After seeing Sima Tong's visit, Zhao Yanzhi broke out in a cold sweat from fright.He thought bitterly, this person never seemed to know how to put his own life in his heart.That was the case in Ping An, and it is the same now!Zhao Yanzhi summoned Zhao Wangzhi and Gu Shenxing to inform them, and then immediately transferred Xie Qing back to Chang'an, and he would never let him go. From then on, this person would never want to leave his side again!

Seeing the irritable emperor walking back and forth in the front hall of Chengde Hall, Gu Shenxing lamented in his heart, the emperor is still young, this restless look can teach him how to relax and live a happy life.What Zhao Wangzhi thinks is: Although this child is more cunning than his elder brother, he treats others with affection and righteousness, which is really commendable.

"Sir, Dai County is dangerous. I want to order Huaifang to return to Chang'an immediately. He has been in the army for a few months, and he has done a good job this time. The credit is there. How can I use him? I can't say anything more. Sir, what kind of official position do you think I will give Huai Fang?" Zhao Yanzhi said straight to the point.

Gu Shenxing frowned: "Your Majesty, what are you talking about? Huaifang is doing well in Dai County. Everything has just started to improve. If you transfer him back to Chang'an, won't you just give up halfway?"

Zhao Yanzhi looked at Gu Shenxing in disbelief: "Okay? Sir, dozens of people from Huaifang confronted three thousand Hun cavalry. I am still shaking with fright. I can't even think about what happened to Huaifang at that time. He What if something happens? This time, with the protection of Taiyi God, he can get out of the body, but what if this happens again? Who knows if he can have such good luck? "

Gu Shenxing didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Your Majesty, if you care about it, you will be in chaos. How could it be luck that dozens of Huaifang people were able to return the three thousand Xiongnu cavalry in full armor? It was his extraordinary commander and adaptability that protected him. Besides, even if it is King Chang Shan," Gu Shenxing gave Zhao Wangyi a very affectionate look, "even King Chang Shan may not be able to do better than him at his age. What else is there to worry about, Your Majesty? "

Zhao Yanzhi refused to give in at all, and his tone was never insistent: "No way. He can't stay in Daidi any longer. Anyway, no one can say badly about this battle. Once he returns to Chang'an, I can reuse him." he."

Gu Shenxing squinted his eyes: "Then what is Your Majesty going to use him for? Guang Luxun? Wei Wei? From this point of view, Huaifang wants to crack the soil and make him a marquis. I am afraid that he will have to wait until the day when he is lucky enough to be the prime minister." Zhao Wangzhi added at the right time. He continued: "Hey, the right time, the right place, and the same people are all indispensable, otherwise the sky will not be able to help. Who knows if Huaifang will ever have such a day?"

Zhao Yanzhi suddenly looked at Gu Shenxing, his eyes flashed brightly: "Sir, what did you say...?"

Gu Shenxing looked back at each other with a smile: "What I want to say is what His Majesty thinks it is."

Zhao Yanzhi frowned and weighed it for a while, and then said: "I was negligent. I have done nothing but deserve it. If that is the case, then let Huaifang make contributions in the land." Xiang Gu Shenxing: "The Huns are always unstable in autumn and winter, why don't we let Huaifang come back first, and then go after this period, what do you think, sir?"

Gu Shenxing and Zhao Wangzhi looked at each other, feeling that they saw the same helplessness in each other's eyes.Zhao Wangzhi said patiently: "It's not that good. Your Majesty, when the Huns subside, the land will be safe, but what kind of battles can Huaifang succeed in?"

Zhao Yanzhi himself was a little helpless.On the one hand, he is eager to let Xie Qing achieve untold achievements, and on the other hand, he is unstoppably worried about Xie Qing's safety—this person is usually gentle and gentle, but when the critical moment comes, his nature of gambler is fully exposed. This is not the first time that he has taken his own life seriously.As soon as Zhao Yanzhi thought that the thing he was desperately protecting would be beaten and ruined by Xie Qing mercilessly, he didn't like it at all, even if it was Xie Qing's own life.

"If a young eagle stays under its wings, it will never be able to fight in the sky. Even if it is born an eagle, it may not necessarily fly higher than a sparrow in the end." Gu Shenxing said earnestly: "Your Majesty cannot protect Huaifang." For the rest of his life. What's more, he was not born to be protected under the wings of others."

Zhao Yanzhi's expression loosened, and finally compromised: "That's good. I'll bet on his future." Zhao Yanzhi's attitude changed quickly after thinking about it, and he immediately discussed with Gu Shenxing where Xie Qing's fief should be sealed. What, the number of closed households should be such a topic that does not leave a word.

When Gu Shenxing saw Zhao Yanzhi's posture of choosing the fiefdom for Xie Qing, he somehow remembered that when he was choosing the dowry for his daughter, he also hated the east and the west. This is not good and that is not right. give her.In the end, it was a white-haired man sending a black-haired man, Gu Shenxing couldn't help but blushed.Zhao Wangzhi sighed, held Gu Shenxing's hand, and said to Zhao Yanzhi: "Your Majesty, Peiping is the best place for Huaifang's fiefdom."

Zhao Yanzhi immediately became displeased: "Beiping is vast, sparsely populated, and barren, so what's so good about it?" What's more, Zhao Xin asked him to bring something that Zhao Xin didn't bother to ask for, and gave it to Xie Qing, who valued him the most. How could he swallow such a mouthful? Bad breath?

"There are so many wealthy counties in Guangling, why does Your Majesty only want to cut down Beiping? Your Majesty must have noticed that that place is very suitable for stationing troops." Gu Shenxing persuaded.

Zhao Wangzhi continued: "Your Majesty should garrison Guangling with his confidantes. Once the King of Guangling changes, he can quickly quell the chaos."

Zhao Yanzhi was silent.Although Beiping is now nationalized, it is difficult to secretly station troops.The military and political powers of local officials are separated, and if they act rashly, there are many people with mixed opinions, and if any link goes wrong, it is inevitable to startle the snake.But once it is granted to Liehou, it will be different.Liehou can directly control all matters of his fiefdom, and it is much easier to station troops without anyone noticing.Zhao Yanzhi also saw this at the beginning, so he anxiously cut Beiping off from Zhao Xin's fiefdom.

"Your Majesty is optimistic about Huaifang's ability to manage the army. Don't worry, although he is in poor health and can hardly go to the battlefield in person, he may not be willing to command the armed forces." Gu Shenxing persuaded.In fact, all three people here are well aware that Gu Shenxing is old, and his successor must be Xie Qing.

Zhao Wangzhi looked at the young emperor who understood everything but still looked reluctant and reconciled, even if he was only temporarily wronged and Xie Qing, somehow he felt a lot more relieved, and he persuaded softly: "There are many good places around Beiping. , Your Majesty just choose a good place when you are in Yifeng. Only by enduring the pain for a while can you achieve great things."

Zhao Yan was reluctantly happy because of Xie Qing, who was going to hand over the military power to him in the future.

The emperor's edict was sent to Daijun, praising Xie Qing for this battle, but there was no content about Xie Qing's return to Chang'an that Sima Tong and Xin Wan were eagerly looking forward to, which made them quite frustrated.However, what was even more depressing was still to come. That night, Sima Tong and Xin Wan received a secret order from the emperor, to the effect that the two of them must ensure Xie Qing's safety, especially on the battlefield. Of course it is best to be unscathed. It can never be more serious than a minor injury.

On the war zone!Sima Tong was crazy, he felt that this must be one of the most unreasonable demands he received in his life.If you're really worried, just transfer him back to Chang'an and keep him by your side, but you still have to slap your swollen face to make the fat Bomei smile, and the way is Xu Meiren fights her life on the battlefield.The sword has no eyes, and it is absolutely impossible to be unscathed. The only feasible aspect of this edict is that His Majesty the Emperor reluctantly allowed the occurrence of "minor injuries". A little more should still be possible.

But Xin Wan was obviously not so optimistic.She was convinced that the "minor injury" mentioned by the emperor and what Sima Tong thought were definitely two different concepts. Xie Qing would be regarded as a serious illness by the emperor if he let the wind blow and catch a cold after drinking. She was sure that if Xie Qing went back, Even if there is a scar on their bodies, both of them will be eaten alive by the emperor.

Maybe it was the blessing of Taiyi God, maybe it was the smoke from the ancestral graves of Sima Tong or Xin Wan's family, anyway, for some unknown reason, the Huns did not invade in large numbers until the fall of that year was almost over.Probably because I don't know where to get the food needed for the winter.Let Sima Tong and Xin Wan live in fear for several months.

As the year approaches, Xie Qing wants to go back to Chang'an first, his marriage is almost ready, some things need to be done by himself, so he has to go back early to prepare.His wedding day is set on the eighteenth day of the first lunar month, and he will probably take about half a month of marriage leave after that.Therefore, returning to Dai County will probably be in the middle of February next year.

The woman the Xie family arranged for him was not of high birth, but she was the daughter of an innocent family.But compared to the rich family like the Xie family, that woman can be regarded as a small family jade at best.Xie Qing himself didn't care, he felt that based on his aunt's dislike for him, she was willing to help him choose a woman who was said to have a good character and appearance, which was already worthy of him.

Sima Tong naturally wanted to celebrate the New Year in Dai, but he was not at all unhappy with Xie Qing's one-month vacation, but was full of gratitude and anticipation for the upcoming comfortable days.

I can't say that I have any special feelings about getting married, but Xie Qing is still very happy at the thought of going home.Along the way, he couldn't help wondering whether Ah Yuan had grown taller again, how his husband was, whether King Chang Shan was still in Chang'an, whether she would like the gadgets he brought to Ah Xiang... But what he didn't know was that, Ever since his marriage was settled, Zhao Yanzhi has never had a good face, even Gu Shenxing, the emperor's master, has been walking around him recently when he has nothing to do.
