"I think back to the Battle of Xiangfan back then. If it hadn't been for General Guan Da's command, it would have been difficult for our army to win.

The victory in that battle made the Wei Dynasty dare not peek at Jingzhou for several years. General Guan is such a man!"

A scholar wearing a turban on his head shook his head and said the above words in the excitement of wine.

When the scholar finished his words, another scholar sitting opposite him immediately echoed:

"Brother Yang, you don't know something.

General Guan Da not only has outstanding military exploits, but his loyalty is also famous all over the world. Even the dead traitor Cao Cao admires him."

After saying these words, the scholar cited an allusion to Guan Yu's story of "hanging a seal and sealing gold, riding a thousand miles alone".

The wine shop is a mixed place, and of course it's not just the children of aristocratic families who can come here to drink and have fun.

Businessmen, and even peddlers with some spare money, usually come to the wine shop to relax.

For them, they may have heard Guan Yu's name before, but they must not remember it clearly.

After all, there is little information in this world, and most of them have to be busy with their lives. In the past, they really didn’t have the opportunity or the inclination to pay too much attention to the so-called major events in the world.

Therefore, for them, what these two scholars said was undoubtedly novel and quite shocking.

Not to mention the people of the current generation, even the well-informed people of later generations, after hearing in detail for the first time Guan Yu's meritorious service to the Han Dynasty and his loyalty to Liu Bei, who would not feel yearning for it?

Gradually, many merchants, traffickers and footmen no longer regarded what the two scholars said as a momentary anecdote.

They kept what they heard about Guan Yu's deeds firmly in mind, thinking that they would use it to educate their children well when they returned home.

Since Guan Yu is to be regarded as a role model for his children, then unconsciously, the admiration for Guan Yu will rise in the hearts of everyone in the wine shop.

When the mood in everyone's hearts became stronger and stronger, the scholar named Yang just now praised Guan Yu loudly and said:

"General Guan Da is loyal and brave, and he revolted with His Majesty's blood. He established the distinction between monarch and ministers long ago. He restored the Han Dynasty in time and established the king with every turn.

Kan is like a tiger roaring like a dragon, catching the wind and flying. His majesty shocks the whole world, and he is known as the enemy of ten thousand people.

He once served Yu Cao, but later wrote a letter and left!

The righteousness and righteousness of the sedan chair reach the sky, and the Han Dynasty will not be destroyed!"

Compared to what he had just said, the scholar named Yang now spoke more highly of Guan Yu, which directly aroused applause from everyone in the wine shop.

And when the scholar named Yang finished his words, the scholar sitting opposite him was not to be outdone:

"Emperor Wei's loyalty and righteousness are known to the world, his achievements are recorded in the annals of history, there are sacrifices in the smoke, and thousands of people look up to him. Although he has passed away now, his power and power will be outstanding for a thousand years!"

Although this scholar named Du did not mention Guan Yu's name, everyone in the restaurant knew who he was praising in his words.

After the scholar surnamed Du praised Guan Yu, everyone in the wine shop became more enthusiastic.

But in the wine shop, there was one person whose face looked out of tune with everyone else.

Xu Ci had a look of indignation on his face. Ever since he heard two scholars with ulterior motives speaking highly of Guan Yu in the wine shop, Xu Ci had not stopped drinking.

But no matter how much he drank, Xu Ci found that he could not ignore the remarks of the two scholars.

Xu Ci didn't have a grudge against Guan Yu and couldn't stand someone praising Guan Yu. Xu Ci thought of the recent remarks in Chang'an City and knew the "rebellious heart" of the two scholars!

Xu Ci, who was deeply influenced by the ancestral system of the Han Dynasty, finally couldn't suppress the indignation in his heart after finishing another glass of wine.

Xu Ci threw the wine glass in his hand to the ground, then stood up and walked towards the seats where Yang and Du were sitting.

At present, due to the remarks of Yang and Du, a group of people had already gathered around them.

The angry Xu Ci was old and frail, and he finally managed to squeeze through the crowd to stand in front of the two scholars Yang and Du.

But Xu Ci, who originally wanted to give Yang and Du a slap in the face based on his identity, suddenly changed his mind after seeing their tall figures.

"Pa"!

A crisp round of applause echoed on the table in front of Yang and Du.

Looking at the wrinkled hand on the desk, Yang and Du could not help but look at Xu Ci.

At first glance, Yang and Du did not recognize Xu Ci's identity.

Not being able to recognize him means that Xu Ci is not a high-ranking person.

After realizing this, Yang and Du had a playful look in their eyes.

Does this old man know who they are working for?

Does he think he is your Majesty or the Prime Minister?

Although Xu Ci was old, the playful look in the eyes of Yang and Du could not escape his eyes.

The performance of the two scholars Yang and Du made Xu Ci's anger even more intense.

"Looking at how you two are dressed, you can be considered a man of distinction to me.

As a scholar of the Han Dynasty, don’t you know Taizu’s oath on the white horse?

The two of you are trying to create momentum for General Guan Da to be crowned king. How is this behavior any different from treason?"

Xu Ci spat out a lot of words angrily, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he put a big label of rebellion on Yang and Du.

Ordinary people might be dizzy by Xu Ci's big hat, but Yang and Du would not.

Let's not talk about their family backgrounds, let's just say that their own talents and learning are enough to refute Xu Ci's remarks.

The older scholar named Yang looked at the spitting old man in front of him. If it weren't for the national policy of respecting the elderly, he would have gotten up and punched him with a bad temper.

But even though he did not physically attack Xu Ci, the scholar surnamed Yang did not want to coddle Xu Ci.

"I just spoke to my friend, and everyone present heard every word.

Everyone present can testify for me, did I even mention a single word about "professing the title of king"?

Since the restoration of Chang'an, His Majesty has encouraged the scholars in the field to praise those who were loyal to the Han Dynasty, so as to demonstrate the right path to the people of the world.

Is there anything in what my friends and I did that went against His Majesty’s original intention?

Could it be that you think that General Guan is not a loyal man and does not deserve my praise?

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Or do you think His Majesty’s edict is wrong?”

The scholar surnamed Yang was sharp-tongued and made Xu Ci speechless in his argument.

Not only that, Xu Ci was also labeled a big label by the scholar surnamed Yang.

This made Xu Ci angry and anxious, and his whole face turned red.

But Xu Ci couldn't defend herself.

Scholars in the field built up momentum for Guan Yu, and then some courtiers at court tentatively proposed to make Guan Yu the king. This was a political turmoil that gradually spread in Chang'an City recently.

As a member of the imperial court, Xu Ci naturally knew that there was a great connection between the two, but just because he knew it, it did not mean that others knew it.

On the surface, Yang and Du are just praising Guan Yu. What's wrong with this?

Xu Ci, who suffered a loss in words, almost had eyes burning.

But seeing the strange looks from the people around him, Xu Ci finally chose to run away.

However, after leaving the wine shop, the anger in Xu Ci's heart did not decrease, but instead increased a lot.

Xu Ci, who felt that he was speaking out for justice, immediately had an idea - since he couldn't stop it, he should find someone who could stop it.

After making up his mind, Xu Ci quickly returned to the official office, changed into his official uniform, and then walked towards the palace city.

With the help of his identity as Taichang, Xu Ci quickly entered the palace and came outside the Chancellor's Stand.

But just when Xu Ci was about to walk into the Chancery, he was stopped by the guard outside the door:

"The general has an order that no one is allowed to enter the important land of the country."

The guard's words made Xu Ci laugh angrily.

He is currently wearing an official uniform. How could ordinary people not recognize Jiu Qing's official uniform?

As a dignified person, why can’t he even enter the Chancellor’s Desk?

Xu Ci, who was overwhelmed with anger, pushed aside the guards' obstruction with one hand and strode towards the chancery.

Xu Ci's behavior caught the guard by surprise.

But even if the guard wanted to stop him, he would not dare to be cruel due to Xu Ci's identity.

Due to the guard's concerns, Xu Ci broke through all the way to the lobby where Mi Yang's office was located.

But after arriving outside the lobby, Xu Ci could no longer move forward.

Because the people guarding the lobby are Mi Yang's personal guards.

As the personal bodyguards of the general, unless Liu Bei or Zhuge Liang arrive, no one in the world can make them retreat.

Seeing Mi Yang's personal guards outside the lobby blocking him, Xu Ci couldn't help but shouted in anger:

"My minister Xu Ci has something urgent to ask to see the general!"

As if he was afraid that Mi Yang in the lobby wouldn't hear, Xu Ci shouted several times in a row.

What Xu Ci didn't expect was that under his loud shouts, there was finally movement in the lobby.
