Looking at the familiar faces under the pavilion, Yang Qing was also very happy. He quickly stepped forward and clasped his fists and said: "Mr. Zichi, Youchang, and Anguo, how can you be so virtuous and talented as Qing? How dare you come here to greet us? The three of you are so generous." , It’s really embarrassing for Yang.”
Qin Mi stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Your Majesty has come back from a thousand miles away, so it's natural for us to go out of the city to greet you. We haven't seen you for two years, can you please let me know?"
"Mr. Zichi is right. Mingzhi has established extraordinary achievements in Nanzhong. It is really enviable. You will treat me this time when I come back." Ma Di also said with a smile.
Hearing the two joking, Yang Qinglian said he didn't dare, and said modestly: "I'll forget about Da Sinong's jokes, why is Brother Youchang making fun of me too?"
Last year, Qin Mi was worshiped by the emperor as the Great Agriculture Minister and one of the Nine Qings. He was regarded as extremely noble. Personally speaking, his career had reached its peak.
After all, he was self-aware of the three higher up officials and did not dare to think inappropriately. Moreover, since Xu Jing became a disciple during the Zhang Wu period, the Han Dynasty has never appointed or dismissed any of the three Dukes.
Hearing that Yang Qing deliberately called him the Great Si Nong, Qin Mi pretended to be dissatisfied and said: "Why, you are only allowed to be promoted to a noble title, and I can't become a Great Si Nong?"
"How dare you kid? Sir, if you don't want to be a great farmer, Situ and Sikong can also do it in the future." Yang Qing said with a smile.
"Haha, you Mingzhi, after two years of separation, it is really more interesting. Cough cough, cough cough..." Qin Mi laughed heartily when he heard this, and even coughed from laughter.
Seeing him smiling like this, Yang Qing shook his head helplessly, wondering if his words were so funny, making Mr. Zi Chi laugh like this.
"Anguo, I haven't seen you for a few months. You seem to have lost weight?" Yang Qing looked at Guan Xing and said.
"Mingzhi didn't know something. After Anguo came back from the southern expedition, he trained his soldiers even more diligently. He stayed in the military camp for more than twenty days in January. How can he not lose weight after working so hard?" Before Guan Xing could reply, Ma Di asked at the side. Yang Qing explained.
"I see." Yang Qing nodded and said to Guan Xing: "It is a good thing to be loyal to one's duties, but Anguo must also pay attention to rest. After all, the revival of the Han Dynasty cannot be separated from a healthy body."
Historically, Guan Xing died before Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition, and the specific time was within the last one or two years. It is a pity that this descendant of Guan Yu and a generation of young generals could not be seen on the battlefield of the Northern Expedition.
Therefore, since Yang Qing and Guan Xing met, he has repeatedly reminded him to pay attention to his body. However, according to Yang Qing, although Guan Xing has become thinner, his body seems to have become stronger. Signs of illness.
"It seems that I need to be more careful and look after Anguo in the future." Yang Qing smiled secretly.
"Thank you Mingzhi for your concern. I'll take note of it." Seeing that Yang Qing had told him to take care of himself as soon as he came back, Guan Xing was moved and nodded in agreement.
"The greetings are over. This is not the place to talk. Let's go to the city and talk later." Qin Mi suggested.
The three of them naturally agreed and led their entourage across the bridge into the city through Jiangqiao Gate. Yang Qing did not plan to go home first, but planned to go to the Prime Minister's Mansion to report to Zhuge Liang first. Putting public affairs first before private affairs was what an important minister would do.
"Mr. Zichi, Anguo, I will report to the Prime Minister first, and we will get together in the evening."
At the fork in the road, Yang Qing said goodbye to Qin Mi and Guan Xing, made an appointment for a gathering place in the evening, and then transferred to Ma Su's carriage and drove straight to the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Opening the curtains, looking at the endless stream of people on the street, and listening to their voices one after another, Yang Qing felt that Chengdu's prosperity had finally recovered, and the panic and confusion of the first year of Jianxing could no longer be seen on people's faces.
It seems that after three years of recuperation, Yizhou's vitality has finally been restored, and the precarious situation after the death of the late emperor is gone forever.
"It seems that we have finally passed the most difficult time, and finally have enough energy to look towards the north." Putting down the curtain, Yang Qing sighed softly.
Ma Su responded with approval: "Yes, it has finally come to an end. Fortunately, the Prime Minister turned the tide, and this allowed me, the great man, to retain the chance of revival."
"Actually, it is not just because of the Prime Minister's talent, but also because of the many loyal people who are as young as Chang, that the big man can save his last breath." Yang Qing added: "As long as I, the big man, work together as one, Sanxing will be prosperous." The Han Dynasty will definitely succeed."
"Ming Zhi is absolutely right." Ma Diye (this chapter is not finished yet!)
Chapter 205: Seeing Old Friends Again
Influenced by Yang Qing's inspiring words, his voice became a little high-pitched: "It would be better if the big man could have more talents like you."
"No, you Chang is too praised. I just have more luck than ordinary people." Yang Qing waved his hand and said modestly.
"There is no need for Mingzhi to be too humble in front of someone. I don't know your talent yet?" Ma Su smiled and said enviously: "Mingzhi has done such amazing achievements in Nanzhong. It is really enviable to be granted the title of marquis and general. .”
Ma Su also served as the prefect of Yuexun, but he did not take up the post because he disliked the location being far away from the central government. Now that he saw Yang Qing's great achievements in Nanzhong, he really regretted his original choice.
Yang Qing said: "Hey, Qing just happened to meet him at the right time. Speaking of dealing with some barbarians, it's nothing. If you go to Yuexi, Youchang, you will definitely not lose to me."
What he said was half true and half false. Although the rebels such as Gaoding Yongkai were large in number, their combat power was not strong. It was much easier to deal with them than to deal with the Wei and Wu armies.
However, without the strong support of the imperial court, it would not be that simple to eliminate Gaoding with the help of the Yuexun government. Yang Qing felt that if Ma Su went there instead, considering his lack of practical experience, it would be a bit tricky. .
"If I go to Yuexun, my achievements will not be lost to those of Mingzhi." Ma Di felt that it made sense after hearing this, and thought to himself.
"Although the Southern Barbarians are weak, they have a large number of people and are not afraid of death. They are not easy to deal with. Mingzhi, please tell me the specific situation of how you eliminated Gaoding. I have wanted to know for a long time." When it comes to military matters, Ma Su became interested and said energetically.
Yang Qing knew early on that he liked to discuss military strategies, so he picked out some key battles with the Gaoding rebels and told them to him. In this way, the two of them talked about military affairs all the way, and finally arrived at the Prime Minister's Mansion.
"Uncle Qi is waiting here. Ma and I join the army to meet the Prime Minister." Looking at the familiar gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Yang Qing gave an order to Wu Que.
After Zhou Xing entered the city, he and Mulan were sent back to the small courtyard of Xiahou Mansion by Yang Qing first. They went home first to put away all the luggage, and then cleaned and put it away. Otherwise, it would be too late when Yang Qing came back from meeting Zhuge Liang. .
"No." Wu Que agreed and took several guards to find a place to sit down at the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Yang Qing and Ma Di entered the mansion, walked through the halls and courtyards, entered the middle gate, and arrived at the outer courtyard of Xiangshe. The outer court was where all the Cao Cao's offices were held. Along the way, there were many people who knew Yang Qing. When they saw the former chief secretary who was now returning from joining the army, they all came forward to greet him.
Yang Qing looked at him with a smile and returned the courtesy one by one. Seeing that he had become an important official in the imperial court but still had no airs, everyone couldn't help but praise him secretly.
"Qing has seen Jiang Junjun before, but I haven't seen him for two years. His demeanor in joining the army is still the same." As soon as he entered the inner courtyard of the prime minister's residence, Yang Qing bumped into another acquaintance.
The person who came was none other than Jiang Wan. He walked very quickly, showing that he had something important to do, but there was no sign of urgency on his face. His appearance was neat, his demeanor was majestic, and he had the dignity of a famous minister.
Jiang Wan has now joined the army from his post as Cao Yu in the West. When he saw Yang Qing standing in front of the pavilion to greet him, he hurriedly walked down the corridor and cupped his hands and said, "It turns out to be Ming Zhi. I didn't expect you to come back so soon. I am just the prime minister." Still talking about you."
"Qingzheng is here to meet the Prime Minister."
Jiang Wan said: "In this case, it is more important to meet the Prime Minister. You and I will talk about it when we have time. I am about to ask Mingzhi for advice on the political affairs and people's livelihood of Yue."
"That's fine, I'll join the army later in the day." Yang Qing saluted.
Jiang Wan said, "It's up to you to understand." After saying that, he bowed to Ma Di and said goodbye.
"Prime Minister, Ma Canjun and Yang Canjun are asking for an audience outside the room." In Zhuge Liang's public room, a middle-aged scribe with a good appearance gently opened the door, walked to Zhuge Liang and bowed in salute.
"It's You Chang and Wei Gong, let them in." Zhuge Liang said warmly while lowering his head to review the document.
"Prime Minister, it is not Yang Yi who joins the army, but Yang Qing who joins the army." The middle-aged scribe explained.
Upon hearing this, Zhuge Liang stopped the pen in his hand, raised his head and said with a smile: "It turns out that Mingzhi is back, please let them in quickly."
"I have met the Prime Minister."
"Qing has met the Prime Minister."
Ma Di and Yang Qing were led by middle-aged scribes and went inside to pay their respects.
Zhuge Liang stood up and said with a smile: "Haha, no need (this chapter is not finished!)
Chapter 205: Seeing Old Friends Again
Thanks for your courtesy, Mingzhi is finally back. Okay, so the three Yangs from the Prime Minister's Mansion have finally arrived. "
"What is Sanyang's name?" Yang Qing was confused and looked at Zhuge Liang with confusion.
