When Hu Xiu heard this, his heart moved. He leaned forward slightly and said, "My mentor said that the king will transfer important officials."
"I'm afraid there are more than one or two." Dou Jianzhang said.
"But students have heard that Prime Minister Liu proposed to use the army to rule the army on the issue of Western Xinjiang. Considering the weight of the country, I estimate that the king will give it serious consideration." Hu Xiudao.
Dou Jianzhang smiled and said: "Ruling the army with armies is only a one-sided issue. There may be a group of officials among the ethnic minorities, but they will definitely not be those who manage Western Xinjiang. Your Majesty attaches great importance to this place, and Western Xinjiang's The first chief executive can only be an important minister of our country."
"Although my teacher said so, the Western Xinjiang is remote and mostly nomadic groups. Navigating this place is not as simple as saying." Hu Xiudao.
Dou Jianzhang said: "This is where we get to the point. It is precisely because the management strategy is not easy that it is the key point. Just imagine, if we manage Western Xinjiang, what kind of political achievement will it be? What kind of career will we have after we come back?"
"In my opinion, once there is a correction after a few years, it will be at least a second-grade product."
As he spoke, he picked up the teacup and took a sip.
"Hiss..." When Hu Xiu heard this, he couldn't help but take a breath. He was only in the fourth rank now. If he could jump several levels in a few years and become a second-rank minister, what a promotion it would be. I know that some people spend their entire lives never reaching that position.
He couldn't help but feel excited in his heart: "Teacher, I wonder if the student will have a chance to fight for this candidate to manage Western Xinjiang."
"Well..." Dou Jianzhang pondered for a moment and said: "I will recommend it to the king on this matter, but these alone are not enough, you have to do one more thing."
"Teacher, please give me some instructions." Hu Xiu said hurriedly.
"Find a way to go to the palace and ask to see the Queen." Dou Jianzhang said directly: "You are also the original minister of the throne. The Queen is kind and soft-hearted. If she is willing to give you a good word, then you will be sure."
After hearing this, Hu Xiu deeply agreed. He couldn't help but nodded, cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, teacher, for your advice. The student has taken note of it."
"Hey? I also hope that you will be promoted step by step. Come, please have tea." Dou Jianzhang smiled and stretched out his hand.
Knowing the importance of Western Xinjiang to his official career, Hu Xiu began to think of ways to meet Lu Yunyan that afternoon.
Qin Palace, back garden.
Lu Yunyan was taking a walk.
Not long after, Fengqing came back and saluted respectfully: "Your Majesty, Hu Xiu, Mr. Hu wants to see you."
"Hu Xiu? Isn't he the current Lord of Qinzhou?" Lu Yunyan was the former Xuanjun. Of course he knew this official, but after thinking about it, he still said: "Let him come over."
"Yes." Fengqing bowed and left.
Not long after, Hu Xiu was brought over. When he saw Lu Yunyan, he quickly adjusted his official uniform, took small steps forward, knelt on the ground, put his hands on the side of his head, raised his buttocks, and spoke in a serious voice. He said: "My lord, Hu Xiu, please see the queen."
"Master Hu, there's no need to be polite. Get up and talk." Lu Yunyan raised his hand slightly.
"Thank you, empress." Hu Xiu responded. After getting up, he also bowed his head. The queen was so beautiful that he didn't dare to look at her. Instead, he followed Lu Yunyan with a respectful look.
Lu Yunyan continued to walk and asked casually: "Master Hu, why do you want to see me this time?"
"Back to your Majesty, it's like this." Hu Xiu organized his speech: "The good news is spreading frequently today. Your Majesty has conquered Xirong. He led our Qin army officers and soldiers to expand the territory and establish the territory of the Qin Dynasty. The future governance of Western Xinjiang will have a great influence on the Qin Dynasty. For the country, it is a top priority.”
Hearing this, Lu Yunyan couldn't help but pause slightly and glanced sideways at him.
Hu Xiu quickly lowered his body and said, "Although I am not talented, I only want to share the worries of the king and the empress."
Lu Yunyan understood what he meant, "Master Hu, do you want to help the king manage Western Xinjiang?"
"Your Majesty, you have learned from me." Hu Xiu said, knelt down again, and said in a trembling voice: "My lord, if you can be loyal to the country, you will die without regrets. And if you have this opportunity, you must be self-restrained and diligent, and live up to your Majesty's expectations. Please, I want to bring more glory to your face."
His words were very nice. Lu Yunyan did not respond immediately, but pondered for a moment, and then said gently: "I understand what Mr. Hu means. I already know about this matter, so please step aside first. "
ah? What does your Majesty mean? Did you agree or not? Hu Xiu was a little confused, but since Lu Yunyan said that, how could he dare to disobey him? He quickly responded: "Yes, I will resign."
As he spoke, he secretly glanced at Lu Yunyan's face, then bowed and left.
After she left, Fengqing couldn't help but said: "Your Majesty, Master Hu Xiu is also a proclaimer. If you have the opportunity, why not make some suggestions. I believe that your Majesty will seriously consider what your Majesty says if you say something in front of the King."
"What are you talking about as the promulgator of Qin? They are creating these factions. All the ministers in the dynasty are all Qin ministers." Lu Yunyan frowned slightly and said: "Hu Xiu is Dou Jianzhang's student. He must have listened to his words and came here to see me. palace."
"What does the empress mean..." Fengqing bravely asked again.
Lu Yunyan shook his head slightly: "It's not that I don't want to help him, it's that he is simply not suitable for managing the Western Territory. Here, it is not only a question of whether an official is honest, but also requires great talent."
"This matter is not something you should bring up to Brother Wang, and there is no room for mistakes in Xijiang."
Her meaning was very clear. As the original Xuanjun, she knew the original Xuanchen better, and when it came to major issues of right and wrong, this Queen Qin would not have any selfish motives.
More than half a month later.
Xiao Yuan's squadron returned to the court and arrived in Qinzhou.
There was a neat sound of armor rubbing together, black armor and red tassels, numerous halberds, and black flags fluttering in the wind.
The tall king's carriage pulled by six horses all demonstrates the supreme majesty of this king.
Amidst the slight bumps, Xiao Yuan was inside the car, looking at the bamboo slips in his hand.
Not long after, they arrived outside Qinzhou City.
The army stopped, and all the civil and military officials were waiting here eagerly. They had been waiting for a long time. When they saw the king's carriage, they all knelt on the ground and shouted in unison: "Welcome the king back to the capital——"
"Everyone is safe." Xiao Yuan's voice came out.
"Thank you, Your Majesty——" People shouted together again, understanding what Xiao Yuan meant, and unanimously moved to both sides, and began to follow Wang Jia into Qinzhou City.
At this time, Qinzhou was full of people, because the news of the pacification of Xirong had already spread throughout the Qin State. For more than a hundred years, the Qin people had been invaded repeatedly, and their people were massacred. They had a blood feud with Bai Rong. Now that the foreign enemies have been completely wiped out, one can imagine the mood of the people.
The prestige of Xiao Yuan, Lord Qin, in his own country has long been unmatched by anyone, and at this moment, it has reached its peak.
People gathered on both sides of the street, and there were cheers everywhere.
Seeing Wang Jia, they knelt down row by row, and almost everyone shouted in unison:
"My king will live for ten thousand years! Qin will live for ten thousand years!"
"Your Majesty, ten thousand years! Qin's ten thousand years—"
The shouts shook the sky and lasted for a long time.
The scene was spectacular.
