The news of Xia's surrender quickly spread back to Liang, and the whole country was in an uproar, praising the general's wisdom and strategizing.
Qin Shu's reputation increased step by step.
At the same time, Emperor Liang was being used as a target. If it hadn't been for his great defeat, the general might have captured the Xia Kingdom long ago.
In addition, the previous two sons rebelled one after another, and the escape of one son caused the reputation of Emperor Liang to continue to plummet, and he was directly called a foolish emperor.
Chu Ling also heard the news and could only sigh silently. Although he had intentions, he could not change the fact that it was Emperor Xia himself who sought death.
Now he has only one goal, to practice well and then defeat Qin Shu!
One month later.
Under Xiao Zhiyu's governance, the area there only had minor twists and turns in the early stage, and no major troubles occurred. Now the situation is very stable, and the people live and work in peace and contentment, accepting and becoming Liang people.
Qin Shu was very satisfied with this situation. He really found the right person this time.
After the situation stabilized here, it was soon decided to return to the court.
This time Emperor Liang went on an expedition in person, so he would naturally lead the expedition after winning the battle, but it was also a humiliating patrol.
A huge crowd of people started from outside the city and passed through the crowd, but the cheers were all for Qin Shu, the King of Jin, Duke Wei and others, none of them were for him, and there would be sudden curses for the faint king.
Emperor Liang heard it in his ears and felt pain in his heart, but there was nothing he could do about it. The situation was over.
When we arrived at the Tai Chi Hall, we held a discussion and reward ceremony for the meritorious officials, and a celebration banquet was held in the evening.
Qin Shu became the protagonist of this banquet.
By the next day, there was a stack of documents on Emperor Liang's desk. The first document was a resignation letter, which was written by Zhongshu Ling, saying that he was retiring and returning to his hometown.
As the chief of Zhongshu Province, this official position is very important.
Emperor Liang looked at the resignation and his expression suddenly darkened.
"Zhongshu Ling is only forty-five years old, and he has retired and returned to his hometown! Can this reason be any more false?"
This was obviously Xia Zehai's handiwork. In his absence, those who were left to check and balance Xia Zehai turned into lambs to be slaughtered.
Faced with the pressure of the Soul-Slaying Realm and the current situation, Zhongshu Ling chose to withdraw.
Then the next document was the document to impeach the minister, and the evidence was conclusive and the person was imprisoned.
Emperor Liang's face was extremely ugly. This was a high-ranking official with real power. His military power had been taken away, and now his political power would also be taken away. He was completely emptied out!
Although I had expected this for a long time, I was still very angry when I saw it now, and in the end I could only sigh. He didn't intend to read the other documents, so he walked out of the palace and came to another palace.
Seeing the young prince, Emperor Liang smiled. Now the only son beside him was the youngest son, and he planned to make him the prince, although there was a high possibility that he would become Qin Shu and Xia Zehai's puppet.
"Xiao Qi, my father is here, do you miss him?"
The happy little prince, who was playing games with the palace maid, changed his expression instantly when he saw Emperor Liang.
"The bad guys are coming!"
The little legs started running and closed the palace doors on both sides.
"Bad guy! Big bad guy!"
"It was you who forced the eldest brother to death, and the third brother, who disabled the second brother and refused to let him enter the palace. I never want to see you again!"
Xiao Hongyou woke up long ago, but his meridians were damaged and he had difficulty walking. He could only sit in a wheelchair. Emperor Liang asked him to stay in the palace of Prince Chu.
Emperor Liang's smile suddenly stiffened, and a sense of desolation arose in his heart. Even if he had been away for so long, his youngest son was willing to disown him.
"Who told him! Who!"
…
Qingguohou Mansion.
Li Yunxin poured a cup of hot tea for Xiao Zhiyu and asked: "Sister Zhiyu, why do you have time to come to my sister today? My sister heard from her husband that now that you have taken an official position, aren't you busy?"
Xiao Zhiyu felt a little uneasy and said, "Xinxin, what do you think my sister is doing to you?"
Li Yunxin immediately felt vigilant in her heart. Generally speaking, this kind of words are meant to ask for something, "Very good, Sister Zhiyu, you can just say whatever you want. There is no need for so many twists and turns between us sisters."
Xiao Zhiyu said: "Xinxin, do you still remember what happened last time?"
Li Yunxin asked: "What's going on?"
Xiao Zhiyu replied: "That's why you want Qin Shu to take Xiaoying as his concubine."
Li Yunxin said vigilantly: "Remember, it's a pity that Sister Zhiyu refused to marry someone, so the husband took a concubine by himself. Does Sister Zhiyu want to marry someone now? It's too late, and the husband may not be willing."
Now that Qin Shu is in a high position, he is very worried. Is he trying to plant some spies in their house? So as a wife, you must be cautious.
Xiao Zhiyu pursed his lips, and then said: "No, I mean, what do you think of me?"
Although she helped Qin Shu manage the situation and stabilize the situation, Qin Shu still hadn't let go yet, which made her very anxious, so she thought of this cousin. She was Qin Shu's legal wife. With her help, Qin Shu might be able to get Qin Shu's help quickly. I finally let go and got his forgiveness.
"Pfft -" Li Yunxin immediately spit out a mouthful of tea and looked at Xiao Zhiyu in shock, "Sister Zhiyu, do you want to listen to what you are saying?"
Xiao Zhiyu's face turned red. Before, she told Qin Shu not to tell her two cousins about their relationship, but now she took the initiative to contact her cousins to express her feelings.
A slap in the face, a slap in the face, a slap in the face.
Xiao Zhiyu said bravely: "I'm right, what do you think of me? I look better than Xiaoying, I'm of royal blood, and we're sisters..."
Li Yunxin was even more shocked. Although she knew that her husband was now a great hero in the Liang Kingdom and held a high position, this cousin was from the royal family and she actually wanted to be her husband's concubine.
It's a bit incredible.
"Wait, let me slow down..."
Xiao Zhiyu sat obediently, waiting for her answer.
Li Yunxin calmed down for a while and then asked: "Sister Zhiyu, are you sure? You are both a prince and a princess. Do you want to be my husband's concubine?"
"Well, it doesn't matter to me. The general is a hero. I admire him very much." Xiao Zhiyu nodded. If he was completely disappointed with Emperor Liang, he had no other thoughts. Now he just wanted to follow Qin Shu: "You are Qin Shu." Shu’s first wife, just tell him to help him find a concubine, and after he agrees, tell him it’s me, okay?”
Li Yunxin was even more stunned after hearing this plan. She felt that this cousin couldn't wait to give herself to her husband.
"Well, let me think about it, let me think about it..."
after an hour.
Xiao Zhiyu left, and Li Yunxin immediately found Qin Shu.
"Husband, Sister Oriyu wants me to help you take her as your concubine."
