Travel through ancient times and become a great hero

The next morning, the emperor had not yet arrived, and the ministers were gossiping.

Everyone was discussing the fact that the Crown Prince had volunteered to be demoted three levels and sent to Western Xinjiang to take up a post.

Some ministers thought that since the prince had become a lord, there was no need for him to suffer that punishment.

Some ministers believed that the Crown Prince's appointment to the Western Frontier was a move by the Emperor.

Some people believed that the prince went to Xinjiang to seek fame and fortune in a false way, but he really wanted to make money.

There are different opinions.

He Qing was very pleased to hear this. The prince had no connections, and he only relied on the fact that the emperor was his father-in-law. But the Western Frontier was so far away, it would be easy for him to control him. If that didn't work, he could bribe him and drag him down.

He had made up his mind. No matter what happened today, he would ask for permission to go to Western Xinjiang.

"My dear ministers, the economy of Western Xinjiang is recovering now. The prince of the Duke's Mansion has already arrived in Western Xinjiang. Yesterday, we received news that someone from the Western Region has been sent to discuss business. The prince has already sent someone to quickly send back a copy of the negotiation. It is expected to arrive later."

"I order the Prime Minister and the relevant ministers to discuss the matter together. Then I will stamp it with my seal and it will come into effect."

"I obey your order!" Prime Minister Zhang Liangchen has received news from his nephew Zhang Jierui.

He will actively cooperate in drafting this agreement. This concerns the future of their Zhang family.

"Your Majesty, I have a favor to ask." He Qing couldn't bear it any longer.

If the emperor sends someone else to be a general in Xinjiang someday, all his dreams will be shattered.

"My dear Minister He, we are discussing state affairs. If it is a private matter, let's talk about it later." The emperor glanced at Xiao Dezi.

Xiao Dezi walked quickly to He Qing and whispered something.

He Qing's eyes lit up, and then he clasped his fists in salute.

"Your Majesty, I am sorry for being rude." Then he lowered his head and began to daydream.

After the court session, He Qing stopped Xiao Dezi and asked him to inform the emperor that he wanted to see him.

The emperor went to the side hall to rest.

Xiao Dezi went to report to the emperor first, and then came back to tell He Qing. The emperor met him in the side hall.

He Qing walked into the side hall and found that the Queen Aunt was also there.

"Qing'er, you came to your aunt a few days ago and said you were going to Western Xinjiang. The emperor asked me just now, and I was wondering, Western Xinjiang is so far away, with yellow earth all over the sky, can you endure that suffering?"

"Aunt, I just want to go and train for a few years. I'm tired of staying in Kyoto. I want to train myself there. Besides, the prince is a nobody. If he can stay there, I can too."

"Your Majesty, if I go, I can help the prince. He will do his job as a local official, and I will guard the border. We will take care of each other."

"I consider that you are the Queen's nephew, and I am afraid that you will not adapt to the place. I am also thinking about your He family. Besides, the general who replaced Meizhou Pu has already arrived in Western Xinjiang. What can you do there?"

"I just want to go there for training. If I can't become a general, I can be a commander." He wanted to go there with all his heart.

"This is a decision you made yourself. The environment in the loess plateau of Western Xinjiang is extremely harsh. If something happens, Queen, please don't blame me."

"The child is grown up now, and I can't control him. He made his own decision, so he should bear the consequences. Since you have decided to go, I don't object. But don't cause trouble when you go, otherwise I can't save you."

"Don't worry, aunt. Your nephew won't let you down." He Qing was overjoyed when he saw that the emperor had agreed to this matter.

"Xiao Dezi, please remind me of tomorrow's morning court. Otherwise, there are too many memorials to submit and I'm afraid I won't remember them all." After saying that, he and the queen went to the back garden.

He Qing went back and wrote a memorial.

The next morning at court, he placed the memorial on top on purpose.

After taking a look at Xiao Dezi, he immediately understood.

"Your Majesty, there is still a memorial that you haven't read yet." Xiao Dezi took He Qing's memorial and placed it in front of the emperor.

"Lord He Qing has taken the initiative to propose to serve in Western Xinjiang. Do you have any objections?"

The ministers looked at each other, and there was really some disagreement.

It would be fine if the prince was demoted and sent to work in Western Xinjiang.

What does He Qing mean?

What was there in that place that was worth him going to? He was completely puzzled.

Everyone knows that He Qing is the Queen's nephew. If the Crown Prince had not returned, he might have been the candidate for the Crown Prince.

Now he has been quiet for a long time, what is he doing now?

"No one said anything, just no objection."

"Pass on my oral order: Lord He Qinghe has volunteered to go to Western Xinjiang to serve as the deputy commander, and will set off on a chosen day. I decree this!"

When everyone heard that he was still a deputy commander.

They were all unconsciously shocked.

But looking at He Qing's happy expression, they still felt that they were just meddling in other people's business.

When Zhu Zhengting heard that He Qing came to Western Xinjiang to serve as deputy commander, he didn't know why.

The incident in Meizhou Pu has not been fully investigated yet.

The emperor sent a special envoy and then a deputy commander. It seems that his deputy commander is also unstable.

And with He Qing's arrival, the news from Kyoto was cut off.

He didn't dare to act rashly before the special envoy took action.

He sent people to inquire about the whereabouts of the Nanyang merchants, but there was no news, which made him upset.

Xia Luo and Situ Jin heard that He Qing came to Western Xinjiang to serve as deputy commander.

At that time, they thought that He Qing was definitely here to make money.

In that case, let He Qing and Zhu Zhengting fight it out.

They reap the benefits.

Without them, they can better develop the local economy.

Xia Luo transferred Xia Yunyuan to Western Xinjiang and asked him to cooperate with the prince to discuss all matters with the Western Region merchants.

Xia Yunyuan is now running his business in Nanyang in full swing.

Xia Luo asked her uncle Tiebushan to go to southern Xinjiang to take over Xia Yunyuan's business.

She uses everyone to the fullest.

When Xia Yunyuan came to Western Xinjiang, he happened to meet He Qing at the South Gate. He Qing was familiar with this businessman because he was the cousin of the prince and his family was all in business, so He Qing paid more attention to him.

"Boss Xia, what brings you to Xinjiang?" He Qing said to Xia Yunyuan jokingly.

"My cousin is the prefect here, so of course I came here to do business!"

"Master He is here to discuss business as well?"

"The imperial court sent me to guard our border." He Qing's pride was evident in his words.

"Then I'll have to trouble Lord He to take care of me in the future. I'm really sorry to trouble you." Xia Yunyuan exchanged a few words of greeting and walked straight towards the tent.

Xia Luo and Situ Jin never appeared in front of He Qing.

So he didn't know that Situ Jin and Xia Luo were also in Western Xinjiang.

Situ Jin asked Zhang Jierui and Zhu Zhengting to explain the scope of the city defense.

Then he was assigned to be in charge of the southern city gate of the northern border.

Zhang Jierui is the commander in charge of the East Gate and is temporarily serving as the chief commander.

So Zhang Jierui can go to the entire city gate.

Situ Jin also wanted him to find out information.

Zhu Zhengting is the commander in charge of the North Gate.

In the past, Zhu Zhengting was the commander in charge of the West Gate.

He was deliberately transferred away this time, and it can be seen that he is worried.

They just wait for him to take action so that they can strike.

Xia Luo and Situ Jin went to look after Ximen.

Because the West Gate is the only way for merchants from the Western Regions to pass through.

It is also the location of the underground castle.

Situ Jin was afraid of alerting the enemy, so he did not go to Meizhou Pu's house to search it in a big way.

Just leave it alone for now, they can't escape.

Charlotte also knew that there must be a lot of ill-gotten gains in Meizhou Pu's residence.

But for the sake of the overall situation, she held back and did not move.

Because since Meizhou Pu could build such a large castle, it is not as simple as just thirty-five guards. The swordsman in Jianxia Valley is an example.

If there is a castle like this in another location, housing thousands of elite soldiers, wouldn't they be attacked from both sides?

Don't act rashly without thorough investigation.
