Chapter 383 Solicitation
Both of them understood that Xuanyuan Jing bluntly stated his identity and did not hide it from them, so it was obvious that he came here for something.

Therefore, Sheng Xiong, the Patriarch of the Sheng family, did not intend to beat around the bush with Xuanyuan Jing, and asked Xuanyuan Jing bluntly:

"I don't know if His Royal Highness is visiting my Sheng family in person, what's the matter?"

It's a blessing, not a disaster, it's a disaster that can't be avoided.

Since the other party came to the door, Sheng Jia faced it.

Moreover, now it seems that the crown prince Xuanyuan Jing is not looking for trouble for his family, so Shengxiong's tone is still polite.

Xuanyuan Jing arched her hands and said with a smile:
"It's a good thing for Jing to come here, but I don't know if the old Patriarch Sheng will accept my kindness, the court's kindness?"

It turned out that Xuanyuanjing had been worrying about the arrest department all this time, but it wasn't that the arrest department in Yucheng couldn't recruit manpower.

Instead, he was worrying about the matter of handing over the power of the Sanzhou arrest department to Shangguan Qiuyu on his own initiative.

Originally, he didn't pay much attention to this matter, but when he reported it, he was scolded by Emperor Dayu, his father.

In the end, he realized that he had thought things too simply.

It has been nearly ten years since the Shangguan family moved to southern Xinjiang, and they have long wanted to develop power in the Jianghu. However, why has there been no movement until now.

The most important thing is that they don't have a reasonable excuse or reason to get involved in the Jianghu, so even if the Shangguan family wants to get involved in the Jianghu, they can only expand in secret.

In this way, its scale is effective, and no one in the Shangguan family understands the affairs of the rivers and lakes, so its progress must be slow.

When the Shangguan family has accumulated a certain amount of experience, at that time, the military strength of the Shangguan family may not be as good as before.

Today, the Shangguan family's private soldiers are still powerful, and once they make a move, they suppress Nanman so much that they can't hold their heads up.

The military capacity is still at its peak, so that the various forces in southern Xinjiang dare not compete with it.

However, at this moment, Crown Prince Xuanyuan Jing suddenly handed over the power of arrest department in the three states of Southern Xinjiang to Shangguan Qiuyu with full authority.

So, didn't he, Xuanyuanjing, make it clear that he gave a big gift to Shangguan's family?

May I ask, in Southern Xinjiang today, is there any force that dares to jump out at this time to trouble Shangguan Qiuyu and Shangguan's family?
A small negligence of my own made the wish of the Shangguan family come true.

Even with a push, he directly helped the Shangguan family gain a firm foothold in southern Xinjiang.

Although the arrest department is an official force, it nominally handles the affairs of the Jianghu, so the Shangguan family has a great advantage in both the Jianghu and the government.

When the Shangguan family holds the arrest department of the three states tightly in their hands, then there may be only one voice in the whole southern border.

It was for this reason that Xuanyuanjing was almost recalled to Yucheng by an imperial decree to be punished. However, fortunately, Emperor Xuanyuansheng still needed his son.

Therefore, all the news that was not good for Xuanyuan Jing was secretly suppressed and not spread, otherwise his position as the crown prince might be threatened.

As soon as all members of the Dragon Guards were enshrined, they were sent down by Emperor Xuanyuansheng immediately to pay for Xuanyuanjing's recklessness.

However, Xuanyuanjing had to deal with the matter of the arrest department in the other two states by himself.

According to Emperor Xuanyuansheng's words, if this is not handled well, he should not be the crown prince, and replace him as soon as possible, so as to save Dayu from being defeated by an incompetent emperor in the future.

Since it was left to Xuanyuanjing to solve it himself, he was naturally not allowed to rely on the power of his mother and concubine and the family behind it.

Originally, he was troubled by this, but the sudden appearance of Sheng Jia made his eyes light up suddenly. After checking all the information of Sheng Jia.

He found that the Sheng family was an excellent opponent to check and balance the Shangguan family's dominance in southern Xinjiang.

Especially after he heard that Bu Qingfeng's seven people had recruited hundreds of thousands of people from the bottom of the world in Huangzhou, this made him really start to face up to Shangguan Qiuyu again.

Seeing that his elder brother was silent, Shenglong asked Xuanyuanjing curiously:
"Benefits? What does His Highness the Crown Prince mean by the benefits? Can you explain more clearly?"

"Before this, can Gu Ke take the liberty to ask, the Sheng family has been in a semi-hidden state for thousands of years, why is it now?"

Before Xuanyuan Jing finished speaking, Sheng Xiong, the Patriarch of the Sheng family who had been silent all this time, suddenly said:

"If His Highness the Crown Prince came here for this matter, then forgive me for having nothing to say from the Sheng family. His Highness the Crown Prince has nothing to do with loss, so please go back."

Although Xuanyuanjing felt embarrassed by Shengxiong's attitude.

However, as Prince Yu, he had to deal with those courtiers and generals whose interests were inconsistent with him every day. Those people treated him even worse, and he was used to it.

It's just that, after all, as Dayu's courtiers, those people naturally wanted to show embarrassment to him, the crown prince, so as not to embarrass him too much.

Xuanyuan Jing naturally wouldn't take it to heart, and still said with a signature smile:
"Patriarch Sheng, don't worry. Since that's the case, I will let you know the intention of coming here, and I hope that Patriarch Sheng will give you more consideration before replying."

"I heard that the Sheng family has been the number one family in southern Xinjiang for thousands of years. There are many masters in the family, especially the outstanding people like brother Sheng." Xuanyuan Jing turned to look at the person standing aside. Sheng Ao.

"Don't dare" Sheng Ao declined.

"At present, there are still vacancies for the positions of state arrest envoys in the arrest departments of Jingzhou and Qizhou in southern Xinjiang. I wonder if the old Patriarch Sheng intends to let a son of the Sheng family take up the position?

If you are interested, you can recommend him to His Majesty. What is Sheng's family's idea? "

After finishing speaking, Xuanyuan Jing stopped talking, pretending to be sincere but not demanding, and waited for the three of the Sheng family to speak.

He knew that the members of the Sheng family didn't want to be officials, but they didn't want to be officials in the court. They only wanted to stay on one-third of an acre of their own land, and they didn't want to move their nests.

And the imperial court was very aware of the true strength of the Sheng family in the dark, so it was inevitable that the Sheng family would take advantage of this, and the court did not force the Sheng family to be an official.

At the same time, coupled with the fact that Sheng Jia has not been born in a real sense, the court is also not sure whether Sheng Jia still has a hole card, so he pays strict attention to him.

Now, the Sheng family was completely born, and there was such a big commotion that he killed a strong person in the innate realm with one strike.

Although it was heard that the third master of the Sheng family had passed away, the strength of the Sheng family was unquestionable. The master of the Sheng family, Shengxiong, and his cultivation at the level of a great master were enough to make the Sheng family one of the top families in the world.

The position of the arrest department is also in southern Xinjiang, and it is also the position of the state arrest envoy, so it seems that it is very suitable for the needs of Sheng Jia anyway.

After all, now that the Sheng family has fallen out with many sects in southern Xinjiang, if the Sheng family wants to expand its own power, it will inevitably be stumbling by many sects secretly.

There is a saying that the king of Hades is easy to see, and the little devil is difficult to deal with. People dare not resist you publicly, but they can disgust you to death behind your back.

For the olive branch suddenly thrown by Xuanyuan Jing, this is the best way out for Shengjia now, although Dayu is not as good as before.

Of course, it is precisely because of this that the control of Dayu's court has also declined, which is a good thing for all major forces.

This is also why, whenever troubled times come, heroes from all over the world emerge in large numbers, and the background of many families that were silent before is even more eye-catching.
