Great Qin had a prosperous age

Chapter 655: Han Xin, kid, you’ve grown taller! (Please give me a monthly recommendation ticket!)

Sun Ao sat, his ears seemed to be shaken by some big wave, and his heart could not calm down for a long time.

Sun Ao looked at Xiao He, and his heart seemed to be stirred up.

"The Duke said this, then all the rich and powerful people in the world are guilty."

Xiao He said directly:

"Wealth and honor due to unrighteousness are like floating clouds to me."

After hearing this, Sun Ao naturally couldn't sit still. He was eager to get up.

"My lord, if you don't care about fame and wealth, do you want to be a sage like Confucius?"

Xiao He shook his head repeatedly,

"How can a fool like Xiao He become a sage like Confucius? Xiao He only thought of saving as many people as he could with his own meager strength. The world was devastated by the continuous war, and the nobles and powerful invaded large areas. The land, and the common people are humble, so they can only farm with them, and they will not starve to death. The previous government has suffered for the common people for a long time."

After hearing this, Sun Ao naturally looked up to Xiao He with admiration.

"The Duke is so ambitious and knows how to start with the details instead of just talking about state affairs. No wonder His Majesty treats the Duke so favorably today."

Xiao He was still unhappy after hearing this.

"I am really in a dilemma about the crowning ceremony of the Yu family's heir."

Sun Ao stroked his beard, his eyes filled with smiles.

"My lord, I, Sun Ao, dare to ask your lord a question. I'm offended."

"What do you want to ask sir?"

"May I ask if the Duke thinks he is the most powerful person in Chen County?"

Xiao He paused, shook his head and said:
"The prince is the brother of the current queen, and his position is so noble that I naturally cannot reach him."

"Then do you dare to ask if the Duke thinks he is the person with the highest status in Jiangdong?"

Xiao He naturally shook his head again and again.
"Of course not. General Zhao Tuo guards Jingchu. All the princes of Jingchu and even the county guards like us respect him."

"Does the Duke think that the Yu family will only invite the Duke?"

"how do I say this."

Sun Ao pulled the lapel of Xiao He's clothes and the two approached.

"If this person invites the brother of the current queen, the Duke must go. If someone from the army goes, the Duke must also go."

Sun Ao continued:
"Two of His Majesty's confidants are already here in Jingdi. Don't you think it's strange that someone like the Duke is serving as the county guard in Chen County?"

Xiao He stroked his beard and said slowly:

"I have always fulfilled my duties, but I have never made such a long-term plan."

"How can we not be aware of the emperor's will? Don't let the prince mess up important things. The Yu family is a prominent local family. If you can be loyal to the emperor, the prince will make a great contribution."

As soon as Xiao He mentioned the point, he suddenly understood.

"I'm going to send someone to inquire."

"What is the prince going to inquire about?"

"Naturally, let's see if the prince has received the invitation and if he plans to visit in person."

"The Duke's words are wrong. Even if the prince does not go, the Duke should have gone to greet the Yu family long ago."

"They have invited me several times, but I refused to go."

"Why doesn't the Duke want to go?"

"When something happens to the people of Jingchu, they don't come to the county officials, but go to the Yu clan chief. All they do is ask the Yu clan elders to organize weddings and funerals for their family. The people's eyes are on it. There is no official government. If I go to his house again, wouldn't it only further enhance his prestige, which will not be conducive to the jurisdiction of the people and villagers in this area."

Sun Aoze said:

"This moment, that moment. At that time, the Duke had just arrived in Chen County. Now everyone in Chen County knows about the Duke's character. If you go at this time, you are the one who is willing to give face to the Yu family. "

Xiao He hesitated again and again.

"I'll just wait."

After hearing this, Sun Ao smiled and said:

"Mr. Jun, if you don't listen to me today, let's see. If you don't go, someone else will go. This Yu family is the family that His Majesty favors today. I know many Jingchu clans, but they Few people in China can see the current Majesty and the Empress Dowager, only this Yu family, that is the big family that the Empress Dowager treats with courtesy. The lineage left by the Chu royal family who once performed the fish sacrifice for the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager naturally attaches great importance to it. If the Duke of the county does not Go, who are you not giving face to?"

"If it is true as what Mr. Wang said, then the prince will definitely go to this banquet, and I will just go with him when the time comes."

After Xiao He said that, he pulled away and left.

Sun Ao stayed indoors, feeling itchy in his heart for a while.He knew that His Majesty was playing a big game now, and he was just waiting to see.Sun Ao believed that Wang Wu's coming to Jingchu was definitely not an unintentional move by His Majesty.

Xiao He was full of doubts. On his way out of the backyard, he met a handsome young man.

"Who are you? Why haven't I seen you before?"

"Don't you recognize Han Xin?"

Xiao He suddenly remembered and quickly approached and took a closer look. This person was Han Xin. He just washed his face and tidied his clothes, and he looked very handsome.

"Han Xin, kid! I haven't seen you for two years, but you've grown a lot taller!"

Han Xin was very happy after hearing this, but he said modestly:
"Although I have a body of seven feet, I am unable to answer the door."

"I heard yesterday that you arrived at the house, but I couldn't see you because of official business."

"My lord, please do not blame yourself. Lord Meng will not give up. Han Xin was able to have a roof over his head last night. Han Xin has heard from Mrs. Xiao and is here today to thank the lord."

"I watched you grow up, and I treat you as half a son. Don't say such things between you and me."

I think back then, when Xiao He had to take his family to Chen County due to promotion and transfer, he once thought about taking Han Xin and his mother back with him.But Han Xin refused. He could accept temporary favors, but he could not cling to Xiao He's family shamelessly like a maggot.What's more, he hadn't grown up at that time, and his mother was seriously ill, so neither of them could work for the Xiao family.

Han Xin and Xiao He both thought of this incident at the same time, but Xiao He didn't mention it, just to save Han Xin's face; Han Xin also refused to mention it, he just kept this kindness in his heart, kept Xiao He's character in his heart, and silently repaid him. .

"My lord, Han Xin wants to ask your lord to give me a job."

Xiao He heard this and said:
"I was planning to recommend you to someone. Now that you are here, you are not in a hurry to find something to do. You can stay at home for now."

After hearing this, Han Xin hurriedly said:
"My lord, this must not be done. How can Han Xin live in the lord's house for nothing?"

After hearing this, Xiao He held his hand and walked all the way to the front hall with a smile in his eyes.

"Then you can be a messenger messenger in my mansion these days."

Han Xin listened and agreed.

"Assigned by the Duke, Han Xin will definitely do it himself, and will never let the Duke down."

Xiao He thought in his heart, you kid, your heart is as high as the sky. If I give you this job today, I'm afraid you won't be able to hold on for even a month, and then you may have to find another job.

No matter what, I'll polish your temperament first, and then recommend you to that person when the time comes.
