Qi Jiye gave his parents and ancestors the spiritual position, put on three pillars of incense, and said to Qi Tian: "You haven't come back for a long time, and you also came to put on pillar incense." Qi Tian bowed as he said.

Qi Jiye sat down on the futon in front of the god case and said, "Now that you have grown up, it is time for you to know some things." Qi Tian didn't dare to sit together, and hung his hands to the side.

Qi Jiye patted the thin group beside him, motioned for him to sit down, and said: "My father has been very strict with you since you were a child, and I think you are more in awe than love for me. ”

Qi Tian was silent. Qi Jiye continued: "Actually, my father doesn't know that this is not a perfect way for father and son to get along. Like when my father was young, your grandfather was busy with horses, and occasionally took me out to play, but you never enjoyed such fun. You also know that Daddy and I are weak and can risk my life at any time. ”

Qi Tian hurriedly said: "Father, you are auspicious, you will live a long life, and you will have a full house of children and grandchildren." Qi Jiye chuckled and said: "You have walked around the rivers and lakes, not only have you learned martial arts, but you have also made rapid progress in kung fu." Qi Tian smiled.

Qi Jiye continued: "For my father's body, I know that if I don't use precious medicinal materials every day to raise my disease, I can live half of my life if I am replaced by ordinary people, thank God." ”

Qi Tian said gloomily: "Tian'er is useless, this trip to the rivers and lakes has not been able to complete my grandmother's last life, nor has I found the miracle doctor Liu Senior to treat my father." ”

Qi Jiye smiled and said: "Maybe for my father and your mother, find a daughter-in-law, this trip is not a loss." Qi Tian didn't know how to answer for a while, as his father and son did today, gossiping and laughing freely, but there had never been a situation before.

Qi Jiye continued: "Do you know the origin of the title of 'Acting King'?" Qi Tian hesitated: "That is the first emperor who remembered his grandfather's meritorious service in founding the country and rewarded him. ”

Qi Jiye shook his head and said: "Throughout the dynasties, among the courtiers who fought the world, the credit is very great, although there is no more than your grandfather, but there are not a few who have made great contributions, how many have you ever seen the title of acting king?"

Qi Tiandao: "Could it be that the first emperor gave this title, there is another meaning." Qi Jiye didn't answer, stood up, moved the desk with great effort, pointed to a square brick pressed at the foot of the table before, and ordered Qi Tian to dig it out, and there was a black box inside, he opened the box, and there was a holy decree wrapped in imperial silk.

Qi Jiye untied Huang Aya, handed the holy decree to Qi Tian, and motioned for him to open it. Qi Tian unfolded it, only to see that it was written slightly: "Li Jingcheng, the founding emperor of the Tang Dynasty, issued an edict: Acting on behalf of the king Qi Miaoyuan, holding this edict, he can be the king of the Tang Dynasty at any time. On the back is written "Li Jingcheng's blood oath on the eighteenth day of Xuanyue in the 618th year of the Chinese calendar", which is marked with a treasure seal and branded with the words "both longevity and Yongchang, and ordered by the sky".

Qi Tian was taken aback, and looked closely at the handwriting on the oracle, which was thick and dark red, obviously biting his fingers and writing in blood. He knew that the year 618 of the Chinese calendar was the year of the founding of the Tang Dynasty, and September 18 was the day when the first emperor ascended the throne. The story of his grandfather and the first emperor starting a business, he was familiar with it since he was a child, but he didn't expect it to be secret.

If it is true, with this edict, it is clear to the world that the acting king is the main master of the Tang Dynasty. Ren is Qi Tian's martial arts are now first-class, and he can't help but tremble with his hands and sweat profusely.

Qi Jiye had already known the content of the holy decree, but he no longer looked at it, and said with a solemn face: "Such a great honor, although the first emperor is grateful for the Tang Dynasty, it is all up to your grandfather to lay it, and he can't give it up, so he made this decision." This is the benevolence and righteousness of the first emperor, but when it comes to the next generation or the next generation of the Tang Emperor, it is inevitable that he will also think so? The descendants of the royal mansion, if they are mediocre, the Li family can still sit on his dragon chair with peace of mind, but if the descendants of the royal palace have produced smart and talented people with high ability, I am afraid that they will not be so at ease. ”

Qi Tian hesitated and said: "Father means that the emperor also knows this secret decree?" Qi Jiye shook his head and said, "Whether you know it or not, for the sake of the Qi family, you must not be cautious for your father." ”

Only then did Qi Tian understand that his father forbade him to learn martial arts, because he was afraid of arousing the suspicion of the royal family, in order to protect himself.

Qi Jiye patted his son's shoulder and said, "Fortunately, although you learn martial arts, you are not those half-water, listen to what you say, with your current martial arts, self-protection should be more than enough, but let your father feel a lot more at ease." ”

Qi Tian said with relief: "Father don't worry, the saint is merciful, quite the legacy of the previous emperor, and he is the same as his mother, so he will not be unfavorable to the palace of the king." ”

Qi Jiye said: "I have never worried about the Holy Lord as a father. But what about the Li clan's clan relatives and the Xiangguo Mansion? They are proud because of the saint, how can they allow their rich and noble existence to be endangered?"

Qi Jiye said in a condensed voice: "If you enter the palace to face the saint this time, if the emperor asks about your experience in the rivers and lakes, the matter of learning martial arts, after opening the far gate and Hu does not return, it will be impossible to hide it." But there is no need to mention the matter of getting the 'Taigong Yin Fu' in Qishan. ”

Qi Tian thought to himself, his father couldn't trust the emperor after all. Qi Jiye seemed to know what was on his mind, and said: "Jiang Taigong has made immortal achievements with his immortal talent, opened hundreds of schools, and written a suicide note, just using soldiers, it is unpredictable. Let those who have a heart know that this immortal book falls into your hands, and your scruples about the palace will inevitably increase day by day. You are fledgling, and you are facing treacherous turmoil too early, and your father is afraid that you will have a hard time coping. ”

Qi Tian was stunned and said, "Father means that this day is inevitable in the future?"

Qi Jiye sighed and said: "Although the emperor is not mediocre, he can favor the queen of martial arts, and connived at Xiangye's big seat, but now Xiangguo has monopolized power, formed a party for personal gain, and the dynasty is autocratic, the emperor is old, his age and energy are not as good as before, and he has a lot of powerlessness." The court is full of wind and rain, and the palace will not be able to let the world overturn and turn against the Xiangguo Mansion, so it will be a matter of time. Taking 10,000 steps back, even if the Dai Wangfu can calm down, Xiang Ye will not be able to tolerate the stumbling block of the Dai Wangfu. If you don't show your head a little at the far door, Hu Bugui will come to the door. ”

Qi Tian said coldly: "Whoever dares to endanger his father and mother, let him be the king and general, and the child will also take his head." Although he is not very old, he is dignified and noble, and his hands are stained with blood, and these words have a chilling atmosphere.

Qi Jiye glanced at his son, his mood was complicated, he himself was weak and obscure, even when he was young, he never showed his edge. Over time, even he didn't know if he still had a edge, maybe he once had, but he had hidden it for a long time, and he had already dimmed. Sometimes I think about it, in my life, outsiders seem to be infinitely beautiful, but it is really very rich. Fortunately, until now, I finally look forward to my son growing up, enough to shoulder the future of the royal mansion.

Qi Jiye was happy, but when he thought of the turmoil in the future, he would have to bear it all for his son alone, and he couldn't help but worry again. He was silent for a while, and suddenly said with a straight face: "This decree will be handed over to you today by the Father." But there is one thing that you must keep in mind. In the world of Datang back then, it is not an exaggeration to say that your grandfather fought it alone, but today's world of Datang is always respected by the Li family. The first emperor had a knowing heart for your grandfather, and the emperor was also kind to my family, no matter how outsiders sow discord, as long as the Li family did not turn their faces and be ruthless to my Qi family for a day, you should not have a different heart for a day. If you disobey your father's words, you will die for your father and will not forgive you!"

Qi Tian heard what his father said solemnly, he trembled with fright, and hurriedly knelt on the ground and said: "Father's words, the child will remember them and never forget them." ”

Qi Jiye said: "That's fine." He sighed again and said, "Although this is not your grandfather's original words, it probably means the same." I hope that the Li Qi family can get married for generations, and there will never be that day. ”

Qi Jiye helped his son up and said, "Let's go out first." Qi Tiandao: "I want to spend more time with my grandmother." Qi Jiye knew that his ancestors and grandchildren had deep feelings before their deaths, so he didn't say much at the moment and went alone.

Seeing that the incense burned out, Qi Tian lit three pillars of incense and plugged it in, knelt on the ground, and wanted to say goodbye to his grandmother's spiritual position, but he had been away from home for several years and had experienced a lot, and he didn't know where to start for a while. Seeing that the old man wearing the mask was still cleaning, he walked over and said, "Erbo, I'll help you." ”

The old man, Erdong, shook his head. Qi Tiandao: "Okay, I won't rob you, you clean up, I'll help you massage." He turned to the old man's back, put his hands on his shoulders, and kneaded them with his fingers open.

The old man hurriedly turned around and shook his head repeatedly, meaning that he didn't dare. Qi Tian said: "That ear uncle will talk to me." The old man nodded.

Qi Tian took Erdong's hand, sat down on the futon on the ground, and said, "What Xiao Tian just said, Erbo heard it." Erdong nodded, and shook his head again.

Qi Tian since the beginning of the question, Erdong has been in the house, has been following his grandmother, after the grandmother passed away, the old man took over the task of taking care of the ancestral hall, once in the morning and evening, cold and summer. The two of them get along very closely, although Erdong is dumb, but after a long time, the meaning of nodding and shaking his head, Qi Tian can also figure out seven, seven, eighty, eight, and eight, knowing what he means, some words are not complete.

Qi Tian said: "That Xiaotian said that the girl in the Allure City, did Erbo hear it?" Erdong nodded. Qi Tian smiled: "Do you want to know what the parents are like?"

Qi Tian thought for a while and said, "When Erbo was young, he wanted to know a lot of beautiful girls, and there were not a few beautiful girls he had seen?" Erdong nodded.

Qi Tiandao: "Keerbo has seen or knows so many beautiful girls, and they may not be beautiful in total. Erber shook his head this time, expressing disbelief.

Qi Tian smiled: "Erbo, you don't believe it, when Xiaotian shows it to you, you will know, how can there be such a beautiful girl in the world." ”

Erdong couldn't help grinning, a big mouth of blood spurting, and there was not a single tooth in it, which seemed extremely terrifying.

Qi Tian was stunned for a moment, laughing like people now, just like his father was talking and laughing just now, it was the only time he had seen it in his life. Erdong knew that he was out of shape, and quickly closed his mouth.
