Prime Minister take care

Chapter 442
When Meng Qing came to the Prime Minister's Mansion, he saw not only Yang Xian, but also Xia Gongni who was eating and drinking at the table.

"It's Zong Shi! What's the matter?"

After Meng Qing saluted, he glanced at Yang Xian, then glanced at Xia Gongnie with some embarrassment, and suddenly felt that the words he had prepared were a bit difficult to say.

He didn't expect such a coincidence that he ran into Xia Gongnie when he first came to the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Seeing Meng Qing's hesitation, Yang Xian smiled and said, "Zong Shi, just tell me if you have anything to say! Although your Majesty is young, it's time for him to become familiar with political affairs."

Xia Gongnie held the little golden bowl without raising her head, focusing on the dishes on the table.

Seeing that Yang Xian didn't seem to notice the hint he gave, Meng Qing felt helpless.

"Prime Minister, I discovered Huan Ni's hidden forces in the city of Haojing in the city."

"Oh? Is there such a thing?"

Yang Xian sounded a little surprised, but there was no expression on his face.Meng Qing saw it in his eyes and knew it in his heart.

"This group of people should be Fang Yuting's Divine Machine Guards, or other monks from Liang Ting. They are lying in ambush in the city of Haojing, just to wait for an opportunity to cause trouble. Not long ago, they found me and wanted me to cooperate with them . I dare not hide it, so I came immediately to report it to the Prime Minister."

"Everyone in the world knows that Zong Shi is my loyal minister of the Great Zhou Dynasty. If it were not for Zong Shi in the battle of Cangqiu, I am afraid that more officers and soldiers of the Great Zhou Dynasty would have lost their lives under the city of Cangqiu, and we would not have won so easily. In this case, God Why did Jiwei find you, Zong Shi, and want you to cooperate?"

Meng Qing knew that he couldn't hide it from Yang Xian, but Xia Gongnie's voice rang in his ears.Xia Gongnie said casually, with a piece of meat stuffed in her mouth.

"He's lying!"

"I dare not!"

Meng Qing bowed his hand, and he was still a little upset after receiving such 'praise' from the emperor.

"This gang of rebels falsely claimed that my uncle's surrender was a fake surrender, and they wanted to use this to blackmail me. This statement is false, but at this moment, people's hearts are undecided. Many people in Haojing City have been coerced by Huan Ni. If they bite I'm afraid the last bite may have been contaminated. Therefore, I came here to report this matter to the Prime Minister."

"Your Majesty is benevolent, and has already decreed that those who were oppressed by the situation before, as long as they are determined to draw a clear line with Huan Ni, then they will forget the past. Zongshi need not worry too much."

Meng Qing looked at the "kind" Majesty behind the dinner table with a mouth full of meat, and the feeling in his heart was really hard to understand at this moment.

"Prime Minister, I have something to discuss with you."

Meng Qing said in a low voice, while not forgetting to watch Xia Gongnie's reaction.This is a very sensitive topic, and it is also the reason why Meng Qing comes here, but Xia Gongnie cannot know this.

"Zong Shi, don't worry, let's talk about it here."

Yang Xian was very generous and didn't seem to care at all.

"Yes!" Meng Qing cupped his hands and said, "I also discovered that General Huben Xia Jieshu is related to these traitors."

When Meng Qing said these words, his heart almost reached his throat.He looked at Xia Gongnie with some uneasiness, but the other party didn't react at all and continued to eat haphazardly.

Xia Jieshu is the commander of the imperial guards and one of the core figures of the Xia family.Logically speaking, Xia Gongnie would never be so calm after knowing about this matter.

Was she pretending to be calm, or was she trying to test Yang Xian's reaction?

Meng Qing was uncertain, but unexpectedly Yang Xian exclaimed.

"Is what Zong Shi said true?"

"General Huben is recruiting clients these days, and I discovered that Fang Yuting's traitors have mixed in. I just don't know. Does General Huben know?"

Meng Qing's words were actually heart-wrenching words.If Xia Jieshu knew about it, he would naturally not be able to escape the charge of having evil intentions.If he didn't know, it would at least be a charge of improper employment.

No matter what, Xia Jieshu couldn't escape from this beating, or at least he would be dismissed from office.

The reason why Meng Qing told Yang Xian about this matter was because he wanted to see Yang Xian's attitude.After all, whether this matter is big or small, it all depends on how Yang Xian wants to operate it.If it really gets bigger, I am afraid that many people in the Xia family will lose their official titles.

But now that Xia Gongnie is beside him, Yang Xian doesn't have the attitude he imagined.What disappointed Meng Qing was that Xia Gongnie didn't show any attitude.

They all say that Xia Gong is wise and virtuous. Is it possible that this girl is already so scheming at such a young age?
Meng Qing was surprised, but Yang Xian let out a loud cry, looking very surprised.

"Your Majesty, how do you think this matter should be handled?"

"Ah! What's going on?"

Xia Gongnie raised her head. The meat in her mouth had not yet been swallowed. She looked very indecent and did not have the dignity of an emperor at all.

"It's what Marquis Guiyi said about the Huan family's traitors sneaking into Lord Xia Jieshu's house."

Are these monarchs and ministers acting on each other, or are they testing me?
Meng Qing was filled with doubts, but then, he heard a conversation that he couldn't let go of at all.

"Who is Xia Jieshu?"

"It's the one who wanted to recruit the imperial army a few days ago."

Xia Gongnie scratched her head, as if she didn't remember it at all.

"It's the gatekeeper who you can often see when His Majesty leaves the palace, the one with a coaxing air."

"Which one?"

Xia Gongnie's face was stained with vegetable leaves, and she was still a little confused. Yang Xian explained.

"He's the slut who wears a hundred pounds of bright yellow armor all day long and doesn't feel too heavy."

"Ah! It's him!"

Xia Gongnie seemed to finally know who General Huben was who controlled his [-] imperial army, and waved his hand.

"I've long disliked that guy. Every time I come to my Xiangfu's house for dinner, he's always nagging and won't open the door. Deal with him!"

"Then what does Your Majesty want to do?"

"This is not easy, dig a hole and let him fall into it!" At this point, Xia Gongnie looked up at Meng Qing, "I think this guy is good, let him dig the hole!"

"."

Although Meng Qing has seen a lot of bizarre and nonsense things in his more than 20 years of life.But those things, compared to the scene in front of me now, are ridiculous and nonsense!

"Chenchen.!"

Meng Qing was a little dazed at this moment, neither kneeling nor standing.After all, these were the words of the emperor, and they could be regarded as orders. But how could he accept such a nonsense order?

"General Huben Xia Jieshu disrespects the emperor and has ulterior motives, colluding with traitors, and intending to do evil. However, the emperor is generous, and he is of the same mind. Now I have specially ordered Guiyi Hou Meng Qing to handle this matter. If Xia Jieshu can repent, he will let the past go. If not, we will be punished again.”

Therefore, the considerate Yang Xian quickly translated Xia Gongnie's words and gave Meng Qing an acceptable word.

"I obey the decree!"

Seeing Meng Qing go away as if he had lost his soul, Yang Xian sat down and looked at Xia Gongnie.

"Your Majesty, what do you think of what I told you?"

"That's a very tiring thing. Let's do this! If my husband gives me another three days of cooking, I'll reluctantly agree!"
