If you want to say where the most prosperous place in Dahan is, it is naturally the capital. Yuan Ji was riding a Hun pony and galloping to the capital, as early as five days ago, Yuan Ji learned the news of Li Guang's serious injury, and did not dare to slack off, any news about the Li family, Emperor Hui Liu Ying must know. In the Tai'an Palace, Liu Ying depressedly dropped the chapter and wanted the eunuch to pass Cao Shen to discuss, but was stopped by Empress Lu.

"Emperor, you don't need to alarm Prime Minister Cao Cheng to come, just let Cao Shen bring someone to greet him, it is a plan to kill two birds with one stone." There was not a trace of ripples between Empress Lu's words. "Killing two birds with one stone? If Cao Shen is really willing to do that, why not, but Cao Shen is afraid that he doesn't have the courage, alas. "When Zhang Liang went (Zhang Liang died in 186 BC), he left a message---- Wu Wei is in troubled times, Li Er's doctrine is to rule by Wu Wei, and the Li family in Longxi is a big trouble for me. If the Li family is not removed, the country is unstable! Liu Ying's eyes seemed to be closed, but she was not talking to Empress Lu, but she muttered to herself in her heart, after all, it was inappropriate for women to think about it.

"Your Majesty, Longxi is engaged in (the capital official is engaged in) Yuan Ji has something to do."

"Biography!" Although Liu Ying is calm and calm, she still hopes that Yuan Ji can bring good news.

"No!" The eunuch slowly withdrew from the main hall to pass Yuan Ji. Lu Houhu looked suspiciously outside the hall, and after seeing the eunuch whispering a few words in Yuan Ji's ear, Yuan Ji nodded and agreed. Turning his head to Liu Ying, Liu Ying had already noticed it, but he didn't show his face.

"Minister, the official of Longxi is engaged in Yuan Ji to see the Queen Mother, see Your Majesty, may the Queen Mother be a thousand years old, may my emperor be long live, long live, long live!"

"Aiqing is flat, give a seat." "What is the current military situation in Longxi?"

"Your Majesty, the border of Longxi is stable."

"Oh, what a stabilization method, you tell me in detail." Liu Ying glanced at Empress Lu, saw Empress Lu nodding, and retreated in his heart, Yuan Ji then talked about Longxi with confidence. Knowing that Li Guang was not dead, Liu Ying felt a loss in her heart, but she quietly praised Li Guang's bravery. "Yuan Aiqing, you were originally a Beijing official, and you have been in Longxi for seven or eight years, right? The military and political situation in Longxi has been stable for many years. "The minister is ashamed and dare not be, Li Shang and his son are in Longxi to shock Hu captivity, and the minister ...... The minister is in Longxi, but there is no tree to build. "Serving the king like a tiger, Yuan Ji carefully answered every question from Liu Bang, for fear that if something went wrong, Long Yan would be angry." Aiqing doesn't have to be presumptuous, since the Li father and son have made remarkable military achievements, can Aiqing treat the Li father and son for me? Liu Ying's tone was slightly aggravated when he spoke, but Yuan Ji, who was shocked, was sincerely afraid for a while, "It is the duty of a courtier to share worries for His Majesty, and the ministers are willing to go for His Majesty, showing His Majesty's mighty grace." At this time, Yuan Ji guessed eight or nine points for the reward of Li Shang's father and son. But listening to Liu Ying's kind face and pleasant face, "Aiqing has been in Longxi for seven or eight years, and after rewarding the Li father and son this time, and returning to Beijing to restore his life, he will take the position of Jing Zhaoyin, let's go." ”

"The minister retires, the Queen Mother is a thousand years old, long live my emperor, long live long live!" Yuan Ji bowed again and slowly withdrew.

Yuan Mansion, Yuan Ji worriedly with his younger brother Yuan Gang detailed the matter in front of the palace today, this reward, the emperor is afraid that he will borrow Yuan Ji's hand to get rid of the Li family father and son, the Li family is powerful, even if this matter is done seamlessly, I am afraid that it will implicate the entire Yuan family. "The emperor issued an order to reward the Li family and his son, and if he didn't go, he would resist the decree, and if he went, he was afraid that he would leave endless troubles. The elder brother will go, but he must send an urgent flag commander to inform the Li father and son of the inside story of the matter first, so that he must not offend the Li father and son, and he can complete his life. "Although Yuan Gang has no official position, he is well versed in officialdom, and he breaks through the mystery in one word." This matter is very important, and Feiying summoned it to the Longxi Mansion, so that the housekeeper Yuan Qing could personally summon the matter. "Yuan Ji is afraid of accidents, so he doesn't need to use it if he doesn't use it." So it is very proper, that tomorrow morning, I will release the eagle to summon the message. "Okay, you go and rest first, I'll go to the Prime Minister's Mansion, and I'll go back." Yuan Gang worriedly reminded Yuan Ji: "Brother, be careful in everything. ”

Cao Shen was reading the Longxi war report in the study, and when he heard Yuan Ji's visit, he hesitated in his heart, but asked the housekeeper to invite Yuan Ji to the study. Yuan Ji saw that Cao Shen was reading the Longxi war report, did not dare to disturb, bent down to stand beside Cao Shen, and waited for Cao Shen to read the Longxi war report before asking, "The prime minister has worked hard to govern the country, and shared worries for the emperor, but he also has to take care of his health. "Yuan Shen has a heart, and brings millet wine to the house every year, although millet wine is not expensive, but your wine jar is very expensive." "The millet wine is afraid that the weather will be hot and the wine will run away, so he can use the golden altar to hold the wine, so as to show the support of his subordinates for the prime minister." "A few days ago, Li Shang's son Li Guang was besieged in Yanzhi Mountain, can you find out?" Cao Shen immediately pointed out that the gift given by Yuan Ji was valuable, so he didn't say much on the wine, and at this moment, he had a lot of doubts about the battle of Yanzhi Mountain, and Yuan Ji came here to ask what was going on. "Back to the prime minister, Li Guang of Yanzhi Mountain was besieged, and he was rescued by the Li family army a month ago, Li Guang originally surrendered a team of Hu captives, but Juqi Lingbing said that there was a woman in the Hu captives at that time, very beautiful, I am afraid that this woman is not simple." Yuan Ji told Xiao He everything he knew, and when Xiao He heard it, he thought about it carefully. "This Mao Dun is not simple, first sent a BMW to Donghu, and now there is a beautiful woman to Dong Hu, Mao Dun is a new successor to Shan Yu, this woman is afraid that Mao Dun's favorite concubine Yan Shi, not simple." "The prime minister is saying that Li Guang's woman is the Yan family? From this point of view, isn't Maudun simply unable to command the Huns? Yuan Ji asked Cao Shen cautiously in confusion, but Cao Shen said, "Mao Dun's murder of his father to succeed to the throne is cruel, which is in line with the brutal nature of the Huns, how can he order it!" I'm afraid it has another meaning. Although Donghu is strong, they are independent, and although the Huns are weak, they only know Mingdi, I am afraid that they are in danger in the army, and they want to condense the hearts of the soldiers, so that they can make sense. "Prime Minister, it seems that Longxi is in danger." "Yes, Li Shang's father and son are powerful in Longxi, there is no room for mistakes, Your Majesty has a lot of suspicions about this, tomorrow morning, you will face the saint with me, and you will go back to the house to prepare." "The subordinates obey the order, and the subordinates retire."

Coming out of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Yuan Ji's haze was gone, and he went back to the house with peace of mind to discuss with Yuan Gang about tomorrow's morning, but he didn't know that at this time, Empress Lu secretly ordered Lu Ze to prepare the "things" for reward.
