In the evening, Xiao Cong said very sourly: "Seventeen treats my sister better than my brother." ”

Shen Qingyi was a little speechless, Xiao Suizhi, how old are you, and you still eat this kind of vinegar? glanced at him coldly, "Ah Yan invited you to go, can you go?" ”

Xiao Cong coughed, of course he couldn't go, what did the eldest son mean when he went to visit the garden of his father's concubine's room?

"It's attitude, it's a matter of attitude......" he said sourly.

Shen Qingyi didn't bother to pay attention to him.

A few days later, it was Xiao Yan's literature class, Xiao Cong was still very busy, and Shen Qingyi came to teach her history class. When talking about the financial reform of the Zhaozong Dynasty, when gold and silver coins were used as circulation, Xiao Cong came back with a snowy body.

After warming up his body in front of the charcoal tripod and changing into a soft light fur, Xiao Cong sat on the small couch and drank a cup of tea, and asked Shen Qingyi with a smile where he had taught. The husband and wife dismantled each other's financial reform of the Zhaozong Dynasty, which is known as the "Zhaoxuan Reform", and the two had the same views on the general direction, but they had different views on the regulations of individual changes, which made Xiao Yan listen to it with relish, and felt that the boring reform decree was not so boring.

Emperor Zhaozong Xuan is the eleventh emperor of the Tang Dynasty, but also the fourth empress, her greatest achievement during her reign is to reform the Tang Dynasty's ill finances, reign for 20 years, the treasury from the early days of the succession to less than 10 million to 180 million, the city's wall system was broken, the city was full of trees, the status of craftsmen and merchants was improved, commerce and trade were unprecedentedly prosperous, and the maritime trade reached as far as the Great Food Sea, known as "Zhaoxuan Prosperous Era". Shen Qingyi believed that the Zhaoxuan Dynasty was the best time for the people of Limin, and his evaluation of Zhaozong was even higher than that of other emperors. Xiao Cong admired Emperor Sejongwen more, who reformed the imperial examination, advocated Confucianism, and Guangxing Academy. As for Xiao Yan, it must be Emperor Gao Zongwu's first.

Interestingly, all three are empresses.

Xiao Cong is not surprised by this, as an ancestor of the Xiao family said: "To become a male emperor, as long as you have the blood of the eldest son, it is enough; To become an empress, it is not enough to have blood, it must be the first to be outstanding. "Therefore, it is not surprising that the empress of the Tang Dynasty is better than most male emperors.

After the history lesson, Xiao Cong talked about the recent situation in Tibet.

The envoys of the Tang Dynasty had reached an armistice agreement with the envoys of the Qingtang Dynasty in Tibet, and the Tang Dynasty received half of the Qingtang and the area east of the Mangkang River east of the Zajia Zangbo Mountains, as well as a discount of 1.5 million yuan in gold and silver. According to the sage's will, this 1.5 million yuan will be allocated to Hexi 70% as a compensation for military expenses and a reward for victory, which makes the Hexi generals who regret not winning the entire Qingtang feel somewhat satisfied.

Among them, the area east of the Mangkang River could not be fulfilled until Kelsang Dama entered the Luo and officially became the Tubo Zampu.

Xiao Yan couldn't help asking, "Then what if Kelsang Dama fails?" "Isn't the area east of the Mangkang River a dead letter?

Xiao Cong smiled, "If Kelsang Dama is defeated, there will be another half of Qingtang." ”

Xiao Yan suddenly understood that if Kelsang Dama was defeated, the Hexi army would cross the Zajia Zangbo Mountain, accounting for the other half of the Qingtang, no matter how it was calculated, the Tang Dynasty would not suffer.

Shen Qingyi glanced at Xiao Cong.

Xiao Cong picked up the teacup, and the curling tea covered his deep eyes: Datang's plan is not just a few pieces of territory, although the saint is old, this ambition has not waned.

***

The days have turned over the year, and it has come to the first month of the twenty-seventh year of Changzhi.

Xiao Yan is still practicing martial arts diligently, she has not forgotten the goal of "defeating Xiao Huaizhong", and now she has just taken the first step to defeat him. Therefore, this year's Shangyuan Night Lantern Festival, Xiao Yan still did not leave the house. She wrote "Taishang Yuqing Sutra" under the lamp, and Shang Qing leaned on the couch to read "Strange Tales of the East China Sea". The study room was very quiet, only the sound of pen and ink writing and the occasional sound of turning pages, compared with the jubilation of the whole Hezhou City, it was a quiet world isolated from the world.

Xiao Yan felt very peaceful, and cherished the moment with her mother more than ever before - out of February, she was going to Jingnan Army.

February 15 is Xiao Yan's birthday, and she turns fifteen years old on this day.

If it is an ordinary girl, when she reaches the age of fifteen, she must perform the ceremony, which means that she is an adult and can get married.

However, the scholar family generally gives their daughters a ceremony after the marriage date, because according to the "Rites", "a woman is allowed to marry, and she is called a word", which means that after a woman is allowed to marry, she will perform a ceremony and take the word, and if she is not allowed to marry, she will be 20 years old and Lu.

The girls of the Tang family are generally seventeen to twenty years old before they can make a ceremony, because most of the marriage dates are at this age, and there are a few people like Shen Qingyi who are fifteen years old. If it is a married girl, it is not possible to perform the ceremony, and like the son, the crown ceremony at the age of twenty means to become an adult and bear the responsibilities of the family.

Of course, Xiao Yan is a crown salute, but Erlang is going to take words at the age of fifteen.

Because fifteen is the year of hair tie, the "Book of Rites" says "tie your hair and go to university, learn great arts, and perform great festivals", and the father should give his son words and make up his mind.

Xiao Yan, as Xiao Yan's third son, of course wants to take words.

Xiao Yu has been flipping through "Shuowen" since the first month, writing this dissatisfied, and writing that, stacked a stack of words and paper, Xiao Qing, who served the pen, felt anxious for Ah Lang, those words have a very good meaning, I don't know what Ah Lang wants to take for Seventeen Lang Jun.

It wasn't until February 14 that Xiao Yu settled down and showed it to Princess Anping.

"Yuezhi?" Princess Anping thought for a while and laughed, "This word is good, and you will be happy for a lifetime." ”

This word expresses Xiao Yu's expectations for Xiao Yan, not expecting her to become a dragon and a phoenix, just hoping to be happy all her life.

"It's really pitiful for the hearts of parents all over the world." Princess Anping decided not to give Xiao Jingxi a face this time, although there is a question mark over whether he is the seventeenth biological father, but Xiao Yu, as a father, is still remarkable.

On February 15, the pure white jade plaque engraved with "Yuezhi" was sent to Jingyuan by Xiao Huaizhong.

This is the tradition of the Lanling Xiao family, the engraved name is the gold medal, the engraved word is the jade plate, also known as the "golden jade name", symbolizing the children of the family such as real gold and perseverance, such as white jade noble, which is a kind of meaning and an expectation. All families that have been inherited for hundreds of years have a good tradition, showing the glory of the family from all aspects, and what kind of people the children of the family should become in order to continue the glory of the family, which is reflected in the family tradition and education.

Xiao Yan was very happy to get the name card, she liked the word "Yuezhi", because she felt that "Huanyue" was very vibrant, compared to the fourth brother's Suizhi and Xiao Shishi's Shenzhi, it was much more vivid and vivid.

She showed the nameplate to Xiao Cong, who felt a little strange after listening to her explanation, well, the teenager's thoughts are always different.

"Are you ready?" Xiao Cong asked her.

There are still more than ten days before Xiao Yan will go to the Jingnan Army.

Xiao Cong made a list for Xiao Yan, which ones to bring, and asked Shen Qingyi to add them. Shen Qingyi raised his eyebrows after reading it, are you joining the army or moving, and he cut two-thirds of the pen. The list that Xiao Yan saw had been streamlined, and it still made the corners of her mouth twitch, this is the posture of loading three carriages?

Xiao Yan's outfit in Qingning Courtyard has nothing to prepare, mainly because the preparation of Chenghe Courtyard is too fine, Shang Qing saw the list she brought back and directly folded it, saying "It's up to your brother and sister-in-law to prepare." Qi Niang focused on preparing several large packets of medicinal soup powder for her, all the medicinal materials were crushed to make powder, and there were also a few bottles of sunflower water pills, "Control the sunflower water period, each pill is extended for three days, don't eat too much at a time, you know." Qi Niang squeezed her eyebrows and smiled. Xiao Yan said in her heart, what do she know, but she was embarrassed to ask, she had been shocked by Qi Niang's taking out this strange medicine.

February 27 was Xiao Yan's last literary class, and Xiao Cong and Shen Qingyi were both in the study.

Xiao Yan stepped forward and saluted, "Brother, sister." Seeing his brother's expression, he couldn't help asking, "Is there something going on today?" ”

Xiao Cong had a happy look on his face and said, "I have asked my father to agree to inspect the military of Zhubian Prefecture and leave in five days." ”

Xiao Cong is now a soldier of the Governor's Mansion to participate in the military, and this position is in charge of the selection of military attachés, armor battles, gate guards, and beacon stations, and the inspection of the Hexi Army is also one of his duties.

When Shen Qingyi heard Xiao Cong talk about it last night, he realized that the purpose of Xiao Cong's trip was not only to inspect the military, but to show his face in the army. He has been ill for 21 years, although he has recovered from illness and has been registered as a son, but the impression of the foreign state Shishu is still sick and weak, and he has no prestige in the Hexi Army. Compared with his father, who is both civil and military, Xiao Cong must make more efforts to master the Hexi Army in the future.

Xiao Yan was surprised and said, "Brother is also going to travel?" He looked at Shen Qingyi again, "Is my sister going too?" ”

Xiao Cong smiled and said: "This is not only to patrol the army, but also to visit the families of the state, and your sister is naturally going to go." "He can't receive the ladies in the backyard.

Of course, there is also the hidden reason why Xiao Yu is not worried about Xiao Cong's body and needs Shen Qingyi, a disease doctor, to accompany him, which is that he can't be known to outsiders.

Xiao Yan looked at his brother, and then at Shen Qingyi, with a worried expression, "I'm going to leave in five days." I will only be able to come back after the Chinese New Year. ”

Xiao Cong smiled and said, "Father said, let you go with us, and your sister and I will send you to the Jingnan Army." ”

"Huh? It's true? This surprise made Xiao Yan almost jump up, and said excitedly, "Great! ”

Xiao Cong told his father: "My father said, let you take a walk before joining the army, take a look, see more people, see more things, gain more experience, increase knowledge, and only then can you do things in the future." ”

"Huh?" Xiao Yan opened his eyes in disbelief, and then his crystal eyes gradually lit up, "Father really said that?" ”

"Of course!" Xiao Cong's elegant eyebrows and eyes overflowed with a soft smile, "Ah Yan, my father actually cares about you very much, but he has always been dignified and not good at expressing it. That autumn water knife was exchanged by my father from Mr. Ren with Gu Changkang's "Qin Chopping Diagram", and I asked me to give it to you. In fact, the knife was given to Xiao Cong by Xiao Cong to ward off evil spirits, and Xiao Cong gave it to his most cherished brother. Of course, Xiao Cong didn't know at this time that the white lie he said was the true meaning of Xiao Cong's knife.

Xiao Yan's fingers clutched the corners of his clothes, his heart pounded a few times, he was excited about his father's concern for a while, and he felt that he should hate his father for a while, so he couldn't help but get tangled in his heart, and his two eyebrows were together. After a while, she said weakly: "Thank you, father." ”

Xiao Cong felt a headache, obviously his father was very concerned about Seventeen, why didn't he express it? didn't even let Seventeen go to Rui Si Tang to ask for peace, this was originally the time when the son was filial piety and the father and son were in contact with each other, and I really didn't understand what my father was thinking.

When he went to Shenghua Courtyard to talk to his mother about the tour, he mentioned it in passing, and Princess Anping was very happy: Don't you want to be your father? Let Xiao Seventeen go to Rui Si Tang to say goodbye, hey, the one in Qingning Courtyard will turn his face, right?

***

The efficiency of the Guogong Mansion is very high, and when it comes to traveling, it will be ready in a few days.

After the Shangsi Festival on March 3, the official trip on the fourth day of March was completed.

Xiao Yan was still slimy when he said goodbye to his mother in the morning, and was slapped on the head by Shang Qing and driven away with a wave of his sleeves. Xiao Yan was still slumped when he saw Xiao Cong. Xiao Yu and Princess Anping were very reluctant, Xiao Yu also touched her head very emotionally, which made Xiao Yan a little flattered and frightened, and said in his heart, "Liang Guogong took the wrong medicine?" ”

At three o'clock, the traveling procession marched out of the city gate.

The three hundred cavalry in front and behind were the tooth soldiers (personal soldiers) of the prince, surrounded by six carriages, and there were thirty-five cavalry guards around to escort them. Xiao Cong and Shen Qingyi sat in a car, Bai Su served in the car, the guard Xiao Chengshi drove the car, Qinghui, Shelan, Chi Shao three big maids and four second-class maids sat in the second and third cars respectively, the back three cars were accompanied by utensils and gifts, Duan Yan, the secretary and other servants were all riding horses.

Xiao Yan wore a royal blue robe with round neck and arrow sleeves and a leather belt tied with an autumn water knife, rode on the right side of the first carriage, two miles out of Texas City, suddenly clamped the horse's belly, and galloped forward.

"Seventeen Lang-kun!" Xiao Chengzhong shouted.

"Guard Xiao, don't worry, I'll be back later."

Xiao Chengzhong instructed Xiao Chengxin to follow.

Xiao Cong heard movement in the car, and asked Xiao Chengshi, who was driving the car, through the curtain: "What's going on outside?" ”

Xiao Chengshi said: "Seventeen Langjun let the wind go. ”

The corners of Xiao Cong's mouth twitched, these words were sincere.

Shen Qingyi laughed and said: "Qiantao Mountain, there was a gust of wind, this will really be a wild horse that has escaped." Let her go, this wind will not be far away. ”

Xiao Cong laughed, and didn't care about it.

After a while, the sound of hooves was heard, and the young man in the round-necked arrow sleeve robe rode back, heroic, his silver-colored mask shining brightly in the sun, and his crystal eyes were as bright as gems, like the son of the gods who had returned from galloping.

Xiao Chengzhong, Xiao Chengyi and other guards who had seen her true face couldn't help but think: If Seventeen Langjun didn't wear a mask, he was afraid that he would really throw a fruit car when he entered the state city.

The author has something to say: Oh oh, the boy is finally traveling, and the new map is being updated~~
