After the exam was over, Xiao Yuan finished handling some government affairs and was ready to go to Xuan Kingdom to talk to King Xuan about the war in the Central Plains.
On this day, in the study room of the palace.
Hearing that he was going to Xuanguo in person, Liu Yuzhi couldn't help but worry slightly: "Your Majesty, you have returned with your army. The domestic political situation has just stabilized, and there are still many things to deal with. Moreover, King Xuan's intentions are unclear. In the opinion of the humble minister, it is not appropriate at this time." Let’s get going.”
"King Xuan is not a fool." Xiao Yuan said: "The Prime Minister does not need to worry about this. As for the country, you can just work more."
"But this..." Liu Yuzhi looked depressed.
Xiao Yuan added: "In this war, Xuan's army forcibly crossed the Xiangshui River, and the role it played in the southern battlefield needs no more explanation. On the surface, Xuan's army wanted to capture Xiangnan County, but in fact, this situation forced me to Still."
Unexpectedly, Liu Yuzhi said: "This is the cleverness of King Xuan. While making Xuan Guo profitable, he also made the king feel that he owed her a favor."
Hearing this, Xiao Yuan was happy and said: "The Prime Minister's words make sense, but even so, you still have to thank me, right?"
"Okay..." Liu Yuzhi said helplessly.
After finishing the matter, Xiao Yuan began to sort out the bamboo slips on the desk, and at the same time said: "After the destruction of Liang, I have included many of the official classics of the Liang Palace. These things should be moved to the Prime Minister's Mansion first. You Let people screen them and select them for storage."
"Some insignificant things should be thrown away if possible. However, the prime minister needs to study more about the official documents of Liang Kingdom's past policies. This will have a certain effect on the future governance of Liang Kingdom."
"Yes, Weichen understands."
"Okay." After Xiao Yuan finished sorting the bamboo slips, he also looked at Liu Yuzhi and said with a smile: "Prime Minister, you must be very tired. I see that you have lost weight. It is getting late now. Do you want to stay and accompany me?" Want to have a couple of drinks?"
"No, no, no, how dare you, a humble minister." Liu Yuzhi hurriedly waved his hand and went to the king's family banquet. He was restless.
"You sour literati are just too polite." Xiao Yuan muttered.
He was preparing to go to Xuanguo and thank King Xuan in person. Before leaving, he naturally wrote a letter to inform King Xuan.
After the matter was finalized, Xiao Yuan didn't waste much time, so he took Xu Hu and Liang Yuan, as well as some elite masters from the Duwei camp as followers, and started to set off from Qinzhou.
He was traveling in casual clothes and did not show off in any way. On the surface, he looked like a young man from a rich family going out for fun.
There was no words all the way, and a few days later, Xiao Yuan's second letter arrived at Xuanwang Palace.
At this time, in the study room of the palace.
Prime Minister Yao Tingyu is standing below with a bow.
King Xuan was still dressed like a queen, but despite her extraordinary aura, her stunning beauty could not be concealed.
After she finished grading the memorial, she put down her brush and said, "Is the King of Qin coming to our border soon?"
"Yes." Yao Tingyu returned.
King Xuan said casually: "Then let Yang Zhao take over on behalf of me. In addition, some troops from the northern camp will be mobilized to protect along the way."
"This..." Yao Tingyu hesitated.
King Xuan raised his eyebrows slightly: "What? What concerns does the Prime Minister have?"
"No, no, no." Yao Tingyu said: "Wei Chen just thinks that this matter concerns the two countries of Qin and Xuan, so it is best to be more solemn."
"You mean...that I have neglected the King of Qin?" King Xuan asked back at first, and then said, as if he was a little angry: "That is also the King of Qin himself."
But having said that, after thinking about it for a while, she still said: "In this case, let Xie Hongling lead the army to pick it up. Is that okay, General?"
"Yes, the king's concerns are very true. I will go and make arrangements right now." Yao Tingyu bowed and retreated.
After the king's order was issued, Xie Hongling immediately mobilized the troops from the northern camp and rushed to the place where Xiao Yuan must pass to greet him on behalf of King Xuan.
A few days later, Yuzhou was announced.
After arriving here, Xiao Yuan, who received the news, did not let Xie Hongling wait in vain and quickly met with him.
After the two parties met, Xie Hongling first clasped his fists and saluted, and then said: "According to the order of my king, I am here to greet His Highness. If I am rude, please forgive me."
"No, Sister Xuan is so polite." Xiao Yuan waved his hand with a smile.
He was dressed in brocade clothes, his hair tied with jade hairpins, and he was dressed purely as a young man. Xu Hu, Liang Yuan and others were also dressed in casual clothes.
Xie Hongling was dressed in armor. Her beauty was not fragile, but with a heroic spirit. Her red lips still looked heroic.
After talking to Xiao Yuan, she glanced at Xu Hu subconsciously, and then said: "Your Highness has been traveling all the way, so you should take a rest at Yuzhou County Mansion first. I will notify the local county governor to make arrangements."
"Forget it." Xiao Yuan said with a smile: "Before we met with the general, our group had already eaten scallion pancakes, and now our stomachs are full."
"Onions... onion pancakes?" Xie Hongling was a little surprised. In her opinion, King Qin was the king of a country.
"Yes, the local scallion pancakes are really delicious." Xiao Yuan still recalled the aftertaste.
"Okay... Okay, then with His Highness's wishes..." Xie Hongling said.
"Let's leave as soon as possible." Xiao Yuan said directly, he didn't want to delay in Yuzhou.
"Understood." Xie Hongling didn't say much. After nodding, he immediately began to command the troops.
Under the military order, a large number of Xuanguo Central Army began to run forward.
On both sides of the street, people had already gathered to watch and point.
People don't know who Xiao Yuan is. It can be seen that our country's regular army has been mobilized on a large scale, and they can also understand that the identity of the person coming is not simple.
At this time, Yuzhou County Sheriff also hurried over. First he bowed his hands and saluted Xiao Yuan, then he came up to Xie Hongling and said with a shy smile: "General Xie, over at the county government, the lower officials are already making arrangements. ."
"No need, we are not stopping in Yuzhou." Xie Hongling said concisely and to the point.
"Ah? Well, if the officials don't treat me well, I'm afraid the king will blame me." The county guard said hurriedly.
"No, this is King Qin's own intention and has nothing to do with you." Xie Hongling said.
"Then...okay..."
The county guards were sent away, and a large number of troops began to leave Yuzhou City.
Xiao Yuan and others were riding war horses, and Xie Hongling was not far away from them, right next to Xu Hu.
The latter couldn't help but ask: "Miss Hongling, your arrow wound is not an old disease, right?"
"Do I need you to take care of me?" Xie Hongling glanced at him.
"You!" Xu Hu choked.
As a result, Xie Hongling sneered again: "Shameless person!"
She always said that she was shameless, and Xu Hu was furious when he heard this: "You crazy woman who doesn't know good people's hearts!"
"Who are you calling a crazy woman?"
"I know it in my heart!"
"you!"
The two of them once again disagreed and were about to take action.
Xiao Yuan was secretly amused by this situation and coughed slightly.
At his signal, the two of them glared at each other, and then snorted coldly.
