Wang patted her head cheerfully: "Hey! Xiao Yu Miao, I'm here to look for your master."

"They are in the house. I will go and call them. You sit here for a while."

After Yu Miao asked Mr. Wang to sit down, he ran to the door of Lu Yanxu and Tang Qi. When he was about to knock on the door, it opened.

A tall and handsome young man in black brocade clothes walked out, followed by a handsome and elegant gentleman in a green shirt.

It was Lu Yanxu and Tang Qi.

As soon as Lu Yanxu came out, he greeted Mr. Wang who was sitting on the chair:

"Old man, why did you come to us if you didn't run away?"

Wow, what a familiar smell, such a familiar greeting!

Mr. Wang was not surprised. He did not have the same impetus as before. He did not show any anger, but continued to maintain a cheerful expression.

"Hey, why don't you leave? I came to see you before I leave~"

Tang Qi frowned, and he pulled Lu Yanxu forward and sat with him at the stone table, next to Mr. Wang.

"Master Wang, are you lying?"

Even though Mr. Wang was exposed by Tang Qi, he didn't look panicked. It was probably the end, so he let go of everything.
