Chapter 65: Bait
"Mr. Zichi, I'm really sorry that one of Qing's poems brought your banquet to an end." 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 Qingdao: "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 was not interested in this, he would not reject it. As long as Shu people had real talents and knowledge and were willing to fight for the rejuvenation of the Han Dynasty, he was 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 Mr. Boyu are also reasonable. Sun Tzu said: Soldiers are important matters of the country, the place of life and death, and the way of survival.
If you don’t pay attention, 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: "Sir, what are you talking about? The two gentlemen are highly respected and knowledgeable. They can't even learn from Qing Dynasty. How dare you say something strange? Mr. Qing said that now he is like a leader of sergeants in Shu. It really makes Qing Qing
So shameful."
"What, you don't 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 relations 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 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 poor temperament of the aristocratic families in this era?
Come on, the water here is quite deep, and I don’t dare to step into it at will.
Qin Mi couldn't help being shocked when he heard this. He was deliberately promoting 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 pillar of support is also a matter of course. But when he heard Yang Qing say this, he also felt a drum 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 was getting to know Liu Yin, Yang Xi, both literary and martial arts.
talents.
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 brightly.
Moreover, Liu Yin was not only good at defense, he could also charge into battle. He was versatile 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 will 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? You are just a chief clerk and you are worrying about the Prime Minister. Yang Qing couldn't help but smile at his thoughts just now. He shook his head and put these thoughts behind him for the time being. It was a bit overwhelming.
, let’s take a nap in the car for a while.
"Master, here we are."
Zhou Xing's knocking sound outside the car made Yang Qing wake up from his sleep. He actually fell asleep. It seemed that he was really tired tonight. He waved his hand and told Zhou Xing and the others to rest early, and slowly opened the courtyard door.
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 relationship between the two
The names he uses have also 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 revealed it in a show
Several insignificant pieces of information were used by Xia Houyue to make meritorious deeds. Therefore, Wang Pu and the others' trust in her is increasing day by day. Of course, their expectation for her to obtain more important information from Yang Qing 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: "Captain Han and I have already prepared for this matter. A half-truth and half-false secret has been prepared for them. Bao Yueniang, 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 of great benefit to the 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 skill 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 mechanism and equipment floating in the air are currently under secret research and development, 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.
We won’t reveal secrets.”
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. I, a big man, have never made such magical objects, but there are so many miraculous things in the world, and there are so many strange powers, such as birds that can fly."
Animals, so why can't they fly between heaven and 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 said that, he walked to the door without saying a word. He recalled some of the events of later generations. Wang Pu and others wanted to get confidential information from him, so he picked some things from later generations and changed them to tell them.
Objects are invented based on principles. Although people cannot create them at this time, as long as the principles are explained, people will vaguely feel that this object is really possible. In this way, Wang Pu and the others will
Believed.
Yang Qing turned around and was about to continue to give 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 Xia Houyue thought that what he just said made sense and was thinking about it carefully. Now 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 others step by step to avoid going too far. I will continue to tell you some plausible tips 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 these people are not of high rank, I believe that by following the clues, Qingque and the Cao Wei school officials under his 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 me."
Yang Qing also understood that this matter should not be taken too hastily, but had to be taken care of slowly. He added: "Did Wang Pu ask 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 where the weapons and supplies were hidden. But how could Yang Qing and the others let him do so 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
He dared to force her to submit, and after a few attempts, he no longer forced 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 doesn't matter 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."
