In Meng's mansion, the corpses of the dead all over the ground made the dinner end early, Xiao Rui could talk without changing his face and drink happily, but others couldn't.

Look at Meng Tianhai, he is already retching.

It just so happened that Meng Tiannan wanted to create an opportunity for Xiao Rui to have tea with Fang Xuanling alone.

In the quiet tea room, Xiao Rui made tea himself, Fang Xuanling didn't dare to bear it, but he was dispelled by Xiao Rui's words.

"Mr. Fang is not a common person of Great Xia, and the relationship between him and the palace is naturally not a monarch-people, so there is no need to worry about those rules. And I am young and belong to the younger generation, so this tea should naturally be brewed by me. ”

Fang Xuanling smiled and nodded, knowing that this was the attitude of Corporal Xiao Rui Lixian, and his heart was very moved.

After the fragrant tea was brewed, Xiao Rui stretched out his hand and signaled: "Sir, please use tea!" ”

Fang Xuanling took a sip of it, and suddenly felt fragrant, and exclaimed: "This tea tastes naturally sweet, with a long aftertaste, good tea!" ”

Xiao Rui smiled: "If you like it, Sir, this palace will order someone to bring you some." By the way, sir, do you have any other plans after this trip to Great Xia? ”

Fang Xuanling put down the teacup and did not immediately answer Xiao Rui's question, but asked rhetorically: "His Royal Highness the Prince, does today's assassination have anything to do with Zaixia?" ”

Fang Xuanling is good at planning and thoughtful, so he may not have cared at first, but after tonight's events, Fang Xuanling found that he would come to Great Xia because he was hinted at, and he seemed to have become a pawn.

Xiao Rui didn't hide it, so he told Huang Qilin's interlocking conspiracy, and said casually: "The assassination tonight has nothing to do with Mr. Fang, it was Huang Qilin who took advantage of the palace's eagerness to seek talent, without Mr. Fang, there will be Mr. Zhang and Mr. Li. ”

"This person has a great mind, if he can benefit the community wholeheartedly, he will be a pillar, it's a pity!" After Fang Xuanling sighed, he said: "Although His Highness doesn't care, but this matter is indeed caused by the old man, fortunately, His Highness has insight into everything, so he didn't let the assassin succeed and make a big mistake!" Otherwise, it will be difficult to make up for Fang's death. ”

Speaking of this, Fang Xuanling exclaimed: "His Royal Highness Jiuwen is resourceful and has insight into everything, it is better to meet than to be famous today." ”

"Haha, let Mr. see it, I only noticed it in advance, and then laid it out in advance. Otherwise, my life will be closed tonight. By the way, Mr. has come all the way, what do you think of the construction of the 14 states of Anxi? Zhang Liang is a festival envoy and was ordered to govern the fourteen states, and he can be regarded as pressing his fate in the past two years. Xiao Rui asked.

Fang Xuanling did not hesitate to praise, and said: "Zhang Jiedu is not only outstanding, but also loves the people like a son, although he is a feudal official, but he took the lead in doing it himself, and in just over two years, he managed in an orderly manner, and stabilized the people's hearts, on the other hand, west of the Qijiang River, the old land of Zhao occupied by the Qin State is not as good as two or three out of ten. Seeing that the people of Zhao State lived a healthy, happy and happy life, and were proud of the people of Daxia, Fang was not only happy, but also felt that his cheeks were dry, and he was ashamed of his self-righteous dedication to the people when he was a courtier of Zhao State. ”

In the end, Fang Xuanling looked stunned.

In the past, he was the secretary of the household department of Zhao State and participated in political affairs, but the people lived in dire straits, and he was also an official, and his former official position was too embarrassing.

Xiao Rui comforted: "Sir's words are serious, you have done your best, and it is not the business of one or several officials to benefit the people, but from the country." If the monarch is mediocre, even if the courtiers sacrifice their lives, the monarch will not appreciate it, so many depressed Qing officials choose to retire. ”

"I'm depressed... Yes, isn't it precisely to serve the country and show our ambitions by studying the books of the sages and sages? And there is no way to repay, and there is no way to perform, which is the most painful. Fang Xuanling said with emotion.

Xiao Rui took the opportunity to ask, "Is that gentleman willing to stay in Great Xia?" Would you like to help Hongu? This palace can guarantee that Daxia will never repeat the mistakes of Zhao Guo, and will let Mr. show his ambitions and not sigh for the rest of his life. The Hongu can now promise to invite Mr. Cabinet as a member of the Cabinet and a secretary of the household department! ”

Fang Xuanling's face was shocked.

He knew that Xiao Rui was wooing himself, but he didn't expect Xu to have such a big official position!

The cabinet scholar and the head of the household department is the top official position in the Great Xia Dynasty, and it is even more prominent than when he participated in the governor's affairs, after all, although he participated in the governor's affairs back then, he was only a governor, and there were other officials who also participated in the governor's affairs, and there were also left and right ministers.

The system of Daxia is different from that of Zhao State, and the content of cabinet scholars and household department scholars is too heavy.

Fang Xuanling was moved, and said with a smile: "Fang Mou came all the way, not only saw the well-being of the people, but also heard that there are many honest officials, there is no shortage of good officials and clean officials in Daxia, just as His Royal Highness said, the saint is enlightened, and good officials will serve themselves, why does His Highness want to keep me, a minister who has died in the country, and give me such a heavy responsibility, Fang Mou is ashamed and dare not be, and he is afraid of provoking criticism from the government and the opposition." ”

"As Mr. said, this palace also believes that there will be no shortage of good officials in Great Xia in the future, but this palace does not want to focus on the future, but on the present. Mr. has the talent to govern the country, and can work for the benefit of the Great Xia Society, if the palace misses Mr., it is a regrettable act. As for the criticism of the government and the opposition, hum... This palace is meritocracy, they don't have the ability to dare to criticize, who gave them the guts? Xiao Rui said solemnly.

Fang Xuanling sighed and said, "Your Highness..."

Before he could speak, Xiao Rui interrupted him: "Sir, I'm sorry to interrupt you, but please listen to one more thing: Since Mr. has the world in mind and has the talent to help the world, if he retires from the market in this life, is he worthy of his own heart?" I don't threaten Mr. with the righteousness of the world and the blessings of the common people, I just want to ask you: Can you really live up to your heart? ”

Can you be worthy of your heart?

Fang Xuanling fell into deep thought.

Xiao Rui got up and said, "It's not early, Mr. rest early." This palace very much hopes to have the assistance of Mr., to establish a heart for heaven and earth, a life for the people, and peace for all generations! The monarchs and ministers will work together to govern the world, and in the future, Daxia will unify Shenzhou, so as to live up to Mr. Wang's lofty ambitions. ”

With that, Xiao Rui bowed deeply and left the tearoom.

Fang Xuanling got up and raised his hand, but the words stopped when they came to his mouth.

Xiao Rui's trust, respect, and sincerity made him unable to refute it. Especially the rhetorical question, if you leave and retire to the countryside, can you really be worthy of your heart?

What's more, His Royal Highness made a great wish, like thunder, deafening and deafening, so that he could be empowered.

Set your heart for the world!

Make a life for the people!

Open peace for all generations!

This chaotic world has begun, wars, floods, droughts, locust plagues, bitter cold, and scorching heat.....

Who can turn the tide in the world?

Only those with great ambitions!

.......

After Xiao Rui left the Meng Mansion, Wang Dazhi, who had been waiting for a long time, said respectfully: "Your Highness, the slave has captured Huang Qilin alive, does Your Highness want to meet him?" ”

Xiao Rui originally wanted to see him, but then he thought about it, forget it.

"Leave it to Dongchang, tell Wei Zhongxian, it would be better if you could try out useful things, and if you can't try it, you should be locked up first." Xiao Rui said.

"The slave understands." Wang Dazhi led the order to retreat.

Then Xiao Rui said to Li Yuanfang: "Flying Eagle sent a message and told Li Cunxiao to act according to the plan!" ”

"Yes!" Li Yuanfang responded.

Catching Huang Qilin also counted Xiao Rui's thoughts, and the only restless factor in Kyoto was King Ruyang. As for the others, it is no longer worth Xiao Rui's direct gaze.

The next day, Xiao Rui specially asked His Majesty's opinion, and His Majesty didn't care about Huang Qilin's life and death, and let Xiao Rui make his own decisions.

In the afternoon, Wei Zhongxian entered the palace to see Xiao Rui, and Xiao Rui summoned him.

"Your Highness, Huang Qilin has a hard mouth, he would rather die than recruit, and the slave and maid dare not use heavy punishment, for fear of killing him. But he said he wanted to see His Highness and wanted to make a deal! Wei Zhongxian said respectfully.

Xiao Rui didn't want to see Huang Qilin, so he asked Dongchang to interrogate, but with Dongchang's methods, were you afraid that he wouldn't recruit him? I didn't expect him to be really tough enough, and he would rather die.

Now Ashikaga Nobita is still in his hands, and he still has other secrets in his hands, so it's good to see him.

So Xiao Rui moved to the East Factory and met Huang Qilin on death row.

"This time it's supposed to be the deity." Xiao Rui stood outside the prison and asked with a smile.

Huang Qilin was tortured all night, and he reluctantly stood up uncomfortably, spread his arms, shook his ragged sleeves, and said with a smile: "Similar people in the world are hard to find, and it is already a great luck to find a stand-in, which is equivalent to living one more time, how can you be so lucky to find another one?" ”

"Hongu thinks you're lucky to have found not only a stand-in for yourself, but also Yumi Ashikaga! Nobita Ashikaga was also advised to let her come to Obtrita. Xiao Rui smiled.

Huang Qilin raised his eyebrows and sighed: "You actually know! ”

Xiao Rui said: "If people don't know, they can't do it unless they do." ”

Huang Qilin nodded and continued: "Ashikaga Yumi's entry into the palace is abrupt, and you should be vigilant. But the old man thought about it all night, and he never thought of how you could have guessed that I would assassinate you! The old man's self-proclaimed design is seamless, in order to hint that Fang Xuanling came to Daxia, I tried my best, how could I expose the stuffing? In addition, how could the dead soldiers of the Qin State defect to the battle? ”

"I'm not in the mood to explain to you, this palace is busy, it's all a national event. Say, what deal are you going to negotiate? If you can't reach the satisfaction of this palace, this deal is not so easy to achieve! Xiao Rui smiled.

Huang Qilin sighed and said, "I beg Your Highness to spare King Duan's life, and I can tell Your Highness Ashikaga Nobita's hiding place, as well as my layout in the Qin State, as well as the evidence of the powerful and powerful crimes in my hand!" ”

Xiao Rui shook his head and said: "Cutting the grass does not remove the roots, the spring breeze blows and grows, you understand this truth better than me, do you think I can spare Xiao Feng?" I'm not afraid to tell you, I've already sent a message to Li Cunxiao and asked him to find an opportunity to do it. ”

"You are not afraid that Your Majesty will ask you for the guilt" Huang Qilin's heart trembled and immediately asked.

The prince in front of him finally overcame his weaknesses and shortcomings and began to become invulnerable.

Xiao Rui smiled: "As long as Your Majesty has no evidence, he will not move the palace." Why did the king of Chu die? Didn't you think about it in your heart, Your Majesty? Xiao Feng's first killer can't be blamed on others. ”

Huang Qilin pleaded: "Is there really no room for it? ”

Xiao Rui shook his head.
