Chapter 502: The Imperial Concubine Is Pure and Elegant (Two Hundred and Fifty-Two)

At the end of the year, Qi was officially renamed Xijiang and became a vassal state of Liang, governed by Xijiang King Xuan Yunian.

He knew how to appoint talented people and had an iron-blooded approach. He appeared gentle and indecisive, but in reality he was meticulous, resolute and decisive. Corrupt officials had long been eliminated from the bureaucracy, rebellious officials were beheaded in public on West Street, spies from the Ji State were eliminated, the old system was abolished, and reforms were progressing steadily. In just three months, the atmosphere in the western border changed dramatically, the desolation brought by the war gradually disappeared, and prosperity had already taken shape.

When Liang Sheng personally toured Western Xinjiang, he couldn't help but admire Xuan Yunian's abilities. However, he wasn't jealous of his talent. Instead, he generously rewarded Xuan Yunian and offered him numerous suggestions for Western Xinjiang's development, fostering harmonious relations between the emperor and his ministers. Over time, Western Xinjiang officials came to understand the king's temperament. He had no intention of veiled obedience or secretly attempting to restore the old Qi system. Instead, he made Western Xinjiang a vassal state of Liang, truly submitting to the Liang emperor.

Being in Western Xinjiang, they could feel the changes in Western Xinjiang better than anyone else. Western Xinjiang was thriving. Whoever could lead them to prosperity and profit would naturally be willing to abide by the system of Western Xinjiang, respect Xuan Yunian as king, and recognize Liang Sheng as emperor.

Since the King of Western Frontier is willing to be under the Emperor of Liang and does not want to start a war, then his followers should naturally follow his example.

Therefore, these officials were respectful to Emperor Liang who came to the Western Frontier and did not dare to have any disloyal thoughts.

The original Qi Palace has been rebuilt. A large number of abandoned palaces have been demolished, the scope of the palace has been reduced, and the heavy palace walls have been knocked down to widen the view. It has been turned into the Western Frontier Palace. Even so, the area of ​​the palace is also very large.

Liang Sheng stood on the moon-viewing platform, overlooking the land. Under the bright lights, the breeze brought a refreshing breath, and the full moon hung in the sky, as if it could be picked up with one's hand.

He couldn't help but sigh, "If only Li'er were here, this picturesque landscape has no one to enjoy with me."

Xuan Yunian was a few steps behind Liang Sheng. Both of them were very sensible and would not put themselves in danger. They were two meters away from the guardrail.

"Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, how could he be without beautiful women by his side? By the way, how are the Empress and the Crown Prince doing these days?"

Liang Sheng smiled bitterly and said, "I don't need other beauties, I only want the one I love. They and their son will stay in the palace, peaceful and comfortable."

Xuan Yunian's expression remained normal as he agreed, "That's good."

Liang Sheng looked at Xuan Yunian beside him. He had changed a lot in the past few months.

Now Xuan Yunian is wearing the official uniform of the King of Western Frontier. His gentle appearance carries the aura of a superior. He doesn't burn people, but he won't make people look down on him either.

The prince of Qi was willing to cede his kingdom, so Liang Sheng naturally took a step back. Any reduction in the bloodshed was a good thing. With Qi incorporated into Liang's territory, only the Ji Kingdom remained, struggling to survive. Although Liang Sheng felt sad that his beloved would not be by his side, he was also inevitably happy to have unified the country and fulfilled his ancestors' wishes.

After the two of them expressed their opinions on the government of the Ji Kingdom, Liang Sheng asked about Xuan Yunian's marriage. Upon learning that he still didn't have a princess, he smiled and said, "A gentleman should establish a family and a career. Now that you have established your career, it's time to start a family. Don't you have a woman you like?"

Xuan Yunian replied calmly, "No rush. Just let the relationship take its natural course. If she's willing, I'll get married right away. If she's not willing, I'll stay with her forever. There's no need to start a family."

Liang Sheng then realized that Xuan Yunian had a lover, but his lover had not yet agreed to marry him.

"I'm curious about which family's daughter this woman is from? Is she a noblewoman from Western Xinjiang or a young lady from Liang? Why are you waiting like this?"

Xuan Yunian's eyes softened, the corners of his mouth turned up, and he smiled, "She's just a commoner. She's very kind, and I love her very much." "It's rare to see you so fond of someone. If you can get her, I will personally arrange a marriage for you."

"Thank you very much, Your Majesty!"

Xuan Yunian smiled happily when he heard that, and Liang Sheng was also infected and laughed out loud, but he had no idea about the smile in Xuan Yunian's heart.

Many years later, when he thought of this incident, he wanted to slap himself a few times.
