Your Majesty the Empress, I am really not a traitor!

Lingyan asked.

"Come with me, just in time, I also want to tell His Majesty about your appointment."

Strictly speaking, he could actually appoint him himself, but Qin Ji felt that if he really didn't speak to Xia Yuxiao, his behavior would give people a reason to attack him.Anyway, Xia Yuxiao would agree in the end, and it was better to say it than to be discovered by Xia Yuxiao later.

"Yes."

Lingyan immediately began to prepare. This time she absorbed her previous experience of entering the palace. She didn't bring any weapons, but only brought a very delicate fan.

Of course, the fan bone is iron, and the tip of the fan bone is sharpened.

........................

Xia Yuxiao seems to be in a good mood today.

This was Qin Ji's first reaction when he saw Xia Yuxiao. Today, the emperor put on the short shirt that he seldom knows how to wear on weekdays. There is a hint of girlish freshness and beauty.

She was teasing her kitten at the moment. It was a new cat, a native cat of the Weixi Empire that was given to Xia Yuxiao by the Weixi Empire before parting.

I don't know if it's because His Majesty is a woman. Many countries like to choose cats when they send Xia Yuxiao pets. As a result, there are several different types of cats in Xia Yuxiao's bedroom.

"Come on, sit down."

She said, feeding the food in her hand to the kitten in her hand.

By the way, I threw a piece of meat to a cat lying in the corner.

It can no longer be called a cat, the size of that thing almost catches up with a wolf, and the sound of purring is not at all close to the elegance and cuteness of those kittens, but it makes people feel extremely dangerous.

This is the "cat" given by the Saar Dynasty. Qin Ji remembers that the cat seemed to be just a cute kitten when it first came. Rabbit eats can you believe it...

"You've done a good job this time, Qin Ji. After the battle for the crown prince, those ministers probably won't dare to say more in a short time now."

She looked out the window and beckoned. The "big cat" ran over and lay obediently in her arms.

"It's His Majesty who can deal with it freely, which makes the ministers fearful. The merits of the ministers are just icing on the cake." Qin Ji expressed modesty.

"You are too modest," Xia Yuxiao said with a frown. "By the way, how about making you king? I originally thought that you should be surprised to be crowned king."

"I am indeed very pleasantly surprised, but I am not surprised that your Majesty's vassal is king."

"Oh? Let's hear it."

"Although I am the Duke of An, after all, I can't be equal to other kings in terms of title. Your Majesty's promotion of this minister is due to the merits of the minister on the one hand, and on the other hand, because His Majesty attaches great importance to the minister and wants him to take on the important task of rectifying the Great Xia. Therefore, I am not surprised that His Majesty has made you king."

"Well, you are right, but I have another consideration."

Xia Yuxiao stroked the big cat in her hand and said.

"Please advise, Your Majesty."

Qin Ji said respectfully.

Xia Yuxiao raised her head, looked at Qin Ji and Lingyan beside him, then paused for a moment, and asked:

"If I remember correctly, Qing is not married yet, right?"

Although there were rumors of Qin Ji getting married before, it was just a way for him and Xia Yuxiao to express their dissatisfaction.But in fact, he did not marry a wife.

"Exactly."

"Qinggui is the Duke of An—now the King of An. Qing's marriage has long been not Qing's alone, but a matter related to the policies and guidelines of the entire Great Xia. Do you understand this?"

"...I understand."

He had already made this realization.

If you want to wear a crown, you must bear its weight, and this sentence is also applicable to him as a captain.At this position, his marriage is indeed more than just a marriage.It's like royal princesses, few of them really hold their weddings according to their personal preferences.

"So, I'm going to introduce you to a marriage. Of course, considering the status, don't worry, the person I'll pick for you is definitely the right one."

After Xia Yuxiao finished speaking, she stopped talking and waited for Qin Ji's reply.

Of course, there was another reason why she didn't continue talking.

That is, the Lingyan next to her seems to be a little "little moody".

Chapter 48 Marriage?

Qin Ji had already expected that his marriage would not be settled casually, it was definitely an arrangement involving interests and political needs.

Therefore, when Xia Yuxiao said this, he was not surprised, but very calm.

Rather, Xia Yuxiao is a qualified emperor if she does this. If she really can't take advantage of such a wonderful opportunity, this emperor will be too incompetent.

"Can your majesty tell me, who is the candidate chosen by your majesty for me?" he asked.

For Qin Ji, this kind of political marriage is not interesting at all, and he really doesn't want to participate in such a political marriage, but considering His Majesty's face, it's better to ask a little bit, in this way, even if he refuses reasonable grounds.

"Princess of Thrall. You know her."

Xia Yuxiao said in calm words.

"..." Qin Ji froze in place for a moment.

What kind of marriage partner Xia Yuxiao will assign him, he has expected. It may be a princess from abroad, or the daughter of a central government official in China. It is all possible.

So Qin Ji was already prepared to refuse. After all, for him, he really didn't like this kind of typical arranged marriage, even if the marriage was bestowed by the emperor himself.

But when it comes to the princess of the Saar dynasty, he knows...

In all likelihood, Wuheya didn't run away.To be honest, it would be impossible if he and Wuheya didn't have a good relationship. If the marriage relationship was big enough, then he would have to consider the possibility of marriage.Anyway, sooner or later they will get married, and it is better to find someone who is compatible with themselves than to find a stranger.

"Why did you choose her?"

Qin Ji asked.

"Isn't it mentioned in the contract signed with the Saar Dynasty before that the Saar Dynasty will send us a 'student'. Recently, the messenger from the Saar Dynasty said that the person has been selected." Xia Yu Xiao Ban lay on his couch and said.

"Could it be Wuheya himself?"

"It's Wuheya herself," Xia Yuxiao sneered, "To be honest, Wuheya's fate is much worse than mine. Although my current seat is not secure, at least Daxia has a strong respect for women running the country. It’s just distrust. But the Saar people are completely close to discrimination against women. I have sent someone to investigate Wuheya before. If I use it well, she is a very good talent. It’s a pity that King Tuva In their eyes, their son is the real ruler of the country."

"Your Majesty, I am sorry to say bluntly that Wuheya was pushed out to study with us. In a sense, it is equivalent to that she has been abandoned by King Tuva and Ban Ge. In this case, she does not seem to be worthy of us. It’s the right value to use.”

Qin Ji expressed his incomprehension.He naturally knew the reason why Xia Yuxiao let him marry Wuheya, but now Wuheya has no real power at all. If he wants land or land, he needs money, money, soldiers, or connections. ?

"Qin Ji, what you see is the current Wuheya," Xia Yuxiao gently took the medicine soup from the hand of the maid next to her, then drank it down with a frown, and continued, "Wuheya, no matter what , she is the princess of the Saar Dynasty after all. She has no value worthy of our use now, but it does not mean that she will not have it in the future. Qin Ji, as long as it is used properly, Wuheya can be a part of our Great Xia buried in the Saar Dynasty. Thunder."

"Didn't you always hope to solve the problem on the northern border? Now, the arrival of Wuheya may be an opportunity. With her as a breakthrough, the problem of the Saar Dynasty is likely to be completely resolved. And now, what I want is An obedient Ukhya. Do you understand?"

She put down the medicine bowl in her hand, wiped away the traces of the decoction on the corner of her mouth, and slowly took out a piece of dried fruit from the porcelain jar in front of her, and put it in her mouth to relieve the bitterness.

This is a prescription specially prescribed by a celestial master in the celestial master's mansion to recuperate the body. Xia Yuxiao is busy with government affairs every day, and is always facing physical and mental fatigue. Although this soup is unpalatable, it has a great effect on relieving fatigue. effect.

"I understand."

"Well, it's good for you to understand. My idea is that when Wuheya comes, we propose marriage to the Saar Dynasty after two months. The Saar Dynasty, who has no courage to do anything now, will not refuse this Marriage. In their eyes, maybe this princess is just an abandoned son, and if the abandoned son can play a role, they will be very happy."

"Your Majesty is so confident?"

"Barbarians, there are almost so many things on their minds. At first, I thought they should have a longer memory after being beaten so many times, but now it seems that they have made limited progress." Xia Yuxiao told them. The evaluation is not polite.

"Your Majesty, although I have reached the age of marriage, the situation has not yet been decided, and Your Majesty has not yet married, how can I marry a foreign princess? Besides, I feel that even if you don't need to marry, you can still use Wuheya."

After thinking for a moment, Qin Ji still gave such an answer.

On the one hand, he doesn't have a particularly strong desire to get married now.On the other hand...

The main reason is that the child Wuheya is too miserable.

He obviously has his own ambitions and the ability to govern his country and people well, but what?Just because of her origin, and her "unsuitability", she was abandoned by her relatives, abandoned by her beloved homeland, and came to a foreign country to act as a hostage...

Then when the time comes, before she can gain a firm foothold, she will be suddenly arranged for a marriage.

Qin Ji brought himself in for a while, and found that if this was the case, he didn't know what Wuheya felt, and he would be angry anyway.

People's fate is not good, if there are other methods, he still doesn't want his friends to be so miserable.What is the difference between this kind of life like a marionette and death?

"Oh? Talk about it."

"The relationship between Chen and Wuheya is not bad, and Wuheya has long been dissatisfied with the interior of the Saar Dynasty. Therefore, she can be tied together by us through cooperation."

Anyway, Wuheya is also dissatisfied with her elder brother, and cooperation can definitely be reached between him and Wuheya.

"Well, that's fine, you can try it. If it doesn't work, we'll change the method." Unexpectedly, Xia Yuxiao didn't seem to be dissatisfied with his rejection, but calmly agreed to his request. the idea.

"As ordered."

"In addition," she smiled and pushed away the paperwork in front of her, "in two days, the craftsmen responsible for remodeling the Duke's Mansion of Anguo will be in place, and you will probably have to move out of the Duke's Mansion first. I have prepared a residence for you, you can move all the people and things in the mansion to the palace first. After the expansion of the palace is completed, you can move back."

Faced with His Majesty's kindness, Qin Ji thought for a moment, considering that the current Xia Yuxiao would not be harmful to him, and that the An Guo Gongfu would not be able to accommodate people when it was really expanded and remodeled, Qin Ji finally Still agreed to this nice solution.

Chapter 49 Stay in the Palace~

"Your Majesty, since this matter has been decided, I have one more matter to discuss with Your Majesty when I come here this time."

"You say it."

Qin Ji glanced at Lingyan beside him, and then said: "As ordered by His Majesty, I once mobilized hundreds of people to form a special team. Presumably Your Majesty knows what kind of team it is. , These teams have begun to take shape, and at present, they already have certain capabilities.”

"Well, I know this, you said it before. So now, you plan to put this team into use?"

"Exactly, but Your Majesty, to be honest, I don't have the energy to deal with the affairs of this team. For example, daily training, dispatching and commanding, etc. need a special person to be responsible. the task."

"Lingyan, right?"

Xia Yuxiao immediately understood why he brought Lingyan to her today.

"Your Majesty's lesson. The minister's recommendation of Lingyan may seem selfish to outsiders, but I don't think so. Lingyan's strength can take on this important task. Now this group of people is also trained by Lingyan himself. It is not an exaggeration. In other words, Lingyan is fully capable of commanding this team well."

"Besides, internally, this is a very complicated job. Most of the civil servants in Daxia don't have enough experience in combat and secret operations, and most of the generals have more experience on the battlefield, but they have rich experience on the battlefield. It doesn't mean that you can lead this army well..."

"Therefore, I feel that Lingyan is very suitable for this job."

Qin Ji expressed his opinion.

Of course, he can't really be selfless, but he didn't tell a lie either. There are not many people in Daxia who are really suitable to be the leaders of this group of "internal teams". Besides, this is not a clean job. , if put on the bright side, it is tantamount to offending most of his colleagues in the officialdom.No competent official would want to do the job.

Therefore, Lingyan is the most suitable for such a position.

Xia Yuxiao's eyes switched back and forth between Qin Ji and Lingyan, and finally sighed:

"Even if I agree to this matter, I have to let the important ministers in the court make a decision."
