After hearing Xue Yuanchao's advice, Xue Shao did not go to Luoyang to report the funeral, but stayed in the Weishui camp to preside over military affairs and handle Pei Xingjian's mourning funeral.

Every day, many military leaders come to ask Xue Shao when we will set off?

Xue Shao's unified reply to them was to wait for the court to condemn.

So everyone looked forward to the court's orders as soon as possible that the last army that Mr. Pei led during his lifetime could set off as soon as possible.

The general lives by fighting. Only war can bring them military merits, wealth and fame, and opportunities for progress step by step. But now, all the generals of the Western Expedition Army have the only common wish left in their hearts - to expedition to the Western Regions to eliminate the rebellion and comfort the spirit of Pei in the sky!

It was like a group of sons following the father's will.

But this wait will last for seven days.

It was not until the first seventh day of Pei Xingjian that Luoyang issued an order, asking Prince Li Xian to go to the army to read it out.

The imperial edict is very long. The previous section is like an epitaph, constantly expressing and praising Pei Xingjian's achievements and morality throughout his life. He posthumously awarded Pei Xingjian as a second-rank senior general of Youzhou Grand Commander and posthumously named "Xian".

In the traditional Chinese posthumous culture, the clever and wise are called Xian, the wise and wise are called Xian, the wise and virtuous are called Xian, and the broad-minded are called Xian. It means that it praises Pei Xingjian for his erudition, talent, intelligence, wisdom, versatility, and versatility. He is also a gentleman with a very noble virtue.

According to Pei Xingjian's last wish during his lifetime, the court allowed him to be buried in the ancestral tomb of his hometown in Wenxi County, Hedong, rather than burying the imperial tomb like other meritorious officials and generals. His three sons must stay in their hometown to guard the filial piety and protect the tomb. The imperial edict specially ordered the Crown Prince Li Xian to be responsible and selected specialists to raise and take care of Pei Xingjian's three sons until they all became adults and could support themselves.

Xue Shao and others reacted very coldly to the imperial edict. The dead were gone. The court now thought about what the use of being kind to Mr. Pei? Why not treat him well during his lifetime?

The second half of the imperial edict is an important personnel arrangement for this Western Expedition Army.

First of all, the 200,000 Western Expedition Army will no longer be expeditions.

The imperial edict promoted Li Duozuo to the General of Right Guard and ordered him to investigate the military affairs of the General of Right Guard (replaced Pei Xingjian's position), handed over all the Western Expedition Army under Li Duozuo, took them back to Luoyang to guard the Xindu, and directly obeyed the command of His Majesty the Emperor.

Secondly, all the generals, except Xue Shao, returned to Luoyang with Li Duozuo and obeyed the orders.

Finally, the Right Yu Lin Guard General Xue Shao was appointed to lead the remaining troops in Chang'an, Gongwei Xijing and Xijing. All military and political affairs were important, and everything was heard from the orders of the Minister Pei Yan District.

In other words, Xue Shao left nothing behind, and he didn't even have the chance to return to Luoyang to meet the saint. Moreover, he was assigned to Pei Yan's command to serve - professionally wear small shoes.

The imperial edict had just been read, and the whole audience was in an uproar.

Many impatient generals jumped up and roared angrily!

"Why not expedition to the west?"

"Why not to fight west!"

"Why not to fight west!!!"

Li Xian was so scared that he was trembling all over, but no one looked shy.

Xue Shao slowly stood up, his expression was cold, even so cold that he was a little so cruel.

"Sister... Xue, General Xue!" Seeing the enthusiasm of the crowd, Li Xian was frightened and hurriedly approached Xue Shao and begged tremblingly, "You should dissuade them quickly and don't mutiny!"

Xue Shao remained indifferent and said lightly: "What people want is hard to disobey everyone's will. I'm afraid Xue is the same, and she can't help her!"

"Li Duozuo, General Li!" Li Xianbing rushed to Li Duozuo and hurriedly jumped to Li Duozuo again, pulling his sleeve and begging him, "Hurry, please dissuade your colleagues! Hurry up and thank you!"

"snort!"

Li Duozuo groaned and shook his sleeves, his face turned aside, and he ignored Li Xian at all.

Li Xian was completely stunned and wanted to escape in a hurry.

"All the generals, please be quiet."

A female voice sounded, not loud, but it calmed down all the angry generals.

The vain Kudi walked among the crowd in white clothes.

Everyone looked at her.

"The spirit of the first husband in heaven will definitely not want to see all the generals mutiny and cause trouble after he left his death." Kudi's tone was very calm and sincere, "The first husband will follow the king's orders in his life, and there will be no disobedience. Even if he encounters unfair things, there will be no complaints. The first husband once said that generals are the auxiliary of the country. If the Zhou Dynasty is the strong country, the auxiliary country will be weak, and this is the person who controls the fate of the country and the safety of the country must be observed."

After Kudi finished speaking, everyone was silent.

"Assisting Zhou, the country is strong, and assisting the gap, the country is weak." This means that if the general who leads troops is honest and fair, the overall situation is the priority, the country will be strong; on the contrary, if the generals only know how to seek personal gain, the country will be weak.

"General Xue, you are the disciple of my father, why don't you say something?" Kudi said.

Xue Shao sighed and said, "My colleagues, you don't need to express your intentions. You all know your intentions very well. I also know your intentions. Now all of us have only one wish, which is to inherit the will of Duke Pei, and to expedite the Western Regions to wipe out the rebellion, so as to comfort Duke Pei's spirit in the sky."

"that is!"

"That's right!"

The generals should drink together.

Xue Shao said: "But if the court makes such an arrangement, there must be a reason for the court. We generals must obey. Otherwise, it will lead to chaos in the army or even mutiny, and the country will be in chaos. This must not be what Mr. Pei wished during his lifetime. Even if we have good intentions, we will do bad things. Mr. Pei will not rest in peace in the sky, and will even be shamed."

The generals were silent, and many people began to shake their heads and sigh.

"General Li." Xue Shao walked to Li Duozuo, bowed his fists and said, "Your Majesty ordered you to lead your army to Luoyang to protect Dongdu, which must have a deep meaning. You don't have to be suspicious, you must do this with all your heart."

"Li, a foreign general, how can He De inherit the position of Duke Pei?" Li Duozuo was very distressed and whispered, "You shouldn't be the one who takes charge of this matter?"

Xue Shao smiled slightly, "No need to say too much, just do it."

"Okay..." Li Duozuo sighed, "Mr. Li, act according to orders."

Xue Shao walked to Xue Chuyu again, "Brother, when you go to Luoyang, just do your own job well. Don't think about the rest."

This sentence is for Xue Chuyu and for other generals present.

Xue Chuyu nodded understandingly. He couldn't understand Xue Shao's meaning. He just kept his own responsibility and told him not to get involved in political events such as "coup". He kept his innocence and not to get involved in **.

"Xue Shao is here to invite you, and all your colleagues obey the imperial edicts and act." Xue Shao bowed to the generals, "Just just for the sake of Mr. Pei's reputation for his lifetime - please!"

All the generals had no choice but to hold their fists together to agree.

"I wish to call the deputy general manager!"

Li Xian was stunned. There was an imperial edict in front of him, and these generals actually said, "I would like to obey the deputy general manager's orders!"

Xue Shao walked up to Li Xian and hugged his fists, "Your Highness, all the generals have no objection, and are willing to act according to the imperial edict."

"It's good, it's good." Li Xian wiped his cold sweat with relief and solemnly handed over the imperial edict to Xue Shao.

Xue Shao took the imperial edict, stared at it for a moment, and smiled bitterly, "The generals must follow the order... Let's disperse!"

The generals all came out in silence and walked out of the handsome tent.

Kudi walked to Xue Shao and bowed, "General Xue, the court has made arrangements. I will help my father's coffin to Wenxi's hometown for burial. I wonder what arrangements General Xue has made?"

"Of course I'm going with my wife." Kudi needs help, and Xue Shao is just asking for it. Could it be that he really stayed in Chang'an and wore small shoes every day under Pei Yan's hands?

Instead of doing this, it would be better to go and organize a funeral for Mr. Pei and guard his tomb!

Li Xian was clever and hurriedly said, "General Xue, the imperial edict ordered me to select a specialist to raise Mr. Pei's descendants. I will leave this matter to you. How about it?"

"I can't ask for it." Xue Shao bowed and bowed, "Thank you your highness for your grace!"

Li Xian laughed loudly, "It should be, it should be!"

Li Xian's silly appearance made Xue Shao a little amused and said to him: "Your Highness, please be careful with the place where Mr. Pei."

"You can rest assured this!" Li Xian finally got a chance to do something for Xue Shao, and was a little flattered and said hurriedly: "Just go to Wenxi County and hold the funeral of Mr. Pei. I will plead for you and ask for leave for you. If there is any need for the funeral, just look for me. I will do my best to help!"

"Thank you, Your Highness, Prince!" Xue Shao and Kudi thanked each other.

Li Xian laughed again.

On that day, Xue Shao and Kudi took Pei Xingjian's coffin and left the military camp to Wenxi County.

All the soldiers of the Western Expedition Army lined up together to send off.

The crying sounded throughout the Weishui River.

Those who walked with Xue Shao were Wu Ming, Yue Nu, Niu Ben, Guo An and twenty of his subordinates.

Seeing Xue Shao and his group walking out of the military camp alone, Li Duozuo shook his head and sighed repeatedly, and said to Xue Chuyu beside him: "General Xue, how could the court make such an arrangement? After Pei Gongxian left, everyone hoped that Mr. Xue should take over the position and military power left by Mr. Pei?"

"I don't know." Xue Chuyu's answer was very concise.

"I vaguely feel that there seems to be the hands and feet of the servant Pei Yan in it." Li Duozuo frowned and said, "That day, Mr. Xue was going to Luoyang to report his demise in person. After hearing this, Pei Yan called Mr. Xue to Chang'an for questioning. As soon as Mr. Xue came back, he did not go to Luoyang. Now, the imperial edict arranged for Mr. Xue to stay in Chang'an and obey Pei Yan's orders, and even the opportunity to go to Luoyang to meet the saint is no longer given to Mr. Xue. No matter how you look at this, it seems that Pei Yan is doing something bad!"

"I never ask about this kind of thing." Xue Chuyu still answered like this.

"Forget it, I won't say it anymore! These things in the court are not something that we rude warriors can understand." Li Duozuo shook his head and sighed, "It's just a pity that we all have ambitions, but we just hope for a show that will end and everyone will part!"

"He will definitely come back." Xue Chuyu's words were still short, but firm.

Lee Duozuo took a deep breath, "I hope so!"
