The first sixty-eight chapters
Xu Yi was still a little bit behind when he was foolish and scheming.
Just as Xu Yi slowly let the ship float on the Yellow River, the imperial edicts arrived, and the letters from the Cui family also arrived, and Cui Sheng, Cui Yao and Cui Gui all wrote letters.
The imperial court ordered Xu Yi to quickly return to Chang'an after completing his ancestor worship in Qingming Festival as soon as possible and enter Xiliuying...
The Cui family's letter told Xu Yi that Cui Ying was rushing to Caozhou by land and would worship his ancestors with Xu Yi, and inform the ancestors of the Xu family that they would get married this year.
That's it! That's it. Although it's all good things, it makes Xu Yi feel depressed.
"Lord, do you keep your hands in Gongming Palace?"
Only Yingniang was present, and Xu Qing asked Xu Yi in a low voice.
"Uncle Qing, don't think so. Maybe the Gongming Palace had been plowed several times by the court at this time, and even the saint of Jinmaijiu buried in my early years knew about it."
"All the kings under the world are kings. Although the court is not really meticulous in any place, the court will definitely pay attention to the Gongming Palace after gunpowder bullets appear."
"Ling Yunzi... I'm afraid Ling Yunzi can't hide this time."
In this era, the way of news transmission was like this, and the court's receipt was the fastest. When Xu Yi received the incident in Chang'an, he was afraid that the court had sent people to Gongming Palace.
This is certain. After seeing the power of gunpowder bullets, the eldest princess and King Xin'an could not stop the saint's source of gunpowder bullets.
At first, Xu Yi used the excuse of Ling Yunzi's alchemy and fried the furnace, and Xu Yi did not expect the Gongming Palace to keep this secret with a wide range of words. Moreover, this may not be a bad thing for Gongming Palace. If the court sent someone to reward Gongming Palace, and Xu Yi's success in recent years...
It can't change anything, but fortunately Xu Yi didn't really have much help in Gongming Palace except Jinmaijiu.
It's okay, this will make the saint completely relieved.
Cui Ying arrived in Caozhou, but she refused to turn back along the Yellow River to meet with Xu Yi. She was ashamed to do so, but had to accept the family's arrangements to do so.
Originally, when Cui Ying knew that Xu Yi was returning to her hometown to worship her ancestors, no one in the Cui family agreed to follow Xu Yi back to her hometown to worship her ancestors except her brother Cui Huan.
Engagement is an engagement. After all, it has not been married yet and is not considered a member of the Xu family. At this time, it is a joke to follow him back to his hometown to worship his ancestors.
But after the Xue Shao incident in Xiliuying, the power of gunpowder bullets spread in the circle of Chang'an's powerful people. Starting from the clan uncle, all the elders of the Cui family in power urged Cui Ying to rush on the way and must meet before Xu Yi worshipped his ancestors... What is this?
No matter how ashamed Cui Ying was, she still met Xu Yi.
"Yilang, I was here originally. Except for my brother's support, my family refused to accept it. But I agreed later and was so urgent. I was very ashamed and had no face to see you..."
Smart women always know when to say what.
If Cui Ying pretended that nothing happened at this time, then in the future, the entire Xu family could pretend that she was an outsider. Cui Ying understood, very well.
In terms of specific customs, it is normal to not participate in the ancestor worship without participating in the engagement. However, in view of Xu Yi's situation, Cui Ying was also praised by the scholars while accompanying the ancestor worship.
The key is how the Cui family does it.
The Xueshao incident in Xiliuying made the Cui family understand that Xu Yi had already had a power comparable to his Cui family in Dasheng. It was not only favored by the saints, but also the future of Xiliuying. It is likely to be the sharp blade of the Dasheng Dynasty in the future, and it is a major force that can influence the direction of the court.
It is really understandable that the Cui family did this at this time.
"After all, I'm thinking about my family, I can understand. I'm happy to let you go, regardless of the reason or purpose."
Xu Yi's words were indeed what he thought.
At this time, there was no time to breed resentment. He was still worried about the reaction of the court's visit to the Gongming Palace.
"I hope that when you get married, I can eat the golden wheat wine you have in your cellar......"
The saint actually wrote a letter to Xu Yi himself, and he told Xu Yi without caring about his face. He knew about Gongming Palace, because, with the saint's private message, the court rewarded Ling Yunzi.
From now on, Ling Yunzi assassinated Feng Yunying Zhenren, enjoyed the treatment of a fifth-rank official in the court, was controlled by Xu Yi, the deputy commander of Jincheng, and was assigned to the Xiliuying Gunpowder Workshop.
"I don't understand gunpowder at all!"
Ling Yunzi was not happy about the imperial court's reward, and felt that the reward was very hot.
"The saint said you understand, you understand."
Xu Yi was in a pretty good mood, at least the situation was not out of control and was still expected. In other words, Xu Yi received a private message from the saint, which made Xu Yi feel the closeness in the saint's heart.
From then on, the saint should be relieved of him.
This mood made Xu Yi feel willing to tease Ling Yunzi.
"Lingyun, you represent Gongming Palace."
Ling Fengzi should be a little sad. He was very enthusiastic about secular high-ranking officials and nobles in Gongming Palace. But after working hard for so many years, the result was that Ling Yunzi, the most indifferent person, got it.
Ling Yunzi was not interested in anything except alchemy.
"The lord said you understand, then you understand, not only understand, but also everyone."
Xu Qing was also persuading.
"But I don't like these things, so I will refine the elixir."
"You don't need to do anything. The more you don't contact the outside world, the more you appear to be a master and a big shot. As a master, you should have the airs of a master."
Xu Yi felt that it was a good idea to have Ling Yunzi. He was already rude enough, and it was great to make people burden him.
In general, starting from leaving Chang'an with a little hurry, today is the happiest day along the way. Xu Yi also felt like he was putting down his stone.
The origin is strange, but it keeps struggling, and new tricks emerge one after another... People can be smart and wise, but Xu Yi feels that he is a little too out of style, but one thing is about to make himself show off.
I have to make great efforts to solve all kinds of bad things. This also makes the entire Dashengchao feel a sense of freedom towards me.
This is great. When Ling Yunzi refines the alchemy, the entire court imposes gunpowder bullets on Ling Yunzi's head, he will not be so out of line.
If the whole court was thinking: all Xu Yi's innovations came from the fact that he was from Taoism, including Gongming Palace and the hermits in Zhongnan Mountain... In this way, he would have received much less attention.
The result is very different from that of borrowing external forces.
"Uncle, some names make people share better, and they can carry them at the right time..."
Xu Sishun, because his family has been in trouble for a long time, he knows a lot of things, and he also knows what Ling Yunzi is doing. That's what he said...
"Si Shun, you have to remember that the people who can come to worship their ancestors this time are all members of the Xu family, regardless of inside or outside. I will never consider giving up any of them at any time."
"Also remember that no matter what my former ancestors were, starting from me, Xu Yi, the Xu family is a community, and they will not abandon or give up, and share honor and disgrace!"
This is the problem of Xu Shiji's lineage. Just like that ancestor, he always thinks about preparing something and giving people what to do.
Xu Yi was happy that Ling Yunzi was considered the inventor of gunpowder. He did not want to push Ling Yunzi out at any time, but could suppress his own limelight. He never thought about cheating anyone.
This is no longer the time when Xu Yigang came to this era. Over the years, the people of Gongming Palace followed him, and they have truly become a real family.
Xu Yi is wary, but he needs to look at the object.
Gongming Palace has really become its foundation, just like the letter from the abbot, explaining in detail the court's investigation of Gongming Palace and telling Xu Yi that Gongming Palace can take everything down at the appropriate time!
