Chapter 1111 Full of joy
Cai Yan was taken aback. "Not going back to the Central Plains?"

"Well, they only want to rule the country, so I just let go and see how far they can go when they show their skills. If they can really assist the prince and manage the Central Plains in an orderly manner, the country will be peaceful and the people will be safe, why should I come back to trouble?"

Liu Xie reached out to pick up the teacup on the table, Cai Yan understood, got up immediately, picked up the teapot, and poured a cup of tea for Liu Xie.

Liu Xie picked up his teacup, looked at the curling tea mist, and said unhurriedly: "The Western Regions are vast, with mixed races. They are similar to the feudal kingdoms of Xia and Shang, and they need people to sit in charge more than the Central Plains. I don't worry about others. I'd better personally It's better to deal with. So, as long as there is no big trouble in the Central Plains, I may not come back."

Cai Yan clasped his hands together and shielded his eyes, the disappointment in his eyes couldn't be concealed. "So, if I have any problems in the future, I can only communicate with His Majesty Hongyan?"

Liu Xie hesitated for a moment. "The Western Regions... are very bitter, and they are thousands of miles away. After a hundred years, I'm afraid they will be buried in a foreign land."

Cai Yan laughed silently. "Your Majesty said so, but I think of someone."

"Who?"

"Mrs. Feng."

Liu Xie thought for a moment, then shook his head. "I haven't heard of it, please ask Shi to clarify."

"Mrs. Feng was originally the servant of Princess Jieyou. Although she is a woman, she is familiar with history books and is quite talented. She may also be from a noble family. She followed Princess Jieyou to Wusun, holding books as the princess's envoy, and gave rewards to various countries. Prestige. Later, she married Wusun Right General, and cooperated with Zheng Ji, the governor of the Western Regions, saying that the Wusun born to the princess who surrendered to the Xiongnu would be slaughtered, so that Wusun could avoid a civil war."

While explaining, Cai Yan got up and turned out a volume of "Hanshu", turned to a page, and handed it to Liu Xie.

"A woman can be famous in history with her achievements, and she can be regarded as a heroine. It's a pity that I don't have the power to restrain a chicken. Even if I want to follow the predecessors and serve Your Majesty, I don't have such an honor."

Liu Xie raised his eyelids. "Ling Shi not afraid of the suffering of the Western Regions?"

Cai Yan met Liu Xie's gaze. "Is the Western Region more bitter than Liangzhou?"

"The pain in the Western Regions is not only physical pain, but also homesickness..."

"Girls in the world, if you get married, you will be from a foreign land. Why should you be afraid?" Cai Yan was a little anxious, not caring about being rude. .”

Liu Xie nodded, put down the scroll in his hand, crossed his fingers, placed it in front of his stomach, and thought for a while.

"Do you have any uncles or brothers?"

"Although the Chenliucai family is not as good as the Yuan family in Runan, they are still prosperous."

"Then you draw up a list to see who can become an official and who is willing to go west. I will try my best to arrange it so that you don't have to worry about it."

Cai Yan stared at Liu Xie for a moment, then bowed.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Liu Xie sighed, leaned forward, and gently put his hand on Cai Yan's shoulder. "I can only do this right now, I feel wronged."

Cai Yan smiled with tears in his eyes. "The minister is full of joy and has no grievances."

Yuan Heng got off the watch and went back to his residence.

When she walked past Cai Yan's dark study, she glanced inadvertently, and suddenly found Cai Yan sitting in front of the window.The moonlight came in from the window and fell on her face, casting a soft light like water.

Yuan Heng froze for a moment, then reached out and tapped on the edge of the window.

Cai Yan turned her head slowly, glanced at Yuan Heng, and raised her hand to gently wipe the corners of her eyes. "It's Ah Heng, are you back?"

Seeing the tear stains on Cai Yan's face, Yuan Heng's heart tightened.

"sister?"

"I'm fine." Cai Yan said with a smile, "I'm happy."

Yuan Heng heaved a sigh of relief, turned his worries into joy, walked quickly to the window, leaned on the window, stared at Cai Yan, and asked in a low voice: "Has your Majesty come down?"

"I've been here." Cai Yan pointed to the unpacked manuscripts on the case, saw the teacup Liu Xie had used at a glance, recalled Liu Xie's expression at that time, couldn't help feeling warm in his heart, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Yuan Heng also saw the cup, then looked at Cai Yan, knowing that the result was very good, he was immediately elated.

"Sister, tell me."

Cai Yan gave Yuan Heng a white look and beckoned. "Come in and talk."

"Okay." Yuan Heng jumped up, turned around and entered the door, lit the lamp, re-boiled tea, fetched water, and asked Cai Yan to wash his face.After the two sat down again, Cai Yan explained what had happened, but concealed Liu Xie's plan that he might not return to the Central Plains.

Yuan Heng listened carefully, and finally pursed his lips and smiled. "Congratulations, sister's wish has been granted."

"It doesn't mean anything just to accompany him on the westward journey." Cai Yan was a little embarrassed, and concealed: "It's you, have you ever thought about whether you want to go westward with him?"

"Him?" Yuan Heng chuckled lightly. "My sister can't help herself."

Cai Yan knew she had made a slip of the tongue, and her face was a little hot, but she didn't hide it anymore.

She and Yuan Heng are both teachers and friends, and their friendship has long surpassed that of ordinary boudoir close friends.Today's opportunity was created by Yuan Heng for her.And when she got the emperor's promise, when she was excited, the first thing she thought of was whether Yuan Heng would go west with the emperor.

In front of the emperor, she insisted that a place of peace of mind is her hometown, but in her heart, she still hoped to have good friends as companions.

The emperor didn't say who else he would bring besides her, so she naturally hoped that Yuan Heng could go with her.

After a few words of teasing, Yuan Heng put away his smile and turned his head to look out the window. "I didn't care about whether to go or stay. Since my sister is going west, I am naturally willing to accompany her for a while, but I don't know if the emperor is willing to take me. You also know that I am not alone after all. The brand cannot be removed."

Cai Yan nodded, feeling the same way.

She had also heard a lot of similar remarks recently. When the hussar general Zhang Ji returned to Wancheng, he complained that the emperor relied too much on the Yanyu people, so that Ding Chongjiu occupied the magpie's nest and took away his military power.

He didn't know at all that the emperor was most afraid of the Ruying people, who had been suppressing the Ruying people intentionally or unintentionally.However, there are many talents in Ruying, and the emperor can't make it too obvious, so the influence of Ruying people is inevitably growing.

As far as Zhang Ji himself is concerned, rather than saying that Ruying is powerful, it is better to say that he himself is to blame.

He also didn't think about how he came to be a hussar general, and how he was so confused during the battle of Huayin that he almost ruined the emperor's important affairs.If the emperor hadn't taken care of the overall situation, he would have taken his life long ago. It was not just as simple as seizing military power.

But public opinion is always blind, not everyone can be as clear-headed as she is, and the emperor can't help but have scruples.

Under such circumstances, the emperor still decided to take her westward, which was beyond her surprise.

"That being said, you don't have to worry too much about it. The Western Regions are vast and there is an urgent need for talents. If Ruying people are willing to serve in the Western Regions like Xun Yun, it is better than staying in the Central Plains to form a party. With the means of the Son of Heaven, forgive them. What kind of storm is coming."

"My sister is right." Yuan Heng giggled and cheered up again. "My Aunt, as long as my elder brother is fine, he is satisfied. When he chose a son-in-law for my sister, he didn't care what my sister thought. When he ordered me to go west, he didn't ask me if I was willing. Now I just walked a little farther, and my sister is with me, so there is nothing to worry about."
