Hand over the jade seal first [Infrastructure]

Xiao Xuexing was helpless: "You really don't worry about it at all."

He actually forgot about such a big matter.

Xiao Zirong indeed forgot, or deliberately avoided, not wanting to think about a series of troublesome things that Xiao Xuan's coming might bring.

But now that Xiao Xuexing mentioned it, he had no choice but to say: "I haven't forgotten, didn't I say that I'm leaving today? It takes seven or eight days to travel from Jiankang to Nanyanzhou, right? Why do I have to go there so early?"

If you are on a serious journey, it will take about five or six days, but the emperor will definitely not travel in such a hurry like ordinary people, not to mention that there are many people and you can't be in a hurry, so walking for seven or eight days is fast.

If we set off today, why would it take several days to come here? The day after tomorrow... that is, the fourth day of the junior high school, why did Xiao Xuexing go there so early?

Xiao Xuexing reached out and tapped his forehead and said, "That's welcome, don't you want to prepare in advance?"

Regardless of whether the two of them often make Xiao Xuan jump in anger, Xiao Xuexing still does a good job in serious matters, and rarely opposes Xiao Xuan in government affairs. As long as what Xiao Xuan wants to do is not particularly whimsical, he will can help.

On the bright side, Xiao Xuan was even more respectful. It can be said that when Xiao Xuan first came to the throne, there was only one man, Xiao Xuexing, who really regarded him as the emperor.

Otherwise, how could Xiao Xuan indulge him so much without abolishing his throne?

Xiao Xuan is not stupid, especially after Xiao Xuexing devoted himself to finding his younger brother, he did everything because he had a sense of responsibility. After observing for a while, Xiao Xuan found that this person really didn't care about the throne, so he felt instantly relieved. few.

He was not narrow-minded, not to mention he wanted to use Xiao Xuexing to suppress Xiao Yan, so he got along with Xiao Xuexing as a rare monarch and minister.

This time when Xiao Xuan came over, no matter how helpless Xiao Xuexing was, he would make things look better, otherwise if it was spread, there might be trouble on Xiao Yan's side.

After so many comfortable days in Taoyuan City, when he thinks about those annoying intrigues, even he is a little tired, so he really wants to slap all those careless people to death, and the remaining ones who are willing to fight for the country of Qi It is enough to strengthen the people who add bricks and tiles.

But he also knows that this kind of thinking is too naive, even Xiao Zirong's Taoyuan City cannot do without those things, let alone the whole country.

Thinking about it this way, he was actually a little envious of Xiao Zirong.

Wherever there are people, there are all kinds of disputes. If they don't get in front of Xiao Zirong, Xiao Zirong will pretend not to see them, as long as they don't affect the things he ordered.

But once the trouble got in front of him or was hindered by something, then Xiao Zirong would directly turn his face and deny anyone, and one of them would be counted as a direct blow to the matter.

There are no checks and balances or worries, and I am very happy.

Those in power want to be so happy, but behind the happy is that the emperor has no restraint. It's okay to meet someone with a clear mind like Xiao Zirong, but to meet those who are not clear-headed... Think about Dong Hunhou, and think about him again The two grandsons of the adoptive father are good seedlings who have subjugated the country.

Thinking about it this way, Xiao Xuexing felt that Xiao Zirong was very suitable as the heir.

So he is also very contradictory. On the one hand, he hopes that his brother will be happy, and on the other hand, he hopes that Qi will become stronger, and it would be better to regain the territory they lost from the Han family.

This is the scene where he asked Xiao Zirong. Otherwise, Xiao Zirong's throne had not been abolished. Although the situation is a little strange now, how could he not go to greet him now that he is here?

But Xiao Xuexing just didn't want to wrong Xiao Zirong, if Xiao Zirong didn't want to go, he would find other excuses, for example...well, Xiao Zirong was going to prepare for the meeting in Taoyuan City.

Anyway, Xiao Xuan will definitely come to Taoyuan City.

Xiao Zirong was also taken aback after hearing this: "Is there still a choice?"

Xiao Xuexing looked at him and said, "You always have a choice with me."

Xiao Zirong always felt that there was something wrong when he heard it. Isn't this... a word often used in confessions?He thought it was quite sweet when he read it in the book before, but now that he is here with Xiao Xuexing... Well, it is actually quite sweet, although things are different.

He thought about it seriously and said, "Let's go."

He was a lazy person, he didn't want to deal with it, he didn't want to deal with it, but he didn't escape when the matter really came to the fore.

Xiao Xuan had to see him, since he saw him, he should go there openly, and if he couldn't avoid it, then don't hide, so as not to cause troubles.

As for Taoyuan City, there is no need to make special preparations. Anyway, the whole city was cleaned up before Zhengdan, and it looks quite tidy now. Except for the necessary personnel, everyone else will stay in Lifang. What should I do? Why, except that the emperor can't go out and walk around on the day of the emperor's arrival, it doesn't matter.

In fact, if it is not necessary in winter, everyone will not easily go out of Lifang. After all, although the sparrows in Lifang are small and complete, there is nothing special to trade now.

Xiao Zirong didn't take it seriously, but he still wanted to inform his subordinates.

So on the second day of the promised holiday, officials from the four ministries were called over.

The little ladies didn't care either, they lived close to the city lord's mansion, only a few steps away, and they could check with each other when they came over, but no one knew what happened.

When they arrived at the City Lord's Mansion, their jaws almost dropped when they heard Xiao Zirong say that Sheng Jia was coming.

Wei Yun was considered calmer among them, but she still stammered and said, "City...why didn't you say it before the city lord...before?"

Anxious, Wei Yun even brought out her local accent. You must know that she thought she had a different identity before and was already an official, so she had to set an example, so all she said was polite.

Xiao Zirong looked indifferent: "Oh, at that time I was busy celebrating the New Year and forgot."

forget……

forget……

The four ministers looked at each other in blank dismay, unable to understand why such an important matter could be forgotten.

Xiao Zirong avoided Xiao Xuan, but he didn't think the emperor was so scary.

But these days people's fear of the emperor is already deeply rooted.

The biggest official these little ladies met was probably the village head, and they had never even met the county magistrate. Now they are going to meet the emperor suddenly... They feel a little dizzy.

They all asked nervously, "Then... what should I do then?"

Xiao Zirong looked at them a little amusedly and asked: "What are you doing so nervous, the emperor doesn't have much to say, the same two eyes and one mouth, what are you afraid of?"

His attitude somewhat affected the little ladies, Wei Yun calmed down and said, "That...that's different, that's the emperor."

Well, I still stutter a bit.

Xiao Zirong was a little strange: "Xiao Xuexing is still the regent, and I didn't see how much you were afraid of him back then."

Xiao Xue glanced at his brother indistinctly, and felt amused in her heart, this little coward was terrified at first, but now she dares to say that she is not afraid.

How could these little ladies not be afraid of him, their voices were nervous when they greeted him, but because they didn't have much contact with Xiao Xuexing and Xiao Xuexing lived in seclusion, so he couldn't tell.

Wei Yun and the others didn't dare to show their anger. Lu Liuhe saw Xiao Xuexing more often. After all, she brought her little lady to fight with Luoxuewei until now. Seeing that everyone dared not speak at this time, she couldn't help but say it. One sentence: "I'm also... afraid."

Xiao Zirong sighed for a long time: "How can you do this? Your Majesty may see you and ask questions after he comes down."

After hearing this, the little ladies almost fainted without taking a breath.

They were so nervous when they heard that the emperor was coming, they still... still had to meet and ask questions, they... they had bad backgrounds, even worse experiences, and they didn't know much about reading and writing.

Now that I think about it, I regret it... I really regret it, why don't I read some books?

Xiao Xuexing looked at Xiao Zirong's wicked face and couldn't help pinching his earlobe and said, "Okay, Your Majesty is not that scary. You are officials of Taoyuan City, you will get used to it sooner or later."

Wei Yun's eyes were straightened, probably because the news was too scary, they were not so scared when they faced Xiao Xuexing, they just said: "But... But won't we be replaced?"

Wei Yun and the others have more or less read some books, knowing that their situation is rather special and not normal. It was fine if there was no one else before, but now...the lord of their city is King Xuancheng, so...Taoyuan City is his. The court should also take care of the territory, right?

Xiao Xuexing didn't say a word, logically speaking, it must be changed, which is not in line with common sense, but...he reckoned that Xiao Zirong would definitely not want to.

Sure enough, Xiao Zirong said very imposingly: "Whoever says I will let him go!"

Lu Liu's eyes widened: "Then...then if His Majesty..."

Xiao Zirong raised his eyebrows: "What's wrong, Your Majesty? Your Majesty, this is also my territory!"

After finishing speaking, he felt that something was wrong. Strictly speaking, this place was not his territory but Xiao Xuexing's. He took a peek at Xiao Xuexing and found that his brother was looking at him with a very conniving look. I have confidence again.

Xiao Zirong's being so tough also gave confidence to the little ladies. Anyway, they were admitted based on their ability. At the beginning, no one was stronger than them. What did they have to be afraid of?

The very tough Xiao Zirong followed Xiao Xuexing back to Nanyanzhou, and after feeling the tense atmosphere in Nanyanzhou to meet the driver, he suddenly became a little nervous.

Nervous and nervous, he wanted to run away, Xiao Zirong approached Xiao Xuexing and whispered, "Otherwise... I'll go back and get ready too, isn't it bad to be unprepared at all?"

Xiao Xuexing saw through the essence of the little counselor at a glance, and said with a sneer: "If you are afraid, just say it."

Can Xiao Zirong admit it?That must not be admitted, so I can only hold on and say: "Who... who is afraid? How can this be considered fear? I... I am a strategic detour!"
