Ma Hong bowed and said, "Master, Xu Chang's title of king himself is not right, and people in the world will not really think that he is a vassal king. But if the court gives him a title of prince, he will definitely be grateful. I think that at that time, the emperor will order him to send troops to encircle Chu Huan, and he will definitely obey the will of the court."

"Mabutang, I, the founding of the Qin Dynasty, have never been a king since then." Zhou Ting said: "As we all know, even Xuanyuan Pingzhang, who has outstanding achievements in the Qin Dynasty, has only been granted the title of Duke Yi. Xu Chang is just a local military general, how can he enjoy the title of king? Yuan Buyi proclaimed himself as king and rebelled against the court. Although it was a great crime, Xu Chang was just a general under Yuan Buyi at the beginning. This person took the lead in beheading Yuan Buyi. Yuan Buyi naturally deserved to die, but Xu Chang's move was undoubtedly a crime. He was able to betray Yuan Buyi yesterday. It is difficult to guarantee that his court would not betray the court!"

Lin Yuanfang laughed: "Changling Marquis, the imperial court granted Xu Chang a title of kingship, but it was just a verbal gift. The purpose was to let him fight with Chu Huan. It can be said that it was a name but not a reality. Changling Marquis couldn't even understand this principle? He wanted to be king, so he gave him a name but not a reality. Using such a false name, mobilizing his troops to the court, which would benefit the court without any harm!"

Zhou Ting said lightly: "Not whether it is beneficial to the court without any harm, I would like to ask Lin Butang that since Xu Chang can control most of Jinling in a short period of time, is this person a stupid person? If he is not a stupid person, how could he work hard for the court just because of a throne that is in name only?"

Lin Yuanfang wanted to say something again, Dingwu had raised his hand and said, "Your dear friends don't have to fight again." He asked Ma Hong: "Your dear friends, if you give Xu Chang a title as you said, he can be used by the court. I would rather give up this throne. Are you willing to go to Jinling as an imperial envoy of the court?"

Ma Hong was stunned and said awkwardly: "Master, I have always been stupid. Although I think this plan is feasible, I am slow and dull!" Seeing Dingwu's brows slightly tight, I hurriedly said: "I am rarely engaged in diplomatic relations. If I am not careful, I am afraid of misleading a big deal. But if the emperor issues an order, I will go to Jinling as an imperial envoy, and I should follow the order!" At this point, I couldn't help but glance at Lin Yuanfang.

Lin Yuanfang had already taken a step forward and bowed: "The Master, Ma Butang manages the Ministry of Revenue, and is naturally very good at scheduling money and grain, but he does rarely involve foreign affairs. This trip to Jinling is of great importance and the strategy of the court. If there is any mistake, I am afraid that it will be backfire."

Dingwu pondered for a moment before asking, "Who is the most suitable person to serve as the imperial envoy in your opinion?"

"I think Xuebutang is the best choice." Lin Yuanfang said without hesitation: "Xuebutang is full of knowledge and has a lotus flower in the Ministry of Rites for many years. If he goes there this time, he will definitely understand it and successfully complete the task. Moreover, Xuebutang went to the Western Grain and made outstanding contributions. Since he did not disappoint his mission even when he was on the mission to Xiliang, Xu Chang was naturally not a problem."

Xue Huaian's face changed slightly, and he opened his mouth but didn't say anything. Dingwu pondered slightly, looked at Xue Huaian, and asked, "Is Xue Aiqing willing to take on this responsibility?"

Xue Huaian paused for a moment and finally bowed: "If the emperor has made up his mind, I am willing to go to Jinling!"

"Okay!" Dingwu smiled on his face, and there was no expression of praise in his eyes. "Transfer my will and grant Xue Huaian the title of Marquis of Changyi. As an imperial envoy of the court, he went to Jinling and awarded the imperial edict."

Ma Hong and others were stunned. Unexpectedly, Dingwu issued an order to give Xue Huaian as the imperial envoy, and even gave him a marquis. Some people felt uncomfortable, but when they thought that Xue Huaian's life and death were hard to tell, they could barely accept it.

Dingwu ordered everyone to retreat first, leaving only Xue Huaian to give instructions. Xue Huaian knew that life and death were uncertain when he went to Jinling. Although he felt helpless, Dingwu had even given him a marquis, so he could no longer turn it around.

After Xue Huaian left, the hall was silent. Dingwu sat in a wheelchair and went to the hall door. He looked at the big tree in the courtyard and was silent for a moment. He sighed and asked, "Liuli, did you think Chu Huan would have today?"

There was silence around him. Dingwu turned his head and looked at him. Then he laughed silently. There was no Liuli figure beside him. He saw a palace maid not far away and asked, "Do you see where is the wife?"

The palace maid hurriedly said, "Report to the emperor, the Snowflake Queen invited the lady to play the piano. The lady had already gone to the Snowflake Queen half an hour ago."

Dingwu frowned, but said nothing.

Dingwu was in charge of Hexi. After ascending the throne, he naturally would not go to the Heavenly Palace. There was no suitable palace group in Wuping Prefecture. Before ascending the throne, the Hexi Governor's Office was repaired and temporarily used as the emperor's palace.

The Hexi Governor's Office itself covers an active and extensive area, and is more than enough as an open palace.

Lin Yuanfang, Ma Hong and others advised him to build a new palace in Hexi, but this memorial was immediately rejected by Dingwu. Not only that, Dingwu even issued an order to not build a village palace before returning to the old capital.

Although the Snowflake Queen seemed quite favored when she was the late emperor, the emperor and the minister after Dingwu ascended the throne, although she still retained the identity of the Snowflake Queen's concubine and would not be short of her supply, she did not leave her in the repaired Governor's Mansion. Instead, she found a mansion in Wuping Mansion City and placed it in it. She specially selected the Yi barbarian woman to serve as the palace maids.

For the Snowflake Empress, when the late emperor was there, she was extremely favored, even the Yiman eunuchs around her were ascending to heaven and glorious in Qin.

At that time, Ma Honglin Yuanfang and others were extremely flattering and respectful to the Snowflake Empress. Moreover, there were endless gifts from officials in the court.

The difficulties and obstacles of a person climbing from a low place to a high place are actually not terrible. What is terrible is the feeling of loss falling from the sky to the bottom of the valley. When the flowers wither in a blink of an eye, people's hearts will also sink to the bottom of the valley.

The Snowflake Queen does not care who she has served. She only cares whether she can summon the wind and rain and enjoy the pleasure of status and power.

When she was the late emperor, she enjoyed a short-term pleasure in power. How many officials in the court could dominate the fate of others because of her words. Only those who enjoyed this power could remember the stimulation in their hearts.

She was once even the brightest pearl in the harem of the Qin Dynasty. Even the queen's style was suppressed by her. She was like a phoenix standing on the magnificent harem.

But the facts are changing. Today's Snowflake Queen has long lost her original style.

She is still beautiful, but she has become a cage bird.

She originally wanted to marry the new Emperor of Qin according to the tradition of the barbarians after the death of the late emperor. She even believed that it was not difficult to surrender the new Emperor to her crotch with her charm and means of pleasing men. As long as this is the case, she is still dazzling and still has the vanity of the past.

But she didn't expect that the paralyzed man didn't know how to be polite and care about the beauty. He ignored her, not only did not include herself in the harem, but instead moved her to the Governor's Mansion, living alone in this luxurious but extremely deserted house. Outside the house, there were elite soldiers guarding him. According to the palace system of the Qin Dynasty, without the emperor's permission, the concubines in the harem were not allowed to step out of the gate. She is now a bird in a cage, and no difference is there between gold and rotten iron.

Of course she already knew that there was a beautiful woman around the new emperor, and that woman's style was unique in the world. The Snowflake Queen finally found the root of her neglect.

There is no doubt that it is not that you are not outstanding, nor that you are less attractive to men, but that the hateful woman blocks your own path.

When Mrs. Liuli appeared in front of Snowflake Empress, the confidence she had in her past disappeared instantly.

In order to meet Liuli today, Snowflake Queen has dressed up all day. No matter which man sees Snowflake Queen at this time, he will be thrilled. Snowflake Queen is also full of absolute confidence. She has never seen Mrs. Liuli before. She only learned from others that it is difficult for her to believe that there are women in the world who are more charming than herself.

But when she saw Mrs. Liuli, she finally realized that charm and charm are not the best places for women. Mrs. Liuli, who does not use her makeup and makeup, her style instantly shatters the confidence that the Snowflake Queen had brewed for half a day in an instant.

Dingwu ascended the throne as emperor. Although many people have quietly discussed the emperor's impending title and the position of the queen is likely to be Liuli, Liuli is still just a concubine next to Dingwu in his name.

Although the Snowflake Empress is not as good as before, in her name, she is still the concubine of the late emperor, and even Liuli's mother. It is reasonable to summon Liuli to come.

"You raise your head!" Seeing Liuli standing in front of her gracefully, Empress Snowflake couldn't help but whisper.

Liuli raised her head slightly and showed her exquisite and beautiful face in front of the Snowflake Empress. The Snowflake Empress's delicate body trembled slightly, and she stared at Liuli's face blankly.

It is hard to believe that there will be such a flawless face in the world. The Snowflake Queen finally understood why the emperor could disdain for herself who has a beautiful appearance. Under Mrs. Liuli's face, all the women in the world can only be embellished. The Snowflake Queen was stunned for a moment, and finally said: "You are so beautiful!"

Liuli smiled softly, and her voice was soft and respectful: "Is there any order to summon Liuli?"—
