Chapter 18: Leaving Beijing
"Okay, Chen'er, don't go out today, let's go back to Changlong with my mother in the afternoon." Qin Xianghua didn't know what Ye Xiaochen was thinking, so he explained.
"What? Mother, are we leaving? Qin Xianghua's words pulled Ye Xiaochen back from his thinking and shock, "Yes, this time my mother came to Kyoto, mainly to treat you, now that Chen'er is cured, you naturally have to go back, and the family affairs of the Xue Mansion will also be handed over to your grandfather to decide." Qin Xianghua looked at Ye Xiaochen with a smile on her face.
"Then mother, I'll go out for a while, and I'll be back soon, that ...... Mother, give me some more silver. Ye Xiaochen rubbed his hands, "Didn't I just give you two pieces of money, and it was gone so soon." Qin Xianghua frowned, "The child wants to buy some things for his father and eldest brother and sister-in-law, they don't go back to Kyoto all year round, I'll give some" Ye Xiaochen thought for a moment and said to Qin Xianghua.
Qin Xianghua looked at Ye Xiaochen, her face was much better, because the Ye family was away all the year round, and it was a march and a war, and there was not much industry, although the Tianwu royal family would allocate some from the treasury to the Ye family every year, but it was still stretched thin for the huge army, she was against extravagance and waste like Ye Yuntian and Ye Xianglong, except for some necessary expenses, the Ye Mansion was thrifty in the entire Tianwu Kingdom.
So after hearing Ye Xiaochen's words, I just felt that after this serious illness, Chen'er finally grew up, so he asked the housekeeper Ah Gui to take two pieces of money and give it to Ye Xiaochen, which has always been a thousand copper plates, packed in a brocade bag, heavy, Ye Xiaochen stuffed the money into his chest pocket and went out of Ye's mansion.
In fact, this time out, Ye Xiaochen wanted to know more things before returning to Changlong, in case of emergency, and the matter of Xue Mansion and Ye Mansion was even more important, or the gathering place of those three religions and nine streams, after a lot of inquiries, he got some information, but one of the gossips made Ye Xiaochen shout that the world is really small.
Qin Moqi, the little prince of Yongjing Palace, and Qin Tianxiong, the third prince of Tianwu Kingdom, competed in Zuifang Mansion and were jealous, and almost got into a fight, and finally Qin Moqi returned to the palace with a black face.
This gossip attracted Ye Xiaochen's attention, Qin Moqi turned out to be a little prince here, and at the same time, Qin Kaiyue, the king of Yongjing behind Qin Moqi, and the Qin family of the Tianwu royal family, some information about this huge family, Ye Xiaochen also remembered it in his heart, Ye Xiaochen sighed with a smile, and another person he knew appeared.
The situation of the Ye family, except for the extra brother, the rest are consistent with the situation in his reality, of course, Ye Xiaochen, who is too far away, did not understand, and the people in Kyoto did not understand, it was enough to understand the situation within three generations, and by the way, he also learned more about the Xue family.
The only regret is that Ye Xiaochen only knows the names of many people, but he has not seen his true face, if he meets in reality, he will have the same situation as when he met Xue Kun, but he is not right. But it doesn't matter, as long as you can continue to exist here, you will encounter it sooner or later, after all, here, your identity, and them, can be said to be in the same circle.
Ye Xiaochen, who achieved his goal, wandered around Kyoto City, bought a lot of things, and then returned to Ye Mansion.
After settling down the maids in the house, Ye Xiaochen, the second young master of Ye Mansion, Qin Xianghua, Mrs. Ye, and the housekeeper A Gui, the three of them got into the carriage back to Kyoto again.
The noise gradually disappeared, the speed of the car increased, but it also began to bumpy, Ye Xiaochen lifted the back curtain of the sedan chair, looking at the gradually distant Kyoto City, I don't know what kind of situation I will be when I come back next time.
Tenmu Kyoto Imperial Palace Tenmu Hall, which is the main palace of the emperor of the Tenmu Kingdom for more than a hundred years, is both a sleeping palace and a political palace, generally except for the early dynasty in the pilgrimage hall, most of the other time is in the Tenmu Palace, of course, the night is not counted.
At this time, in the Tianwu Palace, Qin Kaiyang, the Tianwu Emperor wearing a golden dragon robe, was reviewing the chapters, this Tianwu Emperor Qin Kaiyang looked like he was in his forties, and he was in the prime of life, in fact, he was actually forty-five years old, but he just looked young. He is the third son of the previous emperor Qin Youzhong, and Qin Kaiyue, the king of Yongjing, and Qin Kaichen, the king of Kangle, are his elder brothers.
At this time, a middle-aged man in his thirties walked into the Tianwu Palace, knelt on one knee, and did not make a sound, Qin Kaiyang quietly finished reading the recital in his hand and stamped the seal of God.
"How?" Qin Kaiyang spoke, not surprised.
"Qi Qi Sheng, the young lady of the Protector General's Mansion has already left Beijing with her young son" The middle-aged man raised his hands into fists above his head without raising his head, "How is the Xue family?" The sound was still unwavering.
"Xue Mansion has been undergoing major repairs recently, and it should be preparing for family affairs in advance"
"Find out Tutan's movements as soon as possible, okay, you can step down" Qin Kaiyang wrote a few words on the paper of the dragon case, one is Xue, one is Yang, and two are Tutan, and the center of this is a big leaf......
In the silent Tianwu Palace, only Emperor Qin Kaiyang of Tianwu was left, quietly looking at those words, and from time to time he went up to fill in a word and draw a line......
In the evening, Ye Xiaochen and Qin Xianghua ended their half-day bump, because they had already entered a huge and majestic city, here, called Changlong, was a city and a fortress.
Because it is a city, it is full of people and traffic, and because it is a fortress, it is a complex with high walls, majestic and long.
All of this is the handwriting of General Ye Xianglong, forty years ago, Tutan's invasion began, the Tianwu army began to build a fortress in the dangerous Changlong Canyon of the Kaze Mountains, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack, blocking Tutan's expansion and invasion, but General Ye Lao lasted five years, and built this Changlong Fortress into a huge city with high walls on all sides, the newly built Changlong City, empty and boundless, the garrison of 100,000 troops, in this city also tightly only occupies less than one-tenth of the position, but after more than 30 years of continuous development, Today, it is a huge gem that can be self-sufficient.
Ten years ago, the Tutan Kingdom withdrew, and Emperor Tianwu recalled the Ye family and sent someone to take over Changlong, but three years later, the Tutan army attacked again, this time the invasion was more fierce than before, and it was almost invaded by the Tutan army, but even so, the Tianwu army was also a loss of troops and heavy losses.
The Ye family was reactivated, returned to Changlong, and took charge of the Changlong army, General Ye lived up to expectations, once again forced the Tutan army out of the Changlong Canyon, and since then the confrontation with the Tutan army has lasted for seven years.
As for the city lord appointed by Emperor Tianwu, it was in the second year of General Ye Lao's reign in charge of Changlong, he died of illness, for some reason, Emperor Tianwu did not send anyone to take over, but there was also no Ye family to take over the position of city lord!
