Abandoning concubines and raising children to seize the throne

Half a month later, the carriage finally arrived at the capital.

Yin Qingxuan really couldn't stand the bumps and stayed in the space with Xiao Nanfeng most of the time.

During this period of time, she discovered that Xiao Nanfeng was not only smart, but also a good candidate for martial arts.

At such a young age, he not only learned Tang and Song poems, but also had an astonishingly deep internal strength. He had the Piaomiao Heart Sutra in his left hand and the Zifu Heart Sutra in his right hand. He even learned Pavilion Master Xiao's Huiyin Flute. Yin Qingxuan really couldn't imagine what he had learned when she was not by Xiao Nanfeng's side.

"Ahem, do you... like practicing martial arts?"

Selfishly, Yin Qingxuan didn't want Xiao Nanfeng to be too ambitious. After all, the higher the ability, the greater the responsibility. Learning the art of being an emperor was what he should do.

Xiao Nanfeng blinked her big eyes and said, "I like it. If I learn martial arts, I can protect my mother."

Yin Qingxuan held her soft and fragrant son in her arms and said earnestly, "In the future, you will have to protect the people of the world, not your mother. If you want all the people to live a good life, you will need a lot of knowledge."

Xiao Nanfeng asked in confusion: "Isn't mother also a commoner? There is no conflict between learning knowledge and martial arts."

"Uh...this..."

That seems to be the case too.

Xiao Nanfeng stretched out his little hands, hugged her neck, and comforted her in a baby voice: "Don't worry, mother, I will become a great hero like father, who can govern the country and fight off the bad guys!"

Yin Qingxuan chuckled.

"Don't always think about beating people up, but win them over with virtue."

Xiao Nanfeng waved his little fist.

"Granny Cui said that bad guys must be beaten. If they are not beaten, they will not obey."

Yin Qingxuan rolled her eyes.

As expected of Cui Yu, he is very violent.

After saying this, Xiao Nanfeng scratched his head and asked in confusion, "But what Grandma Feng and mother said are almost the same. Who should I believe?"

Yin Qingxuan thought for a moment and said with a smile: "What both mothers-in-law said makes sense, and you will understand it slowly."

Xiao Nanfeng let out an "oh" and jumped off Yin Qingxuan.

"I want to play in the playground, can mom accompany me?"

"Okay!"

Most of the time, Xiao Nanfeng played alone in the space. Since she traveled to this world, she had spent very little time with her child. This was a rare opportunity to enhance the mother-child relationship, so Yin Qingxuan naturally would not refuse.

While the mother and son were sitting in the space playing, Ye Jingyu was teaching Cheng Fenglou. This child was a grateful and motivated person, and Ye Jingyu liked him very much.

Even in such a chaos in Yincheng, he was able to calm down and read. After not seeing him for a few months, he could already answer questions fluently and even put forward his own opinions. In time, he will surely become a loyal minister.

Several old ministers in the court died or retired, leaving huge vacancies both in civil and military positions. The rest either pretended to be dead or sick all day long, or were like old grass sitting on the wall, bending with the wind, fearing that the fire would burn themselves. Ye Jingyu naturally looked down on such people.

Now that he has missed the autumn examination, he doesn't know whether the selection of civil and military officials can proceed normally. Ye Jingyu urgently needs a group of fresh blood to fill the vacancies in the court. Cheng Fenglou is one of the candidates he has chosen.

During the more than ten-day journey, Xiao Cheng also gained a lot. It is an honor for him to be personally taught by the emperor. Looking around the world today, few people have this privilege.

In a blink of an eye, we arrived at Wulipo outside Jingcheng.

Upon learning that the Zhou capital was just ahead, Cheng Fenglou couldn't help but get excited. He stretched his neck to look forward, wishing he could grow two wings so he could see the prosperity of the capital city as soon as possible.

Just when they were excited, they heard a sound of hooves. A group of soldiers and horses were galloping into the city. The sound of horses' hooves made the ground rumble. From the sound, they knew they were carrying long swords and heavy armor.

Although Cheng Fenglou did not know martial arts, he still immediately drew out the long sword on the shaft of the carriage. As a minister, it is his responsibility to protect the safety of the monarch.

He stood up on the shaft of the cart, raised his sword and shouted, "Stop, who are you?"
