On the 15th day of the twelfth lunar month, there will be a great court meeting.

The emperor was not good at conduct, so he ordered the prince to supervise the country and listen to the government from the throne.

If the Zen Dynasty was discussed in private before to build momentum for public opinion, today's court meeting was a public discussion. The internal official, Luoyang Ling Yu Bing, publicly mentioned it, and the ministers discussed it, and the conclusion was the same as Empress Liang:

Things like ups and downs have happened since ancient times.

Shao Xun did not attend this court meeting, but he controlled the rhythm very well. When to formally abdicate, when to make concessions, he followed the command in everything.

After the dispersion of the dynasty, the aging Zong Zhengqing and Sima Shi, the king of Beihai, requested to enter the palace to meet the saint.

Sima Duan, the Crown Prince of the Supervisory State, followed the instructions in advance and personally led Sima Shi and several others into Zhaoyang Palace without stopping or having any reason to do so.

After seeing the emperor, the emperor and his ministers wept together.

After leaving the palace city, news spread in the capital: It may not be long now.

On December 20, Shao Xun left the city in person and went to Panyuan to meet his parents.

As for my wife and children, they arrived a day later.

The guards of Ningshuo Palace took down the pieces of luggage and placed them everywhere.

Shao Xun stood aside, dumbfounded.

Mother Liu said nonchalantly: "This is the salted watermelon that bugs like to eat. Alas, I am old and can't plant the land, so I can only make some salted waterfowl. If I wait a few years, I won't be able to make this with my own hands."

Done."

A jar of pickles was taken down and carefully put into the cellar.

"Xiao Chong, there are also some mutton sausages sent by Yin Ling." Mrs. Liu walked to another carriage and said, "Several carriages."

Shao Xun didn't react for a moment and asked: "Silver Bell——"

"People have given birth to a baby for you, and you still don't know who it is?" Ms. Liu stared.

The palace servants and guards all lowered their heads, and their hands and feet became a little faster.

Only Mrs. Tai dared to tell this kind of secret, and others would feel a chill on their necks just hearing it.

Shao Xun reacted and laughed, holding his mother's hand and saying, "Auntie is right."

"Some of them were made by Fu Bao, and I had someone install them alone." Mrs. Liu continued, "This granddaughter is so good, I don't want her to get married."

"But I don't know what to do with the vegetable fields in Ningshuo Palace. They will probably be abandoned."

"The Fenshui fish you like to eat is killed and brought over, frozen solid."

"Chunkui has been drying the mushrooms picked in Shanglin Garden for several days. Chunkui, come here."

Chun Kui came over, Qi Qi Ai Ai and Shao Xun didn't notice her at first.

"You are an eleven-year-old girl and you are still so shy," Ms. Liu joked.

"Grandpa." Chun Kui lowered her head and shouted.

"Good girl." Shao Xun responded with a smile.

There have been so many things going on in the past few years, not to mention Chou Nu, the Chun Kui brother and sister, and their biological children have rarely seen each other, and they have become a bit alienated.

But after saying "good girl", Chun Kui had a smile on her face and raised her head to look at Shao Xun.

"What did you learn this year?" Shao Xun asked, feeling ashamed.

"I learned poetry and music theory." Chun Kui replied softly.

"It's better than being a father." Shao Xun said with a smile: "Where is the ugly slave?"

Before Chun Kui could answer, Mrs. Liu said, "He is training with the guards of Ningshuo Palace this year and is working hard."

Shao Xun nodded.

The two brothers and sisters were brought up by the queen. After her mother heard about them, she felt pity for them and often called them to have dinner with them and give them rewards.

That's her temperament.

He was unforgiving in his words, but he was soft-hearted and kind. He never punished the palace people and often forgave them for their mistakes.

In fact, the rewards and punishments were a bit unclear, but Shao Xun let her do whatever she wanted, no matter what.

Compared with my mother, my father is different.

He really killed people.

After drinking once, he hesitated and said that he had "robbed" him more than once during the Ping Wu Dynasty.

Shao Xun is also a martial artist, so how can he not understand the old martial artist?

The father and son looked at each other and smiled, saying nothing.

When I came to Luoyang from Pingyang, I heard that my father had a sudden sexual desire and actually asked someone to wear armor for him.

The guards couldn't resist him, so they brought a set of Mingguang armor and actually put it on and walked a few steps.

It's really amazing that an old man over seventy can still do this.

At this moment, he was silently watching the guards assign sentry posts in the front yard, and came over after a long time.

"Grandpa." Shao Xun stepped forward and saluted.

Chun Kui also bowed.

Shao Xiu didn't say much, nodded, and then gave a signal with his eyes.

Shao Xun understood.

The father and son walked out for more than ten steps and came to the bamboo forest.

"Lan Ji, Jin Dao mother and son are a bit estranged." Shao Xiuyan said simply and concisely.

Shao Xun was a little surprised.

"That Lucky is not a good thing!" After saying that, Shao Xiu waved his hand and left directly to go to Liu's place to help.

Shao Xun stood by the bamboo forest for a long time.

My father rarely talks much, and he rarely comments on the generals of the shogunate. This time he actually criticized Lucai by name, which must be a very serious opinion.

Lucky came to Luoyang very early, and later went to Pingyang. He came here together again this time. Something must have happened in between.

Shao Xun thought about it for a while and probably had some idea.

In fact, it's just a normal instinct of a wealthy family. If it were someone else, the father would probably be too lazy to say more, but what if it was his own grandson?

Shao Xun didn't plan to do anything for the time being. He planned to wait for Lan Ji to come and find a good time to ask.

It's normal for Lejia to have ideas, but it's strange if he doesn't.

Next, when we attack Jiangdong, Lejia is the main force, at least all the way.

Shao Xun vaguely remembered that Le Kai had been on the road a while ago and said that he had repelled Tao Kan's offensive against Wancheng and recovered all the lost ground. Next year he will organize a wave of siege on Xiangyang to save face.

Loyalty is not a problem.

After a lot of busy work, it soon arrived at noon.

"What's for lunch?" Mrs. Liu looked at the sky and asked.

"The soup cakes made by grandma are the most delicious. Let's cook some meat." Shao Xun said with a smile.

"Go and move firewood." Mrs. Liu looked at the kitchen and directed.

"Okay." Under the guard's troubled eyes, Shao Xun grabbed a few bundles of thatch and a bundle of dead branches, trotted into the kitchen, and sat behind the earthen stove.

Pan Yuan had an iron pot with two large mouths, so an earthen stove was set up.

Several more people came to Pan Yuanzhong.

Liu Ye, who was pregnant, bowed to his father Shao and his mother, and then went to rest inside.

Sisters Jin Yuehua and Jin Yuehui appeared in front of their parents for the first time.

Mrs. Liu was a person of public interest and greeted Shao Xun with a smile, but behind her back, she complained a few words to Shao Xun, saying that she didn't like the women in the family anymore as they got older, and they only messed with young women.

Shao Xun turned a deaf ear and didn't care.

Jin Yuehua changed into light home clothes and made noodles with her mother.

Shao Xun hooked his fingers and called the little girl Jin Yuehui over, and they sat on the pony together.

The little girl was injured and frowned slightly when she sat down.

This was caused by Shao Xun. It was her first time. She bled a lot last night and finally gave up halfway.

Shao Xun skillfully lit the thatch and put it into the stove hole, then took out a few bean stalks and slowly stuffed them in.

The "cracking" sound of explosion gradually sounded.

"Never seen it?" Shao Xun asked.

Jin Yuehui shook his head, hesitated, picked up a few bean stalks and handed them over.
