My diary of transcendence from the heavens

Chapter 109 107. It is easy to conquer the world, but difficult to control it

Chang'an City.

This giant city lies on the earth, with the wind and sand rolling, letting time pass by, exuding an ancient and glorious atmosphere, and there are countless marks of knife and axe on the walls.

Zhao Xuanqi stood under the city wall, looked up at this majestic city, and couldn't help but sigh: "I'm finally back..."

The army was stationed outside the capital and in the military camps. The army could not enter the capital at will. Zhao Xuanqi entered the capital alone.

In order not to disturb the people, they entered the city quietly. There was no imaginary crowd of people to welcome him, nor was there the imaginary emperor who went out of the city thirty miles to greet him. Many people did not even know that he had returned.

Zhao Xuanqi entered the capital with a few close followers. First, the eunuch who had been waiting for a long time came to report that Emperor Qinglong had summoned him.

He did not meet Emperor Qinglong immediately.

Instead, he went straight home.

Beijing, the Zhao family's residence.

Zhao Xuanqi had time to go home for the first time in many years.

In the past two years, because they were deeply favored by the emperor, the Zhao family had already moved from Ziyun County to the capital and owned a large mansion in the capital.

He walked into the mansion and finally saw his wife Yuan Caiyun.

Yuan Caiyun is one year older than Zhao Xuanqi, and Yuan Caiyun is already thirty-six years old at this moment.

Women of this age have already passed their prime, and their faces are wrinkled, their skin is no longer supple and smooth, and they are beginning to look old.

In addition, her body is weak and she has always had a delicate constitution. She misses her husband all the time, stays alone in the empty house, and is worried about her husband who is far away, so she ages faster and looks older than ordinary women.

It was during this meeting that Zhao Xuanqi discovered that his wife had aged so quickly, and there were still silver strands on her hair, which made her look a little strange...

Only then did he realize that he had not been home for several years and had not seen his wife for several years.

Time is often cruel, and his impression of his wife is still at that beautiful and youthful age of eighteen. Only now that they meet her has shattered his fantasy, telling him that time waits for no one, and the beauty is old.

Before the expedition, the youngest son who had just been born was now over four years old and could run around...

In the room, Zhao Xuanqi held Yuan Caiyun's hand and said with some heartache: "I'm sorry...I'm sorry..."

For the sake of this chaotic world, he neglected his small family and left everything in the family to his wife. Zhao Xuanqi felt guilty.

However, Yuan Caiyun showed a bright smile, held the man's hand tightly, and her eyes sparkled: "Husband, don't blame yourself. A man should put the world first. Why do you miss the gentle hometown in your boudoir?"

She said understandingly: "The world is in chaos and national affairs are the top priority that a man should be concerned about. The love of the family takes a backseat. I can understand..."

Zhao Xuanqi kept shaking his head.

What kind of man?

A gentleman should take responsibility. What kind of man abandons his family and his children for important matters?

He always thought that he was not a man.

No matter what, Zhao Xuanqi was moved by such a sensible wife. Having such a wife was considered a blessing in marriage.

It was only through the blessings I gained in my previous life that I could meet such a beautiful wife.

In the room, the couple chatted a lot.

We chatted from the south of the world to the north of the earth for a long time.

Zhao Xuanqi came back to his senses and said: "Emperor Qinglong summoned me, and I have to go to the palace to meet His Majesty now."

Yuan Caiyun showed reluctance in his eyes, but still nodded: "Your Majesty comes first."

There was a look of hesitation and obvious worry on her face, and she reminded: "For some reason, the court has had some problems these days. Although I am the daughter of a family, I can also feel the court's attitude towards you. Not friendly..."

Zhao Xuanqi shook his head.

Finally, he spat out a few words: "At most, they are rebellious ministers and traitors. I have the force in hand and your Majesty's trust. They are just clowns. I can solve them with a wave of my hand."

The faces of Emperor Qinglong and Princess Xiaoyao appeared in his mind, and he believed in Princess Xiaoyao from beginning to end.

The problem was probably not caused by Princess Xiaoyao, but by those court officials.

After all, Zhao Xuanqi clearly understood one thing: if Princess Xiaoyao did not trust him, she would not have allowed herself to be sent to the south to recuperate, counter-insurgency and train soldiers, nor would she have allowed herself to bring one hundred thousand armored sergeants to the capital.

He was able to return home safely, and he was able to return to the capital with so many soldiers. The attitude of the emperor and Huang Aunt Xiaoyao was obvious, and it was obvious that they completely trusted him.

The problem is with the minister.

In this way, Zhao Xuanqi bid farewell to Yuan Caiyun, rode a carriage under the leadership of a eunuch, and finally entered the palace.

Qiming Hall.

Zhao Xuanqi met Emperor Qinglong and Princess Xiaoyao.

Emperor Qinglong was already eleven years old at this time, and he had a pleasant appearance. His eyes were still watery, and the tear moles at the corners of his eyes were more obvious, which made the little emperor extremely handsome.

Zhao Xuanqi felt from beginning to end that if Emperor Qinglong were a little girl, she would be so beautiful that the whole country would be captivated.

As for Princess Xiaoyao, she was now thirty-eight years old. She was wearing a skirt, jade ornaments, gold and silver, and was very well maintained.

She still looks young, just like a thirty-year-old woman, no less beautiful and elegant. She still looks the same as she did a few years ago, giving people a feeling that she has never aged.

As expected of a member of the royal family, he has unique experience in beauty care.

Of course, Princess Xiaoyao is in good health, has no serious illness or disaster, and has a good mentality. She is not sensitive and anxious about small things, so she looks younger than Yuan Caiyun.

Aunt Xiaoyao and the young emperor sat on a high chair and met Zhao Xuanqi. Zhao Xuanqi sat alone opposite them, facing the two of them, while the rest of the crowd retreated.

Princess Xiaoyao raised her head, stared at the man in front of her with her beautiful eyes, kissed her red lips, and asked with a special emotion: "Mr. Wu An will go home first. He must be in love with his beloved wife at home..."

Zhao Xuanqi was silent.

A woman's heart, a needle under the sea.

Shouldn't you be the first to ask me about national affairs?

Why did you care about my family in the first place?

He replied: "My wife and children are well, thanks to your care. Without your help, I am an orphan and a widowed mother, otherwise I will not be bullied by others."

In the eyes of outsiders, Xiaoyao Huanggu, who was lonely and cold and arrogant, now showed the attitude of a arrogant little girl, and said somewhat sourly: "I have been lonely these years. I have never found a lover or married, but I don't know what it feels like to have a happy family... …”

Facing the resentful look cast by the woman, Zhao Xuanqi chose to turn a blind eye and look around to talk about other things.

After a while, Princess Xiaoyao calmed down her emotions, and then returned to her normal state, and asked slowly: "Jun Wu An has been in the south for the past three years, how do you feel about the situation in the south?

Zhao Xuanqi replied: "In the past, I defeated the eight kings and put down the rebellion of the allied forces of the princes. I have pacified the south along the way, regained the lost territory, and took back all my homeland..."

"However, the South just returned under the coercion of force. There are still many chaos in various parts of the South. The people hate the imperial court and the people are confused. I have spent three years working hard to benefit the people. Only then can I completely To calm the people’s hearts.”
