Half a year after the war in the Southern Expedition ended, the entire southern part of the Han River belonged to the Han and Tang dynasties, and the once glorious Baiyue Mountain Kingdom gradually withdrew from the stage of history.

Li Xuansheng, who started his new year's homework, returned to Gusu, and continued to study in the morning exercises at sunrise and rest in the sunset.

However, Xiao Chenping, a kid, not only has to study his homework every day, but also deal with family affairs. The base camp of the Xiao family is in Qingzhou, and now the Xiao family in Yidu is a big family and has a big business. It can be said that the merchants in the entire Qingzhou account for more than 60%.

Qingzhou is committed to developing the salt and iron industry. One-third of the currency and official salt and iron tools in the Han and Tang dynasties came from Qingzhou. The land taxation policy was respected as a model by the Han and Tang dynasties and was vigorously promoted nationwide.

Xiao Chenping, who became the head of the Xiao family at the age of eleven, has a much higher status among the Xiao family, such as Xiao Yan, who has become the Minister of Revenue today. Not only because he is Xiao Yuan's eldest grandson, but most importantly, he is young and smart, and his insights coincide with the future of things.

On every important occasion, Xiao Chenping, as the head of the family, would give enough face to the older generation. At least he did well in respect of elders and humility. This made the Qingzhou family more firmly attached to the Xiao family and had an extremely harmonious relationship with each other.

In terms of foreign relations, the Dugu family in Jizhou is still his mother's family. As the first family to support the Li family in the Han and Tang Dynasties, the Dugu family has an extraordinary foundation. The weapons, equipment and logistics supplies of 100,000 Youyunqi all come from the support of the Dugu family.

Now Dugu Bo is a minister of the imperial court. Before leaving office, he was the chief commander of the Imperial Guard. He had two sons and one daughter, but he only loved his daughter Dugulan. As Dugu Bo's grandson, Xiao Chenping was deeply loved by the old man.

When Xiao Yu and Dugu Lan were married, they were originally loved by ordinary men and women. But the mistake was that they were not children of ordinary families. The consequences of the combination of the two major families in Jizhou and Qingzhou were not acceptable to any emperor.

Fortunately, after Xiao Chenping succeeded to the throne, he began to weaken his own power with Xiao Yuan's consent. However, the ice is not cold for a day, and the impact of the Xiao family's century-old operation cannot be eliminated in a few years.

Sometimes showing weakness is not necessarily effective, but it is enough to reassure those who sit on the throne. This is a compromise between the monarch and the minister.

As late autumn approaches, Xiao Chenping and Li Xuansheng go to admire the red maple, and add a group of six of his subordinates.

When Huang Zongxi and Zhou Baiwan heard that they were going on an autumn outing, they volunteered to explore the way without saying a word.

As for Guo Fu's schooling ended because of the beginning of autumn, he said goodbye to everyone a few days ago and returned to his hometown of Qinzhou, becoming a staff member of the Qinzhou Prefecture. Luo Yi and others were left in the Martial Arts Academy to take tutoring for their homework because they failed their homework.

There was naturally Yin Ruoli next to Li Xuansheng. This little girl knew how to refine medicine and then test medicine all day long. Li Xuansheng felt that if this continues, this girl would not have become a drug-refining maniac.

Xiao Chenping followed Lao Wu, Bai Quan and Xiao Yunque, who was dressed as a woman. As personal guards, they always stayed in a row.

Looking from the viewing building on the top of the mountain, the entire Han Mountain is covered with red leaves. Under the sunshine, the red maple mountains are like burning flames. Accompanied by the rustling autumn wind, the red maple leaves are rustling, and the maple leaves are drifting away in the wind like butterflies dancing.

The group of butterflies flew in the wind, flying together to Taihu Lake not far away.

Everyone sat around the table, Zhou Baiwan brought the Baihua wine from his home, specifically to match the beautiful scenery. When Lao Wu heard that it was Baihua wine, his eyes stared at the white porcelain wine pot on the table.

Seeing Lao Wu's hungry expression, Li Xuansheng asked Zhou Baiwan to come to a small pot to give it to Lao Wu. If it weren't for Xiao Chenping aside, Lao Wu might have called Li Xuansheng's little ancestor on the first day.

Everyone was talking and laughing, but I wonder if Huang Zongxi felt that his martial arts had improved recently and actually wanted to perform for others.

Taking out his sword, Huang Zongxi jumped down from the viewing building and walked to the open space to dance the sword. It has to be said that Huang Zongxi's sword technique has indeed improved in the past six months. The sword technique he practiced was Guili sword technique taught by Nanxun Mo to protect the Wolong Academy.

This Guili sword technique was evolved based on Li Ni's "On the Tao" and was finally formed by Shangguan Lingyun, the first swordsman of the previous dynasty, and the Five Elements and Eight Trigrams diagram. This set of sword technique consists of eight moves, and each move is divided into nine styles, and there are eighty-one moves together.

Nine-nine Rewards are both merged and left. Each move can be combined or separated, so the moves evolved by Guili Sword Technique are even more endless. Chu Xiangqi, the first swordsman in Nanyue, created his own Que Shang sword based on Guili Sword Technique. Nan Xunmo's meteor flying sword was created based on Guili Sword Technique's shaking sword.

Zhou Baiwan's alcohol capacity could not control Baihua wine. At this moment, his eyes were blurred and he said with a little drunkenness, "Isn't it a bit lonely for one person to dance in the sword? The two of them may be very happy with the sword."

Xiao Chenping nodded to Xiao Yunque and threw his sword to her, "Yunque, go! Don't hurt Mr. Huang."

Xiao Yunque took the sword and smiled, "Well, Yunque knows!"

He pulled out his sword and faced Huang Zongxi. Seeing that Xiao Yunque was like a man when he danced his sword, Xiao Chenping shook his head helplessly and said, "I only let her practice martial arts, but I didn't expect to practice her like this."

Bai Quan, who was standing aside, couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed, "It's all my fault. I forgot to teach her the female swordsmanship when I taught her!"

Xiao Chenping waved his hand and said, "Forget it! After going back, let her enter Wolong Academy. I think Fengqizhai, Tianshulou, shouldn't refuse."

Li Xuansheng didn't care about the two people who were facing the sword downstairs. In his eyes, the sword skills of the two were at most obvious. If they really went to the battlefield to kill the enemy, it would not be enough to chat.

After the autumn outing, everyone returned to Wolong Academy. Li Xuansheng received a letter asking him to go to Zhao Dan’s mansion and told him about something important. Li Xuansheng rode on Zhuifeng and immediately rushed to the city’s prefecture.

In the backyard of the state capital, when Li Xuansheng saw Zhao Dan, Zhao Dan and his servant stood respectfully outside the pavilion. Behind him, an old man dressed in a black robe with a golden dragon on his cuff, sat in the pavilion with his back to Zhao Dan and admired the autumn scenery of the garden.

Seeing Li Xuansheng arrive, Zhao Dan greeted him and said to Li Xuansheng, "Prince, please sit down! We will leave first."

Li Xuansheng slowly walked into the pavilion and bowed, "Do you dare to ask me, yes?"

The old man turned around and looked at Li Xuansheng, "Why, I don't know Grandpa Emperor anymore!"

When Li Xuansheng saw the old man turn around, he immediately recognized the old man's identity. It was Li Chongyan, the emperor who had already abdicated, and he knelt down and said, "Grandson, please pay tribute to the emperor."

Li Chongyan smiled and said, "Get up!"

Li Xuansheng stood up and thanked, "Thank you Grandpa!"

Li Chongyan pointed to the seat and said, "Sit down!"

After Li Xuansheng sat down, Li Chongyan personally poured tea for Li Xuansheng, "Xuansheng, do you know what Grandpa Emperor is doing in Gusu this time?"

Li Xuansheng took the teacup and shook his head and said, "I don't know."

"I'm here to Gusui to see my old friend, and I'll bring you a reward!"

“Reward?”

"That's right, you have made contributions to Nanzheng this time. Don't think that if you don't mention it, no one will know! My Li family man went to fight to kill the enemy. How could he not be granted the title of "

Li Xuansheng thought for a while and said, "But grandson has not joined the army and entered the mansion. I should give such credit to other people who have made contributions!"

Li Chongyan was shocked and a faint smile appeared on his face, "You child, have learned to be humble! He is much more humble than your father when he was a child! However, you will not be granted to others when you are a child, but you will give it to you when you become an adult."

"Yes, Grandpa Emperor!"

Seeing Li Xuansheng's restrained look, Li Chongyan couldn't help laughing. In the news he knew, his grandson was naughty, and now his appearance in front of him was inconsistent with what he knew.

"There is no one else here. Xuansheng, you don't have to be so restrained, relax."

When Li Xuansheng heard Li Chongyan say this, he immediately changed back to his original appearance and moved his body, "Thank you, Grandpa Emperor."

Then he picked up the refreshments in front of Li Chongyan and started eating. When Li Chongyan saw Li Xuansheng eating, he held back and smiled at the servant and said, "Go, let Zhao Dan prepare the food."

"Yes! The Emperor!"
Chapter completed!
