Xu Ershu and Xu Lingyue, aware of her abnormality, turn to look out of the hall.

In the night, Xu Qi'an, dressed in a green robe, with a jar of wine in his hand, went to the halo of lanterns under the eaves.

Step further, then cross the threshold and enter the inner hall.

"Rather feast!"

Joy came from Xu Er Shu's face. He suddenly got up to greet his nephew.

Aunt and Lingyue also smile, but the former immediately snorts and takes a cold posture, while the latter is happy like a little girl, and gets up with her father to welcome elder brother.

"Second uncle, I'm back."

Xu Qian said with a smile.

When the wanderer comes back, a sentence "I'm back" is enough.

"Just come back." Uncle Xu patted his nephew on the shoulder, took the wine from his hand, turned to his aunt's maid, lu'e, and said:

"Prepare dishes and chopsticks for Dalao."

Xu Lingyue seizes the opportunity and shouts softly:

"Big brother ~"

The tone was quite light, showing the girl's happy mood at the moment.

Xu Qi'an looks at his elder sister with a gentle smile

"I haven't seen you for a while. You look more beautiful."

Perfectly inherited the beauty of her aunt, she is outstanding in appearance, elegant and refined.

The smile on Xu Lingyue's face is sweeter and she complains softly:

"I don't know if I'll send someone to inform you in advance when I return to the government today, so that I can make some of your favorite dishes and drinks."

They immediately sat down at the table. After lu'e got the bowl and chopsticks, Xu Qi'an had a drink with ER Shu and chatted about Er Lang, who was far away in Yongzhou.

"Ningyan, since you have returned to the capital, you must know the news of Qingzhou's fall."

Xu Er Shu took a sip of wine and said:

"I think you must have visited Erlang in Yongzhou. Your aunt has been worried about Erlang. I told her that even if Erlang really had a chance, you would have come back and informed us

Xu Qian's expression froze

"Qingzhou has been lost for some time. Didn't Er Shu write to inquire about Er Lang?"

Xu Er Shu's expression also froze.

My uncle and nephew looked at each other in silence.

Although it's a bit out of date, what's the matter with this familiar sense of seeing? I always feel that something similar has happened before..... Xu Qi'an pondered for a moment and said:

"It's OK. The three great scholars of Yunlu academy are all in Yongzhou. They will take care of Erlang."

Xu Er Shu can only comfort himself in this way:

"That's right."

At this time, Xu Lingyue found a chance to cut in and said:

"Big brother, why do you smell like powder?"

Smelling speech, Xu Er Shu immediately looked at his nephew with the look of "no hair on his mouth, no firm work".

"Why, is it so heavy?" Xu Qi'an was surprised and said calmly:

"Just now I had a drink with several colleagues in the watchman's Yamen. There were girls at the table. But I just wanted to come back to see my second uncle and aunt, and my sister. I'll come back after a short sit."

Xu Lingyue "Oh" a, exhibition Yan a smile, very satisfied with the answer.

The main reason is that she didn't buy a green orange in the evening, and Ling Yin was not at home, so she couldn't watch her face as she was eating a green orange.

As soon as Xu Lingyue interrupted, the family forgot about Erlang again.

Xu Pingfeng pondered for a moment and said:

"It's said that Princess Chang is going to ascend the throne."

Xu Qi'an explained the general situation, including the reason why he must abolish Yongxing.

"It's stormy."

Xu Ershu sighed

"What's your plan after Princess Chang ascends the throne?"

Xu Qi'an thought for a moment and thought carefully

"I'll go to Qingzhou first, meet Xu Pingfeng, and formally draw a line with him to compare life and death."

This will be his official status as a chess player, on behalf of Dafeng, on behalf of himself, to Yunzhou and Xu Pingfeng.

Xu Pingzhi's face was complicated, with sadness, helplessness, sobs and pain

"Fratricidal, father and son kill each other, why..."

Xu Qi'an shakes his head

"Second uncle, he is not my father, you are my father.

"Between me and him, we have to live and die. He will not let me go and I will not let him go. I'll go after him to the ends of the earth and never die. "

He poured wine for Xu Pingzhi

"There's no way out for Xu Pingfeng. He knows I won't let him go. Of course, so do I

My aunt said:

"I'll ask the clan to cross out his name and expel the Xu clan."

My aunt must have supported my nephew without hesitation. Although this nephew is disgusting and can't speak, she raised her baby after all.

Xu Pingfeng is her husband's elder brother, not her.

"Thank you, auntie."

Xu Qi'an seldom said a few words, and then said:

"Second uncle, I'm still a younger brother and a younger sister in Yunzhou. They came to Beijing with the Yunzhou mission this time to disgust me.

"Now I'm in charge of the sky."

Now I tell the second uncle about Xu yuanshuang and Xu Yuanhuai, including the intersection of Yongzhou.

"It doesn't sound bad. At least it's the blood of my Xu family." Xu Ershu said earnestly:

"Bring them back when you have time. Don't abuse them."

Xu Lingyue suddenly said:

"Dad, how can elder brother abuse them? Even if they are hostile to elder brother and want to kill him with the Yunzhou rebellion party, they will fight against him everywhere. But even if elder brother is wronged, he won't hurt them even if he is close to them."

Xu Pingfeng was about to nod his head when he was startled by his aunt's angry clapping on the table.

"Bah, it's just two bad guys. Why do you bring them back?"

My aunt said angrily, "don't bring it back to the house."

"You are so angry..." Xu Er Shu tries to reason with his wife.

Xu Qi'an looked at his elder sister and said:

"Well, there's no need to quarrel because of them. Second uncle, drink."

Xu Lingyue said with a smile:

"Big brother drinks."

Pour the wine for him.

You see that sister from Yunzhou only wants to hurt you. Unlike me, she only loves big brother.

.........

It's very early in the day.

In the Imperial Palace, the drum music is singing together, gathering together the grand movement.

First of all, the Minister of rites led the ministers to offer sacrifices to heaven and earth for the new emperor.

After that, Xinjun wore mourning clothes to sacrifice to the ancestors of Taimiao.

After the completion of these two steps, the grand ceremony of accession to the throne will be considered as a prelude.

The Minister of rites led the officials of rites to the temple of heaven, the agricultural altar and the imperial temple to inform the gods and the spirits of the emperors that the new emperor was about to succeed.

When he returned, the ceremony and music were performed, and the magnificent bell reverberated outside the Jinluan hall.

East Palace.

Huaiqing put on the big fur crown under the service of the palace ladies.

The structure of this uniform is very complicated. It is made up of Tiao, Zhongdan, Daqiu, Xuanyi and Xiaoshang. The crown is decorated with gold, and the beads are twelve.

The coat is painted with six patterns of sun, moon, stars, mountains, dragons and insects. The lower garment is embroidered with six patterns of algae, fire, rice, Zongyi, Fu, and Fu, which are 12 chapters in total, so it is also called twelve chapter garment.

After dressing up, the two maids moved to the same height of the bronze mirror, placed in front of Huaiqing.

In the bronze mirror, the long princess is thin and pink, and the long eyebrow is heavy, which highlights her heroic spirit.

She was a cool and noble woman. Now she is wearing twelve chapter clothes and twelve Diaoyuan crowns. She is full of splendor and dignity.

Even the grand maid in the palace, who was always smiling and talking, did not dare to breathe at the moment. She looked down like a quail.

There are few women in the world who are so domineering.

An official of the Ministry of rites stepped into the gate of the East Palace and said respectfully through the curtain:

"Your Highness, the time has come."

Huaiqing, surrounded by the palace maids and eunuchs, left the East Palace and went to the Jinluan palace with the sound of the grand bell and drum.

Crossing the Jinshui bridge and the square, Huaiqing walks on the Danbi. Looking at the Jinluan hall in front, you can see the throne in the magnificent hall.

What flashed through her mind was Yuan Jing, who was suspicious in nature and could not tolerate brilliant children in power; It was Wei Yuan, a great power hand with white temples; He is the guardian God of Dafeng; It is Yongxing who is weak and lacks courage.

When she waved her sleeves and sat on the throne, there was no one in her eyes.

All gone!

It's her era. No, it's her and Xu Qi'an era.

She and he are the two people who stand at the peak of power.

Under the guidance of the officials of the Ministry of rites, the civil and military officials enter from the Meridian Gate, cross the Jinshui bridge, and stand on both sides of the royal road orderly according to their positions.

After that, Qian Qing, the great scholar and chief assistant of Wuying hall, took the imperial edict to the throne, handed it to the Minister of rites, took it to the lower level, and then handed it to the Minister of rites, put it in yunpan, and sent it to the eunuch of rites.

The eunuch, who was wearing a red boa robe, took over the cloud plate and read the imperial edict to the officials

"Zhao said

"In the past, Emperor Gaozu, long feiji River, flood swept the area, Jingshan mountain in the East, Buddhism in the west, benevolent wind and righteous voice, concussion Liuhe, swept the stubborn disease of the Zhou Dynasty, and returned the health of the whole world. Six hundred years, the world Chengping, brilliant achievements, restored to the emperor.

"Elder brother Yongxing, who was born as a commoner, followed the great cause, was unfilial, weak, disrespectful to his ancestors, not loving the people, flattering and rebelling against the party, and the people and the gods were indignant.

"I am a woman, and I am blessed by heaven, and the spirit of my ancestors, so I was ordered to be in danger, to be wise and virtuous. In this article, the Minister of military affairs, Bai Si, and all the common people, all agreed to persuade me to come forward and respect me as the emperor.

"Mian complied with the public's request and became emperor on January 17, with the year number of" Huaiqing ". When great rites have been established, all of them should be in line with the common administration, and should be carried out at the same time. "

Let's go!

On both sides of the royal road, civil and military officials knelt down and cried out:

Long live the emperor

The voice is like a tsunami.

On the throne, Huaiqing overlooks all the officials.

...........

Star Tower, eight diagrams platform.

Mu Nanzhi, dressed in a long dress of lotus color, stands on the edge of the Bagua platform and gently takes off the bracelet of her right wrist.

The wind blows up her skirt and green silk. She is as graceful as a fairy in Yaotai.

She raised her right arm, her sleeve slid down, her white wrist frosted.

The green jade finger is like a flower. Mu Nanzhi closes her eyes and says in a low voice:

"I wish flowers bloom in the capital and fragrance fill the world!"

In the void invisible to human eyes, the seed of life overflows from her body and floats with the wind.

Floating across the river, willows sprout.

Floating across the courtyard, the courtyard is colorful; Floating through the streets and alleys, the plants grow wildly and flowers bloom in an instant.

Overlooking from high altitude, you can see the colorful colors, which are blooming everywhere in the capital. The fragrance of the flowers is floating, and you are relaxed and happy.

.........

According to the historical records of later generations:

In the first year of Huaiqing, on January 17, the empress ascended the throne. In a flash, the flowers bloom in the capital, the fragrance is ten li, and the auspicious omen comes from the sky. The people in the capital are overjoyed. They go out of their doors, kneel down in the street and shout long live.

What is not recorded in historical books is that on the day when the city was full of flowers, Xu Yinluo spent a whole day arranging flowers in the star watching tower.

.........

Mu Nanzhi was black in front of her eyes and fell down.

Instead of falling to the ground, she fell into Xu Qi'an's arms.

"Have a rest!"

Xu Qi'an hugged the old aunt's waist, and felt that the best thing in the world was just like this, and only like this.

Mu Nanzhi was lying in his arms, dizzy and murmuring:

"It's all, it's all your fault. It's killing me..."

Her half coquettish half angry appearance, can soften man's bone.

Xu Qi'an raised her hand and gently kneaded her eyebrows

"There are thousands of beauties in the world, but the flower god can't have one or two."

Mu Nanzhi frowned

"Don't talk so much. You're wearing your mouth out. I won't be working with you again. After helping you to be promoted to the second grade, we'll get rid of each other. If you force me again, I'll become a monk. "

Xu Qi'an can't tell whether she is proud or unforgettable, which leads to her psychological shadow.

"I know, I know!"

He picked up his beautiful 40 year old aunt and walked down the stairs to leave the gossip platform.

Mu Nanzhi is not a big problem, it is a serious consumption, some Qi deficiency exhausted, so the whole body is uncomfortable.

The spirit of the immortal tree is still awaking. The power she can use is limited. The operation of flowers blooming all over the city is somewhat reluctant for mu Nanzhi.

"Is it still hard?"

Xu Qi'an poured a glass of warm water for her and put some Qi into it.

Mu Nanzhi was dizzy and said:

"I want to rest..."

"Double practice, double practice can quickly restore the spirit." Xu Qian took the opportunity to propose.

He is not fooling. When Qi deficiency is exhausted, relying on double cultivation can recover quickly, which is much faster than natural recovery.

"No, you, if you touch me, I'll become a monk." Mu Nanzhi shook his head and spat

"It's shameless."

She was lying on the bed with a limp side. She pedaled her feet a few times. She seemed to want to kick off her embroidered shoes, but she failed.

Xu Qi'an grabs her feet and helps push off her shoes and socks.

"I'll pinch it for you. It'll be much better..."

"Just pinch your feet, don't try to do anything else."

"What kind of person am I?"

"Well, well, take it easy..."

..........

Yunlu Academy.

After two days of fasting, Zhao shouzhai took a bath today, put on a brand-new robe, combed his hair meticulously and put on a Confucian crown.

His white beard was carefully trimmed with a razor.

All of a sudden, the whole person took on a new look, which was very different from the previous free and uninhibited image of crazy Confucianism.

Zhao Shou takes out a bamboo bookcase from the dusty cabinet. He carefully wipes the dust on the bookcase with a sweat towel, carries it behind him and leaves Yunlu Academy.

It's just like when I went to Yunlu academy to study with it on my back.

After thousands of sails, he seems to have returned to his youth.

On the official road to the capital, there came the sound of reading books:

"...... Young and young must study diligently, articles can stand on their own feet, and Zhu Zigui is full of scholars..... Don't be a Taoist or a Confucianist, reading is worthy of others...."

..........

When mu Nanzhi woke up, it was dark. There was no wax in the room.

It's getting dark? Sleeping so long? In a daze, she sat up and supported her forehead with her hand. After more than ten seconds, her faint thoughts became clear, and she remembered the practice of a flower in the daytime.

I didn't expect to recover so quickly..... Mu Nanzhi felt that in addition to her dizziness, she was in excellent physical condition, and her Dantian was warm, like embracing a stove.

Just as she was about to lift the quilt, she suddenly noticed something was wrong and her back was chilly. Then she found that she was not wearing a piece of silk and her dress had been stripped clean.

Then, I think of what happened after I went back to my room with Xu Qi'an.

Pinch your feet, pinch them, pinch them to your legs, and then... For no reason at all, I had a double repair with him.

"Shameless." Mu Nanzhi took out the pillow on his back and hit it on the ground angrily

"Is this pillow still sleeping?"

She lifted the quilt out of bed, smeared her hands on the floor beside the bed for a long time, and finally felt the skirt and put it on her body, which made her feel wet at the bottom of her thighs.

Huashen is a clean person and a lazy woman. At the thought of taking a bath by himself, his anger goes up.

After putting on her skirt, she fumbled to the table and lit a candle to dispel the darkness.

The room is quiet, Bai Ji is not there, the broken knife is not there, and the pagoda is not there, which makes mu Nanzhi guess that the dog man may still be in the sky supervisor.

She lit the candles in the room one by one, went around to the screen, and looked through the bright candlelight. The bath bucket was full of water, clean and clear. It was definitely not the water they had soiled last time.

Mu Nanzhi raised the corner of her mouth slightly, raised her face quickly, and hummed:

"Smelly man, still have a little conscience..."

...........

The sky and the earth.

Sitting in front of Zhong Li, Xu Qi'an said suspiciously:

"Are you sure that as long as I knock enough times, I can get the card of the supervisor?"

Zhong Li sat down in front of him to make sure that he was taller than Xu Qi'an

"The random life hammer has something to do with the number of Qi and the pattern of life. In the teacher's weapon refining notes, it is also said that if Qi is added to the body, beating it can open the orifices. So it must be for you. "

"But I haven't changed anything except being a brothel prostitute, Wu Dalang and a scholar." Xu Qi'an frowned.

Zhong Li whispered:

"It's not the point. The point is the teacher's purpose. What's the purpose of his life hammer? It'll enlighten you, but you're a second-class product. There's no need to enlighten you at all. "

With that, she tilted her head and looked like you.

PATA ~ Xu Qi'an's fingers were on her forehead, laughing and scolding

"Are you testing my reasoning?"

He immediately restrained his smile, considered for a moment, and analyzed:

"Although JianZheng has made a blunder, with his wisdom, he will surely play some cards just in case. Ordinary people know to prepare for a rainy day, let alone him.

"Well, if Dafeng doesn't have him, the most fatal short board is the lack of top fighting power. It's not hard to get out of prison. There must be a way to make up for the disparity in fighting power between the two sides.

"The random life hammer is related to the number of Qi

The more rational the thinking is, the more clear it is. Suddenly, a flash of light comes into Xu Qi'an's mind, just like a thunderbolt splitting into his brain.

He looked at the wooden hammer in Zhong Li's hand, and his excited body began to tremble.

He knew the real use of the hammer.

...........

PS: Prince Yan is the fourth prince, not the sixth prince. I made mistakes in the previous chapters, so I changed it back. So you find that one moment is the sixth prince, and the other is the fourth prince.
