wait for me to be king

In a country with thousands of miles of mountains and rivers, there are nine gates in the city.If you don't see the emperor's residence, how can you know the emperor's dignity?

Standing in front of the majestic city gate, Xie Changfeng took a deep breath, Chang'an, he is back again.

The capital of the Great Chu Dynasty was established in Chang'an. Ding Guogong once told him in private that the reason why the Taizu of Chu used Chang'an as the capital was actually because Chang'an had a palace that had been built since the Tang Dynasty. money ==

However, regardless of financial factors, Chang'an is still the most highly rated ancient capital of the Qin, Han, and Tang dynasties in the history books, especially the former Tang Dynasty.

The change of dynasties, the accumulation of more than a thousand years and the tempering of the smoke and flames of wars make Chang'an in front of you more thick and deep, like an abyss like a sea.

Xie Changfeng was full of emotions in his heart. He was also a mighty general in the Tang Dynasty 300 years ago, but the world was unpredictable, so he never thought that he would come to the Chu Dynasty.

After expressing his emotions, Xie Changfeng calmed down and let Uncle Wang lead the way into the city.

Uncle Wang led them into the city from Yanxing Gate, all the way north, passing the most prosperous Dongshi on the way, where there are many shops of various colors and rare treasures from all directions, all of which are accumulated, it is dizzying for people to see.

Uncle Wang smiled and said, "Our mansion is in Shengyefang in the north of Dongshi. If the general wants to visit Dongshi, he can come anytime after the arrangement is settled."

Xie Changfeng smiled, "If you really want to find something suitable, it's better to go to West Market."

Uncle Wang nodded when he heard the words, "The general is right. Although the things in the East Market are rare, the prices are ridiculously expensive. If you really want to live at home, the West Market is more suitable." After a pause, he smiled again, "Speaking of rare things , I see a lot of good things in the general's convoy, right?"

"Of course, last year was a bumper year."

It was always tacit understanding to make war fortune, Xie Changfeng and Uncle Wang looked at each other, and smiled without saying a word.

After passing through Dongshi, you come to Shengyefang. Just after entering the gate, the east side is Dingguogong's mansion.

The concierge had already received the report, the front door was wide open, and many servants stretched their necks to look out. After seeing Uncle Wang and the group, a well-dressed middle-aged man hurriedly reported inside, "The young lady is back. !!"

Xie Changfeng helped Mrs. Lin out of the carriage, and a group of people walked into the Duke's mansion, walked through the corridor, and came to the main hall. Mr. Lin Jingcheng of Dingguo sat at the head. For a moment, he immediately got up and laughed.

"It's good to be back!!"

He patted Xie Changfeng on the shoulder, then nodded at his daughter, and then... reached out and hugged Lin Xi who was in the arms of Lin's nurse ==

Xie Changfeng sneered, and Lin sighed, "Daddy, let's wash up and rest, the eldest brother is still young..."

"Do you think I've never hugged you?" Lin Jingcheng smiled slightly, "Your mother left early. At that time, your second brother and I took turns to take care of you. Jin'er is young, and I did most of the things myself."

Lin looked at her father in shock, "Daddy?! Where's the servant girl?"

"Oh, only your nurse and your mother's old servant are left behind, but...you are the child your mother desperately left behind, and I don't feel relieved to hand it over to the servants."

Lin's eyes turned red when she heard the words, "Daddy..."

Lin Jingcheng smiled, and the wrinkles on his old face gradually faded away. He teased his little grandson, "Now that I'm back, it's fine to stay at home all day, so you can let me stay with you."

If it was someone else's family, there would be no reason for the grandfather to take care of his grandson by himself. Dingguo Duke's mansion has no mistress. Since Lin Xi has been adopted by the Lin family, he must be taken care of by the Lin family. After all, the Lin family is a married woman Xie's wife. It's okay to live in Duke Ding's mansion, after Xie Changfeng enters the palace to see his promotion, it's not suitable to live in Duke Ding's mansion again.

"Brother is still young, if father-in-law misses you, you might as well ask Qingniang to visit him often, and put him by your side after the child is three years old." Xie Changfeng disagreed, mainly because Dingguo's mansion is too unpopular, except for Lin Jingcheng , there is no owner anymore, besides, Lin Jingcheng is not too young, if both grandparents and grandchildren fall ill at the same time, it will be a big trouble.

Mrs. Lin was also thinking about her child, and wanted to stay for two more years, so she nodded repeatedly after hearing this, "Yes, Dad retired after a long time, he should take a good rest, and when eldest brother is old, he will come to you to be a filial piety."

Lin Jingcheng looked at the child anxiously, pursed his mouth, "Okay then."

He made up his mind, if the mountain doesn't come, I'll be there, if I go, the mountain will be fine, can the son-in-law still beat him out?

Because of the battle at Yanmen Pass last year, Xie Changfeng really bought a lot of treasures. Uncle Wang and Guanshi He opened two large warehouses before they could put down the things. It was getting late when the family settled down.

After dinner, Duke Ding and Xie Changfeng stayed in the study and talked.

"Tomorrow, when you enter the palace to meet His Majesty, don't talk too much. If you really don't know how to answer, just say that you don't know." Lin Jingcheng began to teach Xie Changfeng the magical skill of how to fool the emperor, "And you must remember, make a decision Your Majesty is always the one who asks your opinion, he is actually judging whether you are usable, so don't be clever, and don't express your thoughts so clearly."

Xie Changfeng listened and nodded repeatedly. His father-in-law was able to fool the emperor for so many years, and then retreated completely in front of Emperor Xuanming. Naturally, what he said was true. He did not speak until Lin Jingcheng said that his mouth was dry, and when he picked up the cup to drink water, Xie Changfeng said, "What about the prince?"

Lin Jingcheng pondered, "Prince...Changfeng, the prince is a prince, not His Majesty, we must be loyal to His Majesty, that's enough."

Xie Changfeng nodded slowly, "I heard that His Royal Highness King Qi hasn't taken over yet?"

"The queen said that she didn't want her child to go far away to the feudal land at such a young age. In addition, the king of Qi stayed in the capital before he got married."

After the funeral of the first emperor, the imperial concubine finally became the empress, but even so, Empress Li's control over the harem was not as good as the previous control over the Dai Palace. After all, everyone now knows one thing, she is the successor, Empress Feiyuan, plus the fact that there is still the Crown Princess Fu in the palace, even though the Crown Princess still visits Chaofeng Palace every now and then to pay her respects, Empress Li still feels that Fu is disrespectful to her.

"King Qi is 17 years old, does he still live in the palace?"

"Although the queen doesn't want King Qi to leave the palace, King Qi is not young after all. His Majesty asked the House of Internal Affairs to build King Qi's mansion for King Qi. Now King Qi lives in the mansion..." Lin Jingcheng narrowed his eyes slightly, "You mean Does the king have other thoughts?"

He sneered, "Which prince doesn't have such an idea? But now is not the time, at least we have to wait until King Qi takes the princess."

Only after getting married and marrying a wife, King Qi is considered a real adult prince in the eyes of the courtiers, so Lin Jingcheng didn't care about it.

"It will be three years before King Qi gets married and finds a way to stay in the capital. During this period...as long as the crown prince is not an idiot, his position will be unbreakable."

After hearing this, Xie Changfeng was very subtle. It seemed that Qi Yuan's position was very stable, so what should he do?

Love is of high importance, is it true that you can only get off the horse to have sex?

But if he really wants to do this, Qi Yuan probably hates him to death, and he, Xie Changfeng, is just waiting to follow the old path of his little friend, and finally die in love!

Without waiting for him to think of a way, the next day a decree came from the palace, allowing him to enter the palace to have an audience.

This was the first time Xie Changfeng met Emperor Xuanming.

Emperor Xuanming was not young, but he was wearing a yellow robe and looked dignified. He summoned Xie Changfeng in the imperial study, and the prince stood beside him. It can be seen that before Xie Changfeng came, Emperor Xuanming was teaching Qi Yuan how to deal with the government.

Witnessing this scene of father's kindness and son's filial piety, Xie Changfeng felt even more uncomfortable.

But now is not the time for him to think wildly, after he knelt down, he heard Emperor Xuanming say, "Pingshen."

Xie Changfeng lowered his head and stood below respectfully.

Emperor Xuanming looked at Xie Changfeng, and found that although Xie Changfeng behaved respectfully, his actions were calm and generous, and his eyebrows were even more heroic. In addition, Xie Changfeng's face was resolute and broad, and he looked like a general. Emperor Xuanming was immediately overjoyed.

"Xie Qing is twenty-five this year, right?"

Emperor Xuanming didn't ask about the military situation, but asked about other things first.

Xie Changfeng said quickly, "Your Majesty said so."

"I heard that Xie Qing just got Lin'er?" Emperor Xuanming said with great interest, "Master Dingguo wants to adopt your eldest son, do you know about this?"

"Of course I know, it will be brought up in the end." Xie Changfeng sighed, "The news of the death of the second uncle of the Lin family came that day. The wife's fetal position was unstable and there were signs of miscarriage. Uncle took good care of the last general, and he passed away suddenly this time, I am really sad, so I made this decision."

Xie Changfeng looked up at Qi Yuan who had been acting as a wallflower by the side, and said abruptly, "His Royal Highness was also present when this happened, and with His Royal Highness testifying, I will not dare to lie to His Majesty."

Qi Yuan raised his eyes and saw Emperor Xuanming looking at him, then he said slowly, "General Xie is right, Mrs. Xie was in an emergency at that time, if not for that, I'm afraid she would have had a miscarriage."

Emperor Xuanming smiled, he was decisive, loyal, capable, and loyal, and he and the prince had the grace to save his life.

He smiled and said, "I read your memorial, how is Yanmen Pass now? Where are the Huns outside the pass?"

Xie Changfeng raised his spirits, explained the details of the battle at Yanmen Pass again in detail, and explained clearly the arrangement before he left, and finally said, "Now that the Huns have been defeated, there should be no more wars in the past two years. Although Wang Zhuang, the general guarding the pass, is young, he has been in the army for ten years, and he is familiar with border affairs, so there should be no serious problems."

Emperor Xuanming nodded, and said, "Go down."

The next day, Emperor Xuanming issued a decree, ordering Xie Changfeng to be the commander of the Eastern Palace Guards, commanding [-] soldiers and horses from the Eight Guards of the Eastern Palace.

He also kindly gave Xie Changfeng a house, which is located in the east of Yongxingfang next to Yanxi Gate outside the imperial city, next door is the office compound of Zuojinwuwei, who guards the capital ==

After leaving the Commander's Mansion and entering the Yanxi Gate, on the left is the office of the left and right guards of the East Palace, and on the right is the Chongming Gate, the gate of the East Palace.

Xie Changfeng was moved to tears, what does it mean to get the moon first?

His Majesty the emperor is so sweet, he not only promoted him and gave him a house, but also let him live only a kilometer away from the East Palace, this, this...

Ha ha.

Xie Changfeng happily took Mrs. Lin to live in, and went to work in good spirits the next day.
