If you don't give up, I'd like to be your adoptive father.

Chapter 941: In ancient times, Bao Shuya gave up his position as prime minister. Today, I, Meng Qi, resign from my position as Grand Tutor.

"I don't like you either. I hate you just by looking at you. If I had Zheng'er's power as an emperor, I would have killed you long ago."

Queen Mother Zhao looked at Meng Qi and spoke her mind.

"But I trust you, and I believe you will not betray me or intentionally harm me.

It has been ten years since Zheng'er passed away. If it had not been for your support, I would have been forced by the ministers to return power to the court and choose another grandson to be the emperor.

If Yu Fengxian is really as good as you say, she can really sit firmly on the position of Grand Tutor.

There is no harm in it for me!

I will never see your old face again. Yu Fengxian is much more obedient and sensible than you.

I feel more comfortable when I am with her.

But the problem is that we don't know much about Yu Fengxian.

As soon as I met her, I immediately trusted her wholeheartedly. Which normal person can do that?
You threw the position of Grand Tutor to her, ran away, and no longer cared about anything.

If something really happens in the future, it will have nothing to do with you.

But I am still in Xianyang, and I have a long time to endure. I have to count on the 'Grand Master' to be my right-hand man.

Can she stand firm? Is she trustworthy? Will her troubles bring me trouble?
Will she not have a brain storm again and do things like slaughtering the gods of Shenzhou and stealing peaches, causing me to suffer heaven's punishment?"

The Queen Mother's words were indeed from the bottom of her heart, very sincere and reasonable.

Who becomes the Grand Tutor is both important and unimportant to her.

What’s important is that she was able to secure her position as regent queen mother mainly thanks to two people, one was Grand Tutor Meng Qi, and the other was Lao Ai.

But all she needed was the support of the Grand Tutor.

If Yu Fengxian could become the "perfect replacement" for Meng Qi, Queen Dowager Zhao wouldn't mind letting Yu Fengxian take the position at all.

Here lies the problem, can Yu Fengxian really be a perfect replacement for Meng Qi?

Like Meng Qi, he can command all the celestial masters of the Imperial Observatory, compete with the nobles in the court, and is completely trustworthy and will not betray her?

Meng Qi sighed, “I have already told you that there is absolutely no problem with Yu Fengxian’s abilities.

When I say that she surpasses me and all the ministers in the court, I am not flattering her.

The young sycamore tree seedlings are indeed not as tall and strong as the century-old pines and cypresses at the village entrance, which can shelter you from wind and rain.

But no matter how tall the pine or cypress grows, even if it lives for a thousand or ten thousand years, it will always be a pine or cypress and can never become a phoenix or a true phoenix.

The chrysanthemum tree is the young seedling of the Chinese parasol tree.

The civil and military officials in the court, such as Li Si, Guo Wei Liao, Feng Qiji, and even myself, are at most evergreen pines and cypresses, capable of being pillars of state. "

Queen Mother Zhao was full of suspicion, "Isn't this just flattery? I have never heard such disgusting words in my entire life.

If you could use similar methods on me and let me enjoy them, I would like you very much."

"You are just a stupid, vain, greedy and extravagant mediocre woman. The blessings and status you have in this life are all thanks to your husband and son. Apart from those two men, you are useless." Meng Qi said.

Queen Mother Zhao was furious, "Meng Qi, old dog, you are determined to rebel today, right?
You deliberately angered me and wanted me to banish you from the palace? Don’t even think about it! "

Meng Qi said calmly: “After all, you are the Queen Mother of Qin, and you can give me too many benefits, but I still speak the truth.

What can Yu Fengxian give me?
As long as she doesn't get angry one day and kill me like the immortal Huang An, I will be satisfied.

This kind of stinky shit, I really want to stay away from her, why should I flatter her? "

"If you are not flattering her, why do you praise her as unrivaled in the world, even Li Si and Guo Wei Liao are not as good as her?" asked the Queen Mother Zhao.

“Because I always speak the truth, without exaggerating or over-boasting.

After the decline of the Zhou Dynasty, before your son Ying Zheng, who was the number one overlord in the Central Plains?" Meng Qi asked.

Queen Mother Zhao said without hesitation, "Of course it's King Huan of Qi."

Whether Duke Xiang could be included in the “Five Lords of the Central Plains” is still debatable.

But there is no dispute about who is the leader of the Five Lords of Central Plains. It is Jiang Xiaobai!
Meng Qi asked again: "Why was King Jiang Xiaobai of Qi able to achieve eternal hegemony?"

Queen Mother Zhao frowned and said, "This is a long story."

Meng Qi shook his head and said, "Not long, just because of one person, Guan Zhong!
In terms of his ability to govern a country, Jiang Xiaobai is actually quite mediocre, a little better than you, but not much better."

"I am actually almost the same as King Huan of Qi."

The Queen Mother Zhao was flattered and delighted: You are so good, Meng Qi, once you start flattering people, your words are so pleasant to the ears, like the music of heaven!

Meng Qi rolled his eyes and continued, “But he has a very outstanding advantage, he is good at accepting advice, can trust wise ministers, and hand over power to his ministers.

Of course, this advantage became a fatal flaw after he met Yi Ya and Shu Diao.

In short, Jiang Xiaobai is not as good as your son Ying Zheng.

When he met a famous prime minister, he dominated the Central Plains; when he met treacherous and incompetent officials, he degenerated into a complete tyrant. "

"You mean, Yu Fengxian has the talent of Guan Zhong?" Queen Mother Zhao's face was full of doubt again.

Meng Qi shook his head and said, “I don’t know what Yu Fengxian’s true talent is.

Judging from talent alone, she and Guan Zhong should not be the same kind of people.

What I mean is that Jiang Xiaobai himself is rather mediocre, and with his own talents, he is unable to condense the 'top human king authority' that is close to that of the Human Emperor.

It was Guan Zhong who helped him consolidate the authority of the king.

In this respect, Yu Fengxian and Guan Zhong are of the same kind.

They are all top-notch "prime ministers" who can assist mediocre but obedient masters and consolidate the authority of the human king.

Even Yu Fengxian is stronger than Guan Zhong.

Guan Zhong had Da Qi as his foundation and spent decades working hard to cultivate the country. What did Yu Fengxian have?
She was only the prime minister of the barbarian state of Western Shu and served for only a few months.

In such a short time and with such a shallow background, she actually helped Xishu to gather the power of the human king. "

Queen Mother Zhao said: "Western Shu has a lot of background. You told me last year that although the ruler of Western Shu has the surname 'Li', he is a member of the Ying clan.

Therefore, in the process of the formation of the power of the human king, the dragon energy of the Great Qin did not exert too much pressure on him. "

Meng Qi said: "The Qin Dynasty's ancestor dragon has long since collapsed. What's the use of the remaining dragon energy? How can we suppress it?

Moreover, when I say that Western Shu has a solid foundation, I am only selecting generals from among the short and ugly people.

Compared with other countries in the Western Regions, it appears to have a lot of foundation.

How can it compare with Qi, the overlord of Shenzhou?"

Queen Mother Zhao said with a tangled expression: "Yes, the Great Qin Zulong has passed away. Even if Yu Fengxian is Guan Zhong, can he help me gather the energy of the emperor and forge the authority of the emperor?"

The veins on Meng Qi's forehead were throbbing, and he shouted, "Foolish woman! I'm using the story of Guan Zhong helping Qi Xiaobai consolidate the power of the Human King to illustrate to you that you don't need to doubt Yu Fengxian's ability.

How could I advise you to learn to be the second Jiang Xiaobai and have a big dream?

With Yu Fengxian surpassing Guan Zhong's "ability as prime minister", at most he can help your Ying family continue the bloodline and ancestral worship, and then gather the power of the king for the "Western Qin Empire" in the west and rule over 100,000 miles of territory in the west.

It is still a top empire and will never humiliate you, the descendants of the fallen royal family."

Queen Mother Zhao nodded reluctantly and said, "Even if she is qualified, can she be trusted?

All I know about her is that she committed evil deeds such as stealing peaches, killing immortals, going against the will of heaven, being punished by heaven, and being despised by the Queen Mother and the Emperor of Heaven.

Is this the same as Guan Zhong? "

Meng Qi said frankly: "Guan Zhong is a person favored by the heavens. Before he died, he was personally named the 'Lord of Wenqu Star' by the Emperor of Heaven, and his duty was 'God of Wealth in the Southeast'. He was a powerful God of Wealth, and his status was higher than many other Star Gods.

But the problem is, you also have to look at your own moral character.

Who among the immortals who are truly blessed by heaven would pay attention to you, the Ying family of Great Qin?
Yufengxian is certainly stinky dog ​​shit.

The present-day Qin is even more stinky and untouchable than her.

The conflict between the Jade Emperor and Yu Fengxian was, after all, just a dispute of egos.

Whoever wins or loses will only add an interesting anecdote to the fairy world.

The immortals smiled and had fun, even though it was embarrassing, it had nothing to do with their interests.

The Jade Emperor, however, hates your son Ying Zheng and the Qin Dynasty with a fierce hatred.

The struggle for fundamental interests such as the power of heaven and earth will never end until one dies.

Ten years later, you no longer have to rely on luck.

The Jade Emperor's disgust for you is ten thousand or a million times greater than that for Yu Feng.

At the beginning of the year, Yu Fengxian stole the big peaches. The Jade Emperor was willing to give her a chance and asked Zhang Tianshi to pass a message to her through Taiyi Dao, asking her to go to West Kunlun and become a Jade Girl of the Yaochi Lake.

Yu Fengxian refused, which led to the three disasters of thunder.

In all these years, have you, the Ying family, received any "revelation" from heaven?
No, it's fate.

You want to kneel, want to be the 'Son of Heaven', but you have no chance.

Yu Fengxian is just a piece of stinky dog ​​shit, but the Ying Dynasty is a deep cesspool!
You still have the nerve to despise her? Even if she doesn't despise you, you should burn incense and thank your ancestors for their blessings."

Queen Mother Zhao looked uncertain and said, "In any case, Yu Fengxian is not as reliable as you, I trust you more.

Yu Fengxian is at least a piece of stinky dog ​​shit, but you are Gaoling Lanzhi."

"Thank you for your kindness, Queen Mother, but I also want to stay away from this cesspool." Meng Qi said lightly.

Queen Mother Zhao asked excitedly: "As a virtuous immortal, do you still have any dignity left?"

Meng Qi said helplessly: "I have accompanied you and Daqin to this point, and I am exhausted and there is nothing I can do to save the situation.

There is nothing I can do, and I have done the best I can.

The Queen Mother forces me to stay in the court. What can I do?

To explore the Western Regions, one must face numerous magical powers and monsters.

I can't resist any one of them.

What's more, Xiniuhezhou belongs to the territory of Lingshan Buddhism.

Don’t you know what the relationship between your son Ying Zheng and Buddhism is?

Buddhism directly sent Yuchan to launch the Rebellion of the Thirty-Six Kingdoms, completely breaking off relations.

The unrest happening in the Western Regions now is basically caused by that group of bald thieves.

I am a Taoist master of Xuanmen. If I take you there to establish 'Western Qin', just think about it yourself, how much hatred we will incur?

Although Yu Fengxian has a grudge against Jin Chanzi, she is a registered disciple of the Buddha Randang.

When she goes to Lingshan in the future, with her talent and ability, she can at least attain the status of a Bodhisattva.

"Yu Bodhisattva" led you to Xiniu Hezhou to establish a nation, which is at most a sectarian dispute within Lingshan."

Queen Mother Zhao fell into deep thought.

Meng Qi softened his tone and continued, “Back then, Jiang Xiaobai wanted to appoint Bao Shuya as prime minister.

Bao Shuya knew that his talent was not as good as Guan Zhong's, so he gave up the position of prime minister to Guan Zhong.

No one has ever said that Bao Shuya is irresponsible and shameless.

People would only praise Bao Shuya for being loyal to the King of Qi in the most correct way.

Isn’t it the same for me now?
Yu Fengxian is Guan Zhong, and I will follow the example of Bao Shuya!"

After a while, Queen Mother Zhao said in a hoarse voice: "I don't want to leave Xianyang, and I don't want to go to the Western Regions to be a barbarian."

Meng Qi said: "Not to mention you, none of the nobles and common people in the Great Qin are willing.

Among the imperial descendants who were forced to migrate west, north, south, and east in recent years, leaving their ancestral land of China and going to foreign borders to establish their own countries, who did so voluntarily?
But there is no way.

Back then, the Qin Dynasty swept across hundreds of vassal states in the Central Plains and forced their eldest sons to take their ancestral tablets with them to establish fiefdoms outside the Central Plains.

Now that the Qin is weak, you only have two choices: either die or leave Shenzhou."

Queen Mother Zhao said: "I would rather die in my hometown of Shenzhou."

Meng Qi said in a deep voice: "If you want to die, no one will stop you, but you are the regent queen mother now, you can't just think about yourself."

Queen Mother Zhao sneered and said, "Only I am willing to listen to your analysis of the pros and cons.

The other princes and the chiefs (the heads of the minor clans of the Ying family) all regarded your idea of ​​nominating Yu Fengxian as the 'Grand Master' as nonsense and refused to pay any attention to you.

You still consider them, do they appreciate it?"

This is also true.

Almost a month has passed since Meng Qi and Xiao Yu met in Mangdang Mountain and Swamp.

During this period, Meng Qi had several discussions with the Queen Mother, ministers, nobles, and the Ying royal family.

The Queen Mother at least appointed Yu Fengxian as the "Grand Heavenly Master" without hesitation.

Others didn't even want Yu Fengxian to enter the court.

Also because so many people participated in the discussion, the news spread, and even the underworld of Mount Tai knew that "Yu Fengxian was recommended as the Grand Tutor of the Great Qin."

Meng Qi said: "You are the regent queen mother, you should have the awareness of being the 'head of the clan' and the 'head of the country'.

It’s not like you haven’t been arbitrary in the past.

You made Lao Ai king, who wouldn't object? Did you listen?

You wanted to renovate the Afang Palace and the Queen Mother's Mausoleum. The ministers once again advised you to "reduce labor and encourage farming to rest the people", but you did not listen.

Now that something really serious has happened, you are saying something like 'the court officials are in an uproar'."

He flicked his sleeves, his eyes were resolute, his tone was cold, "I'll leave it to you, after Yu Fengxian entered China, her fate star also jumped into the Shenzhou astrological chart, which is a sign of prosperity for Daqin and benefit for the Ying family.

If you believe in me, you should worship Yu Fengxian as your national teacher as soon as possible.

If you don’t believe me and refuse to seize this last chance, I won’t force you.

As the saying goes, do your best and leave the rest to fate.

Anyway, I have done my best, and I have no regrets leaving Xianyang."

After saying this, he turned and left the palace.

Queen Mother Zhao chased after him, shouting in panic, "Meng Qi, please don't leave without saying goodbye or suddenly go far away! I will talk to the ministers when I get back.

Even if Yu Fengxian really becomes the Grand Master, you have to continue to stay by my side and be a great celestial master.

After Bao Shuya gave up his position to Guan Zhong, he did not leave Qi, but was willing to become Guan Zhong's subordinate. "
