Little Xiao Yu is a very busy child.
Every morning, after washing up and having breakfast, I have to go to my adoptive father to study and play; in the afternoon, I have to help my father take care of my mother and younger brother; in the afternoon, I often have to accompany my father to work in the study; occasionally I have to go out with my adoptive father .
On April 25th, little Xiao Yu went out with his adoptive father early in the morning, and they were going to Wanmu Academy in the south of the city today.
Since last month, Xiao Yi and Guan Yubai have planned to conduct an exam for the teachers of private schools and colleges. After more than a month of preparation, this matter finally started to be tried.
They plan to try it out in five nearby cities including Luoyue City and Heyu City. The first test location is Wanmu Academy in Luoyue City.
The written test was held yesterday, April 24th. Guan Yubai read the test papers sent by Wanmu Academy last night, and today he specially brought Xiao Yu to Wanmu Academy to meet these gentlemen.
Wanmu Academy is one of the three major academies in southern Xinjiang. Although it is slightly inferior to Qingmao Academy, which ranks first, it is the academy with the largest area and the largest scale. The students who study there are basically the children of aristocratic families who are either rich or noble. .
For this exam, Wanmu Academy deliberately suspended classes for three days. Today the academy is empty, with no students strolling back and forth; it is also quiet, and the sound of students reading aloud cannot be heard.
The people of Wanmu Academy had already got the news that Guan Yubai was going to visit the academy today, and Master Yu Shan and several gentlemen from the academy came to the gate to greet them in person, but they did not expect that Guan Yubai brought a beautiful boy with him come.
The fact that Guan Yubai is the grandson's adoptive father has long been spread in Luoyue City. Yu Shanzhang and the others secretly exchanged glances, bowing respectfully and saying: "I have seen the marshal, grandson."
"Shanchang, and gentlemen, you are very polite." Guan Yubai smiled slightly, under the soft light of the rising sun, he looked like a magnolia orchid and a jade tree, dressed as a Confucian scholar as usual, he seemed unobtrusive among the crowd of scholars.
Guan Yubai is now the Grand Marshal of Southern Xinjiang, his status is only lower than that of King Zhennan and his son. However, not many people have seen him in Southern Border, and only those generals in the Southern Border Army and those who used to The children of aristocratic families who have attended banquets in Wangfu or Bixiaotang have the opportunity to see his true face in Mount Lu.
Everyone was secretly surprised when they saw how gentle and handsome he described.
"Please, Marshal, the gentlemen from all the academies are already waiting in the Tianxi Hall." Yu Shanchang stretched out his hand to make an invitation, neither humble nor overbearing. Although he is sixty years old, he is still full of energy, with a pair of radiant eyes and a calm expression He looked at Guan Yubai carefully.
Regarding this exam, the academies had vaguely heard the news as early as half a month ago. They thought it was just like the imperial examination to select talents for the sake of survival of the fittest and weeding out some mediocre talents who misunderstood their children. The teachers of Wanmu Academy have their own strengths, and their talents and knowledge are far superior to those of ordinary schools. Therefore, Yu Shanzhang was not worried about this exam.
But after reading the exam papers yesterday, Yu Shanchang realized that he was wrong. The purpose of the exam arranged by the son and the marshal may be more far-reaching than he expected.
The crowd surrounded Guan Yubai and Xiao Xiaoyu like stars and the moon, and headed towards the Tianxi Hall.
It was the first time for Xiao Xiaoyu to come to Wanmu Academy. As he walked, he looked around with great interest and asked questions curiously from time to time. He was born with short legs, so he walked even slower. Slow down to match his pace.
Walk slowly through several verandas, through several courtyards, and then around a pond, and the Tianxi Hall appears in front of you. The doors on all sides of the hall are wide open, and one can see at a glance those gentlemen wearing straight suits of various colors are already sitting in the hall, whispering to each other.
Until one person in the hall was the first to notice the arrival of Guan Yubai and his party, then hundreds of people in the hall shot at them, welcoming them into the hall with piercing eyes.
Nearly a hundred people sat in the hall, densely packed, with different eyes, looking at Guan Yubai with scrutiny, inquiry, doubt, and disapproval
Guan Yubai led Xiao Yu and walked forward calmly, with a calm expression on his face. He is a general who gallops on the battlefield and fights bloody battles among tens of thousands of people, so why would he care about a few literati? line of sight.
At the very front of the hall, there was a large red lacquered wood carving case, but after the case, only a grand teacher's chair was prepared for the official language, and the people of the academy didn't expect the descendants to come, so they hurriedly moved a handful of roses Chair over here.
Guan Yubai and Xiao Xiaoyu sat down respectively, and there was a moment of silence in the hall.
Soon, those gentlemen stood up one by one, and saluted Guan Yubai and Xiao Yu in unison.
Xiao Xiaoyu has seen more magnificent scenes in the military camp, with the corners of his mouth curled up from beginning to end, showing no timidity at all. However, he was keenly aware that the people in this room seemed to be different from those tall, strong soldiers with loud voices in the barracks.
The little guy opened a pair of black and clear eyes, and looked at those thin literati with great interest.
Guan Yubai looked around at the crowd, and said unhurriedly: "Everyone here is a well-educated person. I have been confused recently, and today I invite you all to come and help me solve my doubts."
The surrounding area was quiet again, everyone present is not stupid, I know that the official words are the generals of the army, even if there are really problems, you can discuss with the counselors, there is no need to ask them, the solution is just an excuse, you have to try it out It is true to teach them.
Guan Yubai paused for a moment, and then asked, "What do gentlemen think, what is a king and what is a minister?"
Everyone was a little surprised by this question, but then they felt that their guess was really good.
Afterwards, Guan Yubai directly asked by name: "I wonder if Mr. Ji Ze can solve my doubts?"
For a moment, several eyes all looked in the same direction, the far right of the second row.
Sitting there was a middle-aged literati with a goatee. He stood up slowly, bowed his head and replied: "Marshal, the king is the master of a country; the minister is the one who serves the king."
Ji Ze answered very succinctly, obviously he didn't intend to show off, he just wanted to make no mistakes.
Guan Yubai then asked: "Then, what is a Mingjun, what is a good minister, and whether there are many good ministers beside the Mingjun?"
Hearing this, several people in the hall already showed thoughtful expressions, as if they understood the subtle connection between yesterday's exam paper and today's official question, and even vaguely guessed the next question.
Ji Ze seemed to be unaware of it and replied: "Ming Jun is the king who strives hard to govern and rejuvenate the country; good ministers are those who are loyal to the king and serve the country and benefit the people. Good ministers choose Ming Jun to serve." As he said, Ji Ze's half-drowned eyes flickered A touch of disdain and resentment.
"Then, what is the way of loyalty to the emperor?" Guan Yubai asked his third question.
I see! On the side, Yu Shanzhang secretly thought in his heart, and suddenly realized that he was still thinking too little before, and it turned out that this was the real purpose of yesterday's exam.
There were a total of twenty questions in yesterday's exam paper, and they were not about "monarchs and ministers", but "teachers and students".
The first question: what is a teacher, what is a living.
The second question: Whether strict teachers produce outstanding apprentices.
The third question: What is the way to respect teachers.
Yu Shanchang sighed in his heart, Guan Yubai answered these questions really wonderfully.
Since the previous dynasties, the monarch has believed in Legalism, advocated respecting the monarch and inferior ministers, and believed that the arbitrary imperial power is the right way for the monarch, and often preached that "the monarch wants the minister to die, and the minister must die", but in fact, the former monarchs and ministers were not like this , Zi said: "The king envoys his ministers with courtesy, and the ministers serve the king with loyalty." Many, many years ago, the king and his ministers used teachers as friends.
Many people were whispering to each other, but Ji Ze's face changed slightly, he raised his eyes and gave Guan Yu a blank look, he didn't want to say something against his will, so he didn't answer for a long time.
Suddenly, another blue-robed young man in his twenties stood up suddenly, and just bumped into the chair behind him, making a piercing "cracking" sound. The young man did not bow, and directly said to the official in a provocative tone: "If you want to talk about the 'way of loyalty to the emperor', you must know the rewards of eating the emperor, and the matter of loyalty!"
The blue-robed young man looked at Guan Yubai mockingly, the Zhennan Prince's Mansion is rebellious, this Guan Yubai is just a running dog of the Xiao family, he dares to talk about the way of loyalty to the emperor, it's ridiculous!
Guan Yubai smiled slightly, shook his head and said: "Wrong, if we want to talk about the 'way of loyalty to the emperor', first talk about the 'way of being the emperor'." "The way of being a king is to be loyal to the people and believe in the gods. To think about benefiting the people is to be loyal; to wish Shizheng's speech is to be faithful. The king is loyal to the people, and the ministers are loyal to the king."
With that said, Guan Yubai looked around the hall again, and said sonorously and forcefully: "However, as a minister, I would rather be a good minister than a loyal minister. What do you think?"
After the words were finished, the hall fell silent, the young man in blue robe was dumbfounded for a moment, his face flushed with anger, he just felt that Guan Yubai was really cheeky, he was clearly calling himself a "good minister".
"Papa papa!"
A burst of crisp applause suddenly sounded in the hall, and everyone followed the sound subconsciously, only to see the boy sitting next to Guan Yubai clapping excitedly.
The foster father is amazing! Xiao Xiaoyu looked at Guan Yubai with piercing eyes, his cheeks flushed with excitement.
In fact, Xiao Xiaoyu couldn't understand what the foster father said at all, but as long as the foster father said, it was naturally correct.
Soon, another loud applause joined in.
I saw a cyan figure standing in the last row, it was a thin man in his forties, with a smile on his mouth, he clapped his hands three times.
As a result, everyone's eyes shifted from Xiao Yu to Xiao Yu again, and the thin man with clear eyebrows calmly bowed to the official and said, "Marshal is right."
After a pause, he went on to say: "A good minister is like Hou Ji, who has a good name, and the emperor has a great name, and is passed on to his descendants, and his family has no boundaries; a loyal minister is like Bigan, who is punished by his own baby. The Yi family only takes empty names. It is better to be a good minister than a loyal one."
What he meant was that a good minister would bring out the best in the monarch and his ministers, while a loyal minister such as Bigan was killed by a tyrant, exterminating his nine clans, and then the country perished.
Guan Yubai's eyes flashed, and he tapped his knuckles on the big case twice, looking at the thin man with interest. This was a pleasant surprise.
He slightly raised his eyebrows and asked, "Dare to ask Mr. Gao's name!"
The thin man suppressed the joy in his heart, and replied seriously: "Student Ji Ming."
Guan Yubai was about to speak again, but out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of Xiao Yu who was beside him waving at the man who called himself Ji Ming, "You, come here."
Ji Ming was stunned, then strode forward, walked up to the big red lacquered wood carving table, and asked the little boy, "I don't know what advice the grandson can give you?"
Xiao Xiaoyu smiled kindly at him, took out a golden cat key from his purse and handed it out, imitating his father's tone and said: "Your reward."
Of course Xiao Yu couldn't understand what Ji Ming said just now, but since the other party applauded for his adoptive father, he must be a smart person.
Ji Ming glanced at Guan Yubai's face, then accepted it, and bowed, "Thank you grandson."
Seeing this, the corner of Guan Yubai's mouth twitched into a faint smile, and said again: "Ji Ming, come to Zhennan Palace tomorrow."
Ji Ming couldn't help but stare, and hurriedly responded: "Yes, Marshal." His voice raised slightly uncontrollably, and his eyes sparkled.
At this moment, most of the people in the hall cast envious glances at the thin man, and a sentence could not help appearing in their hearts: After ten years of hard work, no one asked him, and he became famous all over the world in one fell swoop.
Ji Ming has been appreciated by Guan Yubai today, and he will surely have a bright future in the future, and he will skyrocket from now on!
There are a few of these scholars who don't want to be with the emperor's family, and the eyes of many people become a little complicated, regret, regret, envy, all of them, hey, I should seize the opportunity to let Guan Yubai see their talents just now yes!
No, they still have a chance!
Some quick-witted people immediately figured out something. On the one hand, Guan Yubai came to Wanmu Academy on purpose today to further assess their masters who are preachers and get rid of some "dross" mixed in, and on the other hand, it is clearly for the sake of the palace Selecting talents is to let the scholars in southern Xinjiang know that the Zhennan Prince's Mansion is thirsty for talents.
Yes, Southern Border is about to establish a state. Once the Yue State is established, it will need a large number of civil servants to assist the monarch in governing the country!
Thinking about it, many people's hearts warmed up, their blood boiled, and they felt that their ambitions had finally had a chance to be realized, and they all sent Guan Yubai and Xiao Yu away with burning eyes, with anticipation and enthusiasm ignited in their hearts. hope
"rustle"
The warm wind in early summer blows the branches and leaves, and it also blows everyone's mood.
After leaving Wanmu Academy, Guan Yubai took Xiao Yu directly back to the Zhennan Prince's Mansion. At this time, just before noon, the scorching sun hung high above the blue sky, shedding wisps of scorching light.
Xiao Xiaoyu happily ran back to Bixiaotang against the sun, and after a while, a thin layer of sweat had already overflowed from his forehead and the back of his neck.
The nurses and maids were afraid that he would catch a cold, so they rushed to help him take a bath and change clothes.
But the excited little guy was restless, dancing in the warm tub, splashing the water all over the floor.
As soon as the nanny helped him put on his apron and jacket, he excitedly ran to find Nangong Yue, and eagerly told what he had seen and heard at Wanmu Academy today, gesticulating and talking about it. When it comes to flowers, plants and trees, he speaks clearly, but when it comes to people talking about monarchs and ministers, he is vague, especially emphasizing that he applauded his adoptive father and rewarded the golden cat with a son.
The little guy was so excited, Nangong Yue couldn't bear to dampen his enthusiasm, and nodded in cooperation from time to time, but in fact, he couldn't hear it.
After Xiao Xiao Yu finished speaking, Xiao Xiao Ye also woke up. He seemed to know that his brother was back, his eyes turned to Xiao Xiao Yu's direction, and he made an affectionate "Yi Ya" sound, as if he was greeting Xiao Xiao Yu.
"My brother is awake!" Xiao Xiaoyu rushed over upon hearing the sound, grabbed the rattle beside him, and skillfully shook it to tease his brother.
Little Xiao Ye stared curiously at the shaking rattle, his big black and white eyes moved flexibly.
Xiao Xiaoyu found it very interesting, and couldn't help saying: "Mother, my brother looks like Xiaoju!"
The same is true for Xiaoju, if he shakes a piece of dogtail grass around, Xiaoju will keep staring at it, and then suddenly fly over
Hearing this, Haitang, who was serving at the side, almost couldn't laugh out loud, and the people surnamed Xiao really had strange eyes.
Even Nangong Yue couldn't help laughing, she really didn't know how to respond to this sentence.
At this moment, Xiao Xiaoyu suddenly felt his wrist tighten. When he lowered his head, he found that Xiao Ye stretched out his little fleshy hand at some point, grabbed one of his wrists, and clenched it tightly.
Xiao Xiaoyu blinked, but smiled even more happily, "Mother, brother caught me."
Haha, my younger brother really looks like Xiaoju!
Xiao Xiaoyu looked at his younger brother carefully, and the more he looked, the more he felt that his younger brother looked like Xiaoju, especially those big innocent eyes!
Thinking about it, Xiao Xiaoyu stretched out his other hand, and lightly hooked his brother's fleshy chin twice like he usually licks Xiaoju's chin.
The little baby felt itchy, and laughed "giggle".
His laughter was so contagious that his little brother laughed too, and Nangong Yue and the maids also covered their mouths and laughed lightly.
The joyful laughter of the people inside and outside the house was rippling.
At the same time, what happened in Wanmu Academy today spread word of mouth among the literati and students, and discussions arose.
Guan Yubai struck while the iron was hot and continued to promote this model. He began to arrange similar exams in other towns in southern Xinjiang, and then gathered all the exam papers in Luoyue City for review. Topics of concern
However, for Nangong Yue, these things are just the autumn wind. Her attention is mostly focused on Xiao Xiaoye. After the full moon, the little guy changes more and more, with richer expressions. It got longer and raised its head, and the strength of the little meat kicking the quilt gradually increased, and the little meat claws that were clenched into fists were sent to his own mouth without paying attention.
She also experienced these changes once in Xiao Xiaoyu's body, but she still admired the magic of life from the bottom of her heart. Xiao Xiaoyu was also amazed as she watched her younger brother grow up little by little.
Time flies, and the blink of an eye is fleeting. It seems that little Xiao Ye has been two months in the blink of an eye, which also means that Nangong Yue can finally give birth to her confinement. The whole person feels relieved, and washes three buckets of water like the last time, in the clean room After waiting for a long time, he was willing to come out.
At first, Xiao Yi planned to hold a double full moon banquet for Xiao Ye just like Xiao Xiao Yu did at that time, but seeing how hard Nangong Yue was in confinement, he simply said that the hundred-day banquet would be postponed.
Luoyue City has been waiting patiently since late April. Seeing that Bixiaotang did not intend to hold a full moon banquet, he guessed that the son of the world should be planning to hold a double full moon banquet. Unexpectedly, this wait until May 20th Today, there was still no news, so I took the initiative to go to Bixiao Hall to give gifts and show hospitality.
For three consecutive days, congratulatory gifts and invitations were sent to Bixiao Hall in an endless stream. From morning till night, the concierge was so busy that he got angry and his voice was hoarse.
Those congratulatory gifts were basically not rejected by anyone who came, but for the greeting cards, Nangong Yue only met two or three families to reassure people's hearts. Gradually, life returned to normal, comfortable and leisurely, flirting with flowers, provoking grass, and being a matchmaker.
Early in the morning of this day, Que'er gave Nangong Yue a stack of lists, which were information from girls' homes in various prefectures in southern Xinjiang. Nangong Yue ordered Que'er to look for them when she was idle during confinement.
The purpose is naturally for Yuan Lingbai's marriage.
After Yuan Lingbai went to ask Xiao Yi for help but failed, Xiao Xiaoyu told his mother about it, and within a few days, Nangong Yue received another letter from Yuncheng.
Over the years, Yuncheng has been worried about the second son's marriage. He felt that it was not safe for the second son to be responsible for this matter, so he wrote this letter to Nangong Yue, asking her to help pay attention to the girl in Nanjiang , in the letter, Yuncheng sighed and sighed, emphasizing that she would not ask for anything else, as long as the second daughter-in-law is an innocent woman, Nangong Yue couldn't help but find this job for Que'er.
Que'er liked this kind of errand the most, and even joked with Huamei and Ying'er that Shi Zifei was going to learn from Yuncheng to be the matchmaker of Luoyue City!
Besides Nangong Yue, Yuan Yuyi was also very concerned about Yuan Lingbai's marriage. As soon as she got the news, she came to Nangong Yue's yard with great interest.
Knowing from Huamei that Nangongyue was in the small study, Yuan Yuyi picked up the curtain and went in by herself. As soon as she entered the door, she saw the small bed by the window, and little Xiao Ye lay on it and slept soundly. Zhengxiang.
Subconsciously, Yuan Yuyi slowed down her pace, and walked over on tiptoe, looking at the sweet and lovely sleeping face of the baby as if fascinated, at this moment, she completely forgot the purpose of her trip.
After a while, Yuan Yuyi raised her head to look at Nangong Yue who was sitting by the window, her dark eyes were shining like obsidian, and she sighed: "Yueer, brother Ye is so cute and cute!"
After staring at little Xiao Ye for a while, Yuan Yuyi remembered the business, her eyes fell on the few pieces of tissue paper in Nangong Yue's hand, she went to sit beside her.
"Sister Yi, take a look." Nangong Yue directly gave the stack of lists in her hand to Yuan Yuyi.
Yuan Yuyi took it unceremoniously, and looked at it with relish, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, looking in a good mood.
To be honest, Que'er had some doubts in his heart, whether Princess Liushuang really cared about her second brother's marriage, or was she just joining in the fun.
After a while, Yuan Yuyi turned over the first list, then paused, and saw a familiar name on the second list.
She couldn't help raising her eyebrows slightly, then turned to Nangong Yue and said, "Yue'er, I think Miss Hua is pretty good."
Yuan Yuyi has been in southern Xinjiang for more than half a year. She has a cheerful and generous personality. She has also met many girls in Luoyue City. Recently, she has gotten very close to Miss Hua and the others, and she also has a good understanding of Miss Hua's talents and temperament.
She likes Chinese girls, but
Yuan Yuyi's small face wrinkled, and she said in distress, "It's just that it's a pity to match my second brother."
Que'er tried hard to hold back her laughter when she heard the words, not knowing whether to agree with Yuan Yuyi or sympathize with Yuan Lingbai.
Nangong Yue who was drinking tea almost didn't choke, so she could only say implicitly: "Abo is fine."
"My second brother, don't I know?" Yuan Yuyi sighed quietly, thinking: Second brother, why can't you grow up, like Guan Yubai
Thinking about it, Yuan Yuyi's eyes sparkled again, and she lowered her voice jokingly and said, "Yue'er, do you know that there are many girls in the city who admire Guan Yubai?" Among them is Miss Hua.
Nangong Yue was startled, she had also heard about those girls throwing flowers to Guan Yubai near the city gate, she said with a smile: "It's just a hard work, Xiao Si receiving flowers!"
Yuan Yuyi witnessed the magnificence of falling flowers and rain on the street with her own eyes, and her smile became stronger. "In March, Guan Yubai once re-composed the first part of Butterfly Dreamwalking in Fengyun Teahouse."
Nangong Yue nodded. Xiao Yi and Xiao Xiaoyu were also there at the time. Both father and son had told her about it. Of course, for Xiao Xiaoyu, it was just that her adoptive father played a nice piece of music that day.
"The story spread in the city later, and for some reason, it became the official saying that Bai likes girls who can play the piano. Later, all the girls in the city went to buy pianos, piano scores, and courageous The older girl deliberately played the qin near the city gate, expressing her heart with the sound of the qin would benefit the shops that sell the qin, and I heard that even other musical instruments have risen as a result."
Yuan Yuyi said, covering her mouth and chuckling.
"There are also some girls who are good at painting, knowing that Guan Yubai has a white eagle, so they went to draw a lot of pictures of white eagles, and specially asked someone to set up a stall near the city gate to sell paintings."
Yuan Yuyi talked about some anecdotes incessantly, some things even Que'er had never heard of, so she couldn't help pricking up her ears, thinking in her heart that she would have a chance to communicate more with Liushuang County Lord.
After Yuan Yuyi spoke, she looked sad again. The more she talked, the more she felt that Guan Yubai was too good, and there was nothing wrong with it. In comparison, her second brother was really different.
It's no wonder that the second elder brother has been unable to get a wife, hey, it's just her younger sister who gives him more trouble! Yuan Yuyi thought worriedly.
Nangong Yue also thinks that Miss Hua is good, but the marriage is about your love and my wish, so it's hard to say whether it will work or not. Anyway, Yuan Lingbai is a man, so don’t worry, Yuan Yuyi’s marriage is imminent—in a few days, Yuan Yuyi will return to the capital to be married
"Sister Yi," Nangong Yue changed the topic with a smile, "When you set a date to leave for the capital, I will practice it for you with sister Xia and sister Xi!" A trace of jokes, "Although we can't go to the capital to add makeup to you, it's the same after you get married."
Mrs. Yu returned to Luoyue City more than half a month ago. This time she went to the capital to propose a marriage. She had already discussed with Yun Cheng the date of Yu Xiufan and Yuan Yuyi's marriage. In July after the founding of the country, Yuan Yuyi had to rush back to the capital to get married.
When it came to her marriage, Yuan Yuyi's face was tinged with a blush of shame, and all kinds of emotions were mixed in her heart, including the reluctance to leave southern Xinjiang, the expectation of seeing her mother again, and the imminent marriage Anxiety and joy
"My mother asked me to leave before the end of the month." Yuan Yuyi said shyly while pinching her handkerchief. As for the specific date, she planned to discuss it with Yu Xiufan before deciding.
"Don't worry." Nangong Yue looked at Yuan Yuyi with a smile on her face, making her cheeks turn redder. She was about to change the subject when a cute little milk voice happened to save her from embarrassment.
"Mother! Brother!"
Xiao Yu, who had just finished class, came back briskly, and the two of them immediately turned their attention to the little guy, talking and laughing endlessly.
Bixiaotang is like a paradise, carefree. In contrast, the atmosphere in Luoyue City and even the entire southern border is getting more and more tense.
The time for the founding of the country is getting closer and closer, and everything is being prepared intensely. In the Zhennan Prince's Mansion, soldiers who came to see the Zhennan King came one after another, and the palace was full of people.
These soldiers are basically the confidantes of King Zhennan, and most of them came to report to King Zhennan about the various preparations for the establishment of the country. Those cumbersome things really made Zhennan King's head grow bigger, and he wished to thank the guests behind closed doors.
At dusk that day, King Zhennan, who had been busy all day, managed to send Tang Qinghong away, and it was quiet for less than a stick of incense, and Chang then came to report: "My lord, General You, please see me."
In fact, King Zhennan doesn't want to see anyone anymore, but this general has followed him for more than 20 years. He has been guarding the eastern border of southern Xinjiang for seven or eight years, and he only returns to Luoyue City once or twice a year to report on his duties. During this period of time, General You's appearance in Luoyue City was naturally related to the establishment of the country.
King Zhennan hesitated for a moment, but still asked Chang Sui to bring him in.
General Na You was about the same age as King Zhennan, with a beard on his black face, and his heavy armor made a clashing sound as he walked.
"The last general will see the prince!" He solemnly knelt down on one knee in front of King Zhennan, his voice resounding like a bell.
"Cunhuan doesn't need to be polite." Zhennan Wang raised his hand with a smile and called him by his name.
After thanking Queen Zhennan, You Cunhuan stood up and expressed his admiration for King Zhennan impassionedly, and then recalled the old feelings of the past, which made King Zhennan very emotional.
You Cunhuan carefully observed his words and demeanor, and saw that King Zhennan showed affection for him, so he said meaningfully: "The prince will soon be the king of a country, and there are some things that should be prepared early."
"Preparation?" King Zhennan looked at You Cunhuan in a daze, "Everything is prepared by a special person, what else does this king prepare?"
"My lord," You Cunhuan hurriedly reminded, "Nowadays most of the military power in the army is in the hands of the elder son. It is really inappropriate for the father to be weak and the son to be strong!"
When he heard about military power, King Zhennan frowned slightly and rubbed the center of his brows.
Seeing that Zhennan King was silent, You Cunhuan urged him while the iron was hot: "Why doesn't your lord learn from the predecessors to drink wine and release military power?"
You Cunhuan made the words so plain, and Zhennan Wang naturally understood, but his brows frowned even tighter, and he was almost about to roar: How can this be done? !
For some time now, King Zhennan has been in fear every day. The closer the date of founding the country, the more frightened he is, worried that Dayu will suddenly send an army to attack him.
At this time, if he takes back the military power, if Dayu's million-strong army arrives, doesn't that mean that he himself will "conquer in person"? !
On the battlefield, the sword has no eyes, and no one is absolutely safe. Have you seen how many emperors in history died in the "Yujia personal conquest"? !
If he accidentally died in battle, what would his little grandchildren do? ! Maybe this foundation will be ruined by Xiao Yi's rebellious son!
Thinking about it, King Zhennan's entire face turned dark, he just felt that You Cunhuan had been at the border for a long time, his brain was dull, and he had no eyesight!
"Snapped!"
Zhennan Wang slammed his palm on the book case, and asked righteously: "This king is about to ascend the throne, what is your intention to provoke our father and son at this time?!"
Zhennan Wang's voice was so cold that it almost fell into ice slag, and You Cunhuan's heart skipped a beat in fright, and he subconsciously plopped down on the ground, and blurted out: "My lord, the general will not dare."
You Cunhuan bowed his head slightly, wondering in his heart: Didn't the prince always dislike the eldest son? Shouldn't it be in line with the prince's wishes to regain the military power in the hands of the prince? Why does the prince seem to be a different person? !
Or maybe the prince thinks that there should be no troubles before enthroning, and should wait until after enthroning, and then take it easy
Zhennan Wang looked at You Cunhuan more and more annoyed, he waved his hand and said, "If you have nothing to do, you can go back."
You Cunhuan really didn't know what to do, and he didn't dare to say anything more, so he stepped back. He was thinking about asking his old friends in Luoyue City to inquire about it before making a remedy.
After You Cunhuan left, King Zhennan was left in the outer study. He sighed deeply, feeling that he was so lonely, talking to some unreasonable fools would really shorten his life for a few years!
He only sighed halfway, and there was another sound of raising the curtain, accompanied by Kikyo's voice: "My lord!"
"Go out, I want to be quiet!" King Zhennan said impatiently.
As soon as the words fell, a familiar voice sounded from the other side of the door curtain: "Grandfather is tired? Then my brother and I are going home."
King Zhennan froze in an instant. How could it be his two precious grandchildren? !
Zhennan Wang hurriedly stood up and went to greet his grandson in person, his tone became soft and friendly: "It's Brother Yu and Brother Ye! Come in quickly."
Xiao Xiaoyu was the first to walk in, followed by the wet nurse holding the big red baby.
"Grandfather," Xiao Xiaoyu looked up at King Zhennan worriedly, and asked with concern, "Are you tired? Are you uncomfortable?"
When Zhennan Wang heard the words, he felt very comfortable in his heart. Where can he find such a filial and considerate little grandson! Really blessed by the ancestors!
"Grandfather is fine, that is, someone made grandfather angry just now." Zhennan Wang smiled so lovingly, his eyes narrowed, and took Xiao Xiaoyu's hand to sit down on the armchair by the window.
Xiao Xiaoyu patted the back of Zhennan Wang's hand reassuringly and said, "Grandfather, don't be angry. Brother Yu and younger brother came to pay grandfather's respect."
As he said that, Xiao Xiaoyu beckoned at the nurse with his other hand, signaling her to come over. ..
The wet nurse bowed her knees tremblingly and bowed to the King of Zhennan with her baby in her arms: "My servant and the second young master greet the prince."
Xiao Yu, who had just had enough, was concentrating on spitting out milk bubbles in his swaddling baby and playing with it. King Zhennan saw it and felt that the little grandson was saying hello to him.
What a filial child! The king of Zhennan felt very rare, and sighed: "Brother Ye is really like this king!" Look at the eyes, nose, and mouth, they are all carved out of the same mold as himself.
The nurse holding the baby couldn't help but quickly glanced at Zhennan Wang's rough face, and there was an indescribable taste in her eyes.
As for Xiao Xiaoyu, she has long been used to hearing that her mother said that her younger brother looked like her father, her aunt said that her younger brother looked like her mother, Fang's great-grandfather said that her younger brother looked like her grandmother, her grandmother said that her younger brother looked like her grandfather, and some people said that her younger brother looked like him, but in his It seems that the younger brother is clearly like Xiaoju!
King Zhennan looked at little Xiao Ye for a long time and was finally satisfied, feeling in his heart: His little grandson is really the most beautiful and well-behaved child in the world, and the blood of their old Xiao family is extraordinary!
After he ascends the throne, the two precious golden grandchildren will be sons and phoenixes of the dragon!
Thinking about it, King Zhennan felt relieved all of a sudden, as if the two channels of Ren and Du had been opened up, and his eyes became more open.
That's right, your hard work will pay off!
It doesn't matter that Xiao Yi's rebellious son doesn't appreciate it, it doesn't matter if he is unreliable, his grandson will take care of him, and Jin Sun will definitely be wise and powerful under his careful nurturing!
For the sake of his two precious grandchildren, he must be strong, must be cautious in every step, and guard the foundation of the Xiao family well. When the grandchildren grow up, he will completely entrust their great country To Jinsun's hands.
Thinking about it, the king of Zhennan couldn't help feeling proud, his blood boiled, and he felt that he had a heavy responsibility and a long way to go.
"grandfather?"
Xiao Xiaoyu tilted his head and looked at King Zhennan suspiciously. He felt that his grandfather seemed a little weird. Should he hire a doctor for his grandfather
