King Xian looked at Xu Qing and asked, "You came back alone?"
Xu Qing looked at Xian Wang: "What else?"
The wise king glanced at Xu Qing with hatred, and then sighed: "If only I were twenty years younger..."
When Xu Qing heard this, the corner of his mouth couldn't help but twitch, and he quickly changed the topic and said: "I wonder why the prince has brought me here so early?"
He is still thinking about going back to find his wife, but he has no time to argue with the wise king here.
King Xian said: "It's okay."
"Is everything okay?" Xu Qing's eyes widened suddenly. Is he here to play tricks on him?
The Xian King looked at Xu Qing and said: "When you were in Fengzhou, you had nothing to do and wrote a letter back. Xue'er almost evacuated my palace. Can't I keep you for a little longer?"
Revenge, proper revenge!
etc……
How could the wise king know what he wrote in the letter to his wife?
Could it be that the person who sent the message was also a member of the virtuous king, and had passed through the virtuous king's hand first?
It's not impossible, there's no secret in the letter.
But there are four words written on it: "My wife kisses me personally"!
Xu Qing looked at the wise king: "You still secretly read the letter I wrote to my wife?"
The wise king said: "Nonsense! When did I peek at the letter you wrote to your wife?"
Xu Qing: "Then how did you know that I asked Xueer to do this in the letter?"
King Xian: "You sent me a letter from home, and Xue'er went back and forth eight times a day between the palace and Anding County to carry various weapons. Do you think this king will think that Xue'er has nothing to do?"
Xu Qing: "Then you originally said that you would be able to return to the city in half a month. After the bandits were suppressed, the distance has become a city. What did you say, Jun Wu?"
The Xian King looked at Xu Qing: "I am not a king, but... is this why you asked Xue'er to almost empty the palace?"
Xu Qing coughed: "Actually, I didn't expect the princess to take so much."
The wise king was silent for a moment and then asked: "By the way, during your absence, I have beaten some officials, and one of the ministers of household affairs has been missing. I plan to transfer a state governor to be the minister of household affairs. You
Who do you think is more suitable?"
Xu Qing shook his head and said: "How can an outsider talk about this kind of thing casually? What you are asking is a bit embarrassing."
The wise king waved his hand and said: "Don't be nervous. I didn't say that I will use whoever you choose. I am bold enough to say that I am just for reference."
Xu Qing: "Just say it?"
Wise King: "Say whatever you want."
Xu Qing: "Then let Dong Song be the governor of Yongzhou."
The wise king asked: "The reason."
Xu Qing said matter-of-factly: "He is the only provincial governor I am familiar with. If you ask me to choose one, do I have any other choice besides choosing him?"
The wise king nodded and took out an imperial edict that had been prepared as a template. The rest of the parts had been written according to the template, leaving only the name that had not been filled in.
The wise king picked up the brush and wrote on the blank name: "Dong Song, the governor of Yongzhou".
After finishing writing, the wise king said: "Here comes someone."
As soon as the wise king finished speaking, the commanders of the four guards wearing black armor walked in, cupped their hands and said: "Your Majesty."
The wise king handed the imperial edict to the commanders of the four guards and said: "Take this edict to the official department for backup, and then hand it over to the eunuch who passed the edict to Fengzhou. This person is recommended by Boli of Anding County, so they should not neglect it."
The commander of the four guards received the imperial edict, bowed and said: "I will obey the order."
After saying that, the commanders of the four guards took two steps back and walked out.
Xu Qing looked at this scene and was dumbfounded: "Didn't you just say that you only let me talk casually for reference?"
The wise king nodded: "Yes, I have finished the reference and found that Dong Song is really suitable. The Anding county uncle is really discerning, so he is the only one."
Xu Qing: "..."
Do you dare to be more hasty?
…
When Xu Qing came out of Prince Xian's Mansion, he was still puzzled and felt that something was wrong.
A wise king is not a mediocre person and should not be hasty.
Prince Xian's Mansion
In the study
Princess Xian brought in a bowl of grape smoothie, placed it in front of King Xian's table, and asked, "Just now, has Xu Qing been here?"
The Xian King nodded and said: "Xu Qing, this boy, helped me in my position as Minister of Household Affairs."
Princess Xian guessed: "Xu Qing has recommended a suitable candidate? However, it should not be difficult to determine the position of Minister."
The wise king shook his head and said: "No, he chose the person I wanted to choose."
Princess Xian asked curiously: "Then why did Xu Qing need to say it?"
King Xian said: "The governor of Yongzhou came from a poor family. He is not like the previous Minister of Household Affairs who took care of things before he took office. Dong Song has no connections, power and power in the court, and he is not like Dong Song.
Xu Qingna is extremely talented, so people who are not bad in talent but have no outstanding qualities can easily be targeted by officials from surrounding aristocratic families."
Princess Xian smiled and said: "If Xu Qing is added, Dong Song, the governor of Yongzhou, will no longer have no one and no connections. Others will have to weigh it carefully if they want to target him."
The Xian King nodded and said: "Officials from poor families who are incompatible with aristocratic families can easily be isolated and targeted, but this boy is an exception. Both the aristocratic family and the generals are very open to it, and they associate him with Dong Song.
Dong Song will have a much easier time in the court in the future."
"If I don't promote a few people from poor families, I'm afraid that the imperial court will be completely controlled by those aristocratic families before long. However, promotion of poor families should not be done too hastily and should be done step by step."
Princess Xian said: "Your Majesty still cares about Da Chu after all."
The wise king smiled and said: "My husband is worried about the stupid brother on the throne. If he can handle everything by himself, I will be too lazy to care about him."
"The same goes for that boy Xu Qing. He asked Xue'er to move so many things to his house for nothing. If he didn't do something, I would still be upset after all!"
…
Anding Bofu
Today's Uncle Anding's mansion is filled with joy.
Today there is good news and even better news for the maids and servants of Anding House.
The good news is that Sir Alex is back.
The even better news is that Sir Alex Ferguson has given them a three-fold increase in monthly fees this month.
At this time, Xu Qing was being dragged to the martial arts arena by Xiao Ruxue to admire the weapons she brought from the palace.
Xiao Ruxue pointed to a hollow spear with a five-clawed golden dragon pattern placed in the middle of the martial arts arena and said, "This golden dragon-pointed steel spear is so powerful that it can penetrate cracked gold stones. It was used by my father during his first personal expedition."
However, I heard that the emperor gave up the throne to his uncle after he came back from the military expedition. My father used this spear to fight one against a hundred, and the dragon pattern on it was very well carved and very impressive.
"
Xu Qing swallowed a sip of saliva, looked at Xiao Ruxue who was introducing the features of the weapon to him with her hands on her waist, and said: "Be obedient and return this gun."
"You don't like this gun?" Xiao Ruxue pouted. She spent a lot of effort to move it here from the palace.
However, Xiao Ruxue quickly cheered up again, pulled Xu Qing to a long sword with a wide blade, and introduced: "You should like this sword. It is made of black iron and cuts iron like mud. Even ordinary armor
It can't stand a blow from it, so my father calls it the Black Iron Giant Sword, and the generals in the court call it the Supreme Giant Sword."
"The hilt of the sword is made into a coiled shape of a golden dragon, and the tail of the sword is made into the shape of a dragon holding a pearl in its mouth. Even the blade is engraved with dragon patterns. This is also very beautiful, right?"
Xu Qing swallowed again: "Be obedient and give this back..."
