The strong wind blew, and the white banners hanging in the Zhongshan Palace were like snow.

The coffins of more than a dozen people who assassinated Xiao Xun were all placed here.

Xie Yanfang stepped over the threshold and looked back at Chu Zhao: "You don't have to accompany me to see him."

"Are you worried that I will be sad?" Chu Zhao said, shaking his head with a smile, "No, I have bid farewell to my father, I can accept losing such a thing."

As he said that, he stepped in first.

Xie Yanfang didn't say anything anymore. She followed her in and stood in front of Xie Yanlai's coffin. When the coffin was opened, although the weather was already cold and various medicines were used, the corpses and smell inside were very terrifying.

Xie Yanfang looked calm and looked carefully and carefully. She took the various items handed over by the servants, including clothes, shoes, socks, and decorations.

"These are all collected by his maid." Xie Yanfang said to Chu Zhao, "It's all the things Yanlai likes to wear and eat."

Chu Zhao said: "He has no preference in the army, and his food, uses and wears the same as everyone else."

Xie Yanfang said: "He is not the ninth son of the Xie family in the army."

The ninth son of the Xie family didn’t have much preference and he quickly prepared it.

"The others have been cremated into ashes." Chu Zhao said softly, "Yanlai is waiting for you to see it with your own eyes."

Xie Yanfang looked at the body in the coffin again and said, "Actually, in my memory, he is still the child who just entered the door. Many of our Xie family's children are the same in my eyes. Now he has finally become different, but unfortunately I can't see him."

Chu Zhao also looked inside the coffin and said, "Actually, when I knew him, he was not the young master of the Xie family. So, I feel a little dazed when I think about it now. I am familiar with it. What I lost was Xie Yanlai, or the post soldier I met by chance on the way."

Xie Yanfang turned to look at her, looked at the sadness and confusion in the girl's eyes, and said softly: "No matter who he is, he will die."

Chu Zhao nodded and signaled to the soldiers beside him: "Closed the coffin."

......

......

As night fell, Xie Yan's ashes were collected. Xie Yanfang returned to her residence. Cai Bo had already arranged the interior and laid the incense. The servants stood in handkerchiefs with copper basins and handkerchiefs.

Xie Yanfang took the scarf and handkerchief handed over by the servant, and Cai Bo took off his cloak.

"Do you want to take a shower and change your clothes now?" the servants asked.

Xie Yanfang nodded: "The queen has prepared a dinner party, I will go there later."

The servants were busy preparing.

"Young Master." Cai Bo asked, "Are you sure it was the corpse Xie Yan coming?"

Du Qi, who followed in, yelled: "If it is burned like that, what can you see."

Uncle Cai glared at him: "Of course I can't see the body, I want to see the reaction of the person next to me."

Du Qi frowned and hugged his arms, "Queen? He didn't cry or shout, and he didn't look sad at all."

"It would be strange if the queen really cried and shouted." Xie Yanfang smiled.

Cai Bo frowned slightly: "The queen and Xie Yanlai have always been very close. Xie Yanlai died, but to help her annihilate Xiao Xun, she should not be indifferent."

Xie Yanfang held the teacup and looked at the dispersed heat, and said: "The queen was not indifferent. She seemed a little confused, as if she had lost an unfamiliar person. But this reaction was normal, because Xie Yanlai had always been divided for the queen. In her eyes, there were two Xie Yanlai. Xie Yanlai, who was close to the queen, was not the Xie family in the eyes of the queen. Now she didn't know which Xie Yanlai should be sad for."

What did Xie Yan come and that Xie Yan come? Du Qi and Cai Bo looked at each other.

"Young Master, please tell me if there is any problem." Du Qi said, "I came to see it myself to confirm."

"I'm here, I've seen it, I buried my brother with my own hands, which is to confirm that he is dead." Xie Yanfang said, drinking all the tea.

That's right, even if Xie Yanlai was not lying in the coffin, he would be a dead person. Cai Bo smiled and said, "Young master, go and take a shower, don't let the queen wait too long." When he said this, he recalled the scene of entering the city to see the queen. He hadn't seen him for a year. The girl was more calm and even had a bit of majesty of joy and anger. "After this battle, no one in the court could stop her from speaking."

Xie Yanfang smiled: "It should have been."

......

......

When Xie Yanfang took a shower and changed clothes, she came to the Zhongshan Palace again and learned that the queen was meeting the officials.

"Who is it?" Xie Yanfang asked.

As the rebellion ended, there were also many officials coming and going between the capital and Zhongshan County.

Valley burial

"It's the commander Ding of the Gongwei Department." The Bingwei did not hide it and asked again, "Master Zhongcheng, do you need to report to you?"

Xie Yanfang waved his hand: "No, the affairs of the Guard Department are all confidential. Don't disturb the queen. I'll take a look at the scenery of the Zhongshan Palace first." After that, he stood in the corridor and looked around.

The Bingwei stood in silence as he said, without informing him.

Chu Zhao was looking at the list handed over by Ding Dachui. This was the staff of the Guard Division to be established here.

"I'm relieved to you who have picked it out," Chu Zhao said. "But remember to check these aristocratic families to be secretive. The rebellion is now quelled, and we cannot cause trouble again, let alone alarm the snake. These aristocratic families that are entrenched in the local area have even been a hundred years old, with mixed roots and no official positions, but they are more difficult to deal with than officials."

Ding Dachui responded: "Don't worry, I understand."

Chu Zhao said: "But don't worry, I will sit here in person and wait for your guard department to settle down and I will leave."

"Empress, you are in the capital and here, and you don't need to force us specifically." Ding Dahui said, with a little concern, "You have been out for so long, go back and take a break."

Chu Zhao smiled: "I'm fine. I'm not just staying here for you. I have been planning for decades. I must be sure that this place will become stable so that I can go home with confidence."

When she talked about going home, her eyes lit up. Ding Dachui couldn't help but think that the queen really wanted to go home too.

"Okay, don't worry, Empress, I will take good care of my family." He said solemnly.

The home she mentioned was not the capital. Chu Zhao smiled and asked, "Slayhammer, have you ever thought about going home? You guys can't wait anymore, you guys go to the house to have a look."

Now that Ding Dahui is walking out of the capital, the people dare not look at him directly. No matter how the officials look down on them, they are polite on the surface. Ding Dahui almost forgot that he was a bandit, and he couldn't remember what he had lived before he became a bandit.

He even felt that he was born as a commander.

Of course, the queen is very clear about their origins.

Thinking of his origin, Ding Dachui smiled embarrassedly: "Brothers have settled down in the capital. It turns out that those who have wives and children have been brought in, and those who don't have one have also found a wife and life is very good."

Speaking of this, I gave Chu Zhao a deep tribute again.

"Thank you, the Queen, for your kindness."

"You have been given your life to this day. You have given me great kindness first so that I can show you kindness to you." Chu Zhao said with a smile.

Xiaoman, who was standing aside and silently snorted: "Don't say it's over, it's over."

Ding Daechui smiled and said, "Thank you, Miss Xiaoman, too."

Xiaoman snorted and turned his head.

"Okay, you go down." Chu Zhao handed him the list, "I'll go back to the capital early after I finish my work."

Ding Dachui responded with a sound and reached out to take it and left.

Chu Zhao leaned on the back of the chair and breathed softly, closing his eyes slightly.

"Are you tired?" Xie Yanfang's voice came from outside, "Why don't you come again tomorrow?"

Chu Zhao smiled and opened his eyes: "It's tired to face a minister, but Mr. Xie is not a minister at this moment." After that, he sat up straight, "And, it's because he's tired that he has to eat even more, Xiaoman, and pass on the meal."

Xiaoman said his instructions to the outside world, Xie Yanfang walked in with a smile, and sat down opposite Chu Zhao.

"Empress, although she is a little tired, she is in good spirits." He looked at her for a moment and said, "Then should I go back to the capital first, or wait for the place to be more stable? If the empress returns, I will deal with the matter here."

Before, when Xiao Xun led his troops to approach the capital for the first time, this was how it was. Chu Zhao ended the war, while Xie Yanfang stayed along the way for the aftermath.

Chu Zhao shook his head: "This time is different from last time. I didn't really fight last time. This time I've been really good at killing me for almost a year. I'll fight, so I'll do it after the aftermath." He said, "It won't be too long. After the officials here are selected and the government is running, I will go back. I will definitely have to go back during the Chinese New Year."

Xie Yanfang nodded and said ok.

Here Xiaoman led his attendant to deliver food.

"I haven't been to Zhongshan County before," Chu Zhao said with a smile. "I think it's quite delicious when I try the flavor here."

Xie Yanfang reached out and picked up the chopsticks.

"The Third Young Master." Chu Zhao said again, "If I do this, do you think I am too hegemonic?"

Previously, he raised the curtains to speak and interfered in the government affairs, but now he stayed in the prefectures and counties and personally reset the disrupted government, which means that the queen has also placed forces in the local area.

Xie Yanfang held the chopsticks and said, "In my heart, the Empress and Your Majesty should hegemony the world. I don't think this is hegemony. This is what the Empress should do and must do. Moreover, Xie Yanfang is willing to give advice to the Empress and go through fire and water without hesitation."

After saying that, he looked at Chu Zhao, his eyes clear and bright.
