Hou Sheng is a well-known figure for Qi, which is now and even for decades to come.

This is mainly because of Hou Sheng's identity.

At this moment, the two people sitting at the top in this hall had extremely deep relationship with Hou Sheng.

The current Queen Mother of Qi State is Housheng's own sister.

The current king of Qi, King Jian, was Housheng's nephew.

Hou Sheng is actually the current uncle of Qi.

This uncle is quite extraordinary. You should know that this King Jian of Qi is actually the kind who doesn't like to be in charge of affairs. Then King Jian of Qi is quite filial and obeys his own mother, the Queen of the King. As the Queen's favorite younger brother, Hou Sheng, who has great influence on the Queen of the King, naturally has a great influence on the national affairs of Qi.

Now Housheng is the Grand Secretary of Qi, which is equivalent to the Minister of Justice and the Minister of the Dali Temple. Like the Grand Secretary and the Grand Secretary Tian, ​​he is one of the "Five Officials of Qi" under the prime minister. These five major officials of Qi are equivalent to the Six Ministers of the Later generations, so Housheng is also an absolute important official of Qi.

In fact, due to the blood relationship between Housheng and the Queen and King Jian of Qi, the influence of this uncle even surpassed that of the prime minister of Qi at some point.

It is precisely because of this that Hou Sheng was naturally regarded by the Qin envoy Yizhuang as the most worthy object of winning over.

Moreover, Hou Sheng is not the kind of honest official. The biggest weakness of this uncle of Qi is that he is greedy for money and lust, and pursues enjoyment.

How far was Hou Sheng's greed for money? Ma Qian, the Taishi Company, said in "Records of the Grand Historian: Tian Jing Zhongwan's Family": "The queen died, Hou Sheng won the prime minister, and received gold from Qin, and many guests were sent to Qin, and Qin also gave gold. All the guests were rebels, and they advised the king to go to Qin, and did not prepare for the attack and war, and did not help the five countries to attack Qin, so Qin could destroy the five countries."

After that, for the sake of money, he was able to sell Qi and the other five countries, and he ended up being killed. The so-called death of humans for money is just like this.

So after Yizhuang came to Linzi as a Qin envoy, he had a small banquet for three days, one small banquet for five days, and one big banquet for every banquet. There must be beautiful women accompanying each other at each banquet, and there will be a lot of gold for giving away after eating and drinking. The money spent on Housheng over the years can be said to be a very amazing number.

Housheng is not the kind of person who collects money and does not do anything. After getting the benefits, he often speaks good things for Qin in front of the king and King Jian of Qi. He says three sentences today and a few sentences tomorrow, constantly improving Qin's favorability in Qi. He also often introduces Yizhuang to other ministers of Qi to build a bridge for their relationship.

As time goes by, it is not surprising that the pro-Qin faction in Qi's political arena has such momentum.

At this moment, Yizhuang saw that the envoy of Zhao, Su Dai, made the ministers of Qi divided into two factions and couldn't help but feel a little restless, so he turned his eyes to Housheng above, meaning, "Brother, we have been in love for so many years, you have eaten a lot of dinner parties, you have slept a lot of women, and you have collected money. Why should you come out to say something to me at this time, right?"

Hou Sheng naturally understood this look of Yi Zhuang. He nodded slightly at Yi Zhuang, then turned to look at King Jian of Qi and Queen of the King of Kings in the upper head.

The queen still looked very calm, her expression did not change at all, as if the big quarrel in front of her was not happening at all. However, the young King Jian of Qi showed an impatient expression on his face.

Housheng knew his sister, the queen, and because he had returned the power to the King of Qi, he usually served as a stabilizing needle for the emperor of the country. He rarely expressed any opinions when he attended the event.

So in this case, the most critical figure is actually the young Qi king, King Jian. As long as the Qi king makes a decision, even if the queen does not support her, she will not oppose her son in public.

After all, in the eyes of the Queen, Qi State belongs to his son after all, and it is his son's business to do whatever he wants. He is not too lazy to pay attention to these things, even an old woman.

From this point of view, the queen's attitude towards her son is actually the same as that of her dead husband, King Qi Xiang, that is, even if she does not agree, she will never interfere with their right to make decisions on national affairs.

Therefore, most people who don’t understand the inside story think that the key to the king and queen is to support Zhao or Qin today.

But only Hou Sheng knew in his heart that the real key figure of this resolution was actually King Jian of Qi who had not been in power for a long time!

Hou Sheng knew clearly about the nephew of King Jian of Qi.

Everyone in the world knows that Housheng is a greedy ghost, how could King Jian of Qi not know? Generally speaking, a greedy ghost like Housheng is a country's worm, and he has to be beheaded and confiscated his house. Why can Housheng live well just by his status as his uncle? In fact, this is not the case.

The reason why Housheng was able to live well and gained the trust of King Jian of Qi, and even served as the Prime Minister of Qi for a long time in the future was only one reason, that is, although Housheng's word greed was engraved into his bones, he was more generous than anyone else when he took action against his nephew, King Jian of Qi.

Although the king of Qi, King Jian of Qi, was young, but his greed for enjoyment was very serious. Hou Sheng also saw that King Jian of Qi and dug out his mind to please King Jian of Qi. What kind of beautiful singers from all over the world, the delicacies of mountains and seas, and the rare beasts, all spent a lot of money to search and then tribute to King Jian of Qi to enjoy.

As the saying goes, friendship between men is to carry guns together and have sex together... Cough cough, so from this point of view, the friendship between Hou Sheng and King Jian of Qi, the uncle and nephew who play beautiful women together every day is still very reliable.

In fact, as early as yesterday, Hou Sheng had already quietly greeted his nephew of the king and was recognized by the other party.

Now things have developed to this point, which Hou Sheng and King Jian of Qi have expected in advance.

At this time, Hou Sheng only needs to jump out and make clear his point and play a final role. This will not only consolidate Hou Sheng's position in the political arena of Qi, but also highlight the authority of King Jian of Qi. It can be said that he will kill two birds with one stone.

So even if Yi Zhuang doesn't have such a look, Hou Sheng will still take action at this time.

Hou Sheng nodded slightly at Yizhuang and smiled, then looked at Su Dai, the envoy of Zhao who also turned his eyes to him, then stood up and stepped out of the line, bowed to King Jian of Qi, who was headed in the hall: "I have a report!"

As soon as Hou Sheng finished speaking, the entire hall soon became quiet. People turned their attention to Hou Sheng, wanting to see what the Grand Manager was going to say.

After all, everyone is tired after quarreling for so long. They are not the young men and girls who stand on both sides of the debate stand wearing glasses and frothing mouths. "May I ask the other party's No. 3 judge, No. 2 debater, and big shot...", and those who quarreled for a few hours without stopping, are all old ministers, so it's better to take a break.

So Hou Sheng spoke without rushing: "Qin is the strong, Zhao is the weak. Squeezing the strong and supporting the weak is a high righteousness, and helping the strong and bullying the weak is an unrighteous state. Qi, a benevolent country, should do a high righteous thing. Therefore, in the opinion of the minister, borrowing grain should be done."

Hou Sheng's words hit the lake like a bomb, causing a burst of exclamation in the Golden Palace.
