Yan Cheng took a deep breath and forced himself to close his eyes.
His father trusts him, his mother cares for him, his younger brother is as close to him as ever, and now he has a gentle and virtuous wife. His life is so happy. In a few days, Yan will devote himself to a great cause.
Just when it was time for the family to be united, he couldn't let his discord jeopardize the family's future.
So what if he is not his mother's biological child? He is still the eldest son of the Yan family and has responsibility on his shoulders.
Those unimportant things... let's wait until the overall situation is decided.
In short, as long as his father approves of him, his status will not be shaken.
Perhaps it was because he hadn't had a good night's sleep in many days, so Yan Cheng temporarily persuaded himself to sleep until daybreak before waking up.
Hearing some movement in the room, Mrs. Xie came in with a smile: "Did you sleep well, husband?"
Yan Cheng stood up quickly and asked unhappily: "Why didn't you call me?"
Is it already around midnight? I'm afraid the morning meeting is over. There are so many things to do now, how can he be lazy?
Xie timidly said: "I shouted, but my husband was too asleep, so I sent someone to the main courtyard to tell me that I won't go to eat today, so that you can sleep for half an hour longer. My father heard this and told me
Let you get up after you have had enough sleep..."
It turned out to be his father's explanation. Yan Cheng's mood calmed down and he apologized to Mr. Xie: "I'm afraid that I delayed the business and was in a hurry."
After thinking about it, he said to her: "Look at me, I get impatient when I have a temper. It's my fault for being irritated, and you deserve to be annoyed."
This was an apology to her. Ms. Xie felt happy and said with a smile: "But I have a good temper. What should I do if I can't get angry?"
Yan Cheng couldn't help but laugh, and while he spread his arms to let her take care of his clothes, he said, "Even if you scold someone now, I won't reply. Do you really not want to?"
"I don't have that much to be angry about. Let's save it for the next time I get really annoyed."
The two chatted and laughed, and the atmosphere relaxed.
Breakfast has been delivered, and Ms. Xie is eating it with him.
"This is the Guyuan soup prescribed by the doctor." She served a bowl of chicken soup and said, "My mother told me several times and it was simmering last night."
Yan Cheng's mood was complicated. It was just a bowl of tonic soup. He didn't know how much he had eaten since he was a child, but as soon as he thought that his mother was not his biological mother, he felt that all this was not natural. He had been staring at it every day for more than ten years.
How much effort does it take?
There's no way his mother could harm him, right?
After the two of them finished eating, Mr. Xie sent him out. Yan Cheng turned around and saw his wife standing at the door with a smile, gentle, bright and affectionate.
He couldn't help but smile. Although she was not the one who moved his heart the most, once you get along with her, you will find that she is also a very lovely woman.
"Brother, look at your happy face. It's really different now that you're married!" A voice suddenly came out from behind, and then a hand stretched out and hooked his shoulder.
"Go away!" Yan Cheng shook him off, "I'm dead again."
Yan Ling laughed and apologized without sincerity: "I blame you. My eldest brother is the owner now. How can I touch him casually?"
Yan Cheng just wanted to give him a roll of his eyes and scolded him: "What nonsense are you talking about? I'm already engaged, but I still haven't learned to be more careful! Do you still want to get married?"
As soon as this topic came up, Yan Ling's vitality was pinched. He immediately restrained himself, clasped his hands and lowered his head obediently: "I was wrong. Your Excellency has a lot. Don't be offended."
Yan Cheng couldn't help but laugh and knocked on his head: "That's it. You look so worthless, you're only thinking about this!"
Gu Yong
"It's a big deal to start a family and start a career!" Yan Ling said plausibly, "How can you call me useless!"
When the brothers arrived at the outer study room, the morning meeting was indeed over.
When Duke Zhao saw them coming, he asked, "A Cheng, are you feeling better?"
Yan Cheng replied: "Father, don't worry, I'm fine! But there have been a lot of things lately, and I always want to take a break. It's not because I'm tired."
Duke Zhaoguo saw that his face was rosy and he did not look sick. He smiled and nodded: "I have been really busy recently. You just got married and it's been an eventful year, so you haven't had any free time."
"Yes, yes, if Aji hadn't been chirping, I would have wanted to sleep for one more hour." Yan Ling saw the opportunity and interrupted.
Duke Zhao immediately blew his beard and glared: "You're not married yet, why are you so lazy? You're half an hour late for morning practice today, so you have the nerve to say it!"
"I've just come back! I've been on the road for several days! Father, you are so partial. You talk softly to your eldest brother, but you shout and kill me!" Yan Ling yelled.
"You still have the nerve to compete with your elder brother? He didn't take a day off except for the wedding day. As for your kid, you abandoned Rong Guan and ran away without even waiting to send a message."
"How can you blame me? If the marriage I was looking forward to is gone, I will be single!"
"It's a matter of marriage, I'm really not ashamed!"
"It is only natural that men should marry when they are older."
Duke Zhao was angry and funny: "You are so shameless, why don't you get along with your elder brother?"
Yan Cheng was also amused and said good things to him: "The waiter went out this time and did some serious work. Without the news he brought back, we are a little unsure, father, don't you think so?"
"Okay, I know you are protecting your brother." Zhao Guogong shook his head, put away his smile and said business, "Since you are all here, let's get down to business. Cheng, you continue to take care of military affairs, and A Ling will go with me.
military."
The brothers responded solemnly: "Yes."
Raising an army is not a simple matter. Food, grass, personnel, people's hearts...everything must be taken care of. Duke Zhao will personally lead the army. When the time comes, Yan Ling will follow his command and Yan Cheng will take charge of the rear. If he
If the cooking is not good, the soldiers and horses will be constrained outside. Such a huge responsibility is related to the life and death of the Yan family. His father handed it over to him without hesitation, and the waiter did not have any doubts. His mother never interfered in military affairs.
Only Mr. Xie took good care of him.
Yan Cheng took a deep breath, quickly put away his thoughts, and devoted himself to today's affairs.
Without that sudden life experience, his life was so happy, so why should he doubt it and make himself miserable?
During the lunch break, Yan Cheng's confidants came in and whispered, "Your Majesty, there is a message from Daming Temple that they want to see you."
Yan Cheng said calmly: "I have a lot of things to do, so I don't have time to see her. Just ask someone to keep an eye on her, don't let anyone come out, and don't treat her badly."
"yes."
…
At the end of the year, the Yan clan raised troops in Tongyang and launched a crusade against the rebellion, which shocked the world.
The Prince of Dongjiang, the Prince of Hexing, the Zhao family in Zhangzhou, and the governors of various states either raised troops or refused the imperial edict to attack the puppet emperor Gao Huan.
At the same time, the entire Nanyuan government was in mourning for the late emperor.
Princess Changning knelt down at the emperor's mausoleum in the distance and burst into tears.
"Father, brother, please wait, the good days of the emperor are coming to an end. He will definitely pay for this blood debt with blood!"
