Xiao Shengxing has also been busy these days. In the court, the incident of the bandits heading west into the mountains has been fermenting, and the ministers are talking about it.
Regarding this incident, Xiao Shengxing pondered for a moment and said, "I believe this matter should be handled as soon as possible to avoid causing widespread impact."
Prime Minister Zhang Wenfeng stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty is quite right. I believe that Your Highness personally suppressed the bandits last time and achieved good results. It would be more appropriate to let Your Highness go this time."
Xiao Shengxing looked at Xiao Zhaolin without saying anything.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Zhaolin shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, I have been very busy these past few days and I am really lacking in energy. It is difficult for me to take on this important task."
He spoke these words quickly, as if he had already prepared the wording and was just waiting to refuse when it was his turn to speak.
Such behavior is perfunctory and sloppy.
Xiao Shengxing frowned and looked at Xiao Zhaolin with a serious expression.
He knew very well that Xiao Zhaolin's action was clearly meant to show his displeasure.
Xiao Zhaolin calmly returned his gaze and said, "Let the Prime Minister decide on this matter. I'm sure he has a suitable candidate."
Zhang Wenfeng's face lit up with joy, and he quickly said, "Your Majesty, I think Zhang Xiao can go. He has always been loyal to the emperor and patriotic, and he will definitely be able to share Your Majesty's worries."
Seeing the two of them singing the same tune, Xiao Shengxing's face flashed with a trace of extreme reluctance, but he quickly put it away and said with a curled lip, "In that case, let Zhang Xiao go."
After saying this, a hint of anger flashed in his deep eyes, but he could only agree temporarily.
What happened in the court soon reached Su Lijin's ears.
She changed into Shiqi's clothes and went to meet Xiao Shengxing.
As soon as she got close to Xiao Shengxing, she clearly felt the coldness from him. It was obvious that he was very dissatisfied with what happened today.
"The Prime Minister recommended Zhang Xiao. This old man is always using his power for personal gain!"
Xiao Shengxing looked at her, the coldness in his eyes softened, and he nodded: "If Zhang Xiao goes to the west mountain, I'm afraid a lot of trouble will happen."
He and Su Lijin had met Zhang Xiao before, and were well aware of his past of corruption and abuse of power. It would probably be extremely difficult for Zhang Xiao to go west into the mountains and suppress the bandits.
"It's not that there is no solution." Su Lijin touched his chin.
Xiao Shengxing suddenly looked at him, his dark eyes deep: "You mean?"
Su Lijin raised an eyebrow: "Wouldn't it be easier to just kill them along the way?"
