Xuanyuan Shao's expression was still calm, and when he heard Dingwu ask like this, he hesitated for a moment, and finally said: "Shengshang, the minister doesn't dare to say anything, but all the tribes of the barbarians know that Xuehua Niangniang is a concubine in my Daqin, if Xuehua Niangniang is the queen, the news should soon spread throughout the entire desert, and they will be even more grateful for doing this to the saint." ”

"Grateful?"

Xuanyuan Shao said: "Holy Lord, the customs of the barbarians are different from my Central Plains, their father and brother have passed away, and their sons and younger brothers have to take over the burden and take responsibility. For them, this is a natural custom, if the Holy Saint really set up the Snow Flower Lady as the queen, in the eyes of the barbarians, the Holy Lord respects their ancient customs, and they are naturally grateful. Seeing that Dingwu looked at himself and didn't speak, he continued: "And compared to the barbarian women of other tribes sent this time, Xuehua Niangniang has been adapted to my Qin Palace for a long time, and she also understands the rules of my Qin Palace. ”

A smile appeared on Dingwu's lips, and he said, "Xuanyuan, what do you mean, I understand, do you want me to follow the barbarians and handle my Great Qin's state affairs according to their customs?" ”

Xuanyuan Shao said: "The minister doesn't dare, these are just the minister's words." ”

"I want to use the barbarians as my tools, but in my eyes, a slave is a slave." Dingwu said slowly: "One day is a slave, always a slave, although I want to use the power of the barbarians, but I will never bow to the barbarians because of this, do you understand what I mean?" ”

Xuanyuan Shao was stunned for a moment, his expression was a little dazed, his eyes flashed, and he looked straight at Dingwu.

The courtiers looked at the emperor so directly, without squinting, it was undoubtedly offensive to the emperor's authority, Dingwu frowned, and said in a deep voice: "What do you want to say?" ”

Xuanyuan Shao's body was shocked, and when he saw Dingwu looking at him coldly, he was stunned again, and suddenly knelt on the ground, "The ministers are rude, ask the saint to confess!" ”

Seeing this, Dingwu was also slightly stunned, and groaned slightly, before he said: "What you said, I have already heard it and will consider it, you should retreat first." ”

Xuanyuan Shao glanced up at Dingwu, opened his mouth, but did not speak, got up, and retreated.

He frowned, and when he left the courtyard gate, he felt a little soft under his feet, and he stumbled, and the samurai guarding outside the door were all startled when they saw this, and one of them stepped forward to help, "Lord Commander, you!" ”

"It's okay!" Xuanyuan Shao raised his hand, stood upright, and glanced back at the courtyard, his brows locked even tighter.

After Xuanyuan Shao went out, Ding Wu sneered: "Liuli, did you hear what he said just now?" ”

"Holy Lord, the concubines have heard it." Liuli said softly: "What Commander Xuanyuan said is not unreasonable, the concubine thinks!" ”

"Doesn't that make sense?" Dingwu immediately interrupted and sneered: "You mean, I should set up Xuehua as the queen, and the emperor of the Great Qin Empire wants to flatter the barbarians?" ”

"The concubine doesn't dare." Liuli panicked: "That's not what the concubine meant!" ”

"It seems that Xuanyuan Shao has come together with the barbarians." Dingwu said coldly: "I have always trusted him, but I didn't expect him to have another heart. ”

"The saint, the commander of Xuanyuan is loyal to the saint, and the concubines and concubines can't see that he has two hearts." Liuli frowned and said: "He now has a heavy army to protect the saint, he is the saint's right-hand man, and he is also the general that the saint relies on at the moment, the saint must not misunderstand him." ”

Dingwu sighed: "Liuli, you are still too simple and don't understand the sinister hearts of people. ”

"Holy Lord, what do you mean?"

"I tell you that if I really want to make Xuehua the queen, then it will not be me who the barbarian tribes are grateful for, but him." Dingwu clenched his fists, "Xuanyuan Shao has already walked with Xuehua, just Xuehua, it can't make Xuanyuan Shao work so hard, if I guess correctly, Xuanyuan Shao is just using Xuehua as a tool to get involved with the barbarians." ”

Liuli was surprised: "Xuanyuan Shao is involved with the barbarians? Holy Lord, why did he do this? ”

"The human heart is unpredictable." Dingwu said slowly: "Xuanyuan Shao controls the Guards in his hands, although I am the emperor, but if I want to really mobilize the Guards, how can I mobilize them without Xuanyuan Shao's permission?" ”

Liuli frowned and said softly: "Holy Lord, do you think!" But he didn't say it.

"The Xuanyuan family is very loyal to the first emperor, just because the first emperor can deter them." Dingwu sighed lightly: "Since the founding of the country, the Xuanyuan clan has always been the henchmen of the first emperor, and the relationship with me is very ordinary. Yiguo Gong Xuanyuan Pingzhang is dead, Xuanyuan Shao is now the pillar of the Xuanyuan family, he naturally has to think about the future of the Xuanyuan family. ”

Liuli said: "The Holy Lord is very generous to the Xuanyuan family, doesn't he still let Xuanyuan Shao serve as the commander of the Guards?" ”

Dingwu turned his head to look at Liuli, it was a beautiful and peerless face, but the beautiful face was worried at this time, he reached out to hold Liuli's hand, and said softly: "The first emperor trusted him, and the generals of the Guards were all promoted by him, if I remove him from his official position, what do you think will be the consequences?" ”

Liuli's pink cheeks suddenly turned a little white, and he said nervously: "Holy Lord, will he he!" ”

"Will you do anything to me?" Dingwu guessed Liuli's thoughts, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, the Xuanyuan clan has always boasted of being loyal to Great Qin, and Xuanyuan Shao will not take me lightly, but since he has taken this step, he has already exposed his ambitions, if I guess right, he secretly formed a party and waited for the time to come, that is to set up me, and learn from Cao Cao's coercion of the Son of Heaven to order the princes." ”

Liuli sighed lightly: "The concubine is stupid, I just thought that Xuanyuan Shao went to see Xuehua Niangniang, and he really wanted to teach Xuehua Niangniang to practice arrows, but I didn't think that there was another mystery in it." ”

"I was kind to me before, those barbarian chieftains can go to worship Xuehua Niangniang on weekdays, maybe it's really because of this that Xuanyuan Shao will walk with Xuehua." Ding Wu said: "After all, the time has not yet come, Xuanyuan Shao does not dare to go directly to meet with the Yiman Chief at this time, and he can just use the snowflakes as a tool to use." ”

Liuli smiled bitterly: "The saint has done her best to the snow lady, why does she have to cause a storm?" ”

"I didn't accept her as a concubine according to the customs of barbarism, and she was afraid that she would already start to hold a grudge in her heart." Dingwu said: "She was favored by the first emperor, and the scenery was infinite, but now that the first emperor has died, she is no longer the scenery of the day, she is naturally unwilling." If Xuanyuan Shao took advantage of the situation at this time and promised her that she could restore her old glory, do you think this woman would not be used by Xuanyuan Shao? He smiled faintly: "For those barbarian chiefs, it doesn't matter who is the emperor, what matters is who can give them the benefits they want." ”

Liuli frowned and said: "That's the case, why did Snow Lady let her concubine go over to teach her to play the piano?" Holy Lord, is there any mystery in this? ”

"Their purpose is very clear, today is the only one who really understands me." Dingwu stared at Liuli with his eyes, and said softly: "I have no reservations about you, if they want to explore my mind, you are naturally the best candidate." "Maybe one day, when they want me to do something, they can control you in their hands, of course they know that I can do anything for you." ”

Liuli frowned and said: "It turns out that they have such a mind, and the concubine will never go over there again!" ”

"No, not only do you have to go, but you have to go often." Dingwu sneered, "They want to know what I'm thinking, but I also want to know what they're going to do. Liuli, if Xuehua sends someone to pass you on, you will go over as always, and everything will be the same as before, if they deliberately mention me, what should you say, just say anything, I want to see what they can do with me. ”

Liuli said worriedly: "Saint, the life and death of the concubine is insignificant, but you, we must think about it, if Xuanyuan Shao really has other thoughts, your situation is very dangerous now." ”

"Don't worry, I've got my own plans." Ding Wu said with a smile: "It's not so easy for them to deal with me. Fortunately, Xuanyuan Pingzhang is dead, and the Shenyi Guard is not controlled by the Xuanyuan family, and I still have the Shenyi Guard in my hand, and before I am absolutely sure, Xuanyuan Shao does not dare to act rashly. He reached out to wrap his arms around Liuli's waist, Liuli hurriedly dodged, and Dingwu sighed lightly: "My leg disease is almost healed, Liuli, can't I be with you yet?" ”

Liuli's cheeks were slightly red, she was a beautiful and unparalleled national color, and at this time, her white and red face was charming but not, delicate but not demonic, and it made all men feel refreshed.

"Holy Lord, the concubine made an oath back then." Liuli's voice was as soft as a cloud, "Before the saint's leg disease is cured, the concubine is just a doctor next to the saint, and when the saint really stands up, Liuli Liuli is the saint's woman!" When she said this, she was shy and beautiful, and she was touching.

Ding Wu groaned slightly, and finally showed a gentle smile, and said with his chin bowed: "Yes, I also agreed at the beginning." I won't force you, but it won't take long for my leg to get better, and when that time comes, I'll make you my true woman. ”

Liuli lowered her head, her chest rose and fell, and her breathing was slightly short.

"Mountain rain is coming!" Dingwu raised his head, looked out the door, and muttered to himself: "I am like a ship in the sea, a storm is coming, if I can really survive the wind and rain, I can take you to the other side, otherwise!" He shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Otherwise, I'm afraid I'll be crushed." ”

"No, it won't." Liuli hurriedly said: "Holy Hero, no matter how big the wind and waves, you can survive it!" ”
