I am not a deposed emperor of Han Dynasty

Chapter 48

Before Liu He could react, Meng Ban had already grabbed Liu He's sleeve and made him kneel beside him.

Liu He didn't ask any more questions, and knelt down obediently.

"Your Majesty, are you also here to see the nobleman in the palace?" Meng Ban lowered his voice and asked in panic and surprise.

"Your Excellency? What Honorable Person?"

"He is the king of our Changyi Kingdom."

When Meng Ban said this, he looked around several times, as if he was talking about something serious.

Seeing his serious appearance, Liu He felt a little amused in his heart, but he still nodded and complied indiscriminately.

"Yes, I came to see him too."

Perhaps seeing Liu He's indifference, Meng Ban began to lecture with a serious face.

"You can't be careless, you have to take the matter of entering the palace to meet the king in your heart."

"The king and the magistrate are one family, and the magistrate is the emperor. Although the majesty is not the emperor, he is also a nephew."

"It's a great blessing for us ordinary people to see it once. Not to mention a long life, at least it can prolong life."

"If the king remembers the name, it will be even more extraordinary. People like me will be rewarded with a few gold at the last time. You don't have to wait in the position of Yicao. At least you can pick up The official position of a lieutenant comes and goes."

"Lieutenant, you have heard of it. It is the envoy in the Lieutenant's mansion. In this Changyi country, apart from the Prime Minister, the Lieutenant is the most airy."

"That's a great way to go out. There are chariot battles in front and cavalry officials in the back. They can line up from the south gate to the north gate."

Meng Ban babbled a lot of nonsense, but Liu He was a little confused by what he said, and he didn't know how to intervene for a while, and he really looked like a little servant who entered the palace for the first time.

"Meng Dongzhu, have you met Lieutenant Wang Ji?"

"Wang, Wang what?" Meng Ban, who was eloquent, stopped, opened his mouth, a little distracted.

"It's Changyi Kingdom Lieutenant Wang Ji Wang Shijun." Liu He enunciated clearly.

"I-I haven't seen this before, but I have seen the patrol team."

Meng Ban might also feel that he was talking too much, so he wrinkled his old face and smiled dryly, then stopped talking.

"Is there any good business for Master Meng to come to Changyi Palace today?"

Speaking of this "good thing", Meng Ban immediately regained his energy and opened up the chatterbox as before.

"Hey, envoy, you are a distinguished guest of our family, you must go to the humble house next time, our whole family will have to entertain you."

"Huh? How do you say this?"

"You just asked the villain about the pattern yesterday, and the worker officer of Changyi County, He Shijun, came to the shop early this morning, insisting on refunding the miscellaneous fees for the pattern that we collected earlier, what kind of attitude is that? Not to mention how kind."

"He Shijun said that it was because he misheard the words of the middle school engineer Ma Yanshou Shijun. It is not that he has to accept miscellaneous fees, but that he does not need to accept miscellaneous fees, and he will never accept them in the future."

"Is it because you told Minister Changyi about this after you went back yesterday, that's why Mr. He came to refund the miscellaneous expenses to us?"

It seems that Mr. He is still a little in awe, and he can be allowed to stay in the position of worker officer for the time being.

There is no need to alarm the Prime Minister of Changyi for these trivial matters, it only needs Ma Yanshou to come out and take care of it.

But Liu He still said: "Well, it's all thanks to Prime Minister An Le's insight and swift action."

"This An Le Xiang is wise, but you are also very virtuous and willing to speak for our people. This is not easy."

"Look, this has saved us tens of thousands of dollars in miscellaneous expenses. This is not a small sum."

Meng Ban spoke so excitedly that some old tears flowed from the corners of his eyes.

Tens of thousands of dollars is not a small amount. It can improve the life of Mengban's family a lot, and even save a lot of money.

So the few tears he shed were really not fake.

"It's just a little effort, it's nothing to worry about, the owner Meng should be happy."

"Yes, what Shijun said is that villains should be happy, should be happy." Meng Ban wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes with his sleeve while talking.

After recovering a little emotionally, Meng Ban brought the conversation back to the present.

"That's just the first good thing of the day."

"Oh? Leader Meng also encountered a second good thing?"

"Of course, otherwise the villain wouldn't be here, right?"

A little bit of complacency appeared on Meng Ban's wrinkled face.

"Then I'd like to hear the second best thing about Meng Dongzhu, and I'll be more happy by the way."

"At the time when Shen Shi was approaching, the villain was taking the three unsatisfactory sons of the family to clean up the sundries in the workshop. Suddenly, a carriage stopped at the door."

"The villain originally thought it was a peasant landlord who came to order a car or overturn it, but he never expected that the young man who came down turned out to be..."

When Meng Ban said this, he stopped suddenly, looked at Zhou Nei again, and then continued: "It turned out to be the visitor next to the King of Changyi!"

"Oh, what's so strange about the visitor, he is just a small official with a hundred stones, and my rank is only two hundred stones."

"The envoy is not just an ordinary guest, but also the chief guard of this palace!" Meng Ban was a little dissatisfied with Liu He's reaction, and said with an emphasis.

"If I remember correctly, the head of the guard is only an official of four hundred shi, and he is far from the lieutenant you mentioned." Liu He said with a deliberately disapproving expression.

"Hey, sir, you don't know now."

After Meng Ban finished speaking, he put on the appearance of an old man giving advice to young people.

"Whether it's the visitor or the head of the guard, they are all close servants of the king. Regardless of their low rank, they can still see the king every day."

"That's why what they say represents the meaning of the king. As long as they are willing to speak a few words in front of the king for someone, that person will definitely be able to make a fortune!"

Unknowingly, the over-excited Meng Ban talked about Che Jilu, and said the words he had just said to Liu He in a different way.

It seems that Meng Ban has really been intoxicated in the dream of being successful.

In the eyes of ordinary people, the county magistrate in Chang'an is too far away, and the king of his own country is the sky above his head: a simple sentence can bring prosperity and wealth to people.

How could they expect that these kings are not the sky at all, they are just a cloud at most, and they are also a cloud that looks beautiful but cannot bear wind and rain.

"Master Meng hasn't said what the visitor wants you for?"

"He said that the king has taken a fancy to the villain's carpentry skills and wants to meet the villain."

When Meng Ban said this, the smug expression on his face almost overflowed from all five sense organs.

Even the somewhat sparse eyebrows kept picking up.

"It is indeed a good thing to be recognized by His Highness." Liu He echoed.

Maybe it was because he was in a good mood, or maybe he was too proud, Meng Ban reached out and patted Liu He on the shoulder, and said condescendingly: "Don't worry, the villain will say something nice for you later. Let the prince's rank be raised."

Liu He was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, "Then there will be Lao Meng proprietor."

"you are welcome!"

Just when the two were talking happily, a person rushed in from outside the hall.
