Hearing that someone was waiting for him here, to be honest, Mr. Xiao's first reaction was to make him a little wary, wondering if he was going to call someone over, but it seemed that it was too late to call someone over at this time. p>
The person who came to invite Master Xiao was Lao Qi, one of the Thirteen Taibao.
Lao Qi looked at Xiao Qinyan and said with a smile: "If the Prime Minister needs to call his servants, that's okay. Our young master allows it. Of course, don't let our young master wait too long!". p>
Xiao Qinyan no longer felt so worried after hearing this.
Since others have such magnanimity, it is impossible to say that they want to murder themselves. Moreover, since I am the Prime Minister of a country, I will not say that I have no courage at all.
Xiao Qinyan smiled and said: "It's okay. Since you don't mind, just ask someone to send a message to my servant to pick me up. There is no need to waste time here!".
Lao Qi smiled and clapped his hands: "Xiao Xiangguo is really brave. Since Lord Xiangguo has such an idea, please come with me!".
After walking for a while, Xiao Qinyan also discovered some people hidden around him. The good guys all had bright eyes, and this team was all wearing different costumes. To be honest, even Xiao Qinyan
At this position, he also knew the forces in the army, but he still had never seen such people.
Xiao Qinyan's first reaction was to know that the person who invited him might not be a simple person!
Thinking of this, Xiao Qinyan also took a deep breath.
After getting on the carriage and having a cup of tea, Xiao Qinyan also felt that the carriage had stopped.
Sure enough, I heard outside: "Master Xiangguo, we are here, please get out of the car!".
After Xiao Qinyan arrived at the place, he saw a pavilion as soon as he got off the carriage, and it was surrounded by guards wearing military green clothes. Every few people stood in a team, patrolling here at all times.
If there is any sign of trouble, it will be discovered immediately, and the archers hiding in it will definitely send it on its way.
When Xiao Qinyan passed by a guard, he also discovered their origin!
Generally, the guards in the south wear shoes with one layer of soles, but if they are replaced by people from the north, they will wear three layers of shoes. The effect of this is to keep warm. In other words, these people are from the north. p>
When Xiao Qinyan thought of this, he instantly knew who the man who invited him over was.
This must be the new generation of Zhenbeihou, the master of flower armor!
Thinking of this, Xiao Qinyan felt relieved, knowing that his life was not in any danger, but why did the Marquis of Zhenbei find him in this way?
Lao Qi also said to Xiao Qinyan at this time: "Master Xiangguo, please invite me!".
When Xiao Qinyan saw this scene, he was very shocked. This was the first time he saw the elite of Zhenbei Army, and it seemed that these people were not ordinary guards. They could stay by Zhenbei Hou's side.
After such a long time, I must be the best among the best.
At this time, Zhou Ming was sitting aside drinking tea and did not get up to greet him. When the other party came to him, he put down the teacup in his hand, stood up slowly, and said with a smile: "Xiao Xiangguo is so brave.
!".
When Xiao Qinyan heard this, he also smiled indifferently: "Where, the Marquis wants to invite me, how can I, Xiao Qinyan, not appreciate it? But to be honest, I am still a little surprised, why would the Marquis think of inviting me?
Why don't I, an old man, come over and have a chat?".
Zhou Ming waved his hand, indicating for Xiao Qinyan to take a seat.
"Lord Xiangguo, I am joking. You are a person below one person and above ten thousand people in the court. How can you say that?".
When Xiao Qinyan heard this, he just waved his hand and said nothing more. Everyone knew some things well, and there was no need to be serious about the polite words.
After Xiao Qinyan sat down, Lao Qi came over, poured a glass of strong wine and handed it to Xiao Qinyan.
While passing the tea to Xiao Qinyan, he said: "Master Xiangguo, why don't you try this pot of fine wine? This can only be tasted by the Zhenbei Army, and it is also worth thousands of gold outside!".
Xiao Qinyan looked at the wine beside him and didn't think much about it, just picked it up and took a sip.
However, just after drinking it, a burning sensation spurted out from his abdomen. After a long time, Xiao Qinyan could only hold back two words: "Good wine."
Zhou Ming smiled and signaled Lao Qi to leave.
At this point, Xiao Qinyan also knew that the Marquis of Zhenbei was probably going to talk about something.
Zhou Ming said at this time: "I have heard about Lord Xiangguo's reputation when I was in the north. It was very popular, but it seems that Lord Xiangguo has encountered some things in the officialdom recently. I wonder what Lord Xiangguo thinks about it?"
.
Xiao Qinyan didn't say much, he just said casually: "Xiao Xiao, what do you think? All this is a gift from the emperor. The emperor gave me everything, so naturally, as a minister, I can only do things for him carefully.
How can there be any complaints? Everything can be done according to the emperor’s wishes!”.
Zhou Ming also sighed when he heard this. He is really an old fox, and his words are impeccable. No wonder he can stay with the emperor for so long and endure for so long. Of course, there is a certain reason.
Zhou Ming picked up the wine glass, and Xiao Qinyan also quickly picked up the wine glass. The two clinked with each other and drank it all in one gulp.
After putting down the cup, Zhou Ming suddenly talked about Gu Qianfan: "It seems that some people are plotting against your son behind your back. I wonder if Mr. Xiang Guo is interested in this? Do you know who these people are?".
Xiao Qinyan's expression changed when he heard this. Not many people knew about this matter, but he didn't expect that the Marquis of Zhenbei would also know about it.
After thinking for a moment, he still spoke: "Since Mr. Hou said that, did he hear something or understand some people's movements?".
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
Zhou Ming nodded: "Yes, I have some people's evidence here. I can give it to you at any time. I just don't know if Mr. Xiangguo needs it. Of course, according to Mr. Xiangguo's ability, he should also know who these people are.
That’s it!”.
This is what is said in official circles. Whether you want it or not is actually two attitudes. If you want it, you can continue to talk about the next thing. If you don't want it, then I'm afraid Zhou Ming will ask someone to send him away.
Xiao Qinyan also knew that with the current strength of the Zhenbei Army, if he could gain a firm foothold among the emperor and the army, then even the emperor would not be able to move him like before. But he really didn't know that with the current
Considering the strength of the Zhenbei Army, why does he still need to find himself?".
When Xiao Qinyan heard this, he knew it was time to take a stand.
Looking at Zhou Ming, he also said: "To be honest, Mr. Hou, I really don't know. With the current strength of the Zhenbei Army, where else do you need to use an old man like me? But since Mr. Hou asked this,
, then let me also say, if the Marquis is willing, I, Xiao, will naturally be willing to be a friend of the Zhenbei Army. After all, one more friend is much better than one more enemy."
"Master Xiangguo is indeed straightforward, but just like what Master Xiangguo said, in some matters, it is much better to have one more friend than one more enemy. Your Excellency Xiangguo is the prime minister, but it seems that the people below also have some criticisms. In this case, then
Our Zhenbei Army is willing to help Mr. Xiangguo secure this position. From now on, Mr. Xiangguo will also be my friend of the Zhenbei Army. I wonder what Mr. Xiangguo thinks?".
When Xiao Qinyan heard this, he was overjoyed in his heart, but he really didn't know where he could help Zhou Ming. You must know that these are not just a few casual words, but something that weighs all his wealth.
, although it is already too late to place a bet now.
Xiao Qinyan replied: "If the Marquis can really do this, I, Xiao Qinyan, will naturally be a friend of the Zhenbei Army. If the Marquis is of any use, just say hello casually.
Just leave the rest to me!".
Zhou Ming also laughed when he heard this: "I heard that the emperor recently had the idea of granting a marriage. I wonder if the Prime Minister knows about this?".
Xiao Qinyan also nodded after hearing this: "Yes, I have indeed heard about this matter, and the target seems to be the fifth princess, but Xiao has heard some news, that is, it seems that our princess is interested in that
I have some feelings of admiration for the young general Ling Buyi, and I am afraid there will be some complications here."
"Lord Xiangguo, I know why the emperor suddenly thought of marrying me."
Xiao Qinyan smiled helplessly: "Master Hou, who in the entire Song Dynasty doesn't know that the Zhenbei Army is the only force in the world, and even the emperor has to avoid its edge, but if you become his
If you ride a dragon and become a son-in-law quickly, even big problems will be solved, the imperial power will be stabilized, and the Song Dynasty can be guaranteed no matter what happens. This is killing many birds with one stone!".
When Xiao Qinyan saw this, he immediately understood why Zhou Ming called him. Could it be that Zhou Ming was very resistant to this marriage? Did he want to use himself as a microphone to directly tell the emperor that he was not willing?
Thinking of this, Xiao Qinyan suddenly became nervous. To be honest, he was a little scared. If he really told the emperor about this matter, the emperor might really be furious. Even if there was nothing he could do to them, he might be in trouble in the future.
I will also be on guard day and night!
Xiao Qinyan asked cautiously: "I wonder what the Marquis thinks of this marriage? If the Marquis has other opinions about this marriage, then Xiao is willing to deal with it."
In fact, everyone is a sensible person, and they all know what the situation is after this sentence. Xiao Qinyan also began to test Zhou Ming's mind. If he is really unwilling, then he will find a way to find a suitable person for Zhou Ming, then this will be a great achievement.
One thing, then his position in the court in the future may really be second only to the Marquis of Zhenbei. Xiao Qinyan's heart began to feel hot when he thought of this.
I even thought about it. After returning home, I would immediately send someone to record all the beautiful girls in Tokyo for them to choose from.
Zhou Ming's answer surprised Xiao Qinyan: "No, this marriage is completely acceptable, but it cannot be just one person, and the princess cannot be the head wife."<
/p>
Hearing this, Xiao Qinyan was instantly embarrassed. To be honest, although he knew that the ability of the Zhenbei Army now far exceeded that of the Song Dynasty, but if this was the case, then the whole world would know that the royal family might no longer be able to suppress Zhenbei.
Army.
For the emperor, this kind of thing is absolutely unwilling to happen, and he suddenly started to retreat, and he might also fall out.
Zhou Ming naturally saw what he was thinking in his heart and said to Xiao Qinyan: "Not just anyone can become my wife, Zhou Ming. If someone wants to force me to agree, even if I agree, then I, Zhenbei
I’m afraid even the hundreds of thousands of soldiers under our command will not agree.”
When Xiao Qinyan heard this, his brows suddenly tightened and he didn't know what to say.
But fortunately, there was a twist of events. Zhou Ming said at this time: "If you really want me to agree to this matter, then it will be very simple to select a few well-behaved, generous and beautiful women from the royal family, and make Ben Hong satisfied.
Only then can she be his wife. As for the fifth princess being able to become the waiting concubine, I think Mr. Xiao also understands my thoughts."
Xiao Qinyan was extremely happy when he heard this, and he quickly raised his hands and said: "Thank you, Lord Marquis, for this contribution. Please rest assured, Lord Marquis, I will definitely handle this matter and make you satisfied. I don't know if Hou Yi still has it."
There are other things that need to be explained. If Xiao is determined, I will go through fire and water, and I won’t say no."
Zhou Ming said: "After I heard that Ouyang Xu, the new explorer, is about to become the son-in-law of the Gao family, I wonder if this is a thing?".
Xiao Qinyan never expected that Zhou Ming would suddenly get involved in a new science exploration. In Xiao Qinyan's eyes, these people are just like ants, and they have no ability to remember them at all.
But in order to deal with it, Zhou Ming still nodded: "Yes, I have heard about this matter. I wonder what you mean, Mr. Hou?".
Zhou Ming said: "I don't like this person very much, and the existence of this guy also makes a woman around me very uncomfortable, so I am thinking about what should I do to make such a person get the punishment he deserves?
”.
Zhou Ming smiled. Xiao Qinyan also knew that this guy must be unlucky, but Xiao Qinyan also knew very well that if it was really necessary to deal with a new science prospect, it would be a piece of cake. The reason why he told himself was probably to see
It depends on your sincerity.
When Xiao Qinyan heard this, he quickly expressed his position: "Please rest assured, Mr. Hou, Xiao will definitely handle this matter. Since he wants to marry the daughter of the Gao family, it is not easy. Then let him be ruined and gain nothing."
Come, wait for Xiao to see if the daughter of the Gao family is beautiful. If so, she will be sent to the Marquis's house for good training. As for Ouyang Xu, let him feel what it means to go from heaven to hell.
