Yao Tingyu didn't say any nonsense, and directly pointed out the meaning.

When Xiao Yuan heard this, he also smiled heartily and said:

"Well, although this king has not met with King Xuan, he has also heard that King Xuan is a virtuous king, and Qin and Xuan can establish diplomatic relations, which is also mutually beneficial for the two countries."

Hearing this, Yao Tingyu immediately said loudly: "Your Highness is wise, and this is exactly what my king intended." ”

No matter what Xiao Yuan thought in his heart, but on the face, whoever wants to have friendly relations with him in the world, he will not refuse.

As the so-called weak country has no diplomacy, who would pay attention to the previous Qin and the kings, but now, after the destruction of the Jin Dynasty, it has represented the strong rise of the weak Qin.

The king of the world, I am afraid that no one dares to underestimate the king of Qin again.

After talking with Yao Tingyu again, Xiao Yuan also began to say:

"Xiangbang has been tired all the way, and at noon today, this king will hold a banquet in the palace to catch the wind and wash the dust for you, so as to get tired."

"Ah, His Royal Highness King Qin is so kindly invited, how dare you refuse." Yao Tingyu didn't mean to be polite at all.

Xiao Yuan smiled heartily again, and then stood up: "Today's banquet, Zhongqing and Lonely go together. ”

"Your Ministers obey—" the people said in unison.

At the banquet that day, the atmosphere was still relatively good, during the banquet, everyone pushed the cup and changed the lamp, and they all drank with ruddy faces, Xiao Yuan did not snub Xuanxiang, and drank with him from time to time, giving the proper etiquette.

After the banquet, Yao Tingyu was arranged, and Xiao Yuan was also a little dizzy, so he went back to Gu Xue's dormitory, preparing to take a lunch break here.

As soon as he entered, he lay down on the bed and exhaled a little tiredly.

"Drink so much wine." Gu Xue complained and said distressedly, and began to gently press his head for him.

"It's better to be a lady." He rested on her lap and closed his eyes comfortably.

"You'll say, don't drink like that in the future." Gu Xue gave him a charming look.

"Xue'er doesn't know, that Xuan Xiang Yao Tingyu has a smile on his face, but in fact, he is high-sounding and shameless."

Hearing this, Gu Xue couldn't help but sneer, "How can people offend you." ”

Her fingers were gentle, and she continued to gently press Xiao Yuan's head.

The latter said: "Xuanguo has calculated the great trouble of my henchmen, and I will give it as a gift, Xuanxiang is here, and the implication is that Qin should not mind the treasury of the Jin State." ”

"What does the husband think?"

"So much gold and silver, enough to enrich the country, King Xuan got it for nothing with his vicious schemes, how can I not mind, but I have to agree to Xuan Xiang." Xiao Yuan said helplessly.

"Oh, in this way, husband, that King Xuan, there are some means." Gu Xuedao.

"Don't talk about it, it's infuriating."

Xiao Yuan interrupted the topic, and then gently held her little hand, "Is Madam tired?" ”

Gu Xue shook her head slightly.

This daughter-in-law is gentle and understanding, Xiao Yuan is here with her, and it is also the most relaxed and the most troublesome.

The next day, after meeting with Yao Tingyu again, the latter did not stay long, began to bid farewell to Xiao Yuan, and returned to Xuanguo.

At the same time, the soldiers who participated in the battle of attacking Jin also received military merits and returned to their hometowns, which was equivalent to a vacation.

A few days later, Chen Zhongshu, the summoned man of Zitong County, hurried back to the capital.

At this time, in fact, he didn't know what the king was calling him back to, he was dusty all the way, and after arriving in Qinzhou, he didn't dare to delay for a moment, tidied up at the inn, and went to the palace.

However, at the palace gate, there were already people waiting for him.

The person waiting for him was none other than Yan Ming, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites.

After the two met, Chen Zhongshu hurriedly stepped forward and bowed his hand and said, "Brother Yan." ”

"Brother Chen." The latter returned the salute, then stopped talking nonsense, and said directly: "This time the king summoned you back to the capital, Brother Chen knows that eighty percent of it has something to do with the matter of Guiyang County Shou." ”

"What?"

Hearing this, Chen Zhongshu was immediately startled, and his mood immediately became nervous, and he couldn't help but say: "I'm unprepared for this, this, what can I do." ”

"I only heard some news today, and I didn't have time to inform you, so I'm waiting here to let you know about it." Yan Ming said.

I see. Chen Zhongshu nodded, and said: "Presumably, it must be Brother Yan who recommended it to the king, and he will not thank you for his great kindness." ”

"No, no, no, I just mentioned Brother Chen's name, and the real decision is still in the king."

Yan Ming said, and urged: "Brother Chen, enter the palace quickly, remember, the king is not an ordinary person, what you should say, just say anything, don't care about him, what the king cares about is whether you are competent for the position of county guard, and the rest is not important." ”

As a courtier, Yan Ming had some understanding of his master.

When Chen Zhongshu heard this, he knew it in his heart, and bowed his hand again: "Thank you, Brother Yan." ”

"With Brother Chen's talent, he is qualified to be the county guard of Guiyang, and I also believe that the king can discern talents, go quickly."

Although Yan Ming and him have been friends for many years, they are sincere officials, and from his words, it is not difficult to see that Chen Zhongshu is not a mediocre talent.

There was no doubt that this was a meeting between the monarch and the courtiers related to Chen Zhongshu's future, and after being led to the palace study by the eunuchs, he became more and more nervous.

As soon as he came in, he lowered his waist, stepped forward quickly, and then knelt on the ground, put his hands on the side of his head, pouted his buttocks, and said in a trembling voice: "Minister, Zitong County Cheng Chen Zhongshu, see the king——"

"Aiqing is flat." Xiao Yuan's voice was very peaceful.

"King Xie—" Chen Zhongshu shouted again, and after getting up, he bowed slightly and stood there respectfully.

Xiao Yuan looked at him again, a middle-aged civil official, with an ordinary appearance and an excellent beard.

After looking at it, he first groaned for a while, and then said, "Lord Chen, do you know why this king summoned you back to the capital. ”

Hearing this, Chen Zhongshu thought about it carefully, and returned truthfully: "Back to the king, I didn't know when the minister came, but I just heard Yan Shangshu say that it seems to be related to the Guiyang county guard." ”

"Then you can do it." Xiao Yuan asked directly.

Chen Zhongshu immediately replied: "Of course, if the king appoints him, the minister has absolute confidence that he can govern Guiyang well. ”

"How is it governed?"

Chen Zhongshu said: "In a place that you don't understand, you should first sort out the books, inspect the county, past political affairs, and then understand the place in person, observe the people's feelings, discuss the disadvantages of the existing people's livelihood with the county officials, and then, in the most effective way, implement the rule of Qin, strictly enforce the law, and unify the government decrees of our country." ”

Seeing that he swore so much, Xiao Yuan smiled slightly and said:

"Lord Chen said it well, but as an official, a firm position is the most important thing."

"Some officials in my country think that if they don't make mistakes, they don't make progress, and they get by all day long, which is to protect themselves with wisdom, but in fact, mediocrity, how different from greed, in the eyes of this king, is even more terrible than greed."

"If an official can't care about the country's social affairs and the people's affairs, no matter how capable he is, he will not have a way back."

"Be an official, be a good official, only if you benefit the people, the people will praise you, and the country can need you ......"

He said this in a row, and after Chen Zhongshu heard it, he hurriedly knelt on the ground again, and said in a trembling voice:

"Minister, you must remember the king's teachings, and be diligent in self-denial throughout your life......"
