Fortunately, what the old demon monk found was only the fate of the feudal lord.
What if it is an emperor's fate?
Then Xu Qin is dead.
At this time, Mr. Xu looked confused.
He never expected that Yao Guangxiao would rate himself so highly.
But is this a disaster or a blessing for Zhu Di?
After thinking for a moment, Xu Qin smiled awkwardly at Yao Guangxiao and said tentatively:
"Master, your calculation is... inaccurate, right?"
Yao Guangxiao guessed Xu Qin's uneasiness, and he immediately comforted him:
"Young Master Xu, no matter how relaxed you are, at this time you know that I know what heaven and earth know, and I will not claim the throne."
"It's just the new emperor's enthronement ceremony on the 17th. You have to go to the palace to pay homage and offer gifts. I will inform the officials later and send you a letter."
"must."
Xu Qin mechanically nodded in agreement, and finally a stone fell to the ground in his heart.
It is a signal before taking office that the officials are sent to the next batch of cards.
Indicates that he will be directly appointed by the Ministry of Personnel.
The Ministry of Personnel directly appoints court officials, which is the starting point of the fifth rank.
Xu Qin was secretly happy.
"One more thing. Princess Xu will arrive in Pukou North probably the day after tomorrow. She will definitely come to visit Xu Mansion before the enthronement ceremony."
"Young master, please remember not to mention in front of her that Prince Xu visited the Xu Mansion and forced you to sign a memorial and threatened you."
Xu Qin was startled when he heard this, stood up quickly, bowed his hands, and said sincerely:
"Thank you, Master, for reminding me. I appreciate it."
Yao Guangxiao looked at Xu Qin and nodded slightly, smiling, "Okay, I have completed my mission and will return to the palace to resume my duties. I'll take my leave first."
"Master, please excuse me."
Xu Qin stood up and respectfully helped Yao Guangxiao get up and move around.
Although Yao Guangxiao is in his sixties, he is in good health.
Although Xu Qin's support was not very effective, it was of profound significance.
When he was sent to the door of the house, Xu Qin cupped his hands and bowed deeply. He didn't straighten up until he saw Yao Guangxiao boarding the car and leaving.
"Young Master, how are you?"
Butler Xu Fu said with concern.
"very nice."
Xu Qin was vague, turned around and strode towards his residence, Meiyuan.
He needed to take a hot bath and relax himself.
…
North of Nanjing, Pukou South Pier.
In the early morning of July 13th, the river was covered with smoke and fog.
The sentry on the city tower vaguely saw a large black shadow moving in the direction of the dock, and then the sound of horse hooves was as startling as thunder.
After a while, flags were fluttering, and hundreds of elite knights appeared in the field of vision, which gradually became clearer.
"Da da da... da da..."
The horse gallops like a dragon and its momentum is like a rainbow.
"Hurry...open the city gate and welcome Princess Yan..."
"Hurry and go to the palace to report that Princess Yan has entered the capital!"
"???"
The cavalry outposts shouted, and there was a panic at the city gate.
A dashing and heroic female general in uniform, surrounded by knights, rode towards Nanjing.
She is none other than Xu Miaoyun, the famous Princess Yan in history.
Under the city gate, Xu Miaoyun reined in his horse and stopped, looking up at the north outer city gate of Kyoto with some emotion.
Twenty-two years ago, she followed the King of Yan, Zhu Di, to conquer Beiping, and crossed the river from here to the north.
During this period, she returned to Nanjing only a handful of times.
More than five years ago, Emperor Gao, Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, passed away. Zhu Di came with his three princes, but she guarded Beiping City and did not return.
I returned to my old place today, but things have changed.
When the main gate opened, she only glanced at the city, then without hesitation, she rode her horse and whipped her whip into the capital.
"Send the order, the team will go to Xu Mansion first."
Xu Miaoyun suddenly gave an order to the personal female officer.
"As commanded."
After a while, the forward troops changed their route and headed towards Damingfang on the Qinhuai River and the Wei Guogong Mansion.
…
In the two days after Yao Guangxiao left, Xu Qin was in a good mood and was rarely relaxed.
In addition to taking the initiative to accompany his mother Zhang for two meals, he even found an old purple bamboo fishing rod left by his father and prepared to go fishing.
For safety reasons, Xu Fu and others refused to let the young master go out to the Qinhuai River.
If the Qinhuai River fails, then go fishing in the back garden of the east courtyard of the mansion and in your own Xiaojing Lake.
It is said that there is an underground river under Xiaojing Lake, which is connected to the Qinhuai River, so it is living water and there are many fish.
No, not long after I put down the fishing rod early in the morning, a fish took the bait.
There is fresh fish in the pot at noon.
In his previous life, Xu Qin had good fishing skills. He caught a lot of fish in the past two days, so he had the nerve to accompany his mother, Zhang, to dinner.
My father, Xu Huizu, had never been kind to him.
Mainly because of the letter of allegiance he wrote on behalf of his father last time, Xu Huizu was still worried about it.
What a stupid head, foolish and loyal.
Follow the ancestral precepts, be loyal to the Zhu family dynasty, be loyal to the country, protect the country, and resist foreign aggression.
This is what a loyal minister and filial son should do.
Now the Zhu family is fighting among themselves, who cares about who wins and who loses?
Whoever wins will be the one you marry.
Zhu Yunwen is not a good guy at all. Re-employing Qi Tai, Huang Zhicheng, and Fang Xiaoru, the "three fools of Jianwen", can only talk on paper.
He was also wary of Xu Huizu and ignored Mei Yin, and was eventually ousted by Zhu Di.
Of course Xu Qin didn't care about it, let alone argue with his father.
The two people have very different worldviews and values, and there is no common language at all.
Fortunately, Xu Huizu was a useless person, so Xu Fu and the others were responsible for delivering food and serving the people.
Xu Qin just went to say hello early every morning, knelt down and left.
However, of the fish he caught in the past few days, he took in a few of them.
"Young Master, my eldest aunt has entered the city."
"Young Master, the princess did not enter the palace, but came directly to the Xu Mansion!"
"???"
The spies from the government reported one after another, making Xu Qin's originally relaxed nerves suddenly become tense.
"Open the main gate of the mansion, notify everyone, and line up on both sides of the corridor to welcome the empress."
"..."
Everyone in the mansion was busy.
Mrs. Zhang also walked out of Yayuan, wearing a rare formal dress and the crown of Mrs. Yipin Gaoming.
Everyone is preparing to welcome the eldest sister of Xu Mansion, the new empress of the Zhu Dynasty.
Xu Miaoyun dismounted in the square in front of Wei Guogong's mansion, covered with dust.
"The humble minister Xu Qin pays his respects to the empress!"
"My concubine, Mrs. Zhang, pays homage to the empress!"
"..."
Xu Qin and Zhang took the lead and knelt down to greet him at the gate of the mansion. Behind them, there was darkness and hundreds of kneeling people.
Everyone was vague and just called her empress, omitting the prefix.
"Get together, no courtesy."
Xu Miaoyun raised her hand and helped her sister-in-law Zhang up with her own hands, "Where is Yun Gong? Why doesn't he come out? Is he too embarrassed to see me, the eldest sister?"
Xu Miaoyun spoke quickly and still called her by her childhood name.
The eldest sister is like a mother.
She is the daughter of the Xu family. Her biological mother, Xie, died early, and her father, Xu Da, was away fighting all year round.
Therefore, she is the backbone of the mansion and has developed her absolute authority in the Xu mansion.
She is five years older than Xu Huizu, seven years older than her third brother Xu Zengshou, and her fourth brother Xu Yingxu is ten years old.
Not to mention the other concubine brothers and sisters.
When it comes to the relationship between brothers and sisters, of course she has the best relationship with her eldest brother Xu Huizu.
