Han Dao world

Chapter 449
After getting out of the imperial tent, standing under the starlight, looking at the snow-covered mountains in the distance, Jia Xu shivered as the cold night wind blew, and suddenly felt a heavy weight on her shoulders.

The four words "why fight" seem simple, but there are subtleties when you look closely.

If it's just for promotion, or even for personal fame and fortune like Han Sui's, it's definitely not acceptable to the emperor.The emperor needs to turn Liangzhou into a solid cornerstone of the imperial court, not a capital for some people to separate one side, let alone a source of disaster.

How can we solve this problem?Jia Xu didn't have much idea at the moment.

He stood for a while before he started to walk slowly along the camp.

In the big tent, Liu Xie packed up the documents on the case, and said to Cai Yan who was still rushing to write: "You should also go to bed early and don't stay up late. There will be time to sort out these records tomorrow."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern." Cai Yan didn't lift her head. "I have to sketch during the day, so I can only deal with it at night. Besides, it is quiet at night, so I can concentrate and be more efficient."

"Is that painting still unfinished?"

"After your majesty's military discussion, General Zhenxi will definitely adjust, and my painting will naturally also adjust." Cai Yan finished writing a line, put down the pen, rubbed his wrist, and said with a smile: "New Year is coming, if If you can get the moistening pen earlier, you can also make a profit for yourself."

Liu Xie smacked his lips. "Ling Shi, the court has failed you, so let's keep the account for now, and I will definitely pay you back in the future."

"Is it the court's return, or His Majesty's return?" Cai Yan rolled his eyes, and a slight smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Is there a difference?"

"If the court pays back, it may be returned by your majesty, or by the heir. The time is uncertain, and the minister may not be able to count on it. Maybe it will be expected by his descendants. If it is returned by your majesty, the minister is about the same age as your majesty, so you should be able to count on it." .”

Liu Xie laughed. "The debts I owe, I will pay."

"The minister is waiting." Cai Yan got up, walked to Lan Qi, picked up Liu Xie's cloak, and put it on Liu Xie. "It's getting late. Your Majesty has also been busy all day. Go to see Mr. Xun Gui. Let's rest early. After writing this, I can also rest."

Liu Xie nodded, wrapped his cloak tightly, walked to the door of the tent, and stopped again. "Ling Shi, if you have your eyes on someone and it's inconvenient for you to speak, you might as well tell me, and I can recommend it for you."

Cai Yan was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "If there is a suitable candidate, I must ask His Majesty for help."

Liu Xie turned around and walked out of the cloud. Cai Yan looked at his back, lost his mind for a while, then returned to the firepit, turned on the fire, and prepared to continue working.After a while, the beauty He Shan came in with a pot of milk tea, poured out the half-cold milk tea on Cai Yan's table, added a new cup, and sat aside, grinding ink for Cai Yan.

Cai Yan didn't lift her head. "The emperor asked you to come?"

He Shan smiled obediently and said: "The emperor asked me to accompany Ling Shi and do what I can. The emperor also said that Ling Shi can only go to Haishi at the latest, and must go to bed before Zishi."

Cai Yan looked up at the clepsydra in the corner of the tent, then looked at the unfinished documents on the case, her eyebrows slightly frowned. "I'm afraid we won't be able to finish tidying up until the ugly hour today."

"If you can't finish tidying up, just keep it and let others handle it tomorrow." He Shan said, "Or Ling Shi can ask someone to help."

Just as Cai Yan was about to refuse, his heart suddenly moved. "Did the emperor say who to look for?"

"Let Shi decide for himself."

Cai Yan put down the document in his hand, took a piece of paper, wrote a name on it, and handed it to He Shan. "I want to ask this person for help. Go ask the emperor for instructions. If it is feasible, please come for me."

He Shan took the paper, got up and left the tent, and went to Xun Wenqian's big tent next door.

Liu Xie was sitting and talking to Xun Wenqian, Hu Xiu and Mrs. Wei were beside him.He Shan came in, handed the name written by Cai Yan to Liu Xie, and explained the situation. Liu Xie took a look, saw Wang Yi's name written on it, and nodded.

"Go to the women's camp, and ask the chief bookkeeper Wang Yi and Yuan Quan to go to the imperial tent to help."

He Shan asked puzzledly: "Your Majesty, isn't there only one person's name on it?"

Xun Wenqian's eyes were sharp, she glanced at the name on the paper, and said, "Your Majesty, Yuan Quan's status is different, so I'm afraid he is not suitable to enter the imperial tent?"

Liu Xie didn't say anything, but just signaled He Shan to follow suit.He Shan turned around and left, Liu Xie turned back and said to Xun Wenqian: "Zhao Ji is a measured person, Yuan Quan also knows the general situation, they will not mess around."

Xun Wenqian nodded in agreement, and said, "Zhaoji has been working hard recently, and it's good to have Yuan Quan accompany her to talk."

"Now you know how hard it is for a woman to be an official." Liu Xie held Xun Wenqian's hand and patted it lightly. "Zhaoji is not married. If she becomes married, becomes pregnant, or has a child, I'm afraid it will be ten times harder."

Xun Wenqian rolled her eyes. "So, the reason why women ruled in ancient times, but now only men rule, is it related to women's fertility?"

Liu Xie was surprised. "You can know the three corners by taking one corner, you are indeed a smart person."

Xun Wenqian smiled embarrassedly. "Your Majesty's praise, I dare not be a concubine."

Mrs. Wei and Hu Xiu stared at each other, confused, and had no idea what Liu Xie and Xun Wenqian were talking about.

-

Wang Yi and Yuan Quan came here, and Cai Yan had already sorted out the documents in the imperial tent, sorted out a book case, placed all the documents that needed to be processed on it, and prepared the pen, ink and paper.

Seeing Yuan Quan also walking in, Cai Yan was a little surprised, and hurriedly got up to greet him.

"I'll come here according to the imperial edict, please order Shi to make arrangements." Wang Yi and Yuan Quan bowed and said.

Cai Yan returned the gift, led Wang Yi to the desk, and pointed to the documents on the desk. "Wenxiu, you transcribe these records and ask me if you can't see clearly."

Wang Yi responded, and sat down at the seat designated by Cai Yan, not daring to take a second look at the emperor's case beside him.

Cai Yan led Yuan Quan to his case, pulled her to sit down, and smiled at each other.

Yuan Quan said in a low voice: "Ling Shi, I'm afraid it's inappropriate for me to be here?"

Cai Yan didn't speak, took the piece of paper from He Shan, and spread it in front of Yuan Quan.Yuan Quan took a look and couldn't help being surprised.

"Why is this?"

"Your Majesty believes in you." Cai Yan said in a low voice: "My sister is diligent in her duties, the emperor sees it, and is willing to give her more opportunities. My sister must not miss it."

Yuan Quan nodded silently. "The temperament of the Son of Heaven is indeed different. With such an enlightened master, the great man will be able to rejuvenate."

Before the words fell, Wang Yi on the opposite side let out an exclamation.Yuan Quan turned his head to look, and saw Wang Yi holding a piece of paper, his face beaming with joy.Cai Yan was very calm.What Wang Yi got was the content of the discussion between the emperor and Jia Xu just now, which was related to the revitalization of Liangzhou. As a Liangzhou native, Wang Yi was naturally happy.

Seeing that Cai Yan was as calm as ever, Yuan Quan was surprised, but he didn't say much.

Cai Yan took a document. "Sister, just copy these."

Yuan Quan took the document, looked at it for a while, and couldn't help but exclaim. "No wonder they kept laughing after they returned to the camp. It turned out to be true?"

Cai Yan smiled sweetly. "Of course it's true. The women's battalion is a blockbuster today. It's a big hit. Your hard work for so many days has paid off. You weren't there. I don't know how surprised those men were, especially those two bearded women. When the spear breaks the shield."

"It's a pity we're not here." Wang Yi regretted. "It would be an honor to see it with my own eyes."

"There will be a chance." Cai Yan said, "How can you, a military advisor, be absent from the battle in the future?"

"Women go to battle..." Yuan Quan flipped through the scribbled records, his eyes full of envy.
