In the Tai'an Palace, Long Xiang looked at Wang Yi, who he had not seen for a long time and was more mature and stable, he knew that this person would be the pillar of Taiping in the future.

Although Long Xiang didn't know why Wang Yi was willing to stay in Fuzhou rather than return to Anyang. But Long Xiang did not object, after all, now Xixuan's ambitions for Taiping are clearly revealed, Fuzhou is the closest border between Taiping and Xixuan, and with Wang Yi in charge, he also feels a lot more relieved.

Now that Wang Yi suddenly came to Anyang City from Fuzhou to ask for a meeting, isn't it, what changes have occurred?

Wang Yi said: "Emperor, but you received the news that the Xixuan Xu family destroyed Bayi?"

"Spy, I've come to report. “

"Then what did the emperor think?"

Long Xiang nodded and said, "Five years ago, at Xixuan's Spring Festival, it seems that there was an atavism from the Xu family. But there has been no news for five years, and now that the Bayi tribe has been wiped out, presumably, Xixuan wants to announce to these four countries that the Xixuan Xu family has the power of returning to their ancestors again. “

"The emperor is wise. This Xixuan came with ambitions, and it was obvious that there was a purpose for letting the Xu family soldiers destroy Bayi this time. Wang Yi said with a slight frown.

"You're talking about the country of Qilu. Long Xiang smiled slightly, and the smile was imprinted with Wang Yi's eyes, which were full of mutual praise.

Indeed, it is much easier for smart people to chat.

Wang Yi nodded and said, "What the minister is worried about is that Xixuan will start from Qilu." “

"It's not unreasonable for you to be worried, but it's not that simple to be able to rush over from Fuzhou so eagerly. Long Xiang said.

"The emperor is wise, this time let the minister rush over from Fuzhou, but it is not so simple. In the past five years in Fuzhou, the minister was to find out whether Xixuan had done anything, and it was impossible for Ye Siyuan's case to be without a black hand. Sure enough, the minister found that before Ye Siyuan, Xixuan had someone who lurked in Fuzhou, and the strange ways that happened to Ye Siyuan were all from Xixuan. “

"What do you mean, Xixuan has a purpose? Control Z Ye Siyuan, kill the official of Fuzhou, Changzhou is the only smooth way to Fuzhou. If you talk about it like this, it is indeed thoughtful, and it starts from the time of the first emperor. Long Xiang couldn't help but feel frightened, such a long-term plan, maybe during the period of the first emperor, when the Fuzhou rebellion occurred, Xixuan had this thought.

"If this is the case, Xixuan's purpose is very obvious. After speaking, Wang Yi raised his eyes and looked at Long Xiang, who didn't say anything more.

Long Xiang didn't speak, Wang Yi naturally didn't open his mouth either, he waited. Long Xiang pondered for a while, and then said, "No matter what, the secret fold you wrote to the widow in the past five years has also been seen by the widow. Fuzhou cleaned up well, and Xixuan should have also discovered it, so he focused on the country of Qilu. Wang Yi, what do you think?"

Wang Yi thought for a while and said: "Although Qilu is a small country, it is an important treaty port, and many of the five years of Zhongyouhai City have been traded from the country of Qilu, and the circulation of this money is incredible. During the period of the Kangxuan Dynasty, the country of Qilu bordered the Kangxuan Dynasty and naturally became a vassal state. Now that the Kangxuan Dynasty is divided, the country of Qilu has naturally become a thorn on both sides, whether it becomes the thorn of the other party or its own thorn, this is the key. “

"You're right, Xixuan thinks the same thing, that's why he eradicated Bayi. In order to make Qilu panic. However, the country of Qilu has sent an envoy to Taiping, indicating that the country of Qilu intends to seek the blessing of Taiping. Long Xiang said.

Therefore, the minister thinks that the emperor should go to the country of Qilu to show other countries that Taiping and the country of Qilu are friendly neighbors. Wang Yi said.

"But for what reason?" Long Xiang said with a knowing smile.

Wang Yi also nodded with a smile, they knew what the other party meant. There are some things, since both sides have thought of them, there is no need to pick and say, after all, they should come, and they will always come.

"Your Majesty. The little eunuch outside the palace lowered his head and walked into the palace quickly, his hand held high above his head, holding a letter on it, which looked like a luxurious envelope.

"The post from the land of Qilu. “

Wang Xi walked to the little eunuch's side, took the letter, and the little eunuch got up, in the same posture, and then withdrew from the palace.

Wang Xi respectfully sent the letter to Long Xiang and said, "Your Majesty." “

Long Xiang stretched out his hand to take the seemingly expensive envelope, opened it to look at the paper raft sprinkled with gold dust, glanced at it a few times, raised his eyes, and saw Wang Yi smiling and arching his hand: "Congratulations to the emperor, the reason is here." “

Long Xiang smiled slightly, put the letter in Wang Xi's hand, and asked: "This invitation to the widow to go to Qilu is a national gift, according to you, which concubine should the widow bring?"

Wang Yi thought for a while and said: "The emperor is the only son of the first emperor, and the succession to the throne is deserved, and without the blessing of his own party, it is inevitable that things will not go well." But recently, the opening period of Zhongyouhai City is near, and there are many merchants. If it is according to the opinion of the minister, naturally, there is only that. “

Long Xiang nodded, without the slightest displeasure, and said to Wang Xi beside him: "Help the widow to draw up the will, just say that this time I will go to the country of Qilu, and I will go with Concubine Jue and Concubine Yan." “

"Yes, Your Majesty. Wang Xi nodded and walked out of the palace.

Long Xiang turned his head to Wang Yi and said, "Later, let Wang Xi send you something, it's not a rare thing, but it's also very precious." “

"Thank you to the emperor for the reward, but the minister really doesn't need anything. Wang Yi arched his hand.

"Wang Yi, Wang Yi, you are smart, but you don't understand human feelings. This gift is not for you, but for the person you are visiting. Long Xiang smiled lightly, believing that no one is perfect.

"Thank you, Emperor. Wang Yi didn't refuse this time, but simply agreed.

Xixuan

The shallow water swayed in the pool, the warm mist clinging to the fair skin, and waist-length black hair scattered in the water like a brocade. Through the little bit of green silk, you can see that on the white back, the totem like a flame is the totem on the banner of the Xu family, and the amazing thing is that this totem, through the delicate skin, is more like being inlaid on the skin.

"My lord, the emperor is invited. Outside the pool, Xu Qingruo's voice came from the announcement.

The girl did not reply, and after a long time, she slowly walked out of the pool. Stretching out his hand, the outer robe handed over by the slave next to him blocked the beautiful figure.

This girl seems to be fourteen or fifteen years old, and she has everything she should have. When the girl turned around, the cinnabar on her forehead glittered like a jewel, and everything was so beautiful that her face, with a white mask without any expression, ruined it all, including the seemingly beautiful figure.

She knew that what should come would always come!
