In recent days, Zhao Xun has been a little busy, busy eating, drinking and having fun, and busy treating guests, while the guests... are the local governors who come to Beijing from all over the country.

After the banquet was dispersed, Zhao Xun asked Li Chengliang to stay and said something to him.

Li Chengliang sat there, lowering his head slightly, motionless.

Zhao Xun stared at Li Chengliang for a while, then said, "Governor Li, it's been a while since you arrived in Fengjing. When will you leave?"

Zhao Xun had issued an edict yesterday to appoint Li Chengliang as the governor of Youzhou. As for Li Conggu's appointment, a decision has been made. The edict was handed over to the Zhengshi Hall for discussion. After the ministers and states in the Zhengshi Hall discussed and approved, they would be issued immediately to form a formal order.

Of course, this is just a process. Since Zhao Xun chose to compromise, many things are just superficial.

What Zhao Xun wants is face and to recover the losses as much as possible, while Li Conggu just wants a legitimate one, and after all, he also wants a face.

I will give you face, give me face, hello I will all be happy, this matter will be over, as for what will happen in the future, who can tell clearly?

Li Chengliang stood up and bowed and said, "I plan to wait until General Yan Yi returns to Fengjing, give him a gift, apologize before leaving."

Zhao Xun nodded with satisfaction and looked at Li Chengliang's gaze, quite appreciating.

How could Zhao Xun not hear the potential meaning of Li Chengliang? He was just telling himself, Master, don’t worry, Yan Yi and nearly 10,000 prisoners of soldiers, they didn’t come back a day, so I won’t leave for a day. If something really happens, you can take me, Li Chengliang, as a hostage.

In the Battle of Hebei, a total of 100,000 people were gone, and 50,000 escaped. In addition, Yan Yi and nearly 10,000 prisoners, that is, 60,000 people were lost. In total, although a war was defeated, a total of 40,000 people were lost, as well as a general Zhang Jin.

Thinking of this, Zhao Xun's mood suddenly improved a lot.

This loss is not big, and Zhao Xun can accept it completely.

Of course, when things have come to this point, Zhao Xun always has to find a reason to comfort himself.

When Zhao Xun was in a good mood, he became much more pleasing to Li Chengliang.

"Li Chengliang, the young daughter of King Ji Zhao Antong, Princess Miezhen, is dignified and beautiful, Nian Fang is eighteen, and is already at the age of getting married."

Zhao Xun suddenly said this.

Li Chengliang was slightly stunned and thought of himself at the first time, so he bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I... I already have a wife, I'm afraid..."

Zhao Xun smiled and waved his hand, saying meaningfully: "You are not suitable, there are others."

After saying that, Zhao Xun sighed again, "Li Conggu gave birth to several good sons."

"I have heard of Li Congshan's name. If I have the chance, I want to meet him. He is about the same age as me, so I should be able to talk about it."

"Your Majesty is too rewarded, I am afraid."

Zhao Xun said a few words, sometimes like this and sometimes like that, Li Chengliang was a little confused for a while, and could only respond implicitly and not talk much.

The two chatted for a few more times, and then Li Chengliang said goodbye and left.

"Your Majesty, Yan Yi and the others are almost here to Jinyang Mansion. I ask for orders to go and answer."

Standing next to him and having not spoken, Su Chi suddenly bowed his hand to request.

Zhao Xun said: "I have ordered Cao Guoan to handle it properly. What did you do?"

Su Chi said sincerely: "Although this battle was defeated, the soldiers of the three armies tried their best to fight for the emperor and the country. Yan Yi and the others are back now, and they are at a time when their morale is low and their minds are frightened. I will not only stabilize the morale of the army, but also demonstrate the emperor's...benevolence and kindness. In this way, the soldiers of the three armies will definitely be grateful to the emperor."

After hearing Su Chi's words, Zhao Xun pondered for a moment, and finally nodded, feeling that what the other party said made some sense.

Zhao Xun pointed to Su Chi and said, "I took out some money and food from the inner treasury. It is my intention."

Su Chi bowed and said gratefully: "The emperor's benevolence and righteousness will definitely be grateful to the soldiers of the three armies."

Zhao Xun said softly: "Tell Yan Yi and the others to relax. Although this battle in Hebei was defeated, it was a bad war..."

Zhao Xun wanted to say that it was not a war, but immediately thought that he had just rubbed Li Xun to the end on the grounds of improper command and defeat in the war. It was a bit out of place to say this at this time.

"Let them return to Fengjing as soon as possible, I... don't blame them."

"It's too late, you can step down."

"Yes, the emperor, me, take your leave."

Su Chi bowed and turned around and left.

Li Chengliang returned to his residence.

"Young Master, you are back."

An escort came up.

Li Chengliang asked, "Mr. Shu is asleep?"

The guard replied, "Not yet, I'm reading a book in the study."

Li Chengliang nodded, Shu Chang was waiting for him to come back.

Li Chengliang then went to the study room, and the lights were on. After entering, he saw Shu Chang sitting there reading a book at a glance.

Hearing the movement, Shu Chang put down the book in his hand and looked at Li Chengliang: "The eldest son is back."

Li Chengliang smiled and said, "It's so late, Mr. Shu hasn't gone to bed yet?"

Shu Chang said indifferently: "I'm waiting for you to come back."

Li Chengliang nodded and sat down to Shu Chang.

Shu Chang asked, "What's going on today?"

Li Chengliang shook his head: "It's still the same. Everyone drinks happily and chats happily. He says everything, just keeps talking nonsense about politics."

Shu Chang smiled and didn't say anything.

These local governors came to Fengjing and were just taking advantage of the situation. They would go to the scene if they had the opportunity, and it didn't matter if they didn't. Now the emperor has a clear attitude and chose to compromise. So, what else can they say? They have delicious food and drink, have fun for a few days, and then leave.

As for what will happen to the court and Hebei, what does it have to do with them?

"But after the banquet, the emperor kept me alone and said some strange things."

"What did the emperor say?"

Li Chengliang told Shu Chang in detail what he had just talked about.

After listening to it, Shu Chang pondered for a moment, and then said, "The Emperor wants to win over some people by means of marriage."

“Is this useful?”

“Of course it’s useful.”
