After arriving at the palace, Xu Ji did not see Liu Hong soon, because it was going to be an early dynasty soon, so Xu Ji had to wait until after the early dynasty to see Liu Hong.

And Xu Ji is actually very curious about what the so-called early dynasty is like, but unfortunately he may not have the opportunity to see it in a short period of time, and a military parade will be held soon after the Xiyuan army is formed, but Xu Ji is a little scoffed at Liu Hong's statement that he wants to review the Xiyuan army, this emperor is just arrogant and lascivious on weekdays, and the military parade is just to show the so-called Han Tianwei, and it can also save the people's hearts for him. If Liu Hong really has the ability to govern the army, why should he do it himself.

Of course, this can't be said, even if Xu Ji has ten heads, he can't withstand this charge of disrespect, not to mention that now Liu Hong is the best talisman for himself, Xu Ji didn't plan to throw it away himself.

Dian Wei naturally did not enter the palace with Xu Ji, Xu Ji was waiting alone in the side hall at this time, and Xu Ji, who had nothing to do, naturally began to observe the surrounding environment, the side hall was naturally not as grand as the main hall, but it was enough to make Xu Ji sigh, today's people's lives are miserable, and the palace is still splendid, the so-called difficult to fight the world, it is even more difficult to guard the world, Liu Hong is indeed not a master of success, let alone a pioneering and enterprising king.

Thinking of this, Xu Ji couldn't help but feel a little pity for Liu Hong's fate, being in the royal family, too many things couldn't help it, and the saddest thing was to stand in an unsuitable position. If Liu Hong is just the king of a land, he may not have many disasters. It's a pity that there is no what ifs in the world, and whoever made the mistake should be borne by himself, and since Liu Hong is the emperor, he has no shirk responsibility.

After waiting for a long time, a small yellow door came in from the temple gate. Seeing Xu Ji sitting there with a calm face, he hurriedly shouted, "Lord Captain, the Holy Lord has summoned you to the main hall. Come with me. Hearing this, Xu Ji got up and said suspiciously: "Father-in-law, do you know what the Holy Lord summoned me?" ”

Xiao Huangmen seemed to be very affected by Xu Ji's salutation and replied with a smile: "Our family congratulates the captain first, this is a happy event." When Xu Ji heard this, he was even more suspicious. What exactly is a happy event? But before he could figure it out, Xiao Huangmen urged again: "Captain don't think about it, follow me to the main hall and know everything." Ignoring Xu Ji's reaction, he took small steps out of the side hall first, and Xu Ji had to follow with a wry smile. But along the way, Xu Ji has been guessing what this so-called happy event is, and what is a happy event in the eyes of others may not be the same in his own eyes.

The main hall is not far away, and the little yellow gate is walking very fast, so it is only a dozen breaths Xu Ji saw the main hall, and the little yellow gate also stopped and turned around and said to Xu Ji with a smile: "The captain goes by himself, the slave and maid have a humble status, and they can't go to the main hall." Xu Ji nodded and thanked him, and then walked to the main hall alone. Because he got up early in the morning, he didn't have time to change into his military uniform, so Xu Ji rushed to the palace in Confucian clothes, but Xu Ji calmly stepped into the main hall.

The main entrance of the main hall is facing the throne above the main hall, and at this time there is a middle-aged man sitting on it, it is self-evident that this person must be Liu Hong, and the civil and military officials on both sides of the lower head are discussing one after another, and the moment Xu Ji stepped into the main hall, the hall suddenly quieted down, Xu Ji walked indifferently to the middle and knelt down and said: "The military captain of the Xiyuan Army is here." And as soon as he said this, the originally quiet hall remembered the sound of discussion. Liu Hong on the seat seemed to be in a good mood and said with a smile: "Wen Lie get up, everyone, this is Xu Ji Xu Wen Lie." Hearing Liu Hong introduce himself to the Manchu Dynasty, he had a bad premonition, and what happened next really verified that his guess was right.

"Ladies and gentlemen. I'm afraid few people know about Xu Wenlie's deeds, right? Wen Lie is really a role model for my Han boy, Zhu Jun's victory in Changshe was his advice, and the battle of Wancheng was a plan to lure the enemy and conquer Wancheng in one fell swoop. I wanted to reuse it, but he was too young. Therefore, he went to Chen Liu to serve as the superintendent of the post, and Wen Lie found out two corrupt officials in less than half a year after taking office. I knew that Wen Lie was not only better than others, but also able to govern the government, so I took advantage of this Xiyuan army to transfer him back to Luoyang to listen to it. Liu Hongyang said a long time. It is nothing more than telling about Xu Ji's achievements since he came out, and these things are actually in the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, and some people are amazed and some people disdain.

At this moment, someone in the column of military attachés suddenly came out and bowed down and said, "Isn't the saint aware of Xu Wenlie's imprisonment of Chen Liutaishou Zhang Miao?" Xu Ji looked at it, it was Chun Yuqiong who was provoking yesterday, Xu Ji frowned, it seems that Yuan Shao's heart to exclude himself from the West Garden is extremely resolute, otherwise how could Chun Yuqiong dare to say this at this time? Liu Hong, who was sitting on the seat, smiled when he heard this, pointed to Chun Yuqiong and Jian Shuo who was standing beside him and asked, "Could this be the right lieutenant of the West Garden, Zhong Jianhu?" After seeing Jian Shuo nodding, Liu Hong instantly changed color and said, "What is the relationship between you and Zhang Miao, and you dare to speak for this villain?" Could it be that I don't know what is reasonable? What is the reason why Wen Lie asked someone to report on his work less than half a year after taking office? When Wen Lie was Chen Liudu, could he make a mistake and even report on his work? Wen Lie, according to this, this person is going to raise an army to attack on this ground, and his skills are not as good as others, and he will not be held accountable when he sees his pity, what do you want me to do? ”

These few words are full of voice, Chun Yuqiong has been scared out of a cold sweat, Liu Hong's attitude is obvious, he just wants to protect Xu Ji, at this time Chun Yuqiong opened his mouth to defend is also wrong, silence is to acquiesce that he and Zhang Miao have been very close, according to Liu Hong's attitude, he is only afraid that he will have inevitable blame, just when he was panicked, Yuan Shao, who had been silent, also came out: "The saint clearly sees that General Zhong Jian is just confused for a while, please forgive the saint. Yuan Shao knows how to use skills very well, although he is speaking for Chun Yuqiong, he has completely left himself and this matter behind, and the reason why Liu Hong wants Chun Yuqiong to let go is also when the Xiyuan Army is first established is to employ people, so of course Liu Hong will not really dispose of Chun Yuqiong, so Liu Hong snorted coldly: "Get out of the way!" Chun Yuqiong heard the words and hurriedly left the hall as soon as he heard the amnesty, but he glared at Xu Ji fiercely when he passed by Xu Ji, the meaning couldn't be more obvious, let's see.

To say that Chun Yuqiong alone Xu Ji didn't take him seriously at all, but there was a Yuan Shao behind this person, and Xu Ji was really difficult to deal with for a while. But this doesn't mean that Xu Ji will really let go of this Yuan Shao's lackey who keeps making trouble for himself, in such a short moment, Xu Ji decided to solve Chun Yuqiong first when he returned to the West Garden.

And after Yuan Shao saw that Chun Yuqiong was safe, he immediately returned to the military attache column and stopped talking. Liu Hong breathed a sigh of relief and continued: "I summoned Wen Lie today because I still have arrangements, Xu Ji. Pick up the order. Hearing this, Xu Ji hurriedly leaned down and said respectfully: "Wen Lie took the order." Liu Hong turned his head and glanced at Jian Shuo, and Jian Shuo picked up the yellow silk on the table in front of Liu Hong and said: "Fengtian carrier, the emperor's edict said: I remember that Xu Ji is a thief, young and promising, recruit Xu Ji as a concubine." Chin this. ”

As soon as this holy decree came out, there was an uproar in the hall, which was something that no one expected, and Xu Ji was even more stunned when he heard this holy decree, the so-called happy event of the little yellow gate that led him here seemed to refer to this matter, but Xu Ji was not happy at all. Liu Hong's move is a clever move, he will inevitably be regarded as Liu Hong's henchman in the future, and it is almost impossible for him to refuse, Liu Hong has a lot of children, but the only one who can match Xu Ji's age is Yining, who he thinks about day and night.

This news is a mixed blessing for Xu Ji, of course, for now, this is definitely a matter of more advantages than disadvantages, once he has the identity of a colt, he has a legitimate reason to move around Luoyang, and Yuan Shao has to consider Xu Ji's identity first, but trouble followed. Liu Hong is not a good choice, this is an unscrupulous faint king, in the future, he will be marked as Liu Hong's confidant, and it will become impossible to do that left and right thing.

But even though Xu Ji had thought everything very clearly, he still couldn't refuse: "Minister Xu Ji." Thanksgiving. Liu Hong smiled calmly and accepted Xu Ji's bow salute and said, "Wen Lie, Ning'er is the pearl of my palm, you have to treat her well." Can you remember? Liu Hong's expression at this time was like a loving father's style, but Xu Ji was disdainful again. If it was really a loving father, how could he regard his most precious daughter as a bargaining chip, if it wasn't for himself, it would be more important to Liu Hong now. Then the person who became a colt still doesn't know whose son it is.

Although Xu Ji was so disdainful in his heart, he still agreed with a solemn face on his face, Liu Hong seemed to be satisfied, and then said: "The marriage is decided, and after the military parade in the West Garden, I will choose a day to complete the marriage for you." Xu Ji naturally had no reason not to agree, and then Xu Ji resigned, for a very good reason, there were still military affairs in the Xiyuan Army that needed to be dealt with, and Xu Ji was originally not qualified to enter the court, so Liu Hong did not have any opinions.

But when Xu Ji was leaving, he occasionally glanced in the direction of Yuan Shao, and saw a touch of confusion in the eyes of this Yuan eldest prince, Xu Ji smiled at him, and then pointed to his head, the meaning of provocation was self-evident.

And Yuan Shao is naturally uncomfortable in his heart, Xu Ji, who he tried his best to solve, has now become a concubine, speaking of identity is more noble than himself, after having the identity of the royal family, he has to greatly restrain himself if he wants to make any small moves, Xu Ji's sudden identity as a concubine really makes him a little constrained, and from today onwards, his appeal in the West Garden will undoubtedly be greatly weakened, Xu Ji's identity as a concubine is much more useful in the West Garden Army directly under the emperor than elsewhere.

In other words, it is almost impossible for Yuan Shao to control this Xiyuan army again, how can the arrogant Yuan Shao swallow this sulking? But Yuan Shao does not have any temper in this identity, and he wants to go further, which does not mean that the Yuan family will also devote the strength of the whole clan to support him, Yuan Shao has not forgotten that he has a younger brother Yuan Shu behind him.

It's just that Yuan Shao also knows that now that the situation has reversed, it's not that he wants to squeeze out Xu Ji, but that Xu Ji wants to deal with him in turn, if Yuan Shao hadn't asked Chun Yuqiong to probe Liu Hong's tone, he was afraid that the person who would be reprimanded would be himself, and behind him was Yuan's family, once he was reprimanded by Liu Hong, he would be criticized by his family at the first time, and at that time, he was afraid that he would lose all the things he had now.

This also made Yuan Shao even more dissatisfied with Liu Hong, what kind of marriage should he give? As long as he is given a few more months, he will be sure to expel Xu Ji from Xiyuan, and at that time, the new army in Xiyuan will be his own Yantang, but now he has no such opportunity, Xu Ji is obviously Liu Hong's spokesperson in Xiyuan, Jian Shuo is not there, Xu Ji is the principal, where is his turn Yuan Shao? Even if Yuan Shao's fame and ability are stronger than Xu Ji, it is useless, as the so-called inexorcisable relatives, Xu Ji is a colt after all, and the soldiers naturally have brains. Once there is a dispute, it is natural that more people will choose to stand on Xu Ji's side, and among the eight lieutenants of the West Garden, Cao Cao will never say anything himself, he will do it. Chun Yuqiong and his martial arts are useless, and Zhao Rong and Feng Fang are even more useless. Yuan Shao, who is actually a really capable person among the eight lieutenants of the West Garden, also knows that it is Cao Cao and Xu Ji, and now Xu Ji has the capital to fight against him, Cao Cao was not his subordinate in the first place, so there is no hope.

After such calculations, Yuan Shao found that not only was the advantage of fame gone, but even the original stable numerical advantage was gone, and Liu Hong actually fell into such a situation in an instant after an edict, how could Yuan Shao not be angry?

At this time, Xu Ji was also extremely distressed, and the news came too suddenly for him. In other words, Xu Ji was not ready, and the benefits brought to Xu Ji by Liu Hong's marriage were only temporary, but the troubles were long-lasting. The first thing to bear the brunt of is that Xu Ji has become a "hardcore" emperor party, of course, this is not necessarily a bad thing, at least at present, no matter He Jin or the eunuchs, they will not do anything to themselves, but once the strength of the two sides is out of balance, he is the first target, and this is by no means what Xu Ji wants. Now that he has no choice, if he doesn't accept the marriage, he is afraid that he will be squeezed out by Yuan Shao and have to leave Xiyuan, and lose the position of captain of Xiyuan, then Liu Hong will not need himself accordingly, and I am afraid that it will be time to settle the account. Moreover, he will lose Yining, which is also something that Xu Ji cannot accept.

And that's not all. Liu Hong made it clear that he wanted Xu Ji to resist all the pressure of public opinion for him, and once Xiyuan Army had any negative Xu Ji, he believed that Liu Hong would never hesitate to put all the blame on himself. And if the Xiyuan Army is really strong, the praise it gets is that he Liu Hong knows people wisely, and after all, Xu Ji will not be able to do any good. This Xu Ji can still bear it, but the crux of the matter is that Xu Ji can see much more clearly than Liu Hong, how many of the eight lieutenants in the West Garden are really loyal to him Liu Hong? And how many are capable? The pressure on Xu Ji's shoulders is really too great, and Yuan Shao is still a constraint, even if Yuan Shao doesn't dare to exclude himself because of the change of his identity, but it is absolutely impossible for him to do things according to his own ideas.

Then trouble arises, Xu Ji knows his predicament too well, and the worst thing is that this time he doesn't have any helpers around him, this is the most troublesome problem, and even Xu Ji has an extra burden this time, Yining is almost a target that is put in the forefront for Xu Ji at this time, although no one may notice it for the time being, but once he is caught, not only Liu Hong will turn his face with himself, but even he himself can't accept it.

Xu Ji began to miss Guo Jia infinitely, although this prodigal son has always been unreliable and unstable, but he is indeed a guy who can solve people's worries, although he sent a letter the day before yesterday, but Xu Ji never expected that the situation around him had changed dramatically in just two days, and there were more and more troubles.

But this is half a good thing, Yining is finally going to be his wife, of course, it is still just not over the door, but the Xiyuan army is in the near future, and the military parade Liu Hong will definitely not be delayed, and the marriage is also scheduled after the military parade, this day is near.

And this also gave Xu Ji time to breathe and think about countermeasures, and now Yuan Shao's mind has to be used on how to deal with the military parade, Xu Ji is not worried about the military parade, the soldiers under his command are elite enough, and even when it comes to real combat effectiveness, Xu Ji's command of less than a thousand people can slaughter the rest of the Xiyuan Army.

So when these so-called colleagues were busy coping, Xu Ji had time to find a flaw, the eighth lieutenant of Xiyuan was not monolithic, and Yuan Shao did not have the ability to make these people with their own demands obey him, so Xu Ji realized that he might need to rely on the strength of the rest of the Xiyuan army, of course, the first thing to exclude was Jian Shuo and Cao Cao.

The reason is not difficult to explain, although Cao Cao is biased towards Yuan Shao, he abides by his duty, so Xu Ji is not worried that Cao Cao will help Yuan Shao, and of course he does not expect this former colleague to help him a little. Jian Shuo doesn't need to mention much, the things in the palace of the princess are only afraid of a sharp increase, and Jian Shuo will not even come to the West Garden often during this time.

The rest of what can be used has to be put aside Chun Yuqiong, this is Yuan Shao's lackey, and he hates himself too much, there is almost no possibility of provoking, and Xu Ji himself wants this guy to taste his own strength, so Xu Ji didn't consider him at all. And among the remaining three lieutenants, there is no doubt that Feng Fang is the easiest to use, this guy is a guy with a bad record, and being able to join the West Garden is also because of the family's background and money, this kind of person Xu Ji naturally looks down on, and Yuan Shao, who was born in the Yuan family and has always been good at raising fame, will not have anything to do with it, and there is an article to do.

As for Zhao Rong, Xu Ji felt that he was quite a bit of a city government, and it was not easy to provoke this, and all Xu Ji needed was to find someone to put a top tank for himself first, and when the time was ripe, Xu Ji would never let go of the opportunity to take revenge by himself. (To be continued......)
