After Breaking Off My Marriage, I Became A Powerful Minister's Treasure

666 Fighting For It

Liang Yulin knew that his eldest son had ambitions in court.

So he smiled and said, “I think it is a waste to let Hanzheng be a general in the north border. Although he is talented, he is more suitable to be a civil official after his achievements in Heyang County and North City.”

“I agree,” the Minister of Revenue immediately said.

“I also think Xiao Hanzheng is a talent. The Ministry of Revenue needs such an official.”

Princess Fu Bao was a golden child and Xiao Hanzheng could turn her ideas into money that would benefit the country and the people. The Ministry of Revenue lacked such an official who could take money.

The Minister of War could not help but say, “I think Xiao Hanzheng is more suitable for the Ministry of War. He is a talented general and a resourceful man.”

Xiao Hanzheng was capable and had Princess Fu Bao with him. It would be great if he could join the Ministry of War.

The Minister of Works was not to be outdone. “Xiao Hanzheng and Princess Fu Bao have built a craftsman college in the North City and I heard that they are very popular among the people. I think he is very suitable for the Ministry of Works.”

Who wouldn’t want a subordinate with the ability and a golden baby?

The Minister of Rites also said with a smile, “Xiao Hanzheng has passed the third year. He is suitable to join the Ministry of Rites.”

The others did not expect that all the ministers of the four ministries were fighting for Xiao Hanzheng. They realized that Xiao Hanzheng and his wife had made a name for themselves this time, and their value was even greater than they had expected.

Other than the Crown Prince who didn’t reveal any emotions, the other princes all revealed some of their emotions.

They were thinking about how to win Xiao Hanzheng over.

More people thought of Xiao Baili and Xiao Hanyi.

The Emperor had made arrangements for Xiao Hanzheng’s future. He smiled and said, “Let’s wait until the war between the two countries is over.”

It was naturally too wasteful to be a general, but it was not suitable to be transferred back to the capital all of a sudden. It was safer to train more and gain more experience.

Everyone present could tell that the Emperor valued Xiao Hanzheng and they all valued Xiao Hanzheng more.

No one mentioned the matter of the old immortal, but both the Emperor and the ministers were actually very concerned.

The princes and ministers all knew that Princess Fu Bao’s good fortune was yet to come. If they could be on good terms, they definitely could not become enemies.

After they returned, the princes and ministers sent a message to the North City.

They all placed their focus on Xiao Baili and Xiao Hanyi.

If they could marry Xiao Baili, or marry their daughter to Xiao Hanyi, not only could they win over Xiao Hanzheng and his wife, but they could also gain King Yi’s favor.

The Liang family, Old Master Liang, and the others were all a little regretful that Liang Youxiao had gone out to sea to make a living. Otherwise, there was still hope of marrying Xiao Baili.

However, it was beneficial for the Liang Family to have Liang Youxiao and Xiao Hanzheng as friends. They had no choice but to give up on the marriage, so they did not send a message to North City.

There was no news from the Xi Family either.

Although they also hoped that Xi Rui could marry Xiao Baili, they didn’t want to interfere too much.

If Xi Rui didn’t like Xiao Baili, they wouldn’t force him.

If Xi Rui was enlightened, he would naturally take the initiative to pursue her, and they wouldn’t have to worry about it.

Their family didn’t need Xi Rui’s marriage to consolidate their position.

Then, the news that Xiao Hanzheng had taken down the border town of Ge Kingdom and captured the unconscious Yelu Donghe and a few generals quickly spread to North City.

Everyone, from the great clans to the commoners, was excited.

“Lord Xiao is too powerful. He broke through the enemy’s most important border city so quickly.”

“We even captured their commander. This is too satisfying.”

“I heard that Ge Kingdom has sent a new commander. I wonder how it is?”

“No matter who they send, we, Daliang, are not afraid. Their War God, North King, and their strongest general, Ye Lui Donghe, were defeated by Lord Xiao. If anyone else comes, they will be dragged down as well.”

“Other than the powerful Lord Xiao, we still have Princess Fu Bao.”

“That’s right. If they’re not afraid of the old immortal, go ahead and capture Princess Fu Bao. Let’s see if we can’t blow them up.”

“With Lord Xiao and Princess Fu Bao, our northern border is stable.”

Taking down the border city not only boosted the morale of the Daliang army, it also boosted the confidence of the citizens.

Xiao Hanzheng and Shi Qingluo’s reputation in the northern border rose to another level.

Of course, as the good news continued to spread, a small number of people gritted their teeth in hatred and felt very uncomfortable.

For example, King Jin who was lying on the bed, the imperial consort who was forced to cultivate in the temple hall, Lady Tu and her son from the Tu family, Ruan Songling and her daughter, etc.

They had hoped that Xiao Hanzheng and Shi Qingluo would be killed on the battlefield, but they did not die. Instead, they made great contributions and their reputations were getting better and better. It was really infuriating.

The forces of the previous dynasty that were constantly being eliminated were also extremely aggrieved.

They had cooperated with Ge Kingdom and defeated the Third Prince and Xiao Yuanshi. Who would have thought that Ge Kingdom would be beaten up by Xiao Hanzheng?

In a small courtyard in North City.

Zhuo Zheng, who hadn’t appeared for a long time, sat at the head of the table. Below him sat the few important figures of the previous dynasty.

A middle-aged man walked in quickly and said to Zhuo Zheng, “Young Master, there’s news from Ge Kingdom. They want us to help them.”

Zhuo Zheng didn’t look too good. “What favor?”

His biological father was crippled, King Jin’s imperial residence was controlled by the annoying Liang Mingyu, and his biological mother was captured and placed under house arrest in the capital. He was really going crazy.

“Ge Kingdom wants us to capture Xiao Baili and Xiao Hanyi and send them to the border as hostages,” replied the middle-aged man.

Xiao Hanzheng and his wife attached great importance to their in-laws. If they could take them hostage, they would be able to disrupt Xiao Hanzheng’s plan.

Maybe he could even force Xiao Hanzheng to retreat with his army.

Zhuo Zheng frowned. “They really know how to think. Are Xiao Baili and Xiao Hanyi that easy to catch?”

...

With Xiao Hanzheng and Shi Qingluo’s intelligence, they would definitely be prepared.

The middle-aged man sighed. “Even if it’s not easy, we have to catch them.”

“The princess and the others have been captured and placed under house arrest. Now, we can only ally with Ge Kingdom and let them successfully break in. Only then will we have hope of making a comeback.”

“Otherwise, if Xiao Hanzheng really defeats Ge Kingdom, we will be his first target when he returns to North City.”

They had been active in the northern border for more than ten years, but this was the first time they had been forced into such a state.

Xiao Hanzheng and Shi Qingluo had contributed a lot to this, so how could they not hate them?

Zhuo Zheng did not want to do such a thing. He had been by Shi Qingluo’s side for a period of time and knew that the couple was not to be trifled with.

Just look at the fate of his biological parents and the Tu Family.

However, as this person said, if they did not do it, they might be even worse off.

He still hoped that he could snatch back the throne one day.

Zhuo Zheng took a deep breath. ” Okay, you guys come up with a plan to capture them.”

...

If he couldn’t escape, then he would do it.

The middle-aged man was very satisfied with this answer. “Yes!”

In fact, even if Zhuo Zheng didn’t agree, they would have done it.

To them, Zhuo Zheng was just a legitimate puppet with the bloodline of the previous dynasty.

Xiao Hanyi’s life was mainly two points and one line, school and home.

Xiao Baili rarely went out recently. She was writing the lesson plan that Shi Qingluo had mentioned.

After the Craftsman College started school, there would be a cooking class, and she would be a teacher.

One day, she was studying a pastry in the kitchen when the butler suddenly rushed in.

“Miss, something bad has happened. Someone has sent a bloody letter.”
