The Favoured Medical Princess: 883 Marshal (two updates in one)

www.lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of Sheng Chong's Daughter-in-law: The Medical Concubine!

Little Xiao Yu is a very busy child.

Every morning, after washing up and having breakfast, I go to my adoptive father to study and play; in the afternoon, I help my father take care of my mother and younger brother; in the afternoon, I often accompany my father to the study to work; occasionally, I have to accompany him The adoptive father goes out.

On April 25th, Xiao Yu went out with his adoptive father early in the morning. Today they were going to Wanmu Academy in the south of the city.

Since last month, Xiao Yi and Guan Yubai have planned to conduct an examination for teachers in private schools and colleges. After more than a month of preparation, this matter has finally begun to be tried.

They plan to trial it in five nearby cities including Luoyue City and Heyu City. The first test location will be Wanmu Academy in Luoyue City.

The written examination was held yesterday, April 24th. Guan Yubai read the test papers sent by Wanmu Academy last night. Today he specially brought Xiao Yu to Wanmu Academy because he wanted to meet him. 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 widest area and the largest scale. The students who attend it are basically either rich or noble. The descendant of aristocratic family.

In order to take this exam, Wanmu Academy suspended classes for three days. Today, the academy is empty, with no students strolling back and forth; it is also quiet, with no sound of students reading loudly. .

The people at Wanmu Academy had already received the news and knew that Guan Yubai was coming to the academy today. Chief 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 also brought a beautiful girl with him. The boys came together.

The news that Guan Yubai is Shisun's adoptive father has long been spread in Luoyue City. Yu Shanchang and others secretly exchanged glances, and they all bowed respectfully and said: "I have met Marshal, Shisun. ”

"Mountain Chief, gentlemen, how polite you are." Guan Yubai smiled slightly. Under the soft light of the rising sun, he looked like a orchid and jade tree. Dressed as a Confucian scholar as usual, he seemed to be in no way among the scholars. Not obtrusive.

Guan Yubai is now the military marshal of Southern Xinjiang. His status is only lower than that of Zhennan King and his son. However, not many people have seen him in Southern Xinjiang, and only those lieutenant generals of the Southern Xinjiang Army have seen him. And those children of aristocratic families who had attended banquets at the Royal Palace or Bixiaotang had the opportunity to see his true face in Lushan.

Everyone was secretly surprised when they saw how elegant and handsome he was.

"Please, Marshal, the gentlemen from each academy are already waiting in the Tianxi Hall." Chief Yu Shan stretched out his hand to make an invitation without being humble or overbearing. Although he was sixty years old, he was still energetic and had a pair of shining eyes. He looked at Guan Yubai calmly.

As for this exam, the academies had vague news as early as half a month ago. They originally thought that it was just like the imperial examination to select talents, for the purpose of survival of the fittest, and to eliminate some mediocre talents who misled the students. The teachers in Wanmu Academy each have their own strengths, and their talents and learning far exceed those of ordinary academies. Therefore, Yu Shanchang was not worried about this exam.

But after reading the test papers yesterday, Yu Shanchang realized that he was wrong. The purpose of the prince and the marshal in arranging this test may be more far-reaching than he expected.

The crowd gathered around Guan Yubai and Xiao Yu towards the Tianxi Hall like stars over the moon.

This is the first time for Xiao Yu to come to Wanmu Academy. As he walks, he looks around with interest and asks curious questions from time to time. He has short legs, so he walks slower. , everyone had to slow down and match his pace.

Slowly walking through several verandas, passing through several courtyards, and then around a pond, the Tianxi Hall appeared in front. The cabinets on all sides of the hall are wide open, and at a glance you can see that gentlemen wearing various colors of trousers are already sitting in the hall, seeming to be whispering to each other.

Until one person in the hall first noticed the arrival of Guan Yubai and his party, then hundreds of eyes in the hall were directed at them, welcoming them into the hall with bright eyes.

There were nearly a hundred people sitting in the hall, densely packed, with different eyes. Looking at Guan Yubai, there were scrutiny, exploration, doubts, and disapproval...

Guan Yubai held hands with Xiao Yu and walked forward calmly, with a calm look on his face. He was a military commander who was galloping on the battlefield and fighting **** battles among tens of thousands of people. How could he care about just a few people? A scholar's perspective.

At the front of the hall, there was a large table with red lacquered wood and carved flowers. However, after the big case, only an imperial chair was prepared for Guan Yubai. The people in the academy did not expect that Shisun would come, so they hurriedly moved it temporarily. Come over with a rose chair.

Guan Yubai and Xiao Yu sat down respectively, and the hall was silent for a moment.

Soon, the gentlemen stood up one by one and saluted Guan Yubai and Xiao Yu in unison.

Little Xiao Yu had seen a grander scene in the military camp. From the beginning to the end, the corners of his mouth were curled up, showing no timidity at all. However, he was still keenly aware that the people in this room seemed different from the tall, strong and loud-voiced soldiers in the military camp.

The little guy opened his dark and clear eyes and looked at the 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. Today I invite you all to come and help me resolve my doubts."

The surroundings were quiet again. Everyone present was not stupid. They knew that Guanyin Bai was a great marshal. Even if there were real problems, he could negotiate with his advisers. There was no need to ask them. Solving doubts was just an excuse. , To test and teach them is true.

After Guan Yubai paused for a moment, he asked: "Gentlemen, what do you think is a king and what is a minister?"

This question surprised everyone, but then they felt that their guess was indeed good.

Following that, Guan Yubai directly called out the name: "I wonder if Mr. Jize can help me clear up my doubts?"

For a time, several eyes were looking in the same direction, the far right of the second row.

There was a middle-aged scholar with a goatee sitting there. He slowly stood up, bowed and replied: "Come back to the marshal, the king is the master of a country; the minister is the one who serves the king."

Ji Ze gave an extremely concise answer, obviously not intending to stand out, but only trying not to make any mistakes.

Guan Yubai then asked: "So, what is a wise king and what is a good minister? Does a wise king have many good ministers beside him?"

Hearing this, several people in the hall already showed thoughtful expressions. They seemed to realize the subtle connection between yesterday's test paper and today's official question, and even vaguely guessed the next question.

Ji Ze seemed to be unaware and answered again: "A wise king is a king who works hard to govern and revitalize his family and country; a good minister is a loyal king who serves the country and benefits the people. A good minister chooses a wise king to serve." As he said this, Ji Ze's eyes were half-cast. A flash of disdain and anger flashed under his eyes.

"So, what is the way to be loyal to the emperor?" Guan Yubai asked his third question.

That’s it! Chief Yu Shanchang on the side thought to himself, and suddenly realized that he had thought 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 examination paper, which was not about "monarchs and ministers", but "teachers and students".

The first question: What is a teacher and what is a living?

Question 2: Does a strict teacher produce a good disciple?

Question 3: What is the way to respect a teacher?

……

Yu Shanchang felt very sad in his heart. These questions from Guan Yubai were really wonderful.

Since the previous dynasty, the monarch has believed in Legalism, advocated respecting the monarch and subordinate his ministers, and believed that the arbitrary imperial power of Qian Gang was the right way for the monarch. They often preached that "the monarch wants his ministers to die, and the ministers have to die." But in fact, in the past, This is not the case for kings and ministers. Confucius said: "The king entrusts his ministers with courtesy, and the ministers serve the king with loyalty." Many, many years ago, the king and his ministers used teachers and friends.

Many people were whispering among themselves, but Ji Ze's face changed slightly, he raised his eyes and rolled his eyes at Guan Yu. He didn't want to say anything against his will, so he didn't answer for a long time.

Suddenly, another young man in blue robes in his twenties suddenly stood up and bumped into the chair behind him, making a harsh "thump" sound. The young man did not bow, but directly said to the official in a provocative tone: "If you want to discuss the 'way of loyalty to the emperor', you must know that eating the emperor's salary and being loyal to the emperor are important!"

The blue-robed young man looked at Guan Yubai with mocking eyes. The Zhennan Palace is treasonous. Guan Yubai is just a lackey of the Xiao family. He dares to talk about loyalty to the emperor. It is ridiculous!

Guan Yubai smiled slightly, shook his head and said, "That's wrong. If we want to talk about the 'way of loyalty to the emperor', let's talk about the 'way of being a king' first." Guan Yubai spoke slowly and slowly, quoting from scriptures. Zi Zhuji, "The way of a king is to be loyal to the people and trust in God. To think of the people and benefit the people is to be loyal; to wish the history a correct speech is to trust. The king is loyal to the people, and the ministers are loyal to the king."

As he spoke, Guan Yubai looked around the hall again and said loudly 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 spoken, the hall fell silent. The young man in blue robe was speechless for a moment, his face flushed with anger. He felt that Guan Yubai was really shameless. He was clearly claiming to be a "good minister".

"Bah bang bang!"

A burst of crisp applause suddenly sounded in the hall. Everyone subconsciously followed the sound and saw the boy sitting next to Guan Yubai clapping excitedly.

The foster father is so awesome! Xiao Xiao Yu looked at Guan Yubai with bright eyes, his cheeks flushed with excitement.

In fact, Xiao Yu couldn't understand what his adoptive father said at all, but whatever his adoptive father said was naturally correct.

Soon, another loud round of applause joined in.

I saw a green figure standing in the last row. It was a thin man in his forties. He had a smile on his face and high-fived him three times.

As a result, everyone's eyes turned to Xiao Yu again. The thin man's brows were sparse and he calmly bowed to Guanyu Bai and said, "The marshal is right."

After a pause, he continued: "A good minister is like Hou Ji, who has a good reputation, and the king is famous, and his descendants inherit it, and his reputation is boundless; a loyal minister is like Bigan, who has killed his own child, and the king has made mistakes. , mourning the loss of the country and the Yi family, only taking an empty name. It is better to be a good minister than a loyal minister."

What he means is that good ministers will make the emperor and his ministers complement each other, but a loyal minister like Bigan was killed by a tyrant, his nine tribes were exterminated, and then the country perished, which means that he only had the name of a loyal minister.

Guan Yu's white eyes flashed, he tapped his knuckles twice on the big case, and looked at the thin man with interest. This was an unexpected surprise.

He raised his eyebrows slightly and asked, "May I ask your name, sir?"

The skinny man suppressed the joy in his heart and replied seriously: "Student Ji Ming."

Guanyu Bai was about to say more, but out of the corner of his eye, he saw Xiao Yu next to him waving to the man who called himself Ji Ming, "Come here."

Ji Ming was stunned for a moment, then he strode forward in front of the big red lacquered wood carving case, and asked the little boy, "I wonder if my grandson has any advice?"

Little Xiao Yu smiled kindly at him, took out a golden cat collar from his purse and handed it out, imitating his father's tone and said: "It's for you."

Of course Xiao Yu didn't understand what Ji Ming just said, but since the other party applauded his adoptive father, he was a smart man.

Ji Ming glanced at Guan Yubai's face, accepted it, bowed and said, "Thank you, Shisun."

Seeing this, Guan Yubai raised a faint smile at the corner of his mouth, and said: "Ji Ming, come to Zhennan Prince's Mansion tomorrow."

Ji Ming couldn't help but stare, and responded hurriedly: "Yes, Marshal." His voice rose slightly uncontrollably, his eyes sparkling.

At this moment, most of the people in the hall looked at the thin man with envy, and a sentence could not help but emerge in their hearts: After ten years of hard work, no one asked, and he became famous all over the world in one fell swoop.

Ji Ming has been appreciated by Guan Yubai today, and his future will be bright and prosperous 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 bit complicated, with regret, regret, and envy all at once. Hey, I should have seized the opportunity just now to let Guan Yubai see them. His talent is!

No, they still have a chance!

Some people who are quick-thinking immediately figured out something. Today, Guan Yubai came to Wanmu Academy specifically to further evaluate these gentlemen who are preachers and get rid of some "dross" mixed in. On the other hand, it is clear that they are also In order to select talents for the palace, and to let the scholars in southern Xinjiang know that the Zhennan palace is thirsty for talents.

Yes, Southern Xinjiang is about to establish a country. Once the Yue Kingdom is established, a large number of civil servants will be needed to assist the monarch in governing the country!

Thinking about it, many people's hearts became hot and their blood boiled. They felt that their ambitions finally had a chance to be realized. Everyone sent Guan Yubai and Xiao Yu away with blazing eyes, and their hearts burned with excitement. expectations and hopes...

"簌猌..."

The warm breeze in early summer stirred the branches and leaves, and also made everyone feel happy.

After leaving Wanmu Academy, Guan Yubai took Xiao Yu directly back to Zhennan Palace. At this time, just after noon, the scorching sun hung high in the blue sky, casting down wisps of scorching light.

Little Xiao Yu ran happily back to Bixiao Hall under the sun. After a while, a thin layer of sweat overflowed on his forehead and the back of his neck.

The nurse and the maids were afraid that he would catch cold, so they hurriedly helped him bathe and change clothes.

The excited little guy was restless and danced in the warm bathtub, splashing water all over the floor.

As soon as the wet nurse helped him put on his bellyband and middle coat, he happily ran to Nangong Yue and eagerly told what he had seen and heard in Wanmu Academy today. While talking, he showed his hand drawings. Feet, he spoke clearly when talking about flowers, plants and trees, but when it came to everyone talking about the monarch and his ministers, he was vague, especially emphasizing the fact that he applauded his adoptive father and rewarded the golden cat with a son.

The little guy was so excited that Nangong Yue couldn't bear to dampen his enthusiasm. He nodded in agreement from time to time, but in fact, he was confused.

After Xiao Yu finished speaking, Xiao Ye also woke up. He seemed to know that his brother was back. He turned his eyes in the direction of Xiao Yu and made a "beep" sound affectionately, seeming to be talking to Xiao Xiao. Yu said hello.

"Brother, wake up!" Xiao Yu heard the sound and rushed over. He grabbed the rattle on the side and swung it skillfully to amuse his brother.

Little Xiao Ye stared at the swinging rattle curiously, his **** and white eyes moving flexibly.

Little Xiao Yu found it very interesting and couldn't help but say: "Mom, my brother looks like Xiao Ju!"

The same is true for Xiao Ju. If he swings a piece of dogtail grass around, Xiao Ju will keep staring, and then suddenly swoop over...

Hearing this, Haitang, who was serving at the side, almost laughed out loud. The people named Xiao had really strange eyes.

Even Nangong Yue couldn't help but laugh a little, and really didn't know how to respond to this sentence.

At this moment, Xiao Xiao Yu suddenly felt a tightening in his wrist. When he looked down, he realized that Xiao Xiao Ye had stretched out his small fleshy hand at some point, grabbed one of his wrists, and held it tightly.

Xiao Xiao Yu blinked and smiled even more happily, "Mom, my brother caught me."

Haha, my brother does look like Xiao Ju!

Xiao Xiaoyu looked at his younger brother carefully. The more he looked at him, the more he felt that he looked like Xiao Ju, especially those big innocent eyes!

Thinking about it, Xiao Yu stretched out his other hand and gently hooked his brother's fleshy chin twice as he usually did with Xiao Ju's chin.

The little baby felt itchy and giggled.

His laughter was very contagious, causing his little brother to laugh too, and Nangong Yue and the maids also covered their mouths and chuckled.

The cheerful laughter of everyone echoed inside and outside the house.

At the same time, word of mouth about what happened in Wanmu Academy today spread rapidly among the literati students, and the discussion was heated.

Guan Yubai struck while the iron was hot and continued to promote this model. He began to arrange the same exams in other towns in southern Xinjiang, and then concentrated all the examination papers in Luoyue City for review. Within a few days, this matter became a major issue in southern Xinjiang. The topic that scholars are most concerned about...

However, for Nangong Yue, these things are just the passing of the autumn wind. Her attention is mostly focused on little Xiao Ye. After the full moon, the little guy has changed more and more, and his expressions have become richer. As he lay there for a longer time, he would raise his head, and the force of kicking the quilt with his little fleshy feet gradually increased, and the little fleshy paws clenched into fists would be pushed into his own mouth accidentally...

She has experienced these changes once with Xiao Yu, but she still sincerely admires the magic of life. Xiao Xiao is also amazed as she watches her brother grow up little by little.

Time flies and flies by in the blink of an eye. It seems that little Xiao Ye is two months old in a blink of an eye, which also means that Nangong Yue can finally have two months. She feels relieved and washes three buckets of water just like last time. I stayed in the clean room for a long time before I came out.

Xiao Yi initially planned to hold a double full moon banquet for Xiao Ye just like Xiao Yu did at that time, but seeing how hard Nangong Yue was during confinement, she simply decided to postpone the banquet for a hundred days.

Everyone in Luo Yuecheng has been waiting patiently since late April. Seeing that Bixiaotang showed no intention of hosting a full moon banquet, they guessed that the prince was planning to host another double full moon banquet. Unexpectedly, the waiting time would be five On the 20th of the month, there was still no news, so he took the initiative to send gifts to Bixiaotang to show his courtesy.

For three days in a row, congratulatory gifts and invitations were sent to Bixiao Hall in an endless stream. From morning to night, the concierge was so busy that he got angry and his voice was hoarse.

Those congratulatory gifts were basically open to all comers, but for greetings, Nangong Yue only met with two or three families symbolically to appease people's hearts. Gradually, the days returned to normal, comfortable and leisurely, picking flowers and messing around. Be a matchmaker.

Early in the morning that day, Que'er gave Nangong Yue a stack of lists. This was information about girls' families in various prefectures in southern Xinjiang. It was Nangong Yue who had nothing to do during confinement and ordered Que'er to go. Looking for.

The purpose is naturally for Yuan Lingbai's marriage.

After Yuan Lingbai went to Xiao Yi for help but failed, Xiao Yu told his mother about it. A few days later, Nangong Yue received another letter from Yuncheng.

Over the years, Yuncheng has been worried about his second son's marriage. He felt that it was not safe to leave this matter to him, so he wrote this letter to Nangong Yue, asking her to help keep an eye on Nan Gongyue. In the letter, Yuncheng sighed and sighed in the letter to the girl from Xinjiang, emphasizing that she didn't want anything else, as long as her second daughter-in-law was an innocent woman. Nangong Yue couldn't help but laugh, so she found this job for Que'er.

Que'er liked this kind of job the most, and even jokingly told Huamei, Ying'er and the others that the Crown Princess was going to imitate Yuncheng and become Luo Yuecheng's matchmaker!

In addition to 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.

Learning from Huamei that Nangong Yue was in the small study, Yuan Yuyi picked up the curtain and went in. As soon as she entered the door, she saw the small bed placed by the window, with little Xiao Ye lying on it. Sleeping soundly up there.

Yuan Yuyi subconsciously slowed down her steps and walked over quietly, looking at the sweet and cute sleeping face of the baby as if fascinated. At this moment, she completely forgot about the purpose of her trip. .

After a while, Yuan Yuyi raised her head and looked at Nangong Yue who was sitting by the window, her dark eyes shining like obsidian, and sighed: "Yue'er, brother Ye is so good and cute!"

After staring at Xiao Ye for a while, Yuan Yuyi finally remembered the business, her eyes fell on the pieces of tissue paper in Nangong Yue's hand, and she walked to sit next to 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 were slightly raised, and she looked in a good mood.

To be honest, Que'er had some doubts in her heart as to whether the Lord of Liushuang County really cared about her second brother's marriage, or if he was just joining in the fun.

After a while, Yuan Yuyi turned over the first list, then looked at it and saw a familiar name in the second list.

She couldn't help but raise her eyebrows slightly, 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 temperament. She has also met many girls in Luoyue City. Recently, she has become very close to Chinese girls and they have a good understanding of their talent, learning and temperament. .

She likes Miss Hua, but...

Yuan Yuyi’s little face wrinkled up, and she said distressedly: “It’s just that it’s a pity to match my second brother.”

Quie'er tried her best to hold back her laughter when she heard this. She didn't know whether to agree with Yuan Yuyi or sympathize with Yuan Lingbai.

Nangong Yue, who was drinking tea, almost choked and could only say implicitly: "Abo is very good."

"My second brother, don't I know it yet?" Yuan Yuyi sighed faintly and thought to herself: Second brother, why can't you grow up a little bit, like Guan Yubai...

Thinking about it, Yuan Yuyi's eyes sparkled again, and she lowered her voice and said, "Yue'er, do you know that there are many girls in the city who admire Guan Yubai?" including Miss Hua.

Nangong Yue was stunned. She had also heard about those girls throwing flowers to Guan Yubai near the city gate. She said with a smile: "Thank you for your hard work, little four!"

Yuan Yuyi had witnessed with her own eyes the spectacular scene of falling flowers and rain on the street, and her smile became even stronger, "In March, Guan Yubai re-composed the first verse of "Butterfly Dreams" at Feng Yun Teahouse..."

Nangong Yue nodded. Xiao Yi and Xiao Yu were also present at that time. Both father and son had told her that, of course, for Xiao Yu, it was just that his adoptive father played a nice piece of music that day. .

"This incident later spread in the city. Somehow, it became a popular saying that Bai likes girls who can play the piano. Later, all the girls in the city went to buy pianos and piano scores. There are also daring girls who deliberately play the harp near the city gate, using the harp to express their true feelings... It actually gives an advantage to those shops that sell the harp, and I heard that even other musical instruments have gone up in value as a result."

Yuan Yuyi said, covering her mouth and smiling softly.

"There were also some girls who were good at painting who knew that Guan Yubai had a white eagle, so they painted a lot of pictures of the white eagle, and specially invited people to set up a stall near the city gate to sell the paintings..."

Yuan Yuyi kept talking about some anecdotes, some of which even Magpie had never heard of. She couldn't help but pricked up her ears, thinking that she would have the opportunity to communicate more with Liushuang County Lord.

After talking about it, Yuan Yuyi looked sad again. The more she talked, the more she felt that Guan Yubai was so good that there was nothing wrong with him. In comparison, her second brother was really different.

It’s no wonder that the second brother has been unable to find a wife. Hey, he has no choice but to have her sister to worry more about him! Yuan Yuyi thought worriedly.

Nangong Yue also thinks that Miss Hua is good, but marriage is a matter of mutual consent, so it’s hard to say whether it will work out or not. Anyway, Yuan Lingbai is a man, so there is no need to 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 subject with a smile, "When you decide on a date to return to the capital, I, Sister Xia, Sister Xi, and I will implement it for you!" As she said this, she said with a look between her eyebrows. With a hint of joking, "Although we can't go to the capital to add makeup to your makeup, it will be the same after you get married."

Mrs. Yu returned to Luo Yuecheng more than half a month ago. This time she went to the royal capital to propose marriage. She had already discussed with Yuncheng the wedding date of Yu Xiufan and Yuan Yuyi. Both of them are not too young. The wedding It was set in July after the founding of the country, so Yuan Yuyi had to rush back to the capital to prepare for the wedding.

When talking about her marriage, Yuan Yuyi's little face was stained with a hint of shy blush, and various emotions in her heart were mixed together, including the reluctance to leave southern Xinjiang, the expectation of seeing her mother soon, and the The anxiety and joy of getting married...

"My mother asked me to leave before the end of the month..." Yuan Yuyi said shyly while holding the handkerchief. As for the specific date, she planned to discuss it with Yu Xiufan before deciding.

"Don't be in a hurry." Nangong Yue looked at Yuan Yuyi with a smile on her face, which made her cheeks turn redder. She was thinking of changing the topic when a cute little voice just saved her from embarrassment.

"Mother! Brother!"

Little Xiao Yu, who had just finished class, stumbled back. The two of them immediately turned their attention to the little guy, chatting and laughing.

The Bixiao Hall is like a paradise, carefree and carefree. In contrast, the atmosphere in Luoyue City and even in the entire southern Xinjiang is becoming increasingly tense.

The time for the founding of the country is getting closer and closer, and everything is being prepared nervously. In the Zhennan Prince's Mansion, soldiers who came to see the King of Zhennan came one after another, and the palace was crowded with people.

These soldiers are basically the confidants of King Zhennan. Most of them came to report various preparations for founding the country to King Zhennan. Those complicated things really made King Zhennan feel dizzy and he wished he could thank his guests behind closed doors. .

At dusk that day, the King of Zhennan, who had been busy all day, finally sent Tang Qinghong away. After less than a stick of incense, he was quiet for a while. The chief attendant came to report: "Your Majesty, General You wants to see you."

The King of Zhennan actually doesn’t want to see anyone anymore, but General You has followed him for more than twenty years. He has been guarding the eastern border of southern Xinjiang for seven or eight years. He only returns to Luoyue City once or twice a year on weekdays. Debriefing. At this time, General You's appearance in Luoyue City is naturally related to the imminent founding of the country.

The King of Zhennan hesitated for a moment, and then asked Chang Sui to bring the people in.

General You is about the same age as King Zhennan. He has a black face and a beard. His heavy armor makes a clashing sound when he steps. He looks tall and thick.

"I will see you at last, the prince!" He solemnly knelt down on one knee in front of King Zhennan, his voice as loud as a bell.

"Cun Huan doesn't need to be polite." King Zhennan raised his hand with a smile and called him by his name.

After You Cunhuan thanked Queen Zhennan, he stood up and expressed his admiration for King Zhennan impassionedly. Then he recalled some old friendships in the past, which made King Zhennan sigh with emotion.

You Cunhuan carefully observed his words and expressions, and when he saw King Zhennan showing affection toward him, he said meaningfully: "Your Majesty will soon be the king of a country, and there are some things that should be prepared in advance."

"Preparation?" King Zhennan looked at You Cunhuan in confusion, "Everything has been prepared by dedicated personnel. What else do I need to prepare?"

"Your Majesty," You Cunhuan reminded hastily, "most of the military power in the army is now in the hands of the Crown Prince. 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 his brows.

Seeing that the King of Zhennan was silent, You Cunhuan encouraged him while the iron was hot: "Why don't you, Your Majesty, follow the example of your predecessors and release your military power over a glass of wine?"

You Cunhuan said it so plainly, and King Zhennan naturally understood it, but his brows furrowed even more tightly, and he almost roared: How can this be done? !

For this period of time, King Zhennan has been worried every day. The closer the date of founding the country, the more panicked he became, worried that Dayu would suddenly send a large army to attack.

If he takes back his military power at this time, if Dayu's million-strong army arrives, wouldn't that mean that he himself will "conquer personally"? !

On the battlefield, swords have no eyes, and no one is absolutely safe. Have you not seen how many emperors in history have died in "conquests"? !

If he accidentally dies in battle, what will his 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 felt that You Cunhuan had been at the border for a long time and his brain was dull. He had such a lack of eyesight!

"Bang!"

The King of Zhennan slammed his palm on the desk and asked righteously: "I am about to ascend the throne. What is your intention to instigate our father and son at this time?!"

The voice of King Zhennan was so cold that ice shards almost fell out of the ice. It frightened You Cunhuan's heart. He subconsciously plopped down on the ground and blurted out: "Your Majesty, I will not dare."

You Cunhuan lowered his head slightly, wondering in his heart: Hasn’t the prince always disliked the prince? Shouldn't taking back the military power from the Crown Prince's hands be in line with the prince's wishes? Why does the prince seem to be a different person? !

Or maybe the prince feels that there should be no more trouble before he ascends the throne, and should wait until after he ascends the throne to take things slowly?

The more King Zhennan looked at You Cunhuan, the more annoyed he became. He waved his hand and said, "If nothing happens, you can go back."

You Cunhuan felt really unsure and did not dare to say anything more, so he withdrew. He thought that he might as well find his old friends in Luo Yue City to inquire about it first and then make up for it.

After You Cunhuan left, King Zhennan was left in the outer study room. He sighed deeply, feeling that such a wise and powerful man as he was was so lonely. Talking to some fools who couldn't make sense would really shorten his life for a few years. !

Halfway through his sigh, there was another sound of curtain lifting, accompanied by Platycodon grandiflorum's voice: "Your Majesty..."

"Go out, I want to be quiet for a while!" King Zhennan said impatiently.

As soon as he finished speaking, a familiar voice sounded from the other side of the curtain: "Grandpa is tired?... Then my brother and I are going home."

King Zhennan froze instantly. How could it be his two precious little grandchildren? !

The King of Zhennan quickly 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."

Little Xiao Yu was the first to walk in, followed closely by the nurse holding a bright red baby.

"Grandpa," Xiao Yu looked up at King Zhennan with a worried look on his face and asked with concern, "Are you tired? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

When King Zhennan heard this, he felt extremely at ease. Where could he find such a filial and considerate little grandson? It is truly a blessing from our ancestors!

"Grandpa is fine, it's just that someone made him angry just now." King Zhennan smiled so lovingly, his eyes narrowed, and he took Xiao Yu's hand and sat down on the armchair by the window.

Little Xiao Yu patted the back of King Zhennan's hand comfortingly and said, "Grandpa, don't be angry. Brother Yu and his younger brother are here to say hello to grandfather."

As he spoke, Xiao Yu waved to the wet nurse with his other hand, gesturing for her to come over.

The wet nurse held the baby in her arms with some trepidation and bowed on her knees to salute the King of Zhennan: "I will bring the second young master to pay my respects to the prince."

Little Xiao Yu, who had just eaten, was playing with her milk bubbles in her infancy. When King Zhennan saw it, he felt that his little grandson was greeting him.

What a filial child! King Zhennan was extremely curious and sighed: "Brother Ye really looks like me!" Look at the eyes, nose, and mouth, they all seem to be carved from the same mold as his own.

The wet nurse holding the baby couldn't help but glance quickly at the rough face of King Zhennan, and there was something indescribable in her eyes.

As for Xiao Yu, he has long been used to hearing that his mother said that his younger brother is like his father, his aunt said that his younger brother is like his mother, the great-grandfather of the Fang family said that his younger brother is like his grandmother, his grandmother said that his younger brother is like his grandfather, and some people say that his younger brother looks like him. But in his opinion, his younger brother clearly looks like Xiao Ju!

The King of Zhennan looked at Xiao Ye for a while and was finally satisfied. He sighed in his heart: His little grandson is really the most beautiful and well-behaved child in the world. The blood of the old Xiao family is extraordinary!

After he ascends the throne, his two precious golden grandchildren will both be dragons and phoenixes!

Thinking about it, King Zhennan felt relieved all of a sudden, as if the two channels of Ren and Du had been opened, and his eyes became wider.

Yes, your efforts will be rewarded!

It doesn’t matter if Xiao Yi’s rebellious son doesn’t appreciate his kindness, and it doesn’t matter if he’s unreliable. His grandson will appreciate his kindness, and his golden grandson will definitely become wise and powerful under his careful upbringing!

For the sake of his two precious grandchildren, he must be strong and careful in every step, and keep the Xiao family's foundation well. When the grandchildren grow up, he must completely take over their territory of Vietnam. The country was entrusted to Jin Sun's hands.

Thinking about it, King Zhennan couldn't help but feel proud and excited. He felt that he had a heavy responsibility and a long way to go.

"Grandpa?"

Little Xiao Yu tilted his head and looked at King Zhennan doubtfully. He felt that his grandfather seemed a little weird. Should he hire a doctor for his grandfather?
