Yang Shao was Pan Shuo1 s good friend.

Even now, the two of them still maintained a good relationship. They drank a little wine and enjoyed a little picture album.

However, in her heart, she always felt closer to Xie Xian.

What made Pan Shuo feel disgusted was that Xie Xian had never said anything about Yang Shao in front of him, but Yang Shao had expressed his dissatisfaction with Xie Xian more than once.

What did she mean by calling him his best friend in front of him? Did Yang Shao understand the meaning of the word ‘true friend’?

I don’t know what’s going on either. The Emperor has either wanted him to be promoted to General of the Army or to be the governor of Xuzhou. This time, the Emperor actually wants him to be promoted to Linhai with the position of General of the Army, but the Ministry of Personnel hasn’t approved it several times. He just thinks that you’re stopping him.”

“You’re the one who’s stopping him from getting promoted and restricting him

in everyway.”

However the few times he spoke were after drinking too much. If it was just a normal complaint, Pan Shuo would at most just listen to it. However, he looked at Yang Shao with a gaze that was filled with hatred.

“I don’t know if there’s a misunderstanding here. Anyway… You know what to

do.”

“Alright, I understand.””

Pan Shuo smacked his lips and downed a cup of wine.

The only reason he could think of was because of Lady Xiao. Yang Shao had once intended to marry her.

However, that was not right either. The few times Yang Shao was promoted and placed in important positions, it was also Xie Xian who promoted him.

Otherwise, because of the gossip between Yang Shao and the two sisters of the Xiao family, they were all abandoned by Emperor Yu Heng. For Yang Shao to be able to have today, it was more or less due to Xie Xian’s recommendation.

As for after that-

It was too brain-burning. It could not be that he realized it later and recognized that it was his former love rival. He wanted to think of his wife and then stopped Yang Shao from advancing or leaving Jiankang City.

This was the bad thing about chatting with Xie Xian. If he didn’t want you to know, you wouldn’t be able to figure it out even if you racked your brains.

He couldn’t pry open the gourd with a saw-like mouth.

In the end, he left the Xie residence unsteadily. Pan Shuo didn’t know why, so he asked with a big tongue,”

“Xuanhui, I see that your face is always glowing…Tell me, were you pretending to be sick before? Why did she look so radiant after getting married? It was like a hen hugging a nest. In the past three years, no one could catch up to you. Does the Xie family have some secret recipe that allows you to be sick and healthy whenever you want?”

“Are you trying to trick Lady Xiao into your hands?

It was rare for Xiao Baoxin to see Xie Xian eat dinner until so late and still not return to his room. He was just thinking of coming out to take a look, and definitely didn’t want to listen to the wall.

However, when she heard Pan Shuo’s words from the veranda, she was instantly thrown into confusion.

Was there anyone who pretended to be sick to trick his wife into his hand?

Did Pan Shuo grow a brain?

In the end, Xie Xian walked out of the house slowly. He glanced at Xiao Baoxin and smiled.”Yeah, you actually found out. You’re so smart.”

“You’re really pretending?”

” Then I understand.” Pan Shuo burped.”! said, how can you be so fertile?” Xie Xiandu didn’t say anything. He had only seen one person who could make him drunk. He hurriedly called Pan Shuo’s personal servant to escort him back.

“About Pan Bai…”

“Shut up and do what you should do.”Xie Xian’s face turned cold, and Pan Shuo was already forty to fifty percent sober. He strolled back to the Pan residence and broke out in a cold sweat. When he got home, he was completely sober.

He felt that Xie Xian might have deliberately stopped Yang Shao from going up or leaving Jiankang.

As for why, he still didn’t know.

Experience told him not to think too much about things he didn’t know. He slept until dawn and went to the palace the next day to tell Emperor Yong Ping about Pan Bai.

The Imperial Capital of Eternal Peace laughed.

“You’ve just arranged for Governor Pan, and you re in a hurry to push all the Pan family’s disciples up?”After all, there were not many people he could use.

No matter what, the Pan family was still the empress dowager’s maiden family, so they could only rely on the royal family.

He was willing to praise her.

“Why didn’t you ask Minister Xie? After all, he’s the Minister of Personnel and is in charge of recommending talents.”Emperor Yongping asked with a smile.

Pan Shuo’s brain spun quickly, and his eyes widened like copper bells.”Well, this world belongs to His Majesty. If you want to promote someone, of course you have to look for His Majesty. Moreover… I don’t dare to look for Xie Xuanhui. Didn’t Your Majesty see that those aristocratic families are staring at him now? If they really asked him to come forward, wouldn’t he bring the Pan family along to beat them up? What secret dealings?”

“That nephew of mine has been in mourning for his parents for six years before he left the mountain. Don’t let them beat him to death before he even appears.”

“Of course, Your Majesty. My nephew is really talented. Your Majesty, why don’t you meet him more? You don’t have to give me face. If he has talent, then use him. If he doesn’t have talent, then let him continue to guard the

mountain.”

Emperor Yong Ping thought to himself, You really don’t know how much face you have.

There was no need to give him face.

How confident would she be in front of the emperor?

However, he was still willing to promote the Pan family when Pan Shuo came to him. At least it proved that in the eyes of the Pan family, they were closer to Emperor Yong Ping. Although Pan Shuo didn’t look for Xie Xian, he had his own reasons.

Emperor Yong Ping was satisfied with this reason.

Most of the aristocratic families had already been wiped out. They could no longer allow Xie Xian to suppress them. If they really allowed him to do as he pleased and clean up all the aristocratic families, wouldn’t the Xie family be the only one to dominate?

That was something Emperor Yong Ping did not want to see.

He had never thought that Xie Xian had any disloyal intentions, but being controlled by a powerful official and being made a figurehead was something he did not want to see.

The history books all said that when the subject was strong, the ruler would be weak. Only when the monarch was strong could the monarch and his subjects get along well and the world would be peaceful.

“Actually, I have a cousin. He’s a loyal and honest person. He’s most willing to handle those horses and cows, Your Majesty.”

in order to seek an official position for his family, he even exposed his dark history.

In the past, the Pan family was most afraid of people talking about coachmen, treating them as if they were being poked in the lungs. The Pan family had never mentioned it before.

Pan Shuo was going all out to get an official position.

Emperor Yong Ping was speechless.

Couldn’t there be more knowledgeable and practical talents?

Raising horses and waiting for cows, did his palace lack them?

Moreover, what was the use of recruiting such a talent? Raising him fat and strong, so that the ministers could see his royal food?

Why were these relatives of his family, be it the He family or the Pan family, so difficult to explain in a few words?

In fact, it was fine for the Pan family. They were born in a poor family. To be able to scratch to this extent, it was already smoke rising from their ancestral graves However, the He family was a noble family. In order to marry her aunt into the He family, her mother had used all her strength. One had to know that the Liu family was just a small family in dire straits. It was all thanks to Emperor Yu Heng’s massacre for the throne that the He family was afraid of. Emperor Yu Heng’s kindness and power forced the He family to submit.
