Seven days later.
When Xing Bang arrived in the capital, Liu Xian, who had received the news in advance, led civil and military officials to welcome him in the Arc de Triomphe. The scene was extremely lively and grand.
The palace had already prepared a celebratory banquet, and Liu Xian simply asked Xing Bang to ride on his dragon chariot and go directly to the palace.
"Brother Xing, you have made an invaluable contribution this time. Not only did you stabilize the northern border..."
"I never thought that you could win the battle without bloodshed and save the vitality of Dayao. I have always been worried that after the northern border is pacified, Northern Qi will launch a large-scale invasion, which has made me lose my appetite for a while!"
"Haha, now it's good. You actually conquered my useless brother. What makes me even more overjoyed is that he actually captured several strong cities on the border of Northern Qi in just a few days. He can be said to have a foothold."
Liu Xian was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling. He had coveted the land of Yeqin ten years ago, but Northern Qi did not abide by martial ethics. They fought many battles, big and small, for the territory of Yeqin, but in the end they still did not get any city. Yeqin has been occupied by Northern Qi ever since.
Xing Bang laughed out loud: "This is all thanks to your Majesty's great blessing!"
"Brother Xing, you forgot again. Have you become estranged from me after being away for a while?"
"Haha, Your Majesty, please don't misunderstand me. It was just a slip of the tongue, a slip of the tongue!"
Xing Bang understood immediately. The two of them had an agreement beforehand that he could just call him brother in private. He really didn't expect that Li Xian was so concerned and sensitive about this matter.
This also proves one point, that Xing Bang's position is even more indispensable. Liu Xian knows very well that he must rely on him well.
"Next time, remember this. When you return to the palace, you will be punished by drinking three glasses of wine!"
"Okay, I'll keep this in mind. I'll drink three glasses of wine as punishment later."
Xing Bang responded.
Liu Xian nodded and said, "My brother, Prince Xing, when I mentioned Liu Li just now, I still feel a little worried..."
"Through this battle, the Zhenbei Army's combat power is extraordinary. Prince Xing should be more cautious in the future!"
It was obvious that Liu Xian was still not very confident about Liu Li's powerful army.
Xing Bang could also understand that it was normal for Liu Xian, a suspicious person by nature and an emperor, to have such worries.
The problem could be solved so properly this time, only because Xing Bang made the final decision. It would be impossible for anyone else to do it. Even if there were huge benefits, Liu Xian would rather let Dayao put his grandson in the pot. He would definitely eradicate the rebellion at all costs.
"Your Majesty, your worries are not unreasonable, but you don't have to worry too much. I never do anything without confidence."
"Although Liu Li has gained a foothold, this incident has completely angered Northern Qi. From now on, he can only rely on us wholeheartedly. There is no other way out."
"Besides, although Liu Li has occupied several strong cities, even if he digs three feet deep into the ground, he still cannot support the huge expenses of his army of more than 200,000. Without our backup, he will starve to death."
"Also, even if Liu Li dares to have any disloyal intentions, I have enough backup plans. He is just looking for death."
"Okay, okay, since Brother Xing has foresight and is so sure, I am relieved."
"After I officially confer the title of King Xing as the One and Only King, it will be your responsibility to take care of the military and political affairs of Dayao. As for the Crown Prince, I will also have to trouble you to teach him more."
Liu Xian was just giving a reminder, but after hearing what Xing Bang said, he naturally stopped worrying and had nothing to be concerned about.
Now, Liu Xian had to use the ceremonial stick rather than wanting it. To put it bluntly, there was no other way out.
Today, Liu Xian is very clear in his mind. Only if he completely trusts and relies on Xing Bang, he doesn't know whether Dayao can still rule the world.
However, only in this way could his son Liu Hui ascend the throne smoothly.
If Liu Xian couldn't get effective treatment, he wouldn't have long to live. However, he didn't care. He just hoped that his lineage could be passed on and he would die without regrets.
Otherwise, who could do such a thing as entrusting one's wife and children to someone else?
"Oh, by the way, Your Majesty, when I returned to the capital this time, I not only brought back a group of captives, but also all the women in Liu Li's palace, and one hundred concubines..."
Things like Xing Bang should be made clear.
Without waiting for Xing Bang to finish his words, Liu Xian waved his hand and said, "Brother Xing, you just need to handle these matters properly."
"To be honest, we are brothers, you are not making fun of me, my brother. With my situation, the harem is full of troubles."
Liu Xian said with a slightly bitter look on his face, I have the will but not the ability.
"Brother Emperor, the captives are easy to deal with, but the family members of the Zhenbei Palace and the one hundred beautiful girls still need an explanation and proper placement."
Hearing this, Liu Xian nodded and agreed with Xing Bang's statement.
Everything else is easy, except the women in the Zhenbei Palace. They are not captives now. Even if Li Xian is interested, he cannot justifiably give them to anyone.
Not to mention other people, even Liu Xian couldn't touch them openly. After all, these women were hostages left in the capital by the noble King Zhenbei.
"The women of the Zhenbei Palace still need to be taken care of. It's not appropriate to let them enter the palace. It will inevitably lead to criticism and it will also chill the hearts of the Zhenbei Army soldiers."
"How about this, just keep it in your house outside the palace."
"Your Majesty is really thoughtful."
Xing Bang smiled knowingly. It was obvious that Liu Xian understood the reason.
But then again, everything inside and outside the palace is the same.
