Chapter 280: Stabilize the Central State

General Xiao has won the award, Weichen just did what he did, the main credit is still in the left minister, if it weren't for the wisdom of the left minister, this matter would not have been rewarded so quickly, so Weichen did not dare to be rewarded. ”

Master Li immediately excused himself, speaking honestly and fearfully, his eyes glanced at Ouyang Kun from time to time, and a layer of cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

This squire of the Criminal Department surnamed Li, although he was born well, but he looked like a slave, and the reason why he was able to climb to such an official position was because he was stammered by Ouyang Kun, so now that Xiao Mohan was so close to him, he didn't know how to deal with himself.

The emperor sat on the court and saw this scene clearly, the position of the right minister was vacant at the moment, Ouyang Kun and Xiao Mohan were equally divided in the court, whoever had more chips among them, the balance would be tilted, and the emperor would not allow this kind of thing to happen.

"There is no hurry in advance, and when I send those envoys of the central country, I will reward my meritorious deeds."

After a while, the emperor spoke slowly, although his face was calm, but there was always a little displeasure in his tone, and no one dared to say anything more at this time.

"The matter of the violent death of the princess of the central country, if I hand the letter to the central country, it will inevitably be unclear, since this matter is investigated by the left minister, then the left minister, are you willing to personally send an envoy to the central country to explain the matter to the emperor of the central country?"

The emperor looked at Ouyang Kun, although it was an inquiring tone, but his eyes were obviously firm, and it seemed that he had made up his mind in his heart.

Ouyang Kun didn't expect the emperor to come out like this, and he was a little stunned, this envoy to the central country, it will take at least more than a month to go back and forth, and when he comes back, maybe what kind of changes will happen in this capital, so in all fairness, he doesn't want to go.

"Your Majesty is wise, if Prime Minister Zuo can go to the central country before the envoys return to the central country, and explain this matter to the emperor of the central country in advance, then it will avoid the possibility of those envoys adding oil and vinegar, which can be described as a good thing for Xiao Guo."

Xiao Mohan also immediately agreed, his thin lips were sharp, a smile appeared on his face, and a trace of cunning flashed in his deep eyes, which made people look inrecent.

"Since it is a good thing for the benefit of the country and the people, then Weichen will obey the order."

Ouyang Kun saw that he was difficult to ride a tiger, and the emperor was watching from above, he couldn't hesitate too much, so that the emperor could see that he was unwilling to do anything, so he could only grit his teeth and nod.

"Very good, two Aiqing, I am really blessed to have a minister like you by my side."

When the emperor heard this, he was immediately happy, and a long-lost smile swelled on his face, but this smile was not pure, and there were many bayonets behind it.

"Congratulations to Your Majesty." Those ministers knelt on the ground, and their cries resounded through the government and the opposition, almost all of them were smart people, and they knew best when to say something, so they were not bored at this time.

Xiao Mohan and Ouyang Kun lowered their heads one after another, and the two of them looked at each other secretly, their faces were a little vigilant, but neither of them tore their faces.

After the next dynasty, the ministers withdrew from the Jinluan Palace one after another, Xiao Mohan and Ouyang Kun were no exception, just now in the Jinluan Palace, Xiao Mohan knew that Ouyang Kun wanted to lead the disaster to him several times, but he was silently blocked back.

"Lord Ouyang, the emperor has ordered, let you leave for the central country on the same day, you also have to be faster on the road, this central country is far away from the mountains and rivers, but it is not as good as the capital."

Xiao Mohan stopped beside Ouyang Kun and deliberately reminded him like this, Ouyang Kun's face was gloomy, and he glared at Xiao Mohan coldly, but he didn't dare to do anything out of the ordinary.

"Thank you for the general's reminder, I must go early and return early, so as not to worry the general."

Ouyang Kun endured the anger in his heart, gritted his teeth, and the corners of his forehead were covered with blue tendons.

Master Li stood aside, wanting to leave but not daring to go, he looked at Xiao Mohan cautiously, and when Xiao Mohan looked over, he immediately lowered his head, retracted his gaze, and cowered, which was really ugly.

Ouyang Kun turned around, also stared at Lord Li fiercely, raised his feet and walked away, and Master Li immediately followed, just like a bull.

Qian Qianqian stayed in the mansion and learned what happened in the court, which Xue Yi told her, and every time there was something new outside, she would always know from Xue Yi's mouth.

"Prime Minister Zuo is going to Yangguo? The place is high and the road is far away, and it takes a lot of effort to come and go. ”

Qian Qianqian was taken aback, although she had never been to Yangguo, she had been to the frontier, not to mention that she was still from Lianzhou City at that time, and now Ouyang Kun is going to set off from the capital, and the distance is inevitably farther.

"The left phase is high and powerful, and the envoy to the central country is not a war, so it is best to send civil officials to go, most of the old ministers in the court are gone, so in the eyes of the emperor, the left minister is the best candidate."

Xue Yi poured Qian Qianqian a cup of tea, there was no superfluous look on her face, even if she was like Qian Qianqian, she had never taken a step out of the General's Mansion, and she knew the situation outside well.

"You know a lot, but how to place the body of the princess of the Yang Kingdom? Do you want to let those envoys of the central country bring them back? ”

Qian Qianqian was very curious, although the weather is getting cooler now, the corpse can't be stored for so long, and there is no freezing technology in this ancient world, if the corpse is in the central country, it is strange if it does not rot and stink.

"Eighty percent will be cremated in Beijing, and then bring the body back for burial, this is all a later story, the main thing is to persuade those envoys of the central state first, so that they can return to the central country willingly."

Xue Yi is very clever, although there are some things that Xiao Mohan didn't say, she can guess that even if the princess of Yangguo died of illness by herself, with the temperament of those Yangguo people, Xiao Guo will be blamed.

"Their princesses are dead, what do they want? If they dare to make trouble, they will spread the word that their princess is indecent, pampered, and does not treat our servants of Xiao Guo as human beings, which has ruined their reputation as princesses, and their faces are not bright. ”

Qian Qianqian put down the teacup in her hand, her tone was a little angry, her eyebrows were tightened, her eyes were full of stubbornness, she was originally angry, but who knew that Xiao Mohan happened to walk to the door.

"Ahem." Xiao Mohan coughed lightly, Qian Qianqian suddenly came back to her senses, turned her head to look, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that it was him.

"Why don't you make a sound when you walk? Scared me. ”

Qian Qianqian muttered on her lips, Xiao Mohan walked straight in, Xue Yi retreated with interest, and deliberately closed the door.

"What you just said, are you serious?" Xiao Mohan sat down in front of Qian Qianqian and stared at her coldly, making her feel uncomfortable.

"I'm just talking casually, it's all angry words, and I can't take it seriously."

Qian Qianqian shook her head one after another and poured dirty water on the dead man, this trick was too damaging, so she didn't mean to implement it, but she was just angry for a while.

"No, that's a good idea, Qianqian, you're smart."

Xiao Mohan's words changed, and when he suddenly said this, Qian Qianqian was stunned for a moment, carefully looking at his expression, his face was full of disbelief.

"It's not good to do this, the dead are big, and the princess of the central country is also innocent, and she was used and implicated by their central country, if you really do this, isn't it too downfalling."

Qian Qianqian lowered her eyes slightly, her long and thick eyelashes blocked the emotions under her eyes, and she always felt a little unbearable in her heart, she was also a woman, although she had never seen the princess of Yangguo, but she couldn't get off that hand.

"Soldiers are not tired of cheating, the central country is insidious and cunning, if we are too upright and gentlemen, we will only have the share of being slaughtered by others, so there are some things that we don't want to do."

Xiao Mohan has been galloping on the battlefield for many years, he is used to seeing life and death, and he has also seen those people of the Central Kingdom slaughtering the people on the border of the Xiao Kingdom.

"Well, now is a critical time, I know that the people of the central country are not easy to deal with, so this matter really has to be ruthless."

Qian Qianqian sighed, understanding what Xiao Mohan meant, at this time, it must not be a woman's kindness.

"By the way, can I leave the house tomorrow? I made an appointment with Master Shao and wanted to visit his restaurant. ”

Qian Qianqian suddenly thought of this, and suddenly raised her eyes, with a look of anticipation, and her eyes brightened.

Xiao Mohan's face sank, his sword eyebrows raised slightly, compared with Qian Qianqian's excitement, his expression was extremely indifferent, which made Qian Qianqian a little confused.

"What's wrong with you? Is there something uncomfortable? Qian Qianqian looked at Xiao Mohan's expression, not knowing what Xiao Mohan was thinking at all.

Xiao Mohan retracted his gaze, becoming more and more annoyed in his heart, didn't this stupid woman know that he was uncomfortable?

"It's okay, wait two more days, and when I send the envoys of the central country, I will personally accompany you."

After a while, Xiao Mohan slowly opened his mouth, his voice was low, revealing a little depression, and his expression was solemn and detached, making it easy for people not to approach.

"No need, just have Xue Yi by your side, you are busy with official business, and you have a lot of opportunities every day, so you don't have to waste your time on such trivial matters."

Qian Qianqian didn't think so, she felt that Xiao Mohan was completely superfluous, she knew that Xiao Mohan hadn't rested well in the past few days, so she wanted Xiao Mohan to rest when she was free and worry less about her.

"This matter is so decided, I don't worry about others accompanying you, you take it with you in the house for the past two days, and Xue Yi will watch you for me."

Xiao Mohan lightly pursed his thin lips and said categorically, so that there would be no room for negotiation in this matter.

Qian Qianqian was still a little stunned, Xiao Mohan's face was so ugly, I don't know why, she thought about what she had done in the past few days, it seemed that she had never sinned against Xiao Mohan.

"Hello rest, I still have official business to do, so let's go first."

As soon as Xiao Mohan's voice fell, he straightened up and strode out of here.

Qian Qianqian looked at his back, still very puzzled in her heart, and said that a woman's heart, a needle under the sea, she now feels that this man's person is the sand on the bottom of the sea, and she can't completely see it no matter what.

Xiao Mohan sent someone to invite Prince Su, saying that he had prepared wine and food and wanted to make amends to Prince Su, Prince Su originally rejected him with righteous words, but after receiving his letter, he agreed to come to the general's mansion for a banquet in person.

Qian Qianqian didn't know about it, and Xiao Mohan didn't make a big fuss, so she still walked outside as usual, completely unaware that there were distinguished guests in the inner hall.

"Prince Su, you have been in the capital for so long, and you haven't been to my general's mansion yet, I specially prepared wine and food, and finally invited you."
