Also, the author of Yulip intends to fix the update time, how about nine o'clock every night?

A few months ago, General Chu, who was still in Yuqingguan, received an imperial edict from the imperial capital, summoning him to return to Beijing immediately.After receiving the order, Chu He fell silent, while Chu Lingtian, who was standing aside, strengthened his thoughts even more.

For a long time, this Yuqing pass was garrisoned by the Chu family army headed by his father, General Chu He Chu.It's just that the young emperor didn't trust the Chu family.Since two years ago, the emperor has successively assigned two supervisors to Yuqing Pass, and now he has directly issued an order to call Chu He back to Beijing, clearly to divide the military power of the Chu family.The Chu family's army swallowed their anger, and did not have many demands on the supervising army, who were obviously two show-offs, and even respected them three points in the barracks on weekdays.However, this obviously cannot dispel the doubts of the emperor who is far away in the capital.

This time, returning to Beijing to face the saint, I am afraid that he just took the opportunity to trap his father in the capital.

Thinking of this, Chu Lingtian was even more worried about his father's return to Beijing this time.

"Father, this imperial edict clearly shows that the emperor doesn't believe you and wants to trap you in the capital." Seeing that Chu He was silent, Chu Lingtian thought about it, and finally made up his mind and said, "Father, the emperor has treated you in the past two years. You have also seen the suppression of our Chu family's army. I am worried that if you continue to submit to it like this, the emperor will cut your military power. At that time, I am afraid that the Chu family will lose its protection. Father, why don't we just...reverse?"

When Chu He heard this, he slapped Chu Lingtian angrily, and even Chu Yunchen, who was standing aside, was startled by the loud voice.

"Nizi! Do you know what you're talking about?" Chu He was so angry that his eyes burst open, "Is this what a courtier should say!"

Chu Lingtian did not flinch, and said righteously: "Four years ago, when the current Majesty took over the throne, the people of Yu Kingdom were in dire straits. In the past four years, the exorbitant taxes have been increasing every year, and the peasants are miserable. And he , but also to recruit troops everywhere, and our Yuguo soldiers fought everywhere, leaving the treasury empty. May I ask, how can such an emperor care about the people? How can such an emperor be worthy of his courtiers to follow him? How can such an emperor be worthy of sitting on the world ?”

"Brother, calm down."

Seeing that the elder brother became more and more excited as he talked, and the father on the other side was already trembling with anger, Chu Yunchen hurriedly stood between the two to separate them.Although he knew in his heart that what his elder brother said was the truth, he also understood that his father was stubborn by nature, so how could he easily give up such a king.

"In the whole world, no one can make mistakes. The Holy Majesty is still young, so it is inevitable that he will be impulsive. A courtier should stand up and make corrections instead of thinking about rebellion."

Chu He's voice was not as confident as before, and he was actually hurt by the emperor's distrust of the Chu family.

"But father..."

"Okay, don't let me hear such rebellious words in the future, go out."

Chu Lingtian still wanted to say something, but Chu He interrupted him first, and Chu Yunchen who was beside him also stopped him, motioning him to leave the study first.

"Brother, if you give father a little more time, he must have felt it too."

Back in his own room, Chu Yunchen said this to his elder brother. He had just seen his father's tone softened at the end, and he knew in his heart that his father just didn't want to believe that the Chu family had been guarded by the emperor.

Chu Lingtian took a deep breath, calmed down, and said to his younger brother: "Second brother, the situation is unclear now, and I'm afraid that Father will be made things difficult by the Holy One when he returns this time, so..."

"Brother, you don't need to say much, just go, I'm here at Yuqingguan."

When Chu Yunchen heard his elder brother speak like this, he knew that he wanted to go back to Beijing with his father, so he naturally agreed.Although his military position is only a school lieutenant, as long as he stands here as a member of the Chu family, he will be the reassurance of the Chu family's army, and the army's morale will not be shaken.

"It really is my second brother."

With Chu Yunchen's answer, Chu Lingtian finally had no worries, and soon followed his father back to the capital.

"Chu Aiqing, I heard that Mrs. Chu's birthday will be in two months."

"Reporting to Your Majesty, it is indeed my mother's 60th birthday."

"Madam's 60th birthday can't be sloppy. I specially called you back just to let you prepare well."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern. You must prepare carefully."

Since the emperor ordered him to hold a big birthday banquet, Chu He naturally had to obey, but Chu Lingtian who stood aside had his own ideas.Although the emperor said that he wanted his father to hold a beautiful birthday banquet, he didn't continue talking.This is obviously another test for their Chu family. It is not acceptable if the scale is too large to exceed etiquette, too many guests are not acceptable, too small or too few, it seems that they do not pay attention to the emperor's oral instructions.

That night, the servants of Chu's mansion saw that their master and young master hadn't stepped out of the study room since returning to the mansion until the next morning.

Since that day, the entire Chu family has been busy with Mrs. Chu's [-]th birthday, and the news has been spread in the streets and alleys in the capital.

After Chu Lingtian learned of the emperor's intention to call them back, he knew that sooner or later his second brother would be called back as well.Sure enough, within half a month, the emperor issued another official document, and kindly said that he could send them a letter from home.He didn't say much, but simply wrote a few words in the letter:

Grandma's birthday banquet, return soon

Brother Ling Tian

Chu Yunchen, who had received official documents and family letters at the same time, knew that he must return to Beijing this time.But he still stayed for a few days after receiving the letter from home, so even he himself didn't know what happened.On the day of departure, he rode his horse and galloped in order to return to the capital as soon as possible, but when he heard the sound of horseshoes behind him, he subconsciously looked back.

Even in the woods, he slowed down just to make the man sleep more comfortably.

In this way, he still traveled nearly [-] days for a distance that could have been reached within [-] days with his Jiuyun Horse.

As soon as I entered the house, I saw servants busy everywhere.I am busy pruning plants here, and I am busy putting up lights and decorations there.Butler Zhang was the first to see Chu Yunchen return.

"Second Young Master, you are back." Steward Zhang wiped off his sweat and said to Chu Yunchen with a smile. At this moment, he noticed the man following Chu Yunchen, and immediately asked, "Second Young Master, who is this?"

"He Wenyuan, I met Yunchen at Yuqingguan."

"So it's Mr. He, please."

"Uncle Zhang, where are father and elder brother?"

"Master and Eldest Young Master have gone out, Second Young Master might as well visit the old lady first."

Seeing that his father and elder brother were not in the mansion, Chu Yunchen followed Steward Zhang's suggestion and went to visit the old lady first, while He Wenyuan was arranged by Steward Zhang to a guest room.As soon as the door was closed, the little snake spirit, who had been suffocating all the way in his sleeve, jumped out impatiently, and transformed into a human form as soon as he landed.

"It's suffocating, it's finally here, it's so beautiful here."

Sure enough, it was the General's Mansion, an ordinary guest room was furnished in a simple and elegant way.Yuan'er has been staying in the abandoned house in Yuqing County since she took shape. She has never seen such a clean house, and she happily wanders around in the house.He Wenyuan ignored her, sat down and poured himself a cup of tea.

He never thought that he fell asleep in Chu Yunchen's arms, and what was even more embarrassing was that he fell asleep all the way without waking up.Thanks to the sleep on the way, all the fatigue accumulated in those days was eliminated.Fortunately, the most frequent time of soul replacement has been passed, and he will be able to relax for a while, and just have time to think of a way, how to ensure that the ghost energy can suppress the immortal energy when he is not around Chu Yunchen.

On the other side, Chu Yunchen also saw the old lady whom he hadn't seen for a long time.

"Grandson Yunchen has met grandma."

"Get up, come over here and show grandma."

The old lady sitting at the top was very happy to see her grandson whom she had not seen for several years, she hastily called the servants to prepare refreshments, and even pulled the servants to her side to have a good look, smiling from ear to ear.At this moment, another boy who was about the same age as Chu Yunchen walked in, greeted the old lady and said, "Grandson Chu Yang has met grandma and second brother."

"Third brother."

The person who came was the third son of the Chu family, Chu Yang, who gave birth to red lips and white teeth, with a gentle expression, delicate and smooth skin, fair and translucent, exactly the same appearance as the stepwife Chu Wu's, and a rare beauty embryo.If it weren't for the calluses at the tiger's mouth, people would really be mistaken for a literati and elegant son from somewhere.

"Yang'er finally knows to come and see my old lady." Seeing that Chu Yang came and didn't show a good face, the old lady said coolly while sitting on the upper seat, still holding the second grandson's hand in her hand.

"Grandma, please forgive me. There were many things in the house a few days ago, which delayed the time to greet grandma." Chu Yang seemed to be used to hearing the old lady's cynicism, and continued with his expression unchanged, "Grandma, Sun I still have some things to do, please forgive my grandson to leave first."

Chu Yunchen at the side also quietly withdrew his hand, and said, "Grandma, grandson also needs to wash up first."

When the old lady heard that Chu Yunchen was going to leave, she couldn't bear it, so she asked the old mother beside her to pack a lot of things for him.Chu Yang was watching from the side. If the second brother hadn't asked him to wait, he would have left by now.

On the way out, Chu Yunchen was still empty-handed. There was no other reason, but there were too many things, and the old lady didn't want her grandson to work hard, so she sent someone to deliver them.

"Third brother, how is your stepmother doing recently?"

"Mother is fine, thank you for your concern."

"You don't need to worry about the matter of talent."

"My brother understands that there are still some things that need to be done for the birthday banquet, so I will take a step first."

Chu Yunchen was never a talkative person, and Chu Yang, who was only one year younger than him, seemed to have no intention of talking, and said goodbye when he reached a fork in the road.

Chu Yunchen looked at the back of the third brother going away and said nothing, and turned his head to leave.

In the early morning of the second day, Chu Yunchen wanted to visit He Wenyuan in the guest room, but was told that he had left Chu's residence early in the morning.Turning around, he happened to see Chu Lingtian leading the two horses, he smiled and took the reins from his eldest brother.After they left, Chu Yang, who was standing behind the beams and pillars, came out and walked towards the old lady's room.

And He Wenyuan, who was dragged up by the little flower snake early in the morning, was walking aimlessly on the streets of the capital, and not far ahead was the curious girl in red.
