Prime Minister take care

Chapter 443 General Huben
The sun is at noon, at noon.

In the restaurant, Meng Qing and others were sitting around, having a banquet.

Most of the people present here are people from the Xia family, or people who have considerable connections with the Xia family.Meng Qing was not a subordinate of the prime minister's palace, but he was a subordinate general, and he was also Chang Yu's nephew.

Chang Yu is the leader of the local forces in Yongzhou.These aristocratic families who once belonged to Liang Ting were unable to gain status in the Zhou Dynasty, and Chang Yu was the best leader.

In the eyes of everyone in the Xia family, joining forces with these forces is a good card to deal with Yang Xian, provided that the Liang army in front cannot attack Yongzhou.

And Meng Qing's special status made it even more worthy of their friendship.So when Meng Qing revealed something about the Xia family he was close to, Xia family quickly made friends with him, and even believed that this was Chang Yu's intention behind Meng Qing.

"The young hero Zong Shi turned the tide in the battle of Cangqiu. Without Zong Shi, our army would not have been able to successfully capture Yongzhou."

"The Zongshi is my humerus of Dazhou, and it has won the trust of the emperor. I will definitely be able to respect the three princes and help the country that day."

The people at the table were full of praise, and Meng Qing himself felt a little embarrassed.The Xia family, or the forces related to it, all have one characteristic: they have a deep hostility towards Yang Xian.

Meng Qing was coping during the banquet.To be honest, he came undercover under the orders of Yang Xian and Xia Gongnie, and his ultimate goal was actually for Xia Jieshu.

Therefore, establishing a good relationship with the Xia family and letting them treat him as one of their own is the most basic accomplishment for a young man.

However, as the situation developed, Meng Qing became more and more confused.

The entire Yongzhou is like a huge chessboard, and there are many forces playing games on this chessboard.Meng Qing could clearly see the direction of most people in this game, but for Chang Yu, Yang Xian, and even Xia Gong Nie, he became increasingly unclear.

Among them, Chang Yu and Yang Xian seemed to be hidden in the fog, making Meng Qing unable to see their moves clearly.

That's all for Chang Yu and Yang Xian, what Meng Qing couldn't understand the most was Xia Gongnir.

That Empress of the Great Zhou!

Halfway through the banquet, a chamberlain from the palace rushed up anxiously with two guards, patting his thigh.

"Marquis Guiyi, why are you still here? His Majesty is looking for you!"

Everyone in the crowd immediately cast envious glances. These days, the emperor often invited Meng Qing to the palace to see him.

The so-called simplicity is in the heart of the emperor.In the eyes of Xia and others, it is a huge thing to be able to get close to the emperor today.More importantly, the people of the Xia family regarded this incident as a signal. Xia Gongni began to deliberately cultivate forces to fight against Yang Xian. If this is the case, then they, members of the Xia family, would be able to be reused by the emperor sooner or later.

But only Meng Qing was complaining in his heart, but he still had a smile on his face.

"Brother Zongshi, since His Majesty is looking for you, you should go quickly!"

Under the urging of everyone, Meng Qing hurriedly set off on the road.When Meng Qing saw the current emperor in Xia Gongni's palace, her hair was messy and she looked angry when she got up.

In the palace, only Huang Hao, the regular attendant, was waiting on him carefully.He seemed to know better than to make unnecessary moves at this sensitive time.

"Your Majesty Meng Qing pays homage to the Emperor!"

Meng Qing knelt down from a distance, not daring to raise his head.At this time, Xia Gongni was wrapped in a quilt and wearing pajamas. Meng Qing did not dare or could not raise his head to look.

"How's your hole going?"

Regarding the matter of digging a hole for Xia Jieshu, Xia Gongnie seemed to be more concerned about it than Yang Xian, and called him into the palace every now and then to ask.Meng Qing couldn't understand it. It would be understandable if Xia Gongnie pretended to be like that in front of Yang Xian.But now, Xia Gongnie's attitude is not a disguise at all, she really hates Xia Jieshu.

"This matter should be carried out step by step, I am taking care of it!" Logically speaking, if you can handle this kind of thing for the leader, you should be regarded as a close minister of the emperor, and your future will be bright.But Meng Qing was not happy at all.

"Speed ​​up!" Xia Gongnie's little face was still full of anger, "Listen, that bastard is making trouble every day. It's so noisy this early in the morning that I can't sleep well!"

In fact, it is already noon, and normal people have already gotten up.

Meng Qing really wanted to complain, but he didn't dare to say anything.There was a faint noise next to his ears, it was the voice of General Huben Xia Jieshu training recruits.

Huang Changshi stood aside, like a statue, not daring to make any sound.

"Since Your Majesty has been disturbed by General Huben, why not let General Huben choose another place to practice?"

Meng Qing asked tentatively. Who knew that after hearing this, Xia Gongnie would become even more tempered.

"I am a wise king! How can I embarrass my ministers because of this kind of thing? How will the generals of Zhou Dynasty view it, how will the officials view it, and how will the people of the world view it? So I leave this matter to you!"

Although what Xia Gongnie said made sense, it sounded ridiculous to Meng Qing.

Meng Qing is a decent person, but after getting along with Xia Gongnie these days, he feels that his pure heart will be polluted.

"Hurry up and dig that hole. Let the guy fall in. It's best not to let him come out again."

"."

Although Xia Gongnie was very anxious, this matter could not be rushed.Meng Qing could only face Xia Gongnie's complaints as usual and carefully please him.

"My minister obeys the order and will share the worries for His Majesty."

"By the way, what's your name?"

"Weak minister Meng Qing!"

"Meng Qing, right? After you take care of that guy, you can be the new General Huben!"

hiss!
Meng Qing took a breath of air and asked him to control fifty thousand forbidden troops?Give him the entire palace to guard?You must know that the position of General Huben is an important position to maintain internal and external relations, and it has always been in the Xia family's pocket.

This wise emperor in the legend of the outside world gave Meng Qing an extremely huge shock.She was completely unlike what was said in the outside world, but it was completely beyond Meng Qing's grasp.

If Yang Xian is far away in the fog, he can't see clearly.Then even if Xia Gongnirvana was right in front of him, he would not be able to grasp the emperor's whims.

"I am scared! Should I discuss this matter with the Prime Minister first?"

"Oh! There is nothing to be afraid of. I believe that unlike that guy, you will be a good gatekeeper."

Xia Gongnie shook her hand, as if deciding an insignificant matter.

"Your Majesty, Guiyi Hou Zhongyong has made great contributions to our great Zhou Dynasty. At this time, he has no job. Why not let him be General Huben's deputy first and get familiar with his duties?"

At this time, Huang Hao, who had been silent, said.

"so be it!"
