Chapter 722: Activate the Old Ministry

There was a hint of unhappiness in Xiao Jinxuan's tone, and Zhou Xianyu actually heard it.

And when he heard that the other party wanted to set rules for the women in the back house of the house, Zhou Xianyu was meaningless about this.

After all, these people were just sent to the palace, and he had no relationship with any of them, and it was rare to see each other on weekdays or even a year.

Even Zhou Xianyu wished that Xiao Jinxuan could help him restrain him, and these women who jumped in front of him from time to time to be an eyesore would give him a clean heart.

Therefore, after thinking about it for a while, Zhou Xianyu instructed the outside world:

"Come on, go and call the white guard chief, and say that this king has come back to look for him and has something to do."

After explaining the matter, Zhou Xianyu also led Xiao Jinxuan into the study first, and explained:

"Changde, you are not familiar with the place of life when you first come to Da Zhou, and your Beirong guards in the team will not arrive until more than a month later. Therefore, I have sent the captain of the guard in my palace to you to protect your safety. After all, once the news of our return is made public, Hou Chen's party will inevitably be afraid of the strength of the 200,000 town ** regiment, and then they will assassinate not only this king, but also you. ”

No matter how deep the misunderstanding was in Daliang at the beginning, how often Zhou Xianyu and Xiao Jinxuan quarrel now.

But I have to say that the two of them are indeed people in the same boat now, and Xiao Jinxuan wants to use the identity of Zhou Xian's princess to gain a foothold in the Great Zhou.

And Zhou Xianyu didn't need the support of the town ** regiment to get a greater voice in the imperial court.

and restrain each other with Xiao Jiajun, so that it is possible to completely suppress Chen Hou's party and clear the other party from the court.

As for Zhou Xianyu's arrangement, Xiao Jinxuan naturally has no objections, after all, she doesn't know the slightest martial arts.

Now that the situation is tense, she understands that only by protecting herself can she better assist Zhou Xianyu and fight against Empress Chen and others.

And then, after Xiao Jinxuan pondered for a while, she also said to Zhou Xianyu:

"Now that the town ** group has not arrived, I am the first time to come to Da Zhou, and I am really powerless to help the prince in the court. But just as Princess Ben just said, I will help you stabilize this palace first. And the news that we came back early, I will definitely not let the details leak out. But the premise of doing these points is that the prince must hand over the power of the inner court of the palace to me in public. As the saying goes, if you are not in your position, you don't seek your government, only if I am in power and convince everyone, then the next thing can be done. ”

Xiao Jinxuan's current identity is not at all worse than Zhou Xianyu, the regent.

She is the identity of Princess Beirong, and she has Xiao Yunyan's strong support behind her.

Therefore, Zhou Xianyu would not despise her, and the two were even more in an alliance and cooperation.

Therefore, handing over all the power in the palace to Xiao Jinxuan, Zhou Xianyu just nodded without hesitation after thinking about it for a while.

"Princess Changde, please rest assured, since I, Zhou Xianyu, have joined forces with you Beirong, and each will take what he needs. Now that you have come to Da Zhou, I will also share my hole card rights with you without reservation. After all, I, Zhou Xianyu, will not borrow your Beirong 200,000 soldiers and horses in vain, your request is within the acceptable range of me, and does not touch the bottom line of this king, then I can assure you that your rights in the Great Zhou will definitely not be restricted. ”

In fact, as soon as Xiao Jinxuan dared to return to Da Zhou, she bluntly asked Zhou Xianyu for power, and she was not worried that the other party would be jealous and suspicious of her.

This all stems from Xiao Jinxuan's understanding of Zhou Xianyu, because she knows very well that the other party and the suspicious Zhou Xianrui are completely different personalities.

Zhou Xianyu is the commander of the conquest and leading the army, and has always believed in the principle of employing people without suspicion and not using suspicious people, and he is also extremely decentralizing and honest with his generals.

After all, if there are too many suspicions and vigilances in an army, it will only be disheartened and self-defeating.

Therefore, in this atmosphere, Zhou Xianyu has also developed the disadvantage of daring to delegate power, and will not be like the late Zhou Xianrui, only when the real power is firmly in his own hands, he will feel safe.

So since Xiao Jinxuan dared to mention it, she was ninety percent sure that Zhou Xianyu would definitely agree, and it was obvious that she was right.

Just when Xiao Jinxuan and Zhou Xianyu continued to discuss other details in the study, a knock on the door suddenly interrupted them.

When Xiao Jinxuan turned to look, a trace of excitement flashed in her eyes, but she quickly covered it up very well.

The reason why she reacted like this was because the person who pushed the door in turned out to be Bai Chu, who she hadn't seen for several years and who had served faithfully under her back then.

And it is obvious that the chief of the white guard mentioned by Zhou Xianyu just now is referring to Bai Chu.

After Zhou Xian's heavy responsibility to protect Xiao Jinxuan was also agreed with Bai Chu, the three of them did not waste time, and immediately rushed to the back house.

Because of the news of Zhou Xianyu's return, it can be hidden from outsiders, but sooner or later it will be known by others in the mansion.

And he also has to follow Xiao Jinxuan's promise, and immediately announce the power of the palace in the future to everyone in public, and introduce the identity of the other princess together.

And Zhou Xianyu strode in the front, and Xiao Jinxuan followed, but deliberately slowed down a little.

After a while, seeing that she was about to walk into the courtyard of the back house, Xiao Jinxuan suddenly frowned slightly, and then said with a hint of discomfort:

"After months of traveling, now that I am finally safe, my mind is relaxed, but I feel very sleepy and uncomfortable. Lord Wang, you take the first step, I will slow down here, and let Bai guard me. After all, you have just returned to the palace, and I am afraid that Lin Qingsui is not the only one among the ladies of the back house who is restless. You go to the bottom first, we know everything in our hearts, so as not to make mistakes negligently. ”

It has been really hard to travel in the past few months, so if Xiao Jinxuan was uncomfortable, Zhou Xianyu didn't suspect it, and after nodding, he also walked forward first.

And Xiao Jinxuan saw that the other party's figure was getting farther and farther away, and immediately her nervous brows not only relaxed, but also evoked a light smile, and looked at Bai Chu with a calm expression.

"Say goodbye in a few years, goodbye now, Bai Chu, you are all right. There are also Su Qi, Zhu Xin and others After I left the Great Zhou, they could be implicated, and whether the old departments were all protected without hindrance. I'm so glad to be back alive and to see you right away. ”

As soon as he heard Xiao Jinxuan's words, Bai Chu, who originally looked indifferent, had a shocked look on his face.

In fact, just now in Zhou Xianyu, I learned the identity of Xiao Jinxuan's Beirong princess, and also took the dignity of the princess and came to the regent palace.

To be honest, Bai Chu, who has always regarded Xiao Jinxuan as the only master, is extremely resistant to Princess Beirong.

even felt that the other party occupied the position of the princess who should have belonged to Xiao Jinxuan, so although he followed Zhou Xianyu's instructions and would definitely take care of the other party's safety, Bai Chu never even showed a smile from beginning to end.

But in the mouth of the princess Beirong, who was very unfamiliar with the country, she actually said the names of Su Qi and Zhuxin very familiarly.

Bai Chu immediately noticed something was wrong, and immediately hesitated with a face full of disbelief, and said in disbelief:

"Who are you, and why do you know so much about my master's affairs. Even Su Qi, who doesn't show up very much and is hidden in the shadows, you know. It's about my master, Princess Changde, you'd better explain it clearly. Otherwise, for the safety of Su Qi and the hidden guards, even if you are the person valued by the prince, I Bai Chu will definitely not tolerate you. ”

Seeing the murderous intent in Bai Chu's eyes when he said this, Xiao Jinxuan smiled helplessly, and then said with emotion:

"Bai Chu, if you ask who the county lord is, then I will also ask you. When I was confined to Zhaoyang Palace, Su Qi once came to me in hiding, and at that time, in order to prevent my own accidents, I ordered him. If I make a mistake, the two of you, including the hidden guards, must be loyal to the Imperial Prince. But now the person you call the master is obviously not the prince, and he still wants to disobey the other party's will and attack the person he relies on. It seems that you and Su Qi didn't plan to follow what I said back then, right? ”

If Xiao Jinxuan's words just now had already made Bai Chu realize something, but he didn't dare to confirm what he believed.

That back then, Xiao Jinxuan gave instructions to Su Qi alone, Bai Chu knew that except for the three of them in the world, even Zhou Xianyu didn't know about it.

Therefore, after Bai Chu recovered from the shock, the dignified seven-foot man was so excited that he burst into tears, and immediately knelt down on one knee in front of Xiao Jinxuan.

Although Bai Chu still can't understand why Xiao Jinxuan changed her appearance and returned to Da Zhou with the respect of Princess Beirong, he will not have any doubts about the identity of the other party.

Therefore, seeing that he took a few deep breaths, which could be regarded as calming down a lot, he immediately said with great respect:

"The master can see you in this life and serve you, Bai Chu can really die without regrets. Back then, it was the uselessness of subordinates and others that put you in danger, and finally fell off the cliff. And your order back then, how dare Su Qi and I disobey it. In the past three years, we have assisted the prince, and we will never dare to have two hearts. It's just that in the eyes of Su Qi and me, we are still carrying out your orders. After all, a loyal servant does not serve the second master. In the hearts of our old ministries. You are the master who has given us a chance, even a second chance. ”

Hearing this, I remembered the hidden guards in the past, who were secretly born and died for her, and the scenes of network intelligence.

Xiao Jinxuan's eyes couldn't help but reddened slightly, and said wistfully:

"Bai Chu, get up quickly, I am fortunate to have you people willing to follow, this is my Xiao Jinxuan's luck. It's just that don't mention the word county lord in the future, I am a descendant of the Beirong royal family, and you know about this matter back then. And now I have recognized my ancestors and returned to my ancestors, and in the name of Changde, I have returned to Da Zhou as a princess. In order to help each other, and to calculate the past pen and grudge in person and Xiangping people. Therefore, my identity cannot be revealed, but if you are loyal to my old department, don't continue to hibernate, it's time to start from scratch completely. ”

If she wants to gain a foothold in Da Zhou, Xiao Jinxuan can't do without Zhou Xianyu's help on the surface, but she must also have a secret force to help her do things.

And back then, a group of loyal hidden guards of the old department. Nature is the best option.

Xiao Jinxuan, who began to walk forward and continued to walk, said again after the arrival:

"Remember to inform Su Qi and tell him to come to see me at the right time and without alarming anyone. I have some things that he needs to do himself. Now that I'm back, it's time to send Ji Lingfeng, Xiangping, Empress Chen and others a long-lost reunion gift. ”
