There were also factional disputes in the Qin court.
As for Xiao Yuan, he was able to make proper use of these to balance the situation in the court and restrain each other, so that the ministers could speak enthusiastically in the court and express their own opinions instead of following the trend.
This is a wise monarch who has a good way of governing and holds absolute military and political power.
Regarding this petition, he did not make an immediate decision, but put it on hold for the time being.
Especially the appointment of Xuzhou County Sheriff.
This city is the largest city outside the capital of Jin. It has a century-old foundation, a developed economy, an endless stream of business travelers, and a large population. After the Qin army occupied it, they posted a notice to calm the people, and it returned to its former glory within a few days. bustling.
One can imagine how many people want to fight for this official position.
However, Xiao Yuan actually has a certain candidate in mind, but he still needs to consider it.
After sorting out all the classics in the study room of the Jin Palace, Xiao Yuan packed them up and prepared to take them back to the country.
When King Jin left, although he took away most of the wealth, there were still a lot of jade, emeralds, and valuable calligraphy and paintings in various palaces within the palace. He also had these transported back.
Later, Xiao Yuan summoned Su Yi and ordered him to lead an army of 100,000 to guard the land of Jin. At the same time, he also explained:
"Unless there is no serious matter, the army is not allowed to enter the city, it is not allowed to disturb the people, it is not allowed to break into people's houses, and it is not allowed to burn, kill and loot. Anyone who disobeys the order will be executed without mercy!"
"Wei Chen understands! Please rest assured, Your Majesty!" Su Yi returned quickly.
Next, Xiao Yuan began to lead the rest of the Qin army soldiers back to the capital of Qin.
On the other side, Xuan Guo.
In the study room of the palace, King Xuan tied his hair with a jade hairpin and held a brush in his hand. He was writing something with his head down. At the same time, he asked without raising his head: "Have you received King Jin?"
Below, stood a young man, the Qing Yi Guard Commander of the Xuan Kingdom, named Yang Zhao. He had an ordinary name and an ordinary appearance, but if anyone looked at him as an ordinary person, they would be totally wrong.
The Qingyi Guard is an organization that serves as the internal bodyguard of King Xuan. It specializes in spying, assassination and other matters, and removes all obstacles for the king.
This department is very similar to the Qin State's Duwei Camp. As the leader of the Tsing Yi Guards, Yang Zhao's skills need no introduction.
Although he was always cold and cold in front of other people, he was extremely respectful to King Xuan.
"Back to your Majesty, General Yan has received King Jin."
He bowed slightly and lowered his head, as if he did not dare to look at King Xuan head-on.
"Then it's up to you to go there in person and bring King Jin to the capital."
"What does the king mean..." Yang Zhao asked tentatively.
King Xuan kept writing something with his hands, without even looking at him, and said in a calm voice:
"For Yu Gu, the King of Jin is not important. It doesn't matter whether he dies or not. What matters is the treasury of the Jin State and the famous general Ren Ying."
"I understand, let's do it now." Yang Zhao bowed and retreated.
The king of Jin fled with his family and ministers this time, which was equivalent to moving the capital. It can be imagined that there were countless cars of gold, silver and jade, and based on his previous strong national power, this money could make anyone rich enough to rival the country.
In this regard, Xiao Yuan did not catch up, of course he was a little unwilling, but his army could not enter Xuanguo at all.
King Xuan said he was helping King Jin, but in fact, he just took a fancy to this moving golden mountain, and his intentions were even more sinister than Xiao Yuan's.
A few days later, Southeast County.
Xuan's army responded to the King of Jin with more than 100,000 troops, and Qin's pursuit of troops stopped. Naturally, the King of Jin was determined and believed that he was completely safe.
At this time, in the county hall, he was still wearing royal clothes and was drinking with several ministers who were in exile together.
On the main seat directly above, King Jin said: "King Xuan still talks about benevolence and righteousness. Our country was so friendly with Huan Guo before, but at a critical moment, King Huan did something villainous and added insult to injury. How despicable."
"Yes, Your Majesty, our country should have done more with Xuan Guo earlier." A minister quickly agreed.
Hearing this, King Jin couldn't help but nodded: "You are right. The Kingdom of Jin has recorded King Xuan's kindness. With his support, I can also use the gold and silver in my hands in the southeast area. , in the name of the Jin royal family, we will recruit brave soldiers again and make a comeback."
"Your Majesty has a wise plan. For the sake of the future of the Jin Kingdom, we all toast to your Majesty -" A minister stood up and held the cup.
"We all respect your Majesty——"
"Okay, okay, the road is boundless. This cup is definitely worth drinking. Drink..."
Just when King Jin was still dreaming about the road to restoration, Yang Zhao came quickly outside the hall.
He was dressed in green brocade clothes, with an official emblem on the collar, a sword hanging on his waist, and official boots on his feet, striding straight into the hall.
Seeing him, everyone couldn't help but stop drinking and looked at each other. King Jin also put down his wine glass and asked: "Your Excellency..."
"The Qingyi Guards Commander, Yang Zhao." Yang Zhao spoke concisely and to the point, and stood still in the hall.
"Ah, it turns out to be Mr. Yang."
Of course King Jin had heard of the name of the Tsing Yi Guard. As he spoke, he quickly stretched out his hand and said, "Quickly, Mr. Yang, please take a seat."
"Your Highness, you're welcome. You don't have to be like this. I'm not here to drink." Yang Zhao didn't move, and even with his official position, he didn't salute the king.
In this situation, no matter how stupid King Jin was, he still felt something was wrong, but before he could speak, Meng Li at his hand pointed at Yang Zhao and said angrily:
"Bold Yang Zhao! How dare you be so rude when you see my king!"
"General, there is no need to be angry." Yang Zhao still had that dead face. After saying a word, he looked at King Jin again: "Your Highness, I have specially ordered you to come here to take you to Xuandu. Your Highness, please prepare immediately."
"What?" King Jin frowned when he heard this, but now that he was living under someone else's roof, he seemed to have no confidence, so he did not dare to get angry. Instead, he said in a deep voice: "I am doing well in Southeast County. Didn't King Xuan also say that we should stay in Southeast County?" Are you here to help me restore my kingdom?"
"Today is different from the past. Your Highness, Southeast County is located in a critical position. It may be invaded by other countries' armies one day. My king invites Your Highness to enter the capital for the sake of His Highness's safety. Please do not hesitate." Yang Zhao said.
"What if I don't want to leave?" King Jin's voice was a bit colder, and he stared at Yang Zhao deeply.
But the latter seemed not to have seen it, and still said lukewarmly: "That's it for now. Your Highness will make your own decision."
"Bold!" After hearing this, Mengli couldn't bear it any longer and started to fight.
But as soon as he stood up, King Jin raised his hand to stop him, and his thoughts changed.
The current King of Jin still has some imperial guards around him, as well as general Meng Li, but what's the use of these? There are more than 100,000 Xuan troops in the southeast county, and the county is heavily fortified inside and outside. As long as they say a word With the order, everyone in the hall must die!
