Wang Wan, Wei Zhuang, and Feng Quji waited patiently without being arrogant or impatient.
They drank the tea soup that was difficult for ordinary people outside to drink. They all lowered their heads and wondered whether Meng Ao would see them.
Qin is a very deformed country. From the bottom to the top, except for the monarch of Qin, everyone in this country emphasizes military affairs and neglects literature.
A big country that can unify the world has not even had a complete talent training system for hundreds of years - all the civil servants of the Qin State are not old Qin people.
In the Qin State, where military merit is paramount, many older generations of generals and generals look down upon civil servants. It doesn't matter whether you are prime minister or not, or what official position you have, isn't it just a matter of the king's word?
Without military merit, it is nothing.
Meng Ao is such a person.
It's not that Wang Wan, Wei Zhuang, and Feng Quji have never worked with Meng Ao, they have long known what kind of temper Meng Ao has.
This vulgar veteran of the Qin State who always talks about the word "bird", no matter how many of them have been called bird people, they still dare not call them back.
There is nothing we can do.
On qualifications.
Meng Ao served the four generations of Qin monarchs including King Zhaoxiang of Qin, King Xiaowen of Qin, King Zhuangxiang of Qin, and the First Emperor.
Wang Wan, the most senior among the three, was just a retainer following Ying Zheng during the reign of King Qin Zhuangxiang.
On merit.
As Bai Qi's lieutenant, Meng Ao participated in the Battle of Changping. In his lifetime, he captured more than ten cities in Korea, more than thirty cities in Zhao, and more than fifty cities in Wei for Qin.
Wei shape to guard against barbarians.
Wang Wan sorted out internal affairs.
Feng Quji was responsible for supervising Wei Zhuang and Wang Wan.
Although the contributions of the three of them are not small, in the land of Qin, they are definitely not comparable to Meng Ao's solid military achievements.
On loyalty.
There was a mutiny in the Qinian Palace, and Meng Ao led his army into King Yong's territory and killed the rebel Lao Ai. He was a great contributor to Ying Zheng's ability to secure the throne of Qin. He had the merit of following the dragon, and Ying Zheng paid great respect to him.
No matter how loyal the three of them are and no matter what they do, they can't compare to Meng Ao who turned the tide and helped Ying Zheng when he needed it.
In the Qin State, Meng Ao could call anyone a bird.
Even Wang Jian, the God of War with the greatest military exploits in the Qin Kingdom, was scolded by Meng Ao as a birdman with eight scheming minds.
The three people who had suffered such humiliation, if it were not for the sake of future generations, they would never step into the gate of Meng Mansion and visit Meng Ao.
"My eldest father is not feeling well and it is inconvenient to see guests." Meng Tian walked back to the hall and said apologetically.
The eyes of the three people all showed that this was indeed the case.
This kind of behavior is very consistent with their impression of Meng Ao's arrogance - if he doesn't know how to fight, he's just bullshit.
"In that case, Wan won't bother you anymore, Mr. Meng, take care of yourself."
"It's such an unlucky thing that the situation will go away."
Wang Wan and Wei Zhuang successively expressed their intention to leave.
Feng Quji entered the Qin court later, and spent less time working with Meng Ao than Wang Wan and Wei Zhuang.
He was still a little unwilling to give up, and said reluctantly: "Since Mr. Meng is not feeling well, there is an acupuncture expert at the Jiji Mansion who can bring him to do some conditioning for Mr. Meng."
Wang Wan and Wei looked at each other - they are still young.
Meng Tian hesitated for a moment, then shook his head and declined.
"My eldest father took the decoction prescribed by the doctor and fell asleep. It is not appropriate to disturb him at this time."
Feng Quji followed closely: "Me."
What he wanted to say was: I can bring the doctors here first, and then I can treat him after Meng Gong wakes up.
"Doctor Feng Yushi."
But before he could say anything, he was interrupted by Wang Wan.
The Qin State respects the right.
Wang Wan and Wei Zhuang were both prime ministers, so there was no distinction between them in name.
But in the Qin court, in the hearts of the officials, Wang Wan was still as good as Gao Weizhuang.
The leader of the civil servants of the Qin Dynasty really didn't want to see his teammates continue to be embarrassed, so he interrupted: "Meng Gong needs to rest, and it is not appropriate to disturb him anymore. Wan has also been feeling unwell recently. Can you please ask a doctor from your house to give Wan acupuncture?"
"
It's not that Feng Quji couldn't understand the meaning of Meng Tian's words, he just didn't want to give up.
Now when Wang Wan heard what he said, he had no choice but to calm down, nodded and said: "It is a great honor for the doctor to condition the body of the Prime Minister and spread the word. Please come to the Prime Minister's house."
"One doctor is a doctor, and two doctors are also doctors. Dr. Feng Yushi doesn't mind if we go together, right?"
"It would be great if Mr. Zuo is willing to come."
The three of them bid farewell to Meng Tian again and walked out of the Meng Mansion together.
Meng Tian stood there, watching the three people leaving, knowing that they had offended the three people very much this time.
"All of them have made great contributions to the Qin Dynasty. Without their support in the rear, how can we kill the enemy bravely without any scruples? My eldest father can treat Ying Chengyu with a different eye, so why can't he look down on Wang Wan?
Waiting for others."
These days, because of the foggy conditions.
Meng Tian had been observing Ying Chengyu consciously or unconsciously, but he really didn't see anything unusual about Ying Chengyu.
If I have to say it, I sent all the guests on the balcony to Tingwei's prison a few days ago.
But Meng Tian really didn't like this kind of thing.
Just as Meng Tian was complaining, he felt murderous intent coming from behind him.
He looked back and saw that the veteran Meng Ao, who had just fallen asleep in his mouth, was staring at him with an unkind expression.
Meng Tian hurriedly stepped forward to help Meng Ao, and asked with concern: "Dad, why are you out? The doctor said that you went out to visit many generals a few days ago, coupled with drinking, your spleen and kidneys are deficient and you have insufficient energy and blood. These are all
Time should not move for a long time, but should rest frequently."
"I want you to go to the palace to find His Majesty. Why did you come to the front hall to meet these birdmen?"
"When he comes to visit, it would be inappropriate for his grandson to come out to see him off."
"If you don't like it, you don't like it. Why do you care about the red tape?"
Meng Tian was helping Meng Ao walk into the house when he heard the words "red tape" and felt very familiar.
As soon as I thought about it, I remembered that I heard these four words from Ying Chengxuan's mouth last time in Chang'an Jun's Mansion.
"Father, why did you treat Ying Chengzhen like that?"
"Huh?" The veteran raised his eyebrows and was about to get angry again.
Meng Tian continued: "Jun Chang'an, Lord Chang'an."
Only then did Meng Ao's expression calm down.
"Why do you treat Lord Chang'an differently, but don't like the prime minister on the left and the right on the right, the imperial censor?"
Meng Ao snorted disdainfully and said: "How can they be compared with Lord Chang'an? Lord Chang'an was the first one."
Meng Tian pricked up his ears and concentrated, but didn't hear anything else.
Turning his head, he saw Meng Ao staring at him with a serious expression.
"Tian'er, you are trying to trick my eldest father. If you still want my eldest father to live and the Meng family to survive, then don't let it happen again."
How could that Zhuzi matter be so serious and involve the fate of my Meng family?
Meng Tian didn't believe what Meng Ao said. Even though he saw that Meng Ao's expression was more serious than ever, he still felt that Meng Ao was exaggerating.
The Meng family was the only military family in the Qin State. Three generations of the Meng family served as generals and fought on the battlefield for the Qin State. The Meng family's status in the Qin State was extremely respected.
The Wang family headed by Wang Jian cannot be called a military family. A military family requires at least three generations of generals. The Wang family now only has two generations: Wang Jian and Wang Ben.
Although the Wang family seems to be powerful now, in fact, the hidden power of the Meng family is still greater in the Qin army - Meng Ao has too many old subordinates, and they are all from the same batch as Wang Jian.
Although these old subordinates of his are not as powerful as Wang Jian who is at the top, they are at least the mainstay of the Qin army, and many of them are high-ranking officials of the Qin army.
As long as Meng Ao is still alive, the Meng family will definitely be the number one martial arts family in the Qin Dynasty.
My Meng family is so powerful, how could it decline because of the past of a playboy? My eldest father is really old...
