Multiverse: Beginning with Forced Binding

When Chen Xi led the Boy Scouts back to Beijing, it happened to be the time for the announcement of the results. He sent someone to take the Boy Scouts back to the barracks. He entered the city alone with light luggage, preparing to go to the palace to meet the emperor and the prince.

The emperor was very happy when he saw Chen Xi. Great, a young hero, he did not bring down the reputation of the Anping Marquisate.

Chen Xi accompanied the emperor and the prince to have dinner together, talking about what he had seen and heard in the past two years. He had been away for so long, on the one hand to train the troops, and on the other hand to go around for the prince.

Many problems cannot be seen by just reading the memorials.

In the memorials, the world is peaceful; outside the memorials, the people are living in misery.

There are too many such things.

Not to mention the prince, even the emperor was shocked. It turned out that there were so many dirty things happening in places he didn't know.

The emperor did not express any opinions. He was already old, his energy was getting less and less, and because of his personality, he could not make drastic reforms.

Looking at the prince and Chen Xi, the emperor thought to himself, let's leave everything to these two little ones.

In the future, this piece of land will definitely be handed over to Zhao Xi. I hope they can create the glory of Emperor Wu of Han and Marquis Guan again.

The emperor is very satisfied with the prince. The prince's growth far exceeds his expectations. Not only is his body in good condition, his brain is sufficient, and his character is stable. He has nothing to worry about.

After Chen Xi left, the father and son talked for a while, and the topic they talked about was naturally about Marquis Anping.

Chen Xi didn't need to know, he could guess what these two people would say. He was also an emperor and knew the thoughts of creatures like emperors too well.

The whole city of Bianjing was jubilant. Those who passed the imperial examination got what they wanted, and they were all in high spirits. Those who didn't pass the exam packed up their bags and returned home sadly, and fought again in three years.

The Sheng family was also very happy. Sheng Changbai passed the imperial examination. Wang Ruofu was about to celebrate with great fanfare, but was stopped by Old Lady Sheng at the critical moment.

"We are all studying in Sheng Family Academy, but now only Brother Bo has passed the exam. If we celebrate it, won't it be a slap in the face of Princess Pingning?"

Sheng Hong was sweating coldly after hearing this sentence, and he almost made a mistake.

Gu Tingye didn't pass the exam because of special reasons, but Young Master Qi failed the exam in name only.

Just as Old Lady Sheng said, everyone came from the same place, and Sheng Changbai's passing the exam was eye-catching enough. If we celebrated it in a big way, Princess Pingning might not think too much.

Did Sheng Family Academy not teach their son well?

How else to explain the fact that Sheng Changbai passed the exam and his son failed the exam?

In order to avoid suspicion, the Sheng family suppressed their excitement and celebrated secretly in the mansion, and never dared to publicize it.

Sheng Changbai's passing the exam was a great stimulus to Sheng Changfeng, and he studied harder, thinking that he would pass the exam in three years.

Until now, Sheng Changfeng has not given up the plan to slap Anping Hou in the face. He wants to take back the dignity he once lost.

Chen Xi had long forgotten Sheng Changfeng. Who has the leisure to think about a man?

Liu Yue'e also got the news that Anping Hou returned to Beijing. She used to be very bold, but now she is embarrassed to go to Anping Hou's mansion.

When Chen Xi was not at home, Liu Yue'e often went to Anping Hou's mansion. She felt that she was helping her future husband to look after the house, just like a hostess, and everyone in the mansion recognized her.

When people really came back, Liu Yue'e realized that she was embarrassed. Not to mention being a housekeeper, she was ashamed to see Chen Xi.

Chen Xi looked at the time. It was very late and not suitable for visiting. He simply sent someone to deliver the invitation. He would visit the Liu family tomorrow and visit Lin Qinshuang at the Sheng family the day after tomorrow.

The Liu family did not have much assets. In Bianjing, they could only afford a small courtyard at most. Fortunately, the Liu family did not have many people.

Those people in the Liu Family Escort Agency did not all follow Liu Shenxia to Bianjing, but most of them chose to stay in their hometown.

Liu Shenxia brought three people, and Liu Yue'e brought a maid. The whole Liu family had only these few people, and a small courtyard was enough for them to live in.

The location of the Liu Family was in an area where ordinary people lived. There were no dignitaries, and the atmosphere of life was quite full.

Chen Xi walked here with the personal soldiers of the Anping Marquis's Mansion, which was quite interesting, but his clothes and dress were somewhat out of tune with this area.

No one on the road dared to approach Chen Xi casually. It was obvious that he was a nobleman, and they couldn't afford to offend him.

Chen Xi's age made the people feel like the kind of yamen, who couldn't be offended.

The neighbors around the Liu Family watched the nobleman enter the Liu Family's courtyard, and couldn't help but talk about it.

I didn't expect that the Liu Family had such interpersonal relationships.

As long as the Anping Marquis married the escort agency girls, they were all high-ranking officials. Ordinary people didn't know such news, let alone that Liu Yue'e of the Liu Family was the future Marquis's wife.

Outside, people were still speculating about why the nobleman came to the Liu family, but inside, Chen Xi had already started talking to Liu Shenxia about serious matters.

"Have you decided to join the army?" Chen Xi pondered for a moment and said, "There are two options now. I can help you arrange it in Bianjing City, or I can send you to a place."

"My Lord, what is the difference?"

"If you stay in Bianjing City, you can only be a small official at most with your martial arts, and it will be difficult to get promoted. The advantage is that you can accompany Yue'e."

"What about going to the place that my Lord said?"

"You need to keep your name secret and temporarily cannot reveal any information. You will be separated from Yue'e for a long time, but you will be reused in the future."

Liu Shenxia was still considering, and Liu Yue'e, who was standing by, had already made a decision for her brother: "Brother, go and make your own way. Don't worry about me. I'll be fine."

"Sister." Liu Shenxia was a little entangled. He was very tempted. As a good man, how could he let go of fame and fortune?

"Brother, I'll stay in Bianjing. The Marquis is back, and he will take good care of me."

Chen Xi also spoke at this time: "This separation shouldn't be too long, just a few years at most."

"If it's just a few years..." Liu Shenxia gritted his teeth and responded: "Then I'll go! Marquis, I'll leave my sister to you."

"Well, don't worry about this. Yue'e is my wife who hasn't married yet. I will definitely take good care of her."

Liu Yue'e blushed slightly. I don't know if she was shy when she heard this, or because she was embarrassed by the three words "unmarried". What's the difference between her previous behavior and married?

Chen Xi and Liu Shenxia were discussing the follow-up matters.

In the court, the emperor also formally incorporated the prince's personal army, which was a child's play, into the military establishment.

At first, no one took this boy scout seriously, even the emperor didn't care, just to fool the prince.

But the boy scout's record made the emperor and the civil and military officials shine. Dealing with mountain bandits and road bullies was nothing, but Anping Hou also led the boy scouts to beat up Nanyue, which was very awesome.

Even on the Xixia side, the boy scouts were not polite. The two sides had a friendly exchange match, without weapons, only a confrontation exercise of fists and feet.

Anping Hou Chen Xi led the boy scouts and chased Xixia and beat them up, which gave the court a lot of face.

After realizing the strength of the boy scouts, the officials in the court were moved. This kind of force cannot be controlled by the prince.

In the end, the emperor argued for reason and saved the army for the prince, giving it a formal establishment and number, and Anping Hou Chen Xi also got a full-time job.

The commander of the prince's personal army is a nominal position, not officially recognized by the court, and is just a position for children to play with.

Now that there is a system, Chen Xi also has a formal military position, which is not a good thing in this dynasty that values ​​civil officials over military officials.

This is also what those officials want to do. They would rather suppress Anping Hou from becoming a military official than let him lead this army as a civil official.

People who have not passed the imperial examination cannot be civil officials.

Soon after Chen Xi returned to Anping Hou's mansion, he received the imperial edict, and he had no objection. He gladly accepted the order.

Military positions are not important now. Let's wait and see after Zhao Xi takes office. By then, it will be the end of the literati.

Those literati, who have been spoiled by the government, seem to have forgotten that no matter how hard their mouths are, they are not as hard as swords and spears.

Taizu Zhao Kuangyin was able to wear the yellow robe, not by talking, but by real military power.

If there was no Kawakami Tomie in this world, Zhao Xi would have continued the tradition of his father's generation and been educated and brainwashed by the civil officials, but they didn't know what Kawakami Tomie had taught Zhao Xi behind the scenes.

The prince and Chen Xi were waiting, waiting for the current official to die and the prince to ascend the throne. That would be the time for them to make a big move.

The shadow guards were training the hidden army. The affairs in the Anping Marquis's mansion were handled by the managers, and the four maids acted as secretaries.

Chen Xi sat in the study, followed by two maids, reporting all the news, both in the Anping Marquis's mansion and in the entire Bianjing City.

Other news was easy to talk about, but one piece of news from the Sheng family caught Chen Xi's attention. Wang Ruofu, the head wife of Sheng Hong, was actually lending money at high interest.

She really didn't know what to do!

Since Lin Qinshuang handed over the housekeeper's power, all the affairs of the Sheng family's inner house were in Wang Ruofu's hands. She was fooled by her sister and lent out the money at high interest.

This is forbidden by the imperial court. If someone reports it, Sheng Hong's official position will be over, and Sheng Molan can no longer think about being a concubine of the crown prince.

"Prepare a gift. I will visit my aunt at the Sheng family tomorrow."

"Yes, Lord."

Liu Shenxia is also preparing his luggage for a long journey at home. This time when he leaves Bianjing, he will take three escorts with him. Only Liu Yue'e and a little maid will be left at home.

To be honest, Liu Shenxia is not very reassured.

Chen Xi's opinion is to let Liu Yue'e live directly in Anping Marquis' Mansion. When she gets married, she can return to the Liu family.

Liu Shenxia disagrees. What's the matter with living in the Marquis' Mansion before getting married?

Liu Yue'e is also embarrassed. It's one thing for her to go when Chen Xi is not in the Marquis' Mansion, but it will be embarrassing for her to go again when he comes back.

Liu Yue'e has no friends in Bianjing City. Chen Xi thought of Sheng Molan. He said that he would arrange it and let Sheng Molan take Liu Yue'e to integrate into this circle little by little.

"Just be yourself, don't try to accommodate anyone."

This is what Chen Xi said, and Liu Shenxia also meant this.

"Sister, if you are unhappy after your brother leaves, just tell the Marquis directly. Even if you don't want to get married, I can support you."

"Brother, don't worry, I will be fine."

"That's good, that's good."

"Brother." Liu Yue'e was also upset. The brother and sister depended on each other, and now her brother was about to leave, leaving her alone.

Liu Shenxia patted Liu Yue'e: "Don't be sad, go to sleep, you have to follow the Marquis to visit guests tomorrow."

"...Yeah."

Chen Xi didn't care about the law at all. He was ready to take his fiancee directly to visit the door, and let Lin Yishuang look at the fiancee he chose. As for what others think, he doesn't matter.

After dawn, Liu Shenxia brought farewell to his sister and left Jingjing. After they arrived at the designated location, the shadow guard would send someone to respond to them.

Liu Yue'e has already finished cleaning up, waiting for Anping Hou to pick himself up at home.

Chen Xi sent the gift to the Sheng family first, and took Liu Yue'e himself. Then he went to the Sheng family to visit.

The Sheng family has been waiting for a long time. Sheng Ye was not worthy of ones, and he was waiting at home, because Anping Hou sent someone to send a letter and said that he had something to say about him.

Sheng Yan did not dare to neglect, but Sheng Changbai was worthy of it. He was admitted to Jinshi, and Sheng Changbai also started his career's career.

At the gate of the Sheng family, Sheng Ye took his family to welcome Chen Xi himself. After each greeting, Sheng Moran pulled Liu Yue'e's hand and took her to the backyard to meet Lin Yishuang.

Liu Yue'e's so careless personality is a bit nervous at this moment, for fear that he will leave any bad impression on his elders.

At the main hall, after people got on the tea, Chen Xi handed a look, and a sorrowful heart was in his heart. What's a big deal?

Sheng Yan waved his hands and asked his subordinates and girls to withdraw. After sure no one was overheard, he whispered: "Hou Ye, what's going on?"

Chen Xi didn't speak, but took a few pieces of paper from his arms, which recorded the things Wang Ruofu did, and he got up and gave things to Sheng Yan.

Sheng Yan took it unknown. After looking at it a few times, he almost didn't faint, and he began to look at the hands of those paper.

With the anger in his heart, Sheng Yan finished reading all the contents of the paper, sighed, put those paper on the table, and got up and worshiped: "Thank you Hou Ye to save me!"

After Chen Xi was frankly received a gift, he said, "You're polite, it is better to deal with this matter as soon as possible."

"Yes, yes, what Hou Ye said is." Sheng Yan's hand was cold, which was really scared.

"Fortunately, the lady did not put the printed money directly, but instead passed by, so change this matter." Chen Xi gave a way: "Just say that this money is lent to the other party, not the money. "

Sheng Xieqi understands, this method is good!

After lending money out, what did the family do with money and did not have much to do with his family, but they still needed to return this money as soon as possible, so as not to be delayed.

"Hou Ye is relieved, even if it is tore, I will all come back in this money."

"Well, uncle work, I rest assured that if you need help, Houfu can also send relatives to come forward. After all, we are all honored and damaged."

"Thank you!"
