Zhi Xuan

At the end of the court meeting, the princes and the Zhongdu clan left the palace one after another.But Zhi Xuan was left behind, and the King of People hosted a family banquet for his uncle.

When he stepped out of the main hall, Ren Wang Huai's face was full of red, and he was so excited that he couldn't calm down for a long time.

Zhi Xuan had a panoramic view of his performance, and knew in his heart that the next thing to do would definitely be accomplished.There is no need for him to do anything if there are twists and turns in the middle, Wang Huai will handle it personally to ensure that everything goes smoothly.

When the two of them reached the back hall, servants and maidservants had long been standing in front of the hall.

Queen Ji was in charge of the palace affairs, and when she knew that Renwang was hosting a banquet for Marquis Xiyuan, she personally arranged the rules for the banquet.They also sent someone to invite Yuan Tao to inquire about Zhi Xuan's preferences in detail, so as to avoid any discrepancy in the banquet and attract Xi Yuanhou's displeasure.

Knowing the process of presenting the gift, Queen Yuji invited him, but Yuan Tao did not refuse, and offered to help.

My brother has the ambition to rise to the top of the clouds, and she is willing to do her best.

The royal family cannot be an obstacle, let alone Wang Huai.Even if the elder brother is not afraid of criticism, he should not be misunderstood by the world at will.It is even more important to avoid Xiaoxiao fishing in troubled waters, wantonly criticizing his elder brother, and trying every means to smear his reputation.

After Yuan Tao moved to the palace, she thoroughly learned the ways of the royal family.It is impossible to take people's lives and hurt their muscles and bones, but it is also hard to guard against, and it is really disgusting.

The royal family who died in the hunting ground is one of the best.

Zhi Xuan does not hesitate to bear the notoriety of disrespecting the king, but also wants to eliminate the threat around Yuan Tao.Yuan Tao is grateful to his brother, and hopes to share the burden for his brother because of his limited strength.

Out of this mentality, Zhi Xuan wrote the letter twice, asking her if she wanted to leave Zhongdu City. Yuan Tao's answer was the same as last time, she insisted on staying without any hesitation or hesitation.

She cannot rely on her elder brother to protect her forever. As the daughter of the Yuan clan, she has responsibilities that must be borne.

Queen Ji sent someone to explain the reason for inviting Yuan Tao to come forward.

"Madam, please move." The servant bowed down respectfully, not daring to show any disrespect.

If it was an ordinary banquet, Yuan Tao would not intervene.Both to avoid suspicion and to express her attitude, she has no intention of fighting for the imperial power even with Xiyuan Kingdom behind her.

If it was a family banquet where Zhi Xuan participated, the situation would be completely different.

"The queen has an order, and An dare not obey."

Yuan Tao had already prepared, and immediately got up to go.The left and right maids followed immediately.

Seeing the hulking maid who was half a head taller than him, the waiter swallowed nervously.It wasn't that he was too timid, it was that the maid was too frightening.Not long ago, I witnessed them lift up the servant who disrespected Mrs. Tao and throw them on the ground.

A group of people walked through the corridor, led by the servants, to the palace where Queen Ji lived.

Yuan Tao was thinking all the way, how to behave when he saw Queen Ji.

The king entertained his elder brother in the name of a family banquet, which was of great sincerity.The banquet is carefully arranged as it should be.

However, as a big prince, you must be cautious about food, clothing, housing and transportation.

As for her brother's preferences, she can disclose as she sees fit, but she must hold back and never tell the whole story.It is necessary to promote the smooth progress of the banquet, and it must be separated by a layer of veil, so as not to bring hidden dangers to the elder brother.

The degree must be well grasped.

Since marrying into Zhongdu City, Yuan Tao has been under the care of Queen Ji.The friendship between each other even exceeds that of Wang Huai.But as a daughter of the Yuan family, Yuan Tao knows the words "closeness and distance".

No one can kiss my elder brother no matter how close they are.

When it came to matters concerning Zhi Xuan, her first consideration was her elder brother, a place where anyone would stand back.

Having made up his mind, he naturally had a regulation for the questioning of Queen Ji.

After the two met, Yuan Tao read the list drawn up by Queen Ji, and did not make any deletions, but only added two stir-fried dishes.It does not violate the etiquette, but it can be regarded as the favor of the King of Kings to the Marquis of Xiyuan.

"The palace chef has no skills, so you can leave it to my palace chef."

Due to time constraints, Yuan Tao did not pretend to be modest, and asked Queen Ji in person.

This move hits the heart of Queen Ji.

Previously, the royal family tampered with Yuan Tao's meals, which caused an uproar, and the influence has not been completely eliminated.

Today, the King of People entertained the Marquis of Xiyuan, and the palace was cleaned up from top to bottom, so there would be no problems, but having the Yuantao faction was undoubtedly an extra layer of security.

"good!"

Both Queen Ji and Yuan Tao are not procrastinators, and the regulations were drawn up, so they immediately ordered people to make arrangements.

When the cook in the palace received the order and learned that he was going to entertain the Marquis Xi Yuan, he was excited and panicked.

Marquis Xiyuan is domineering and domineering, and his bravery and brutality are well known throughout the world.

How many people in the world can do it, and who dares to do it.

It is a great honor to host a banquet for Marquis Nishihara, but it is also frightening.In case the meal does not suit the taste of the other party, what should be done if you are accused.

The chefs in the palace were trembling, and their moods became more and more complicated.

The chef from Xiyuan Kingdom came to the scene, and seeing everyone behave like this, he couldn't help but snorted coldly.

Members of the royal family don't think about making progress, and only like to use tricks that are not on the table.The private soldiers of the royal family are weak, and they are not the enemy of the soldiers of the great powers.The palace's cook is so useless, it's really ridiculous to scare a banquet like this.

Really looking down on this group of people, the chef of Xiyuan Kingdom did not hide it, with contempt on his face, and his arrogance to the end.

The cook in the palace was very angry and blushed, but there was nothing he could do about him.

This person was sent to the palace by Marquis Xiyuan, who was responsible for Yuantao's meals, and his salary came from Xiyuan Kingdom, which had nothing to do with the royal palace's dining room.

According to the waiter's suggestion, Mrs. Tao sent him to the kitchen, and Queen Ji nodded in agreement.There is no way to be arrogant, no one present can compare with whoever makes his backing tough.

The chefs were full of anger and had no way to vent, so they could only concentrate on cooking, but suppressed the previous panic and tension.

There was hot air in front of the stove, and the aroma quickly evaporated, which attracted the waiters who were taking meals to probe frequently, only to feel that the aroma was more tangy than before.

The chefs of Xiyuan Kingdom are arrogant and have good craftsmanship.

Witnessing his performance, the chefs in the royal palace were unwilling to lag behind, and tried their best to show their culinary skills to the fullest. Even a simple stewed meat was crispy and rotten, which was extremely tempting.

The waiter who took the meal murmured in his heart: I haven't seen it like this on weekdays, what happened today?

The chefs don't care what the waiter thinks, they just show their skills wholeheartedly, and never want to be suppressed by the other side.

The battlefield is not limited to real swords and guns.

The kitchen before the banquet was also fighting, and the chefs of Xiyuan Kingdom and the palace were fighting.The latter has a large number of people, while the former fights against the crowd and dominates by virtue of its own ability.

The banquet was held in the back hall, and there were only two people at the banquet, Wang Huai and Zhi Xuan.

It's called a family banquet, so naturally it doesn't pay much attention, and there is no need to be strict in everything. The two of them exchanged cups and cups, both showing a bit of ease.

Delicious delicacies are served one after another, and the aromas are alluring, making people salivate.

Finding two stir-fried dishes in front of him, Zhi Xuan tasted them and immediately knew who made them.The man Wang Huai also picked up one chopstick, and immediately followed by the second chopstick and the third chopstick, until he finished the whole dish, he was still unsatisfied.

There is music and dance at the banquet.

Amidst the brisk music, several teenagers and girls walked in wearing silk clothes.

The dancer is tall and tall, with white skin, dark facial features, hair color and eye color that are very different from those of the Central Plains people.

They reminded Zhixuan of the white slaves in Bei'an.

The dancer whirled in the hall, the boy grabbed the colorful silk, and wrapped the other end around the girl's waist. During the rapid rotation, the girl's feet left the ground, and the fragrant wind passed by, as if flying.

After a dance, the dancer leaned on the ground, walked on his knees and exited the hall.

After the music and dance, Wang Huai held up a lamp to respect Zhixuan.

"The prince is full to drink."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Both of them are smart people, and they can know the elegant meaning by listening to string songs.

Wang Huai's previous obsession was mainly because of his lack of experience, but Zhi Xuan took the initiative to hand over an olive branch to make him start to figure it out, and his mind became clear.

After three cups, Zhi Xuan didn't drink any more.

Knowing that the time had come, Wang Huai ordered people to withdraw from the banquet, and served hot soup to sober up, and was going to have a detailed discussion with Zhi Xuan.

"Your Majesty, the Central Plains is not the only place in the world, and the land occupied by Di Rong and barbarians is only a drop in the ocean."

Zhi Xuan knew what Wang Huai was most concerned about, he didn't intend to go around the corner, let alone play tricks, and cut straight to the point, killing with one move.

In the education received by the human Wang Huai, the land is no bigger than the Central Plains, and the barbarians of Di Rong occupy the wild land, which is not good enough.The purpose of the princes guarding the frontier is to drive out the barbarians and keep the peace in all directions.

What Zhi Xuan said subverted his cognition, which made him suddenly unacceptable, but he had to believe that the land outside the Central Plains was not a desert, nor was it worthless.

On the contrary, the two cities in the grassland were established, and the clans of Xiyuan Kingdom and Bei'an Kingdom opened up to the north. In just one year, they achieved fruitful results. There were all kinds of fertile soil and mineral deposits, and the gemstone mine that Zhixuan gave him was one of them.

"Your Majesty, the fertile soil can be plowed, giant trees should be felled, rich ore should be mined, and wild men should be captured. Why can't God not take it?"

While talking, Zhi Xuan took out the silk cloth from his sleeve, unfolded it in front of Wang Huai, and it was a map of northern Xinjiang.

The boundaries on the map are obvious, the developed areas are marked in great detail, and the undeveloped areas are only roughly marked, and most of them are blank.

"There is a big lake in the far north, and there are thousands of fish in the lake, which can walk on the water.

There are dense forests in the north, and towering ancient trees cover the sky and block out the sun.

The deer herd migrates every year and breeds in the pastures by the lake. The population is tens of thousands and inexhaustible.

The forest is full of wild animals and birds, including tigers, leopards and bears.

Your Majesty, there is coal, gold, and colored treasures in this land, and you can fish and pick pearls in the lake. "

Zhi Xuan didn't exaggerate, he just spoke in a straightforward manner.Even so, it opened Wang Huai's eyes and was extremely shocking.

"Can it live ten thousand people?"

"More than 10 people." Zhi Xuan chuckled, randomly circled a piece on the map with his finger, and tapped vigorously, "Here, open up wasteland for grazing, build a city and immigrate, at least [-] people can live here."

Gudong!

Ren Wang Huai's Adam's apple rolled, his heart was on fire, and his mouth felt dry.

"Can you live a hundred thousand?!"

In future generations, it is just a county seat, but at present, cities with 10 people are extremely rare, and cities with [-] people are even rarer.Except for the capital city of Zhongdu and the capitals of the four major vassal states, it is difficult to find one.

Human Wang Huai's heart was beating like a drum, and his excitement was beyond words.

He stared at the map, his eyes were so hot that they could almost penetrate the silk cloth.

What Zhixuan has shown is only the tip of the iceberg, and he has already fascinated him, so what if he continues to explore?I am afraid that the gains will be thousands of times or even ten thousand times.

Marquis Xiyuan has never concealed his attempts for power, but the territory and authority he pursues are far from what the world thinks.If I hadn't guessed wrongly, Marquis Xiyuan's vision was so wide that even the first generation of kings couldn't match it.

When one thought is clear, the clouds clear and the fog clears.

Ren Wang Huai looked at Zhi Xuan with a serious expression, put his hands on his forehead, worshiped his ministers as kings, and was devout and willing.
