Yu Anmin had close contacts with the senior leaders of the ghost clan in Anyang. All of this was done secretly, and he did not dare to let outsiders know.
Even if King Huan is greedy and selfish, he will definitely be furious if he finds out about this.
Because this is a national issue.
On the surface, Yu Anmin continued to treat Prince Huan respectfully, and quickly wrote a confession and submitted it to the imperial court.
More than ten days later, the letter first arrived at Xiao Yuan, and then was passed to Shang Rui.
Although Yu Anmin did not come, he spoke very humbly in his letter, admitted his mistakes, took off his royal crown, and asked the imperial court for forgiveness.
After Shang Rui read it, his eyes widened immediately. He did not expect this.
But obviously, what people fear is not the emperor, but the King of Qin.
At the same time, King Ling's personal letter also reached Xiao Yuan.
At this time, the latter was discussing matters with Shangguan Ruo in the palace. After receiving the letter, he couldn't help but smile bitterly.
If Shangguan learned about it, he said: "Lingguo is too far away and is located in the south. Your Majesty will have to travel thousands of miles to get here. It would be best if you can turn it away."
"How to push?"
"You can use the excuse that you are busy with state affairs and have no time to spare, or you can send an envoy to congratulate you on behalf of our country." Shangguan Ruodao said.
Xiao Yuan shook his head slightly: "The words in King Ling's letter are sincere. His original intention is not to celebrate his birthday, but to take advantage of this opportunity to establish diplomatic relations with our country."
"Now that the Emperor is in the Qin Palace, he is coveted by many heroes. The Qin State also needs allies. This matter is not trivial. I can't do it unless I go."
After hearing what he said, Shangguan Ruo thought about it for a moment and nodded: "But the king has to travel, in terms of safety."
"Liang Yuan will arrange this, you don't have to worry." Xiao Yuan smiled.
Xiao Yuan had dinner with Zhong Duoduo that day.
Xiao Yuan couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he saw her serving the soup herself, busying herself around, and adding vegetables to her bowl after the dishes were served.
The dishes in his bowl were piled high.
But Zhong Duoduo still had a crooked look on her face and a smile, not to mention how virtuous she was: "Husband, these are your favorite foods."
Xiao Yuan became more and more confused, and at the same time he also felt a sense of vigilance: "Duo Duo."
"Ah?" Zhong Duoduo said cutely.
"You're a little strange today." Xiao Yuan said tentatively and gave her a strange look.
"What! My husband is tired all day long, so I can't care about you!" Zhong Duoduo was unhappy.
"But you..." Xiao Yuan looked at the dishes piled up in his bowl and didn't know how to take down his chopsticks.
After a long pause, he had no choice but to put down his chopsticks and said helplessly: "Okay, if you have anything to do, tell me."
Hearing this, Zhong Duoduo's beautiful eyes immediately moved, "Husband, you are going to Lingguo, right?"
"What's the meaning?"
"I heard that Lingguo has beautiful mountains and clear waters and many scenic spots."
She said with an expectant look on her face.
Xiao Yuan understood what she meant, "No, I'm not here for fun, but to do business, and I can't take you with me."
"Hmph! It's happening again!"
As soon as Zhong Duoduo left, she felt resentful.
Seeing her appearance, Xiao Yuan laughed dryly and could only comfort her.
He was indeed too busy and rarely spent time with her and Gu Xue to relax. He felt somewhat guilty in his heart.
It was also decided that when Lingguo came back this time, after finishing handling the matters at hand, he would take the two girls out for a nice trip.
A few days later, Xiao Yuan set off from Qinzhou, accompanied only by Xu Hu and Liang Yuan, plus some elite masters from the Duwei camp.
The group of people were all dressed in casual clothes. On the surface, they looked like a handsome young man with a group of servants.
Although the number of people is small, it is safer than bringing a large number of guards.
At present, there was still plenty of time before the banquet, so Xiao Yuan was not in a hurry, but stopped and walked along the way, and as a citizen, he looked at the counties he passed, especially the annexed Jin and Yan. land.
Whether a place is well governed or not can be detected from the chats of local people.
Fortunately, after Xiao Yuan rectified the officialdom, the Qin government's policies were more beneficial to the people than the harsh policies of other countries, so various places were relatively stable and nothing happened.
What the people want is to have farmland and a place to live. The society will no longer be unstable and thieves are everywhere, and they can live and work in peace and contentment.
As long as we have these as the basis, unrest will not easily occur.
When he was about to leave the border of Qin State, Xiao Yuan deliberately spared a little road and went to the imperial capital.
Now here, in case something happens to the Yandi that we just conquered, Zhao Muzai is leading his troops to guard it.
When Xiao Yuan arrived here, he first went for a walk around the city.
The imperial capital is still the same as before. It has not changed much because of the previous war. It is still bustling with traffic, people coming and going, and rich people in luxurious clothes can be seen everywhere.
This place is already under Qin law, and Qin officials have already taken office in many government offices.
After strolling around, Xiao Yuan went to the garrison camp again without notifying the local officials.
However, it was obviously unrealistic for him to meet the garrison commander as an ordinary person.
Fortunately, Xu Hu has a military card.
The Qin army's camp was very heavily guarded, and the sound of drills inside could be heard from a long distance away.
As for the general card, its effect is undoubted. After the soldier saw it, he immediately shook his body and showed a look of fear on his face.
The news soon reached Zhao Mu, who was also surprised when he heard it.
"What? Why is General Xu here?"
As he spoke, he hurriedly stood up and went out in person. At the same time, he vaguely guessed something in his heart.
Because everyone knows that the Tiger Marquis is the king's bodyguard.
When they arrived at the gate of the camp, from a distance, they saw Xiao Yuan, who was dressed in brocade clothes and had his hair tied up in jade hairpins. Zhao Mu's guess was correct. He hurriedly stepped forward, knelt down on one knee, cupped his fists and saluted:
"I didn't know that when your Majesty arrived, he would be far away from us. I hope your Majesty will forgive me!"
"General, there is no need to be polite. Please get up." Xiao Yuan helped him up and said with a slight smile: "Let's go in and have a look."
"Yes, please, Your Majesty!" Zhao Mu quickly reached out sideways.
Later, under his guidance, Xiao Yuan casually inspected the military camp.
As the saying goes, what kind of generals are there, what kind of soldiers are there? Zhao Mu is very strict in running the army and will never allow military discipline to be lax.
In the military camp, there is a post every three steps and a sentry every five steps. On the school field, there are even officers and generals who are personally directing the drills.
"prick!"
"hook!"
Uniform shouts and cheers filled the whole place, which looked very powerful.
Xiao Yuan walked and looked around, and asked: "Is there any unrest in the four counties of Yandi?"
"The people are relatively stable and there is no unrest. There are a few bandits who have taken over the roads and robbed money, but now they have been wiped out by the troops sent by the general." Zhao Mu returned.
"Yes." Xiao Yuan nodded and said: "The general has a heavy responsibility to guard Yandi. But if there are signs of rebellion, there is no need to report it. We will suppress it with force immediately."
"In addition, if no major incident occurs, the military cannot enter the city at will to disturb the people."
"General, I understand! Please rest assured, Your Majesty!" Zhao Mu responded seriously.
