"Do you have anything to do?"

Xiao Yuan looked around again, and after a pause, seeing that no one answered, he also stood up directly:

"Then let's retreat."

As he spoke, he also stepped down from the throne, dressed in royal robes, wearing a royal crown, and nine strings of jade beads on his forehead, and walked away.

"Greetings to the king—" Everyone bowed in unison.

After he left, people also went out of the court hall, and went to the palace in twos and threes, along the way, they were naturally talking to each other, all discussing something in a whisper.

Some officials gathered together and said as they walked: "Today's court meeting, Lord Yan Mingyan, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, has obvious intentions, and so strongly recommends the officials in Shuzhong, just to want to have more say in politics, no wonder Lord Zheng refutes his opinion." ”

"Yes, in this way, it is really unfavorable for my Qinzhou department." Another official said.

Historically, the division of the court and factions has been inevitable.

However, it depends on the power of the monarch above, and if it is handled well, not only will nothing happen, but it will also make the court more balanced and the regime more stable.

And listening to the whispers of everyone, Shangguan Wenruo smiled slightly and said, "Today's court discussion is so lively, why don't you see the prime minister speak?" ”

He walked with Liu Yuzhi, who also smiled when he heard this, and said: "This kind of thing, it's better to be silent." ”

"Lord Liu is like this, he really lost what the prime minister did, as a minister of the Pillar Kingdom, he should share his worries for the king." Shangguan Wenruo said.

"Huh? Lord Shangguan is serious, the king has always known people and is good at his duties, so why do you need to say more about recommending officials. Liu Yuzhi said, and said:

"But then again, some people are doing something about the Sichuan and Shu systems and the Qinzhou system, Lord Shangguan thinks that the king doesn't understand? I'm afraid that your heart is like a mirror. ”

"Makes sense, makes sense." Shangguan Wenruo nodded with a smile.

The two of them were chatting, but a small episode suddenly appeared next to them, which couldn't help but make the two of them look sideways slightly.

Not far away, for some reason, it seems that Shaofu Jiang Yi and Liu Changqing had a dispute.

I saw Liu Changqing said with mockery: "Corrupt officials and flatterers, I am really ashamed to be with them!" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he snorted even more coldly and walked away directly.

"You! You! Jiang Yi's nose was almost crooked, but Liu Changqing had left, and he had no choice but to say to another official beside him: "Lord Wei, look at this Liu Changqing!" I asked myself if I had never offended him, how could it be true! ”

"Master Jiang is angry, Liu Changqing has always been like this, his speech is ugly, he is very annoying, why should he be like him." The official reassured.

The ministers of the Qin State are actually very interesting.

is like Liu Changqing and Jiang Yi, the former is an honest official, only admits death, and I don't know how many times he has held official documents and bamboo slips, blocking Xiao Yuan's road everywhere.

Jiang Yi likes to slip around and shoot horses, is good at observing words and feelings, and follows the king's wishes.

An official who likes to offend people, and an official who is left and right, come together, it's no wonder that there is no dispute!

The study of the royal palace.

The official was still kneeling below.

Xiao Yuan unfolded the official file, checked it, and said at the same time: "Lord Zhou, don't kneel anymore, just retreat if you have nothing to do." ”

"Yes, Weichen retired." The latter hurriedly answered, and then respectfully withdrew.

The official dossier, which contains detailed records of the official's achievements and origins, can shed some light on some issues, but not all.

Xiao Yuan will not determine the position of Guiyang County Warden because of this.

This is just a side reference, in the volume, there are many people with better political achievements than Chen Zhongshu, but after Xiao Yuan read them one by one, he finally decided to recall this Chen Zhongshu to the capital and meet him.

Chen Zhongshu is currently the head of Zitong County, and he has experience in governing the county, which is very crucial.

And he has also made a county order, and he can rise up, which shows his talent.

The candidate for the county guard needs to be carefully examined, and after thinking for a while, Xiao Yuan immediately wrote a warrant, which was passed to Zitong.

Two days later, Yao Tingyu, the prime minister of Xuanguo, arrived in Qinzhou.

He came with a guard of honor for the envoy, so the passage was relatively smooth, and the news naturally had already been transmitted back to the Qin court, so Xiao Yuan asked Liu Yuzhi to greet him on his behalf.

Yao Tingyu arrived in Qinzhou near evening, so he was arranged to stay in the Qindu Post House on the first day, and on the morning of the second day, he was announced to the court hall and met Xiao Yuan.

At this time, in the main hall, the ministers of the Qin State had already been ranked on both sides, Xiao Yuan was also on the throne, Yao Tingyu was dressed in the official uniform of the prime minister of Xuanguo, and after coming in, all the ministers naturally looked sideways.

The latter was smiling all over his face, bowed his head slightly to the people, and then walked to the center of the main hall, first put a delicate brocade box on the ground, and then bowed his hand, bent down and bowed deeply:

"Foreign envoy Yao Tingyu has met His Royal Highness the King of Qin."

At that time, envoys of nations generally did not bow down when they met the monarchs of other countries, except for small countries.

Yao Tingyu's etiquette is standard, neither humble nor arrogant, and it can be said that it is very in place.

"You don't have to be polite." Xiao Yuan also stretched out his hand slightly.

"Your Highness." Yao Tingyu straightened up, then picked up the brocade box, raised his hands and said, "This is a gift from my king to His Royal Highness, and please take a look at Your Highness." ”

"Oh?" Xiao Yuan raised his eyebrows, and then gestured to the attendant.

The latter understood, stepped forward to take the brocade box, and then respectfully placed it on the Wang case.

This is brought by Prime Minister Xuanguo personally, naturally there will be no problems, and if King Xuan dares to make trouble in the brocade box, it will be too stupid!

Therefore, Xiao Yuan didn't say anything, but directly reached out and opened it.

Inside the brocade box, there is a human head, with a pale face, and round eyes, looking dead, if it weren't for the cold weather now, I'm afraid it would have stinked a long time ago!

Suddenly seeing such a thing, as long as it is a human being, he will subconsciously tense his nerves, and Xiao Yuan is no exception, but his face is not turbulent, and after a pause, he chuckled and said:

"King Xuan is such a big gift!"

Seeing that his face did not change, Yao Tingyu couldn't help nodding secretly, and then arched his hand and said: "This is the head of the King of Jin, my king knows that His Royal Highness is in urgent need, so he will send it thousands of miles." ”

As soon as he said this, the ministers of the Qin State in the palace were also taken aback.

"What? King Jin's Head ......"

"Didn't this King Xuan keep saying that he would answer King Jin......"

People whispered, but Xiao Yuan coughed lightly, closed the brocade box and said, "In this way, the Jin royal family has been executed." ”

"Of course, I don't know if His Highness is satisfied." Yao Tingyu was concise and to the point.

Just like what he analyzed to King Xuan, after Xiao Yuan destroyed Jin, he really wanted to see the head of King Jin the most, because this was a hidden danger for him.

Now listening to what Yao Tingyu said, he also smiled faintly: "King Xuan is really a good means, Xiangbang is here, not just for this matter." ”

"As Your Highness said, I am here to give gifts to my king, and secondly, to represent my country and to be friendly with your country forever."
