Emperor Ulei changed the subject and said:

"I hope it will be of no use. I still have to make full preparations. Liuzhen, I plan to form a Chinese army composed of Han people, led by Xie Yuan. Do you think it is feasible at this time?"

Shen Liuzhen was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then after thinking about it carefully, he lowered his eyes and said:

"This matter requires the support of the clan elders. With their support, there will be less resistance in public opinion. If they oppose it, it will be difficult to handle..."

Ulay sighed, turned around and sat in his seat, and said:
"So, you give me an idea. Forming a Han Chinese army, on the one hand, can alleviate the problem of the lack of population and insufficient strength of the Hu people, and on the other hand, it can also improve the status of the Han people and promote the equality of the Hu and Han. What's more, if there is going to be a war in the south at that time, they will attack with Zhuzhu from the north and the south, and the troops will be sufficient, and the chances of winning will be greater.

To be honest, many of these people are afraid to use them now. If you use them, you must meet their needs and give them enough benefits. If you give them enough benefits, it will inevitably harm the interests of the Han people. ..."

As he spoke, he dug up the chess pieces in the chess cup with his hands, and threw them back angrily. When he turned his head and saw Shen Liuzhen still standing, he stretched out his hand and pointed to the opposite side, and said:

"sit."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." After bowing his hands and saluting, Shen Liuzhen obediently sat across from him, and as usual, dropped a chess piece on the chessboard.

He blocked his wide sleeves, his eyes flickered, and he said slowly:

"It's not impossible to do it now. I'm afraid there will be many people who oppose the formation of a purely Han Chinese army. But if we take a step back and take the best in the country in the name of expanding the army, regardless of Hu Han, regardless of origin, form a Chinese army." If you are in the Chinese army, the resistance will be much smaller, and if you lobby a few clan elders, there is still great hope."

Ulay also dropped a pawn, blinked and said:
"This is also a way... You haven't said yet, is it feasible for Xie Yuan to lead the army?"

Shen Liuzhen's eyes widened, and he took it for granted, and said:

"Of course, why not? There is no one in the world who is more suitable to lead the army than A Yuan."

When Ulay heard this, he burst out laughing immediately, his voice held in his chest, "giggling", he rubbed the bridge of his nose with the finger holding the chess piece, and said:
"It's over, your family, A Yuan, is not here, and she can't hear you when you say these words."

"I'm telling the truth, I have to say that whether she can hear me or not. Your Majesty, you think, because A Yuan was fighting again a while ago, and he was also in charge of the commander of the western camp, how much money he had accumulated among the Xianbei people?" some prestige.

In addition, I compiled some of her deeds into storytelling jokes and songs, which can be told and sung by others. These are more or less useful. I think it is no problem for her to lead troops now. "

While speaking, Shen Liuzhen suddenly thought of something, stood up from his seat again, bowed his hands exaggeratedly at Emperor Wu Lei, and said:

"I still want to replace Xie Yuan, thank you for your trust and reuse, thank you, Your Majesty Long En."

Wu Lei understood Shen Liuzhen's little thought too well, he held the chess piece in his hand, looked at him with a funny face, and said:

"If you think you thanked me in advance, I can't change my mind, cut..."

Emperor Ulei deliberately turned his face away and snorted coldly, his appearance was quite arrogant, but he quickly changed his attitude and said:
"Go and call Xie Yuan. I want to ask her not to ask you."

Upon hearing this, Shen Liuzhen smiled so much that his two dimples were exposed, and he bowed to the emperor again, almost bending into the ground, and said:
"The minister leads the order."

In the end, maybe he was too excited, or the action was too violent, and he couldn't help coughing again. He quickly took out the handkerchief from his cuff, turned around, and covered his mouth.

Seeing him like this, the emperor quickly got up to pick up the tea placed beside him, but the water poured out and felt half-lukewarm, so he yelled at the eunuch outside the Nuan Pavilion:
"Come here, exchange hot tea!"

Shen Liuzhen waved his hands and said tearfully, "It's okay, Your Majesty."

As soon as the words were finished, the little eunuch came trotting all the way, replaced the original teapot, and poured a glass of water, looking as if he was going to offer it to the emperor with both hands.

Ulay waved his hand and said, "To Shizhong Shen."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Shen Liuzhen smiled cutely and sweetly, his eyes flashed with warmth, he took the teacup from the little eunuch's hand, and drank it slowly.

Emperor Ulay looked at him, couldn't help but sighed, and said angrily:
"It's all my fault... If I knew that you could cause the root cause of the disease, then I shouldn't have slept back then and called you into the palace earlier. You are too stupid, why do you have to kneel in the snow all night?"

Holding the teacup in both hands, Shen Liuzhen said with a smile, "Isn't it normal for me to be worried when I did something wrong? How can you blame Your Majesty?"

When the emperor heard this, he lowered his eyes and remained silent for a while, then said:
"Liu Zhen, as long as you don't commit treason or treason against me, I will never kill you. This is the promise of the king of a country. You don't have to hurt your body because of fear in the future."

Shen Liuzhen vaguely felt that Wu Lei actually knew what he had lied in his heart, but he didn't intend to argue with him.

Shen Liuzhen couldn't help being moved and guilty at the same time.

He lowered his head slightly, and said solemnly: "Your Majesty's kindness to me, I know..."

He still wanted to say something, but those words that showed loyalty, which were usually easy to say, were suddenly at a loss for words at this time, and he felt that they were too heavy, and they seemed insincere when he said them, so he didn't really want to say them.

……

……

When Shen Liuzhen returned home, he told Xie Yuan the good news. He was as happy as if he had been promoted.

No, he himself was not so happy when he was promoted.

"A Yuan... you can finally lead the army again, are you happy?"

At that time, Xie Yuan was practicing sword in the courtyard for the prince to watch.

The prince dragged his chin and sat on the steps of the corridor, looking at Xie Yuan for a while, and Shen Liuzhen who was chasing after Xie Yuan for a while, with a pair of big bright eyes gurgling.

After hearing this, Xie Yuan just finished dancing, put the long sword into the sheath, looked at Shen Liuzhen and smiled slightly, and said:

"I'm happy, but isn't it still decided? Although His Majesty is interested, it may not be possible."

Shen Liuzhen let out an "ah" and said:

"It's up to people, let me arrange it. By the way, His Majesty invites you to have an audience, and I have something to ask you."

Xie Yuan suddenly opened his eyes wide, and said in surprise:
"Why didn't you say it earlier? Ask His Majesty to wait for me?"

"Didn't I say that it's not too late now, His Majesty originally asked you to go to his place when you enter the palace after teaching the prince, don't worry.

Xie Yuan rolled his eyes at him, and said, "I really can't stand you. I'm not in a hurry. It took me a while just to chat."

Then he took the prince into the palace in a hurry.
