Chapter 59
Just when everyone was waiting impatiently, a bell finally sounded from the palace gate. This time it was rung dozens of times, indicating that the court had dispersed. The entourage outside the door was relieved. Waiting for the court to disperse in the early winter morning was not the end of the world.
It was an easy thing. Due to the fighting outside the city, the usual one or two quarters of an hour to go to court was extended to an hour today, so it was particularly difficult for the entourage, as it seemed that the weather had become much colder.
When the palace gate opened, the ministers came out one by one. Logically, Mang Mao should have come out in the first group. But until all the ministers had dispersed, Mang Mao had not yet been seen. The Mang brothers felt that their hearts were beating with fear, and they did not know what was going on.
Ji. At the end, there were only a few loose ministers left. Mang Yin couldn't bear it anymore and motioned to Mang Shen to ask. Mang Shen walked towards a loose minister, crossed his hands and saluted: "Mang Shen, a humble man, has seen the doctor."
The casual minister quickly returned the greeting: "I've met Mr. Mang!"
Mang Shen said: "I don't dare to disturb you. My father has not returned from the court. Why do you dare to ask the doctor?"
San Chen said: "General Mang pays homage to the general every day, and Prime Minister Wei stays with him. It is probably to discuss the matter of paying homage to the general."
Mang Shen hurriedly saluted again: "I understand, farewell!"
The Sanchen replied: "I will prepare gifts to congratulate you another day!" After greeting each other, the Sanchen left. Mang Shen returned to his car and said: "Wei Prime Minister will stay with us to discuss the matter of paying homage to the general that day." The brothers.
Feeling slightly reassured, they exchanged excited looks with each other.
Another half hour later, when the hour of the hour was about to end, the palace gate opened again without ringing the bell. Wei Qi and Mang Mao appeared at the palace gate, bowed to each other and said goodbye. When the Mang brothers saw it, they hurriedly arranged their carriages and horses, and Mang Yin led them.
The horse passed, and the four brothers followed the car. When the car stopped ten feet away from the palace gate, the two stopped chatting, Mang Mao exited, Wei Qi retreated, and the palace door closed.
Mang Mao came to the car and completely ignored the five brothers who were saluting. However, he raised his hands to the two gentlemen standing behind them and said: "There are many things going on in the court, and Mr. Labor has been waiting for a long time, so I feel uneasy!" Mr. Hu Zhong couldn't even praise him.
Dare, but Mr. Che You only responded with a expressionless expression.
Mang Mao led people away from the palace gate and said as he walked: "I am about to ask your husband for advice on matters in the court. There are not many guests in Daliang Wei's family, so I want to borrow someone from my family. What do you think, sir?"
Hu Zhong said: "Just now, Lieutenant Daliang summoned Mr. Mangshen."
Mang Shen said hurriedly: "My son has not promised."
Mang Mao glared and said, "My father has made a promise."
Mang Shen was startled, saluted hurriedly and said nothing.
Mr. Cheyou asked coldly: "Why is Lieutenant Daliang doing this? Why is your Majesty doing this!"
Mang Mao said: "Daliang Wei proposed it in court, and the king has no objection."
Mr. Cheyou said: "Who is in charge of the military soldiers?"
Mang Mao said: "There is no discussion yet."
Mr. Che You said: "Why do you want to pay homage to your general, Your Majesty?"
Mang Mao said: "Daliang is in danger, and it cannot be put down without the talents of Qiancheng."
Mr. Che You said: "How to pay homage to a general?"
Mang Mao said: "I will go to the Imperial Ancestral Temple to pay my respects on the next day and worship the general in front of the temple."
Mr. Cheyou said: "What is the plan, Lord?"
Mang Mao said: "Strengthen the city defense internally, and strengthen the Qin Dynasty externally. We will retreat the enemy within a month."
Mr. Cheyou said: "Your Majesty, do you think this is okay?"
Mang Mao said: "The king taught me the imperial edict, so I have no choice but to comply with it."
Mr. Cheyou asked: "What should your Lord do today?"
Mang Mao said: "But fast and bathe in preparation for the day."
Mr. Cheyou said: "May the Lord do it!"
Mang Mao said: "Shen'er will go to Daliang Wei Mansion to accept the offer. Yin'er will return home first to arrange for fasting. The rest will escort the carriage, and I and your husband will go slowly." All the brothers saluted and agreed.
The eldest son and the youngest son left. One of the other three sons pulled the cart in front, and the other two followed behind. Mang Mao and the two gentlemen in the middle followed the cart slowly. Mang Mao looked relaxed and at ease.
Mr. Hu Zhong had a smile on his face, while Mr. Che You had an expressionless face. Everything seemed to be normal, but the topics the three discussed were not open to outsiders.
"General, what a good plan!" Mr. Hu Zhong said with a smile on his face.
"I was supposed to be able to take over the defense today, but I have to wait until tomorrow." Mang Mao looked relaxed, but his words were full of worries.
Mr. Hu Zhong said: "Your Majesty, the six of us are originally one body. When we go to Master Mangshen, there is only one missing in the tripod."
Mang Mao said: "Tomorrow... I don't know what else will happen! Can Mr. Cheyou teach me?"
Mr. Che You said: "I wonder why this plan is possible!"
Mang Mao said: "The Prime Minister of Wei recommended me to be the commander-in-chief of Daliang to attack and defend. Your Majesty said that this is not the way to wait for a talented person. He must pay homage to the general in the ancestral temple. So the ministers seconded the proposal, but I refused to agree with my three words, so the decision was made."
Mr. Hu Zhong said: "The king respects the virtuous man, but his ministers fail to speak accurately. How beautiful it is!"
Mang Mao said: "But I really don't know who is the mastermind, and his fantastic ideas are so exciting!"
Mr. Cheyou said: "This plan is exactly what we planned last night. This man is really the poison in our belly. One is to worship the general, the other is to borrow the wise, and we plan in every possible way, but he is easily relieved and entrusted to defend against the enemy.
It is an important task, and it will be completed within a month. If it is difficult to withdraw from the Qin Dynasty within this period, why should the general be established in the court?"
Mang Mao said: "How about the plan now?"
Mr. Che You said: "The minister's plan is poor. The Duke of the DPRK has proposed to worship the general, and has put the Lord on the fire. The ministers are fierce, and they must wait for the Lord to be defeated. And the Lord is inconvenient and does not accept the festival. I can only worship the general after him.
, act according to the opportunity.”
While they were talking, there was the sound of hurried carriages and horses behind them. Everyone turned around and saw a carriage approaching quickly. The people on the carriage seemed to have seen Mang Mao and his party, and stopped ten feet behind them. Everyone
Only then did he see clearly that the two people in the car were actually Mang Shen and Young Master Liang Wei. When the car stopped, they jumped out of the car, took two hurried steps, and both saluted. Young Master Liang Wei said: "The military affairs are urgent, and my father wants to stay overnight
When we leave the city, I would like to ask Mr. Mangshen to prepare his equipment and supplies as soon as possible. I am about to report it to the general for his decision."
Mang Mao returned the greeting and turned to see Mang Shen. Mang Shen said: "According to the order of Daliang Wei, I prepared the baggage and left the city overnight. I didn't dare to do it myself, so I went back to the house to ask for orders!"
Mang Mao said: "Now that I have followed Wei Daliang Wei, I serve Daliang Wei as my father, and Liang Wei's son as my brother. Your grain and fodder have been left in the army after leaving the city. Chen'er, you can temporarily give your grain and fodder to Shen'er, but not
I missed the military affairs of Lieutenant Daliang."
When Mang Chen heard this, he untied a section from his belt and handed it to Mang Shen: "Brother, you can use this section to support my food and luggage."
Mang Shen said: "How dare you alarm my brother! I will return my annual salary immediately."
Mang Mao scolded: "Don't act like a child, go home and straighten things out!"
Mang Shen and Mr. Liang Wei saluted, got back in the car and drove away. Mang and his entourage stayed aside the road to pay their respects.
When the car drove away, Manghai sneered and said: "If you go on an expedition with me, you even have to prepare your own food and fodder. It's really cheap!"
Mang Mao asked: "You two gentlemen, can we discuss this?"
Mr. Hu Zhong said: "Let me tell everyone that asking the young master to follow you is not to get close to the general and interfere with national affairs!"
Mang Mao said: "It makes sense. It should be taken straight and cannot be twisted, but it is done according to the order."
Mr. Hu Zhong said: "Although the young master went out of the city with Daliang Wei, the young master of Liang Wei would rather not be in the city! If he repays his kindness, wouldn't it be with me?"
