Chapter Eighty-Eight: Gathering at the National Teacher's Mansion

After Jingci left the palace, the next day the lord of the kingdom made two decrees.

One is a clear decree that the national teacher Jingci will be fully responsible for the affairs of Zhigonghe, and the court will fully cooperate.

The other is a secret decree, sent to the sons of Dazhiguo, so that they can listen to the arrangement of the national teacher to solve the affairs of the Heavenly Wolf Gang, and whoever solves it best is the prince's priority.

When the two wills were at once, the court didn't care too much about the clear will, and everyone had expected it before.

The second secret decree is very mysterious, according to the meaning of the will, who is strong and who is weak in the solution ability of the Sky Wolf Gang, that is, Jingci has the final say, that is to say, the lord of the country handed over the candidate for the prince to the national teacher Jingci to choose, and the national teacher said that whoever is good, who is the best candidate for the prince.

The National Teacher's Mansion suddenly became the place that attracted the most attention from the courtiers outside the imperial palace. In order to be able to adjust the border issue with peace of mind, Jingci blocked all the people related to the secret decree from the door, and just let out the wind, which means that the sons think about it themselves, and after a while, the national teachers will meet themselves.

On December 24, Jing Ci met with the envoy of the Grand Duchy at the National Teacher's Mansion and told the other party that for the sake of friendship between the two countries, he hoped to discuss a joint solution, and proposed a most suitable plan, that is, to let the Great Zhiguo build a dam, and at the same time limit the height of the dam, intercept part of the water for the agricultural use of the Grand Zhiguo, and release part of the water downstream for the agricultural use of the Grand Duchy.

After hearing this, the envoy of the Grand Duchy couldn't help but nod his head, and finally said: "Mr. Jingci, thank you very much for being able to consider both countries at the same time, and to be so thoughtful. I will submit this plan to the lord of the kingdom for his decision. ”

Jing Ci said, "Okay, then bother the messenger." As he spoke, he picked up a letter from the table, handed it to the messenger, and said, "Please send this letter to the lord of your country, I have already written the plan and the pros and cons in the letter, and I believe that the lord of your country will seriously consider it." ”

The messenger took the letter, carefully put it away, and said: "It is the duty of a courtier to do something for the border, how dare you bear the word 'labor', which makes the ministers panic." Finally, the messenger said, "Rest assured, sir, I will deliver this letter to the lord of the kingdom as soon as possible." If it goes well, it will be back in more than two months. ”

Jing Ci said: "Okay, please keep an eye on this matter, and if you have a reply, please come to my house immediately to discuss." ”

The messenger said, "Yes, please rest assured, sir." I will take care of this as a top priority. ”

Yang Miao learned about the two holy decrees from Shan Zhengmin, and he didn't go to the National Teacher's Mansion recently, he stayed in the Jingbei Courtyard, and in order to be able to clean up faster, he bought more than 20 slaves from the slave market and came back to tidy up the house.

This house is said to be a courtyard, but it is actually very large, there are wing rooms in the east and west directions, there are about thirty rooms, the north is the big house where the master lives, there are five rooms, the south is the middle of the gate, and the two sides are also houses, one side is the warehouse, and the other side is the horse shed and the carport.

In the middle of the entire compound was a large garden, and Yang Miao opened up a place for everyone to practice martial arts.

After meeting the ambassador of the Grand Duchy, Jingci made a trip to the palace and reported the situation to the lord.

A day later, near the end of the year, Jingci recruited several of his students to the National Teacher's Mansion, and Yang Miao and Shan Zhengmin were also on the list.

When Yang Miao arrived at the gate of the National Teacher's Mansion early in the morning, the chief steward who was standing there waiting directly asked his subordinates to take Yang Miao to the main hall.

Yang Miao walked through the front yard, and before he reached the main hall, he heard the sound of speech inside, and one of them was very loud and full of confidence.

"Xiaodan, you went out with the teacher this time, you have grown up a lot, and you are coming back this time to marry a wife and prolong the heirs. When the man said this, he burst out laughing.

A familiar voice of Yang Miao said: "General Zhongsun'er, you still like to joke so much, if your senior brother Shan Zhengmin is angry, the teacher will also be angry." ”

Yang Miao knew that it was Prime Minister Ouyang Qi and General Zhongsun Er who were talking.

"I and Marquis Shan are both brothers, if he knows that I call him his son, senior brother, then Xiao Shan will not be beaten when he goes back, even if he doesn't beat, reprimand is indispensable. Zhongsun Er said: "Could it be that you, the prime minister's senior brother, will go to the Shan Hou Mansion to explain to the old marquis." ”

Ouyang Qi said: "The rules set by the teacher, if you dare to disrespect it, you can forget it, and you dare to disobey it." ”

"You, good. Zhongsun'er picked up the tea and said to everyone, "Everyone drink tea." ”

After arriving at the gate of the main hall, the family who led the way said softly: "Young Master Yang, this is it, the little one retires." ”

Yang Miao saw that there were also four family members standing at the door of the main hall, and there were already several people inside, Yang Miao looked at the door and entered the main hall, and saw that there were five people sitting, and the others were all standing.

Sitting in the first place is Prime Minister Ouyang Qi, Yang Miao has seen it, and no one else knows it.

Yang Miao saw Shan Zhengmin's position inside, and also walked inside, next to Shan Zhengmin.

Everyone present glanced at Yang Miao, which means that you didn't say hello to the prime minister, whether you are brave or hard-winged, or ignorant.

"Hello Senior Brother Shan. Yang Miao said softly.

Shan Zhengmin smiled at Yang Miao and said softly: "Here are our senior brothers, I will introduce you to you." ”

"Okay, thank you, brother. Yang Miao said.

Zhongsun Er had never seen Yang Miao, but he knew that Shan Zhengmin had always been serving by Jingci's side, this person was so familiar with Shan Zhengmin, and it was estimated that he was also a disciple by Jingci's side, after all, she was a general who usually didn't care which disciple the teacher accepted.

Zhongsun Er said in the direction of Shan Zhengmin: "Little Hou Ye, this person next to you is eye-catching. ”

Shan Zhengmin replied: "Back to the general, I was just about to introduce to all of you, this is Yang Miao, a disciple of the teacher in the Great Mountain Country, and when the teacher comes back, he will take it with him to gain some knowledge." ”

Zhongsun Er looked at Yang Miao, smiled and said deliberately: "Yes, disciple in the room, then do I want to call Senior Brother." ”

Yang Miao didn't reply, but looked at Shan Zhengmin. Shan Zhengmin did not speak, and was quiet for a while.

"Then it's up to the general himself, if you call your senior brother, it's not wrong. Ouyang Qi said suddenly, "If you don't want to call, the teacher won't blame you, after all, you usually don't call me senior brother when you see me." ”

Zhongsun Er also didn't expect that the prime minister would actually come out to solve the siege, he knew that the prime minister liked to watch other people's excitement the most, and this time it was very abnormal.

Zhongsun Er thought about it and said, "The tea is gone, add water." ”

The housekeeper immediately came in with a kettle and filled the general's cup with water.

There were two people standing next to the general, three people standing on the prime minister's side, and there was one person on Shan Zhengmin's side besides Yang Miao, and there were three people sitting, and the others were standing sporadically.

Shan Zhengmin took Yang Miao to introduce them one by one, Prime Minister Ouyang Qi, General Zhongsun Er, Privy Envoy Wei Cai, Imperial Historian Situ Qian, and Doctor Yuanren. There are several other senior brothers, Yang Miao was more impressed by a young man named Zuo Qing, although the clothes were neat, but they were very old, and at a glance they knew that they were living a poor life, and they could see a sense of arrogance through their eyes.

Everyone saw that the general did not continue to entangle, and they also felt strange, only the prime minister knew that the general looked rough, but in fact he was very shrewd. The person he wants to protect as prime minister, this person is definitely not ordinary.

After that, there were five scattered people, and after they had seen the prime minister and the general, they stood aside and waited.

After a while, Jing Ci came in from the entrance of the main hall, and the five people sitting there also stood up and greeted Mr. Jing Ci together.

Jing Ci looked at everyone and said, "Okay, it's all here." So he walked straight to the right place.

Seeing Yang Miao, he took his hand and turned to everyone and said: "This is Yang Miao, a disciple who was accepted by the teacher in Dashan, he is not familiar with him here, you can take him, and I will take care of Yang Miao as a substitute teacher." ”

Everyone saw that Jingci actually introduced Yang Miao so solemnly, and said in unison: "Yes." ”
