A big day has come for Xiao Mansion in Mayi County. The local gentry came together to celebrate Xiao Moha's safe return to Mayi. Of course, the most important protagonist is not Xiao Mohe, but Xiao Yi. Today is the day when Xiao Yi is officially crowned and named the eldest son of the Xiao family. It was originally supposed to wait until Xiao Yi turned sixteen next year, but a document from the imperial court specifically included Xiao Yi in selecting a county horse for Princess Lanling. There is no airtight wall in anything. Xiao Mohe also made a lot of friends after running around the capital, and one of them revealed the news to him. It's called choosing a county horse, but it's actually a disguised form of placing Xiao Yi under house arrest in the capital as a hostage. However, even though he knew the imperial court's intention, Xiao Mohe had no way to disobey it after discussing it with Xiao Yi, Xiao Shilian, and a group of confidant generals. Some generals also suggested that Xiao Yi should pretend to be ill, but they were afraid that if the news got out, he would be accused of deceiving the emperor. After all, Yu Wenshu was involved in this matter, and it was obviously for Xiao Yi. Since Xiao Yi has persuaded everyone to temporarily hide their strength and wait for the right time, they still have to endure it and can only send Xiao Yi to the capital. However, Xiao Mohe had other thoughts. Seeing that Xiao Yi was approaching the age of adulthood, he, as a father, began to worry about his son's marriage. The princess of Lanling is the daughter of King Wei Yang Shuang, and Yang Jian used to love Yang Shuang more than his own children. If Yang Shuang hadn't died in Xiangyang, he would have been a powerful prince now enough to influence the court's decision-making on major affairs. Yang Guang, Yang I'm sorry there's so much difference compared to him. Because of Yang Shuang's sudden death, Yang Jian held his only daughter Yang Lin, the princess of Lanling County, in his hands for fear of dropping it, and held it in his mouth for fear of it melting. If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't make her the direct princess due to patriarchal laws, She is probably the first princess of Sui Dynasty. Although she is not a princess, Princess Lanling enjoys all the treatment and privileges of a princess. Xiao Mohe and the generals all have a lucky heart. If Xiao Yi really chooses Jun Ma, then all problems will be solved. Not only will Xiao Yi achieve great success in the future, but even Xiao Maha may be allowed to return to the south to enjoy his old age. "Stop dreaming! Anyway, I already have two daughters-in-law. When the time comes, I will explain everything to the court and I can withdraw!" Xiao Yi is not optimistic about Princess Lanling. Not to mention that the Sui Dynasty has not been around for many years. Yang Jian's time is also running out, and Princess Lanling will inevitably lose power after Yang Guang takes the throne. Moreover, Xiao Yi plans to rebel, and he and his family members from the Sui royal family will definitely become mortal enemies. If he marries Princess Lanling, there will be a lot of trouble in the future. . Of course, there was no hope, so Xiao Yi simply thought about how to get out of the county horse selection as soon as possible. It was too dangerous to stay in the capital. But this time Xiao Mohe didn¡¯t agree with his son¡¯s point of view. "Although Yi'er is engaged to Princess Jinling of Dachen, my father's client conducted an investigation in Daxing Palace. According to Nian Yi, the personal maid of your fianc¨¦e Princess Chen Ting, after Zhang Lihua's death, Chen Ting was imprisoned with her. Later, Jin Wang Yang Guang wanted to interrogate her because he was investigating the disappearance of tens of millions of gold coins from the treasury. She was already very scared when she saw her mother die. When she heard that Yang Guang was going to interrogate her, she became even more frightened and accidentally knocked her over. The candlestick caused a fire, and only the maid next to her, Nian Yi, escaped alone. So, you are no longer engaged. " Xiao Yi seemed to remember what happened back then, and couldn't help but feel sad, poor Chen Ting. , who inherited her mother's beauty and her father's talent, was supposed to be a magnificent and extraordinary woman in the future, but she died at such a young age, which is really a pity. This may be the happiness and misfortune of being born in an emperor's family. At this time, Xiao Yi thought of his other little daughter-in-law, Fat Niu Xiaoya, and said: "Even if the engagement with Chen Tiao is cancelled, that child is still married to Aunt Lan's daughter Xiaoya. This should be Let's do it." Xiao Mohe said angrily: "You still have the nerve to say it? You are a four-year-old kid who is not afraid of embarrassment if you say it, you are just playing house. Besides, that Xiaoya might have ruined the Wentian Pavilion¡¯s murderous hand.¡± Xiao Yi thought of the Wentian Pavilion disciples who were chasing him and Xiaoya that day, and the fire of hatred suddenly ignited in his heart, and he said: "Father, give me a thousand elite soldiers. I must destroy those dead widows in Wentian Pavilion." Xiao Mohe shook his head helplessly, and Shangguan Wudi next to him smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty, don't even think about destroying Wentian." Tiange! With Yang Jian's backing, Wentiange is now the largest sect in the world. Don't underestimate those widows. They were all rich ladies from well-connected families and had inextricable connections with the imperial court. Otherwise, do you think that these widows will always be safe and sound when they take care of the largest sect in the world? " Xiao Yi sighed. He has been asking about Wentian Pavilion a lot in the past few years and knows that the other party is very powerful. "Uncle Shangguan is still?You call me the prince. I don¡¯t want to be the prince. I think it¡¯s better to give it to the eldest brother. Over the years, I have no longer been with my father. My eldest brother has been serving my father. How could I take this position away from him? " Xiao Mohe nodded and said: "It's rare for you to have this kind of heart. This is enough. Of course, the crown prince can only be the direct descendant, and no one can break the rules. As for your eldest brother Shi Lian, as a father, you will never treat him badly. ¡± A group of close friends also had the same idea, but they all felt warm when Xiao Yi could say these words. They will all regard Xiao Yi as their lord in the future. Who doesn¡¯t want their lord to be a kind and righteous person? , Xiao Yi is undoubtedly qualified again. Xiao Yi knows the importance of 'rules' in this era, so he can only accept it. What word was given to me today? " Xiao Yi is very concerned about his name. The eldest brother Shilian and the second brother Shilue in name are estimated to be the last generation of the Xiao family. But Xiao Mohe smiled slightly and said: "Your name was changed ten years ago. Someone has picked it up for you! " Shangguan Wudi couldn't wait to blurt out: "My son, your mentor, Senior Li, gave you the nickname Shimin. I hope you can help the world and bring peace to the people in the future. "Damn! It's called Shimin! If I change my surname again, wouldn't my friend become Li Shimin? "Can I change it? I think Shijie should be suitable for me, he is an outstanding person! " Xiao Mohe suddenly darkened his face and said displeased: "You bastard, since your teacher gave you the name and your father agreed to it, how can you change it casually? "Okay, Xiao Yi accepted his fate. On a day like this when there are guests both inside and outside the house, it is better not to make his father angry. After all the guests have arrived, the naming ceremony will begin at an auspicious time. The so-called naming ceremony, crowning It means crowning, that is, in front of the guests, under the witness of the guests, Xiao Yi's hair is tied and he wears a purple gold crown that symbolizes the status of the heir to the family. Children of the literary family wear white jade hairpins, and military generals family wear gold hairpins. . Depending on the prominent status of the family, the hairpins are different. Xiao Yi's hairpin is gold, because the Xiao family has great family influence in Jiangnan. Of course, it is the same as the Yang family of the Sui emperor and the Dugu family of the empress. , the Li Yuan family who were relatives of the emperor and the empress, and the Yuwen royal family of the Northern Zhou Dynasty who were killed by Yang Jian. Their servants, the Yuwenshu family, inherited their inheritance and became the fourth largest family, which is naturally incomparable with these four top families. After a busy day, the guests were finally sent away. The next day, Xiao Yi took the gifts prepared for his sister Xiao Jing and set off for Daxing. Xiao Mohe was worried about his son's safety, so he specially selected two people from the Xiaoqi camp. Ten elite sergeants accompanied Xiao Yi to Beijing. Before leaving, Xiao Mohe repeatedly asked Xiao Yi to try his best to get the identity of the Lanling County horse, and told Xiao Yi that if he became the Lanling County horse, then Xiao Mohe would do it. He and the 30,000 soldiers of the Xiaoqi Battalion can return to their homeland in the south as they wish. The heavy burden has been handed over to Xiao Yi, leaving him to figure it out. Xiao Yi is very confused. He knows that his father and the soldiers of the Xiaoqi Battalion are looking forward to returning to the south. On that day, he also knew that if his father did not leave Bingzhou, he would inevitably follow the Han Dynasty King Yang Liang in rebellion and eventually be killed. If he became the commander of Lanling County, he would have the opportunity to persuade Yang Jian to let his father and the 30,000 Xiaoqi battalion soldiers return. South, resolve this life and death crisis. Xiao Yi sighed and could only promise his father to comfort him first. It would be five or six years before that day came. Xiao Yi felt that there was still time to prepare, so he would still follow his original plan. Act on your thoughts.
