Just after Zhang Chuchu's funeral, news came from Tianjin that Zhou Ruyuan denounced Shen Lanxi on the grounds of upholding the orthodox bloodline of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and issued an imperial edict to Shen Lanxi in the name of the Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

In the court, Song Daoxi gave a sharp rebuke.

"So what if he has royal blood? A righteous man has few supporters, while a righteous man has many. He is a traitor who colluded with foreign races and betrayed his country. Can he change the world's master just because of his blood?"

"What the people recognize is a good king who can feed them, not a leather bag filled with blood."

"Who doesn't have blood on his body? If we take them to the market and cut them with a knife, no one will have more blood than anyone else."

The court officials were stunned. They didn't expect that such a god-like figure could speak so simply and yet so sharply.

It's like having blood splashed in your face!

"As expected of the descendant of Guigu."

"As expected of someone who can say that in troubled times one should choose a wise leader. These words are truly thought-provoking!"

Song Daoxi was still talking while the knife was still cutting. Every word he spoke was like a sharp blade, and wherever it went, blood splattered three feet away.

"If we must examine bloodlines, the ancestors of the founding emperor of the Great Zhou were butchers. The emperor before him was from a family that sold straw sandals. The emperor before him was from a family that was also a bandit."

"After these people ascended to high positions, how did they suddenly become true dragons and emperors and have royal blood?"

"Can the blood of a pig butcher and a straw sandal seller turn into gold? Can a drop of blood turn into millions of grains to feed the people of the world for three years?"

"It's all nonsense. If there really is such a thing as royal bloodline, there would be no kings who lost their country, and there would be no changes of dynasties."

"If that is the case, from generation to generation, even the beggars on the street will have a touch of royal blood."

"The guard dogs for the royal family, even to this generation, the dogs chasing and biting people on the street all carry the blood of the royal dogs!"

"Compared to the general trend of the world, the least valuable thing is the royal bloodline!"

All officials: “…” They stood in awe!

……

"As expected of a descendant of Guiguzi, I have already figured out how to fight back in the Express!"

"I think it would be better to send a dog to Tianjin and say that the dog has the blood of the royal dog!"

"You are the one who is hurting me!"

Soon, the Express issued a counterattack that shocked the world.

"Everyone in the world has royal blood!"

"All wild dogs in the world have the blood of the royal dog!"

"All the wild donkeys in the world have the blood of the Arabian horse!"

As soon as this news came out, it immediately caused an uproar.

"Awesome, worthy of being the descendant of Guiguzi, the counterattack is like a slap in the face."

"Is the Imperial Master still in Tianjin? This slap is as loud as ever even though it's thousands of miles away!"

"Everyone has royal blood. Counting from the very beginning when the dynasty was founded, everyone is a descendant of the First Emperor, so everyone has royal blood."

"What kind of person is Zhou Ruyuan? He is blind, a fake god of war, colluding with foreign races, cold-blooded and ruthless. In order to gain the throne, he did not care about the lives of his relatives and married a vicious woman who married twice. He will do anything to get the throne. There is nothing he won't do."

"I heard that the Imperial Astronomical Observatory had already predicted that this man would not be able to marry a good wife. Let's not talk about the first one. What kind of women did he marry later?"

"If he can't even choose a wife, how can he choose anything else?"

"I have never heard of the strategist you chose, and you dare to challenge our national master?"

"What are you thinking about? It's just wishful thinking. Now there's no father to support him!"

The blood dispute was easily resolved, and the news from the court was like a hammer, hitting Zhou Ruyuan again!

Nowadays, ignorant children who quarrel over maltose will always say, "I have royal blood in my body."

The child whose candy was snatched away also replied, "I also have royal blood."

Is this something that children can say?

I must have heard it from adults and learned it privately.

The adults dare not say it, but the children have no taboos and will betray their parents in a minute.

In the beginning, when the Beijing guards and constables were on patrol, the adults in the family would cover the children's mouths and slap them a few times.

Seeing that they didn't care, and didn't even glance at him, he just ignored it.

The royal bloodline was just like the previous war of words in the Express, it was completely destroyed.

In the teahouse, the storyteller slammed the gavel.

"To be honest, everyone, my ancestor was the one who sold straw sandals. My family is also of royal blood!"

"The man who sells night incense near my house is a great general!"

"Our family lives across the street from us, and our ancestors are descendants of the first empress!"

"Even the waiter who serves tea in our teahouse is the descendant of a true emperor. He is genuine and I guarantee you will pay for it!"

"But... His Majesty has already said that kings, princes, generals and ministers are all of different species! What is the value of royal blood? If everyone has royal blood, then they will be like cabbage sold on the street, worthless. Don't you agree?"

"Correct!"

Everyone is here to support us and have fun listening!

"Our Imperial Master also said that if the royal bloodline falls on the ground, can it produce food?"

"To be honest with you all, I bled to the ground and nothing grew back, but my finger was in pain for several days!"

The audience shouted: "Is that right?"

"Your Majesty also said that royal blood can allow people to have enough food?"

"Let me ask you, why are you able to have enough food to eat?"

Everyone looked at each other.

"Isn't it because Your Majesty brought in grain, reduced taxes, repaired rivers, and reclaimed land? Don't you think so?"

The spectators shouted, “Yes!”

"Let's not talk about anything else. If it were the original case, could you come to this teahouse to drink tea and listen to storytelling?"

"Of course not. How can I listen to a book when I don't even have enough to eat?"

"Now that my children are in school, do you have to pay tuition? In the past, a family could not afford to send a child to school even if they worked hard. What about now?"

"If the academy gives a little money to the students, every child can afford to go to school. Who do they rely on?"

"Is it that damn royal bloodline?"

"If anyone says yes, let's let some blood fall on the ground and see if it can turn into gold?"

"I didn't say that. Your Majesty said that to the Imperial Master. When it comes to wisdom, you can doubt anyone but the Imperial Master."

"When it comes to governing a country, no matter who you doubt, you should never doubt Your Majesty!"

"It turns out that bloodline is useless. What's useful is the person who can actually govern the country!"

Compared with the lively stories told by the storytellers in the teahouse, Tianjin was as deserted as snow in June.

"What's the reaction in the capital?" Zhou Ruyuan asked urgently.

Here is an express report from the court. Your Majesty, please read it yourself.

Mr. Caolu is not as powerful as the legend says. Every time he uses a seemingly powerful plan, it is easily resolved by others.

It was like a punch hitting cotton, and they were all a little tired.

As Zhou Ruyuan watched, his face gradually turned darker.

"They are simply treasonous, simply..."

Compared to Zhou Ruyuan's furious anger, Yuan Lang's reaction was much calmer.

"Your Majesty, our focus right now should not be on the court, but on the people coming to serve us from all directions."
