Chapter Twelve: Calming the Chaos
Although it is a peaceful era, there will be conflicts in places where there are people. If there are conflicts, there will be places where there will be conflicts. The remote cities far away from the capital still have constant wars. Among them, Yizhou City is one.
Yizhou City is located in the southern part of the imperial city, more than ten days away from the capital. The governor of Yizhou Lin Jian had a small military power in his hands, but he did not quell the riots, but instead colluded and was ready to move. The location of this place was not easy to transfer people from the border, so he had to send people from the imperial city. As for Xiluo, who had just returned to the capital, the emperor urgently needed him to establish prestige. It was undoubtedly a good candidate to quell the riots, and it was just right to see his abilities.
Not long after the crown prince's ceremony, Xi Luo received such an order. The rectification of the Luo Palace and the collection of information from the harem ministers were temporarily handed over to Xue Kai and Liuli for management.
In fact, Liuli wanted to follow Xiluo to pacify, but Xiluo said it was a trivial matter, and his father also said that it was just a training and would not be too dangerous. The palace needs Liuli's help, so Liuli stayed.
I have to say that Liuli is also a talented person and is very quick to get started in the business of the royal palace.
Two months passed in a flash. Xiluo returned to pacify and brought back the troops from Yizhou City. In the next few months, Xiluo frequently went on a war, quelling the chaos in various places, silently establishing prestige among the people, and expanding his own power. He also controlled a certain amount of troops and horses. At the same time, he was increasingly valued by the prince, the fourth prince, and the neutral ministers in the court. Maybe he was also a strong competitor to the future throne.
In the past few months, Liuli has also returned to Liushishan to visit Liu Yun. Liu Yun's mood has recovered, but his idea of revenge has not changed. Liu Xuan was very strange. He always approached Liu Li intentionally or unintentionally, neither asking about the palace nor asking about the Luo Palace. It was like simply cultivating feelings? The two have grown up together since childhood, so they have some understanding. In Liu Li's memory, Liu Xuan is like everyone's big brother.
He took care of everyone, but he felt that he had a certain distance from everyone. He took great care of Liuli and Xiluo. Maybe they were not able to integrate into everyone. Liuli thought so before. But now that he knew that Liuxuan and Liuxuan's family were both killed by the emperor, Liuxuan's reaction to Xiluo was normal, but Liuxuan was lukewarm and made Liuli unable to see through. He could not see Liuxuan's hatred. Speaking of the death of his family seemed to be commonplace, but he also said he wanted to take revenge.
Then there was Liu Yoon, who survived the emperor's pursuit and lived under the same roof with the emperor's son for two years, treating him as his friend. You can imagine that now Liu Yoon and Xi Luo have no contact, and Liu Yoon finally calmed down.
These days, Liu Xuan also introduced some of his own forces to Liu Li. Liu Li was secretly shocked. She had never noticed Liu Xuan's power. But why did he tell himself this that he was a royal family and was an enemy of the emperor. However, Liu Li really would not tell these things. On the one hand, he was nostalgic for the elder brother who took care of him since childhood, and on the other hand, he felt sorry for Liu Xuan. If possible, Liu Li also hoped that Liu Xuan could live a simple life.
Since that banquet, Liuli has never met the Fourth Prince, and only met again at Xiluo's welcome banquet.
Xi Luo's body was no longer thin, and the war made him much stronger. The prince and the fourth prince sent olive branches to Xi Luo more than once, but Xi Luo turned a deaf ear and couldn't help but make people doubt his ambitions. Only Liuli knew that he was simply completing the things assigned by his father, just like he had completed the task when he was a secret guard. As for the arrival of these powers, he was just thinking of reaching a certain level and punishing the concubines who killed his mother back then.
But the relationship in the palace is not so simple and transparent, and it is difficult for ordinary people to imagine that it is confusing and complex. Xi Luo has always believed that he has a mother's father in his heart, and the emperor's brothers who appear to be friendly and respectful, gave Xi Luo a wake-up call.
