Yang Qing told Pu Yuan that there was a banquet, which was not an excuse. Qin Mi invited him to a banquet in the evening, so he had to go.
Not long ago, the emperor issued an edict to let Prime Minister Zhuge Liang take over the post of Yizhou Mu. This move was because Yizhou was the only land left in the Han Dynasty. If someone else was allowed to serve as Yizhou Mu, the administrative power of Yizhou Mu would be the same as that of Yizhou Mu. The administrative powers of Prime Minister Zhuge Liang overlapped, so in order to further centralize power in the central government, the imperial court asked Zhuge Liang to also take over Yizhou Mu.
In fact, the imperial court had been planning this move last year, and even several important assistant officers of Yizhou Mu had already been selected, and they would only be officially appointed this year.
This is the case for Qin Mi. Not long ago, Zhuge Liang appointed him as a special official. Today he held a banquet to celebrate his return to the official position. Therefore, since Qin Mi is both an elder teacher and a recommended benefactor, Yang Qing certainly wants to congratulate him.
"Congratulations, Mr. Congratulations, Mr. Congratulations, I'm really happy that I can take on the role of valet now." Yang Qing sincerely congratulated Qin Mi.
Biejia is the most important assistant officer of Zhoumu. Because his status is second only to the governor of Zhoumu, he does not ride in the same car as the governor of Zhoumu when he goes out on patrol, but rides in the same car, so he is called Biejia. Since the imperial court now only had Yizhou, the power of Yizhou Mu was greatly reduced. However, Zhuge Liang was able to appoint Qin Mi as his assistant, which showed that he was highly valued and recognized. In particular, the Yizhou Mufu is still held concurrently by Zhuge Liang. Since Zhuge Liang's main focus of governance is on the Prime Minister's Office, the actual person in charge of the Yizhou Mufu is Qin Mi. This is comparable to what he was doing before he was dismissed from office. The status is much higher.
Qin Mi was appointed as a high official, and his friends around him were clamoring for him to treat him, so tonight he held a banquet at his home and invited some relatives and friends to come together.
"Thank you Mingzhi." Qin Mi pulled Yang Qing into the main hall with a smile on his face: "Mingzhi, you are a little late."
Seeing that most of the low tables in the room were occupied, Yang Qing secretly thought that he had arrived a little late, and then he smiled and said, "Qing was delayed for a while due to something else. Mr. Zichi won't be surprised, right?"
Qin Mi complained: "It's not strange. I'm not surprised anymore. Come on, let me introduce you to some virtuous scholars."
Qin Mi brought Yang Qing to the main table and introduced to everyone: "Everyone, this is Yang Qing and Yang Mingzhi, the chief secretary of the Prime Minister. He is highly regarded by Prime Minister Zhuge and is a rare young hero in Shu."
Yang Qing bowed his hands and said, "Qing has met all of you gentlemen."
Many people in the hall saw him for the first time. When they saw Yang Qing salute, they all straightened up and returned the salute.
Qin Mi pointed to an old man in his fifties sitting on the left and said: "This is Du Wei and Du Guofu, a great scholar from Zitong, who has been appointed by the Prime Minister as the Chief Registrar of Yizhou."
"Long time admiration, long time admiration."
The old man nodded slightly and did not answer.
"Mr. Guofu has an ear disease and needs to be close to the front to hear people's voices." Qin Mi explained softly in Yang Qing's ear.
Yang Qing knew about this. This man had a good reputation and was unwilling to be an official by nature. After the late emperor settled in Shu, he pretended to be deaf and stayed behind closed doors. Not long ago, Zhuge Liang wanted to appoint him as the chief registrar of Yizhou, but he still refused, so Zhuge Liang sent a vehicle to welcome him to his house for a talk. After the two met, Zhuge Cheng saw that he still couldn't hear anyone speak, so he wrote two articles to persuade him, hoping that he could assist the emperor and serve the court. In this way, Du Wei was persuaded to agree. I heard that the prime minister was planning to appoint him as an admonishment doctor.
"This is a famous scholar from Wuliang Wude Mountain. He has been appointed by the Prime Minister as a meritorious official in Yizhou." Qin Mi pointed at the middle-aged scribe who bowed his head to Du Wei and said. Yang Qing had also heard about this person, and he was in the same position as Qin Mi and Du Wei, so he quickly expressed his pleasure to meet him.
"Mingzhi, this is Yin Mo and Yin Siqian, a bachelor of Zitong and now an admonishment official. He once traveled to Jingzhou and studied ancient studies under two great Confucian scholars, Sima Decao and Song Zhongzi. He was especially proficient in Zuo's Spring and Autumn Annals."
Did you study under Sima Decao? Isn't Sima Decao Mr. Shui Jing Sima Hui? Prime Minister Zhuge also listened to Sima Hui's lectures, so this is incredible. This person is also Zhuge Liang's classmate. Yang Qing didn't dare to neglect, and also said his long-lasting admiration.
Yin Mo smiled and said: "I have admired Master Yang's name for a long time. When I saw him today, he is really a handsome young man."
These people are all important figures in the scholarly community. Yang Qing did not dare to claim to be a hero here, so he hurriedly replied humbly: "Don't dare, I don't dare. Qing happened to get a little name. How dare he call himself a hero? You gentlemen are the ones." I look forward to being a role model for younger generations.”
"Well, he is indeed a talent that Prime Minister Zhuge values. He is talented but not arrogant. It is a blessing to have such a person in Shu."
As soon as Yang Qingfu finished speaking, a word of praise suddenly came from outside the door. Yang Qing turned around and saw an old man in his fifties walking in, followed by a young man who was about a few years older than Yang Qing.
When Qin Mi saw a visitor arriving, he hurried up to greet him: "Bo Yu, you are here, let us wait easily." The old man replied: "There is something delayed, Zi Chi suddenly blamed him."
"Haha, please take a seat." Qin Mi smiled and said to the young man behind the old man: "Wen Ran, you are here too, please sit down with your father."
"No rush, no rush."
The old man walked up to Yang Qing and looked at him without saying a word. After a moment, Yang Qing was a little embarrassed and was about to ask a question. Du Qiong shook his head and said, "That's weird, that's weird!"
Yang Qing didn't understand, what was so strange? Did he look strange?
"Old sir, may I ask you..."
Qin Mi said: "Mingzhi, Mr. Boyu's surname is Du Mingqiong, and he is also an admonishing doctor. Behind him is his eldest son, whose surname is Du Mingzhen. He is one of the many young scholars in Chengdu. You can get closer to him in the future."
Du Qiong said at this time: "Yang Ming is indeed a talent that Prime Minister Zhuge values. Wen Ran, you should ask him for more advice."
Du Qiong first looked at Yang Qing inexplicably, and now he praised him without thinking, which made him confused about the situation. He was about to ask more questions, but his son helped Du Qiong to sit down. .
Seeing this, Qin Mi smiled at Du Zhen and said, "Wen Ran, Mingzhi, so that you can know that I also have a young scholar here who has a close relationship with you two."
oh? Hearing what Qin Mi said, everyone became interested, which was interesting. Yang Qing and Du Zhen had never known each other before, and today was the first time they met. It was unexpected that someone would be related to the two of them.
Yang Qing and Du Zhen looked at each other. They were both confused at the moment. They didn't understand what Qin Mi meant and had to wait for Qin Mi's next words.
Qin Mi didn't want to whet everyone's appetite, and shouted to a young man in his 10s and 20s: "Yang Wenran, come to the front."
So, after hearing Qin Mi call him this, everyone present understood that not only did this son have the same surname as Yang Qing, but he also had the same first name as Du Zhen. This was indeed related to the two of them, which was really interesting.
When Yang Qing saw Yang Wenran getting up from the seat in the back row near the door, he realized that it was this person. Yang Qing had seen this person before he entered the door. He didn't expect that this person's surname and first name were so similar to his own and that of Du Zhen. Destined.
"I have met you gentlemen." The man walked up to Qin Mi, stood still and bowed generously to everyone.
Qin Mi said: "Everyone, I believe you all know that this man's surname is Yang Mingxi. He is a native of Wuyang. He also has a pseudonym of Wenran. He is now the secretary of Yizhou."
Wu Liang on the side said: "So he is Qianwei Yangxi?"
