Seeing that Zhao Yun looked a little solemn, Liu Jing nodded, "There are many people here, let's go and leave the account."

The two came to another big tent to sit down. At this time, there were only Liu Jing and Zhao Yun in the tent. Despite this, Zhao Yun was still very cautious and said carefully: "I suggest that your highness should transfer Liao Hua back to Hexi."

This sentence made Liu Jing stunned. He immediately realized that Zhao Yun was actually hinting that he should be careful of Ma Chao. Did Ma Chao do anything in Hexi? From the feedback Liu Jing has received at present, Ma Chao did not do anything out of the ordinary in Hexi. Of course, he might not have discovered it himself.

But with Zhao Yun's cautious attitude and never slandered anyone, today he reminded himself for the first time to be careful of Ma Chao. What must have happened. Liu Jing immediately asked: "What happened?"

Zhao Yun took out a letter and handed it to Liu Jing, "This is a private message from the magistrate of Yan County Li to His Highness. The chief of Li Longxi Li's clan, please give him a look."

Liu Jing opened the letter and actually accused Ma Chao of suppressing the Li family. The Li family originally bought a large area of ​​land on the south bank of Zhangye River from Qiang King Nangong and prepared to reclaim it into farmland. However, after the demise of Nangong, the Qiang people no longer admitted the transaction, snatched Li's farmland and turned them into ranches again. Li was angry and complained to Ma Chao, but Ma Chao favored the Qiang people and did not recognize the transaction between the Li family and Nangong.

Judging from the content of the letter, the problem is not very serious. After the enemy of Nangong Han army was defeated by the Han army, it was reasonable for Ma Chao to refuse to admit that Nangong's transaction was reasonable. Zhao Yun would never use this matter to imply that Ma Chao was inappropriate, and there was another reason.

"Is there anything wrong with going to Hexi this time?" Liu Jing asked without saying a word.

"It went smoothly when I went, and I only encountered a little trouble when I came back."

"What trouble"

"I went to Hexi this time and felt the deepest. The Qiang people in Hexi are really different from the Qiang people in Longxi. The Qiang people in Longxi are low-key, gentle, pay taxes and pay taxes, and get along well with the Han people in Longxi, while the Qiang people in Hexi seem a little bit ostentatious."

"How can they be proud"

Zhao Yun sighed and said, "When our team arrived at Zhangye, a scout found that two Qiang cavalry with more than 10,000 people were approaching us. Several Qiang chiefs even stopped us and asked to leave half of the population and cattle and sheep."

Liu Jing's face immediately sank and asked coldly: "What about Ma Chao's attitude?"

"Biyi immediately sent someone to inform Governor Ma to deal with it, but after getting the news, Governor Ma went to Jiuquan for inspection. Fortunately, Beiyi brought 20,000 cavalrymen and immediately took the stance of attacking the Qiang people. The Qiang talents were forced to withdraw and we were able to leave Hexi."

After this, Zhao Yun said worriedly: "I feel that the Qiang people in Hexi and the Han army did not seem to have any changes, and they are even stronger. Of course, maybe I think too much."

"Bang"

Liu Jing slapped the table hard and stood up suddenly. He was almost unable to curb the anger in his heart. Zhao Yun tried his best to underestimate the matter, but Liu Jing could still feel the tension at that time. Of course, the 100,000 Huns and tens of thousands of cattle and sheep were huge. However, the Han army fought bloody battles and defeated Liu Qubei, and the Qiang people actually wanted to compete with the Han army for these wealth, which was simply bold.

At this critical moment, Ma Chao went to Jiuquan. Even if he didn't instruct behind the scenes, he was deliberately out of the matter. At that time, in order to stabilize Hexi, Liu Jing specially appointed Ma Chao, who had a lofty prestige among the Qiang people, as the governor of Hexi. However, Ma Chao did not implement his strategy of being strong in Han and weak in Qiang, but instead supported the Qiang people, causing the power of the Qiang people in Hexi to gradually grow.

The lobby was brightly lit, and a family of more than a dozen people sat around. In addition to Liu Jing's four wives and concubines and five children, Liu Hu, his wives and concubines, and two daughters, also sat in the hall. In addition, Tao Zhan ordered people to invite Qiao Xuan and Da Qiao to gather with their whole family to stay up to the New Year.

The lobby was filled with laughter and everyone was drinking and chatting. Liu Zhize and Liu Hu's eldest son Liu Qiang sat on the side to play with pu, while Liu Zhu and Liu Hu's two daughters were having fun throwing archers on the other side.

Everyone was drinking and chatting, and the topic was unknowingly touched the Xiongnu women. Tao Zhan also heard some rumors and asked her husband with a smile: "Husband, we all heard you have forced the demolition of mandarin ducks in Qi County. Many Xiongnu women knelt in front of you, begging you to reunite with your husband, but you are determined not to be sure. Are these rumors?"

Liu Jing picked up the wine glass and took a sip of the wine, shook his head and said, "This is not a rumor, but it is true, it is completely true."

Sun Shangxiang next to him said in surprise: "Mr., aren't you breaking up other couples?"

Liu Hu knew the truth, and he smiled from the side, "Your Highness has no idea. Your Highness is separated from you and your husbands are not allowed to reunite with your concubines. As far as I know, those women are just a kind of property that belongs to the Huns. The real wives of the Huns have been sent to reunite with your husbands. Your Highness is actually for their own good."

Tao Zhan was puzzled and asked Liu Jing again: "How can you do good for them?"

Liu Jing took another sip, but glanced at Da Qiao from the corner of his eyes. Seeing that she was looking at him intently, as if waiting for his answer, he smiled and said, "It's very simple. These Hun men are prisoners of war. They will be engraved as slaves within the year, and they are not allowed to marry concubines without slaves. Moreover, the Huns' daily work is limited, so they can only barely make a living. How can they raise wives and concubines and a lot of children? Instead of these women going to starve and get cold and living a life of poverty, it's better to remarry a wealthy family. There is a support for the second half of their lives, you won't."

Da Qiao's face felt a little hot. She was extremely sensitive. She felt that Liu Jing's words were coming to her. She bit her lip gently and smiled and said, "Your Highness's words make sense, but they are not completely correct."

Liu Jing suddenly became interested and asked her: "Where is incorrect?"

"My Highness doesn't understand women. She thinks that every woman is realistic and wants to live a comfortable life. In fact, it's not. Many women don't care how she lives and eats, or whether there are exquisite houses or expensive screens. She actually prefers to eat crumbs and support each other with the man she loves."

Afterwards, Da Qiao's bright eyes stared at Liu Jing deeply. Her words made everyone laugh. Tao Zhan nodded and said, "Da Qiao is good, my husband is really a little bit, no matter what these poor women think."

Liu Jing was speechless, and after a while he said slowly to Da Qiao: "At least I hope they can understand my hard work."

At this moment, a bell came faintly from afar, and the children cheered. The 21st year of Jian'an finally arrived. Liu Jing stood up and smiled at everyone, "Let's worship the ancestral temple below, let's go to the ancestral temple with me."

Everyone stood up one after another, Liu Jing and Liu Hu hurried to the ancestral temple first. At this time, Tao Zhan saw that Qiao Xuan was unable to drink and was helped to sleep by the servants. She smiled at Da Qiao and said, "It's better for sister to go with us."

Da Qiao hesitated for a moment, glanced at Liu Jing quickly, lowered her head and whispered: "You worship your ancestors, what am I going to do?"

Tao Zhan likes Da Qiao very much. Da Qiao's gentle and elegant temperament and her tolerant and understanding personality are somewhat similar to Tao Zhan. Da Qiao has been in Chang'an for several months and has always had the best relationship with Tao Zhan.

Tao Zhan stepped forward and held her arm, smiled and said, "We still lack a priest, so you can do it."
