Xie Xun and Xie Jue originally agreed that after the first lunar month, Xie Jue was sent as an envoy to Sang Nan. Xie Xun completely let go and left everything to Xie Jue to prepare, etiquette, how many people to bring, who to take, etc., Xie Jue was the only one Come and decide, Xie Xun should not interfere. Marshal Fang’s subtext is that Sang Nan can fight and there is no need to send an envoy. He seems to be a little worried about Xie Jue’s envoy to Sang Nan. In fact, Lin Heli also talked to him privately about the matter of sending Sang Nan as an envoy. You can wait for a while, Han Ziqi contacted Dugu Jing in Beijing, and deliberately waited until the Beiman surrendered before returning to Sangnan. Xie Jue's mission to Sangnan was full of dangers. What if Sangnan made a desperate move and wanted to use Xie Jue to blackmail Beining?
If you still want to go on an envoy, you can go to Sangnan with another person.

The commander-in-chief is not worried about Xie Jue's identity, but also because he is afraid that the Sangnan royal family will go back on their word. He rashly planned to attack the Twelve States because of Xie Jue's identity. If he goes to Sangnan, everything in other people's territory will be unknown. What if there is something wrong? Dangerous and difficult to rescue.

Xie Jue looked at the falling snow and said, "Going as an envoy after the first lunar month is a national policy and there is no need to change it."

The commander-in-chief didn't say much after receiving the confirmation. Fang Chuning's expression darkened and he said nothing with a cold face. The commander-in-chief said, "In that case, let Tunan go on the mission with you."

Xie Jue frowned and subconsciously refused, "I have finalized the list of personnel for the envoy. We will discuss it in the morning after the new year. Chu Ning should have arrangements after the new year, so there is no need to follow me to Sangnan."

Xie Xun, "..."

To be honest, he didn't know what Fang Chuning's arrangements would be after the new year. Fang Chuning said that he would go on a mission with Xie Jue. Once the matter was settled, Xie Xun never thought of any changes, so he did not arrange any work for Fang Chuning. .

Marshal Fang knew as soon as he heard that they were really having a bad temper. If Fang Chuning usually came out to refute, now he was silent, like an invisible man.

"Your Majesty, what are my plans after the new year?" Fang Chuning asked slowly after drinking a glass of wine.

There was water on the stove to warm the wine, but Fang Chuning liked to drink cold wine in winter. He already had an empty wine flask in his hand. Xie Xun watched him pour himself a drink, but he couldn't answer for a moment, "I haven't thought about it yet."

Fang Chuning was a general. After the Northern Barbarians were pacified, there were several veteran generals stationed in Ningzhou. There was no need to send any more military generals. Even if they had to be sent, they would still be a group of Ningzhou generals.

Returning to Zhongzhou is a good choice, but the general is stationed in Jiangnan. It is not appropriate to release Fang Chuning in Zhongzhou. It can easily lead to the situation of the Zhenbei Houfu of the Yuwen Dynasty. This must be avoided, so how to arrange it has become a difficult problem. .If he insists on sending to Zhongzhou, no matter who he sends, Zhongzhou will not be able to suppress Fang Chuning.

Unless the second brother is guarding it, it is the best choice for Fang Chuning to go on the mission with the second brother. Xie Xun will make arrangements after they return from the mission.

The commander suddenly said, "I am already old. After Jiangnan is completely stabilized by the end of next year, I can remove my armor and return to my fields. Tunan can go to Jiangnan to garrison. What does the emperor think?"

"The commander-in-chief is in his prime, why should he take off his armor and return home so early?" Xie Xun said calmly. This was the best choice, but he and Xie Jue couldn't propose it. It would be best if the commander-in-chief proposed it.

The commander-in-chief is indeed still in his prime. If he wants to stay in Jiangnan for another ten years, there will be no problem.

The commander-in-chief said, "I have been stationed in Jiangnan all year round. I spend less time with my family and spend more time away from my family. I feel deeply indebted. If Jiangnan is stable, it will be time for me to step down from my post and spend time with my family. I hope the emperor will fulfill my wish."

Fang Chuning was indifferent. He stared at the wine in the glass and didn't know what he was thinking. Xie Jue couldn't help but look over. Some people are destined to attract all your attention. Even if he repeatedly warned himself not to cross the line, he would still be out of control. Looking at him, no matter how calm his expression was, his eyes would always reveal his thoughts.

"Who cares about you being in Beijing all year round!" Fang Chuning sneered coldly, his voice was neither loud nor quiet, just enough for everyone to hear. Xie Xun looked at the marshal's gloomy face and gave him a thumbs up in his heart.Marshal Fang was concerned about Xie Xun's presence and did not get angry. Mr. Li Er smoothed things over and said, "We have been busy all year, and it's time to relax and unwind on New Year's Eve. Let's not talk about these state affairs. Come and have a drink. Your Majesty, ministers Fill it up for you.”

Mr. Li Er filled everyone's glasses with wine, and Fang Chuning just accepted it with just a taunt. The commander did not respond, so he calmed down and turned his head to meet Xie Jue's worried eyes. Fang Chuning calmly averted his eyes.The flower boat of Peony House was not far away, and the sound of pipa music could be heard faintly. Several people were drinking and listening to the music, and occasionally talked about homely things, but the atmosphere was not lively at all.

Master Li Er touched the cold sweat on his forehead and regretted getting on the Fang family's flower boat. Who knew that after meeting God, the atmosphere would be so solemn.

Xie Xun secretly thought, was it because he came and talked about Sang Nan that the atmosphere was so heavy?What were they talking about before he came?

Xie Xun and Xie Jue didn't stay on the Fang family flower boat for too long. Half an hour later, Xie Xun and Xie Jue left with Feng Yu and Ruyi without disturbing their family's New Year's Eve celebration.

After boarding his flower boat, Xie Xun asked, "Second brother, what's going on with the Marshal and Fang Chuning?"

Although the father-son relationship between the Marshal and Fang Chuning is tense, they maintain it well in front of outsiders. What's more, now that Xie Xun has ascended the throne, Fang Chuning has a good temper and a good personality, and will not openly embarrass the Marshal.

Xie Jue held Ruyi's hand absentmindedly and shook his head. He and Fang Chuning hadn't had a good word with each other for a while, so he didn't know what happened to the Fang family.

Feng Yu knew a few things, but she pretended not to know anything about her elders. She touched Ruyi's round face and asked, "Does Ruyi like to swim in the lake and look at the lanterns?"

"I like it, but Ruyi is hungry."

A few people laughed and stopped worrying about the subtle atmosphere on the flower boat. Xie Xun ordered people to prepare food, so they ate on the boat. It was also a new experience for Ruyi, and they became a family of four to celebrate New Year's Eve.

After the meal, several people rushed back to the palace to watch the New Year together before Zishi. Ruyi received three big red envelopes from his father, brother-in-law and aunt, and smiled from ear to ear as they greeted their elders amidst the fireworks that filled the sky at Zishi.

Looking at Ruyi's clever and pitiful face, Xie Jue couldn't help but laugh.

The new year is here!
After the New Year, the resettlement of the Northern Barbarians was put on the agenda. News came from the Ningzhou border that the Northern Barbarian royal family began to move to Kyoto. Ningzhou cavalry escorted them to Beijing. 10 people entered Ningzhou. From Ningzhou Escorted to Yunzhou and Huangzhou, most of the people stayed outside Ningzhou City, waiting for arrangements from the capitals of the twelve states.

In the middle of the capital, it was quickly decided where to place the Northern Barbarian royal family. Xie Xun arranged for the Northern Barbarian royal family to be housed in Chenjiayuan in the west of the city. That area was originally the residence of the Kyoto guards. The Kyoto guards relocated and gave the place to Northern barbarian royal family.

However, General Cui from Ningzhou later handed a letter home to Xie Xun, saying something that shocked Xie Xun. General Cui said in the letter that Xie Jue actually got married in the Northern Barbarians. It was not a fake show. They are a real couple who have worshiped the gods.The King of the Northern Barbarians brought Xie Jue's wife and her mother's clan to Kyoto, saying that they wanted to recognize their relatives.

Xie Xun, "..."
