wait for another year

As soon as they arrived at Liquan, there was a postman waiting for them as soon as they entered the city gate, welcoming them into the official post very obsequiously.

"My lord," the postman nodded and bowed to Zhao Xu, "Although this is not a big post, it is already a big one on the Northwest Post Road. Please rest assured, the little ones have tidied up the place..."

"Bold!" Xuanyuanhui's close father-in-law, Shou Ning, scolded in a low voice, "I welcome you every day, and I don't look like an ignorant person. Unexpectedly, even the prince can admit his mistake, this is King Su!"

Zhao Xu lowered his head and smiled, Xuanyuan Hui's complexion had already turned dark.

It was Shouning who wronged the postman, both of them were wearing casual clothes, and Zhao Xu was taller than Xuanyuan Huixu, so he was taller and handsome, no wonder the postman admitted his mistake.

"Don't make things difficult for him," Zhao Xu smoothed things over, "Let him lead the way."

The postman gave him a grateful look, "Thank you sir..."

Xuanyuan Hui interrupted him suddenly, "This is my concubine."

It was one who refused to suffer, Zhao Xu looked at the blindfolded postman sympathetically, and took the lead upstairs.

These postmen were very well-informed. When they heard that Su Wang and his wife were newly married, they prepared an upper room for them, dressed in red and green, and just sprinkled some peanuts and red dates on the couch to make a splash.

After simply washing up, the two stood side by side on the long couch covered with red silk, looking at each other.

"Nineteenth Lang," Xuanyuan Hui looked very embarrassed, "Although you and I are acting on occasion, we have to act more realistically, what do you think?"

Zhao Xu smiled faintly, "Not to mention the postmen, even the group of people accompanying us is full of people, just in case, we can only wrong the prince."

Xuanyuan Hui nodded, and suddenly said: "Nineteenth Lang, you and I have known each other not long ago, I'm afraid you don't understand the nature of this king. Although the marriage was arranged without discussing with you this time, it may seem a bit arbitrary to you, but This is forced by the situation, and definitely not my king's original intention."

All the followers were screened back, except for a few ocher-clothed guards, there was no one outside the door.A few days ago, Xuanyuanhui finally found the opportunity to be open and honest.

"I do have a few questions, and I want to ask the prince to clarify."

Xuanyuan Hui personally poured two cups of tea and put them on the table, "Please."

"Firstly, although the minister is not talented, he still has self-knowledge. The sons of the aristocratic family who are proficient in scriptures and good at strategy are definitely not the only one. Why did the prince choose the minister?"

"Secondly, there are many ways to recruit ministers, why must you choose this deviant way?"

"Thirdly, the prince spent a lot of time to recruit his ministers. After all, what he wants is the long-term retainer in the fiefdom, and the humerus of the prime minister in the ruling world..." He paused, narrowing his fox-like eyes, "It's still in troubled times. Where are the counselors and strategists who are swaying all over the place?"

He threw three questions in a row, Xuanyuan Hui felt unable to resist, and said with a wry smile: "The world said that you are good at eloquence, but they underestimated you."

Zhao Xu smiled but did not smile, "Don't dare to lie to the lord, since I was young, I practiced 'smart in deeds, slow in words'."

After days of worry and fatigue, Xuanyuan Hui almost slumped himself on the couch, looked at the carved bed board, "Nineteenth Lang should still remember that father said that at that time, the king picked you out of three families. There are two other people besides you, one is Boling Cui Jinghu, and the other is Fanyang Luyuan."

"They're all too students."

Xuanyuan Hui sighed, "Compared to my second elder brother who has poor legs and feet, the Queen Mother is afraid of me to the bottom of my heart. Wanting to recruit talents openly is undoubtedly a dream. If you are only a capable official who works for me, you can go to the fief to recruit slowly. Or the father sent it through the official department just in time; but if it is a confidant who is discussing the big plan with me... I am afraid that the Deng party will find out if he can't leave Chang'an City. Earlier, the queen mother wanted to establish Xuanyuan Yun, and the father took the opportunity to ask me to take the feudal lord , although the Empress Dowager agrees, she will only do everything possible to make me, the prince, a nameless prince."

"But it's destined to be more than one confidant. Could it be that whoever the lord takes a fancy to in the future, will he accept all of them?" Zhao Xu just felt incredible.

Xuanyuan Hui laughed at himself, "I'm not afraid of Jiujiu Lang's jokes. About [-]% of the [-] people who follow me now are eunuchs, [-]% are civil servants at both ends, [-]% are warriors with insufficient strategies, and [-]% are rough envoys and eunuchs." Palace maid. In other words, you are the only one who can make this king honest with you... and being married to you will ensure that you will not easily betray him."

Zhao Xu clasped his hands and looked down at him without saying a word.

Xuanyuan Hui said to himself: "Your last question, I'm afraid I can't figure it out right now. The Deng family has been in business for several generations, and the family members and in-laws are intertwined and spread all over the court. If one day, they can't restrain their disobedience, the world will be in chaos. This king will never let others slaughter you, then you will be my king's Liangping Guo Xun; if your ancestors protect you, Deng's family is safe, and the third brother is a wise king, then this king will let you go and let you do it Xiao Cao Fangdu; if this king unfortunately dies in the middle way, then this king only asks you to collect my body and bury it in Chang'an for the sake of getting to know each other..."

"Then why not Cui Jinghu and Lu Yuan?"

Xuanyuan Hui turned to look at him, and smiled, "In the family, the three of you can be regarded as a temporary choice. However, Cui Jinghu is not good at general affairs, and Lu Yuan is high and refined, collecting money, recruiting soldiers, buying horses, and buying people's hearts. How can it compare to you? Among other things, Jiujiu Lang has accumulated more land in Zhuangzi's shop than the entire property of King Su's mansion, right?"

Taking advantage of people being so upright and confident, Zhao Xu laughed back angrily, "People don't show their talents, and their wealth doesn't reveal their wealth. This statement is really true."

He got angry, but Xuanyuanhui became happy instead, "What's more, the Zhao family in Yingchuan has been famous for their tumblers since the Deze years. This king would like to see this time being forced to board this broken ship that is destined to sink in Suzhou. Will the Yingchuan Zhao clan still be able to retreat completely?"

"Of course," Xuanyuan Hui's phoenix eyes raised slightly, and he looked at him carefully, pretending to be frivolous, "immediately, Yulang should be drunk in spring, and his body would be covered with fragrant snow and plum blossoms. When King Su saw the princess for the first time, he was shocked as a heavenly man. He couldn't help himself, so he ignored her. Law and ethics, I begged hard for this marriage. If it is not a first-class handsome man, how can it be convincing?"

Xuanyuan Hui is only fifteen years old, and Zhao Xu himself is only seventeen years old. With such a small team of unknown enemies and friends, good and bad, it is almost impossible to achieve success.

He who has just entered the urn understands, but Xuanyuan Hui who has already been in the game will not understand.

But he didn't stay in Beijing to be a wealthy prince who seeks advantages and avoids disadvantages to ensure safety, but he resolutely came to this wild place.

This alone is enough to convince Zhao Xu that despite the decline of the Xuanyuan family, the destiny has not changed.

Zhao Xu suddenly smiled, took off his coat and climbed onto the couch, and lay down beside him, "The night is short, this is the first time for me to go to bed, please take pity on me, my lord."
