Inside the Hall of Flying Feathers

Xiang Hongxuan gently put down the paintbrush in his hand, he carefully looked at his paintings, and a smile inadvertently leaked from his face. Xiang Hongxi slowly walked into the hall, he saw Xiang Hongxuan was looking at the paintings on the desk intently, I don't know where Xiang Hongxuan found the peerless paintings, probably in the proud appreciation.

"Brother Chen, meet Your Majesty." Xiang Hongxi knelt behind Xiang Hongxuan in an orderly manner.

"Lao Jiu, come over and see how my painting is." Xiang Hongxuan said without looking back, his eyes kept staring at the painting on the desk, as if it was a peerless treasure.

Xiang Hongxi couldn't help but be interested in this painting, which famous artist could make Xiang Hongxuan so obsessed, he took a closer look, and saw that the painting was a young man in white, covering his face with a fan. Only then did he realize that this was not the young lady who dressed as a man on the day of the Shangyuan Festival. He took a closer look at the painting style of this portrait, this is from Xiang Hongxuan's handwriting, looking at this posture, Xiang Hongxuan is still thinking about the young lady who played him that night, is he going to find a beautiful woman? Obviously, that night's Yuan Festival, that is, King Xiang was intentional, and the goddess was ruthless, Xiang Hongxi couldn't help but sigh that his royal brother was really persistent, and everyone was so slapped in the face, and he was still worried about others.

"Brother Huang's penmanship is getting more and more sophisticated." Xiang Hongxi said complimentally.

"Don't shoot me on the back, I heard that you know everything about the ladies of all the families in Yicheng, so tell me about me, which lady will be the daughter of the house who dresses as a man on the Shangyuan Festival that day?"

Xiang Hongxi's face couldn't help but smile bitterly, he was a merry prince, and he did pay more attention to the young lady of the family in Yicheng, but he was not a fairy, the woman on the night of the Shangyuan Festival, he didn't even see his face clearly, how could he know who it was?

"Brother Huang, I have also heard a little about the ladies of the family in Yicheng, how can I have seen these ladies, and these ladies of the family usually do not have contact with foreign men, how can I know who the young lady of that night is."

Xiang Hongxi looked at Xiang Hongxuan's slightly ugly face again, he knew that Xiang Hongxuan was afraid that he would be unhappy, if he couldn't give Xiang Hongxuan a reasonable explanation, it was estimated that Xiang Hongxuan would be embarrassed by himself.

"But the young lady that night dared to be so bold and dressed as a man, it really doesn't look like a family lady, the family ladies in Yicheng are famous for their dignified elegance, I haven't heard of anyone who has such a bold female son, maybe the woman that night is the daughter of the foreign official's family, and the Shangyuan Festival is just back to Yicheng to enjoy the lanterns."

Xiang Hongxuan also felt that Xiang Hongxi's words had some truth, most of the ladies of the family in Yicheng had dealings with the harem, and I had never heard of anyone having such a naughty daughter-in-law, if she wanted to say that she was not a woman from a family, but that night the woman had a noble atmosphere, and her knowledge and conversation were also like the daughter of a family, and it was possible to say that it was a daughter of an official family.

"It doesn't seem that there are many officials in Dongyu Kingdom, so it won't be difficult to find it carefully." Xiang Hongxuan said tentatively.

"Brother Huang, there are a lot of officials who are released, and if this official is in the place, there are them in all directions, and the younger brother is familiar with Yicheng, and when he goes out of Yicheng, his younger brother is a person who doesn't know anything, and it will definitely be difficult to find."

At this moment, Xiang Hongxi wants to die, how many people are there in Jingguan, it is not easy to find such a little woman, Xiang Hongxuan actually asked him to find this woman from the house of the official, that is, looking for a needle in a haystack, unless he is a god, otherwise this is an impossible task.

"I asked you to do something, and you just pushed back like this, is it that I am usually too tolerant of you, so that you are not afraid of the majesty of the emperor. I'll leave this matter to you, if you can't do it well, don't blame me for being unsympathetic. When the time comes, I will make your one-word king a two-word king, and after you say your title, what word would I add to you, Duanshui? End basin? Xiang Hongxuan said solemnly, and from time to time his hand gently patted Xiang Hongxi's shoulder.

Xiang Hongxi was shocked in his heart, he understood that no matter how difficult this thing was, he had to do it. Xiang Hongxuan is determined to find the woman that night, even if he is looking for a needle in a haystack, he has to go to the sea to catch it, otherwise Xiang Hongxuan may really make him the king of two characters. It is not the most shameful for the prince to become the king of the county, if he becomes the prince with the worst title in Dongyu Kingdom. What end of the water king? Duanpen King? Then he really has no face to see people, thinking of this, Xiang Hongxi, who looks sad, can only receive the order and thank him.

While speaking, Yan Qing walked into the inner hall, Xiang Hongxi left the Feiyu Hall with interest, he knew the major affairs of the country, Xiang Hongxuan would not let him get involved, let alone entrust him with important tasks, only this kind of thing that could not be put on the table and was very difficult to do, Xiang Hongxuan would think of him, he was an idle and unsafe prince in his life.

Yan Qing in the hall looked like a dusty man, and saw him quickly take out the piece in his arms and respectfully present it to Xiang Hongxuan. Xiang Hongxuan opened it and saw that this was a secret piece of the Xihua border. Originally, he planned to send Wang Bo, Jiang Yong and Ye Muzhi to the Xihua border to guard the three families, and then select other suitable children of the family to the other three border towns after a while, but a few days ago, Liu Sheng actually transferred his lieutenants to the three towns to guard, and took over the soldiers of the three towns. Liu Sheng did this, just because he was worried about releasing his military power to Hongxuan, but in this case, it would be difficult to do, and if Xiang Hongxuan wanted to transfer the generals to the border town in the future, it would be difficult to take charge of the soldiers in the border town.

Xiang Hongxuan threw the song aside with some displeasure, just now he was still fantasizing about what the woman on the night of the Shangyuan Festival looked like, especially after Xiang Hongxi had already received the order to find the woman, Xiang Hongxuan's heart was full of thoughts. What if he could find the woman that night? Bet on her one more guess, or let her see the dignity of his emperor, and punish her slightly, although he hasn't thought about it yet, but he knows that he wants to find her. It's a pity that this good mood was broken up by Yan Qing's recital, and Xiang Hongxuan didn't have the heart to think about the woman that night anymore, he began to pace in the inner hall thoughtfully.

"Your Majesty, General Liu Sheng is the national ruler after all, and he has been guarding the border for many years, and it is indeed difficult to replace him easily. Moreover, General Liu Sheng has also fought on the battlefield for the first emperor and His Majesty for many years, and there is no merit and hard work, so the release of his military power will also make General Liu Sheng chill, but fortunately, the troops of the three towns on the Xihua border have been released by the new generals, and the matter of military power can only be slowly drawn in the future. ”

Yan Qing tactfully admonished Xiang Hongxuan, in fact, he had expected that this would be the end, Xiang Hongxuan's plan was not bad, but Jiang was still very old, no matter how legitimate Xiang Hongxuan was, or how much favor he gave to Wang's relatives, Liu Sheng could not let the military power in his hands be released a little bit, and it was already very good to be able to fight for the current situation, now the war on the Xihua border is unclear, whether to fight or not, Liu Sheng, the coach, is very important, and he can only take one step at a time.

"Guozhang? So Liu Sheng can be disobedient? Xiang Hongxuan said unhappily.

"Your Majesty, if you can't bear it, you will make a big plan, Your Majesty will garrison the Xihua border, and if you want to deter the Xihua Kingdom by force, you can't have a dislike with General Liu Sheng, otherwise the war will be unfavorable to the unity of the Dongyu Kingdom."

"So the teacher thinks that if Liu Sheng is allowed like this, he will be able to fight a good war for me with all his heart? In case he has the idea that he shouldn't be born, the troops of the other three towns are afraid that they will become cannon fodder. ”

Xiang Hongxuan was a little worried, he was worried that Liu Sheng did not hesitate to make a mistake on the battlefield in order to control the Xihua army, and it was not impossible for this kind of thing to take advantage of the war to calamity his colleagues to seize military power.

"Your Majesty, even so, as long as this battle can be won, Nanxi Kingdom will be broken soon, if it loses, it will be a loss to Mrs. and a soldier, even if Nanxi Kingdom is so weak that no one will defend the city, Your Majesty has no hope of dividing Nanxi into the territory of Dongyu Kingdom."

Yan Qing's words hit the nail on the head, no matter how much Xiang Hongxuan wanted to release Liu Sheng's military power, but if the Xihua battlefield was defeated, Dongyu would have to spend a lot of energy to deal with Xihua, not to mention that Nanxi could be destroyed, Xihua would become an eternal threat to Dongyu, which would make it difficult for Dongyu to move forward in the future. Yan Qing knew that his words would displease Xiang Hongxuan, but he still had to let this young and vigorous emperor think about which was more important.

Xiang Hongxuan also knew that Yan Qing's words were right, he waved his hand helplessly, and Yan Qing withdrew from the Flying Feather Hall in a knowing interest. Xiang Hongxuan kept pacing in the inner hall, he had to win this battle, but he also wanted Liu Sheng's military power, otherwise if Liu Sheng won the Xihua War again, I am afraid that even if there is no relative Wang in the future, and this cousin Liu, it will keep him awake at night. Thinking about it, Xiang Hongxuan felt that Liu Sheng wanted him to use it, but he had to knock it so that Liu Sheng could fight for him well. But the problem is that Liu Sheng has the identity of the national abbot, and there are relatives of the Wang family behind him, this excuse is not easy to find, Xiang Hongxuan began to be a little embarrassed, and suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind.

"Xiao Dezi, you said that if the queen is not the queen, what will happen to Liu Sheng?"

Xiang Hongxuan turned around and asked Xiao Dezi, the servant who served him on the side, Xiao Dezi was a little confused by Xiang Hongxuan's question.

"If the queen is not the queen, then the prince of the country will not be the queen of the country." Xiao Dezi replied without thinking.

As soon as Xiang Hongxuan heard Xiao Dezi's words, a smile immediately leaked from his face, and he looked at Xiao Dezi with satisfaction.

"It's the best thing you've ever said in your life."

Xiao Dezi looked dazed, could he be wrong? He didn't dare to think about it, and when he saw Xiang Hongxuan walking outside the hall, he hurriedly followed Xiang Hongxuan.

"Let's go, drive to the Jiaofang Palace." Xiang Hongxuan said excitedly.
