The cell in Xuzhou City was looted by some assassins who came from nowhere, and several prisoners died, and many assassins died. After checking the scene, Min Shaoqing came to a conclusion that these assassins were sent by King Huai to rescue Princess Min.

When Min Shaoqing informed the new emperor of the news, the new emperor was silent for a while and finally asked, "Is General Liu back?"

Min Shaoqing was stunned and said, "Your Majesty, these assassins..."

"The assassin is not here to assassinate me, just leave it to Prefect Min to deal with it. Unless General Liu comes back, you don't need to say what's left to me."

The new emperor looked irritable, and then he went into the inner hall to rest.

Min Shaoqing looked cold and sweaty. It seemed that nothing could match the position of "General Liu" in the mind of the new emperor. It might be that the new emperor had not been close to him for a while, and this time the imperial commander-in-chief was very dangerous, and he missed his family and loved ones.

Min Shaoqing discussed with the governor Ma Feng and others, meaning whether to consider the emperor and find someone to take care of the emperor's daily life. To put it bluntly, he offered a few beauties to the new emperor to let the emperor relieve his boredom.

Ma Feng thought Min Shaoqing had a good idea. After the Luan Jiao entered Xuzhou City, the military and civilians in Xuzhou City were all prepared to fight against the Huai Army. Some local wealthy families also wanted to take the opportunity to curry favor with the new emperor. Being able to see the emperor was a blessing for several lifetimes. If you choose some ladies from these wealthy families to serve the emperor, it will not only prevent the emperor from leaving, but also take advantage of the local family's wishes, and win multiple goals at one fell swoop.

One is willing to fight and the other is willing to be beaten. It means that one is lacking a coordinated organizer. As the prefect of Xuzhou, Min Shaoqing is the best candidate for the organizer.

"Do you have to ask the emperor first?" An official from Xuzhou asked tentatively.

"It's better to go private to do something," Min Shaoqing said after thinking about it, "This kind of thing cannot be known by the people, otherwise it will damage the emperor's majesty."

After discussing the matter, we discussed with the wealthy families in Xuzhou City in the next two days, so all kinds of ladies were sent to the prefect's house. Min Shaoqing didn't know much about the New Emperor's preferences, so he invited the old servant Wu, who was next to the New Emperor. When the New Emperor saw the women, he guessed what was going on and said shocked: "No. No!"

Min Shaoqing asked in surprise: "Eunuch Wu, why not?"

"You don't know that the emperor has a deep relationship with his wife, and there is also..." Eunuch Wu seemed not to want to say it, but he had to say it, and said shyly, "General Liu. He does not allow the emperor to accept concubines at will."

It was Liu Wenyan again, Min Shaoqing was a little angry. These people didn't see this person, but they heard the most. Liu Wenyan seemed to be the shadow of the new emperor. When the new emperor didn't see him, he was like an ant on a hot pan. Now he knew that he was still an unsubjective minister who liked to meddle in other people's business. Is the new emperor going to take a concubine and a minister should be in charge?

"Eunuch Wu, in this way, I will select a few women and then leave them to the emperor for selection. If the emperor does not accept it, then return it, what if it comes back?"

Eunuch Wu looked very embarrassed. He obviously didn't want to accept this proposal, because he had been with the emperor for a long time and knew very well that the new emperor and Liu Wenyan were. The new emperor was tightly controlled. In fact, those who became emperor would have some special thoughts in their hearts, such as taking up wives and concubines.

Min Shaoqing's beauty selection did not value family status and character as much as Yuan Bolang. He paid more attention to beauty, mainly to keep the emperor staying in Xuzhou. After all, as long as the imperial carriage stayed in Xuzhou City, there would be a steady stream of reinforcements here, and Xuzhou City would be particularly valued by the court. However, he also knew that Xuzhou City would be attacked more violently than the previous time.

After choosing four beautiful women with excellent postures and presented them to the emperor's temporary palace, Min Shaoqing was anxiously waiting for the news there, wanting to know if the emperor had returned all or a few of them until dawn the next day. There was still no news of returning. Min Shaoqing finally felt relieved. It seemed that the emperor's eyes were not so special, they all like beautiful things. They were young and energetic, how could the beauties not be moved before?

He was about to go back to rest when he saw the emperor coming to the prefect's mansion with a worried look on his face. Min Shaoqing was stunned. The new emperor should be entangled in the palace at this time. Could it be that the emperor also has the habit of getting up early?

"I wish you a blessing to the emperor."

"No need, can General Liu have news?"

It was the damn Liu Wenyan again. Min Shaoqing cursed in his heart, feeling that the new emperor came to the prefect's house not to thank him for his "loyalty to the king and the country", but to inquire about Liu Wenyan's whereabouts.

"No news yet." Min Shaoqing replied calmly.

"Oh, I will notify me as soon as possible if there is news." The new emperor seemed not very excited, so he turned around and left, and even Eunuch Wu fell into the hall.

Eunuch Wu was about to pursue the new emperor, but Min Shaoqing was caught. Min Shaoqing asked, "Eunuch Wu, those four women..."

"What woman?" Eunuch Wu looked stunned.

"I sent it to the palace last night."

"Aren't you not allowed to send you beautiful women?" Eunuch Wu complained, "Fortunately, the new emperor thought it was the maid you sent, but he just asked them to serve tea and water. The new emperor's mind was not here at all."

Min Shaoqing was shocked. This new emperor was not as unreasonable as rumors, but he looked like a capable wise king. He was so beautiful that he was just letting him be a maid? But those are all the ladies of everyone. When did the maid do what a maid did? It was a waste of resources!

Min Shaoqing sighed in his heart, and wondered again, why did he talk to the family behind the four beauties? Could it be that the new emperor was not satisfied with the four women and sent them to be maids?

There is no airtight wall in this world. Sooner or later, the big family will know what happened today, and they will not know what they will think of this new emperor.

Ma Feng came to see Min Shaoqing anxiously. The family behind the four women asked him to ask. Knowing that the new emperor was just using the four women as maids, Ma Feng sighed and said, "What exactly is this new emperor thinking? Apart from Liu Wenyan, it is also Liu Wenyan. Does he have a habit of Longyang and don't like women who like men?"

Min Shaoqing hurriedly looked around, and when he saw that no one was relieved, he shouted, "You can also talk nonsense about this!"

Only then did Ma Feng realize that his attitude was not polite and could not speak. Even if there were such things, he could not be publicly polite. He would be disrespectful and lose his head. The Imperial Army President Qu Zhu had been wandering around the new emperor, and his eyes were also staring at the officials of Xuzhou City. He could not be caught by him as a handle.

Ma Feng complained in a low voice: "This Liu Wenyan moved the imperial carriage to Xuzhou City, but he lost himself. He must have been afraid of death and hid in the back. The emperor actually trusted such a shameless villain. It really made my ministers disappointed."

"You Han Xin? Who is Han Xin? Is the new emperor able to come to Xuzhou City? Isn't it an encouragement to the military and civilians of Xuzhou? Speaking of which, Liu Wenyan is also a courageous act and dares to let the emperor take risks. If he is not a powerful minister with great wisdom, he is a shameless villain who does not distinguish between importance and shamelessly flatters. What kind of person do you think he is?"

Ma Feng was stunned. He wanted to say that Liu Wenyan was a villain, but when he thought about it, it seemed that he was not. Only the genius knew what kind of person he was.

…………

Xuzhou City is in a state of intense preparation for war when the war is approaching, while Jiankang City seems much calmer. Except for the city gate where King Huai was stabbed to martial law, the rest are no different from usual.

It was also at this time that the envoys of the court entered the city under the leadership of the right prime minister Yuan Bolang.

Originally, King Huai of the Emperor should have gone out of the city to welcome him. But because of the different circumstances this time, the court and King Huai of the Emperor were tearing apart for the world, which belonged to both the enemy and the enemy. Therefore, this time the mission was also a mission to the enemy country. At least King Huai did not show his importance to this envoy, but only accordingly, he sent the Prime Minister Meng Chuliang out of the city to welcome him.

The prime minister of the court was worthy of the prime minister of Huai. If you just send an ordinary diplomatic official, it would at least mean that the motive for King Huai to prepare for peace talks was impure, at least it was not sincere.

When Meng Chuliang saw Yuan Bolang, who was arrogant, immediately sued, saying that King Huai was assassinated and injured. In addition, he had been suffering from many years of illness, so he could not come out to greet the envoys.

He spoke very well and had sufficient reasons. Yuan Bolang, who was angry and was about to leave, also relieved his frown slightly. Accompanied by Meng Chuliang and a group of officials in Huai, he entered the city.

That damn boy didn't come, but asked me to come, making it clear that I wanted me to be idle by these villains! Yuan Bolang had already scolded Liu Wen, who had been killed thousands of times in his heart along the way, and then he made up for it again.

After entering the city, there was no place to settle down, and there was no time to see King Huai. Meng Chuliang directly invited the envoy to the other hall of King Huai's Mansion. There was a table in all directions and four people could sit in four corners. This was to start negotiations immediately. Yuan Bolang's journey was exhausted, and he didn't even give him a chance to rest.

"Captain Huai, what do you mean?"

When Yuan Bolang saw such a place, his tone became colder.

Meng Chuliang smiled and said, "My prince is very worried about the safety of the prince. I believe the court also hopes to stop the army soon and restore peace to Huainan. Let's get to the point directly and don't waste time."

It was obvious that he wanted to carry out fatigue bombing. Not only did he not give the envoys a rest time, he also invited a third party, the representative of King Ding, to supervise the negotiations in the name of a third party. Yuan Bolang was immediately angry. He was both a citizen of the court and was the same king. It would be fine if he asked the emperor to send envoys to negotiate with you. He also had so many tricks, which clearly showed that he was unjust!

But Yuan Bolang also knew that this was someone else's territory, and the consequences of the attack were very unfavorable to him, so he had to follow the established steps and negotiate the conditions of both parties first.

Yuan Bolang sat next to the table and took out a mud seal memorial. It was the negotiation that Liu Wenyan presented to the emperor, and the emperor sealed the memorial, stipulating that Yuan Bolang could only open it during negotiations.
