Adviser should be self-improvement

Why was the name changed to Xie Qiongjiu? Xie Fu's explanation to the public at the beginning was: to exhaust the world's fine wines, but Chu Huaiqing secretly thought that the last four words were understandable, and it was more appropriate to change the word 'exhausted' to 'drink the poor'.

Subconsciously said the name, seeing Xie Fu seemed very satisfied, Chu Huaiqing couldn't help but bask in it, thinking that friends are happy.

At the guest banquet, perhaps because of Chu Huaiqing's instructions, he was a little calm. At the private banquet, Cao Yuan let go of his hands and feet, and demonstrated to everyone what a real feast is. Zhao Shijie fell into the meat without eating a few bites. In the bowl, he stared dumbfounded at how Cao Yuan stuffed food that was several times the size of his head into his mouth.

Zhao Shijie turned his head to look at Zeng Ping, wanting to express his shock to the only friend in distress at the moment, but found that Zeng Ping was talking with Li Yuexiong, nodding his head like a chicken pecking at rice from time to time, just like a good baby after being tamed .

Looking ahead, Qin Ce chatted and ate with Chu Huaiqing as if nothing had happened, and then looked at the left and right sides, one was drinking alone and the other was overeating alone, making Zhao Shijie who was stunned as if feeling helpless Feel.

"Brother Cao has always eaten a lot, so don't be surprised." A little head popped out from the side, sitting next to Zhao Shijie obediently and sensiblely, and said with a smile, "Brother Chu said that powerful people always eat a lot, I think he can eat a lot." So much is really great.”

"Why did you come here?" Childhood can arouse the vigilance of others, and Zhao Shijie is no exception. Looking around Li Yuexiong, the seat belonging to Li Heng was empty as expected.

"Come here and ask for a drink." Li Heng blinked, lowered his voice and looked at the jug of wine on Zhao Shijie's table, "Daddy won't let me drink, saying that if I drink too much, sooner or later I will turn into an alcoholic like Mr. Xie. "

Hearing this, Zhao Shijie didn't know what expression to use. He thought that before the disaster, their children at Li Heng's age had already started to drink alcohol. It shouldn't hurt Li Heng to drink less. Handed it to Li Heng.

Li Heng smiled instantly and rolled his eyes. He held the jug high and lowered the spout, trying to pour the wine into his mouth. Zhao Shijie was startled when he saw this, and hurriedly handed the wine glass to the child.

"Heng'er, what are you doing?"

"Ah!" Li Heng, who had just had time to take a sip, trembled, quickly sipped the wine, hid the glass behind him, looked at Li Yuexiong with an innocent face, "I didn't do anything..."

Li Yuexiong looked at Li Heng with sternness in his eyes, which made Zhao Shijie beside him start to tremble with fear. In the end, Li Yuexiong sighed slightly: "Don't hide it, return the wine glass to others, and don't forget to say thank you."

Li Heng laughed, and returned the wine glass to Zhao Shijie: "Thank you Brother Zhao, the wine is quite delicious."

Zhao Shijie paused, put the wine glass back on the table, glanced at Li Heng who had returned to his seat, and Li Yuexiong who was nodding to him, feeling slightly complicated.

"Okay everyone, stop for a moment." Qin Ce suddenly opened his mouth, facing the crowd, "I have something I want to discuss with you."

They all stopped their chopsticks and looked at Qin Ce.

Qin Ce met everyone's gaze, without ambiguity: "Now that the affairs of Qingzhou have been properly arranged, I discussed it with my husband and plan to send troops to Pingzhou."

Zhao Shijie's jaw dropped to the ground, still wondering what would happen.

Xie Fu was very calm: "How many soldiers and horses will you go?"

Qin Ce said: "Including Qingzhou's four thousand soldiers, we now have a total of 3000 soldiers, five thousand left at the border, and 8000 left behind in Qingzhou. I will go with my husband and capture Pingzhou. Ten thousand soldiers are enough."

Xie Fu squinted his eyes: "Does this mean that I will stay and watch the house again?"

Chu Huaiqing smiled and said, "There will be labor and wealth." Because Xie Fu planned to wait for the aftermath of Qin Ce's crown ceremony to dissipate before changing his name, so as not to attract suspicion, Chu Huaiqing still called him Xie Fu.

Xie Fu rolled his eyes, and accepted the job helplessly.

Cao Yuan remained expressionless as always: "I'll go too."

Qin Ce took a sip of his drink: "You and Li Yuexiong stayed in Qingzhou with Mr. Xie."

"Why?" Cao Yuan stared at him, "I can fight."

"It's enough for me and my husband to be in Pingzhou. It will be cumbersome for you to go. I have more important tasks for you." Seeing that Cao Yuan was about to lose his temper, Qin Ce added slowly, "If you do it well , will be counted as military merit.”

As soon as this sentence came out, Cao Yuan really stopped: "What's the matter?"

"Drive away the soldiers and horses of Youdu." Qin Ce said, "Of course, I don't mean that you go to Youdu's territory to toss around, as long as you are driven away when Youdu's soldiers come to commit crimes."

Cao Yuan frowned: "Just drive away?"

"Yes, there is no need to do other things." Qin Ce said slowly, "I will get it back in the future after all, so there is no rush."

Cao Yuan nodded with a half understanding.

The conversation between the few people was coherent and natural, as if they were about to do something insignificant, which shocked Zhao Shijie beyond compare. Seeing that the matter was about to be finalized by Qin Ce, Zhao Shijie couldn't resist standing up: "Show troops to Pingzhou, the reason What is it?"

As soon as the words came out, he realized that something was wrong. Zhao Shijie, who was surrounded by everyone's eyes, froze into a stone for a moment. Although he felt regretful, he still bite the bullet and continued: "Your Highness has a great reputation. If you attack Pingzhou for no reason, it will hurt His Highness." Your reputation among the people will also arouse the emperor's wrath, and His Highness will not only face the soldiers of Pingzhou, but the soldiers of Shengqian."

Perhaps it was because of nervousness, or maybe it was because he was not used to speaking such polite words, but Zhao Shijie spoke too quickly, and the words were not clear, which made his cheeks flush with anxiety, and added: "Your Highness, please think twice."

Chu Huaiqing and Qin Ce looked at each other indiscriminately, and Qin Ce smiled lightly before putting down his wine glass: "No matter what, you didn't choose to keep silent, and I am very pleased that you can raise objections to decisions that may be unfavorable to me. "

"I..." Qin Ce, who did not lose his temper, finally realized that what was in everyone's sight was not reprimands and ridicules, but friendly smiles. Zhao Shijie was miraculously relieved and scratched his head, "I am Didn't you say something wrong?"

"You didn't say anything wrong, you just raised a question." Chu Huaiqing smiled at him reassuringly, "Have you heard about the King of Xiangyang commanding the capital today?"

"That... I've heard a little bit about it." Qin Ce didn't limit his and Zeng Ping's freedom, and when he was wandering the streets with nothing to do, he heard most of the businessmen talking about it.

"You made a fuss that day and beheaded Ji Sheng. Before the new governor succeeded, the soldiers in Pingzhou were useless. Because of the reason you started, those people were unwilling to continue to be enslaved. They kept making troubles day and night and lost their command. The officers and soldiers are probably exhausted by the trouble, and those soldiers and horses who are still on the way to support are destined not to have the opportunity to rush to Pingzhou."

Zhao Shijie: "..." Was it his illusion? Why did Mr. Chu look at him with praise and optimism when he mentioned the disrespectful treason they did back then?

Zhao Shijie came back to his senses: "Is it because he will be caught by King Xiangyang?"

"King Xiangyang's malicious intentions are so obvious, how can our emperor sit idly by?" Chu Huaiqing nodded and smiled, "Now do you understand? We are not occupying Pingzhou this time, but we can't bear Pingzhou." The people of the state, suffering from the riots, went to 'support'."

"Yes... that's right."

Some agree, some are confused, some are surprised.Zhao Shijie didn't expect that His Royal Highness the third prince would do such a thing... such a thing?

Having learned the lesson before, at least he will not question recklessly again, Zhao Shijie asked cautiously: "Then, are you still planning to take down Pingzhou?"

Xie Fu shook his head, glanced at Chu Huaiqing, and seemed to ask him where he found such a treasure, Chu Huaiqing shrugged calmly, and smiled back to Xie Fu, whether he would like to accept students to teach him, Xie Fu thought about it. He refused without thinking, sincerely and sincerely expressed that his temperament would only mislead others, and asked Huaiqing to invite Gao Ming...

Qin Ce coughed lightly, seeming to interrupt the eye contact between the two unintentionally, noncommittal to Zhao Shijie's question, and calmly said: "It's just a 'temporary' post of state shepherd, if the emperor makes arrangements, and Arranged properly. I will hand over Pingzhou myself."

This sentence has a deep meaning, 'arrangement later' is one point, and 'arrangement is proper' is another point, but Zhao Shijie has not been in the battlefield for a long time, after all, he is immature in terms of strategy, even if he detects something strange from his words, he doesn't know where the difference comes from What, he replied in a daze.

After the banquet, Qin Ce called Zhao Shijie and Zeng Ping to stop, and waited until the others had left before saying, "This time, you two will go with you when you go to Pingzhou."

"Me two?" Pointing at Zeng Ping and pointing at himself.

"Is there anyone else here?" Qin Ce raised an eyebrow.

"No, I... Xiaomin means that we went, and it seems that we can't help His Highness..."

Qin Ce nodded: "I can't help much, because there is only one thing you have to help."

Zhao Shijie opened his eyes wide: "Huh?"

"Pingzhou, you two are quite familiar. I need you to lead the troops in and help me investigate the deployment of Pingzhou." Qin Ce said, "This matter is very important."

Until Qin Ce's figure disappeared, Zhao Shijie and Zeng Ping did not get rid of the unreality of being valued, and saw Chu Huaiqing walking in front of them with a gentle smile.

Zhao Shijie shook his shoulders unconsciously, and tightened his face to look a little more serious - Zhao Shijie still had a little awe in his heart for Chu Huaiqing who had subdued them and saved Zeng Ping.

"What are you doing looking at me like that? I am the same as you. I eat whole grains, not human beings." Chu Huaiqing patted Zhao Shijie on the shoulder, and said in a gentle voice, "If you need food, just tell your attendant clearly. Day by day trembling... By the way, next time you are in front of His Highness, don't forget to call yourself a subordinate."

Zhao Shijie froze, then gradually relaxed, and said in a low voice, "Okay."

It turns out that His Royal Highness and Mr. Chu both know...they erected a monument to pay homage to Zeng Liang.

Chu Huaiqing smiled, raised his steps to leave, then turned his head suddenly, and said with a smile: "There is one thing I want you to understand, even if you do something to make trouble, you will not be facing all of Sheng Gan's soldiers and horses." , doesn’t our Highness have [-] in his hand?”

Zhao Shijie and Zeng Ping were thoughtful, and when they looked up, Chu Huaiqing had disappeared.
