For Wang Hanxin's triumphant return, the happiest person may be Concubine Li. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

When she saw her younger brother Mi Yiguo, who was in charge of the prison army, returning safely, she almost cried with joy, because her brother was not only bearded and full-tailed, but also looked much stronger than before, but his skin was a little tanned.

Seeing the change in Concubine Li's facial expression, Liu Yan couldn't help but want to laugh, but he still held back, and said to Mi Yiguo: "Uncle Guo, can you gain anything from this trip to Huizhou?" Is there anything you want to report to me? ”

Mi Yiguo bowed respectfully, and from his movements, Liu Yan saw the calmness that he had not had before: "Back to Your Majesty, Wechen has gained a lot this time, but it does not refer to the pacification of the chaos in Huizhou, but to Wechen personally." ”

"Oh? Hear both. Liu Yan was quite satisfied with Mi Yiguo's statement, which shows that his judgment is not wrong, and Mi Yiguo's insight has indeed grown.

"Back to Your Majesty, if you take the pacification of the chaos in Huizhou as far as the general Dingxi should have a battle report submitted to Your Majesty, the emperor will naturally understand it after the imperial inspection. As far as Wechen himself is concerned, this trip has indeed benefited a lot, Wechen feels refreshed, and his body has grown a lot, even the guards sent by His Majesty to Wechen said that the state of Wechen when he returned to Beijing and when he left Beijing was like two people. ”

Liu Yan smiled and said: "I see that your knowledge has also grown a lot, don't hide it, tell me everything you see and hear, let me see how much you have grown?" ”

Mi Yiguo replied to a salute, and then said the original itinerary of the trip to Huizhou, Liu Yan listened carefully, and sometimes asked some details, and Mi Yiguo also answered fluently.

After listening to Mi Yiguo's report, Liu Yan smiled and said, "So what do you think are the advantages and disadvantages of Wang Hanxin's quelling of the rebellion this time?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, from the shallow insight of Weichen, General Dingxi's trip to quell the chaos is impeccable, which not only raises the national prestige of our dynasty, but also expands the scope of control, strengthens the actual control ability of the Hexi region, and also allows the Qiang tribes who are making trouble to get practical benefits and are happy and convinced, thus establishing the situation that the Qiang people are attached to our dynasty, so that other tribes in the Hexi region will not be able to compete with our dynasty."

Liu Yan nodded again and again: "Yes, I am very pleased with what Wang Hanxin has done, but what makes me even happier is your growth, Uncle Guo, after this time, your knowledge, bearing, and physical fitness have been greatly improved." I came to ask you, do you still feel scared when you see Wang Hanxin's kid now? ”

This sentence made Mi Yiguo hesitate for a while before he said: "Back to Your Majesty, Weichen is still scared when he sees General Dingxi. But it was different from the outright fear at the beginning, but closer to the kind of fear that the soldiers had for General Dingxi, and it was a kind of awe. ”

Liu Yan stroked his palms and laughed: "Okay, good! Uncle Guo, you answered well! This time, you have done a good job in quelling the chaos, let's say, what do you want me to reward you? ”

Mi Yiguo lowered his head and arched his hand: "Your Majesty, Wechen is just following the army this time, and he has not made an inch, so he doesn't dare to ask for any reward, I just hope that Your Majesty can agree to Wechen's request." ”

"Oh? What a request, but it doesn't hurt to say. ”

"The next time General Dingxi goes on the expedition, please let Weichen act with the army again!"

"Why is that?"

Mi Yiguo said: "Don't hide it from Your Majesty, Weichen traveled with the army this time, and only then did he know the hardships of the march and battle, and he also saw the pride of the military man." But Wechen can neither be literate nor martial, and he feels that he is a bystander, even so, Wechen still has a lot to gain. Wechen still wants to grow again, so I ask Your Majesty to agree to this request. In addition, although General Dingxi took care of Weichen, Weichen could see that he still respected Weichen, and Weichen hoped to change General Dingxi's prejudice against Weichen and ask His Majesty for grace. ”

Liu Yan said: "In this case, then I will not reward you, but only promise that I will take you with Wang Hanxin next time he goes on an expedition." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"Alright, you can step back first. I still have a few words to say to Concubine Li, and you will come back to meet your sister later. Liu Yan said.

Mi Yiguo respectfully retreated.

Liu Yan turned his head and smiled at Concubine Li, "How?" I was right? ”

Concubine Li hurriedly smiled and bowed: "The concubine thanks Your Majesty, so that the concubine's unsuccessful brother became a man overnight." ”

Liu Yan said with a smile: "Concubine Ai doesn't need to be polite, I just said that this battlefield is the best place to hone men." Sure enough, a war transformed Uncle Guo from a swinger to a man. But Wang Hanxin, this kid is really good, and it is easy for Brother Ling to worship him so much, no wonder he can get the loyalty of the soldiers. ”

"Exactly. The concubine was really happy in her heart, and if she sent another gentleman to her brother at this time, she would definitely be able to get twice the result with half the effort and let him succeed in his studies. ”

Liu Yan nodded and said, "I will arrange this matter." Uncle Guo's body is indeed much stronger than before, but as far as I can see, he is indeed not a good person to practice martial arts. If he is interested in joining the army, then it is better to start with paperwork. Let him focus on learning literature, as for martial arts, as long as he can protect himself, it is enough. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Concubine Li said and fell to the ground again.

Liu Yan stretched out his hand to help her up, and said with a smile: "Uncle Guo has returned from this meritorious service, if I don't reward him, I'm afraid it will be difficult to calm the public, but he has already made a request." Why don't I make you Concubine Li? ”

Concubine Li understood what Liu Yan meant when she heard it: Mi Yiguo's reluctance to be rewarded is, to a certain extent, in Liu Yan's arms, if Mi Yiguo was awarded an official position because of his military merits, then he would have political support, so he would inevitably be involved in the whirlpool of political power. Originally, he had occupied a lot of Liu Yan's favor and suffered from the jealousy of the harem, if Mi Yiguo was given an official position and had no foundation in the court, then not only could it not be his help, but it might attract the suspicion of Empress Hua, which was absolutely not beneficial to himself and his younger brother. On the contrary, if he is enshrined as a concubine and his younger brother is not entitled, there will be no threat to the queen, if Mi Yiguo can gain a firm foothold in the army, he is naturally not afraid that there will be no opportunity to increase the official rank, and if he can become Wang Hanxin's subordinate, his foundation will naturally be more stable. Liu Yan's move is really well-intentioned for his own sake, why is he unwilling?

At that moment, Concubine Li leaned over, kissed Liu Yan's face, and said with a smile: "Then the concubine will thank the lord Longen." (To be continued.) )
