Due to distance, when King Han was still running on the road, King Jian of Qi had already returned to Linzi.

As soon as he returned to Linzi, Hou Sheng immediately became busy.

Be busy with state affairs? Of course not.

In terms of the political system of Qi, Xiangbang was the supreme head of the government and was directly responsible for King Jian of Qi.

The "five officials" including the Grand Sima, Grand Siko, Grand Sitian, and other descendants of the prime ministers of the later generations were equivalent to the six ministers of the later generations. They handled their own affairs on weekdays, and only reported the matters that could not be resolved or that were required to be decided by Hou Sheng.

Although Hou Sheng is very passionate about official positions, he is also very self-aware and knows that he is actually not a famous official like Guan Zhong.

For most of the time, Housheng basically lets the five subordinate officials perform their duties and handle their own affairs. If there is any important thing to report, Housheng will go directly to King Jian of Qi to make an idea.

In this way, Hou Sheng is called Xiangbang, but in fact it is just a memo tube. I don’t know much more about the Xiangbangs in other countries than Xiangbangs.

But this does not mean that Housheng is very idle. On the contrary, Housheng is very busy every day, even more busy than the Xiangbians in several other countries.

This is strange, who is both idle and busy?

In fact, it is very simple to put it bluntly. If we look at the position of Xiangbang, Housheng will naturally be very idle. He can even ignore political affairs for ten days and half a month, and let the five officials of Qi solve the problem by themselves.

But if we were the confidant minister of King Jian of Qi, Housheng would be very busy.

He was busy with food, drinking, drinking and having fun every day, and he also had to dig out his mind to please his king, and he worked on some new tricks every now and then to make his king happy.

But no matter what, Hou Sheng is obviously still happy at this moment and is full of enthusiasm for this matter.

On this day, Hou Sheng sat in the mansion and admired the dance postures of the row of dancers in front of him very focusedly.

Amid the melodious music, the beautiful dancer jumped in unrestrained dance postures, and seemed to have a hint of whiteness in his sight. His white feet were leaping and rotating naked on the ground, which was extremely eye-catching.

Even though he had seen many beauties for a long time, Hou Sheng still felt dry mouth and tongue-tied, and a ball of heat slowly rose in his belly.

After the song was finished, the dancers bowed and left the stage. A butler from Housheng's mansion appeared in front of Housheng with apologized smile: "I wonder if this Hu Wu can get the eyes of the Lord?"

Hou Sheng nodded with satisfaction and said to the retainer in front of him: "Although the dances of these Hu people are difficult to reach the elegant hall, they are unique. I think they should be able to make the king happy. Not bad, very good."

To be honest, just like the dance moves of the dancers who kicked their thighs and exposed their breasts just now, they were definitely the legendary erotic dance, which completely violated the ritual system of the Zhou Dynasty.

If it is in some countries with famous rituals, such as the former Lu State, someone had already submitted a memorial to pursue the crime of Housheng.

However, in Qi Wang Jian and Housheng, the king and ministers, were all invincible, so naturally no one dared to do so.

Besides, this dance was not for others to watch. It was originally specially designed to meet the pleasure requirements of King Jian of Qi. It was not for the formal dance for others to perform at the sacrifice to heaven or New Year's Day dinner, so Hou Sheng had nothing to worry about.

Hou Sheng waved his hand and said to the servant in front of him: "You have made great contributions to your recommendation this time, so go and receive the reward."

Looking at the retainer who was leaving happily, Hou Sheng also showed a smile on his face.

You should know that the dance moves of the dancers just now made Hou Sheng, who had been through a long time, unable to control it, let alone Wang Jian, who was much younger than Hou Sheng and had a much stronger desire than Hou Sheng.

"If this happens, it will take at least half a month, so you should no longer worry about collecting other toys for the king."

When I thought of this, Hou Sheng couldn't help but relax a lot.

Enjoyment is enjoyment, but enjoying a king like King Jian of Qi is actually not an easy task. Every year, I have to change my tricks, so Housheng doesn’t know how many brain cells have died.

At this moment, Hou Sheng's confidant housekeeper suddenly appeared in front of Hou Sheng and reported to Hou Sheng: "The head of the family is asking for a meeting."

Hou Sheng asked nonsense: "Who is asking for a meeting?"

The housekeeper shook his head and said, "The person who came back has not reported his identity."

Hou Sheng was a little dissatisfied at this moment, and immediately raised his eyebrows and scolded: "What's wrong? Can even an unknown guy come to see me now?"

The confidant housekeeper hurriedly took out a small wooden box in his arms, held it in front of Hou Sheng like a treasure, and smiled and said, "Princess, please see this thing."

Hou Sheng glared at the butler, opened it and found that it turned out to be a small bead in the box.

The bead is full of crystal brilliance and looks extremely breathtaking. It is obviously a rare and good bead.

Hou Sheng's eyes stared at the orb in front of him without a moment. After a long time, he spoke, "Is this only one of the orbs?"

Just from the tone, Hou Sheng seemed to be a little unsatisfied.

The confidant housekeeper immediately smiled and said, "The head of the family has two carriages. I have seen it, and they are all good goods."

Hou Sheng nodded and said, "Since that's the case, then take the person to the study."

A moment later, Hou Sheng saw this mysterious visitor in the study.

This mysterious visitor is a very ordinary and ordinary middle-aged scholar, both in terms of appearance and outfit. He is the kind of person who has no characteristics at all and cannot be recognized by the crowd.

"Meet Houqing." The visitor saluted Housheng very respectfully.

The person who came did not give his name, but Housheng did not blame him, because Housheng had long been used to this inexplicable visitor. For the sake of the gifts of the two carriages, Housheng was very tolerant of such trivial matters.

Anyway, they have to tell which country they represent later, which is enough.

Hou Sheng squinted his eyes and looked at the person who came for a while, then he nodded slowly and said, "If you have something to do, just say it."

The visitor smiled at Hou Sheng and said, "You are a good teacher. Hou You know that the reason why I came to visit Hou You this time was to tell Hou You that a great good thing."

"What a great thing?" Hou Sheng couldn't help laughing when he heard this.

After a long time, Hou Sheng spoke in a mocking tone and said, "You say, what great good things do you have?"

Hou Sheng completely didn't believe that this man could bring any surprises to him.

Because in Housheng's opinion, these guys who give gifts always ask for themselves. Since they have asked for themselves, it would be a great thing for Housheng to help them.

Now this guy even said this the other way around, how can he not make Hou Sheng laugh?

If it weren't for the two carriages, jewelry, gold and silver, just by saying this, I would have issued an order to expel the guest.

You should know that Hou Sheng is the prime minister of Qi, and he is a big man below one person and above ten thousand people. He doesn't have so much time to talk to such strange guys.

The visitor obviously felt the mockery in Housheng's words, but he was not angry, but said to Housheng seriously: "If this matter is accomplished, then Houqing's position as a lord will naturally be inevitable. Houqing thinks, can this be considered a great good thing?"

As soon as the person came to his voice, the smile on Hou Sheng's face immediately condensed.

Because what this guy said was indeed the fatal point of Hou Sheng.

Although Hou Sheng is now a great minister, there is still one goal that has not been achieved, that is, the throne!

Looking at the countries in the world, only Hou Sheng and Duan Ganzi of Wei were the ones who had no titles as prime ministers.

In Housheng's opinion, he was the younger brother of the empress dowager of the dynasty. How could his noble status be comparable to that period of godson?

So Housheng has always been worried about this matter.

For this matter, Housheng has won the battle. He even asked his sister to go to the Queen, and he thought that his sister would win the position of this army for him.

But what Housheng never expected was that his request for the title of throne was ruthlessly rejected by the Queen.

The meaning of the queen is very simple. Although the queen is his own person, he cannot obtain the title of king without any contribution, as it will only attract criticism from all over the world.

In other words, this means that Hou Sheng must make great contributions to Qi State in order to be legitimately granted the title of monarch.

But to be honest, Hou Sheng is neither able to lead troops to fight, and he can only say that he has nothing outstanding in his internal affairs. It is really difficult to make him make any great contribution.

This is the crux of why Hou Sheng has never won the position of throne even though he has been in charge of the prime minister of Qi for several years.

At this moment, when Hou Sheng heard the mysterious man in front of him say that he had hope to help him solve the title of Fengjun, he immediately straightened his body, and a flash of light burst out in his eyes. Shun Shun stared at the mysterious man in front of him and said, "Are you serious about this?"

The visitor nodded with certainty and said, "Of course it's serious."

Hou Sheng couldn't calm down at this moment, and immediately urged: "Then why don't you tell me about this matter quickly!"

The visitor smiled slightly and whispered to Hou Sheng: "Houqing must have known that the war between Zhao and Wei is ready to break out."

Hou Sheng nodded. This incident is no longer a secret for the current senior officials of the Seven Heroes of the Warring States Period.

The visitor smiled at Hou Sheng again and said, "Houqing only needs to convince the King of Qi to jointly attack Zhao with Wei in this war. Once Zhao fails, Qi will naturally be able to take back Gaotang and other places. Houqing thinks about it, with such great achievements, are you still afraid that the King of Qi will not grant this title of title?"

As soon as the person came to the scene finished speaking, Hou Sheng was stunned.

The study suddenly fell into silence.

After a while, Hou Sheng slowly spoke, "People are coming to see you off."

The door of the study room was immediately opened, and the figure of the confidant butler appeared at the door: "Please, please, guest."

The visitor did not stand up immediately, but stared at Hou Sheng with an unpredictable smile: "What, is Hou Qing really going to say goodbye to the position of Fengjun that is within reach?"

Hou Sheng sneered and said to the visitor: "You are not a great thing at all, but you want to push me into the fire pit! A few years ago, Qin, Qi and Wei were not even a match for Zhao. Today, Zhao is stronger than before. Do you think that having Qi and Wei countries is enough? I tell you that even if Qin is added, it will not work!"

"Is that true?" The visitor smiled slightly, suddenly took out a letter from his hand and placed it in front of Hou Sheng.

"What a dear, why not read this letter before making a decision."

Hou Sheng glanced at the visitor and looked at the other party with confidence, so he picked up the letter half-believingly and opened it and read it.

Suddenly, Hou Sheng's body shook and raised his head with an incredible expression: "This..."

The visitor looked at Hou Sheng with a smile: "How is Hou Qing still thinks this is completely impossible to do?"

Hou Sheng took a deep breath, waved to the confidant butler standing at the door, and signaled to close the door.

There seemed to be a faint laugh from the room.
