Saint Qin Batu

Chapter 123

Meng Ao looked at Ying Zheng with some seriousness, thinking constantly in his heart.

Meng Ao knew in his heart that although his second son could be regarded as a leader among ordinary people, there was still a big gap between him and the boy of the Wang family.

However, Ying Zheng's words were obviously hinting at Meng Ao.After he ascends the throne in the future, he will definitely give Meng Wu a lot of credit.

For people like Meng Ao, they are now extremely human ministers.There is very little room for further promotion, and even if there is such an opportunity, it is estimated that Meng Ao will not fight for it.The reason is very simple. Meng Ao, who is already a Marquis of Guannei, can almost be said to be the biggest bottom line that King Qin can tolerate.Going up further, King Qin will face the embarrassing situation where there is nothing to seal and nothing to reward.At that time, if the people of Qin and Chu do not make a move, the king of Qin will also make a move if the people of the Qin and Chu families do not make a move.

Therefore, for a person like Meng Ao, the prosperity of his descendants and the prosperity of his family are what he cares most about.

Qin's military merit system is extremely strict, but the so-called policy at the top and countermeasures at the bottom, the military merit system is not watertight.Many veterans in the army can also arrange for their own children to join the troops under their jurisdiction.At that time, it will be very easy to promote them by assigning them some tasks with high credit and low risk.

Of course, almost everyone in Daqin knew about this point.There is no intention of changing it, after all, if the water is clear, there will be no fish, as long as it is not too much, it is still allowed.

Similarly, although the Meng family's family law is strict, it is not static.The main purpose of the Meng family is to be loyal to King Qin.Now Yingzheng is in the position of crown prince, and he is also the prince of Qin, so he can also be regarded as an object of allegiance.

"Prince, my son's qualifications are still inexperienced, I'm afraid..." Meng Ao hesitated for a while, but still planned to refuse.After all, there are now three pillars in the court, and the situation is unclear.

Standing behind the crown prince Yingzheng is the most powerful old Qin faction, standing beside the crown prince rashly will undoubtedly arouse even greater hatred from the Chu faction.Moreover, people from the Yaodong lineage would also regard him as a traitor.It is obviously extremely unwise to do so.

"Old General Meng, you have underestimated your son. Zheng believes that in the future, your son will be famous in the Qin Dynasty with his own strength." Ying Zheng interrupted without waiting for Meng Ao to finish.

Meng Ao was stunned again, then cupped his hands and said, "Thank you for your kind words, Your Highness."

Ying Zheng nodded, then turned his head, meeting Meng Wu's eyes.Meng Wu was obviously more surprised than Meng Ao, and he was stunned for a few seconds before he came back to his senses and bowed his hands to Ying Zheng to thank him.

"Oh!" Meng Ao suddenly patted the table, and said with some annoyance: "His Royal Highness came to the humble house, but the old minister was so confused that he didn't even prepare a glass of wine. Come on, set up the banquet quickly!"

Ying Zheng heard that Meng Ao didn't want to be entangled in this anymore, so he didn't say anything more, bowed his head and said: "So, Zheng will bother the old general."

Although the Meng family is not extravagant, they can still prepare banquets of ordinary specifications at any time.And then, Ying Zheng and Meng Ao didn't say anything more tacitly, but toasted each other and chatted about some interesting things about Kanto.

By the time the banquet ended, more than two hours had passed.And Meng Ao brought his own nephews all the way to the gate.

"Don't see the old general off anymore, Zheng bids farewell." Ying Zheng said with a bow.

"Congratulations to the prince!" Meng Ao replied.

"Congratulations to the prince!"

Ying Zheng got into the carriage, and a man in a black robe had been waiting in the carriage for a long time.

"My lord, how is it?" The man in black robe is none other than Lord Wu An Bai Qi, eight years have passed, Bai Qi's face has not changed at all, it is still the same as before.

Ying Zheng stared out the window, slowly shook his head and said, "The timing is not yet ripe..."

"Did you not show the Tiger Talisman to General Meng?" Bai Qi asked with some doubts.

According to their plan, Ying Zheng will show the Lantian Tiger Talisman to Meng Ao during this trip.In this way, he obtained Meng Ao's secret support.

"Meng Ao is much more cautious than I imagined..." Ying Zheng still stared out of the window, and said methodically: "In my estimation, I am afraid that Lu Buwei's power is much greater than I imagined."

"My lord, what do you mean, the miscellaneous family has completely gained a firm foothold in the court?"

"Not bad. Presumably, Meng Ao also saw something."

Bai Qi frowned, and said: "Since Fan Ju, the miscellaneous families have not been in touch with each other. Even when King Zhao did not detect many people, it is indeed a great disaster."

"Well, not bad." Ying Zheng nodded, "Whether it is the Qin family or the Chu family, they have stayed in Qin for a long time. Although they are powerful, they have almost exposed their cards. Only this miscellaneous... ..."

For a moment, the carriage fell into silence.Miscellaneous Family, originally a dispensable small sect, has grown to such a degree under the hands of Fan Ju and Lu Buwei.Even in the last life, Ying Zheng didn't dare to be confident in completely eradicating Lu Buwei's miscellaneous family.

"Let's drive!" Zhao Gao's voice sounded from a distance outside the carriage.

"Hehe. The young master's attendant is quite clever..." Bai Qi laughed in the carriage.

"Well, he's very clever..." Ying Zheng said with a pun.

"Huh?" Bai Qi, who wanted to ease the atmosphere, also realized the meaning of Ying Zheng's words.Recalling that Ying Zheng asked him to deliberately reveal his whereabouts to the little eunuch, Bai Qi suddenly felt a sense of crisis.

"My lord, do you want to get rid of him?" A killing intent flashed in Bai Qi's eyes.

"No, keep him. He is a smart man, he will know how to do it, and you can rest assured if you keep him."

"Well, the old minister understands."

The carriage drove forward slowly, while the members of the Meng family still stood in place, watching the carriage leave respectfully.

"Huh?" Seeing that Ying Zheng's gaze never left the group of Meng clan members, Bai Qi followed Ying Zheng's gaze with curiosity.

A boy with a thick head and a thick head caught Bai Qi's eyes, "Oh? But he is about seven or eight years old, and he has already reached the middle of the day after tomorrow. This boy is very good."

After hearing Bai Qi's words, Ying Zheng also smiled and said, "Well, Meng Ao's eldest grandson, Meng Tian."

"Huh? Young Master, do you like this kid?" Bai Qi asked curiously.

Bai Qi knew in his heart how high Yingzheng's eyes were. This half-grown boy could actually fall into Yingzheng's eyes, and even found out his name, so he must be extraordinary.

"Uncle Master thinks, how can I be a great general?" Ying Zheng asked without answering.

"A general?" Bai Qi frowned, thought for a moment and said, "My Great Qin sharpens his sword with blood, and there are as many generals as there are stars in the army, whether it is the children of the old Qin or the children of the Chu family."

"Then what does the uncle think is handsome?"

"Well, my lord, please pardon the old minister's entrustment. Since the old minister left the army, only Wang Jian and Meng Ao are the handsome ones. Well, Wang Yan can barely be counted. It's a pity..." Bai Qi shook his head and said.

"What about handsome talent?" Ying Zheng continued to ask.

"Looking at it now, there is only one son of Wang Jian, Wang Ben."

"What does Uncle Master think of Meng Wu?"

"It's a general's talent, but if it's a handsome talent, I'm afraid it's still a little short."

"Hehe, that uncle missed his eyes." Ying Zheng smiled slightly and joked.

Bai Qi's eyes lit up, he glanced at Meng Wu in the distance with a little interest, and said, "Oh? Could it be that Meng Wu is still a handsome talent? But based on the information obtained by the old minister in the black ice platform, this son is not the same as sitting in the middle army. , it would be better to go into battle and fight with soldiers."

"Master, what I'm talking about is Meng Wu's eldest son, Meng Tian."

"Meng Tian?" Bai Qi was a little surprised, and couldn't understand how Ying Zheng saw Meng Tian's qualifications.

"Uncle, don't worry too much. For generations of military men in the Meng family, the eldest son, Meng Kuo, has the qualifications to be a general. Meng Wu is the second son of Meng Ao. Presumably, Meng Ao also deliberately sent Meng Wu to the family for the sake of family harmony. He has been cultivated into a general. As Meng Tian is the eldest grandson of Meng Ao, Meng Ao will definitely give him all he has. With Meng Ao's ability, he will definitely be able to cultivate Meng Tian into a general."

Bai Qi remained silent. Although what Ying Zheng said made sense, Bai Qi still felt that Ying Zheng had other basis to judge Meng Tian's qualifications.However, since Ying Zheng didn't want to say more, he couldn't ask more.

"If that's the case, then the young master can help you a little more." Bai Qi glanced at the Meng Mansion, which was already vaguely invisible, and said casually.

Ying Zheng smiled, but did not answer.

"Huh? No!" Bai Qi suddenly thought of something, and was shocked in his heart.

I also said before that the person who can be a general now is none other than Meng Ao Wang Jian.The handsome man is only Wang Ben.Now if you add Meng Tian.Doesn't that mean that Yingzheng already has the intention to take down the two families of King Meng?
If this is the case, then it will directly cut off the root of the old Qin lineage with military achievements?But doing so will undoubtedly completely tear the face off with the old Qin family.On the contrary, how to deal with the Chu family?Is it necessary to use Lu Buwei, a bigger variable?
Bai Qi looked at Ying Zheng's calm face, all kinds of doubts were flying in his heart.Although Bai Qi's status and status are extremely lofty, Bai Qi knows very well that people like Ying Zheng have the heart of an emperor like King Zhao.Once he is suppressed as a courtier with great achievements, he will definitely be tabooed by Ying Zheng in the future.

Even if Ying Zheng knew Bai Qi's heart to protect the country with every fist, he would still not be soft-hearted.If it was another person, perhaps the slightest act of transgression would bring death to him.

This is like Yue Fei in the Southern Song Dynasty. Can you say that he is not patriotic?Can you say he is not loyal to the king?Did Song Gaozong and Zhao Gou really not know?

It was extremely difficult for Song Gaozong to be able to reluctantly tolerate the huge military power and high reputation in Yue Fei's hands.But Yue Fei should never have interfered in the selection of the prince.

Such a provocative imperial power, as the emperor, there is only one way, and that is - kill!

"Huh." Bai Qi breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, even though Bai Qi's current cultivation base has reached No.1 among warriors.However, he is also very clear about Yingzheng's talent for cultivating immortals, and he dare not make a small fuss about it.The petite person in the past, even sitting there now, began to faintly exude a sense of calmness and composure.This feeling is like holding all living beings in the world in your hands.

ps: Today’s recommendation is inexplicably a thousand years ago, can it be stabilized?It can basically be kept at more than 900, and more will be added tomorrow
