"Mr. Zichi, one of Qing's poems caused your banquet to end. I'm so sorry." Yang Qingliu accompanied Qin Mi for a walk in the courtyard at the end.
"Haha, it's okay. I've had a lot of fun today." Qin Mi smiled and suddenly said seriously: "Do you know why all the guests I invited today are from Yizhou?"
"I don't know."
"This is intended for you."
Yang Qing was surprised and said: "For me? I don't know. I hope you can clear up the confusion."
Qin Mi said: "Although Mingzhi comes from a poor family and has nothing to do with the big families in Shu, you are now highly valued by Prime Minister Zhuge, and you will definitely reach a high position in time. Even if you don't want to, the world will You, a native of Yizhou, regard you as the representative figure of Shu in the court, so I invite you to come over tonight to meet the famous people in Yizhou today."
Yang Qing said: "That's it. Thank you for your hard work, sir." He knew that Qin Mi was telling the truth. Although he was not interested in regional grouping, it was like this sometimes. Once you reached a high position, if you didn't want to group together, others would do the same. If you come closer, this can be regarded as an unspoken rule in Shilin.
Although he is not cold about it, he will not reject it. As long as there are Shu people with real talents and knowledge who are willing to fight for the rejuvenation of the Han Dynasty, he is willing to sincerely accept them and work together with them.
"I just didn't expect the two Dukes to react so much to your song about joining the army. This makes me a little embarrassed."
Yang Qing smiled and said: "Sir, you are suddenly annoyed, but Qing didn't take it to heart. Moreover, the words of Mr. Guofu and Boyu are also reasonable. Sun Tzu said: Soldiers are a major matter of the country, the place of life and death, and the way of survival. You don't care. Cao Wei is powerful and the Han Dynasty is small. We must be cautious when using the weak to attack the strong."
Qin Mi nodded and said: "That's right. In fact, it's not that the two gentlemen don't want to restore the old Han Dynasty, they just hope to save the people's energy as much as possible, so you must not blame them wrongly."
Yang Qing smiled and said: "What are you talking about, sir? The two gentlemen are highly respected and knowledgeable. They can't even learn from Qing Dynasty. How dare you be weird? What you said clearly, sir, is like the leader of a sergeant in Shu. It really makes Qing Qing So shameful."
"Why, don't you want to?"
"I don't want to, it's very tiring to be in charge." Yang Qing shook his head and said: "What's more, the relationships between the big families in Shu are complicated. Even if I, a humble scholar, have some talents, how can I convince everyone. Sir, I'm afraid you are just wishful thinking."
Yang Qing felt that Qin Mi's idea of promoting him to be the representative of Shu sergeants was a little too naive. Even if his talent and status were qualified, how could he be ranked among the humble scholars like himself given the urinary attitude of the wealthy families in this era? Come on, the water here is quite deep. I don’t dare to step into it at will.
Qin Mi couldn't help but be shocked when he heard this. He deliberately promoted Yang Qing, a junior he was optimistic about. According to his calculations, Yang Qing would have a high chance of becoming one of the rulers of the imperial court in the future. In this way, he would become a Yizhou native and serve in the imperial court. The pillars are also a matter of course. But when he heard what Yang Qing said at this moment, he also felt a drumbeat in his heart. Could it be that he had underestimated the complexity of this matter?
Seeing that Qin Mi didn't say a word, Yang Qing knew that he had heard what he said. He smiled secretly, then bowed his hands and said, "Sir, it's getting late, so it's better to rest early. We can talk about the future later. Qing Qing Farewell." After saying that, without waiting for Qin Mi's response, he turned around and walked towards the door of the mansion.
Qin Mi came back to his senses, looked at Yang Qing's back and smiled. What he admired most about this boy was not his talent, but his ability to always do things with ease, which was very similar to himself.
Forget it, I went back to the house to sleep.
In the carriage, Yang Qing closed his eyes and meditated. The feast tonight was worth it. Not to mention getting to know Du Wei, Du Qiong, Wu Liang and others, the most important thing is getting to know Liu Yin and Yang Xi, two talented people.
Especially Liu Yin, Yang Qing has high hopes for him. If this person can grow up quickly, he should not be inferior to Wang Ping. Although Wang Ping is still mediocre in the army, both of them are good generals. The future of the Northern Expedition will be determined. Can shine.
Moreover, Liu Yin was not only good at defense, he could also charge into battle. He was omnipotent in both attack and defense. He decided to recommend such a good general to Zhuge Liang when the time was right in the future. I believe the Prime Minister would be happy to see him.
Of course, Du Zhen, Liu Shen and several other young talents are also good. In the future, Du Zhen and Liu Shen would be able to become prefect Zhou Mu and other high-ranking officials with two thousand dan in the Jin Dynasty. This shows that their talents and learning are also good, so we can pay attention to them in the future. use.
Haha, what are you thinking about? I am just the chief secretary and you are already worried about the Prime Minister. Yang Qing couldn't help but smile at his thoughts just now, and shook his head to put these thoughts behind him for the time being. It was a bit overwhelming, so he might as well take a nap in the car for a while.
"Master Chief, here we are."
The sound of Zhou Xing's tapping outside the car woke Yang Qing up from his sleep. He actually fell asleep. It seemed that he was indeed tired tonight. He waved his hand to tell Zhou Xing and the others to rest early, opened the courtyard door and slowly entered the house.
"Yue Niang, are Wang Pu and the others making any moves again?" Yang Qing closed the door and turned to Xia Houyue and asked. Now the relationship between the two has become closer due to the undercover incident, so the names between the two have become more intimate and casual.
Wang Pu had obtained Xia Houyue's identity token from above about two months ago. Now Xia Houyue can be regarded as a serious Cao Wei school official. In order to further consolidate Wang Pu's trust in her, Yang Qing has already revealed several irrelevant information for Xia Houyue to use to make meritorious deeds. Therefore, Wang Pu's trust in her is increasing day by day. Of course, she has gained from Yang Qing. The expectation for more important information is also becoming more and more urgent.
Xia Houyue shook her head slightly: "It's not a big move, but their appetite is no longer satisfied with the marginal news I'm waiting for. Wang Pu wants me to increase my efforts and get more weight from you. confidential information."
"Normal, this is expected." Yang Qing said with a smile: "Colonel Han and I have already prepared for this matter. A half-truth and half-false secret has been prepared for them. Baoyueniang, can you Successful transaction."
Xia Houyue felt much more relaxed after hearing this, and asked curiously: "I wonder what kind of fake news it is?"
Yang Qing pretended to be mysterious and whispered: "Yue Niang told them that my big man is now making a sharp weapon that can go to the sky. Once successful, our soldiers can fly into the sky with this sharp weapon. In this way, they will not need to use it." You can cross mountains and rivers silently by walking, and you can also shoot arrows from the sky to shoot down enemy troops, which is very helpful in war."
Xia Houyue felt that she was listening to a book from heaven. She felt that she would not believe such a reward: "This is too fake. Not to mention Wang Pu and the others, even Yue'er would not believe that such a thing could exist in the world."
But she also thought about what Yang Qing said was a half-truth and half-false secret. Is there really such a sharp weapon being developed?
"Could this really exist?"
Yang Qing smiled and said: "Yue Niang can't reply like this. You can tell them again that this is the secret technique of my master. With the help of Prime Minister Zhuge and Master Pu, I use fire to generate heat, and then use the power of the heat to evaporate and rise. The floating machinery and equipment are now being secretly developed, and there are already some clues. Most of the lies that can convince people are that the things are roughly true, and the key points are deceived, so that people can really believe it. No secrets will be leaked.”
Xia Houyue nodded after hearing this: "It should be feasible to reply like this." She paused and asked curiously: "Could it be that a big man like me can really make such a magical thing?"
Yang Qingdao: "When the fake is real, it is also fake, and when the real is fake, the fake is also real. Of course I, a big man, have not made such magical objects, but there are so many magical things and strange powers in the world. There are birds that can fly." Animals, so why can't they fly between the sky and the earth? It is impossible to say that thousands of years later, such artifacts will be created by the world to bring people into the sky."
After Yang Qing finished speaking, he walked to the door without saying a word. He was somewhat recalling the events of later generations. Wang Pu and others wanted to get confidential information from themselves, so he picked some things from later generations and changed them to explain. Things in later generations were originally invented according to principles. Although people could not create them at this time, as long as they were After the principle is explained, people will vaguely feel that this thing is really possible, so that Wang Pu and others will believe it.
Yang Qing turned around and was about to continue telling Xia Houyue a few words, but found that she was lowering her head and thinking about something, so he knocked on the desk in front of her with his hand.
Yang Qing didn't know that it turned out that Xia Houyue felt that what he just said made sense and was thinking about it carefully. This time Xia Houyue came back to her senses and asked, "Brother, what's the matter?"
Yang Qingdao: "You must control this matter well and tell Wang Pu and the others step by step to avoid going too far. I will continue to tell you some plausible details in the future, so that your persuasiveness will be even greater."
"Brother, don't worry, Yue Niang understands."
"By the way, have you heard any new information about Wang Pu recently?"
Xia Houyue has also found out a lot of secrets from Wang Pu these days. Although they are all marginal information, Wei Min and Han Chong have already gained a better understanding of Wang Pu's fine work network based on the intelligence they have. Several Cao Wei school officials were discovered. Even though the ranks of these people are not high, I believe that by following the clues, the affairs of Qingque and the Cao Wei School under their control will eventually surface.
"No. Wang Pu is very wary, and my official rank is too low. It is usually difficult to get past him and see the people above him."
Yang Qing also understood that this matter should not be taken too hastily, but had to be taken care of slowly. He added: "Has Wang Pu asked you to hand over the jade pendant recently?"
"He has stopped talking about this matter recently. He just asked me to get as much information as possible from you."
After Xia Houyue officially became a schoolteacher, Wang Pu wanted her to fulfill her promise and give him the jade pendant that was the key to the cave hiding military supplies. But how could Yang Qing and the others let him get his wish so easily?
Xia Houyue still made various prevarications, saying that she would hand over the jade pendant after the king of Wei Dynasty entered Shu in the future. Now Wang Pu still had to rely on her to obtain the core secrets of the imperial court from Yang Qing. Although he felt helpless and angry, he did not Dare to force her to submit, and after a few attempts, she stopped forcing the matter.
Yang Qing nodded and said: "That's very good, but this person will definitely not forget this matter. When the time is right in the future, I might be able to use the jade pendant and the important information on me as bait to fish out the big fish behind him. "
"By the way, does Yue Niang feel embarrassed or in danger? If so, please speak up and we can terminate this action at any time."
Xia Houyue smiled: "It's not necessary at this time. Wang Pu and the others regard me as a strange move. As long as I get close to you to extract secrets, the slave family will be safe now."
"That's very good. This way the risk will be much smaller. But their plan may be in vain in the end."
