In a hall of Meng Mansion.
Wang Wan, Wei Zhuang, and Feng Quji were waiting without arrogance or impatience, without hurry or delay.
They drank the tea soup that was difficult for ordinary people outside to drink. They all lowered their heads, not knowing whether Meng Ao would see them.
Qin is a very deformed country. From the bottom to the top, except for the monarch of Qin, everyone in this country emphasizes military affairs and neglects literature.
A big country that could unify the world did not even have a complete talent training system for hundreds of years-all the civil servants of Qin were not from the old Qin.
In the Qin State, where military merit is paramount, many of the older generation of military generals look down upon civil servants. It doesn't matter whether you are prime minister or not, or what official position you have, isn't it just a matter of the king's words?
Without military merit, it means nothing.
Meng Ao is such a person.
It's not that Wang Wan, Wei Zhuang, and Feng Quji have never worked with Meng Ao, they already know what kind of temper Meng Ao is.
This vulgar veteran of Qin who always talks about the word "bird" has called any of them bird people, but they still dare not call them back.
There is nothing we can do.
On qualifications.
Meng Ao served the four generations of Qin monarchs including King Zhaoxiang of Qin, King Xiaowen of Qin, King Zhuangxiang of Qin, and the First Emperor.
Wang Wan, the most senior among the three, was just a retainer following Ying Zheng during the reign of King Qin Zhuangxiang.
On merit.
As Bai Qi's lieutenant, Meng Ao participated in the Battle of Changping. In his lifetime, he captured more than ten cities in South Korea for the Qin State, more than 30 cities in the Zhao State, and more than 50 cities in the Wei State.
Wei shape to guard against barbarians.
Wang Wan sorted out the internal affairs.
Feng Quji was responsible for supervising Wei Zhuang and Wang Wan.
Although the contributions of the three people are not small, in the land of Qin, they are definitely not comparable to Meng Ao's solid military achievements.
On loyalty.
There was a mutiny in the Qinian Palace. Meng Ao led his troops into King Qin of Yongdi and killed the rebel Lao Ai. He was a great contributor to Ying Zheng's ability to secure the throne of the Qin Kingdom. He had the merit of following the dragon, and Ying Zheng paid great respect to him.
No matter how loyal the three of them are, no matter what they do, they can't compare to Meng Ao who turned the tide and helped Ying Zheng when he needed it.
In Qin, Meng Ao could call anyone a bird.
Even Wang Jian, the God of War with the greatest military exploits in the Qin Kingdom, was scolded by Meng Ao as a birdman with eight scheming minds.
The three people who had suffered such humiliation, if it were not for the sake of future generations, they would never step into the gate of Meng Mansion and visit Meng Ao.
"My eldest father is not feeling well and it is inconvenient to see guests." Meng Tian walked back to the hall and said apologetically.
The eyes of the three people all showed that this was indeed the case.
This kind of behavior is in line with their impression of Meng Ao's arrogance - if he doesn't know how to fight, he's just bullshit.
"In that case, Wan won't bother you anymore. Mr. Meng, take care of yourself."
"It's such an unlucky thing that the situation will go away."
Wang Wan and Wei Zhuang expressed their intention to leave.
Feng Quji entered the Qin court later and worked with Meng Ao less than Wang Wan and Wei Zhuang.
He was still a little unwilling to give up and said reluctantly: "Since Mr. Meng is not feeling well, there is an acupuncture expert at the Jiji Mansion who can bring him to do some conditioning for Mr. Meng."
Wang Wan looked at each other like a child - he was still young.
Meng Tian hesitated for a moment, then shook his head and declined.
"My eldest father took the decoction prescribed by the doctor and fell asleep. It is not appropriate to disturb him at this time."
Feng Quji followed closely: "Me."
What he wanted to say was: I can bring the doctors here first, and then I can treat him after Meng Gong wakes up.
"Doctor Feng Yushi."
But before the words left his mouth, he was interrupted by Wang Wan.
The Qin State respects the right.
Wang Wan and Wei Zhuang were both prime ministers, so they were not superior or inferior in name.
But in the Qin court, in the hearts of the officials, Wang Wan was still as good as Gao Weizhuang.
The leader of the civil servants of the Great Qin Dynasty really didn't want to see his teammates continue to be embarrassed, so he interrupted: "Meng Gong needs to rest, and it is not appropriate to disturb him anymore. Wan has also been feeling unwell recently. Can you please ask a doctor from your house to do acupuncture for Wan. "
It's not that Feng Quji couldn't understand the meaning of Meng Tian's words, he just didn't give up.
Now when Wang Wan heard what he said, he had no choice but to stop and nodded and said: "It is a great honor for the doctor to condition the body of the Prime Minister and spread the word. I would like to ask the Prime Minister to come to the house."
"One doctor is a doctor, and two doctors are also doctors. Dr. Feng Yushi doesn't mind going together, right?"
"Zuo Xiang is willing to come, which is the best thing."
The three of them bid farewell to Meng Tian again and walked out of the Meng Mansion together.
Meng Tian stood there, watching the three people leaving, knowing that they had offended the three people very much this time.
"All of them have made great contributions to the Qin Dynasty. Without them to support us in the rear, how can we kill the enemy bravely without any worries. My eldest father can treat Ying Chengyu's arrogant son differently, so why can't he look down on Wang Wan? Waiting for someone.”
These days, because of Meng Ao.
Meng Tian had been observing Ying Chengyu intentionally or unintentionally, but he really didn't see anything unusual about Ying Chengyu.
If I have to say it, a few days ago, all the guests on the balcony were sent to Tingwei's prison.
But Meng Tian really doesn't like this kind of thing.
Just as Meng Tian was complaining, he felt murderous intent coming from behind him.
He looked back and saw that the veteran Meng Ao, who had just fallen asleep in his mouth, was staring at him with an unkind expression.
Meng Tian hurriedly stepped forward to help Meng Ao, and asked with concern: "Uncle, why are you out? The doctor said that you went out to visit many generals a few days ago, and coupled with drinking, your spleen and kidneys are deficient and you have insufficient qi and blood. These Time should not move for a long time, but should always rest."
"I want you to go to the palace to find His Majesty. Why did you come to the front hall to meet these birdmen?"
"When he comes to visit, it would be disrespectful for his grandson not to come out to see him off."
"If you don't like it, you just don't like it. Why do you care about the red tape?"
Meng Tian was helping Meng Ao walk into the house when he heard the words "red tape" and felt very familiar.
As soon as I thought about it, I remembered that I heard these four words from Ying Chengxuan's mouth last time in Chang'an Jun's Mansion.
"Uncle, why are you so cruel to Ying Cheng?"
"Huh?" The veteran raised his eyebrows and was about to get angry again.
Meng Tian continued: "Jun Chang'an, Lord Chang'an."
Only then did Meng Ao's expression calm down.
"Why do you treat Lord Chang'an differently, but don't want to see the prime minister on the left and the right on the right, the imperial censor?"
Meng Ao snorted disdainfully and said: "How can they be compared with Lord Chang'an? Lord Chang'an was the first one."
Meng Tian pricked up his ears and concentrated, but didn't hear anything else.
Turning his head, he saw Meng Ao staring at him with a serious expression.
"Tian'er, you are trying to trick my eldest father. If you still want my eldest father to live and the Meng family to survive, then don't let it happen again."
How could that Zhuzi matter be so serious and involve the fate of my Meng family?
Meng Tian didn't believe what Meng Ao said. Even though he saw that Meng Ao's expression was more serious than ever before, he still felt that Meng Ao was exaggerating.
The Meng family was the only military family in the Qin State. Three generations of the Meng family served as generals and fought on the battlefield for the Qin State. The Meng family's status in the Qin State was extremely respected.
The Wang family headed by Wang Jian cannot be called a military family. A military family requires at least three generations of generals. The Wang family now only has two generations, Wang Jian and Wang Ben.
Although the Wang family seems to be powerful now, in fact, the hidden power of the Meng family is still greater in the Qin army - Meng Ao has too many old subordinates, and they are all from the same batch as Wang Jian.
Although his old subordinates are not as powerful as Wang Jian who is at the top. But all of them are at least the mainstay of the Qin Army, and many of them are high-level officials of the Qin Army.
As long as Meng Ao is still alive, the Meng family will definitely be the number one military family in the Qin Dynasty.
Our Meng family is so powerful, how could it decline because of the past of a dandy? My eldest father is really old...
