Luo Cai smiled and said, "It was indeed a good fight. I heard that he beat two colleagues as soon as he went to the Etiquette Department."

The emperor coughed dryly and said, "Discuss the matter."

Someone spread the word outside that the imperial concubine was domineering and promoted whoever she wanted, and Luo Cai from the Ministry of Civil Affairs became a puppet.

Luo Cai used Zhu Wei to show that he and the Ministry of Finance could not be bullied. Everyone was happy, but the emperor seemed not to be in a good mood.

The proceedings begin.

"Your Majesty, most of the envoys from various states have arrived, and the gifts have also arrived."

Zhu Wei reported.

At the end of each year, each state sends envoys to Chang'an to present this year's gifts.

The emperor was obviously in a much better mood, "Get ready and follow the rules."

The rule is that gifts from each state will be put together and asked to be seen by the emperor, just like mortals offering sacrifices to gods.

As for the envoys, there will also be an opportunity for a collective audience.

The matter was almost discussed, and the emperor rubbed his brows, indicating that he was tired, and everyone felt it was time to get out.

Yang Songcheng glanced at Zheng Qi.

Zheng Qi stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I am very encouraged when I heard about this great victory in Northern Xinjiang. Bei Liao thought that after this battle, it would be more peaceful for the time being. However, Bei Liao is powerful after all, and I am afraid that it will come back next year. We sent troops from Chang'an to Northern Xinjiang to mobilize troops and mobilize troops.

A lot of money and food were wasted..."

Chen Shen raised his eyelids slightly, with a rare look of ridicule in his eyes.

Yang Songcheng raised a good dog!

The emperor looked calm, "Do you have any suggestions?"

"Yes." Zheng Qi said: "Huang Chunhui, the governor of Northern Xinjiang, is old. If he continues to endure hardships, I am worried that there will be something unbearable to say. Your Majesty, I suggest that Huang Chunhui be returned to Chang'an to be raised in honor, so that the hero can start and end well."

"Then who can replace Huang Chunhui?" Yang Songcheng asked with a frown.

Zheng Qi raised his eyes and said, "Your Majesty, Duke Xu has just led his army to victory, and the Northern Liao Dynasty is frightened by it. I think he can take over the post of military governor of Northern Xinjiang."

The emperor glanced at the ministers, "What do you think?"

Yang Songcheng looked at Chen Shen with a smile.

Old dog!

He was sarcastic in his heart.

Now he was not worried about Chen Shen, an old dog, who would stop him. He was only worried that the emperor had doubts about Zhang Chumao's loyalty. That's why he asked Zhang Chumao to bring out his best son to show his loyalty to the emperor.

Suwei, which is proton.

But this was not enough, so Zhang Chumao expressed his position. If he could serve as the governor of Northern Xinjiang, he would do it alone.

The whole family is a hostage. Who dares to question such loyalty?

Wang Douluo stood up and said, "Your Majesty, Huang Zhongcheng has been in Northern Xinjiang for several years and has been very stable. I think it is best not to change him."

The emperor said noncommittally: "What else do you think?"

Zheng Qi smiled, "Huang Zhongcheng is very steady, but I am afraid that he is too steady. It is said..." He looked at everyone and said with a smile: "It is said that Huang Zhongcheng takes a nap every day to discuss matters. This is... too much

Is it stable?"

Yang Songcheng said calmly: "Huang Zhongcheng's hard work has made great achievements."

But it's time for you to get lost.

The four surnames of a family must have influence in the military in order to drive away the old dog, the left prime minister.

This is probably also the emperor's wish.

Wang Douluo looked at Yang Songcheng and said, "Bei Liao is powerful. What does the state leader mean...should we take the initiative?"

Yang Songcheng smiled and said: "We have to act according to the situation."

"I think Northern Xinjiang is dangerous, and it takes a mature and prudent veteran like Huang Zhongcheng to stabilize the situation." Wang Douluo emphasized his position.

"But Mr. Xu Guogong is not frivolous, right?" Zheng Qi replied tit for tat.

Yang Songcheng prepared for a decisive victory, "This great victory shows that Xu Guogong's military skills are excellent. If he goes to take charge of northern Xinjiang, he will definitely make Bei Liao afraid of peeking south."

Everyone was silent.

The emperor looked a little tired of listening, and he couldn't wait to go back to the harem to play the piano and sing.

Chen Shen moved, and everyone's eyes instantly focused on him.

He said slowly: "A great victory... May I ask the father-in-law, how many enemies were killed?"

"More than a thousand!" Yang Songcheng said.

Chen Shen exclaimed, "Who reported this good news...?"

Zheng Qi stood up for his master, "Xu Guogong."

Chen Shen smiled and said, "What do you say in Northern Xinjiang? Your Majesty, why is there no document in Northern Xinjiang about this matter?"

"..."

Old dog! Yang Songcheng sneered, "Northern Xinjiang has no merit, what is there to say?"

Chen Shen said gently: "But they must have witnessed this great victory. Without their verification, this great victory...whose great victory is it?!"

He said it very gently, but everyone felt like a bolt of lightning flashed across their eyes.

The left prime minister questioned the authenticity of this victory!

The emperor must give his opinion.

The ministers waited for the emperor to speak.

The emperor rubbed his eyebrows again, "So, in Northern Xinjiang...Huang Chunhui is old and can't stand the trouble. Let the deputy envoy come to Chang'an and come quickly!"

Then they dispersed.

Zhang Chumao was called to Yang Songcheng's check-in room, and the two had a secret discussion.

That night, Zhao Dong, the vanguard general of the army, committed suicide at home and left a suicide note, saying that he was unworthy of the emperor's trust. Although it was a great victory, there were many losses, and he had no face to face the reward.

Zhang Chumao went to Zhao's house in person, held his soul in mourning, expressed his regret for Zhao Dong in a few words, and put all the losses on his own head... Someone in Chang'an shed tears for this and wrote thirty poems in one night.

, praising Xu Guogong’s generosity.

Immediately, many more people sang praises for Zhang Chumao in the court.

The climax occurred on the second day. Zhang Chumao went to Shu to plead guilty, saying that it was his fault that the vanguard suffered a lot of losses. He begged to strip Xu Guogong of his title and become a pawn in the army to atone for his sins.

Poems about Duke Xu's loyalty and unparalleled righteousness circulated in Chang'an City. It was the end of the year, and despite the cold weather, many poets still organized poetry gatherings, praising His Majesty the Emperor's wisdom, and by the way, they also praised Duke Xu, who was unparalleled in loyalty and righteousness.

The march commander Shi and others were summoned to testify.

All testimonies prove that Xu Guogong is a good man.

"How shameless!"

Yang Xuan couldn't help but sigh.

This matter had to wait for news from Northern Xinjiang. Before that, his most important thing was to treat Zhou Ning to dinner.

"Rookie, be more serious on your first date." Suzaku was instructing him.

"I've been very serious about taking a shower and changing clothes." Yang Xuan looked at himself in the bronze mirror and thought he was a pretty boy.

"Rookie, brush your teeth quickly."

"Why?"

"Otherwise the beauty will dislike your tone."

"You're bluffing me!" Yang Xuan exhaled and took a sniff, feeling very fresh.

"Did you watch the TV series in vain?" Suzaku was annoyed, "Look at those men who put on makeup and perfume for dates, and have to poop before going out, just because they are afraid of farting when they are with beautiful women..."

I'm damned if I listen to you!

Yang Xuan just went outside the gate of Pingkangfang.

When he saw Zhou Ning walking slowly, he sniffed and said, "Suzaku."

"I am here."

"Is it too late to brush your teeth now?"
