In the spring of the following year, Guanyin turned six years old.

The eldest grandson returned to Beijing to serve for more than two years.

Yang Guang stayed in Luoyang, the eastern capital, all the year round, and mobilized the south to tour the river capital.

Changsun Sheng was in charge of the emperor's guards and had to travel with his car.

For more than a year, Guanyin rarely saw her father a few times.

In March, Yang Guang returned to Chang'an, Xijing, from Luoyang, the eastern capital, accompanied by his eldest grandson.

For Yang Guang, Changsun Sheng felt that such an emperor was really not worthy of being loyal to him.

Seeing what he has done in the past few years since he ascended the throne, Changsun Sheng has a deep hatred for Yang Guang in his heart, and even hopes that someone with talent and virtue can replace him.

From the bottom of my heart, the so-called loyalty to the monarch is actually a deception to the world, and it is nothing more than a fool's word that the king uses to maintain the status of imperial power.

If the king's father and son, and his brothers, are still deceitful, how can they be extravagant and be loyal to themselves as courtiers?

On the temple, a group of ministers are dignified and talking, how many people can pat their conscience and say that they are officials for the sake of loyalty to the king?

Isn't the real purpose for personal glory and family prosperity?

But the eldest grandson Sheng still has a conscience, he knows that to be an official is to provoke the people, and to be an official is to be loyal to his duties, which is the duty of being an official and a man.

Negligence and slackness are irresponsible for the fate of oneself and one's family.

We should not put our family members and clans in a dangerous situation because of our likes and dislikes.

Every time he travels with the car, Changsun Sheng is cautious and conscientious, lest something go wrong.

The safety of the emperor is related to the safety of the entire country, and there must be no sloppiness.

Although Yang Guang has no way, he knows that someone needs to serve him to ensure that his position is stable.

Therefore, Yang Guang still relies heavily on a talented and virtuous person like Changsun Sheng.

Yang Guang is not an ordinary person, otherwise he would not have won strongly in the battle for the heir.

After getting rid of his brothers, he became more and more arrogant, conceited, and had his own opinions in doing things, and he could not listen to contrary words.

Changsun Sheng also thought about speaking out, but considering Yang Guang's personality, he knew that it was useless to say it, so he could only bring disaster upon himself, so he gave up.

He believes that as long as he does his best and does his job well, he can be regarded as living up to Yang Guang's importance of himself.

As the saying goes: A companion is like a tiger.

In fact, the company of kings is even more dangerous than that of tigers and wolves.

With the tiger wolf as a companion, it is only possible to injure itself.

And if you are not careful with the king, not only will your own life be at risk, but you will also hurt your innocent family members.

Changsun Sheng traveled with Yang Guang, and every day was not cautious and fearful, walking on thin ice.

Home, for Changsun Sheng, is the safest, quietest and warmest harbor.

He can let go of all his guards, stretch his limbs, and relax his mind.

Seeing his children Chenghuan on his knees, and his wife gentle and lingering, Changsun Sheng felt even more that the safety of his family was important and precious.

This home needs him to do his best to manage and protect.

------

Although Guanyin didn't spend much time with her father, she could feel the selfless fatherly love that others couldn't give from Changsun Sheng.

Father is the only man in this world who allows himself to be presumptuous.

She can put her arms around his neck, be intimate without any scruples, pull his beard, pull his hair.

When Changsun Sheng returned home, Guanyin would leave Gao Qiuniang aside.

When Changsun Sheng sat on the Luohan bed, Guanyin would sit in Changsun Sheng's arms, lean on his lap, look up, and have endless words with him.

Gao Qiuniang looked at her beloved man, snatched away by others, but without a trace of jealousy, looking at their father-daughter, father-son love, her heart was filled with only a strong sweetness.

Changsun Sheng told Guanyin about the beauty of the south of the Yangtze River, the prosperity of the eastern capital Luoyang, the vastness of the territory, and the customs and customs of various places.

Let her know that the north is still icy and snowy, and the south is already scorching.

But I couldn't bear to tell her about the suffering of the people and the hardships of the world.

I'm afraid to give her an innocent smile and cast a shadow of unhappiness.

He didn't want this rare joyful atmosphere to be diluted in the slightest.

In her father's narration, Guanyin slept quietly with a sweet smile on her face.

Changsun Sheng adjusted his body and put Guanyin in the most comfortable position.

Looking at his daughter's beautiful and handsome little face, Changsun Sheng said softly to his wife:

"I don't know, what did she look like when she grew up? I hope she can be happy and happy for the rest of her life. ”

Gao Qiuniang stared at Guanyin for a while, and then said:

"Auntie is too smart, I often think, what kind of person do you want to accept this beautiful phoenix? You have just returned home, and you have not had time to tell you a lot of things about your maid, and you will definitely be surprised when you hear it. ”

Changsun Sheng smiled: "What will surprise me? ”

Gao Qiuniang said: "You know about Ah Wan learning chess, right?" ”

Changsun Sheng said: "Didn't you start learning to play music the year before last?" With the guidance of a master like you, I must have learned it by now. ”

Gao Qiuniang saw that Changsun Sheng said it lightly, and did not regard Guanyin's learning of chess as a big deal, and deliberately said:

"Forget it, I won't tell you, it looks like Awen can play chess, and you don't think it's any strange."

After that, he stopped talking, picked up the books on a few cases and began to flip through them.

Originally, he wanted to tell himself a surprising thing, but Changsun Sheng's appetite was raised, but now there was no follow-up, so he asked:

"Why didn't the lady say it?"

Gao Qiuniang deliberately betrayed Guan Zi and said, "What do you say?" You don't like to hear it. ”

Changsun Sheng said: "The lady hasn't said it yet, how do you know that I don't like to hear it?" Let's talk about the matter of Ah Wan learning chess, is it making rapid progress? ”

Gao Qiuniang said: "It's a lot of progress, who do you guess she can win now?" ”

Changsun Sheng pondered for a while, folded his fingers and calculated:

"Our children, Jia Luo is two years older than Ah Wan, and Ah Qing is three years older, it should be no problem for you to guide Ah Wan to win the two of them. Ah Yan and Ah Zhan are four or five years older than Ah Wan, and they are very smart, and the gentleman in the school hall has specially taught, Ah Wan shouldn't have won the two of them, right? ”

Gao Qiuniang couldn't help but smile and said:

"Ah Yan and Ah Zhan were vulnerable in front of Ah Wan a year ago."

The eldest grandson Shengqi said: "There is such a thing? Can she still win Ah Hong and Mowgli? ”

Gao Qiuniang saw the stunned look of the eldest grandson, and then said:

"I haven't played with Ah Hong, but Mowgli can't win her, and it's not easy for me to win her once."

Hearing that her daughter, who was only six years old, could win Gao Qiuniang, Changsun Sheng would never have thought of it, and said in surprise:

"It's really as the lady said, won't the maid become a prodigy?"

------

Gao Qiuniang told Changsun Chen in detail what had happened in the past year, and sighed after speaking:

"Auntie is so smart, I am naturally happy in my heart, but I am a little worried in my heart, the girl is too good, and if she grows up, she may not be happy."

Changsun Sheng said: "The child is smart, and the lady still has to worry, isn't this asking for trouble?" ”

Gao Qiuniang said: "My husband doesn't know, this woman married to seek protection. If you are worthy of the strong, you will have a sense of security. To treat a husband as a protector. ”

"If your husband is not as good as herself, she will look bad at every turn. If the husband has a bad temper, the two will quarrel every day. If the husband has a good temper, he will be as meek as a sheep and will not dare to do anything. ”

Changsun Sheng said thoughtfully: "If you think about it carefully, it's really as the lady said." ”

"The first emperor was the king of a country, but he was extremely jealous of Queen Dugu, and he didn't dare to take a concubine before the emperor, and he didn't dare to take a concubine after the emperor."

"The five sons were all born to Queen Dugu, and they can't do anything, even the matter of establishing a prince, they all listen to the queen's words."

"When he was dying, the first emperor regretted that he should not have made Yang Guang the crown prince, saying, 'The queen harmed me'. This sincerity is not far away! ”

Gao Qiuniang deeply agreed:

"If the yin and yang in the inner house are combined, the husband and wife complement each other, and the husband and wife follow each other, which will help the family business prosper."

"If the yin is prosperous and the yang is declining, and the woman is stronger than her husband, then the husband is in the family and has no value and status to speak of, how can his family be undefeated?"

At this time, Changsun Sheng laughed and said:

"My daughter is just six years old, and you are worried about finding a husband. Awen is still young, let's just pay more attention in the future. I have something to tell you, in a few days, Tang Guogong will come to the palace to visit. ”

------

Li Hu, the grandfather of Li Yuan, the Duke of Tang, was one of the Eight Pillars of the Western Wei Dynasty.

His father, Li Xun, was the official of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, the governor of Anzhou, and the general of the Zhu State, and was awarded the title of Duke of Tang.

Mother Dugu is the sister of Yang Guang's mother Queen Dugu.

When Li Yuan was seven years old, his father Li Yu died, and he was named the Duke of Tang Guo.

Gao Qiuniang looked at Changsun Sheng suspiciously:

"Tang Guogong is the aunt and nephew of Queen Dugu, the cousin of the current emperor, and a relative of the emperor. How can you deign to come to us? ”

The eldest grandson Sheng said: "The lady doesn't know, Li Yuan, the Duke of Tang Guo, has just been appointed by Yang Guang as the young eunuch in the palace, responsible for court etiquette and honor guards, and the two of us are colleagues in the palace now." ”

Gao Qiuniang was puzzled: "Didn't the husband say that he would not be allowed to interact with the emperor's relatives?" How did you break this case now? ”

Changsun Sheng said: "When I say this, it is the time when the kings are vying for the crown, and now it is different from then. The kings are now either dead or abolished, and Yang Guangwei balances the situation of the court, in order to prevent foreign ministers from becoming dominant, and gradually uses some noble relatives. ”

"This Tang Guogong has never been ambitious, since the time of the first emperor, he has not been reused, and has been the assassin of Xiaozhou, now more than forty years old, but he has only been awarded a four-grade idle errand."

"I heard that it was because of a few BMWs to Yang Guang that he was transferred back to Beijing. It is estimated that I am Yang Guang's minister, and I have the intention of clinging to the cage. ”

Gao Qiuniang said worriedly: "It's hard to guarantee that it's not Yang Guang's eyeliner, and when your husband gets along with him, you should be careful when you speak." ”

Changsun Sheng said: "Madame reminds me that I should be careful. ”

------

A few days later, when it was time to rest, Li Yuan came to visit as promised, and his second son Li Shimin came at the same time.

Li Yuan has been released to work all the year round, and his wife and children do not live in the Tang State Mansion in Tongyili.

Instead, he lives in a courtyard in Wugong County, west of Chang'an City.

This time when he returned to Beijing, Li Yuan only took his second son Li Shimin and returned to the Tang State Mansion.

I heard that the eldest grandson Sheng's youngest son, the eldest grandson Wuji, was the same age as Li Shimin, so he intended to take him to get acquainted with the eldest grandson Wuji.

Although Li Yuanshi's official position is a fourth-grade, he is a national prince and enjoys first-class treatment, and he is Yang Guang's cousin, so the eldest Sun Sheng did not dare to slack off in the slightest, and specially invited the eldest brother Sun Chi to accompany him.
