Yao Tingyu did not say anything messy nonsense, but directly pointed out the purpose.

When Xiao Yuan heard this, he smiled heartily and said:

"Okay, although I have not met with King Xuan, I have heard that King Xuan is a wise king. Qin and Xuan can establish diplomatic relations, which is also a mutually beneficial act for both countries."

Hearing this, Yao Tingyu immediately said loudly: "Your Highness is wise, and this is what my king means."

No matter what Xiao Yuan thought in his heart, on the other hand, he would not refuse anyone in the world to have friendly relations with him.

As the saying goes, a weak country has no diplomacy. In the past, who would have paid attention to the kings of Qin? But now, after the destruction of Jin, it represents the rise of weak Qin.

No one in the world dares to underestimate the King of Qin anymore.

After talking to Yao Tingyu again, Xiao Yuan also began to say:

"Xiangbang has been exhausted all the way. At noon today, I will hold a banquet in the palace to welcome you to get rid of your fatigue."

"Ah, His Highness the King of Qin invites you so kindly, how dare I refuse?" Yao Tingyu had no intention of being polite.

Xiao Yuan smiled heartily again and then stood up: "Today's banquet, all the ministers and the solitary people went with them."

"I'm following the order-" the people said together.

The atmosphere at the banquet that day was quite good. During the meal, everyone was drinking, and their faces were rosy. Xiao Yuan did not neglect Xuan Xiang. He drank from time to time and gave him the etiquette he should have.

After the banquet, someone asked someone to arrange Yao Tingyu, and Xiao Yuan was also a little dizzy, so he went back to Gu Xue's bedroom and prepared to have a lunch break here.

As soon as he came in, he lay on the bed and breathed a little tiredly.

"Drinking so much wine." Gu Xue said complaining and distressedly, and began to gently press his head for him.

"It's better to be a madam." He laid on her legs and closed his eyes comfortably.

"Just you will say, don't drink this in the future." Gu Xue gave him charmingly.

"Xue'er doesn't know that the Prime Minister Xuan Yao Tingyu looked smiling, but in fact, she was so proud and shameless."

Hearing this, Gu Xue couldn't help but laugh, "How did he offend you?"

Her fingers were gentle and she continued to gently press Xiao Yuan on her head.

The latter said: "This is a sure thing for my country to worry about. I send it to you with this gift. Xuan Xiang came here. Isn't it just that Qin should not care about the treasury of Jin State."

"What do you think about husband?"

"So much gold and silver are enough to enrich the country. King Xuan obtained it for nothing with vicious plans. How could he not mind it? But I have to agree to Xuan Xiang." Xiao Yuan said helplessly.

"Oh, so, husband, King Xuan, have some tricks." Gu Xue said.

"I won't say it anymore, it's annoying."

Xiao Yuan interrupted the topic and then gently held her little hand, "Are you tired, madam?"

Gu Xue shook her head gently.

This daughter-in-law is gentle and understanding. Xiao Yuan is the most relaxed and troubled time here.

The next day, after meeting Yao Tingyu again, the latter did not stop for much and began to say goodbye to Xiao Yuan and return to Xuanguo.

At the same time, all the soldiers who participated in the battle against Jin were awarded military merits and returned to their hometowns, which was equivalent to a holiday.

A few days later, the summoned county magistrate Chen Zhongshu hurried back to the capital.

At this time, he actually didn't know what the king had called him back. He was busy all the way, and after arriving in Qinzhou, he didn't dare to delay for a moment. After sorting out the inn, he went to the palace.

However, at the palace gate, someone was already waiting for him.

The person waiting for him was Yan Ming, Minister of Rites.

After the two met, Chen Zhongshu hurried forward and bowed and said, "Brother Yan."

"Brother Chen." The latter returned a bow and stopped talking nonsense and said directly: "This time the king summons you to return to the capital. Brother Chen knows that 80% of them are related to the affairs of the governor of Guiyang County."

"What?"

Hearing this, Chen Zhongshu was shocked and immediately became nervous. He couldn't help but say, "I'm not prepared at all, what should I do if I do?"

"I just heard some news today, and I didn't have time to notify you. I was waiting here to let you know about this." Yan Ming said.

So that's it. Chen Zhongshu nodded and said, "I guess it must be Brother Yan recommending it to the king, and he will never thank him for his kindness."

"No, no, no, I just mentioned Brother Chen's name. The real decision is still with the king."

Yan Ming said, and urged him again: "Brother Chen, please enter the palace quickly. Remember, the king is not an ordinary person. You should say whatever you should say. Never care about him. What the king cares about is whether you can be competent for the position of county magistrate. Other things are not important."

As a court official, Yan Ming had some understanding of his master.

Upon hearing this, Chen Zhongshu knew what he knew and bowed again: "Thank you, Brother Yan."

"Brother Chen's talent is enough to be the governor of Guiyang County. I also believe that the king can recognize talents with keen eyes, go quickly."

Although Yan Ming and him were friends for many years, they sincerely recommended officials. From his words, it is not difficult to see that Chen Zhongshu is not a mediocre person.

There is no doubt that this is a meeting between the monarch and ministers that concerns Chen Zhongshu's future. After being taken to the palace study by the eunuch, he became more and more nervous.

As soon as he came in, he lowered his waist, walked forward quickly, then knelt on the ground, put his hands on his head, raised his butt, and said slightly tremblingly: "My minister, Zitong County Chief Chen Zhongshu, see the king--"

"I'm calm." Xiao Yuan's voice was very calm.

"Thank you, King--" Chen Zhongshu shouted again, and after getting up, he bowed slightly and stood there respectfully.

Xiao Yuan looked him up and said that he was a middle-aged civil servant with an ordinary appearance and a very good beard decoration.

After looking at it, he pondered for a moment, and then said, "Mr. Chen, do you know why I summoned you back to the capital?"

After hearing this, Chen Zhongshu carefully considered it and returned truthfully: "I didn't know when I came, but I just heard from Shangshu Yan that it seemed to be related to the governor of Guiyang County."

"Then can you be competent?" Xiao Yuan asked directly.

Chen Zhongshu immediately replied: "Of course, if you get appointed by the king, I will have absolute confidence to manage Guiyang well."

“How to manage it?”

Chen Zhongshu said: "In places where you don't understand, you should first sort out the books, inspect the county, past political affairs, then personally understand the local area, understand the people's conditions, discuss the existing disadvantages of people's livelihood with the county government, and then use the most effective method to implement Qin ruling, strictly enforce the laws, and unify our country's government orders."

Seeing what he said so confidently, Xiao Yuan smiled slightly and said:

"Mr. Chen said it well, but the most important thing is an official's firm position."

"Some officials in our country believe that not making mistakes, not making progress, and just living a life of silence is to protect themselves. In fact, mediocrity is different from greed. In my opinion, it is even more terrible than greed."

"If an official cannot care about the country and the people's affairs, no matter how capable he is, he will not have a way out."

"Be an official and a good official. Only when you benefit the people will the people praise you, and the country needs you..."

He said this all the time. After listening to it, Chen Zhongshu hurriedly knelt on the ground and said in a trembling voice:
Chapter completed!
