In the national ceremony the next day, Xiao Yu, the regent, finally appeared, from announcing the world to the big banquet of the ministers, Xiao Yu did not interfere in anything, but played his role according to the rules and procedures.

After all the ceremonies were completed, Xiao Yuyi officially became Empress Da Zheng, the hostess of the entire harem, and entered the Flying Frost Palace.

After that, Xiao Yu also began to prepare for the emperor's pro-government and the king's feudal domain, first adjusting the layout of Qizhou, letting the newly appointed sailor governor Yang Bofu go to Langya Mansion, and then rebuilding the Taiqing Palace in Laoshan. During this period, Xiao Yu also met the former governor of Huizhou, Li Yuting, in Wanshou Garden.

Li Yuting is now over fifty years old, and spent the first half of his life in the Eastern Capital Hanlin Academy, until Zhang Jiangling's new policy reform, he was delegated to the locality, starting from the county, and has been promoted to the level of the governor of the feudal officials, the means of the city government are extremely good, and at the same time, he is also a rare capable minister, and even in the evaluation presided over by Zhang Jiangling himself, he has been able to get a middle and upper in the mouth of the first minister of the Zheng Dynasty, which has already overwhelmed the upper in other people's mouths, which shows that Li Yuting is not ordinary.

After Xiao Yu entered the Eastern Capital, Li Yuting did not make any drastic moves, but just watched the situation until Xiao Yu reformed the system and dismissed the governors of various places, and he returned to the Eastern Capital as an alternate.

With the rise and fall of Yang Bofu, many old people who were suppressed during the Qin Gong period saw hope, especially those who were suppressed because of the Zhang Jiangling case, most of which were reactivated by Xiao Yu to replace the vacancies left by the previous purge. For this reason, Lan Yu also once admonished Xiao Yu that if he blindly used the old man, he would certainly stabilize the situation in the shortest possible time, but he also lost the new atmosphere that a new dynasty should have, Xiao Yu did seriously consider this issue, but after weighing it many times, he still decided to use these people in a big way, after all, Zhang Jiangling's path is not wrong, since these people are the backbone of Zhang Jiangling's new policy back then, they will never be stubborn, and the later frustration has also made them draw a clear line with vested interests, so that they may not be able to sprout new sprouts from old trees, and then have a different atmosphere。

Among them, Li Yuting is a special case, he started in Zhang Jiangling's New Deal, but because of his long sleeves and good dancing, he was not implicated in Zhang Jiangling's case, but one thing is undoubted, he is a capable minister.

The secret guard once compiled a list for Xiao Yu, which has the current status and evaluation of various officials, and even a ranking, Yang Bofu and Li Yuting are among them, but Yang Bofu is not very high in the ranking because he has been in hiding for too long, and it is difficult to stand out if it is not recommended by Xu Lin. is Li Yuting, who is the second person on this list. Its comment is that the temperament is slightly gloomy, and the wrist is round,

Wanshouyuan's Dongnuan Pavilion is called a small cabinet, which is nothing new, everyone knows who is the one who really has the final say, even if it is the emperor's pro-government, so whether it is the imperial study or the Dongnuan Pavilion, it is very easy to choose.

Li Yuting has naturally heard of this place for a long time, but when he really walked into the Dongnuan Pavilion, he found that there was nothing unusual, and it was far from the rumored Four Pavilions of the Central Capital, just like Wenyuan Pavilion, what really made this place different was the deep meaning it represented.

Similarly, Li Yuting has also heard the name of the owner of Dongnuan Pavilion for a long time, Xiao Yu and Xiao Mingguang. Li Yuting has a habit of looking at people, that is, to look at the big from the small, Xiao Yu's first impression of him is that he is not a good woman, in Li Yuting's view, what is afraid of the prince is of course nonsense, a master who started with martial arts and has never been taboo with iron and blood, how can he be a person who is afraid of the inside? It is better to say that he has a strong self-control ability, and in order to integrate the grassland, he is willing to marry only the princess of the grassland. is the so-called good swimmer drowning, looking at Xiao Yu's past, he started by women, but he never planted a heel in a woman, which cannot but be said to be a miracle.

In this way, a very distinct image of Xiao Yu appeared in Li Yuting's eyes.

The outside is mild, the inside is fierce, utilitarian, light on life and death, and it can be called decisive.

Today, Xiao Yu wore a stone blue regular clothes, and there were no outsiders around him, just Mo Shu stood aside. Li Yuting sat on an embroidered pier, and the two faced each other, neither like a gentleman playing a match, nor like an old friend chatting. In general, Xiao Yu asked, Li Yuting replied, the content was also very lackluster, there was no mystery and temptation, and there was no deep meaning worth chewing on slowly, only plain and straightforward.

At noon, Xiao Yu asked people to set up a banquet in the side hall. This time, the ink book also retreated, and there were only Xiao Yu and Li Yuting on the table, and it was only at this time that the two began to talk deeply about some words that went deep into the flesh and bones.

Xiao Yu didn't talk about the rules of eating and not saying anything, he put a piece of roast venison in his mouth and chewed it carefully, and then asked: "If the position in the court can be chosen, do you want to be a cardinal or a minister in the palace?"

Li Yuting put down the chopsticks in his hand, thought about it for a while, and replied: "The so-called cardinal, who has lived in the capital for a long time, although he has the innate advantage of looking at the overall situation, he will inevitably fall into the temple net, and he will be constrained everywhere, and finally he will be stuck in the quagmire, unable to move. Weichen thinks that the pattern is not enough to be a cardinal, so he elects the minister. ”

Xiao Yu said with a smile: "Yuting's words are not only the words of Lao Cheng, but also the words of his heart. Since this is the case, then the Lone King also gave a secret to Yuting. ”

Li Yuting was sitting on his lap and waiting for the following.

Xiao Yu said slowly: "After the emperor is in power, King Gu will be in Qizhou, and in the next period of time, Qizhou is also the top priority, since Zhang Huadi's death, Qizhou still lacks a civil official, so King Gu plans to let Yuting you go to take up the post of political envoy of Qizhou." ”

Although he had expected it, the tail finger of Li Yuting's right hand on his lap still trembled slightly.

After the integration of Xiao Yu's small states and large states, Jiangbei and Northwest now have Zhili Prefecture, Yuzhou, Qizhou, Huizhou, Yanzhou, Xiliang Prefecture, Shaanzhou, There are eight major states in Shuzhou, so there are eight political envoys who have the power of a state, which is almost the ultimate of the feudal officials, although he had a premonition that he would have a place in it when he was called, but he only thought that most of them would be Huizhou or Shaanzhou, which was relatively low in wealth, and never thought that it would be Qizhou, which could rank first among the eight states in terms of wealth, and Qizhou, which was divided by Xiao Yu as his fiefdom, compared with the two, there is a world of difference.

And there is another sentence that makes Li Yuting smell a trace of unusualness.

Xiao Yu just said that Qizhou will be the top priority next, and then think of Yang Bofu as the governor of the water division, for an old man like Li Yuting who has been up and down for many years, the answer is already coming out.

Qizhou is under Xiao Yu's nose, and it is not a secret that Xiao Yu wants to use troops against Jiangnan, as long as he does a good job in the appointment of the political envoy of Qizhou, when the matter in Jiangnan is decided, the reward for meritorious deeds is indispensable no matter what, and such a term for one year will be ten years for other times.

In an instant, Li Yuting had already figured out the gains and losses, and hurriedly got up and bowed, "Your Highness Xie." ”

The next day, the Great Pilgrimage Meeting.

At the court meeting, the regent Xiao Yu officially announced that he would give up the right to discipline the government, step down as regent, and return to the emperor.

This move surprised many people who did not know what was going on, how long had he been the regent? It was only a finger count, less than half a year, and it was rumored in the eastern capital that the emperor would be in charge after his wedding, and everyone only regarded it as a joke, but they did not expect that today's joke would come true. Could it be that Xiao Yu was happy and stupid after becoming the ruler of the country, and really wanted to be a loyal minister who will be famous through the ages? But since ancient times, how many people have been able to come to this point and died well?

Next, the little emperor Qin Xian's will made people suddenly realize, and understood that the day had not changed color, but it was just a different statement.

Xiao Yu was crowned the king of Qi, and he established the state of Qi in the state of Qi, where he could appoint officials on his own and raise an army, as if he was a country within a country.

In the end of the Zheng Dynasty, there were many princes with fiefs, but Xiao Yu was the first person who could name the fief with the national character, and he was also the king with a different surname.

It's hard not to be reminded of the allusions of King Wei back then.

Then Yang Bofu was appointed as the governor of the water division, and Li Yuting was appointed as the political envoy of Qizhou, and they went to Qizhou to take up their posts together.

Xiao Yu's plan to return to politics has begun to emerge.
