The snowflake empress showed a look of surprise on her pretty face and said in confusion: "Xuanyuan Shao? Are you talking about the guard commander next to the emperor?"

"Empress Do not forget his other identity." Liuli whispered: "He is a disciple of the first martial arts family in the Qin Empire. The Xuanyuan family has always had a great influence on the empire. Now the priest also relies very much on Xuanyuan Shao. As long as Xuanyuan Shao is willing to say a few words to the empress in front of the priest, the priest may be able to change its original intention."

The Snowflake Empress frowned and said, "I don't have much contact with Xuanyuan Shao, and this person is not easy to deal with."

When Liuli saw the Snowflake Empress, she knew that Xuanyuan Shao was not easy to deal with. She knew that in the eyes of the world, Xuanyuan Shao was indeed a person who could not get enough oil and rice. She smiled and said, "Empress, anyone living in this world is flesh and blood, and she will not have weaknesses. Although Xuanyuan Shao is difficult to deal with, it does not mean that it cannot be broken. If the Empress wants to realize her wish, Xuanyuan Shao must do this level."

The Snowflake Empress frowned and was silent for a moment before saying, "The people in the world want to buy them are nothing more than wealth. There are some treasures around me, but the Xuanyuan family has a lot of wealth, so how can they like these treasures? I have also heard of the beauty. Xuanyuan Shao is over thirty years old and has not only not married, but also not even a concubine. He doesn't seem to like women."

"If the Empress wants to buy Xuanyuan Shao with treasures and beauty, it will definitely fail." Liuli whispered: "The Empress herself said that Xuanyuan Shao does not lack treasures and beauty."

The Snowflake Empress said: "Since that's the case, why did Xuanyuan Shao speak for me?"

Liuli's beautiful eyes flowed and she chuckled, "Does the Empress know that if the Central Plains dynasty wants to gain a foothold in the court or even rise to the top, it will inevitably be inseparable from the harem. As far as I know, the Xuanyuan family did not have female relatives in the palace. The Xuanyuan family was as stable as a rock in the court back then. Although the Xuanyuan family made great contributions to the establishment of the Qin Dynasty, another reason was also because the Yi Duke Xuanyuan Pingzhang had a deep personal relationship with the late emperor, so the Xuanyuan family was able to establish it without falling!"

The Snowflake Empress blinked her eyes, her long eyelashes flashed, and she looked very humble when she looked at Liuli.

"The friendship between Xuanyuan Pingzhang and the late emperor was tempered from the sea of ​​swords and blood, but now it is different from the past." Liuli said quietly: "Once the emperor passes away, the late emperor passes away, and the new emperor ascends the throne. No one can guarantee that his position in the court is as stable as a rock. Moreover, Xuanyuan Pingzhang, the head of the Xuanyuan family, has passed away recently!"

The Snowflake Empress was stunned. She naturally couldn't know that Xuanyuan Pingzhang was the Divine Clothes Guard, let alone the fierce battle that took place in the palace.

Although she lacked political experience, she knew what Liuli said just now and knew what Xuanyuan Pingzhang meant to the Xuanyuan family. At this time, she was not surprised that Xuanyuan Pingzhang died. She just felt that Xuanyuan Pingzhang's death was obviously a severe blow to the Xuanyuan family.

"Did you say that without Xuanyuan Pingzhang, the Xuanyuan family's position in the empire is not as stable as before?" asked Empress Snowflake softly.

Liuli tilted his head, "As soon as Xuanyuan Pingzhang died, Xuanyuan Shao became the first person in the Xuanyuan family. Although the emperor valued Xuanyuan Shao very much, his personal relationship was far inferior to that of the late emperor and Xuanyuan Pingzhang. Xuanyuan Shao and the emperor could not guarantee that the Xuanyuan family's status in the empire was as stable as a rock. Although Xuanyuan Shao had high martial arts skills, unparalleled archery skills, and was able to command thousands of imperial guards with ease, he did not make much contribution. The continuation of the Xuanyuan family has now been pressed on him. He must find a way to make the Xuanyuan family's status still as unshakable as before."

"So that's it." The Snowflake Empress understood something and whispered: "You mean, he needs someone in the harem to speak for him?"

"That's true." Liuli smiled sweetly, beautiful and soft, and her voice was soft: "The new emperor ascended the throne, worked hard to revive Qin. This is the most chaotic time in the world, but it is also the time for the redistribution of power. Xuanyuan Shao needs someone around him to say good things to him, ensuring that in the era of the new emperor, the Xuanyuan family is still the first family of the empress, and the empress is in the palace, so naturally she cannot have any connections in the court!"

The Snowflake Empress said: "Ma Hong, Lin Yuanfang, to me!"

"Empress thinks they will be your alliance?" Liuli immediately interrupted, "They are just people who are tempted by the flames and accompaniment. They were respectful to the Empress at the beginning, but because of the late emperor's favor for the Empress. When they are in danger, they will never help the Empress. Although they are still in the court, they are not valued by the emperor. It is because the court is short of people and they still have value to use. In my opinion, one day, the Emperor will kill these people who are tempted by the flames and accompaniment. If the Empress gets too close to them, it will not only be beneficial, but it is very likely that they will suffer in the future."

The Snowflake Empress couldn't help but nodded, only to feel that Liuli's eyes were sharp and far deeper than she could see.

"Empress, don't have to think that your tribe members will help you." Liuli sighed lightly: "When the emperor really returns to the old capital and pacify the world, how can the emperor let your tribe members continue to stay in Qin? Therefore, Xuanyuan Shao is the most worthy ally of the Empress now. Once the Empress really forms an alliance with Xuanyuan Shao, the dream of the Empress ascendant as the Empress can not only be realized, but from now on, there will be a truly reliable force in Qin."

When the Snowflake Empress heard Liuli's words, a hint of excitement appeared between her eyebrows and said anxiously: "Then what should I do next?"

"Although it is imperative for the Empress and Xuanyuan Shao to form an alliance, we must not be impatient if we really want to do it." Liuli whispered: "If the Empress can trust me, I can teach the Empress how to win Xuanyuan Shao over."

The Snowflake Queen said happily: "Really? Can you really help me?"

"The Empress is wrong. I just said that I am not helping the Empress, but myself." Liuli smiled sweetly, stretched out a hand like jade, and gently placed it on the back of the Snowflake Empress's hand. "Only when the Empress becomes the queen, I can be safe and sound in the harem and not bullied by others."

The Snowflake Queen immediately swore, "Don't worry, I keep my word. If I become the queen, I will not only keep you safe, but also help you become a concubine. Only me in the harem."

Of course, Xuanyuan Shao didn't know that Snowflake Empress and Liuli were talking about themselves behind their backs.

The late emperor passed away and the new monarch ascended the throne. Xuanyuan Shao's status seemed to have not changed at all, but he knew that some things had changed quietly and no one could stop them.

Dingwu has used many newcomers in recent times, and the order in Hexi has been restored to order. Xuanyuan Shao watched coldly and did not take these things seriously. He knew very well that at least so far, Dingwu still trusted him very much.

The Royal Guards were still commanded by him, and the defense of Wuping Mansion was handed over to the Guards, which means that Dingwu, like the late emperor, still delivered his safety to him.

The Guards are naturally not comparable to ordinary local officers and soldiers. As we all know, the Royal Guards are the most elite and combat-capable legion of the Great Qin Empire. They used to be, but still now.

The order of Wuping Mansion seems calm, but in fact it is extremely profound.

All the actions of the dignitaries and nobles in the city were in the eyes of the guards. For Xuanyuan Shao, Wuping Mansion had no secrets to him. His insight into everything in the city means that Dingwu knew everything in the city.

Xuanyuan Shao's loyalty to Dingwu was as changed as he was to the previous emperor.

He knew very well that the Xuanyuan family and the Qin Empire complement each other and were connected by blood. If the Qin Empire was a sword, then the Xuanyuan family was the sharpest blade on the sword, but once the sword was turned back, the blade would not be there.

Once the Qin Empire collapses, the Xuanyuan family will also be destroyed with the collapse of the empire.

Since Dingwu arrived at Wuping Mansion, Xuanyuan Shao had to meet Dingwu alone every two days to report the situation in the city. With the temporary palace transformed by the Governor's Office of Hexi, there were only two people who could enter and exit at will without reporting. In addition to Liuli, it was Xuanyuan Shao.

The guards guarding outside the palace are now familiar with Xuanyuan Shao's rules every two days, but when they see Xuanyuan Shao suddenly coming today, they are a little confused because the time has not come.

However, Xuanyuan Shao was their immediate superior, and he issued an order to Dingwu, so Xuanyuan Shao could enter and exit at will, so he naturally did not dare to stop him.

When Xuanyuan Shao met Dingwu, Dingwu was looking at a map hanging on the wall in a wide room. This map was a full picture of the Qin Dynasty, but all forces had been marked on it.

Hearing the footsteps, Dingwu turned around and saw Xuanyuan Shao. He was not surprised and asked, "Is something that shouldn't have happened?"

Xuanyuan Shao put the tiger helmet under his right armpit, his hair as white as snow, and said respectfully: "Report to the emperor, two people suddenly came from the city. When they entered the city, they wanted the soldiers guarding the city to take them to meet the emperor."

Xuanyuan Shao's expression was still calm, turned his head and looked at the map hanging on the wall, and said lightly: "I have set up a Xuxian Pavilion. If you want to enter the court and seek official position, you can go to Xuxian Pavilion."

When Dingwu ascended the throne, the first decree was to seek talents and issue edicts to recruit talents and capable people. No matter whether they are born, they can go to the talented and talented hall set up in Wuping Prefecture City to apply for the election.

Xuanyuan Shao's voice did not fluctuate at all: "Report to the priest, they claimed to report to the priest the secret matters. Seeing that they were in a mess, I seemed to have been rushing for a long time, and asked, and learned that they were from Liaodong."

Dingwu raised his eyebrows, "Liaodong?"

"One of them claimed to be Fan Wuqi." Xuanyuan Shao said: "He said he was once a thousand households of the Liaodong cavalry, the three cavalry in Liaodong, the black armored wolf cavalry, the yellow armored tiger cavalry, and the red arcade thunder cavalry. This person was once one of the eight thousand households of the Yellow Armored Tiger Cavalry!"—
