It was hot in June, so Zixuan and his group had to get up early and rush to go on a break at noon. This naturally made them unhappy. It took ten days to arrive in the capital.

Mingyu had already sent someone to wait at the city gate and directly took Zixuan and his party to the other courtyard. The emperor specially ordered Zixuan and his wife to summon him and commend him for his actions in Xizhou over the years. "Zixuan, you have been away from Beijing for seven or eight years, and you have done a good job in Xizhou. This time, I will let you be the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. You must do your best and don't let my expectations down."

Zixuan quickly thanked him. "Thank you for your kindness. Even if Zixuan is torn to pieces, he will repay His grace."

The emperor smiled, "What are you who are crushed to pieces? You fought in Xizhou to keep the stability of the Northeast. That's enough. In my heart, I understand the hardships and sins you have suffered. I have issued an order to give you a house and wait to see it."

The emperor asked Zixuan to get up, and then said to Jinghan, "Ning'an, what kind of bomb you made this time is very useful. There are gunpowder arrows made of gunpowder in the court now, but there are no bombs. I ordered the Ministry of Works to recruit more skilled craftsmen, and then you can help them to perfect the thing. Although we will not take the initiative to attack others, if others come to provoke us, with these things, they can exert a lot of power."

Jinghan stepped forward to salute, "The emperor has his order, Ning An will do his best to get a few more weapons for the court."

"This time, I should have rewarded you well. But after all, you are just a woman, and I don't want you to be too popular. Then people will tell some gossip about Zixuan, so you will be wronged." The emperor said apologetically. He originally intended to be the eldest princess, but Mingyu and others persuaded him and then he did it.

Jinghan smiled, "Thank you, brother, Jinghan doesn't care about these."

"Okay, tonight, I will hold a banquet to celebrate you. Speaking of which, I have not been able to celebrate everyone's rebellion this time to quell the rebellion of the Northern Yuan and Mo families." The emperor was very happy and sent an order, saying that he would hold a celebration banquet tonight and let all the ministers in the court attend.

So, that night, civil and military officials were having a banquet in the palace. This time, due to the rebellion of the Mo family, many officials and noble families were cleaned, and there were fewer people than before.

At the banquet, everyone was very friendly to the Xu family, Zixuan, Pengcheng and others. Everyone understood that these people were the people the emperor valued the most, and even if they could not make friends with them, they would never make enemies.

After the banquet, everyone returned home, but Wen Han and others all came to Mingyu's villa. Since Zixuan and his wife came to Beijing, they have not been able to talk together yet.

"Brother, why didn't you see Ziwen and Wenxuan?" Jinghan asked strangely.

"The two of them, including Lord Wu and Lord Han, all went to the northwest to negotiate with the Northern Yuan Dynasty and discuss compensation. Wenxuan also wanted to regain the generals who were loyal to Mo Yongcheng. There was an army of nearly 300,000 in the northwest, so we could not let these people have trouble again." Wen Han said.

Jinghan nodded, "By the way, brother, although our family has made contributions in this incident, they have all been rewarded by the emperor. However, this momentum may not be a good thing. Now it seems that it is indeed extremely honorable and glorious, but if it is not done well in the future, it will be a huge disaster. Therefore, we must strictly demand our family and must not rely on the emperor's favor to cause trouble. If something happens, it will be the root of disaster in the future." Jinghan said very seriously.

"Second sister, we all know this and have done this a long time ago. I just think that maybe we can do something and avoid it for the time being." Wenchang thought for a while, and then said. "I want to ask to leave Beijing and be a magistrate or something, and I can do something for the people." Wenchang had thought so long ago, but he just had no chance.

Jinghan looked at Mingyu, "Mingyu, have you handed over the military power?"

Mingyu nodded, "After returning to the capital, he handed over the military power to the emperor. The emperor originally wanted me to take care of it for a while, so I postponed it." Mingyu didn't know how powerful it was? What if someone wrote about his own book and said that he had self-respecting his own troops and had poor intentions, that would be great? "Actually, I want to go to the Northeast this time, and we have captured a lot of places there. I want to go to guard and stay away from the capital. This might be better."

"Mingyu, the north is bitter and cold, you have to figure it out." Jinghan smiled. It would not be good if Mingyu, the prince, was always in the capital, especially the Xu family is like this again. Originally, I thought that the Xu family had only a few literati, but it would be fine. But now Wen Xuan has become a general who leads troops and has been granted a marquis. Now that the emperor is employed, he will naturally not say anything. If the Xu family has a high position and a powerful position in the future, I am afraid that the emperor will suspect Mingyu. After all, Mingyu is a prince. If Mingyu goes away, it is a good idea to stay away from the right and wrong of the capital.

"Second sister, you and your brother-in-law can stay there for seven or eight years, what's the point of being afraid of me?" Mingyu smiled.

"Mingyu, you have to think about it. If you really leave the capital and want to come back, it will be even more difficult." Wen Han and others persuaded.

"Brother, I have figured it out for a long time. The emperor is my biological brother, but he is also an emperor. He is on the throne and cannot help himself. A marquis of Zhenbei can raise an army to rebel, so what about a prince? Will the emperor always feel suspicious whenever he thinks of his brothers? Instead of destroying his brother's love, it is better to leave Beijing early. He can guard the northeast and maintain stability, and eliminate the suspicion of the brothers. Maybe this will make the brothers' love deeper." Mingyu said firmly.

After hearing this, everyone knew that Mingyu was telling the truth. "Mingyu, for the sake of the wealth of the Xu family, you have to leave the capital to such a remote place, which makes the eldest brother feel uncomfortable. It would be better for the eldest brother to resign from his official position. It would be better for our Xu family to have an official in the court." Wenhan felt sour. When he was not an official, he was looking forward to becoming an official. Only when he really became an official would he know the taste.

"Brother, no, even if there is no Xu family, Mingyu will have to leave sooner or later. Brother is a talented person, so you can't delay it just because of Mingyu." Mingyu was very moved.

"Okay, we are just worrying about it now. The emperor is a wise lord, so why would he doubt anything because of this? There are so many powerful families in the mirror. The Xu family is far behind others." Pengcheng saw that the atmosphere was a bit bad, and he said quickly.

Everyone laughed, "Okay, Zixuan and Jinghan are running all the way, but they can't rest well. It's better to rest early. If you have time, you will be together in the capital. It's convenient to meet." After Wen Han said that, he led everyone away.

Jinghan and Zixuan sent these people away, then cleaned up and went to rest. "I don't know how the family is going? Chang Shun took someone to pick up the children. Calculate the days. In a few days, it's time to come, right?"

"Well, it's almost the same. We haven't seen Qingyuan and Qingyao for more than a year. I miss them." Zixuan hugged Jinghan and comforted him, "Don't think about anything, have a good rest. I'll have to go to see our house tomorrow. How to clean up the layout, you have to worry about it."

Both of them were a little tired, and they slept quite heavily after a while.

Zixuan went to the Ministry of Revenue the next day, while Jinghan took people to the house given by the emperor to clean up.

After working hard for a day, Jinghan had just returned from the new house. Before she could sit down and rest, someone came in outside to report that Changshun had arrived. When Jinghan heard this, she couldn't sit still. She had been leaving her son and daughter, so she was so panicked. So she took the people out.

When he saw Changshun, Jinghan was a little stunned because there were no sons and daughters beside Changshun. Moreover, Changshun looked a little embarrassed. "Changshun, what's going on? What about the young master and the lady?"

"Madam, the young master and the young lady did not come, they are still in their hometown. The old man at home is seriously ill, so I am afraid he will not be able to do it. I rushed all the way and finally arrived in the capital today." The old man Changshun mentioned was the old man of the Lin family.

When Jinghan heard this, her head suddenly buzzed, "Grandpa was seriously ill? Why did he look like this? When my family sent someone to pick Qingning up a while ago, didn't he say it was pretty good?"

Jinghan quickly sent someone to find Zixuan. The couple met and discussed that they had to go back. So the two of them acted separately. Zixuan looked for Mingyu, then went to the palace to meet the emperor, and told the matter.

When the emperor heard this, he couldn't help but sigh, "Forget it, since my grandfather is critically ill, you should hurry back quickly. If you can hurry up, you might be able to see the old man for the last time. It's a pity that Ziwen is far away in the northwest and may not be able to catch up. I will send someone immediately to rush for 800 miles to see if I can let Ziwen go back too."

So Zixuan and Jinghan packed up their things overnight and took people home early the next morning. Six days later, they finally returned home.

When Lin Xing's family saw that Zixuan and his wife were back, they couldn't help but feel sad, "Go and see your grandfather, he's waiting for you. Where is Ziwen? Why didn't he come back?"

"Ziwen is in the northwest at this moment, so I'm afraid I can't come back."

"Forget it, you couple hurried in and took a look at your grandfather for the last time. He didn't swallow his breath, just waited for you." Xingjia also understood that the northwest was too far away and he couldn't get back at all.

Zixuan and Jinghan quickly entered the house and saw the old man lying on the kang. He was already breathing more and less breathing. Zixuan knelt in front of the kang and shouted loudly, "Grandpa, the unfilial grandson is back to see you."

Jinghan also knelt down and cried silently.

The old man seemed to hear Zixuan's voice, then let out a long sigh, and then his head tilted to the side.

Someone who understood the matter said, "The old man has left."

The crying sounded in the house suddenly shook the sky.
