Chapter 1577 Marshal 883 (Two More in One)

Xiao Xiaoyu is a very busy child.

Every morning, after washing up and having breakfast, I would go to my foster father to read and play; in the afternoon, I would help my father to take care of my mother and younger brother; in the afternoon, I would often accompany my father to the study room for office; occasionally I would accompany my foster father to go out. .

On April 25th, Xiao Xiaoyu went out with his adoptive father early in the morning. 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 teachers in private schools and academies. After more than a month of preparation, the trial has finally begun.

They plan to test it in five nearby cities, including Luoyue City and Heyu City, and the first test will be located at Wanmu Academy in Luoyue City.

The written test was held yesterday, April 24th. Guan Yubai read the test papers sent by Wanmu Academy overnight. Today, he specially brought Xiao Yu to Wanmu Academy because he wanted 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 most extensive and largest academy. The students studying in it are basically children of wealthy or noble families. .

For this exam, Wanmu Academy deliberately suspended for three days. Today's academy is empty, and there are no students walking around. It is also quiet, and the sound of the students reading aloud can not be heard.

The people of Wanmu Academy had already received the news and knew that Guan Yubai was coming to the academy today, and Yu Shanchang and several gentlemen from the academy came to greet them at the gate in person, but they did not expect Guan Yubai to bring a beautiful boy with him. come.

The fact that Guan Yubai is the adopted father of the descendant has long been spread in Luoyue City, Yu Shanchang and others secretly exchanged glances, all bowed respectfully and said: "I have seen the marshal, the descendant."

"Mr. Shan, and gentlemen, thank you very much." Guan Yubai smiled slightly, and under the soft light of the rising sun, he appeared to be a jasmine tree. He dressed as a Confucian scholar as usual.

Guan Yubai is now the military marshal of the Southern Border, and his status is only lower than that of King Zhennan and his son. However, not many people have seen him in the Southern Border, and only those generals in the Southern Border Army and those who have ever met him. Children of noble families who have attended the banquet in the palace or Bixiaotang have the opportunity to see his true face of Mount Lu.

Everyone was secretly surprised when they saw that he described him as so gentle and handsome.

"Marshal, please, the gentlemen of the academies are already waiting in the Tianxi Hall." Yu Shanchang stretched out his hand to make the request without being humble or arrogant. Although he was in his sixtieth year, he was still in high spirits, with a pair of bright eyes that remained calm. Looking at Guan Yubai.

Regarding this exam, the House of Commons had vaguely heard the news as early as half a month ago. It was originally thought that it was just like selecting talents in the imperial examination for the survival of the fittest, and to weed out some mediocre talents who misunderstood their children. The teachers of the Wanmu Academy have their own strengths, and their talents are far superior to those of ordinary academies. Therefore, Yu Shanchang was not worried about this exam.

But after reading the exam paper yesterday, Yu Shanchang realized that he was wrong. The purpose of the prince and the marshal in arranging this exam is probably more far-reaching than he expected.

The crowd crowded Guan Yubai and Xiao Xiao Yu towards the direction of the Tianxi Hall.

This is the first time for Xiao Xiaoyu to come to Wanmu Academy. As he walks, he looks around with interest and asks curiously from time to time. He has short legs, so he walks more slowly. Slow down to match his pace.

Walking slowly through a few verandas, through a few courtyards, and around a pond, the Tianxi Hall appeared in front. The fans on all sides of the hall are wide open, and at a glance, you can see that the gentlemen in various colors are already sitting in the hall, as if whispering.

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

There were nearly a hundred people sitting in the hall, densely packed, and everyone's eyes were different. Looking at Guan Yubai, there were scrutiny, inquiry, doubt, and disapproval...

Guan Yubai led Xiao Xiao Yu and walked forward calmly and calmly, with a calm expression on his face. He was a military general who galloped on the battlefield and fought bloody battles among tens of thousands of people. How could he care about a few literati in the area? sight.

In the front of the hall, there is a big red lacquer wood carving case, but after the big case, only a Taishi chair was prepared for the official language. The people in the academy did not expect the descendants to come, so they hurried and temporarily moved a rose. Come over the chair.

Guan Yubai and Xiao Xiaoyu sat down separately, and the hall was silent for a moment.

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

Xiao Xiaoyu has seen more magnificent scenes in the military camp, and the corners of his mouth are curved from beginning to end, without showing any timidity. However, he was keenly aware that the people in this room seemed different from the tall, strong and loud-sounding soldiers in the barracks.

The little guy opened his black and clear eyes and looked at the thin and thin literati with great interest.

Guan Yubai looked around at everyone, and said unhurriedly: "Everyone here is a learned person. I have been puzzled recently. Today, I invite everyone to come and help me solve my doubts."

The surroundings were quiet again. The people present were not stupid. They knew the official language. Even if there is a problem, you can negotiate with the advisors. Where is the need to ask them? Teach them to be true.

Guan Yubai paused for a while, then asked, "What do you think, gentlemen, are monarchs and ministers?"

This question surprised everyone, but then I felt that my guess was really good.

Following that, I heard Guan Yubai directly call him by name: "I wonder if Mr. Ji Ze can solve the puzzle for this commander?"

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

There was a middle-aged literati with a goat beard sitting there, and I saw him stand up slowly and bowed and replied, "Returning to the marshal, the monarch, the head of a country; the minister, the one who serves the monarch."

Ji Ze answered very succinctly, obviously not intending to be brilliant, just trying not to make mistakes.

Guan Yubai then asked: "So, what is a Mingjun, what is a good minister, and are there many good ministers on the side of Mingjun?"

Hearing this, there were already a few people in the hall with thoughtful expressions, as if they had realized the subtle connection between yesterday's exam paper and today's Guan Yubai's question, and even vaguely guessed the next question.

Ji Ze replied without realizing it: "Mingjun is the ruler who strives to govern and rejuvenate the family and country; a good minister is one who is loyal to the monarch and serves the country and the people. A good minister chooses Mingjun to serve." Ji Ze's half-drooping eyes flickered. A touch of disdain and resentment.

"So, what is the way of loyalty to the king?" Guan Yubai asked his third question.

I see! Yu Shanchang, who was on the side, secretly thought in his heart, and suddenly realized that he had thought too much before, so this was the real purpose of yesterday's exam.

Yesterday's exam paper had a total of twenty questions, and it was not about "monarchs and ministers", but "teachers and students".

The first question: what is a teacher, what is a life.

The second question: whether strict teachers produce high-level apprentices.

The third question: what is the way of respecting teachers.

...

Yu Shanchang sighed in his heart, and the questions of Guan Yubai were really wonderful.

Since the previous dynasties, the monarchs believed in Legalism, advocated respecting the monarch and subordinates to the ministers, and believed that the authoritarian imperial power was the right way for the monarch. The Master said: "The ruler entrusts his ministers with propriety, and the ministers serve the ruler with loyalty." Many years ago, the ruler and his ministers used teachers and friends.

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

Suddenly, another blue-robed youth in his twenties suddenly stood up, just bumped into the seat behind him, making a harsh "crack" sound. The young man did not bow, and directly spoke to the official language in a provocative tone: "If you want to discuss the 'the way of loyalty to the king', you must know the salary of the king, and the matter of loyalty to the king!"

The blue-robed young man looked at Guan Yubai with a mocking expression. The Zhennan Palace was rebellious. This Guan Yubai was just a running dog of the Xiao family, and he dared to talk about the way of loyalty to the emperor. It was ridiculous!

Guan Yubai smiled slightly, shook his head and said, "Wrong, if we want to talk about 'the way of being loyal to the king', let's talk about the 'way of being a king' first." Guan Yubai spoke slowly, citing scriptures and dictionaries, word by word, "The way of the king is to be loyal to the people and to believe in God. Think of benefiting the people, and be loyal; Zhu Shizheng's speech is to believe. 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 loudly again: "Of course, those who are ministers would rather be good ministers than loyal ministers. What do you think?"

After the words were finished, the hall became quiet, and the blue-robed youth was dumbfounded for a while, his face flushed with anger, he only felt that Guan Yubai was really cheeky, and he was clearly calling himself a "good minister".

"Clap clap clap!"

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 awesome! Xiao Xiaoyu looked at Guan Yubai with bright eyes, his cheeks flushed with excitement.

In fact, Xiao Xiaoyu couldn't understand what his adoptive father said at all, but as long as what his adoptive father said, it was naturally correct.

Soon, another loud applause came in.

I saw a cyan figure standing in the last row. It was a thin man in his forties. With a smile at the corner of his mouth, he clapped his hands three times.

As a result, everyone's eyes shifted from Xiao Xiao Yu to him again. The thin man with clear eyebrows said calmly to Guan Yu Bai Zuo: "The marshal is right."

After a pause, he continued: "A good minister is like Houji, with a beautiful body and a beautiful name, the ruler's capital shows his name, and his descendants pass it on without boundaries; a loyal minister is like Bigan, but his own children are punished, and the ruler falls into the wrong and evil, and loses the country. Yi family, only take empty names. It is better to be a good minister, not a loyal minister."

What he means is that a good minister will make the ruler and minister complement each other, but a loyal minister, such as Bigan, is executed by a tyrant, destroying his nine clans, and then the country perishes, that is, the name of a loyal minister is empty.

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

He raised his eyebrows slightly and asked, "Dare to ask Mr. Gao's name!"

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

Guan Yu Bai was about to speak again, but out of the corner of his eyes, he saw Xiao Xiao Yu beside him beckoning to the man who claimed to be Ji Ming, "You, come here."

Ji Ming was stunned, then strode forward, walked to the big red lacquer wood carving case, and asked the little boy for instructions, "I wonder if the descendants have any advice?"

Xiao Xiaoyu showed a kind smile at him, took out a golden cat from his purse and handed it out, imitating his father's tone and said, "You will be rewarded."

Of course, Xiao Xiaoyu couldn't understand what Ji Ming said just now, but since the other party applauded for his adoptive father, he was a smart person.

Ji Ming glanced at Guan Yubai's face, accepted it, and said with a bow, "Thank you for your descendants."

Upon seeing this, the corner of Guan Yubai's mouth evoked a faint smile, and said, "Jiming, you come to Zhennan Wangfu tomorrow."

Ji Ming couldn't help but stare, and hurriedly responded: "Yes, Marshal." His tone was slightly raised 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 emerges in their hearts: Ten years of cold window no one asked, and he became famous all over the world in one fell swoop.

Ji Ming has won the appreciation of Guan Yubai today, and he will definitely have a bright future in the future. From now on, he will soar!

There are a few people in this scholar who don’t want to be with the emperor’s family. Many people’s eyes become a little complicated, regret, regret, envy, all of them. Hey, I should have seized the opportunity just now to let Guan Yubai see their talents. Yes!

No, they still have a chance!

Some people with active minds immediately wanted to understand something. On the one hand, Guan Yubai specially came to Wanmu Academy today to further evaluate these teachers who have received their preaching and careers, and remove some of the "dross" mixed in them. On the other hand, it is clearly also for the palace Selecting the virtuous, in order to let the scholars in southern Xinjiang know that the Zhennan palace is eager for talents.

Yes, the southern border is about to establish a country. Once the Yue Kingdom is established, it will not only require a large number of civil servants to assist the monarch in governing the country!

Thinking about it, many people's hearts are warmed up, their blood is boiling, and they only feel that their ambitions will finally have a chance to be realized. All of them send Guan Yubai and Xiao Xiaoyu away with glowing eyes, and their hearts are filled with anticipation. hope……

"Susu..."

The warm wind in early summer blew the branches and leaves, and it also made everyone's mood rippling.

After leaving Wanmu Academy, Guan Yubai took Xiao Yu directly back to Zhennan Wangfu. At this time, just at noon, the scorching sun hung high above the blue sky, casting wisps of scorching rays of light.

Xiao Xiaoyu happily ran back to Bixiaotang against the sun, and after a while, a thin layer of sweat had overflowed from his forehead and neck.

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

The excited little guy was restless, dancing in the warm tub, splashing the water on the ground.

As soon as the nurse waited for him to put on his apron and middle clothes, he excitedly ran to Nangong Yue, and eagerly recounted what he saw and heard in Wanmu Academy today, while talking, playing tricks and talking. When it comes to flowers and trees, he speaks clearly, and when it comes to people talking about rulers and ministers, he is vague, especially emphasizing that he applauded his adoptive father and rewarded the golden cat and the son.

The little guy was so excited that Nangong Yue couldn't bear to attack his enthusiasm.

After Xiao Xiao Yu finished speaking, Xiao Xiao Ye also woke up. He seemed to know that his brother was back. He turned his eyes in the direction of Xiao Xiao Yu and made an affectionate sound of "Yah", as if to say hello to Xiao Xiao Yu.

"Brother is awake!" Xiao Xiaoyu rushed over when he heard the sound, grabbed the rattle beside him, and swayed it skillfully to tease his younger brother.

Little Xiao Ye stared curiously at the rattling drum, his big black and white eyes flexibly rolled.

Xiao Xiaoyu thought it was very interesting and couldn't help but say, "Mother, my brother is like a little orange!"

The same is true of Xiaoju. If he is tossing it around with a dog's tail grass, Xiaoju will keep staring at it, and then suddenly fly over...

Hearing this, Haitang, who was serving by the side, almost didn't laugh out loud. This person surnamed Xiao really had clear eyes.

Even Nangong Yue couldn't help laughing, she really didn't know how to respond to this sentence.

At this moment, Xiao Xiao Yu suddenly felt his wrist tighten, and when he looked down, he realized that Xiao Xiao Ye stretched out a small 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 brother really looks like a little orange!

Xiao Xiaoyu looked at his younger brother carefully, 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 gently hooked twice on his younger brother's fleshy chin just like Xiaoju's chin on weekdays.

The little baby felt itchy and laughed out loud.

His laughter was so contagious that his little brother also laughed, and Nangong Yue and the maids also covered their mouths and chuckled.

There was laughter from everyone inside and outside the house.

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

Guanyu struck while the iron was hot and continued to promote this model. The same exams were also arranged in other towns in southern Xinjiang, and all the examination papers were collected in Luoyue City for review. Within a few days, this matter became the most popular among literati students in southern Xinjiang. Topics of interest...

However, for Nangong Yue, these things are just the autumn wind. Her attention is mostly focused on Xiao Ye. After the full moon, the little guy has changed more and more, with richer expressions, and the time he is awake. When it gets longer, he will raise his head, and the strength of the little meat's feet kicking the quilt gradually increases, and the little meat claw holding the fist will send it to his own mouth without noticing...

She had experienced these changes once in Xiao Xiaoyu, but she still admired the magic of life from the bottom of her heart. Xiao Xiaoyu was also amazed when she watched her brother grow up a little bit.

Time flies, and the blink of an eye is fleeting. It seems that Xiao Ye has been in the blink of an eye for two months. It also means that Nangong Yue can finally give birth to a twin moon. The whole person is relieved. Just like last time, he washed three buckets of water in the clean room. After staying for a long time, he was willing to come out.

At first, Xiao Yi planned to hold a double full moon banquet for Xiao Xiao Ye, just like Xiao Xiao Yu did at the time, but seeing that Nangong Yue was so hard on confinement, she simply said that it would be better to postpone the 100-day wine.

Luo Yuecheng has been waiting patiently since late April. Seeing that Bixiaotang has no intention of hosting a full moon wine, he guessed that the prince should be planning to hold a double full moon banquet again. On the day, there was still no news, so he began to take the initiative to send gifts to Bixiao Hall to be courteous.

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

Those congratulatory gifts are basically always welcome, but for the invitations, Nangong Yue only met two or three families to comfort people.

Early this morning, Queer gave Nangongyue a stack of lists. This was the information of the girls’ families in the southern border provinces. It was Nangongyue who had nothing to do while confinement, and ordered Queer to look for it.

The purpose is naturally for Yuan Lingbai's marriage.

After Yuan Lingbai failed to seek help from Xiao Yi, Xiao Xiaoyu told his mother about it, and a few days later, Nangong Yue received a letter from Yuncheng again.

Over the years, Yun Cheng has been worried about his second son's marriage. He feels that it is not safe for the second son to take charge of this matter, so he specially wrote this letter to Nangong Yue, asking her to help pay attention to the girls in Nanjiang. In the letter, Yun Cheng groaned and sighed, emphasizing that she didn't ask for anything else, as long as the second daughter-in-law was an innocent woman. Seeing that Nangong Yue couldn't help laughing, she asked Que'er for this job.

Que’er liked this kind of errand the most, and she even joked with Thrush and Ying’er that the princess is going to learn from Yuncheng to be a matchmaker in Luoyue City!

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.

Knowing from Thrushi that Nangong Yue was in the small study, Yuan Yuyi picked the curtain and went in by herself. As soon as she entered the door, she saw the small bed by the window, on which Xiao Ye was sleeping soundly. Zhengxiang.

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

After a while, Yuan Yuyi looked up at Nangong Yue, who was sitting by the window, her jet-black eyes were shining like obsidian, and she sighed, "Yue'er, Brother Ye is so good and cute!"

After staring at Xiao Xiao Ye for a while, Yuan Yuyi just remembered the business, her eyes fell on the pieces of silk paper in Nangong Yue's hands, and she walked over to sit down beside her.

"Sister Yi, take a look." Nangong Yue directly gave Yuan Yuyi the stack of lists in her hand.

Yuan Yuyi took it unceremoniously, 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, whether the county owner Liushuang really cared about her second brother's marriage, or was just joining in the fun.

After a while, Yuan Yuyi turned over the first list, and then her eyes stopped, and she saw a familiar name in the second list.

She raised her eyebrows slightly, turned her head and said to Nangong Yue, "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 been very close to Ms. Hua, and she also has a good understanding of Ms. Hua's talent and temperament.

She likes Miss Hua, but...

Yuan Yuyi's little face wrinkled, and she said again in distress: "It's just, it's a pity to match my second brother."

Queer tried to hold back her smile 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 choked, and could only say implicitly, "Abo is fine."

"My second brother, I don't know yet?" Yuan Yuyi sighed faintly, thinking: Second brother, why can't you grow up, like Guan Yubai...

Thinking about it, Yuan Yuyi's eyes were bright 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?" Among them, Miss Hua.

Nangong Yue was stunned. She had also heard about those girls throwing flowers for Guan Yu near the city gate. She smiled and said, "That is, it's hard work, little four to pick up flowers!"

Yuan Yuyi witnessed the spectacle of falling flowers and rain on the street with her own eyes, and her smile grew even stronger. "In March, Guan Yubai re-composed the first paragraph of "Butterfly Sleepwalking" in Fengyun Teahouse..."

Nangong Yue nodded. Xiao Yi and Xiao Xiao Yu were also present at the time. Both father and son had told her. Of course, for Xiao Xiao Yu, it was just that the adoptive father played a very nice tune that day.

"The incident spread in the city later, and I don't know how, it became known that Guan Yubai likes women who can play the piano. Later, the girls in the city went to buy the piano, buy the sheet music, and have the courage. The older girl deliberately played the qin near the city gate, and expressed her heart with the sound of the qin... It's cheaper for those shops that sell qin, and I heard that even other musical instruments have gone up as a result."

Yuan Yuyi said, covering her mouth and chuckling.

"There are also some girls who are good at painting, knowing that Guan Yu has a white eagle, so they went to draw a lot of pictures of white eagles, and specially invited people to set up stalls near the city gate to sell paintings..."

Yuan Yuyi kept talking about some interesting anecdotes, some things even Queer had never heard of, so she couldn't help but pricked up her ears, thinking in her heart that she would have the opportunity to communicate more with the county magistrate of Liushuang.

Yuan Yuyi said later, her face was sad again. The more she talked, the more she felt that Guan Yubai was too good, and there was nothing wrong with it. Compared to her second brother, it was a world of difference.

It's no wonder that the second brother has never been able to get a daughter-in-law, hey, her sister has to worry about him more! Yuan Yuyi thought worriedly.

Nangong Yue also thinks that Miss Hua is good, but the marriage is about your love and my wishes, and it is hard to say whether it will be successful. Anyway, Yuan Lingbai is a man, 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," Nangongyue changed her words with a smile, "When you set a date for your departure to the capital, I will practice it for you together with Sister Xia and Sister Xi!" A hint of teasing, "Although we can't go to Wangdu 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 marriage. She had already discussed with Yuncheng the wedding date of Yu Xiufan and Yuan Yuyi. In the seventh month after the founding of the country, Yuan Yuyi had to rush back to the capital to prepare for marriage.

Speaking of her marriage, Yuan Yuyi's little face was stained with a shy red glow, and her heart was mixed with various emotions, including the reluctance to leave the southern border, the expectation of seeing her mother again, and the impending marriage. Anxiety and joy...

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

"Don't worry." Nangong Yue looked at Yuan Yuyi with a smile on her face, and her cheeks turned even redder. She was thinking about changing the subject, but a cute little milky voice just happened to save her from embarrassment.

"Mother! Brother!"

Xiao Xiao Yu, who had just finished class, came back in a hurry, and the attention of the two suddenly shifted to the little guy, talking and laughing endlessly.

Bixiao Hall is like a paradise, carefree, in contrast, the atmosphere in Luo Yue City and even the entire southern border is getting more and more tense.

The time for the establishment of the country is getting closer and closer, and everything is being prepared nervously. In the palace of Zhennan, the soldiers who came to see the king of Zhennan came one after another, and the palace was like a city.

These soldiers are basically the confidants of King Zhennan. Most of them come to report to King Zhennan about the various preparations for the establishment of the country. Those tedious things really make King Zhennan's head too big, and they want to close the door and thank guests.

In the evening of this day, King Zhennan, who had been busy all day, finally sent Tang Qinghong away. After less than an incense stick of incense, Chang Sui came and said, "My lord, General You is asking to see you."

In fact, King Zhennan doesn't want to see anyone, but this general You has followed him for more than 20 years. He has been guarding the eastern border of the southern border for seven or eight years, and he usually returns to Luoyue City once or twice a year to report his work. At this time, General You will appear in Luoyue City because of the imminent establishment of a country.

King Zhennan hesitated for a moment, but let Changsui bring people in.

That General You was about the same age as King Zhennan. Heiqi had a beard on his face, and his heavy armor made a colliding sound when he walked.

"I will see the prince at the end!" He solemnly knelt down on one knee to 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 first name.

After thanking Queen Zhennan, You Cunhuan stood up, expressed his admiration for King Zhennan impassively, and then recalled the old feelings of the past, which made King Zhennan very emotional.

You Cunhuan carefully observed his words and expressions, and when he saw that King Zhennan showed his closeness to him, he said meaningfully: "The prince will soon be the king of a country, and some things should be prepared early."

"Prepare?" King Zhennan looked at You Cunhuan in confusion, "Every matter has been prepared by a special person, what else does this king have to prepare?"

"Your Highness," You Cunhuan hurriedly reminded, "Most of the military power in the army is now in the hands of the prince. It is really inappropriate for a weak father to be strong!"

As soon as he heard the military power, King Zhennan frowned slightly and rubbed the center of his eyebrows.

Seeing that King Zhennan was silent, You Cunhuan urged him while the iron was hot, "Why didn't you release the military power with a glass of wine?"

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

Over the past few days, King Zhennan has been frightened every day. The closer the date of the founding of the country approached, the more frightened he became, worried that Dayu's side would suddenly send a large army to fight.

At this time, if he takes back the military power, if a large army of one million arrives, doesn't that mean that he will "go on a personal expedition"? !

On the battlefield, swords have no eyes, and no one is absolutely safe. Have you seen how many emperors in history died on the "Royal Expedition"? !

If he accidentally dies in battle, what will his little grandsons do? ! Maybe this foundation will be defeated by Xiao Yi's son-in-law!

Thinking about it, King Zhennan's whole face turned black, but he felt that You Cunhuan had been at the border for a long time, and his mind was dull, so he had no eyesight!

"Snapped!"

King Zhennan slammed his palm on the bookcase, and asked righteously, "This king is about to ascend the throne. What is your intention at this time to instigate our father and son?!"

King Zhennan's voice was so cold that it almost fell out of ice slag, which made You Cunhuan's heart skip a beat. He knelt on the ground with a subconscious thud, and blurted out, "My lord, I won't dare."

You Cunhuan bowed his head slightly, wondering in his heart: Didn't Wang Ye always dislike Shi Ziye? Shouldn't it be in line with the prince's will to regain the military power in the hands of the prince? Why does the lord seem to have changed a person? !

Or maybe the prince thinks that there should be no more troubles before ascending the throne, should he wait until after he ascends the throne, and then slowly plan it?

The more King Zhennan looked at You Cunhuan, the more annoyed he became, he waved his hand and said, "If you're fine, you can go back."

You Cunhuan was really at a loss, and he didn't dare to say anything more, so he withdrew. He pondered that he should find out about his old friends in Luo Yue City first and then make amends.

After You Cunhuan left, King Zhennan was left in the outer study. He let out a long sigh, feeling that Yingming Shenwu was so lonely, talking to some unreasonable fools would really take a few years to live!

He only sighed halfway, and there was another sound of picking the curtain, accompanied by the voice of Kikyo: "Your Highness..."

"Go out, this king needs to be quiet!" King Zhennan said impatiently.

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a familiar voice from the other side of the curtain: "Grandfather is tired? ... Then my brother and I will go home."

King Zhennan froze instantly, how could it be his two precious little grandsons? !

King Zhennan hurriedly stood up and went over to greet his grandson in person. His tone became soft and kind: "It's Brother Yu and Brother Ye! Come in."

Xiao Xiaoyu was the first to walk in, followed by a nurse who was holding a big red swaddle.

"Grandfather," Xiao Xiaoyu looked up at King Zhennan with a worried look, and asked with concern, "Are you tired? Are you uncomfortable?"

When King Zhennan heard the words, he only felt that he was very appropriate. Where can such a filial and considerate little grandson go to find him! Really bless the ancestors!

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

Xiao Xiaoyu patted the back of King Zhennan's hand soothingly and said, "Don't be angry, grandfather, brother Yu and brother came to greet grandfather."

With that said, Xiao Xiao Yu's other hand gestured towards the wet nurse, signaling her to come over.

The wet nurse tremblingly hugged the baby and bowed her knees to salute the king of Zhennan: "The slave servant brings the second young master to greet the king."

Xiao Xiao Yu, who had just eaten his fill, was playing with milk bubbles attentively in his swaddling clothes. When King Zhennan saw it, he only felt that Xiao Sunsun was greeting him.

Such a filial child! King Zhennan was extremely rare in his heart, and sighed, "Brother Ye really looks like this king!" Look at these eyes, this nose, and this mouth, they are all carved out of the same mold as himself.

The wet nurse holding the baby couldn't help but glanced quickly at King Zhennan's rough face, and there was an indescribable taste in her eyes.

Thinking about it, King Zhennan only felt that his whole body was relieved all of a sudden, as if the two veins of Ren and Du were opened up, and his eyes became wider.

Thinking about it, King Zhennan couldn't help feeling proud and his blood boiled. He only felt that he had a heavy responsibility and a long way to go.

Xiao Xiaoyu tilted his head and looked at King Zhennan suspiciously, thinking that his grandfather seemed a little weird, should he hire a doctor for his grandfather?
