Qin Rushuang has been very busy in the next few days.
She sorted out the guest list for Qingzhi's wedding banquet, and it was indeed as she and Gu Meiren said, it was going to be a big event.
Qin Rushuang spent the rest of the time in the yard Baiji found for him.
She personally went to see the location of the courtyard, and then found a famous craftsman in Kyoto to prepare and renovate it.
The first day Qin Rushuang went to the courtyard, Xie Xun said nothing and left the mansion early as usual.
Qin Rushuang was tired after a busy day, so Qingzhi lit a column of soothing incense for her.
Green smoke curls up, a rare calm.
But not long after, Qin Rushuang got news about her younger brother Qin Rufeng.
Bai Ji told Qin Rushuang the news.
"Miss, there is news from the young master. The prince has ordered him to follow the prince as a personal soldier."
Upon hearing the news, Qin Rushuang showed a playful smile.
From a centurion to a personal soldier of Xie Xun...
If it were other people, they might not understand Xie Xun's intentions, but Qin Rushuang was very aware of Xie Xun's every move——
At the beginning, Nie Lei, Zou Yuan, and even You Shao and others were all promoted by Xie Xun.
If Xie Xun intends to promote someone, he will keep the person by his side as a personal soldier and observe him for a period of time.
There are many and complicated things that a soldier needs to do, not only to hone his character, but also to observe the person's character up close. Of course, the most important thing is to have people by his side so that he can slowly get in touch with the core military affairs.
Therefore, Xie Xun's move was probably to promote Qin Rufeng.
Thinking of this, even Qin Rushuang couldn't help but admire Xie Xun.
Qin Rushuang didn't comment on Xie Xun when it came to matters of love, but Xie Xun was indeed a good hand when it came to leading troops to fight and knowing people and making good use of them.
The lieutenants around him were all selected by Xie Xun. They started from small soldiers and gradually reached the position of lieutenant general. Although the lieutenants had different personalities, they could get along well with each other, and they all had the same affection for Xie Xun.
Exceptional loyalty.
It doesn't matter if one person is strong. The scary thing is that all the people under him agree that they are as strong as him and obey his orders. This is the real ability.
This can also be seen from another aspect.
That was when Qin Rushuang had just taken over the border guard army. Although she was an instant success and led the border guard army to fight a beautiful battle, she still had Xie Xun's previous orders to the soldiers.
It can only be said that Xie Xun's control over the border troops has reached a level that even Qin Rushuang admires.
Who can give an order and have all the soldiers follow the new general wholeheartedly?
Even though this general was a controversial woman, the soldiers of the border army followed the orders and prohibitions with meticulous attention to detail. They truly engraved the French military orders in their bones.
Skilled in military tactics and calm.
He knows people well and has natural leadership skills.
This is the reason why Xie Xun can be called Daqi God of War.
This was also the reason why she admired Xie Xun in the first place.
Qin Rushuang was born to be strong, so she was also strong.
It was precisely because I appreciated Xie Xun's strength that I fell in love with him so deeply that I couldn't extricate myself.
Putting aside everything that happened after that, even Qin Rushuang had to admire Xie Xun in this regard.
Ten days passed quickly in Qin Rushuang's busy schedule.
The supervisory officials have returned to Kyoto with the results of their investigation into the border affairs. As expected, nothing was found.
Xie Xun seems to have found Qin Rushuang.
"The border matter has been investigated. Tomorrow you will enter the palace with me to accept the award from your father. Don't mention the matter of reconciliation in the future."
Qin Rushuang just said lightly, "Let's talk about it in the court hall tomorrow."
The next day, Qin Rushuang will enter the palace with Xie Xun.
When he went to court the next day, Emperor Qi's face was not very good.
The fourth prince Xie Yang also had a gloomy face.
Emperor Qi and Xie Yang never expected that they would send ministers to the border, but nothing would be found.
I don't know what Xie Xun did, but everyone at the border, including the general named Wang Jian, insisted that when Qin Rushuang led troops to attack Dayan for the last time, the military power had not been handed over, and the tiger charm was still in Qin Rushang's hands.
Qin Rushuang has the power to mobilize the border guards.
As for the previous few times, no one could find the fault with the general's military orders abroad.
Emperor Qi held back his anger. He originally wanted to beat the couple, but nothing was found, so he was naturally in a bad mood.
At the same time, an unprecedented vigilance arose in his heart.
To be wary is also to be anxious.
For the first time, he realized that his son, known as the God of War Da Qi, had really grown up, his wings had hardened, and he was so powerful that even he was helpless to do anything about it.
Xie Xun didn't know that Emperor Qi was afraid of him. If it weren't for protecting Qin Rushuang, he would rather Emperor Qi made some mistakes in this matter and punished him one or two more times to eliminate Emperor Qi's worries.
You must know that accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger. If Emperor Qi becomes wary of him, then although he may look good to outsiders, he will have to be cautious every day in the future, walking on thin ice.
but……
If it's for Qin Rushuang, everything is worth it.
"I have asked people to investigate the border issues. You two have indeed done well every time. Not only did you resist Dayan's attack, you even expanded the territory of my banner. You deserve a reward!"
Although Emperor Qi was talking about rewards, the atmosphere in the court was not relaxed.
Not to mention Xie Xun, even the ministers present knew that Emperor Qi was jealous of Xie Xun.
The weather in Kyoto... I'm afraid it's going to change.
Xie Xun and Qin Rushuang thanked Emperor Qi for the commendation, and as expected Xie Xun raised the issue of their separation.
"Father, the reconciliation between the son and the princess has been negotiated. It was the son's fault before, but now he has persuaded the princess to return. I'd like to trouble my father with this matter."
After saying this, Xie Xun felt that a big stone that had been weighing on his heart fell. As long as he persuaded Qin Rushuang first, he would have a long time to make up for the harm he had done to Qin Rushuang in the future.
Xie Yang on the side looked even more ugly when he heard this.
After Xie Xun returned to Kyoto, he always wanted to achieve two goals.
One is to use the border incident to punish Xie Xun, and the other is to drive Qin Rushuang, a powerful helper, away from Xie Xun.
Unexpectedly, even though he had calculated so much about these two things, he failed to achieve anything!
He looked at Qin Rushuang standing in the court hall, hoping to hold on to the last bit of luck and see what Qin Rushuang would say.
Noticing Xie Yang's gaze, Qin Rushuang glanced at him, and then turned her gaze to Emperor Qi.
"Father, I still want to make peace with you."
The joy on Xie Xun's face froze.
He looked back at Qin Rushuang in disbelief, "Didn't you promise me..."
"What did I promise to the prince? I never promised the prince anything."
Xie Xun almost broke his silver teeth: "We made a promise before, why did you go back on your word?!"
What he was referring to was that he had solved the border issues for Qin Rushuang, and Qin Rushuang would no longer make peace with him.
But how could he say such a thing in front of Emperor Qi? He could only look at Qin Rushuang angrily.
Qin Rushuang still said the same thing, "I have never reached any agreement with the prince, and I have never asked the prince to do anything to me."
"I am very grateful to my father for his affirmation of the border affairs, but this matter has nothing to do with me and Li's affairs."
Seeing that the two were about to quarrel again, Emperor Qi finally couldn't suppress the anger in his heart, "How outrageous! Are you two discussing the family's shortcomings in the main hall?"
"And you! Qin Rushuang! Don't just rely on your merits and get me to promise you something because of your little tricks before, and just hold on to it! I don't agree to change the matter of reconciliation!"
Qin Rushuang was silent. Emperor Qi's reaction was what she expected.
Then he finally revealed her ultimate goal.
"Okay, if my father doesn't allow it, I will never mention the matter of reconciliation in the future. The promise my father made to me before... just change it to another one."
"Father, do you still remember Qian Ertong, who lost his legs in order to inform his son and the prince?"
"My son wants to ask his father to let him join the court as an official."
