On how cannon fodder became a group favorite [Transmigration Book]

It was when the war was just quelled, Xie Yuanjia directed the civil and military officials to restore the order in the capital bit by bit, everything was waiting to be done, everyone was very busy.

The man who came to rescue Xiang Chu with him was Xiang Li, the patriarch of the Xiang clan in Xingzhou. Xie Yuanjia still vaguely remembered the matter of the Xiang clan that Fu Jinghong had taught him a long time ago, so he hurriedly received him in person.

Xiang Li looked at the immortal demeanor, and it was indeed the case. He sat on a chair and drank tea without favor or humiliation. Although there were not a few young people in the Xiang family who became officials, the family had always been very low-key and secretive, and did not get involved in worldly affairs easily. Especially these major events of the imperial court, the patriarchs in the past have handled them in this way.But this time he suddenly brought the elites of the clan out to rescue him, probably for Xiang Chu.

"I'm grateful in my heart. I don't know if sir has any rewards you want?" Although Xie Yuanjia felt that a person like Xiang Li would definitely not have anything he wanted, he still had to ask, otherwise it would be too impolite .

Xiang Li put down his teacup, and respectfully raised his hands towards Xie Yuanjia: "Your Majesty's reputation is too high, Caomin is just a villager, and I can't afford to say 'Sir'. As for the matter of saving you, it is what I should do as a Dacheng citizen, Your Majesty." There is no need to thank you like this, and the grassroots don't need any reward from the emperor."

What a fearless spirit this is!Xie Yuanjia was so moved that he came all the way to rescue him, but he didn't want anything. He had to find a way to praise such a good person, otherwise he would be sorry for coming so far.

Xiang Chu on the side smiled and said: "The emperor doesn't know, this uncle was an official in the court 20 years ago, so he has feelings for this place."

"Oh?" Xie Yuanjia looked over and couldn't help nodding his head in praise: "So, sir, you have been an official with the teacher before?"

The amazing thing is that Chunyuya, who always had a smile on his face, sat expressionless this time, frowning slightly, looking a little absent-minded, Xie Yuanjia yelled several times before bringing him back to his senses.

"Ah... yes." Chun Yuya nodded immediately, without raising her eyes to look at Li and the emperor, "In the early years, the early years were indeed colleagues of each other."

Xie Yuanjia saw that his spirit was not right, and he was very worried: "Teacher, your complexion is so bad, did you not have a good rest recently?"

"If you go back to the emperor, I'm fine." Chunyuya stopped shaking her fan, "I just stayed for a while."

Xie Yuanjia didn't understand why Chunyuya looked devastated, so he listened to Xiang Li talking at the other end, "Cao Min saw that the prime minister's complexion is pale, presumably it's not just because he didn't have a good rest, maybe it's because he doesn't eat well."

Hearing what he said, Xie Yuanjia immediately agreed: "Yeah, the teacher always eats very little, and I always ask him to eat more, but he always refuses, saying that he should go on a diet to lose weight, and he is already too thin. It’s true, but it’s still going to be reduced, which will do a lot of harm to the body.”

Xiang Li looked at Chun Yuya, and his tone didn't quite agree: "How can the prime minister ignore his body? He's in his thirties, and he doesn't know what's important like those young people, how can he do it?"

Chunyuya remained silent, with her head down so that she couldn't see the expression on her face clearly.

its not right……

Xie Yuanjia looked at the two people in confusion. No matter how they looked, they didn't look like they had a harmonious relationship when they were in court, especially Xiang Li, who was not only a little reproachful, but also... distressed?

Suddenly, I remembered that Fu Jinghong had told him at that time that the person who had a romantic relationship with Chunyuya back then was also surnamed Xiang, could it be...?

"Your Majesty, I feel a little unwell, can I please leave first?" Chun Yuya stood up and bowed to Xie Yuanjia, his face was indeed very tired.

Xie Yuanjia realized that the relationship between the two of them was unusual, how could he bother the teacher's good deeds, a bad marriage would be kicked by a donkey, so he nodded quickly and said: "Okay, okay, teacher, go back quickly."

Sure enough, he wanted to leave, so Xiang Li also stood up, arching his hands and expressing that he wanted to go out of the palace.

Xie Yuanjia hurriedly waved his hand to let them go together, he was quite happy in his heart, "If this is true, Aiqing, I'm afraid you will need another aunt."

Xiang Chu looked confused, he still didn't know what happened: "Auntie? What auntie?"

Xie Yuanjia wanted to find out the details for his teacher, so he asked Xiang Chu who was simpler than him: "Xiang Aiqing, does your uncle have a wife?"

"My uncle has never married a wife." Xiang Chu answered honestly, although he didn't know why the emperor cared so much about his uncle, but he thought in his heart that the emperor must have the emperor's intentions, and he answered every question.

Xie Yuanjia was satisfied.

"Then, is there anyone close to him all these years? For example, someone he likes?"

"Never." Xiang Chu replied, "Someone in the clan has also rumored that the little uncle once fell in love with someone in the early years, but he came back after being frustrated in love, and devoted himself to dealing with the affairs of the clan, and never found anyone else. "

So infatuated, it seems that Chun Yuya is not unrequited love.

"How did you move here to rescue the soldiers this time? I remember that you, the Xiang family, were not born."

Xiang Chu scratched his head, a little puzzled: "I am also puzzled by this matter. After the accident in the capital, I have not received the kit from the people of King Chen at that time, so I can only go back to the clan overnight to send reinforcements."

"The little uncle of the minister has always been a cold-tempered person. Originally, he must have ignored this matter. It is normal to change the dynasty. Our family rules are not to interfere with these matters. But when he heard that the capital was under siege, he took him with him the next day. I will come back with my servants."

"He even came along himself."

Xiang Chu couldn't figure out the reason, "Why is uncle so warm-hearted?"

Xie Yuanjia narrowed his eyes with a smile, he knew there was something to be said about this matter, the patriarch who is so cold and indifferent to world affairs, heard that the capital was in trouble, immediately thought that Chunyuya might be in trouble, he didn't care about anything and brought people to kill him directly in the capital Rescue, even family rules are not needed, this is not love, what is it?

"Your Majesty, what do you mean by auntie?" Xiang Chu still hasn't forgotten this.

Xie Yuanjia smiled mysteriously, "Xiang Aiqing will naturally know after a while."

Xie Yuanjia and Xiang Chu were still chatting about homework, but Chunyuya panicked outside.

As soon as he left the gate of Jingying Palace, he found someone was following him, and he knew who it was without looking back.This scene had appeared many times in his dreams, but when this day really came, he was timid and hesitant, wondering if he should turn around.

What if, what if you are disappointed again?

"Are you going to keep walking like this?" Xiang Li asked coldly behind him.

Chunyuya stopped, and finally turned to look at him. She no longer had that elegant and fairy air in front of outsiders, as if a mouse saw a cat: "Xiang Patriarch."

Xiang Li didn't respond to this sentence, he walked up to Chunyu Ya, they were about the same height from a distance, but Xiang Li was actually a little taller than Chunyu Ya when he approached, he looked down at Chunyu who was also bowing his head Ya, sneered:

"Why, when you came to the gate of my house several times, didn't you feel confident? Now you are so afraid when you see me? To the patriarch?"

"Ah, Ali." Chunyuya stammered, his face was full of embarrassment, "Then I should stay away from you?"

Xiang Li was a little annoyed, he grabbed Chunyuya's shoulder and pushed him against the wall, trapped him in his arms, and said viciously: "Now you know how to stay away from me?"

"Since you have the courage to look back for me and stand in front of us, why don't you have the courage to open the door and come in? Weren't you arrogant and reckless back then? Why are you so cowardly now?"

Chunyuya looked up at him and sighed, "You shut me out, how can I push the door in?"

"I don't remember what kind of gentleman you are." Xiang Li smiled disdainfully, "Why, live according to my way, have you really forgotten your own nature?"

Chunyuya was embarrassed by what he said, and finally gave up after some struggles: "Ali, I have already received the punishment I deserved. I was indeed a bit of a jerk back then, and I really couldn't stand the temptation, and I almost made a mistake."

"But it's been almost 20 years, am I really that unforgivable?" He looked at Xiang Li seriously, "If you really feel uneasy, we still have another 20 years, I don't care."

"If you really don't want to see me, and I won't look for you again, why can't you calm down?"

His expression was very blank. Chunyuya had never shown such a blank expression before, "The emperor said that although I have brought the blame on myself, it doesn't mean that I am not qualified to be happy again. What kind of hatred is worth our entanglement for so many years?"

Xiang Li was silent. When he ran away from the capital overnight, his mood was so desolate and desperate that he could not forget the pain of that night for many years later. No one could trample his dignity under his feet like this.

But as Chun Yuya said, they have been together for almost 20 years, do they really want to continue to suffer like this?Why did he come to the capital this time, he didn't know?

"I seldom get angry, but when I get angry, no one can persuade me." Xiang Li looked at him deeply, "I see you now, and I still think you are hateful, but..."

"I'll give you another chance." Xiang Li was persuasive, he stroked Chun Yuya's hair and said softly, "As long as you are willing to follow me this time, I will let the past go."

Chunyuya showed hesitation, "I'm afraid I can't promise you."

"It's not that I'm greedy for power and can't bear the name of the prime minister. It's just that after the war, the emperor lacks people around him. The general and the prince haven't returned yet. No one in the court can help the emperor take care of the situation."

"I have to help the emperor to stabilize the situation before I can leave safely." He glanced at Xiang Li carefully, "If you are not satisfied, then you should be angry for a while."

For the first time, Xiang Li felt that Chunyuya was really an idiot sometimes.

"I've been following your little emperor for a long time, and my brain is really useless." Xiang Li gritted his teeth and said, but finally hugged him into his arms.

"Up to five years, no delay."

Chun Yuya smiled slightly.
