The Chinese New Year in the army is not as warm and lively as usual at home. After the Chinese New Year, Xi Xiuyuan took advantage of the victory to pursue and wiped out all the rebels in just two months, and brought Xi Chi back to Beijing to return to his command.

When Xi Chi passed by Linan, he went home to meet his grandparents, and took Xi Xiuyuan to meet his grandparents.

Xi Xiuyuan was a little nervous when he saw Mr. Yao.He had heard of the reputation of old man Yao, Yao's family ruled the sky in Linan, and old man Yao studied with Emperor Mu when he was a teenager, and was later sent to Linan as the governor, and he was also named the Duke of Fu.

Linan was a prosperous place in the Xuan Dynasty. There were also many scholars here, and there were many generals and prime ministers.

Mr. Yao was in good spirits, and after seeing Xi Chi, he beckoned his grandson to come over: "Baby, let grandpa see if you have grown taller again."

Xi Chi smiled and stepped forward: "I think I have grown a lot taller."

Old Master Yao patted Xichi on the shoulder: "It's as tall as your uncle."

He took another look at Xi Xiuyuan: "This is Xiuyuan, right? He's quite handsome."

Xi Xiuyuan smiled slightly: "The junior is Xi Xiuyuan, Mr. Yao has won the award."

Mr. Yao wanted Xichi to stay in Linan. He felt that the capital is a place of right and wrong, with many rules and many things, which is not suitable for Xichi's life.

Linan is full of beauties, and the climate is good. Living here is not as comfortable as living in the capital.

Xi Xiuyuan talked with Mr. Yao for a long time before asking Xi Chi to come over: "Ah Chi has made a contribution this time, and the emperor has heard about him. If you don't bring him to the emperor to have a look, I'm afraid it will be disrespectful to the emperor and his old man."

He didn't talk about how much King Cheng wanted to see Xi Chi, King Cheng couldn't hold back this well-informed old man at all, Xi Xiuyuan had to move the emperor out to be useful.

Once the emperor and the courtiers, the emperor has changed, and the power of the Yao family in the capital is not as deep as before.Mr. Yao has only heard that the emperor is a powerful person, but he has never seen it with his own eyes.

Chi Chi is the most outstanding among the younger generation of the Yao family, but he is not suitable to be a close minister of the emperor.Old Master Yao took a look at Xichi: "Go to the capital to learn more, remember not to offend the emperor. By the way, you can't marry a girl from the capital. You have to come to Linan to get married. Grandpa doesn't allow you to marry people from other places. "

Mr. Yao was worried that Xichi would have to stay in the capital if he married a daughter from the capital.

Xi Xiuyuan rubbed his nose: "If there is a noble girl with high status who falls in love with A Chi, it must be A Chi who will not marry her."

Old Master Yao said: "Even a princess cannot marry by force."

Having said that, Mr. Yao thought about it, and it seems that there is no princess in the palace who is powerful enough to forcefully marry Xichi.

Xi Chi said: "Okay, okay, I understand, grandpa, don't worry about this matter, we will talk about it later."

"By the way, King Yu has also entered Beijing." Old Master Yao said, "You are not allowed to run away with him."

King Yu is the husband of Xi Chi's mother remarried.

He has always admired Xi Chi. When he was young, Xi Chi wanted to secretly hide Xi Chi in a carriage and take him to the southwest.Fortunately, Mr. Yao found out that King Yu was not allowed to take him away.

In the past two years, Xi Chi has grown older. King Yu wanted to marry his niece to Xi Chi and let Xi Chi go to the southwest to work with him. For this reason, King Yu wrote letters to Mr. Yao every month.

Although King Yu was not Xichi's real father, he married Xichi's mother and thought he was Xichi's half father.

Xi Chi rubbed his eyebrows.

The family relationship is so chaotic, and the relationship between each other is actually very difficult to maintain. It is not good to be too close, and it is not good to be too distant.Xi Chi loves everyone sincerely, but it is difficult to show this sincerity in an appropriate way.

And—Both King Yu and King Cheng are not very good-tempered. The only thing Xichi hopes is that these two people will not meet. If they fight, there is no one who can fight.

After Xi Xiuyuan and Xichi finally left the gate of Yao's house, they both heaved a sigh of relief.

Xi Xiuyuan said: "Fuguogong, the old man is really—"

The desire to control can be said to be very strong.

Xi Chi shook his head and said, "Since I passed my 13th birthday, there have been more and more kisses to me after my 15th birthday. Now—"

Almost everyone wants Xichi to get married quickly, everyone wants Xichi to marry a girl from his place, not just a girl, and there are quite a lot of young men.

Chi Chi is too useful, no matter his identity or his own talents are coveted by other forces.

Xi Xiuyuan said: "A Chi, what do you think?" "No matter how urgent you are, I won't be nervous."

Xi Chi doesn't care where his future partner is from, whether he is from Beijing, Linan, or Southwest, or not from these three places, he doesn't care.

The most important thing is to like each other and have a close relationship with each other.

Chichi himself is capable of coping with pressure from all sides.

Xi Xiuyuan got on his horse neatly, and he smiled at Xi Chi: "Good brother, it's time for us to return to Beijing!"

After not seeing King Cheng for so long, Xi Xiuyuan missed him very much.

He knew that his father missed him and his brother as much.

Having made great military exploits, Xi Xiuyuan also expects to be appreciated by the emperor and all the officials after returning home. Xi Chi does not want to make a difference in the officialdom, but Xi Xiuyuan wants to achieve a career and stand shoulder to shoulder with King Cheng.

It was early summer when he returned to the capital, and Xi Chi remembered that it was also the season when he went to Beijing two years ago.

The capital has changed a lot in the past two years.Xi Xiuyuan entered the palace, and Xi Chi didn't have to go in with him, so he returned home.

King Cheng heard the news of his two sons coming back early in the morning. He was very happy when he saw Xi Chi, and slapped Xi Chi on the shoulder with his big hand: "Your boy has grown a lot taller!"

King Cheng's slap was different from Mr. Yao's slap, Xi Chi almost didn't vomit blood: "Father, be gentle."

——I will be shot to death by you!

King Cheng was so happy that he wanted to check Chichi from the beginning to the end: "Is there any injury? Let your father see where it is injured. This time your brother often praises you. You are a good boy!"

Xi Chi said: "Father, don't worry, I'm not injured, I didn't go to the battlefield much."

Most of what Xi Chi did was to coordinate the relationship between all parties and calculate and ambush the rebels.This time the battle is his brother's home game, Xi Chi thinks Xi Xiuyuan is enough.

Xi Xiuyuan looks very elegant, but he has killed countless enemies on the battlefield and is very brave, which is not at all the same as his appearance.

Prince Cheng beamed with joy: "Where's your brother? He went to the palace?"

Xi Chi nodded: "Yes, brother has gone to see the emperor."

King Cheng felt that his family was glorious. Not only was he very useful, but his two sons were also outstanding.Compared with the sons of my colleagues who are still fighting crickets, my son is the proud son of heaven, and I am the winner in life.

"Is your brother injured? Even if he is injured, he won't write to me. Please talk about it."

Xichi said: "Brother suffered a serious arrow wound. I asked a famous doctor to detoxify him. Now he has recovered, but there is a scar on his back."

King Cheng himself has scars all over his body. Although he loves his children, swords have no eyes on the battlefield. It is normal to be injured a little, as long as he can come back safely.

Sure enough, Xi Xiuyuan won another award.He praised his younger brother again and again in front of the emperor. Zhong Ye was curious about what kind of talent Xi Xiuyuan's younger brother was. If it was really as literary and martial as Xi Xiuyuan said, Zhong Ye would be willing to promote this young man.

Xi Chi is only 20 years old, compared with the sons of most ministers, he can be regarded as young and promising.

That night, Xi Xiuyuan went home and got drunk with his father and younger brother. The next day there was a banquet in the palace, and the emperor asked Xi Xiuyuan to bring Xichi with him.

The year before last at Shunhou Mansion, Xichi could find excuses not to meet the emperor, but this time the emperor specified that he wanted to see him, so Xichi couldn't refuse now.

Xi Chi has two identities. Those who know him as Xi Chi are all family members, and those who know him as Yao Xi are all friends.

Some officials in Xuan Dynasty knew about Xi Chi's other identity, Xi Chi hesitated for a moment, he was worried that the exposure of Yao Xi's identity would bring trouble to his family.

He thought that after thinking about it, the emperor would really be afraid of this, so he proposed to leave the capital and never come back, and he would not interfere in the government in the future.

Xi Chi had heard of Zhong Ye's many deeds, and he knew that the king's palace and methods were extraordinary.

On the day of entering the palace, it was not good for Xichi to wear white clothes as usual. In order to conform to the status of the prince, he changed into a green clothes, and his black hair was tied up with a jade crown. The young man in the mirror was like a Zhilan Yushu, and his gentle and delicate eyebrows made people fall into it. , Compared with two years ago, Xi Chi is more slender and handsome, and has lost many childish feelings of youth.

Xi Xiuyuan was worried that Xi Chi would be nervous about such an occasion. After all, he was a face saint. When he first met the emperor, he was too nervous to speak.So Xi Xiuyuan stood beside Xi Chi: "A Chi, although His Majesty is indifferent, he will definitely not make things difficult for you, so don't be too nervous."

Xi Chi was not nervous, he was just guessing what kind of young man the emperor is today.

He and the emperor had never met, but Xichi deeply understood the other party's intention to reform the government, and speculated on every government order issued by the other party.In the Pingyingzhou Rebellion this time, many places had to ask the emperor for instructions, and the emperor's opinions often hit the nail on the head.

Although he has never met him before, Chichi admires this emperor from the bottom of his heart, thinking that he can save the gradually declining Xuan Dynasty and bring the Xuan Dynasty back to prosperity.

Xi Chi said: "Brother, my heart is beating very fast."

He himself didn't know why he jumped so fast.

If his identity was exposed in front of the emperor and a disaster happened, Xichi would not be afraid of disaster, would not be nervous or timid about it.

Is it excited?

Xi Chi took the seat with Xi Xiuyuan, and the ministers next to him talked to each other before the emperor arrived.

Half a quarter of an hour later, a eunuch shouted "The emperor is here", and everyone stood up and saluted.

Everyone didn't dare to raise their heads, and neither did Xichi.

The emperor's voice was cold and majestic: "Everyone who loves you is flat, get up."

Xi Chi raised his eyes slowly.

The emperor wearing a black dragon robe gives people a deep sense of oppression, and the face after the crown should be gloomy and handsome, unsmiling, making everyone afraid of submitting.

Xi Chi raised his eyes boldly, and Zhong Ye's gaze was also fixed on him.

Zhong Ye still remembered the continuous autumn rain in Qing County, and the empty hut.

Unexpectedly, one day, Xi Chi would actually stand in front of him.
