From a military perspective, Xun You's surprise attack on Danhan Mountain was successful. From a political perspective, it was not wise enough.

The emperor has not given rewards for a long time. Although he intends to set up the Youyan Protectorate Mansion, he has handed over the power and responsibilities of the Protectorate Mansion to the ministers to discuss, which is enough to show the emperor's unhappiness.

It was God's will for Xun Wenqian to give birth to a prince, but it was the heart of the people that Xun You deliberately promoted Zang Hong.

God’s will cannot be violated, but people’s will must not be guarded against.

Liu Ba is not as restrained and scruples as Xun Yu. He is blunt and denies Xun You's performance as stupid. It is completely different from what Xun You can do, and can only be attributed to a moment of dizziness.

This matter was troublesome enough, but now that Xun Wenqian has given birth to a prince, it is even more troublesome.

Even Liu Ba was helpless.

The two sat withered for a while. Xun Yu came to his senses and told Liu Ba that he had discussed with Fu Wan and decided to send Queen Fu Shou to the house. After the New Year, Fu Shou was seventeen and could have children. When Xun Wenqian was breastfeeding, Queen Fu Shou happened to return to her due position, which was natural.

Liu Ba joked, I was afraid that the queen would not be able to endure that hardship. The emperor was on Xiu Tuze, on the edge of the desert, and heard that the wind and sand were very strong. If she had this determination, why would she have waited until now? She should have gone long ago.

Xun Yu was not easy to take on Liu Ba’s topic, so he just smiled bitterly.

He also felt that Fushou could not bear the hardship, but he had no other choice. In order to calm himself down, he had to do so.

Liu Ba also said that although Bingliang is under the control of the court, it is not uncommon for bandits to be robbed. Since it is your suggestion to send the queen to the journey, you must arrange the protection along the way and no accidents can happen.

Xun Yu agreed. It was because he was worried that something would happen that he decided to let Xun Yun follow him. If something happened to Fushou and others thought he did it on purpose, he would really jump into the Yellow River and would not be able to wash it.

"Zi Chu, what do you think the emperor is trying to set up the Youyan Protectorate Mansion?"

"It should be sincere." Liu Ba said: "I have been delaying for so long and have not given up the reward. I have expressed my dissatisfaction. There is no need to test anyone with such an important thing. Of course, it is okay to take the opportunity to see the wishes of the ministers and ministers."

"What about your opinion?"

"The jurisdiction is outside the border, and no restraint should be controlled to avoid being overwhelmed. This is the fundamental reason. As for war, the court can transfer some of its troops to assist in the battle. Before leaving office, the Protector is not allowed to enter the border." Liu Ba thought for a while and said: "It is best to set a term of office, such as five years or ten years. If it is too short, it is not conducive to border stability. If it is too long, it is easy to grow."

Xun Yu's eyes flashed slightly. "This is a good method. In addition, everyone in the court will have to go through at least one term of buffering before they can hold important military positions to avoid collusion between inside and outside."

Xun Yu said, pulling a piece of paper, lifting a pen, and writing down the key points they discussed one by one, and soon it was full.

Don't slaughter.

It snowed heavily last night, and the lakeside was covered with heavy snow, and the white area was covered with white.

Liu Xie stood up as usual, moved his body in front of the tent, practiced the knife for a while, and did not stop until he had sweated slightly.

"Your Majesty's sword technique has been perfect, and only practical combat is lacking." Wang Yue, who was a trainer, said: "After the New Year, you can practice swords."

"No hurry, I always feel that the sword technique has not yet reached its level." Liu Xie also put the knife into the sheath, let out a sigh, and looked at the frozen lake. Some children were sliding on the ice, and the carefree laughter came, which made people envious.

Some of these children are about the same age as Liu Xie, but they do not have to bear the responsibilities of Liu Xie and can enjoy their youth as much as possible.

"Your Majesty's sword technique is already perfect."

"I can't have a knife in my heart, no knife in my hand." Liu Xie suddenly raised his hand and drew his sword, but he did not draw the knife, and the knife was still in the sheath.

Wang Yue was slightly stunned, then slowly took a step back, holding the scabbard with his left hand, pressing the hilt with his right hand, lowering his eyebrows and lowering his eyes, and was silent for a moment. "I understand, Your Majesty is saying that Master is learning the piano and knowing the meaning of King Wen."

"What the sword master said is very much."

"Then Your Majesty should learn swords even more." Wang Yue's style was collected. "Swords are gentlemen's weapons."

Liu Xie raised his eyebrows, wanted to speak but stopped, and turned into a chuckle.

He ideally means Wang Yue. Although Wang Yue is a martial artist, he does not want to regard himself as a martial artist and likes to discuss the Tao with martial artists. It is an appearance to persuade him to practice swords, and to persuade him to abandon domineering, and the truth is the kingly way.

"Sword Master, the queen is coming. You will go with Zhao Yun, the left governor of Sanqi, to welcome the queen."

"Yes." Wang Yue bowed and accepted the order.

"I'm telling the edict of the Yulin girl riding Ma Yunlu, and let her lead fifty horses and go with you. Prepare for a while and you will set off tomorrow."

"Vei." Wang Yue took the order and turned around and left.

Liu Xie stood in front of the tent, looked at the lake, and felt that there was nothing to arrange, so he turned around and returned to the tent. With Hu Xiu and He Shan's service, after washing up, he turned around to Xun Wenqian's tent beside him.

A fire broke out in the tent, Xun Wenqian was lying in the quilt, and Mrs. Wei was feeding porridge. In the cradle next to it, the newborn was sleeping soundly. Lu Xiaohuan lay on the side and secretly fiddled with his little face with his fingers.

"So tender." Lu Xiaohuan was envious. "It's tenderer than the newly born lamb."

"Shut up!" Mrs. Wei didn't look back and slapped Lu Xiaohuan on the back of her head. "As you, Awen, don't talk too much, and there is nothing that makes people love to hear."

"Hehe." Lu Xiaohuan was not annoyed either. "Mother, wait for my Aweng to come back, you can help me have a younger brother. It's so fun."

Mrs. Wei was poked into the weak point, and her face changed immediately. She raised her legs and wanted to kick her. When she turned around, she saw Liu Xie entering the tent, she quickly stood up and bowed to show her salute. When Lu Xiaohuan heard the footsteps, she turned around and jumped up quickly, bowed quickly, and then slipped out of Liu Xie.

Liu Xie glanced at Mrs. Wei and said seriously: "I think that I have told Ai to say so much."

Mrs. Wei was very embarrassed. She said without restraint before that the emperor might not be able to give birth. If today she had a son, she became the target of the emperor's joke, but she was unable to refute it.

"Your Majesty." Xun Wenqian was hunched and was about to get up.

Liu Xie took a step forward and gently pressed her shoulder. "I said that you should not be polite and take care of your body first."

"With Mrs. Wei's care, I'm very good, so I can get out of bed and walk around." Xun Wenqian smiled and said, "It's because she is afraid that I'm tired, so she insists on feeding me, as if I'm so weak."

"I am not a noble man, but I am not a troublesome person. It is really different from the Central Plains. The wind is like a knife. If you don't pay attention to keeping warm now, you will suffer for the rest of your life in the future."

Speaking of nursing, Mrs. Wei suddenly became energetic and talked endlessly, as if she was a professional.

Since Hua Tuo's prediction failed, Mrs. Wei has become the only nursing expert, and Xun Wenqian's postpartum care is all under her charge.

"Listen to the experts." Liu Xie also said.

"Wi." Xun Wenqian pursed her lips and smiled. "Your Majesty, is there any news from Mrs. Wen? Mrs. Wei is very worried."

"It's fast. According to the schedule, you should have returned from Langjuxu Mountain. It's as fast as half a month, and it's as slow as one month, and you should be able to return." Liu Xie thought for a while and said, "Let's almost arrive with the queen. Mrs. Wei, you are familiar with the climate of the northern border. After the queen arrives, you will be responsible for taking care of it."

Xun Wenqian said: "Your Majesty, taking care of the queen is a big deal. You should have a position, so it should not be brief."

Liu Xie turned to look at Xun Wenqian. "How about Da Chang Qiucheng?"

Xun Wenqian was stunned. "Your Majesty, this is an official position of 600 stone, and he is the same level as Lantai Lingshi."

Liu Xie raised his hand and sorted out a strand of hair on Xun Wenqian's forehead. "Mrs. Wei is a life-long wife, and she has already wronged her as a 600-stone official position." He turned to Mrs. Wei and said, "Right?"
