Liang Yulin knew that his eldest son had ambitions to serve in the imperial court.
So he smiled and said, "I think it's a waste to let Han Zheng stay in the northern border as a general. Although he has the talent of a general, judging from his achievements in Heyang County and Beicheng, he is more suitable to be a civil servant."
The Minister of Revenue also said immediately: "I second the proposal."
"I also think Xiao Hanzheng is a talented person. Our Ministry of Revenue really needs such an official."
Princess Fubao is a golden child, and Xiao Hanzheng can turn her ideas into money that benefits the country and the people. Their Ministry of Revenue is in need of such an official who can make money.
The Minister of War could not help but say upon seeing this: "On the contrary, I think Xiao Hanzheng has the talent of a general and strategy, and is more suitable for our Ministry of War."
Xiao Hanzheng is capable and has a golden child by his side, so it would be great for him to come to the Ministry of War.
The Minister of Works was not to be outdone, "Xiao Hanzheng and Princess Fubao built a craftsman academy in North City. I heard that it is very popular among the people. I think he is very suitable for the Ministry of Works."
Who wouldn’t want a capable subordinate who also comes with a golden doll?
The Minister of Rites also said with a smile: "Xiao Hanzheng is a top three scholar, so it is suitable for him to join the Ministry of Rites."
Others did not expect that the ministers of the four ministries were all vying for Xiao Hanzheng. They discovered that Xiao Hanzheng and his wife had risen this time, and their value was even greater than they had ever estimated.
Except for the Crown Prince who showed no emotion, the other princes all showed some emotion on their faces.
I was thinking about how to win over Xiao Hanzheng.
More people thought of Xiao Baili and Xiao Hanyi.
The emperor had plans for Xiao Hanzheng's future career. He smiled and said, "Let's talk about it after the war between the two countries is over."
It would be a waste to be a general, but it is not appropriate to be transferred back to the capital right away. It would be safer to train more and gain more experience.
Everyone present could see that the emperor attached great importance to Xiao Hanzheng, and each of them also attached even greater importance to Xiao Hanzheng.
No one mentioned the matter of the old immortal, but both the emperor and his ministers were very concerned about it.
The princes and ministers all knew that Princess Fubao's fortune was still to come, so they would rather make friends with her than make enemies with her.
After returning, several princes and some ministers sent messages to the North City.
They all focused on Xiao Baili and Xiao Hanyi.
If he could marry Xiao Baili, or marry his daughter to Xiao Hanyi, not only would he be able to win over Xiao Hanzheng and his wife, he would also be able to gain the attention of King Yi, thus having the best of both worlds.
The Liang family, the old man and others felt a little regretful that Liang Youxiao had gone out to sea to make a living, otherwise he would still have had hope of marrying Xiao Baili.
However, since Liang Youxiao and Xiao Hanzheng were on good terms, it was beneficial for the Liang family, so they had no choice but to give up the marriage and did not send a message to Beicheng.
The Xi family also did not send any message.
Although they also hope that Xi Rui can marry Xiao Baili, they don't want to interfere too much.
If Xi Rui didn't like Xiao Baili, they wouldn't force him.
If Xi Rui becomes enlightened, he will naturally take the initiative to pursue her, and they won't have to worry about it.
Their family does not need Xi Rui's marriage to consolidate their position.
Then the news that Xiao Hanzheng led his army to capture the border town of Ge State and captured the unconscious Yelu Donghe and several main generals soon spread to Beicheng.
From the wealthy families to the common people, everyone was excited.
"Lord Xiao is so amazing. He captured the enemy's most important border town so quickly."
"We even captured the opponent's coach. This is so satisfying."
"I heard that the Ge Kingdom sent a new commander, but I don't know what's going on?"
"We in Daliang are not afraid of anyone. Their god of war, the Northern King, and their strongest general, Yelu Donghe, were both defeated by Lord Xiao. Anyone else will be defeated as well."
"In addition to the powerful Lord Xiao, we also have Princess Fubao."
"That's right. If they are not afraid of the old immortal, they can just go and capture Princess Fubao and see if they can't be killed by the explosion."
"With Lord Xiao and Princess Fubao, our northern border is stable."
For a time, Xiao Hanzheng and Shi Qingluo's reputations in Northern Xinjiang rose to a new level.
Of course, as good news continued to come in, there were also a small number of people who were extremely angry and felt very uncomfortable.
For example, Prince Jin lying on the bed, the Empress Dowager who was forced to practice asceticism in the Buddhist temple, Mrs. Tu and her son from the Tu family, and Ruan Songling and her daughter.
They had originally hoped that Xiao Hanzheng and Shi Qing would die on the battlefield, but who would have thought that not only did they not die, but they also made continuous contributions and their reputations became better and better. It was really infuriating.
The forces of the previous dynasty that were constantly being purged were also very aggrieved.
They cooperated with Ge Guo and defeated the Third Prince, the main commander, and crippled Xiao Yuanshi. Who would have thought that Ge Guo was so weak that he was beaten back by Xiao Hanzheng like this.
A small courtyard in the north city.
Zhuo Zheng, who had not appeared for a long time, sat at the top, and below him sat the few remaining important figures from the previous dynasty.
A middle-aged man walked in quickly from outside and said to Zhuo Zheng, "Young Master, there is news from the Ge Kingdom, asking us to do a favor."
Zhuo Zheng looked unhappy, "What can I do for you?"
His biological father was crippled, the Prince Jin's Mansion was controlled by the hated Liang Mingyu, and his biological mother was captured and placed under house arrest in the capital. He was really going crazy.
The middle-aged man replied: "The Ge Kingdom wants us to capture Xiao Baili and Xiao Hanyi and send them to the border as hostages."
Xiao Hanzheng and his wife attach great importance to their brother and sister. If they can control them and use them as hostages, they can disrupt Xiao Hanzheng's offensive.
Maybe it could even force Xiao Hanzheng to retreat with his army.
Zhuo Zheng frowned, "Do they really think that Xiao Baili and Xiao Hanyi are so easy to catch?"
Given how smart Xiao Hanzheng and Shi Qingluo are, they will definitely be prepared.
The middle-aged man sighed, "It's hard to catch him, but we have to catch him."
"The princess and others have been arrested and placed under house arrest. Now we can only unite with the Ge Kingdom and allow them to successfully invade. Only then will we have hope of turning the situation around."
"Otherwise, if Xiao Hanzheng really defeats the Ge Kingdom, he will definitely make us the first target to be eliminated after returning to North City."
They have been active in the northern border for more than ten years, and this is the first time they have been forced into this situation.
Xiao Hanzheng and Shi Qingluo played a big role in this, so how could they not hate them?
Zhuo Zheng originally didn't want to do such a thing. He had been with Shi Qingluo for a while and knew that the couple was really not easy to mess with.
Just look at what happened to your parents and the Tu family and you will know.
But as this person said, if they don't do it, they might be even worse off.
He also hopes that one day in the future he can take back the throne.
After struggling for a while, Zhuo Zheng took a deep breath and said, "Okay, you guys make a plan to capture him."
If you can't escape, then do it.
The middle-aged man was very satisfied with the answer, "Yes!"
In fact, even if Zhuo Zheng disagreed, they would still go ahead.
Now, to them, Zhuo Zheng is just a puppet with the bloodline of the previous dynasty.
Xiao Hanyi's life mainly revolves around two points: school and home.
Xiao Baili seldom goes out recently. She is writing the lesson plan that Qing Luo mentioned.
After the Artisan Academy opens, a cooking class will be offered and she will be the teacher.
That day, she was working on a pastry in the kitchen when the housekeeper suddenly ran in in a hurry.
"Miss, something bad has happened. Someone delivered a bloody letter."
