Cao Gong immediately understood Xu Jing's worries and asked cautiously.

Xu Jing stood up and paced back and forth for a while, then stopped: "No need, I will order some personnel from the Crow Army to come to assist." Jinyi Wei just needs to maintain law and order. ”

"Minions understand."

Gonggong Cao nodded and said no more.

Xu Jing was worried about him, and he knew very well that the Lantern Festival was approaching at the moment.

It was impossible to track down any useful information in just one day.

Rather than spending a lot of people searching for people with suspicious deeds, it's better to do your job.

If those rebellious ministers and thieves really have the heart to do something on the day of the Lantern Festival, they will definitely take action.

Just be on guard inside and outside the capital and wait for them to send it to your door.

"By the way, those two vassal kings want to meet you."

Cao Gonggong was about to leave, but suddenly remembered the two vassal kings present, and then spoke.

"Speaking of these two, I don't know which two vassal kings they are?"

When Xu Jing heard that Gonggong Cao mentioned the two vassal kings, he immediately became interested.

After all, being able to come to the capital at the risk of being separated from the rest of the vassal kings shows how bold you are.

"Both are new kings. Speaking of which, the time for them to succeed the vassal king is not much different from the time for His Majesty to take over the throne. ”

"One is the King of Yan who sits in Yanyun, and the other is the King of Dian who is located on the southern border."

Gonggong Cao quickly informed Xu Jing of the origin and identity of the two vassal kings.

"So, these two are both vassal kings sitting on the border of my Daqian?"

Xu Jingjing nodded thoughtfully.

According to Xu Jing's memory, whether it is the land of Yanyun or the land of Yunnan, both are bordered by the border.

It can be said that the two vassal kings were both guarding the country.

"That's right, the two old vassal kings have made great contributions to my great cadre. In the past 30 years, it has fought more than 100 times with foreign enemies. No less than ten princes were killed or wounded. ”

"If it weren't for that, I'm afraid it wouldn't be the turn of these two vassal kings to get to where they are now."

Gonggong Cao nodded and said quickly.

"But both are good news for me. Presumably, the soldiers and horses under the command of the two are strong, and if they are placed in the big cadres, they will be invincible. ”

Xu Jing nodded and said in a good mood.

The land of Yanyun and the land of Yunnan are both barren lands, but the more such places, the stronger the army produced by the place that has been fought for many years.

If these two vassal kings led their armies to accompany the capital, it would be a big threat to Xu Jing.

But things were unexpected by Xu Jing, these two vassal kings did not go to the capital but came to the capital.

For Xu Jing, this is definitely a surprise.

"Indeed, this is a great luck, and even more so Your Majesty's luck!"

Gonggong Cao did not hesitate to praise Xu Jing again and again.

only touted that Xu Jing was destined to return, and he was an out-and-out true dragon son.

"Well, the horses don't talk about it. Send for these two. ”

Xu Jing glanced at Father-in-law Cao and mercilessly interrupted Father-in-law Cao's words.

Gonggong Cao was not annoyed, nodded and walked out of the East Palace quickly.

About an hour later, the two vassal kings appeared in the front hall.

"Gonggong Cao, I wonder how Your Majesty is feeling today?"

King Yan was a little apprehensive, although he and Xu Jing were related by blood, they were far apart.

Even, the two have never met. Now that I came to visit, I was naturally very nervous.

"Your Majesty is naturally in a very good mood when he learns that the two princes are coming. The two of you just need to relax, Your Majesty will definitely not speak ill of each other. ”

Gonggong Cao smiled slightly and said slowly.

"This is very good, and the land from which we come is not a rich land. It's just that some jade will occasionally appear. ”

"If Father-in-law Cao doesn't dislike it, just take it and play with it."

King Yan was familiar with his thoughts, and stuffed a small object carved from jade into Gonggong Cao's arms.

But the minion was disrespectful. The two princes waited here for a while, and the servants went to order someone to serve tea. ”

Father-in-law Cao just reached out and touched the small object in his arms, and then smiled from ear to ear.

You need to know that a good piece of jade is worth 10,000 gold! And the small object that King Yan stuffed into his hand is not big, but it is a first-class treasure!

I can't say, it's not inferior to the things in the palace, the value of such treasures is immeasurable, and the gold is to say less.

"In this way, King Yan is here to thank Gonggong Cao."

King Yan didn't look down on Gonggong Cao at all, and returned the salute.

"Isn't this a slave? If His Majesty knows, I am afraid that a punishment will be indispensable. ”

Father-in-law Cao was in a good mood, and he was almost unable to close his mouth when he smiled.

Holding the small objects, Gonggong Cao walked out of the front hall satisfied, and instructed the rest of the eunuchs to entertain the two vassal kings, while he himself went straight to the Xizheng Palace.

"Why is King Yan so concerned about a eunuch? No matter how high his status is, he is just a minion. ”

King Dian was very puzzled by King Yan's behavior, so he whispered into King Yan's ear and asked cautiously.

"Don't talk nonsense! This person is His Majesty's close attendant, so what if he is a eunuch? We are not afraid of Hades, but we must beware of imps! ”

"This kind of eunuch who has no family and no heirs is the most difficult, if he offends this person, he will slander us in front of His Majesty, intentionally or unintentionally."

"I'm not far from death, if I can have a good time, it will be beneficial and harmless."

King Yan lowered his voice and whispered in the ear of King Dian.

"I see, if there is no King Yan, I am afraid that I will already offend both inside and outside the East Palace on the road."

After listening to Mao Saiton, King Chongyan thanked him again and again.

"No, you and I are already in the same boat. I only hope to convince Your Majesty. ”

King Yan shook his head and said helplessly.

"The two princes, but what are you talking about?"

At this moment, Xu Jing suddenly walked into the front hall and interrupted the conversation between the two.

The two princes, who were suddenly startled by Xu Jing's words, suddenly stood up and bowed in the direction of Xu Jing: "King Chenyan (King of Dian) to see Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty, long live, long live!" ”

"You don't have to be so stubborn, you and I are a family, if you really want to count it, I still have to call the two brothers."

Xu Jing waved his hand to signal the two of them to get up, and said with a smile.

"Don't dare, we are just ministers, and we definitely can't call each other brothers with Your Majesty."

"Yes, one day for you, all day for you! We will be loyal to Your Majesty with all our hearts! ”

Xu Jing's casual words frightened the two vassal kings back one after another.

"I'm that scary? You don't have to worry so much. ”

Xu Jing waved his hand and motioned for the two vassal kings to take their seats.

"I wonder why you two came?"

Xu Jing sat on the main seat, looked at the two vassal kings in front of him and asked lightly.

"I've been here for one thing. I also ask Your Majesty to move back our domain. It's not that we don't want to serve the country, it's just that there are very few people in the clan! ”

The two vassal kings knelt on the ground at the same time and said loudly to Xu Jing.

Listening to the words of the two, Xu Jing's face was indifferent, and he only drank the tea in the cup without saying a word.

And the two vassal kings knelt in front of Xu Jing, not even daring to raise their heads, for fear of offending Xu Jing.
