One of the passers-by

As a relative of the emperor who started his career with military exploits in the Da Chu Dynasty, Xue Yan was influenced by his ears and eyes, so he would naturally dance to the song Qingwang Pozhenle.Not to mention the crown prince and King Wei, so on the day of the New Year's Eve banquet, Emperor Yong'an led a group of his sons and nephews to hold spears and shields in front of the hall. happy".

However, the dancers on the field, except for Emperor Yong'an, who has been fighting for many years and has a very harmonious movement cell, the rest of the dancers danced loosely and loosely, which was not as powerful as the soldiers who had really experienced the battle at last year's banquet. .

But what Emperor Yong'an wanted this time was not the awe-inspiring aura of the soldiers.There was another group of courtiers expressing His Majesty's wishes, constantly praising the harmony of the Tian family, all civil servants and generals saw the appearance of His Majesty and the Supreme Emperor smiling from ear to ear, and they understood it.

After drinking for three rounds, the Supreme Emperor held the wine bottle and suddenly shot at the left servant. Pei Ji smiled and said, "Pei San, according to what you see, how is my Xingqing Palace?"

Before the banquet on New Year's Eve, all the ministers and workers have arrived at Xingqing Palace, which was newly moved by the Supreme Emperor.Under the leadership of two generations of emperors, they traveled through forests and waters, read birds and flowers, and traveled more than half of the palace where the Supreme Emperor retired.Rao, all the ministers and workers had seen the extravagant scenes of the previous dynasty, but they still felt that the Xingqing Palace was still astonishing and shocking under the auspices of the Xue family's son.In particular, the back garden of Tongliao Dilong is always warm like spring despite the cold winter. The spring scenery with hundreds of flowers blooming, as well as the white jade glass pavilion in the garden and the man-made hot spring behind the palace are even more amazing.

Hearing the Supreme Emperor's question, Pei Ji immediately put down his chopsticks and replied with a smile: "Naturally, it's an ingenious workmanship. Not to mention the Tai Chi Palace is inferior, I'm afraid even the Efang Palace, which the literati tried their best to praise in history, is inferior. The Supreme Emperor It is a good fortune to enjoy the old age in Xingqing Palace, which shows that His Majesty is filial to the Supreme Emperor. Xue Shizi is also very attentive."

But when Pei Ji said this in his mouth, he didn't think so in his heart.Even though Taiji Palace is not as luxurious and comfortable as Xingqing Palace, it is the palace where the emperor lives.The meaning is of course different.What's more, Emperor Yong'an envoys tricks to coax the Supreme Emperor to move to another palace, and repair a palace that is hundreds of times and thousands of times more comfortable and grand than the Taiji Palace for the Supreme Emperor to retire from, which is also the meaning of the title.Otherwise, how would he stop the leisurely mouth of the people in the world.But Xue Shizi... At such a young age, his methods are very unusual!

Pei Ji gave Xue Yan a meaningful look.

Da Chu founded the country for more than ten years. Since Emperor Yong'an came to the throne, there were either frosts or droughts. In the eyes of those who are interested, this is naturally the reason why God did not approve of Emperor Yong'an killing his brothers and swearing over the throne, so he sent down punishment from heaven.

Therefore, since Emperor Yong'an came to the throne, he cared for the people and cut taxes, but there were still many people in the government and the opposition who secretly criticized him, thinking that Emperor Yong'an was not the destiny.In addition, after the Supreme Emperor abdicated to let the virtuous, he did not move to the Taiji Palace for a long time, and the line of senior ministers who showed virtue in the court naturally followed the Supreme Emperor's horse, so the emperor Yong'an became even more embarrassing.

There is no other reason, but because there are too many people in the court who want to see his jokes.

For example, this time Emperor Yong'an "induced" the Supreme Emperor to move to another palace, these senior ministers of virtue did not say anything on the surface, but they secretly rubbed and stumbling.Its behavior was specifically manifested when Emperor Yong'an wanted to use the treasury to repair the Xingqing Palace for the Supreme Emperor. These veterans either said that the Ministry of Households was short of money, or that the Ministry of War was short of food, so that Emperor Yong'an finally allocated less than 30 yuan for repairs. Palace.

In the eyes of all the veterans, Emperor Yong'an wanted to move the Supreme Emperor out of the Taiji Palace, so he used such a bad excuse.But not to mention the disadvantage of Taiji Palace's low-lying terrain, when the previous dynasty built the palace, more than a few million coins were used.

Now Emperor Yong'an only used a mere 30 guan to repair a palace that is a hundred times stronger than the Taiji Palace, which is simply a fantasy.Even if Emperor Yong'an used the heir of the Xue family, who was good at repairing, as the supervising master, it was hard for a clever woman to cook without rice.There is not enough money, no matter how rough Xue Yan's heart is, he can't do it.

Unexpectedly, after Xue Yan accepted the important task of repairing the Xingqing Palace, he really only used the hundreds of thousands of money to repair a comfortable palace that is exquisite, unique, and even shocking.This made those Xian De veterans who were secretly waiting to see the joke really hard to believe.

Hearing Pei Ji's praise, Xue Yan cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Pei Xiang is too well-known, and I just rely on His Majesty's full support. If His Majesty is not busy and always consults, the renovation project of Xingqing Palace will not be done. It was completed so quickly. It is because His Majesty is worried about the cold and humid winter in Chang'an, and he is afraid that the Emperor will be too old to support him."

Pei Ji smiled slightly, and said meaningfully: "Your Majesty is naturally very careful about this matter."

The Supreme Emperor suddenly said: "I am old now, and I have suffered from many unmentionable diseases in my body due to the battles in the Quartet. Every time it is cold in winter or when it rains continuously, I will feel sore all over. It is really unbearable. I wanted to This winter is going to be difficult again. Unexpectedly, since I moved to Xingqing Palace, the ground is warm all day long, which makes my body warm and full of energy. Every day, I only think about containing Yi Nong Sun, I don’t care about other things.”

After all, he took a look at Pei Ji and said with a smile: "I remember Pei San, you seem to be two years older than me, and you feel mentally weak now, don't you?"

Hearing the words of the Supreme Emperor, Pei Ji's heart skipped a beat. After pondering for a moment, he smiled and said: "The old minister is not young. But because the old minister has always been a civil servant, he is no more than when the Supreme Emperor was young. I was hurt secretly. Now I feel better."

The Supreme Emperor didn't take it seriously when he heard Pei Ji's prevarication.As if nothing had happened, he smiled and said: "That's useless. This person, once he gets old, he can't accept the old. His energy and eyes are not as good as those of young people. So when it's time to obey the old, let's obey the old." Alright, so as not to make their younger generation laugh."

Hearing this, Pei Ji smiled embarrassingly, and accompanied the Taishanghuang's move, toasted a glass of wine.

Because of the Taishanghuang's words, Pei Ji's movements at the subsequent banquet were much quieter.Even Xian De's lineage of veterans didn't speak much, they just had a sullen face, drinking and thinking.

Seeing this, Emperor Yong'an was quite grateful for the words of the Supreme Emperor.I also know that the Supreme Emperor has no intention of competing with him in his heart.In the heart of reciprocating peaches and plums, he frequently joked and made the Supreme Emperor happy.

Before Emperor Yong'an ascended the throne, he had a lively personality, and his words were astonishing.Now he is trying to curry favor with the Supreme Emperor, and he is even more witty and laughing.It caused all the ministers and workers to laugh several times.

Under everyone deliberately whitewashing the peace, the slightly dull palace banquet caused by the words of the Supreme Emperor became lively again.

This year's New Year's Eve banquet lasted until the middle of the night, when the Taishang Emperor became tired, he finally left.

The next day was the first day of the Lunar New Year, and all the monarchs and ministers had a palace banquet in Taiji Palace.Naturally, this day was Emperor Yong'an's home court. After three years of succeeding to the throne, he finally moved into the Taiji Palace in a legitimate way, so there is no need to elaborate on how high-spirited Emperor Yong'an was.Even the lineage of the Qiandi and old ministers of King Qing's Mansion were enjoying themselves very much.Under such a strong atmosphere, no one cared about the slight silence of Xiande veterans.

After receiving the banquet at the Taiji Palace, Zuo Pu shot Pei Ji to the Xingqing Palace to meet the Supreme Emperor.No one knows what the two old monarchs and ministers said in the palace afterwards.All I know is that when Pei Ji came out of Xingqing Palace, his expression was rather lonely. He stood in front of the gate of Xingqing Palace and stared in the direction of Taiji Palace. It took half an hour before he left with a long sigh.

After that, he wrote to Emperor Yong'an, begging to resign on the grounds that he was old and mentally ill.

Because this day is still the second day of the new year, the first month has not yet passed.What's more, veterans have always asked to resign—especially when the prime minister asked for resignation, even if the king had the heart, in order to take care of the veteran's face, he would refuse to accept it, and he would not be reluctant until the veteran begged for bones agree.

Emperor Yong'an had always had a bad opinion of Pei Ji because of Pei Ji's past assisting the crown prince and the rivalry between the courtiers of the two lines after he ascended the throne.Earlier, he also gritted his teeth and wished he could catch Pei Ji immediately and expel him from the court.But now that he is deeply favored by the Supreme Emperor's concubine Gong Long, and seeing that Pei Ji is so knowledgeable about current affairs, he doesn't want to embarrass him too much, but follow the old practice to persuade him to stay again and again.

Since Pei Ji was persuaded by the Supreme Emperor to submit the old book, he had made up his mind.After seeing Emperor Yong'an's politeness to persuade him to stay, he still submitted the paper again and again, and the monarch and his ministers tossed and tossed until the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month. Seeing that Emperor Yong'an could not refuse, he officially approved Pei Ji's paper for retirement.

However, unlike ordinary officials who immediately returned to their hometown after retiring, Pei Ji did not return to his hometown even though he was retiring, and still lived in Chang'an.I have nothing to do every day, or enjoy my grandchildren at home, or go to Xingqing Palace to pay respects to the Supreme Emperor, and accompany the Supreme Emperor to go fishing, go and bathe in hot springs. As time goes on, sometimes I will meet Emperor Yong'an who is much more diligent than before. and Queen Wei.

When Pei Ji was in the court, he was ordered by the Supreme Emperor to major in "Da Chu Xiande Law", so he was quite good at laws and regulations.After Emperor Yong'an succeeded to the throne, he ordered his ministers to revise the "Law of Yong'an" because of the changing times.

Sometimes the two met in Xingqing Palace, and they chatted a little without avoiding embarrassment.Ever since Emperor Taishang moved to Xingqing Palace, Emperor Yong'an preferred to bring all kinds of actions in the court to the Emperor. Sometimes when he encountered a problem, the father and son would discuss it endlessly, and the Emperor would habitually ask Pei Ji, and Pei Ji would only respond. In a few words, it is concise.He told Emperor Yong'an and his confidants to praise him secretly, "Sure enough, he is a treacherous and cunning man".Even in the court hall, when there were occasional doubts about the discussion, he would deliberately listen to the opinions of Xiande's senior officials.

After all, although the former ministers of the hidden mansion reused by Emperor Yong'an had a heart of loyalty to the emperor and serving the country, sometimes they had too little experience and had little experience.I see some serious illnesses and bad habits in my eyes. Although I have the intention to get rid of the evils, I don't know where to start.And although among those old ministers there are those who eat vegetarian meals in the place of corpses and fish in troubled waters, they are used to it because they have seen a lot and experienced a lot.Know better how to work with the light in order to achieve twice the result with half the effort.

Therefore, although Emperor Yong'an did not expect these veteran ministers to have the intention to eliminate evils and forge ahead, he occasionally asked for one or two, and took it as a reference, which can also be called wide-ranging advice.

As time went on, the relationship between Emperor Yong'an and these virtuous veterans became more and more harmonious.Seeing that Emperor Yong'an did not insist on promoting Qiandi's confidants against Xiande's old ministers, many officials from the line of veteran ministers gradually let go of the repulsion and hesitation in their hearts for the time being, and even worked hard to win Emperor Yong'an's trust and reuse.

As a result, the hostile attitude of the courtiers of the two lines eased a lot.The monarchs and ministers in the imperial court worked hard to govern, while the local officials deliberately obeyed the law and violated the law, and the procrastination in handling affairs was also decreasing day by day.The efficiency of the imperial court was getting higher and higher. Emperor Yong'an only felt that he hadn't done much in the past year. Not only did the government become clearer, but every time the palace's decree went to the place, the order was issued more and more smoothly.I don't feel a sigh in my heart, this is called the authority of the emperor, and the words are golden.

But these are things for later, let's not mention them for now.

Now let's say that on the ninth day of the first month of the third year of Yong'an, the Khitan clan in the north of Dachu sent a delegation to visit the court.Since foreigners came to court, Emperor Yong'an had to host a banquet in Tai Chi Palace.

The clock is running out, the drums are playing, the singing and dancing is peaceful, the monarch and his ministers get each other, and they exchange cups and cups. It is needless to elaborate on the romantic atmosphere of that prosperous dynasty.

When the court dancer Le Niang sang silk and bamboo, the Khitan envoys from the tribe all stared their eyes straight, they didn't even know that the wine in the cup was spilled.

All the ministers and workers saw it in their eyes, and they couldn't help making fun of it secretly.It is also a scene of grandeur and grandeur that comforts me.

When he was young, the commander-in-chief of Khitan Qu came back to his senses, cupped his cup in embarrassment to Emperor Yong'an and said with a smile: "I have heard about the weather in Tianchao, which is different from other places. We have never seen it before, and it made Your Majesty laugh."

Emperor Yong'an laughed loudly when he heard the words, and he naturally expressed some words of relief.

However, the Khitan envoy was still a little embarrassed,

Xue Yan was also in the court class, seeing how handsome Khitan Qu was, his heart skipped a beat.He said with a smile: "I heard that there is a kind of melon in Huihe. Its surface is about the same size as the winter melon in our dynasty, but it is rounder, and the inside is as bright red as blood, or yellow as crystal, and it tastes like nectar. Do you know that he is handsome?"

Khitan Qu Shuai asked, and he couldn't help but replied: "It seems that there is such a kind of melon. But the Huihe people are very precious. But I have never seen it with my own eyes."

Xue Yan curled his lips. Anyway, the earliest record of seeing watermelon in later history books is "The Story of Xianlu" written by Hu Qiao of the Five Dynasties. The book said that watermelon was "the Khitan broke through Huihe and got the melon seeds".So Xue Yan also has the same intention when he asks Khitan Qu Shuai now.

"A certain person is lazy by nature, and likes to eat and drink the most. Therefore, whenever he smells good food everywhere, he likes to ask the bottom line. He is so handsome."

Emperor Yong'an glanced at Xue Yan with a smile, and said to Khitan Qushuai: "This is Xue Yan, the son of the Duke of Wei, who is most eager to enjoy himself on weekdays. He can't get tired of eating and eating, and the only thing he has learned is strong memory. They also pay attention to the food here."

Khitan Qu Shuai heard what Emperor Yong'an said, he was not surprised and said: "Dare to ask this Xue Shizi, but is it the God of War, General Xue, and Princess Pingyang?"

Emperor Yong'an responded with a smile, "It is the only son of the imperial sister and Duke Wei."

Khitan Qu Shuai looked back at Xue Yan carefully, then cupped his hands and smiled, "The people I admire most in my life are General Xue and the eldest princess. I am honored to meet Xue Shizi today. It is true that the tiger father has no dogs."

Xue Yan also smiled when he heard this.Thank you without a smile.

Khitan Qushuai said again: "Since Xue Shizi likes to eat, after I and all the envoys return to the court, I will definitely get the melon seeds from Huihe and offer them to Xue Shizi."

Hearing this, Xue Yan naturally thanked him again.But I don't know that after such gossip, after the Khitan Qu commander returned to the country, he really sent envoys to Huihe to ask for watermelon seeds, but in the end they failed, and the two countries even had a rift because of this. After that, various frictions developed, and finally they even fought each other. , In the end it was the Khitan who broke through and returned to Hehe.The Khitan Qu Shuai finally fulfilled his promise and sent envoys to send the melon seeds from Huihe to Chang'an all the way.

Xue Yan was dumbfounded when he learned the cause and effect of this incident, and muttered to himself, fortunately, at this time, people did not know the history of later generations, otherwise, regarding the dispute between the two countries, he would have to comment again, "This is a bloody case caused by a melon seed".

But that's all for later, let alone need to say more at this time.

Let's say that the Khitan delegation came to Beijing to meet, this is the reason why my grand master Chu's prestige has spread far and wide all over the world.Emperor Yong'an ascended the throne for three years before he entered the Taiji Palace. He was well versed in the court, and the surrounding fields surrendered.

Therefore, Emperor Yong'an decided to pay homage to the Taimiao on the sixteenth day of the first lunar month to offer sacrifices to heaven and ancestors.

When the holy accident is revealed, the full face is turned up and down to know it all.Some people didn't think so, and some were secretly excited, especially the former ministers from the Qiandi lineage who regarded this matter as the most important thing to make arrangements.

As a guard of thousands of cattle, Xue Yan guards the palace every day, and his duty is that he is too busy these few days to touch the ground.Follow Shangfeng's arrangement every day, either go here to check, or go there to check, until you have walked the road from Taiji Palace to Taimiao no less than a thousand times, and you are familiar with all the places.

Until the day when Emperor Yong'an offered sacrifices to the heavens and paid homage to the Taimiao, Xue Yan followed the guards from the Taiji Palace and escorted Shengjia all the way from the Taiji Palace to the Taimiao, and then he was ordered to guard outside the temple.It takes a whole day to put on the heavy Mingguang armor. You can only hear the sound of drums and music in the Taimiao, but you can't hear the birds. Occasionally, you can hear a word or a half of the official in charge. I don't know the details at all, so I was so busy talking, and I didn't finish the calculation until around the end of the day.Sheng Jia and all the courtiers returned to the palace immediately.

By the time a group of carriages arrived at the palace, it was already Golden Wu Si Chui.

As far as Xue Yan was concerned, Jin's visit to the Taimiao on this day was muddled.Apart from being tired, I have no other feelings, but from Emperor Yong'an's point of view, after this day's Jin visit to the Taimiao, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty looked at him differently.Moreover, he himself felt that his position as the emperor was justified. In the past, whenever courtiers talked about brotherly respect, filial piety, he would always feel guilty.But since that day, he felt that other people's words could not disturb his heart anymore.

As long as I work hard and try my best to be a good emperor.One day, when the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty mention me again, they will only see my achievements and no longer pay attention to my past.

As the saying goes, whether it is a merit or a demerit is left to Qing Shi to comment.

I don't know if it was figured out or some other reason, the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty also found that Emperor Yong'an had become more diligent in political affairs since he visited the Taimiao.

From Xue Yan's point of view, Emperor Yong'an was as if he had been beaten with chicken blood, his chest was full of grand plans and ambitions, and he couldn't rest for a moment.

Because of Emperor Yong'an's unimaginable prosperity, the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty have not been peaceful for years.

It was the 21st day of the first lunar month, and the weather was extremely cold.Emperor Yong'an issued an edict to go to Chang'an Guowaihuangzhuang to marry Nongsang.Not only the ministers of the court and the central government also followed, but even the prince, the king of Han, and the king of Wei also followed their father to cultivate the farmland and knew all kinds of grains.

As a guard of thousands of cattle, Xue Yan naturally had to stand by.Emperor Yong'an thought that Xue Yan was quite proficient in eating and eating, and even made waterwheels and other things that benefit farmers last year, so he couldn't help recruiting people to gossip.

Unexpectedly, Xue Yan was quite proficient in the matter of investigating things, but he didn't know the various grain seeds that Emperor Yong'an brought out.When Emperor Yong'an saw this, he had to make fun of it.He also laughed with Duke Wei and his wife and said, "I thought that Yan'er was very knowledgeable about food and must be familiar with the five grains. Unexpectedly, Yan'er only knew them but didn't know why, and didn't even recognize these grains. It's better than The prince and the blue bird are still far behind."

Princess Pingyang didn't take it seriously when she heard Emperor Yong'an's jokes.He still smiled and said: "Yan'er is already very good like this. The sage has his own strengths and weaknesses, so why bother to seek perfection."

Emperor Yong'an smiled and nodded at Princess Pingyang, because he said: "You couple, having a son is enough for everything."

Seeing Emperor Yong'an chatting with his parents, Xue Yan quietly withdrew.At the back, he saw Wei Ziqi standing aside with a smile on his face.Xue Yan walked up to him and said with a smile, "What are you laughing at?"

Wei Ziqi said, "Shall I teach you how to recognize millet?"

Xue Yan thought for a while, and said, "Okay."

So the two of them made a group, chattering behind them, and Wei Ziqi explained to Xue Yan about various grain seeds and how to plant them.

Xue Yan listened for a while, then smiled and said, "I heard that brother Ziqi joined the army to fight since he was a child, so why is he also proficient in Jiaxuan?"

Wei Ziqi said: "In the past, I was in the army, because I was in the military system of the government, and I used soldiers in wartime to farm in leisure time, so I knew a little bit."

Xue Yan nodded.The two stood face to face for a while, and Xue Yan laughed because he thought of the gossip he had heard from his mother years ago: "I heard that Duke Zhen and Auntie are busy making marriages for you, but whose young lady have you made?"

Wei Ziqi shook his head, frowned slightly and said, "I think it's good to be alone. What's more, I killed too much in the early years, and even Daoist Misty felt that my husband and wife were not related. If this is the case, why should I intentionally harm others and bring trouble to other people's families? My little lady is terrified, I don't know when I will kill her, or I will die in battle, wouldn't it be even more pitiful."

Xue Yan felt that Wei Ziqi's thoughts were too leftist, so he opened his mouth to persuade him.At the end, as if thinking of something, he smiled and said, "Don't worry. The sage Yunzi doesn't talk about strange powers and gods. It can be seen that there are ghosts and gods, but if you believe it, you have it, and if you don't believe it, you don't have it. Besides, maybe your current situation, It's just that the real fate didn't come. When the fate arrives, you will definitely find the best one."

For example, in those time-traveling novels that are very popular in later generations, the heroine may not be famous or come from a low background, but she is beautiful and intelligent.In the end, it must be matched with a person who looks like a lone star, but is actually considerate and considerate.

Of course Wei Ziqi didn't know what Xue Yan was thinking.Seeing Xue Yan's strange smile, he couldn't help saying: "Don't talk about me. I heard that the eldest princess is also busy with you recently. It's just that you insist on not following. You can tell me why you insist on not following ?”

Seeing that the topic was brought up on his own head, Xue Yan immediately lost the desire to gossip.He bared his teeth brilliantly at Wei Ziqi, said nothing, and slipped away with oil on his feet.

Wei Ziqi was amused, and was about to step forward to ask questions, but saw the Crown Prince and King Wei who were following Emperor Yong'an came up to meet him.Talking and laughing with Xue Yan.The King of Han fell even further behind the Crown Prince and King Wei, seeing the three of them chatting, he only smiled but did not answer.

Wei Ziqi stopped when he saw this.

Duke Wei Wuji of Zhen Guo did not know when he had come to Wei Ziqi's side, and asked curiously, "What are the ingredients and Yan'er talking about?"

Wei Ziqi came back to his senses and said, "It's nothing, just teach him about the five grains."

The father and son chatted a few gossips, and saw that Emperor Yong'an was calling for someone, so they stopped talking and stepped forward.

Because of Emperor Yong'an's marriage to Nong Sang, the monarch and his ministers had to have a chat about this year's harvest and harvest.Emperor Yong'an saw that Xu Hui, Minister of the Household Department, was coughing and coughing frequently, so he couldn't help frowning and said: "It's cold today, Xu Qinghe should take good care of it, and don't work hard on the desk to aggravate the condition."

Xu Hui waved his hands unconsciously when he heard the words, and replied with a smile: "It's okay, it's just an accidental cold. I'll go to Weichen's house and drink Liangji decoction. Thank you for your majesty's concern."

Emperor Yong'an heard the words, Fang nodded and said no more.

On the contrary, Xue Yan's heart skipped a beat for some reason.He looked at Xu Hui's pale face, thought for a while, and said: "In the early years, Mr. Xu fought with His Majesty on the battlefield. Although he was a civil servant, he was inevitably injured by swords and arrows on the battlefield. Although it is a little cold, but Don’t ignore it, lest minor illnesses become serious illnesses.”

After a pause, before Xu Hui could open his mouth, he said, "I heard that although the Piaomiao Daoist from Shangqingguan is obsessed with the way of longevity, the art of Qihuang is the most exquisite. I'm going to visit Shangqingguan tomorrow. Master Misty, if Mr. Xu has nothing to do, can you come with me, so that Master Misty can be called the No. [-] pulse of Mr. Xu. In this way, not only I can rest assured, but Your Majesty can also feel at ease. Even Brother Xu is guarding the border in Youzhou. I can feel at ease."

Because Yan Junji was recalled to Chang'an by Emperor Yong'an this year, Xu You, who originally planned to return to Chang'an for the New Year, could not come back.I only write a letter to my parents, relatives and friends for New Year greetings.In the letter, it is indispensable to ask friends in Chang'an to visit the house from time to time, one is to relieve the loneliness of his parents, and the other is to show filial piety for him.

As Xu You's father, Xu Hui knew of the old friendship between Xue Yan and his son.Therefore, even though he felt that Xue Yan's attitude was a little too cautious, when he heard that Xue Yan mentioned his son, he was still very concerned.Besides, he has nothing important to do tomorrow, so it's not easy to offend the kindness of the younger generation.

Xu Huilue thought for a moment, then smiled happily and thanked him endlessly.
