The best county magistrate

Chapter 208 Retreat

Ruiguang Palace.

"Your Majesty, Yang Xuanchen, is here to see you. Long live your Majesty. Long live your Majesty."

Emperor Jianwen waved his hand, and when he saw Yang Xuanchen coming, the smile on his face became even bigger, "I love you."

"Mr. Yelu, what do you think about what we just discussed?" He looked at Yeluchi and asked.

Yang Xuanchen stood up and looked around.

Not only people from Honglu Temple and the Ministry of Rites were present, but also the Minister of the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Husbandry, and even the two big bosses of the Zhongshu Shangshu Province were present.

I just slept for a while, and a lot of things seemed to have happened.

He quietly walked to the Secretary of the Ministry of Finance and asked in a low voice: "Master Jiang, what did you guys talk about just now? Can you tell me no?"

Seeing that it was the God of Wealth from the Household Department, he asked himself, Jiang Zekai knew everything and said everything in detail. In a few words, he gave a general summary of what had just happened.

It turns out that just now, the two countries had been discussing the withdrawal of troops and trade, and they were waiting to implement it after the mission returned.

You guys are almost done talking, what's the point of calling me here?

"Your Majesty, Yeluchi will leave for Huajing soon. We will do our best to withdraw the troops."

After Yeluchi finished speaking, he bowed and looked at Yang Xuanchen a few times, with a slight color in his eyes.

When it fell on Yang Xuanchen's side, I felt that the eyes were not so friendly, and Park Guochang next to Yeluchi also had an inexplicable smile.

There was a thump in his heart, these two guys wouldn't care about me, they would try to stumbling upon me when they get back.

Although he was a little worried, he couldn't lose in terms of momentum. Yang Xuanchen straightened up and cast a sharp look at the two of them.

"Yang Xuanchen!" Emperor Jianwen called him.

Yang Xuanchen immediately stood up and walked quickly to the center of the hall and bowed, "I'm here!"

"Mr. Yelu just now said that the cultural fight this time was very good. He also said that you said before that the two countries should have more cultural exchanges."

"What I mean is that you take people to Huajing City this autumn. Firstly, you can congratulate Empress Dowager Jin on her 70th birthday for me, and secondly, you can deepen the cultural collision."

Emperor Jianwen's words directly shocked Yang Xuanchen.

Let me tell you, let Honglu Temple and the Ministry of Rites take care of this matter. You are making trouble for me, the young master.

Besides, when it comes to cultural exchanges, you still have to ask Li Changliu, the Minister of Education, to come forward. What’s the point of me going there?

At this time, Yang Xuanchen turned his head and glanced at Li Changliu. Unfortunately, he, an old man, was just stroking his beard and smiling without saying a word.

"Chen..." Yang Xuanchen's tone seemed a little reluctant.

"Huh?" Emperor Jianwen's eyebrows jumped, and his face immediately turned cold.

Yang Xuanchen had no choice but to lean down and bow, "I obey your order."

The high officials present all cast envious glances at him.

Not only did Yang Xuanchen win many literary battles, but now he was so favored, the ancestral graves in this boy's family would probably be smoking.

When he returned to Jiang Zekai.

"Master Xiao Yang, congratulations, congratulations, congratulations. When you come back from this mission, you will definitely be promoted to a higher rank."

Yang Xuanchen didn't take it seriously after hearing this, and his face even became more bitter than bitter gourd.

"Master Jiang, please tell me, I am not from the Imperial College, nor from Honglu Temple or the Ministry of Rites."

"Is it appropriate for me, a member of Zhan Shifu, to go to Beiliao?"

Jiang Zekai covered his mouth and said, "Shh, shh, don't say it so loudly. Your Majesty has your own reasons for letting you go."

"It's still more than half a year away. Maybe there will be some changes by then?"

After being persuaded like this, Yang Xuanchen seemed to feel better. He gently pushed Jiang Zekai's hand away and smiled bitterly, "Just take it one step at a time."

After the Beiliao delegation discussed with the ministers for a while, the palace waiters carried plates of delicacies into the Ruiguang Palace.

Then the doctor from Jixia Academy and Tuoba Zhongxuan each led the students participating in the literary fight into Ruiguang Hall.

"In order to celebrate the outstanding performance of my students from Dayan and the students from Bei Liao in literary battles, I have specially organized this banquet today and hope that you young people will continue to work hard!"

Emperor Jianwen raised his wine glass as he spoke, his eyes shining with joy, "Everyone, drink this glass of wine together."

Everyone said in unison, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

After three rounds of wine and five delicious dishes, Emperor Jianwen left the Ruiguang Palace ahead of schedule and did not forget to call Yang Xuanchen when he left.

"Come with me for a walk in the Royal Garden." His tone was very pleasant, and Yang Xuanchen naturally felt relaxed.

"Xuan Chen, how great a person's ability is, how great his responsibility is. I don't need to tell you more about this, right?"

Naturally, there is no need to think too much about such tentative questions.

Yang Xuanchen, who was following Emperor Jianwen, immediately took up the conversation, "Your Majesty is right, I understand."

"There are still some days until autumn, I will prepare well..."

The two chatted wordlessly, and soon arrived at the Royal Garden.

There are many small bridges, flowing water and rockeries in the huge garden. Unfortunately, the weather has not gotten much warmer yet, and the flowers in the garden are still dying.

"Tell me, what reward do you want?"

Yang Xuanchen reacted, then walked two steps quickly to Emperor Jianwen and bowed politely.

"It is my duty to share His Majesty's worries. Moreover, I am a scholar, and it is my duty to fight in literary battles. I won by luck, and I dare not take any credit."

Emperor Jianwen glanced at him thoughtfully and suddenly laughed, "You have never told the truth with your mouth."

Seeing that Yang Xuanchen wanted to speak again, he waved his hand to block his words.

"You did a good job in Wen Dou this time, and you won my heart very much. Not only did you slap Beiliao hard on my behalf, but you also convinced the elders from Jixia Academy."

Having said this, he patted Yang Xuanchen on the shoulder, "You did a good job!"

"But I have just appointed you as Shao Zhanshi. If I promote you again now, I am afraid that those officials will impeach me and say that I am a coward."

"Your Majesty, it's really not necessary. I just did what I had to do." Yang Xuanchen continued to be modest.

"Hey, I always distinguish rewards and punishments. If you do well, you will be rewarded." Emperor Jianwen touched his chin and thought for a while, then continued.

"Let's do this. Let them discuss it with me tomorrow morning and make you a viscount."

"Well, I'll call you Wen Hanzi."

After some evasion, Yang Xuanchen finally accepted the title of Viscount Wen Hanzi, but Emperor Jianwen remained silent about the substantive reward.

Since he didn't mention it, Yang Xuanchen naturally didn't dare to ask for it, but just wrote all the little depression in his heart on his face.

"Oh, you look unhappy when I give you a knighthood?"

After Emperor Jianwen said something, he started teasing, "Why, if you don't want to, I won't force you..."

Seeing the opportunity coming, Yang Xuanchen put on a smile and replied: "Your Majesty, you also know that I am greedy for money, why don't you do something substantial?"

"I heard that you, Yang Xuanchen, have a rich family. Do you still care about that little money?"

Unexpectedly, Emperor Jianwen, who had a solemn face all day long, was not only serious but also very stingy. Yang Xuanchen couldn't help but smile for a while, it seemed that there would be no benefit.

He followed Emperor Jianwen and gave him a few fierce glances, "Your Majesty, I plan to buy the Xie family's villa outside Shangjing City."

"You just bought a house, why are you buying a villa again?" Emperor Jianwen was a little puzzled.

"Your Majesty, do you still remember what I told you last time?"

"Ok?"

Yang Xuanchen whispered a few words into his ear. Emperor Jianwen's eyes lit up. After thinking for a moment, he nodded heavily.

"I only allow you to have two thousand men. If you have one more man, I will punish you. Can you do that?"

Emperor Jianwen looked at him and reminded him word by word.

Seeing what he wanted to say, Yang Xuanchen immediately leaned over and bowed, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for the reward!"

"Good boy, you are waiting for me here!" Emperor Jianwen cursed with a smile and called Wu Dahai over.

"Xiao Wuzi, tell Concubine Shu that you can use some money from Zijinzhai's account to buy the villa that Yang Xuanchen mentioned."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

After Wu Dahai left, Yang Xuanchen finally showed a bright smile.

"Your Majesty, don't worry. These people will all be your Majesty's people in the future, and they will never be my people, Yang Xuanchen."
