Chapter 123: Bringing Closer Together

"Erchen knows, Erchen will live up to expectations." Chang Yi said sonorously, since he made this choice, he will definitely pay the price for this choice.

"There is also a treacherous battlefield, and I hope you return safely." When the emperor said a word, his voice was gentle and his face was much kinder, this was not an emperor's instructions to the monarch and ministers, but a father's instructions and expectations to his son.

Chang Yi was a little distracted, he had grown so big, it was the first time he had heard such words, and he said softly for a long time, "My son will definitely return safely." ”

Because Chang Yi was going to the frontier to fight, Liu Congwen and Lu Qingyi were talking with him at night that night, so he should also pay attention to it when he was in the frontier, and it was inevitable that no one would do anything.

"Since you have chosen to go, you must do this well. Only in this way will the emperor's opinion of you be changed. Liu Congwen looked at Chang Yi and instructed.

"I know that." He is not a child after all, and he knows to take responsibility for his choices.

Lu Qingyi looked at Chang Yi with a serious face, and said for a long time before he said, "This time, you have to be careful in everything, the frontier is not as good as the capital." ”

Chang Yi gave Lu Qingyi a look and didn't speak, but he understood.

On the day of the expedition, Lu Qingyi and Shen Xi both went to see him off outside the city gate, Chang Yi was wearing armor and riding on a horse, and he really looked like a general.

Shen Xi usually looks elegant when he sees Chang Yi, but now that he is wearing armor, he has a different flavor.

Chang Yi and the soldiers left in a majestic manner, and Lu Qingyi and Shen Xi watched for a long time before turning around and returning to the capital.

"Chang Yi went to the frontier, will the second prince and the crown prince just give up?" Shen Xi looked at Lu Qingyi and asked, she knew that when Chang Yi went to the frontier, he must have moved the benefits of Chang Qian and Chang Wen.

"I won't just give up, but in the current situation, if Chang Yi doesn't rely on this expedition to make the emperor and ministers trust him, then his future road will only be more difficult."

Since ancient times, those who can be appointed as emperors are all powerful, after all, no one would hope that their dynasty would be defeated by the next generation so easily, and those who can sit on the throne must have strength and courage.

After Shen Xi returned to the bookstore, he heard that some ministers were discussing Chang Yi's expedition to the frontier today, and they were all surprised by Chang Yi's sudden proposal to share the country's worries, after all, although Chang Yi read a lot in the past and was also smart, he never cared about the affairs of the court, and now he will take on this matter himself, which is somewhat surprising.

Shen Xi originally wanted to hear that, but she thought about it again, maybe if she had a good relationship with these officials, maybe it would be helpful to Lu Qingyi and them.

So Shen Xi went up with the tea and chatted with them.

"Didn't you hear that these three princes are usually people who don't love the court? How could you suddenly think about going to the frontier to fight? Besides, with his temperament, can he endure hardship? Shen Xi really pretended not to know anything, and went up to ask them blankly.

"Who knows, this Lord Liu vigorously recommended the third prince in the court, and I am afraid that he was also forced to agree to go." One of the officials said after taking a sip of tea.

"You don't care if it's under pressure, at least everyone has gone, unlike the prince, he was very active when recommending ministers, I heard that the prince was going to go into battle in person, he didn't say a word, these three princes don't fight or grab, and they can share the emperor's worries, it's really good." Another official whispered.

"Indeed, now that the two princes and the crown prince are fighting fiercely, it is indeed rare to see such a third prince, and it is recommended by Lord Liu, presumably he will definitely be able to win a battle and come back." Lazy people listen to books

They said a lot of things in the court, and Shen Xi almost heard a rough idea.

Now there are still some small officials in the court who are not assigned, and there are some important ministers who are not assigned, but now they have a good appreciation for Chang Yi, although he usually does not fall in love with the court, but he is very approachable on weekdays, which also adds a lot of points.

If he can come back from a victorious battle on the frontier this time, his position in the court will be somewhat more solid.

In the evening, Lu Qingyi said that she was going to take Shen Xi to a place, but Shen Xi was very curious about what else she hadn't gone to in the capital.

"Do you really think that in the capital, there are bright areas everywhere?" Lu Qingyi looked at Shen Xi and said softly, "In the capital, there are also people living at the bottom. ”

When Lu Qingyi said this, Shen Xi became more and more curious.

Xu is Shen Xi has not taken a serious look at the capital at night for a long time, but when he came today, he had a different feeling.

At night, the capital is the most lively, whether it is a green building in a prosperous area, or a restaurant, or a small roadside vendor, selling candy people, or selling small objects and jewelry. There is something new in every place, which makes Shen Xi feel happy, after all, for a girl, the favorite thing is to wander around in her spare time.

But Lu Qingyi's purpose is obviously not here.

Shen Xi didn't know how long he had been following Lu Qingyi before he stopped in a place where there were a lot of people.

Looking at the scene here, there are cockfighters, jugglers, and snacks, those snacks are very familiar to Shen Xi, she used to like to eat roadside stalls.

Lu Qingyi walked to a place to buy ice cubes, bought an ice cube with sugar, and handed it to Shen Xi, "It's hot to eat this to quench your thirst." ”

Shen Xi looked at the bowl with ice cubes, it was quite chic, she looked at the ice, it was a bit like modern ice cream, especially in the summer.

Shen Xi looked around, "I didn't expect there to be such a place in the capital." ”

This is completely different from the capital she has seen before, she didn't expect that in such a prosperous place in the capital, there will be such a small place. Although it looks disorganized, the faces of the people here have a gentle smile, which is different from the indifference of the capital.

"There's a lot of fun to do here, and I like to come here when I don't have anything to do." Lu Qingyi also likes this kind of place, compared to those places in the capital that seem to be prosperous, he prefers here, and it is easy to walk.

Shen Xi glanced at Lu Qingyi, "You are used to living a good life, so you will naturally think that this place is good, but you don't know that people here may not earn as much money as you have in one meal on weekdays." ”

Shen Xi understands that kind of poor life too well, the days she and Shen Fang lived in the past were not called days, they only cared about planting crops all year round, the harvest was not good, and after paying the taxes and grain, she had little left, and she was such a scoundrel in the mountains, life was simply hell.

They passed by a place where a poorly dressed man was setting up a stall telling fortunes for others.

There are also quite a few queues.
