Just in the Middle, You Told Me This is Journey to the West

Mother Chen asked with concern.

"Thank you grandma and mother for your concern. Qi'er returned from Chang'an City a month ago, stopped at Grandpa's place in Qingzhou Mansion for a few days, and then came back from Qingzhou."

Chen Qi held the original grandmother Shao's hands, clearly feeling the care from the heart of the two, and replied softly.

I was also slightly moved in my heart.

"You child, why don't you let your uncle and grandpa send someone to send a message in advance?"

Mother Chen blamed Chen Qi when she heard Chen Qi's answer.

After Chen's mother finished speaking, she glanced at the little book boy Chen An and the nurse Zhou Chong behind him, and couldn't help frowning: "Didn't your grandfather and uncle send someone to escort you for a ride, why did you three come back by yourself?" gone?"

Different from the other women of the Chen family, Mother Chen was born in the Yang family of Qingzhou, so she was more aware of the dangers outside, so when she saw Chen Qi and the three of them coming back, she immediately frowned, complaining and blaming her father and brother.

Chen Qi also heard Mother Chen's concern, and said with a smile: "Mother misunderstood grandpa and uncle, they wanted their son to stay in Qingzhou City for a few more days, but the son was eager to go home, so grandpa and uncle didn't have time Signaling."

"As for the escort, my grandfather and uncle originally planned to send a team of government soldiers and Captain Fumo to escort them, but my son refused."

"Later on this matter, the son will explain to his mother in detail the reason for the inner interest. I really can't blame my uncle and grandfather."

He was telling the truth, originally Chen Qi's grandfather Yang Jingming wanted to send guards to escort him, but Chen Qi refused.

After all, in the entire Qingzhou Mansion, apart from the mysterious Bai Yu'er in Furong Garden, the strongest person is the ancestor of the Yang family in Qingzhou, a second-rank master of martial arts.

The other ones are no stronger than third-rank masters, and all of them hold important positions in Qingzhou Prefecture. You can't let Chen Qi be guarded by the county guards of the imperial court and the prefecture, right?

If you think about it, you know it's impossible.

As for those below the third-rank master realm?

For Chen Qi, it is simply dispensable, and it is not as convenient as traveling alone.

So facing the good intentions of the Yang family in Qingzhou, Chen Qi directly refused.

And Chen Qi's uncle and grandfather also knew the strength of Chen Qi's third-rank Confucianism, so they didn't insist.

Chen's mother didn't know the reason, and thought that her father and brother didn't care about her son, so she was a little angry.

"Well, well, tell your mother in detail later, if your uncle and grandfather treat you badly, mother will stand up for you."

Chen's mother nodded when she heard Chen Qi's answer, but she was still a little bit aggrieved.

"Meet three aunts."

After Chen Qi dealt with his grandmother and mother, he saluted and said hello to the three aunts behind his grandmother Shao.

"It's good that Qi'er is back. Just now, mother-in-law and sister-in-law were still worried about you. They never thought that what they wanted would come true. After a while, you will come back safely."

Chen Qi's second uncle's wife, Shang Shi, said with a smile.

After Shang finished speaking, the other two aunts also expressed their concern.

In addition, Liu Shi, a concubine of the third uncle Chen Xi, did not come because she was recuperating in the third uncle's home because she was more than eight months pregnant.

Naturally, Chen Qi didn't care about this, and expressed his congratulations, and entrusted the gift prepared for Mrs. Liu to Mrs. Wang, the first wife of the third uncle, to deliver it on her behalf.

"Brother, brother, does Qing'er have any presents?"

Hearing that Chen Qi had prepared gifts for the aunts, the youngest sister, Chen Xueyi, who was only five or six years old, ran out of the crowd in a hurry, hugged Chen Qi's thigh, and asked pitifully while staring at her big watery eyes.

The little girl had a good relationship with the former 520 body, but now it's only been a year, and she has more or less given birth, so she didn't run out immediately.

Now that I heard the gift, I couldn't bear it anymore, ran out and hugged Chen Qi's thigh and started acting cute.

"Haha, yes, yes, how could I forget the little princess of our Chen family, everyone has it."

Chen Qi looked at his cute little sister, couldn't help but hug her up, and said with a smile.

Enjoying the care of everyone in the Chen family, Chen Qi was also deeply moved.

At this moment, he seemed to have truly replaced the original owner, and he also recognized the Chen family, a small family in a small county town in the Tang Dynasty.

rather than a purely causal relationship.

It is naturally a great joy that the eldest son of the Chen family, Chang'an, will come back for a trial.

Not only did the Chen family put up lanterns and festoons as if they were celebrating a happy event, other families in Qingyang County also came to visit after hearing about this incident.

After all, Qingyang County is only a small county, and the news is very congested.

So everyone didn't know about Chen Qidian's attempt to destroy the Buddha.

What's more, although Chen Qi passed the general examination and obtained Jinshi status, he came back in despair.

I really want them to know what Chen Qi has done, to know that Chen Qi is hated by the emperor, and disliked by all the officials in the court.

I'm afraid they won't be like this, and they dare not even step into the door of the Chen family when they can't tell.

After all, it is human instinct to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages! .

Chapter 128

In the evening, Chen Qi finally saw the father of this body, Chen Yi.

It has to be said that Chen Yi can definitely be regarded as a handsome and handsome man, otherwise Chen Mu, the fifth young lady of the Yang family in Qingzhou, would not have been attracted to marry when she was young.

Even in middle age, he is still handsome and extraordinary, giving people a gentle and elegant feeling.

The most important thing is that Chen's father's martial arts talent is indeed very good, and now he is only in his forties, and he is already a martial artist at the peak of the sixth rank.

Don't think that this kind of practice is very slow.

Think about Fang Yiai, the son of the prime minister in the Tang Dynasty, who has countless resources to support and top-notch kung fu inheritance, and there is no shortage of natural materials and earthly treasures.

All kinds of famous teacher guidance is indispensable.

The results of it?

The bone age is more than [-] years old, and he is no more than the fifth rank of martial arts.

It's not the peak of the fifth rank, at most it's the middle stage of the fifth rank of martial arts.

So he is still a well-known young hero in Chang'an City, who is loved and praised by the Emperor Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty.

Father Chen was born in Qingyang, a small county town. Not to mention natural talents and earthly treasures, even practicing martial arts skills is a yellow-level master.

However, he was able to become famous in a state capital when he was young, and he reached the peak of the sixth rank of martial arts in his forties, which is enough to show that his martial arts talent is not bad.

Of course, Chen Qi also knew that Father Chen's current cultivation would not have been possible without the support of Mother Chen and the Yang family in Qingzhou.

But this cannot ignore Father Chen's own martial arts and heaven.

Moreover, according to Chen Qi's observation, although Chen's father's martial arts cultivation base is only at the sixth rank, his foundation is extremely solid. With the help of enlightenment skills and resources, it is not difficult to break through the fifth rank of martial arts.

As for the fifth rank of martial arts, even in Qingzhou County, it can become the mainstay.

Not to mention the county guards and governors, there must be no problem with a city defense general with a thousand soldiers.

When Chen Qi thought of this, he felt that he had a greater confidence in saying that Father Chen and his family were going to Qingzhou County.

"The child has seen the father, the mother!"

After dinner, Chen Qi and Chen's father and mother returned to the big house owner's courtyard.

"What's going on, my father received a letter from your uncle earlier, saying that you have passed the Chang'an City Examination and obtained an official position in the court, and you need to stay in Chang'an. Why did you suddenly come back now?"

Father Chen frowned and asked, obviously it was hard to understand Chen Qi's sudden return, and he didn't know what happened in Chang'an City.

This is also understandable, after all, traffic jams are very heavy in this era, and the Chen family is just a small family in a small county.

Even though Chen's father had traveled to Qingzhou County when he was young, he still didn't know the twists and turns in the court.

If you tell him something about the scholar of the Hanlin Academy, it's no wonder he knows what kind of official position it is.

It is even more unclear whether the position of scholar of the Hanlin Academy is valued by the emperor, or whether the emperor hates being assigned to it.

And everyone in the Yang family also wanted to avoid Chen's father and mother's worries, so they didn't mention Chen Qi's plan to destroy the Buddha, which aroused the disgust of the emperor.

After all, in the view of the Yang family, this is not a problem.

Isn't it just that the emperor doesn't like it?

What is this.

The big deal is to wait until the later stage to find a real vacancy for my grandson in Qingzhou Mansion through other relationships.

We can't be the capital officials of Chang'an City. Could it be that we can make our grandson feel wronged when we get to our own territory?

Of course, this also needs to wait until the limelight of the Chang'an Palace Examination has passed.

After all, the emperor can't just assign your grandson to the Imperial Academy as a school clerk from the ninth rank, and you turn around and give your grandson the fifth-rank master book and sixth-rank documents in the entire Qingzhou county, right?

You said, if you want to do this, are you slapping the Emperor Datang in the face?

Isn't this clearly going against the emperor of the Tang Dynasty?

Therefore, according to the words of Chen Qi’s grandfather Yang Jingming, that is: “I originally wanted to let you go back to Qingzhou next year and prepare a six-rank county government document for you to learn experience. The small county official's document must be useless''."

From the understatement of grandfather Yang Jingming's words, it can be seen how terrifying the power of the great Tang family is.

You can also think about how helpless Li Shimin, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, was.

Of course, the Zhenguan period was not bad, at least Li Shimin was just ostracized by the aristocratic family and became a half-puppet emperor.

Why do you say it is a half puppet?

Because Li Shimin is the hero of a generation after all, even if he is ostracized by the aristocratic family, he can still fight for two rounds with the aristocratic family.

If it was the Tang Xuanzong Li Longji period in history, it would be crazy.

Because a certain brain-dead emperor not only assigned the power of appointing officials and the power of finance and taxation to the Jiedu envoys under his hands, but also distributed the military power.

This is equivalent to letting Datang directly change from a centralized monarchy to a vassal state.

The last Anlushan Rebellion directly caused Datang to fall apart and completely decline.

The twists and turns in the officialdom of the Tang Dynasty are tortuous and complicated, which is by no means clear to Chen's father and Chen's mother.

It is also impossible for Chen Qi to say that he wrote an article blindly, offended Buddhism, and displeased the emperor, and resigned because he was afraid.

Not to mention that he killed the son of Prime Minister Fang Xuanling and left Chang'an City to avoid suspicion and misfortune.

As the son of man, when he is working outside, he must report the good news but not the bad news.
