Panyu City, Metropolitan Governor's Mansion.

Xiao Jie thanked Lord Long En, took over the edict from the eunuch who announced the decree, and formally accepted the post of Annan Metropolitan Protector.

After reading out the decree, the eunuch seemed to have some unfinished business, and said to Xiao Jie with a smile: "His Royal Highness, before this old servant leaves, Eunuch Lian from the Ministry of Internal Affairs asked the old servant to tell His Highness a few words. I don't know if Your Highness would like to listen."

Xiao Jie was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said: "Eunuch, it's okay to say, Luoyang and Panyu are separated by more than a thousand miles. Even Eunuch can ask Eunuch to pass on a message to me. I think it must be a good word. Of course, I must listen to it."

One must know that Lian Yi has been following his father since he was young, and has always been by his side. He has won the trust of his father. To a certain extent, his words can completely reflect the attitude and meaning of his father.

The eunuch smiled and said: "Eunuch Lian said that Your Highness is a genius, and has his own ideas in everything, but to His Highness, His Majesty is both a king and a father, and His Highness must not lose the sense of a ruler and his subjects, the righteousness of father and son."

Xiao Jie nodded silently, he understood Lian Yi's meaning, that he must ask his father for instructions before doing anything in the future, so as not to offend his father, or even arouse his suspicion if it is serious.

A few days ago, he had received a secret letter from Luoyang sent by Xiao Ji. The content of the letter was not long, and there was not a single sentence in it to criticize him. Xiao Ji just told him in the most flat tone in the letter, This is the third time.

In fact, Xiao Jie could understand Xiao Ji's thoughts. For the emperor, the imperial power was supreme at all times. For him, it was not only foreign clans and surnames that could threaten his throne, but also his courtiers and even his sons.He also understood that he had violated a taboo by using troops against Lin Yiguo without authorization this time.

If it was anything else, Xiao Ji could think that he was young and vigorous, young and ignorant, but he was not good at military power. Every soldier in the world was the emperor's soldier. Although he was the governor of Jiaozhou, but It is nothing more than commanding the soldiers and horses on behalf of the emperor. The emperor can only decide where to point the army.

Although this time Xiao Ji did not impose any punishment on himself, and gave himself the post of the Annan Metropolitan Guard, and even reused his wife's family to improve his voice in the court, but Xiao Jie also read Xiao Ji's words. Ji's deeper meaning is that Xiao Ji is telling himself that what he gives to himself is his own, and what he doesn't give to himself can't be messed with.

It may be that Lian Yi was afraid that he would not understand his father's meaning, so he specially asked the eunuch who announced the decree to remind him again.

Thinking of this, Xiao Jie couldn't help but asked with a smile: "Don't you know your father-in-law's name?"

The eunuch seemed a little overwhelmed, and hurriedly laughed and said, "Your Highness is joking, I don't dare to be your surname. The old slave's surname is Li, and his name is Li Shun. He is currently serving as an errand in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and he will be given a post during his tenure."

Xiao Jie nodded slightly, and said with a smile: "Eunuch Li has been exhausted all the way, it's been hard work, the mansion has specially prepared a small gift for the father-in-law and even those in the capital, and I hope the father-in-law will accept it."

Hearing that there was a gift ready, Li Shun was instantly overjoyed, smiling so much that his eyebrows and eyes squeezed together, he must be the King of Qi, even if he would come, but he still had to politely decline: "Why? Sorry...Your Highness is too polite."

We can't blame Li Shun for being greedy for money. After all, they have lost the most important thing for men, and the only thing left in their lives is power and money.

Xiao Jie smiled: "Eunuch Li is too polite, but it's just a small thought. If Eunuch Li insists on not accepting it, he will look down on the gift prepared by me, Xiao Jie."

Having said all this, Li Shun naturally couldn't continue to refuse, so he accepted Xiao Jie's kindness along the way, and said cheerfully: "In this case, the old slave will not be disrespectful, thank you Your Highness."

Xiao Jie also smiled slightly, and said: "When Eunuch Li returns to the capital, please tell Eunuch Lian for me. I, Xiao Jie, thank him for his reminder. I will remember this kindness."

Li Shun smiled and nodded again and again in agreement, then he bid farewell to Xiao Jie, and followed the soldiers in the mansion to fetch his and Lian Yi's "small gift".

As soon as Li Shun walked away, the content on Xiao Jie's face gradually disappeared. Without saying a word, he turned and went to the study, then took out the jade whistle from his arms, and blew lightly out of the window.

Not long after, a masked man in black slipped into the study silently and knelt down in front of Xiao Jie.

"Subordinate Jiayi sees Your Highness."

Xiao Jie picked up a pen and scribbled down two names on the paper, handed it to Jia Yi, and said in a deep voice: "Take a few people to Yingchuan County for me, help me find the two people above, and bring them immediately. Panyu see me."

Jia Yi took the paper without looking at it, put it into his arms, cupped his fists and said: "This subordinate will definitely fulfill his mission."

Xiao Jie pondered for a moment, and then said: "You can tell me my name, please tell me that I, Xiao Jie, wanted to visit in person, but I couldn't get away because of mundane affairs, so I could only entrust you When I come to invite you, I must let the two of them know my sincerity and willingness to come to Panyu to help me."

Jiayi clasped his fist again: "This subordinate understands!"

Xiao Jie hesitated for a moment, but a ruthless look still flashed in his eyes: "If they insist on refusing to come, you have to tie them up even if you tie them up. If you still can't tie them down, then kill them all."

Jiayi didn't hesitate, and didn't ask any more questions, but just accepted the order generously: "This subordinate obeys the order."

Seeing that Jia Yi was about to resign and leave, Xiao Jie hesitated, but stopped him: "Forget it, if they insist on not coming to Panyu, you just stay in Yingchuan County and keep an eye on them. The book told me, at worst, I will come to him personally to visit the thatched cottage."

"My subordinate understands!"

Although Jia Yi didn't understand why Xiao Jie changed his mind suddenly, and he didn't know what it means to "look at thatched cottage three times", but he only knew that as a dead man, he didn't need to understand too much, and he didn't need to ask too many questions. Just follow His Majesty's orders.

Xiao Jie looked at the back of Jia Yi going away, with a complicated expression on his face.

After this incident, he also found that he was still a little naive in politics, and he easily violated the taboo of the emperor if he was not careful. The power is growing day by day, and sooner or later it will arouse the fear of the father, and when the time comes, one wrong step will mean that the whole game will be lost, and the situation will never be restored.

He felt that it was time for him to find one or two top think tanks, not only to advise him at any time, but also to remind himself in time at critical times, so as to avoid making mistakes that he should not have made.

Now he sent the dead men to Yingchuan County to find for him the crouching dragon and phoenix chicks who will assist Xiao Huang in making great achievements in the future. They are also the intellectual ceiling in this book. Huang's right-hand man.

He even thought that if they were really influenced by Xiao Huang's halo as the protagonist and refused to serve him, he would have no choice but to kill them, get rid of them and soon, no matter what, he would never let them join Xiao Huang's command and become his own. Seriously.

It's just that he had no choice but to give up this idea in the end. It's not that he was merciless, but that Yingchuan County has many strategists since ancient times, and the two of them are the best among them. They are famous all over the world. It will ruin their reputation, and they will become the public enemy of the entire Yingchuan think tank. I am afraid that they will swarm to Xiao Huang or other opponents of their own, and the gains will not be worth the losses.

Wizards have been so arrogant since ancient times, and now he can only hope that this pair of crouching dragon and phoenix chicks can feel a little bit of his sincerity and come out to help him.

Otherwise, I really might have to go to Yingchuan to visit the thatched cottage.
