Good farming at the foot of Changbai Mountain

Chapter 298 Gone
The weather was hot in June, so Zixuan and his party had to get up early and rush on the road, resting at noon. Naturally, the journey was not fast, and it took ten days to reach the capital.

Mingyu had already sent someone to wait at the city gate, and took Zixuan and his party directly to the other courtyard.The emperor specially summoned Zixuan and his wife to express his appreciation for their deeds in Xizhou these years. "Zixuan, you have been away from Beijing for seven or eight years, and you have done very well in Xizhou. This time, I will let you be the servant of the household department. You have to work hard, and don't disappoint my expectations of you. "

Zixuan quickly thanked him. "Thank you, Your Majesty, Long En. Even if Zixuan is smashed to pieces, he must repay His Majesty's kindness."

The emperor smiled, "What are you smashed to pieces? You fought bloody battles in Xizhou to keep the stability of the Northeast, and that's enough. In my heart, I understand the hardships and sufferings you and your husband have suffered. I have decreed that I will give you a house, just wait and see."

The emperor asked Zixuan to get up, and then said to Jinghan, "Ning An, what kind of bomb did you make this time? The Ministry recruits a lot of skilled craftsmen, and then you help them to perfect that thing. Although we will not take the initiative to attack others, if others come to provoke us, with these things, we can exert a lot of power."

Jing Han stepped forward to salute, "The emperor has orders, Ning An will do his best to get a few more weapons for the court."

"This time, I should have rewarded you properly. But after all, you are only a woman, and I don't want you to show off too much. Then people will gossip about Zixuan, so you will be wronged." The emperor said apologetically. .Originally, it was intended to make Jinghan the eldest princess, but Mingyu and others persuaded her to give up.

Jinghan smiled, "Thank you, Brother Huang, Jinghan doesn't care about these things."

"Okay, tonight, I will hold a banquet to celebrate your achievements. Speaking of which, I haven't been able to celebrate the rebellion of Beiyuan and Mo's family this time." The emperor was very happy, and passed on the decree, saying that it was evening A celebration banquet should be held, and all the ministers in the court should come to attend.

So, that night, all civil and military officials had a banquet in the palace.This time, because of the Mo family's rebellion, many officials' honorable homes were purged, but there were fewer people than before.

During the banquet, everyone was very friendly towards the members of the Xu family, as well as Zixuan and Pengcheng.Everyone understands that these people are the most valued people by the emperor now, and even if they can't make good friends with them, they must not have any enmity.

After the banquet, everyone went back to their homes, but Wen Han and others all came to Ming Yu's other courtyard.Since Zixuan and his wife came to Beijing, they haven't been able to talk together yet.

"Brother, why didn't you see Ziwen and Wenxuan?" Jinghan asked a little strangely.

"The two of them, as well as Lord Wu and Lord Han, all went to the northwest to negotiate with Beiyuan and discuss compensation. Wenxuan and the others are also going to recover those generals who are loyal to Mo Yongcheng. There are nearly 30 in the northwest. You can't let these people make trouble again." Wen Han said.

Jinghan nodded, "By the way, big brother, although our family has made contributions in this incident, all of them have been rewarded by the emperor. But this kind of momentum may not be a good thing. Looking at it now, it is indeed extremely honorable, The scenery is perfect, but if it is not done well in the future, it will be a terrible disaster. Therefore, we must strictly demand that our family members must not rely on the emperor's favor to cause trouble. If something happens, it will be the root of disaster in the future " Jing Han said very seriously.

"Second Sister, we are all aware of this matter, and we have already done this. I just think that maybe we can do something to avoid it for a while." Wen Chang thought for a while, and then said. "I would like to ask to leave Beijing to become a county magistrate or something, and I can do something for the people." Wenchang had thought so for a long time, but he just had no chance.

Jinghan looked at Mingyu, "Mingyu, have you handed over the military power?"

Mingyu nodded, "After returning to the capital, the military power will be returned to Brother Huang. Brother Huang originally wanted me to take care of it for a while, but I postponed it." How could Mingyu not know the power of this?What if someone reads his book and says that he is self-respecting and has bad intentions? "Actually, I want to go to the Northeast this time. We have conquered a lot of places there. I want to guard there and stay away from the capital. Maybe it will be better in this way."

"Mingyu, it's bitter cold in the north, you have to figure it out." Jinghan smiled, it would not be good for Mingyu, the prince, to stay in the capital all the time, especially the Xu family is like this now.Originally thought that the Xu family only had a few literati, so it was nothing serious.But now Wenxuan has become the general who leads the army, and he is also a marquis.Now that the emperor is employing people, naturally he won't say anything. If the Xu family becomes more powerful in the future, he is afraid that the emperor will become suspicious of Mingyu. After all, Mingyu is a prince.The north is remote, and Mingyu has gone, so it is a good way to stay away from the right and wrong of the capital.

"Second sister, you and your brother-in-law can stay there for seven or eight years, so why should I be afraid?" Mingyu laughed.

"Mingyu, you have to think about it. If you really leave the capital and want to come back, it will be even more difficult." Wen Han and others persuaded.

"Brother, I have figured it out a long time ago. The emperor is my own brother, but he is also an emperor. He is on the throne and can't help himself. A Marquis of Zhenbei can raise troops to rebel, so what about a prince? Every time the emperor thinks of it, he will Don't you feel suspicious? Rather than destroying the brotherhood, it's better to leave Beijing early. It can not only guard the northeast, keep one side safe, but also dispel the suspicion of the emperor's brother. Maybe this will reverse the brotherhood Deeper." Ming Yu said firmly.

After hearing this, everyone knew that what Ming Yu said was true. "Mingyu, for the sake of the Xu family's wealth, you are asked to leave Beijing to such a remote place, which makes the elder brother feel uncomfortable. It's better for the elder brother to resign from the official position. In our Xu family, it is good to have an official in the court. "Wen Han felt sore in his heart.When I was not an official, I was looking forward to being an official. I didn't know what it was like until I really became an official.

"Brother, there's no need. Even if there is no Xu family, Mingyu will have to leave sooner or later. Brother is a talent, so you can't delay because of Mingyu." Mingyu was very moved.

"Okay, now we are nothing but unfounded worries. The emperor is a wise emperor, so why would he doubt anything because of such a thing? There are so many powerful families in the mirror. Compared with others, the Xu family is far behind." Peng Cheng Seeing that the atmosphere was not very good, he said hastily.

Everyone also laughed, "Okay, Zixuan and Jinghan have been traveling all the way, and they haven't been able to take a good rest. Let's take a rest earlier, and we will meet again when we have time. We are all in the capital, so it is convenient to meet each other." Wen Han said After that, he led everyone away.

Jinghan and Zixuan sent these people away, then tidied up and went to rest. "I don't know what's going on at home? Changshun has brought someone to pick up the child. Counting the days, it's time to come in a few days, right?"

"Well, almost, we haven't seen Qingyuan and Qingyao for more than a year, and I miss them." Zixuan put his arms around Jinghan and comforted him, "Don't think about anything, take a good rest. We will return tomorrow I have to go and see our house, you have to worry about how to tidy up and arrange it."

Both of them were a little tired, and after a while, they fell into a deep sleep.

Zixuan went to the household department the next day, while Jinghan took people to the mansion bestowed by the emperor to tidy up.

After a busy day, Jinghan just came back from the new house, and before she could sit down for a rest, someone came in outside to report that Changshun had come.When Jing Han heard this, she couldn't sit still, her son and daughter had been away from her for so many days, she was really panicking.So he went out with people.

When she saw Chang Shun, Jing Han was a little stunned, because Chang Shun didn't have any son or daughter by her side.And Changshun looked a little embarrassed. "Changshun, what's going on? Where are the young master and young lady?"

"Ma'am, the young master and young lady didn't come, they are still in their hometown. The old man at home is seriously ill, and I'm afraid he will die. I hurried all the way, and finally arrived in the capital today." The old man Chang Shun said was referring to the Lin family. old man.

When Jinghan heard this, she felt her head buzzing, "Grandpa is seriously ill? Why is it like this? When the family sent someone to pick up Qingning a while ago, didn't they say it was fine?"

Jinghan hurriedly sent someone to bring Zixuan back, and the couple met and discussed it, and they had to go back.So the two split up, and Zixuan found Mingyu, then went to the palace to meet the emperor, and explained the matter.

Hearing this, the emperor couldn't help sighing, "Forget it, since your grandfather is critically ill, you should go back quickly. If you make it in time, you might be able to see the old man for the last time. It's just a pity that Ziwen is far in the northwest, so you may not be able to." We can catch up. I will send someone immediately, eight hundred miles, to see if I can get Ziwen to go back too."

So Zixuan and Jinghan packed up their things overnight, and rushed home with people early the next morning.Six days later, he finally returned home.

Seeing that Zixuan and his wife had returned, Lin Xingjia couldn't help feeling sad, "Go and see your grandfather, he is waiting for you. Where is Ziwen? Why didn't he come back?"

"Ziwen is in the northwest right now, so I'm afraid he won't be able to come back."

"Forget it, you husband and wife, go in and have a last look at your grandpa. He has not swallowed his breath, and he is waiting for you." The Xing family also understands that the northwest is too far away, and there is no way they can come back.

Zixuan and Jinghan hurried into the room, only to see the old man lying on the kang, he was already exhaling a lot of air, but not inhaling.Zixuan knelt in front of the kang and shouted loudly, "Grandpa, the unfilial grandson has come back to visit you."

Jinghan also knelt down and wept silently.

The old man seemed to have heard Zixuan's voice, he let out a long breath, and then tilted his head to the side.

Someone nearby who understood said, "The old man has already left."

There was a sudden cry in the house.
