After Li Ertai Taishan returned from Zen, Chang'an's New Year seemed to pass quickly, and it was the Qingming Festival in a blink of an eye, but Chang'an's Qingming was as the ancient poem said, "During the Qingming Festival, it rained a lot, and the pedestrians on the road wanted to break their souls." The continuous light rain brought gloom and cool breeze to Chang'an in March, and also made some officials feel a chill from the bottom of their hearts.

Some officials of the Tang Dynasty are indeed "wanting to break their souls" at this moment, they are like ants on a hot pot, anxious, frightened, hesitant, the investigation team of Dali Temple is now investigating everywhere in Chang'an, they are afraid that their corruption and bribery will be discovered by the investigators of Dali Temple.

Every time someone from the house visited, these officials panicked; Every time they hear some gossip, they will be rumored, and the grass and trees are all soldiers; Every time they go to the court parliament, they will be terrified, lest His Majesty will take them down in the court.

All the luxurious decorations in the house were hidden in the cellar, and all the gorgeous clothes they wore were replaced with coarse linen clothes, and they never dared to go to those luxurious areas of Chang'an during this time, because they were afraid that as soon as they went out, they would be arrested by the inspector and investigated......

Li Er was originally going to launch an anti-corruption storm in the court before the Qingming Festival, but the return of one person temporarily delayed his plan, this person was Zhang Liang, the governor of the Navy Division and the chief of the eastward expeditionary force.

Zhang Liang came back, and the time when he came back was a month and a half later than Li Ji, who was in charge of attacking the four eastern countries from the land, but the results of such a long time were also remarkable, this time, he used almost all the warships and ships, and plundered more than 100 huge sea ships from Baekje and Wa. In total, more than 119,000 captives were brought back.

Almost every sea ship is full. All kinds of jewelry utensils. Gold and silver were piled up in the cabins of the ships, and the captives brought back from the Baekje Wa Kingdom were all packed at the bottom of the cabins, and they had no room to move except for the necessities of life and sanitary places.

Zhang Liang told Li Er in the court that the capital of the Baekje Wa Kingdom had fallen under the siege of the city and plunder under the city of Chengguan, which was capable of fighting well, and now more than 3,000 Tang soldiers had been sent to occupy Yokohama and Osaka of the Wa State. And large-scale silver deposits have been discovered, which are being mined.

Li Er highly praised Zhang Liang's bandit spirit of "grabbing if you can, and taking a little more", and expressed his appreciation for the nearly 120,000 young and strong captives and gold and jewelry worth hundreds of thousands of yuan that Zhang Liang brought back, and even expressed that an imperial minister like Zhang Liang was an example for all ministers in the court to learn.

Originally, Zhang Liang's return had nothing to do with Xu Yang, but after Zhang Liang saw Li Er in the court, the first thing he did was not to go home, but to hurriedly bring a woman to Xujiazhuang......

"It's you?!" This was Xu Yang's reaction at first sight when he saw the Treasure Princess. Although it has been nine years, some things happened with this woman at the beginning. still left a deep impression on Xu Yang, so he could recognize the woman in front of him at a glance.

At this time, the eyes of the princess who came to Xujiazhuang have been filled with tears, nine years, the Xujiazhuang in front of you is still similar to nine years ago, the archway in front of the village is still there, there is no trace of old look, it can be seen that there are often people to wipe and care, a few small saplings in front of the village, now they have grown into a thigh-thick lush tree, this qiē is so familiar, and even almost exactly the same as what I saw in my dream.

Seeing Xu Yang's surprise, Zhang Liang smiled and nodded, it seems that the princess didn't lie to him, she was really Guiguzi's concubine.

Zhang Liang smiled and patted Xu Yang's shoulder, "Boy, Ben Jiang used to think that it was a blessing for you to marry Princess Silla, but now look at it, even the Empress of the Japanese Kingdom is your concubine, tsk, it's amazing." Zhang Liang laughed.

"What empress?" Xu Yang was also a little dazed, he didn't know that Empress Bao had become the queen of Japan.

"What are you pretending to be stunned with my brother." Zhang Liang smiled lewdly and patted Xu Yang's shoulder, "I made my belly bigger, I even gave birth to a child, and I still pretended not to understand with my brother." ”

"This ......" Xu Yang showed a puzzled expression, "Brother Zhang, what are you talking about?" ”

Continuing to show a wicked smile, Zhang Liang said in a smile: "Hey, okay, my brother won't disturb your family reunion, this time send your concubine back to the village, by the way, and your son, Nianqing, come and see your father." Zhang Liang beckoned to the door, and a somewhat frightened teenager entered the hall under the escort of two soldiers.

Looking at that face, Xu Yang was also stunned on the spot......

"Okay, no need to send it." Zhang Liang wiped his mouth, "It is said that the rarest thing in Chang'an is to eat a ghost meal in Xujiazhuang, which is true." The old man was about to bite his tongue off when he ate it. ”

"This time, Brother Zhang returned from an expedition, and his hard work was high, and it is not trivial for the younger brother to have a meal in the village."

"Haha, it is said that Guigu can be eloquent, and it is good to speak, my brother accepted it, okay, then my brother will not delay your family reunion, and I will say goodbye first."

"Brother Zhang will go slowly, and Liu Qi will send it off." ……

Sending Zhang Liang away, Xu Yang rubbed his head, he never thought that he would actually like to be a father, but his son is not someone else's, it is his own, just like that, Xu Yang is twenty years younger, it is like carved out of a mold.

Returning to the Zhuang Lord's Mansion from the front of the village, the banquet has ended, the servants are cleaning up the dishes on the table, Liu Mengli and Jin Shengman are sitting at the table, their memories of the Bao Huangdi are already very vague, they only remember that many years ago it seemed that the husband suddenly accepted a concubine room, and then it disappeared quickly, and the husband didn't say anything, this matter is over, but now I didn't expect to suddenly bring back a child back, and this child is Xu Yang's flesh and blood at a glance, the young man named Xu Nianqing is very curious, and keeps glancing at the young man.

The princess was a little restless, from beginning to end, Xu Yang didn't say a word to her, but kept entertaining Zhang Liang, she didn't know what Xu Yang's attitude was towards herself, she didn't expect to stay in Xujiazhuang, she just hoped that for the sake of her son's affection, the man in front of her could give their mother and son a place to live.

Entering the hall, the princess saw Xu Yang, and the uneasiness on her face was even more solemn, although she told Zhang Liang that she was Xu Yang's concubine, but what she didn't say was that she was kicked out by Xu Yang at the beginning, and she is now very worried that Xu Yang will ruthlessly drive their mother and son out of Zhuangzi...... "This child is mine?" Feeling that the atmosphere was a little awkward, Xu Yang pointed to the young man sitting next to the Empress Bao.

When the Empress Bao heard his words, tears suddenly welled up in her eyes, her eyes were slightly red, and she choked and nodded.

Although "Forehead ......" had been mentally prepared, but after hearing the affirmative answer, Xu Yang still felt a little embarrassed, he was happy to be a father and suddenly had such a big son, and he was not psychologically prepared at all.

Waving his hand, beckoning the young man to stand in front of him, Xu Yang carefully looked at the kid in front of him.

"Do you know Chinese?" Xu Yang asked.

"My mother has let me learn Chinese since I was a child." The young man said with some fear, raised his head at the same time, and asked curiously, "Are you my father?" ”

"Uh...... I'm afraid so. Xu Yang scratched his head.

"My mother has told me since I was a child, my father is a general of the Tang Kingdom, and he is still a god operator who can calculate tricks, are you right?" The boy seemed to be desperate to know the answer, and even ignored his fear.

Xu Yang raised his head and looked at the Empress Bao, she was already crying with joy at the moment, although her face was full of tears, but her expression was laughter.

Touching the young man's head, Xu Yang said lovingly: "Xu Nianqing, yes, it's a good name, I am the very powerful father in your mother's mouth, you and your mother, stay in Xujiazhuang from now on............

In the Liangyi Palace, the eldest grandson queen was breastfeeding her son with a loving face, and suddenly heard a eunuch's voice from outside the main hall, "Your Majesty has arrived~...... (To be continued......)
