Rebirth of the first courtier

"Eldest Young Master, Second Young Master is back, and brought back a lot of things."

Shuzhu happily ran into the house, and when he looked up, he saw his young master holding the young master in his arms. The young master's cheeks were flushed, and his breathing was a little heavy. He immediately smiled coyly, "Well, the little one goes down first, hehehehe... ..."

Shuzhu turned around and ran, not forgetting to close the door while running out.Hu Li twisted his body, and pushed Xiao Qi'ao's chest with both hands, "Brother Xiao, let me go quickly, otherwise, I...I really have to use my strength!"

"Huh?" Xiao Qi'ao raised his eyes and looked at Hu Li with a smile, he didn't take Hu Li's threats seriously at all, since Hu Li wouldn't hurt him anyway.

Hu Li stared at Xiao Qi'ao for a while, and was the first to be defeated, "Hongyong is back, let's go and see. Shuzhu said he brought back a lot of things, and I don't know if going to the northwest will be better than Yong'an City." cold."

"Well, it's colder." Xiao Qi'ao picked him up and put him on the soft couch, took a thick cloak from the side and put it on him, "Let's go and have a look."

When Xiao Hongyong first arrived in the Northwest, he took a pair of soldiers and horses to Huangsha City, the old nest of the Northern Sage King, under Huangyu Pass.Huangsha City is an oasis in the desert. At the beginning, King Beixian was entrusted to this place because it was barren.

But no matter how barren it is, two or three generations can always do something.

Xiao Hongyong was sent there firstly to check the situation in Huangsha City, and secondly to prevent the remnants of King Beixian from remaining, so that they could be wiped out as soon as possible.

When Xiao Qiao and Hu Li arrived in the front hall, Qin Yuyi had already chatted with Xiao Hongyong, talking about the situation in Huangsha City.

"Because Huangsha City was occupied by rebels back then, and Huangsha City is the largest oasis under Huangyu Pass, the people's life is not bad." Xiao Hongyong frowned thinking of the people he saw in Huangsha City, "But the people of Huangsha City are already used to the rule of the traitor. If we go there rashly, it may be difficult to win the hearts of the people there."

"It seems that the situation over there is more troublesome than that in Yong'an City." Qin Yuyi narrowed his eyes slightly, but he was somewhat interested in the situation in Huangsha City.Instead, you can try to go to the memorial and talk to your father to see if you can send him there.

"Exactly." Xiao Hongyong nodded, "I have seen some merchants refuse to sell things to the soldiers, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to educate the people in Huangsha City for a while."

"For Huangsha City, the first thing to do is to eliminate the resentment in the hearts of the people, otherwise, as Hong Yong said, it will be difficult for the imperial court to subdue such an important city as Huangsha City." Xiao Qiao Leading Hu Li in, he said in a warm voice.

"Brother." Xiao Hongyong cupped his hands to Xiao Qi'ao, and before he could stand up, Xiao Qi'ao pressed his hand to signal him to sit down.

"What does Xiao Yuanwailang mean?" Qin Yuyi believed Xiao Qi'ao very much. Since the teacher said so, there must be some way.

"Good day, Your Highness." Xiao Qiao led Hu Li to greet Qin Yuyi first, and after Qin Yuyi signaled that there is no need to be too polite, he sat opposite Xiao Hongyong and said with a smile, "As far as I know, the Northern Sage King is not a kind person. People, the people in Huangsha City are not so much resenting the court because the traitor King Beixian was killed, it is better to say that they resent because a war made their stable life gone forever. As long as the people know that the court Sending troops is to save them from fire and water, not to destroy their stable life, presumably the common people will no longer reject the court like this.”

"What Xiao Yuanwailang said is not impossible," Qin Yuyi nodded, and then said, "I don't know if Xiao Yuanwailang has received the news that the magistrate of the Northwest Prefecture is about to take office, and there are [-] troops coming with him. Permanently in the Northwest."

Xiao Qi'ao nodded, "I have received the news, the magistrate is already on his way, and we will be able to reach the northwest before the end of the year."

"It seems to be right." Qin Yuyi stretched his waist, stood up and smiled, "I have to hurry up and write a booklet to the father, so that the father can let me stay in the northwest for a few more days. The weapons made in the mine, my father has not yet confirmed it, and I don't know if it will be able to fall into my father's eyes."

"Your Highness, don't worry, the weapon is naturally a good thing." Hu Li yawned and persuaded with a relaxed expression.

Indeed, as Hu Li said, Emperor Huiming, who received the weapon, looked at the sword that was more than a point sharper than before, and was not at all satisfied.

Emperor Huiming even performed martial arts in person. When he felt that he cut off the sword in the guard's hand, Emperor Huiming laughed out loud. Even his weak body after winter looked much better.

Really complied with that sentence, people are refreshed on happy occasions!

"Okay, not bad!" Emperor Huiming touched the sharp blade fondly, frightening Eunuch Fuming who was waiting on the side until his eyes straightened, for fear that the sharp blade would hurt His Majesty in the blink of an eye.

"Xiaoba said that there are two craftsmen who sent to the imperial city together, where are the craftsmen?" Emperor Huiming put the sword in a brocade box on the side and turned his head to ask.

"Return to Your Majesty, the craftsmen are placed in the station." Eunuch Fuming handed the wet handkerchief in his hand to Emperor Huiming, and said respectfully.

"Well, ask Liu Shangshu to meet those two people and ask them to rebuild a broadsword and long wooden warehouse commonly used in the army." Emperor Huiming threw down the veil and continued, "I heard that these two craftsmen have improved the furnace. , if you really need to use it, you must reward it!"

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"Xiao Ba is coming back soon, isn't he?" Thinking of the new Northwest magistrate who had left a few days ago, Emperor Huiming put on the thick cloak that Eunuch Fuming had been carrying all the time, "Find someone to repair the Wanyu Palace where he lives now, There are still a few years before I can go out of the palace and build a mansion, so I can't live in such a cool palace all the time."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Eunuch Fuming thought of Xiao Qiao who was about to return, without moving his eyelids, "Xiao Yuanwailang should also come back with His Highness the Eighth Prince. Start doing business for His Majesty."

"Oh?" Emperor Huiming sat on the imperial chariot, and Eunuch Fuming followed closely beside the imperial chariot, "Your Majesty, you are busy with government affairs, I am afraid that you have forgotten that Xiao Yuanwailang is the nephew of Concubine Ning."

"Well, it's my nephew." Emperor Huiming squinted his eyes, "I heard that Xiao Aiqing's wife is seriously ill, please ask the imperial physician?"

"I've invited, and I still invited Doctor Wen with Mrs. Xiao's Haoming brand."

"Well, let the imperial hospital pay attention to Mrs. Xiao's illness." Emperor Huiming gathered the cloak on his body, and sighed in his heart when he thought of Mrs. Xiao's toughness.Back then, Mrs. Xiao was someone who dared to fight against her father, but now she started to eat fast and chant Buddha's name without leaving home.

The new magistrate of the Northwest Prefecture still couldn't reach Yong'an City before the heavy snow blocked the road, and the last journey was through the strong wind and snow. Because the group lived in a warm place all year round, many people caught wind and cold.

The new prefect, Ji Fengsu, used to be the prefect of Huainan Prefecture. If his term of office had not expired and he had offended old Shangfeng, he would not have been assigned to this impoverished place in the northwest.

Seeing his wife and daughter who had been spoiled since childhood followed all the way in the wind and snow, with chilblains on their hands, Ji Fengsu was heartbroken, but he didn't dare to leave them in the imperial city.Emperor Tiangao was far from just talking about it for fun, if he really met someone who wanted to bully their mother and son, he would be so far away that he couldn't even think about it.

After finally arriving in Yong'an City, Ji Fengsu was also relieved. No matter how bad the Northwest is, in addition to the garrison, he will be the biggest official in this place. If he wants to make his wife and daughter live better, he can still do it.

"Master Ji, how is your journey?"

Qin Yuyi is wearing a formal prince's robe today, and a scarlet cloak inside. Since practicing martial arts, her slender figure can't be stopped even by a heavy cloak.

"Greetings to His Highness Eighth Highness, Your Highness is a thousand years old." Ji Fengsu looked at the young prince riding on the horse, looked at him with a gentle smile, and for some reason, his legs softened and he knelt down.

Later, when Ji Fengsu, who became the head of the state, thought of the situation at this time, he could only sigh with emotion. It must be that the young emperor at that time had already possessed the legendary domineering arrogance of the emperor, and it must be because of his keen eyes and discerning wisdom. He knew early on that His Highness the Eighth Highness could follow people.

"Master Ji, please get up quickly. You must be tired after coming all the way, so you should go back to the house and have a rest." Qin Yuyi got off the horse and helped Ji Fengsu up himself, leaving Ji Fengsu stunned for a while.

"Thank you for your understanding, the old minister took his wife and children back first, and I will go to ask His Highness to greet you tomorrow." Ji Fengsu didn't want to have a good chat with this Highness right now, and talk about his beautiful vision for the future.But the daughter who fell ill a few days ago was still asleep in the carriage, so it would be good if she could settle down sooner.

"Well, let's go." After sending Ji Fengsu away, Qin Yuyi twitched his lips.

The teacher said that Ji Fengsu is the most gracious and stubborn person, otherwise he would not be assigned to the Northwest, a place that no one wants to come to.However, even if he didn't say these things, he still hoped that he could stay in the northwest for a few more days, and he would inevitably meet Ji Fengsu a lot, and he didn't want to cause unnecessary trouble for himself.

The teacher has already taken Brother Hu Li to the surrounding villages, saying that he wants to experience the life of the real poor people.Qin Yuyi twitched his lips when he thought of Hu Li who was tightly covered before he left. He didn't believe that any poor people would wear velvet clothes.

"Brother Xiao, didn't you say that Mr. Ji will come back today? Is it appropriate for us to leave like this?" Hu Li pushed down his furry collar, and the sable hair was sweeping around his chin and itching.

"Why is it inappropriate, we will return to the imperial city soon, and we don't need to have too much communication with Mr. Ji." Xiao Qi'ao looked at Hu Li's persistent struggle with the collar and chuckled.

"But, didn't they all say that you need to have a good relationship with your colleagues? Brother Xiao obviously did this before." Hu Li didn't lift his head, and the snowflakes under his feet were soft, as if he was stepping on cotton, "Xiao Brother, I won’t wear this anymore, I’m not cold anyway.” After saying that, Hu Li tore off the velvet clothes on his body, put them in his Qiankun bag, and only wore a slightly thick cotton coat.

Xiao Qi'ao knew that Hu Li wouldn't be cold, so he didn't insist on it. Before, it was because he liked to stay indoors and disliked the cold outside, so he always dressed him in warm and thick clothes.

Hu Li took a deep breath, and the cold air made Hu Li shiver, "This place is different from the Extreme North Mountain. Although the Extreme North Mountain does not melt all year round, it is not so cold."

Seeing that Hu Li instantly forgot what he was struggling with before, Xiao Qi'ao didn't mention it anymore.It's not that he really doesn't like to have a good relationship with the new magistrate, but he hopes that the northwest area can become the jumping off point for the eighth prince and the most solid backing for the eighth prince, which requires the eighth prince to deal with Ji Fengsu himself.

"Don't run around, the snow is very thick here, don't fall!"

As if responding to Xiao Qiao's words, Hu Li fell into the snow with a "bang", covered with snowflakes all over his body.
