"I remember His Majesty once said, "Only by the flow of the sea can the heroic nature be revealed! The country is in troubled times, and it is the time to employ people. He needs a talented official like Hengshui County who is brave enough to take responsibility!" Li Shaoyou couldn't help but sigh.

"It seems that the Duke of the State admires this magistrate Zhang very much!" The old political consultant who followed him replied with a smile.

"A leaf can block your eyes, and a single look can also give you a glimpse of the whole picture!" Li Shaoyou said: "This time, we have also investigated many prefectures and counties. Only Hengshui County can be said to have implemented the policies and orders of the court and the government. Without chaos, the handling is in place, and the people's conditions are still stable. Although I have not met, I am indeed curious about this magistrate. If it is the same under Hengshui County, it will be considered that the court has discovered another talent for discovering a talent for the court!"

"The Duke of the State may not know that Zhang Qixian is also a strange person!" said the political consultant.

Li Shaoyou turned his head and looked at him: "What do you mean?"

"At that time, His Highness the Crown Prince toured Luoyang in the west. At that time, Zhang Qixian was still a white-collar man. He dared to stop him and offered suggestions, but was almost beaten by the guards. Although His Highness did not adopt the ten strategies he offered, he admired the courage and intelligence of this person very much, and rewarded him with financial resources to support him in his studies. Later, he went to Beijing to participate in the spring exam and was the first in the provincial exam. However, during the palace exam, his Majesty ordered him to be a Tanhua..." The political party explained.

"Haha!" Hearing this, Li Shaoyou smiled heartily and said, "After so many years, both inside and outside the court know that the Tanhua chosen by Your Majesty is not an ordinary person, and may not be worse than the top scorer. This Qixian is also quite lucky. Not only is he leaning against the crown prince, but also has his eyes on His Majesty. With this behavior, why worry about not being able to rise to the top!"

"Yes!" The political consultant was filled with emotion.

Zhang Qixian is less than 30 years old and is a Jinshi. He has achieved remarkable achievements in the position of the county magistrate, and has a crown prince as his backer. He has also left an impression in front of the emperor. Such an encounter is hard to come by for most officials in the world. As long as there is no mistake, the future will be bright and the future will be bright...

In contrast, although these old ministers are a high-ranking official, their careers are basically visible. After all, it is rare for those who can be transferred to the central office every year. Talent, achievements, background and luck are indispensable.

"Don't the Duke of the State want to meet this Qixian?" Seeing that Li Shaoyou was in a good mood, he couldn't help but ask.

"No! It's important to hurry up!" Li Shaoyou refused and said calmly: "As long as he is under the jurisdiction of Hebei Road, are you afraid that there will be no chance in the future?"

"Give me instructions, speed up and rush to Dezhou!" As he said that, Li Shaoyou rode his horse and whipped it, urging his horse to the east.

Emperor Liu had already set off and continued to go north. When Li Shaoyou got the news, he naturally would not go back to Daming Mansion, but went directly to search for the imperial carriage. Hengshui was only more than a hundred miles away from Dezhou Prefecture City. The next afternoon, Li Shaoyou arrived and noticed the military camp with dragon flags hanging outside the city. He knew that the emperor was still there and had not left Dezhou.

The magistrate of Dezhou, who received the news, hurried to the west of the city to greet him, personally leading the horse and falling from stirrups for Li Shaoyou. Ignoring his attentiveness, Li Shaoyou asked: "Where is Your Majesty? Is it in the Imperial Camp?"

The magistrate did not dare to talk too much and replied directly: "Return to the Duke of China, Your Majesty arrived in Dezhou yesterday, and was in the state yamen!"

"Turn me to the government office!" Li Shaoyou nodded and instructed.

"yes!"

So, regardless of the dust, Li Shaoyou raised his whip and whipped the horse's buttocks, went straight into the city, and went to see the emperor.

The back hall of the state yamen was a busy scene. Several eunuchs and servants came in and out, served dishes and were preparing banquets. The air was filled with the aroma of food, which attracted people's appetite.

The person who commanded in front of the hall was the eunuch Shou Yantuo. When Li Shaoyou saw it, he couldn't help but show a little unexpected expression. When he noticed Li Shaoyou, Yantuo immediately came up, his posture was very low, bowed his hand and said respectfully: "I have seen Duke Shouguo!"

"Official in the Yanzhong, why bother to be so polite? You are so bad!" Li Shaoyou smiled. His relationship with Yantuo has been dealing well. Of course, it is difficult for them to have any conflicts.

"Mr. Shou's words are the only one who has a small slap!" Yantuo laughed.

Li Shaoyou pointed to the busy palace maid and joked: "The official personally prepared these delicacies, it was not to welcome me!"

Yantu immediately said, "If you are welcoming Shou Gong, how can this simple meal be enough? You should prepare a more sumptuous banquet!"

Noting Li Shaoyou's eyes, Yantuo still explained the matter generously: "Several Northern Expedition officers and soldiers who went out of the frontier returned from the north of the Mo River. The officials specially issued an order to invite them!"

Li Shaoyou knew it, nodded slightly, and immediately asked, "Did Your Majesty have time? I will be the saint when I see you, please inform me!"

"You are polite, the official family is bathing. If you learn that you are here, you will be very happy!" Yantuo said.

After arranging the affairs in front of the hall, Yantuo personally led Li Shaoyou to the back garden. While walking, Li Shaoyou handed Yantuo a night pearl without any trace. Yantuo did not refuse and skillfully put it into his sleeve.

Yantuo was not accepted by anyone, he also looked at people. Duke Li Shaoyou of Shouguo is the one who deserves a good friend. Seeing Yantuo's natural appearance, he was not surprised by the rare night pearl. Li Shaoyou thought in his heart that this eunuch had a high vision, but I am afraid that he would not have seen any rare things in his daily life.

"Iron Zhongguan, I have something to ask for advice!"

"You are polite to Mr. Shou! If you have any words, please speak frankly. If you can say something, you will never speak very carefully!" Yan Tuo smiled slightly.

Seeing this, Li Shaoyou asked in a low voice: "I heard that when His Majesty was in Daming Mansion, he withdrew the prefect Tao Jun. I don't know where His Majesty..."

When Li Shaoyou heard the string song, he knew the meaning of elegance. After a little bit of the question, Yantuo understood it. He looked around and replied softly: "The thoughts of the officials are not something that the small ones can guess. However, since Duke Shou asked, the young ones dared to speak more. The officials thought that Tao Yuan was lazy and unfilial."

After saying that, Yantuo accelerated his pace. Li Shaoyou knew it, and sighed silently in his heart, shook his head and followed. During Tao Gu's lifetime, he had a good relationship with Li Shaoyou. During Tao Jun's tenure as Daming Mansion, Li Shaoyou also took good care of him, after all, he was under his nose. Now that Emperor Liu personally demoted Tao Jun, he couldn't say anything for him, and he had to consider whether Tao Jun's affairs would affect him.

In the flower hall, there was a scent of soap in the air. Emperor Liu had just left the bath and was covered with a set of underwear. His hair was radiant and a little wet. When he learned that Li Shaoyou was coming, he summoned him directly.

"See Your Majesty!" Li Shaoyou kowtowed with excitement.

Emperor Liu was obviously very happy about Li Shaoyou's arrival and greeted with a smile: "Brother You, there is no need to be too polite between you and me. Get up quickly and sit down first!"

The kind "Brother You" sounded like a kind of affection, even with Li Shaoyou's thoughts, he couldn't help but feel a sense of inexplicable emotion. Although, the monarch and ministers no longer had the close friendship that they were as before.

Emperor Liu raised his legs, and the beautiful palace maid with round and smooth eyes wiped his hair. After looking at Li Shaoyou a few times, Emperor Liu said, "Brother You, I haven't seen you for many years, and your style is still the same!"

Li Shaoyou replied with a smile: "Your Majesty is the prosperous spring and autumn, and it is radiant. I feel very at ease when I see Your Majesty healthy!"

"You! You are still so good at speaking!" Emperor Liu smiled and said, "You are busy with official duties and didn't want to summon you, but you still came!"

"Your Majesty is visiting Hebei, but I am uneasy. I have not been able to greet you in time! In addition, the matter is tentative, so I will come to see you from now on!" Li Shaoyou replied.

Nodded, Emperor Liu said, "In this Northern Expedition, except for the central ministries, the local governments, you are the Hebei Road. The most complex and the most responsible! I heard that half of you have been inspecting and coordinating in various places in the past few months. Thank you for your hard work!"

"The hardest thing is the Han soldiers who fought bloody battles on the front line. If I even feel hard and tired even if I do my duty, I will be entrusted by the court and I am not worthy of staying in this position!" Li Shaoyou said.

"This time, the troops are in full swing, and the food in the south are exhausted. If you want to ensure that the soldiers fight with peace of mind, you must ensure stability in the rear, so that the soldiers have no worries and let go of the battle!" Emperor Liu sighed slightly, "To do this, you officials in the border area need to set an example. This is the purpose of my tour this time. Although the situation in Hebei is only a brief look, it is not bad!"

When Li Shaoyou heard this, he felt relieved, afraid that Emperor Liu would find something he hadn't taken into consideration.

Li Shaoyou replied: "This is also due to the guidance of Your Majesty and the court. I also have the understanding of the people's iments. The situation among the people is quite stable. This is because His Majesty has been lenient for more than 20 years. The people are grateful and enthusiastically support..."

Seeing Li Shaoyou start to blow, Emperor Liu waved his hands repeatedly: "Don't take credit for me, and send the father and son of the people to the battlefield. If they don't scold me, I will be satisfied!"

"Your Majesty has a generous mind and can accommodate all things!" said Li Shaoyou.

"Okay, I've been rushing for a long time! Just in time, I have arranged a table of wine and food here. One host invites two guests and welcomes you. I'll have a few drinks with me later!"

Li Shaoyou immediately stood up and bowed: "I can't ask for it!"

The palace maid had tied his hair for Emperor Liu and dressed him. In the bronze mirror of the ground, Emperor Liu's body was reflected. Li Shaoyou took the initiative to take the dragon robe from the palace maid and helped Emperor Liu put it on, saying, "I heard that the soldiers who went out to the fortress to expedition to the north of Mobei have returned?"

"Yes!" Emperor Liu nodded, his lips curled slightly: "After a hundred battles, I have experienced life and death, and I will come back to report the news. I will personally invite them!"

"Your Majesty's love for soldiers is admirable!" said Li Shaoyou.

"The young heroes of King Wei and Duke Zhao must gallop across the battlefield and attack the Huhu in the north of the Mo River!" said Li Shaoyou.
