"That old man actually invited you to a banquet? How unkind and unkind!"
Bu Er spat.
"Bu Er!"
Yang Qing glanced at Bu Er with disapproval.
This kid usually hides his emotions very well, so why did he become so reckless today?
As soon as he heard Yang Qing's voice, Bu Er also woke up in an instant.
He was indeed reckless. Fortunately, this place was remote and there was no one around. If those words were listened to by those who were interested, who knows how much trouble it would cause.
"Master, it was Bu Er who was wrong."
Bu Er lowered his head, regretting it very much.
"Now that you know you were wrong, you must remember it next time!"
Yang Qing has a deep relationship with Bu Er, but he has no intention of exposing the mistakes Bu Er made.
"Now that we are in Capital City, I don't know how many eyes are staring at us secretly, hoping that we will make mistakes and see our jokes."
"But, Bu Er, if we make a mistake, it will definitely be a disaster, do you understand?"
"The lesson from the young master is that Bu Er must be alert at all times from now on and never be careless."
"Yeah!"
Yang Qing responded and followed Bu Er back to the yard.
It was night, Yang Qing was reading by the paper lamp, but his brows were tightly knitted together.
During the day, he relied on his alertness to escape the trap dug for him by Wei Sizhong, and cleverly cleared his suspicions in front of the emperor.
However, in Yang Qing's view, although their emperor was a little unclear on the Wei Sizhong matter, he could see it more clearly than anyone else on other matters.
The reason why Chu Jinghui followed his wishes during the day and helped him solve this problem was because Yang Qing was of some use to him.
If he is useless as a minister, I am afraid that other mistakes will soon be found and punished for his crimes.
Since ancient times, emperors have been cold and weak. This is an iron rule.
Originally, after the Thousand Birthday Banquet, the ministers who were sent abroad should set off to return to their territory, but several days have passed, and Yang Qing still has not received the imperial order. This made him aware that the emperor might have to summon him for something else.
And the only thing that can be related to him is the situation of Yan Pass.
After all, Yang Qing has stayed in Yan Prefecture for so many years, and there are some things that cannot be seen in the report.
Yang Qing's premonition was confirmed the next day.
"Lord Yang, the emperor is calling you at Imperial Study for questioning."
After the morning court, Yang Qing was about to follow the others out of Hall of Mental Cultivation, but was blocked by Suotu Guards.
There was no hint of surprise on Yang Qing's face, and he just said calmly to Suotu: "Then I'll help Guard Suotu lead the way."
Suotu walked and glanced around. When he found that no one was paying attention to them, he whispered, "Lord Yang, the emperor has been in a bad mood in recent days."
"Hiss, seriously?"
Yang Qing finally had an expression other than indifference. "Why?"
However, he quickly reacted. "Is the Emperor in Yan Pass situation again?"
Suotu did not expect that Yang Qing would think of the relevant essence so quickly, and could not help but show a hint of approval to Yang Qing.
"Lord Yang, the future is indeed limitless."
To be able to think of the truth of the matter in such a short period of time with just a few words from him, a minister with such an exquisite heart must have a great fortune.
Originally, Suotu already had a good impression of Yang Qing, and now it is even more so.
Yang Qing glanced at Suotu: "Su Guards, this is just a joke between you and me, and it should never be said in front of others."
"Yang has little talent and little knowledge. If the emperor hadn't protected him, Yang might still be a dandy in this Capital City today."
"Those words must never be mentioned again."
Suotu just listened to Yang Qing's words, recognized his quick thinking, and praised him a few times on a whim.
Now that I think about it, I can't help but break out in a cold sweat behind my back.
What Yang Qing said is true.
After this incident, the excitement Suotu had before slowly faded away.
The two finally returned to their original state, walking quietly without saying another word.
While talking, Yang Qing looked up and saw a piece of Plaque in front of his eyes.
Imperial Study, arrived.
Suotu took a step forward and said loudly, "Your Majesty, I have brought Lord Yang."
Soon, from Imperial Study, the high-pitched voice of Eunuch Zhang, the right-hand man next to Chu Jinghui, came.
"Xuan!"
Yang Qing stepped forward and entered Imperial Study directly, while Suotu behind him was ordered to stay outside Imperial Study.
"I pay homage to your Majesty!"
Yang Qing saluted Chu Jinghui.
"My dear, please wake up quickly!"
Chu Jinghui got up from the desk and came to Yang Qing.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Yang Qing stood up from the ground, still standing with his head bowed.
"My dear, there is no need to be so formal. I have called you here this time just because there are some things that I want to discuss with you in detail."
Yang Qing Hearing this, he stood up and said, "I, I am scared."
"You have been in Yan Prefecture for several years. How do you view the situation in Yan Pass?"
"When I return to the emperor, I believe that the terrain of Yan Pass is dangerous, and the Yan Prefecture built on it is even more so."
Yang Qing paused, then continued, "Yan Prefecture has always been a battleground for military strategists. Moreover, Northern Liang and I, Western Chu, are not far apart, but the two places are completely different."
"Thus, Northern Liang is determined to possess me, Yan Prefecture. Now, although they have temporarily stopped fighting due to the Liu Mengde incident, given time, they will definitely come back again."
"Northern Liang takes away my Yan Prefecture, and if the desire to destroy me Western Chu never ceases, Yan Prefecture will never have peace."
Chu Jinghui's eyes were heavy. "Then what should I do if I follow your wishes?"
Yang Qing said extremely seriously, "In accordance with my opinion, we should take a two-pronged approach, both internally and externally!"
"A two-pronged approach? What does this mean?"
"I have also heard some rumors in Yan Prefecture, that the Northern Liang young emperor Cheng Ziqian and Regent King Cheng Hongzhuo seem to be inseparable, and the internal fighting between the two is very serious."
"But that Regent King is very ambitious and wants to expand the territory. If this person takes over Northern Liang's world, then I, Western Chu, will have a strong opponent."
"Then what if Cheng Ziqian is left behind? How should we deal with it?"
"Although this boy has achieved great success at a young age and has reached a high position, he has a kind-hearted nature. Compared with that Cheng Hongzhuo, he is more suitable to be an ally."
"If we can protect his throne, this Yan Prefecture dilemma will definitely be solved."
Chu Jinghui showed a smile on his face, "My love for you is very much in my heart!"
Yang Qing saluted quickly. "I am just telling the truth and do not deserve this honor."
"My beloved, you are just too serious, but I have thought of something that fits your plan."
"My lord, I am all ears."
Chu Jinghui continued, "Northern Liang sent someone to report a few days ago. Regarding Liu Mengde, Northern Liang is willing to send a princess to come and get married, as a sign of the good relations between the two countries for generations."
"When does this happen?"
Yang Qing raised his head.
