The daily life of the eldest son

After moving back to the Tang Mansion, the lives of Ye Yi and Tang Xiao returned to their original appearance, except that Tang Yun was missing.

Ye Yi, the Ye Mansion opposite the Tang Mansion, originally wanted to keep it, just as Grandpa Ye said, as a way out, if he can't live in the Tang Mansion again in the future, he still has a place to go, But Tang Xiao disagreed no matter what, and insisted on selling Ye Yi's mansion, saying that Ye Yi only needed to keep the Zhuang mansion. In the end, he agreed and Ye Yi rented out Ye Yi's mansion.

The court was calm, and when the prince recommended officials to the emperor to fill the vacancy in the household department, the emperor transferred Cui Liang to the household department without any hesitation, which made the East Palace confirm once again that the emperor would pass the throne to the prince firmly .

In this way, a year later, the emperor who had concealed his illness for a long time finally couldn't hide it anymore, and the treatment was ineffective, and he died.The prince ascended the throne, and the country mourned for three years.

After ascending the throne, the prince immediately put all the cronies of the Eastern Palace into important positions in the official office. Originally, he wanted to hand over the Yushitai to Ye Yi, but Ye Yi refused. In the end, he only accepted the title of loose official from the second rank. Then he took over the secretary supervisor and managed the scriptures and books.

Of course, there is nothing Ye Yi needs to do on the secretary's side, and Ye Yi still follows Nanrong Qingxia every day to make suggestions.

Tang Xiao took over the post of General of the Emperor's Personal Guard without any hesitation, and wandered around Nanrong Qingxia every day.

In this world of peace and prosperity, Ye Yi and Tang Xiao lived comfortably every day: they got up early to go to court, accompanied Nanrong Qingxia to discuss matters, had lunch in the palace, chatted with three or five officials, and then returned to Tang Dynasty. After dinner, they returned to the courtyard of the two of them, closed the courtyard door to prevent Tang Ce or Tang Yan from coming to make trouble, and lived a sweet and elegant life with Xuanfeng and Xuanfeng.

Gu Xiyue, who used to live in the Tang Mansion, still lives in the Tang Mansion after she got married. Just like what Tang Yan said back then, this woman can really fall in love with whoever she marries, even though she knows that she is only marrying an adopted son. It wasn't Tang Xiao who cried a lot, but after that, he also loved her husband and gave birth to three children, which made Ye Yi speechless.

Just like this for two years, the outbreak of war in the Western Regions disturbed the purity of the two of them, and their lives remained the same, but their hearts were always thinking of Tang Yun who was far away in the Western Regions.

In the Liangyi Hall, Nanrong Qingxia, who had only been in office for two years, was sitting behind the imperial case, looking at a military map of the Western Regions with a solemn expression.

Under the throne, Ye Yi, Tang Xiao, Cui Liang, Tang Shichang, the ministers of the three provinces, and two other generals were also surrounding a military map of the Western Regions.

"What do you love dears think?" Nanrong Qingxia rubbed her forehead, seeming very distressed.

Shang Shuling stared at the map for a while but didn't understand everything, but said seriously: "Didn't the battle reports from the Western Regions say that everything is still under control? I think it's better to wait and see what happens." .”

Tang Shichang said solemnly, "There are a lot of tribes in the Western Regions, and there have always been conflicts of all sizes, and there are Western Turks and Dashi Kingdoms on the sidelines, so the number of troops stationed in the Western Regions has always been larger than others, enough to deal with emergencies. situation, but... if the war expands, it won't last long."

Ye Yi took a deep breath, and said: "Because there are heavy troops stationed in the Western Regions, there have always been only small conflicts between tribes in the Western Regions, which are nothing more than to grab territory or resources. This time, they suddenly rebelled against the imperial court. I think it must be something to rely on."

If it weren't for someone's instigation, how could those barbarians in the Western Regions suddenly unite?

"Even so, we can't easily deploy reinforcements." General Guide gave Ye Yi a cold look.

Ye Yi curled his lips and stopped talking.

He also thinks that there is no need to deploy troops for reinforcements for the time being. Although the news from the front line will always be a few days late, since Tang Yun said it doesn't matter, then it doesn't matter, he will have a way.But for some reason, Ye Yi was always uneasy.

Everyone was still discussing fiercely with each other, and someone shouted "urgent report" and rushed into the hall.

Nanrong Qingxia's internal servant Lian Sheng took the urgent report from the soldier and returned to Nanrong Qingxia: "Your Majesty, you are from the Western Regions."

Although the word "urgent report" probably knew that it was sent from the Western Regions, Nanrong Qingxia's heart still tugged when she really heard the word "Western Regions".

After receiving the urgent report and opening it, Nanrong Qingxia's complexion instantly became extremely ugly. She raised her head and looked straight at Ye Yi among the small group of people below, then at Tang Xiao, and finally at Tang Shichang, He handed the urgent report in his hand to Lian Sheng.

"Send it to Lord Ye to have a look."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Lian Sheng took the emergency report and ran to Ye Yi's side.

Ye Yi looked at Nanrong Qingxia puzzled, seeing Nanrong Qingxia's expression was always dignified, Ye Yi's heart skipped a beat.

After receiving the urgent report, Ye Yi dared not open it.He has a bad feeling.

Seeing this, Nanrong Qingxia said again: "If Aiqing dare not look at it, then ask General Tang to look at it."

As soon as Nanrong Qingxia finished speaking, Tang Xiao snatched the urgent report from Ye Yi's hand without hesitation and opened it to read it. After seeing what was written on it, Tang Xiao felt his eyes spinning for a while.

"Impossible!" Tang Xiao threw the urgent report to the ground and roared angrily.

"What's going on?" Tang Shichang stepped forward to pick up the urgent report and opened it to read it. He almost failed to stand still. If Cui Liang behind him hadn't helped him in time, Tang Shichang would have fallen to the ground.

Seeing that these people all looked like this, Cui Liang snatched the emergency report from Tang Shichang's hand in a hurry, and when he opened it, he was stunned: "Tang Yun died in battle? This, how is this possible?!"

Didn't the battle reports from the past few days still say that everything is under control?It's only been a few days of effort, why did he die in battle?And what does it mean to have a dead body in the enemy camp?

No one dared to speak out, but everyone was looking at the three people related to Tang Yun, one was his father Tang Shichang, the other was his twin brother Tang Xiao, and the third was his elder brother who loved Tang Yun very much. Ye Yi.

However, none of these three people could make the slightest sound. Tang Shichang couldn't stand up anyway, so he simply sat on the ground, holding his head and unable to see his expression clearly.Tang Xiao didn't make a sound except for the initial roar. He just stood there with a straight face, looking down at the ground, exuding a chilling aura.And Ye Yi just stood there blankly, his empty eyes made it hard to see what was going on in his heart.

Tang Xiao moved suddenly, turned around and knelt firmly in front of Nanrong Qingxia, and said in a calm voice: "I implore your majesty to set off immediately and go to the Western Regions."

Hearing this request, everyone was startled.Ye Yi's eyes flashed, staring at Tang Xiao's firm back as if he was thinking about something.

Nanrong Qingxia glanced at Ye Yi, and then said: "Aiqing, get up first, it's not that I can't understand Aiqing's mood, it's just that the situation is unclear, I can't..."

Tang Xiao said firmly: "There is no need for reinforcements, I ask someone to rush to the Western Regions to find out the situation."

Tang Yun can't die!So this must be just a trick for him to cheat his death, but the Western Regions sent an urgent report, which shows that Tang Yun failed to explain his plan to anyone. At this time, he must not let anyone ruin Tang Yun's plan. Plan, he wants to go in person!

"This..." Nanrong Qingxia hesitated.

If only one person is allowed to go, it's not impossible, it's just...

Ye Yi also walked up to Tang Xiao's side all of a sudden, raised his clothes and knelt down, and said, "I also implore Your Majesty to grant Tang Xiao's request. If Tang Yun feigns death, and the soldiers of the Western Regions don't know Tang Yun's plan, then at this time they can fight with Tang Xiao." Tang Yun only cooperates with his twin brother Tang Xiao. If Tang Yun... If it is true as said in the emergency report, then...Tang Xiao and Tang Yun look exactly the same. Going to the Western Regions to sit in the town can stabilize the morale of the army on the one hand, and also on the other hand. Can confuse the enemy."

"No!" As soon as Ye Yi finished speaking, Tang Shichang objected sharply, "Ah Xiao can't be allowed to go!"

Ye Yi also yelled loudly in a rare way: "No one can save Ah Yun except Ah Xiao!"

"...I'll go! Knowing a son is like a father!" Tang Shichang also knew that the reasons he said couldn't convince Ye Yi at all, but one of his sons was already in a state of unknown life and death, so he couldn't send the second son away!

Tang Xiao whispered: "Father, only I can go."

Shang Shuling said: "Your Majesty, I also agree with Lord Ye's statement. Although Tang Yun may still be alive, the Western Regions garrison cannot be without generals. If there is only one person, there is no harm in going."

Nanrong Qingxia sighed, and said: "Then I will allow Aiqing to only play, go."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Tang Xiao paused, glanced at Ye Yi beside him, and then stood up abruptly.

Hearing the wind beside him, Ye Yi suddenly grabbed Tang Xiao's clothes.

Tang Xiao's footsteps stopped.

Clutching Tang Xiao's clothes, Ye Yi said in a trembling voice, "Bring him back." Regardless of life or death, Tang Yun must be brought back to Chang'an even if it is a corpse.

"I know," Tang Xiao took a deep breath, "I will definitely come back and bring Tang Yun with me." Regardless of life or death.

After a while, Ye Yi let go of his hand and let Tang Xiao stride away.

damn it!Tang Yun shouldn't have been allowed to go to the Western Regions in the first place!

On this day, when Ye Yi returned to the Tang residence, everyone in the Tang family already knew that Tang Yun's life and death were unknown, and they also knew that Tang Xiao was going to the Western Regions. They even persuaded His Majesty to allow Tang Xiao to go to the Western Regions. It was Ye Yi's. Everything has been heard.

Even when the whole family was agitated because of Ye Yi and Tang Xiao's affairs, the Tang Mansion, which was still lively today, was dead silent. Ye Yi paused before entering the door, but he still stepped into the Tang Mansion after all. .

"Taiwei." In the main room, Ye Yi stood still in front of Tang Taiwei, with his head bowed.

Taiwei Tang suddenly breathed a sigh of relief and said, "You did the right thing."

Upon hearing this, Ye Yi's legs softened, and he knelt down in front of Tang Taiwei with a plop, crying loudly.

Mrs. Tang, who originally blamed Ye Yi for letting Tang Xiao take the risk, felt distressed when she saw Ye Yi like this, she rushed to hug Ye Yi, and cried together.

Both Tang Yun and Tang Xiao are her important sons, but they are also the most important people around Ye Yi. At this time, she can still blame Ye Yi for sending his son to the battlefield, but she can send the person she loves the most to the battlefield with her own hands. Who should Ye Yi blame?

Tang Taiwei said again: "If you don't even have the awareness of death, what kind of soldiers are you still leading? As the Tang family, you should give me something to do! Don't say that Tang Yun's life and death are uncertain now, even if he really died on the battlefield , Those are also descendants of my Tang family who can give face to their ancestors, why are you crying?!"

It's okay if Tang Taiwei didn't say it, but when Tang Taiwei said it, even Tang Yan burst into tears.

"Who cares if he can honor his ancestors! I only want my brother to come back!"
