163. Skill assessment

(Serious face)~~^^ Thank you for your support, the two genuine letters took him about an hour to finish. Chen Shan sent it to his master that night, and attached a lot of his recent observations on the second son, and also said a lot of good things.

Time passed by. Chen Xiuwen lived in Yishanlou for a few days. During this period, he was officially enthroned by the emperor. Many well-informed children of aristocratic families even won the favor of the emperor for him. They were even more popular with the emperor and were able to take the title of walking in front of the emperor. They secretly felt envy and jealousy.

On that day, when Chen Xiuwen rode on his horse and was about to follow the army slowly back to Beijing, he was unexpectedly called to see the Holy Driving. He then walked forward calmly with the reins.

Many young men from aristocratic families were riding horses behind the emperor's convoy, full of energy and were joking. When they saw Chen Xiuwen walking slowly, they seemed to have learned how to ride a horse, many of them looked a little unfriendly. Just Chen Xiuwen's riding skills were really not up to the standards of an excellent child in their upper class.

But Chen Xiuwen, who had a bad reputation in the past and easily turned over with just one exam, not only won the position of baron, but also heard that he was walking in front of the emperor! It was really unconvinced!

"Chen Er, are you dodging your waist? You ride so slowly!" Luo Peng said sarcastically.

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a burst of laughter around him, and even Xie Yanqing couldn't help but smile.

But Yang Heming asked, "Xiu Wen, are you okay?" He really thought Chen Xiu Wen had a difficult secret...

Chen Xiuwen's eyes flew over them one by one, and he smiled at Yang Heming and said, "Thank you for your concern, Brother Yang, I'm fine, I'm just afraid of disturbing the people in the convoy, so I rode a little slower."

Although it was his first time to ride a horse and he planned to be familiar with the riding skills of the original body, he had a good foundation in this regard. He had a high understanding and had mastered it shortly after he set out. He rode slowly and was really worried that he would disturb others.

Everyone goes out before dawn, so it’s possible that someone is taking a nap in the car. Think about it, when you are sleeping soundly, a car suddenly drives by with a high horsepower. If you are a little more angry, maybe you will be going to smash things.

Chen Xiuwen's considerate thoughts were really ridiculous for these aristocratic families. But he didn't care. He just said something simple to Yang Heming, who cared about him.

"In this way, I'm relieved. What are you doing?" Yang Heming asked again.

Before Chen Xiuwen could answer, Luo Peng said sarcastically: "I am walking in front of the emperor. Brother Yang, you have another question."

His words attracted a low laugh. At this moment, Li Shu said for good reason: "Luo Peng, you speak normally. You are jealous. Why should you always stab Xiu Wen? If you have the ability, you will also make the emperor favor you!"

Yang Heming responded and said, "Young Master Li is right, it's better for Mr. Luo to say less."

Luo Peng narrowed his eyes and glared at the two of them viciously, but did not say anything more. The second prince assigned him a task yesterday to ask him to get close to and recruit young talents in the aristocratic family. If his performance was too sour, it would be detrimental to his own image.

Chen Xiuwen cried and thanked each other with fists. He was about to say goodbye and continued to walk forward slowly when he saw a guard beside the emperor on a horse. He saw a natural and gentle smile on his face and said, "Young Master Chen told me to find it easy. Let's go quickly, the emperor is waiting for you."

Chen Xiuwen responded and met Li Yang and left quickly with the guards. The children of the aristocratic families looked at Chen Xiuwen who was suddenly in agile shape from afar. They were silent for a while, and later they resumed joking. But thinking about Chen Xiuwen who was summoned by the emperor, most of them were a little excited, and then they dispersed and returned to their respective convoys.

Chen Xiuwen arrived in front of the emperor's frame and saluted: "Xiuwen is late, the emperor forgives his crime."

The emperor's gentle voice came from the car: "It's okay, come up."

Chen Xiuwen dismounted his horse and handed it to the eunuch. He supported his palm on the frame and then jumped onto the imperial carriage lightly.

The emperor was reading the memorial and pointed casually, "Don't give me a gift, sit down."

Chen Xiuwen sat respectfully on his right hand, waiting for the emperor to finish reading the memorial at hand.

It was the first time he saw the inside of the emperor's carriage. He was a little curious. He glanced around casually, then stopped looking at it, and waited patiently for the emperor to speak out.

He thought it would take about ten minutes before the emperor put down what he was doing.

The emperor smiled and said, "Do you know why I called you?"

Chen Xiuwen thought for a moment of confusion, shook his head and said, "Go back to the emperor, forgive me for being stupid, I don't know the reason."

The emperor looked at him and said, "I have received your father's letter. Have you also received his letter from home?" For his confidant minister, what the emperor knew was beyond imagination.

Chen Xiuwen nodded.

The emperor smiled and said, "Your father has always felt guilty about you. This time he asked me to ask you to come to him and ask your brother and sister-in-law to return to the capital. What do you think about this?"

Chen Xiuwen was stunned. What could he think? The original father planned to change his hostage to the emperor? If he were the original, he would be very happy. This can be said to be his wish since childhood.

"What, don't you have any idea?" the emperor asked again.

Chen Xiuwen was in a complicated mood and shook his head and said honestly: "I didn't think about it for a while when I went to my father. Going to my side is what I have always been yearning for, but now I have the opportunity to enter the Imperial College and complete my studies there, which is also a goal I really want to achieve."

There was a smile on the corner of the emperor's mouth, and he raised his hand and pointed at him, "You are honest. OK, go back and think about it carefully, don't want it all big and small. After turning around, I'll tell me."

"Yes, Your Majesty. Thank you."

Chen Xiuwen got off the emperor's carriage and thoughtfully. Judging from the emperor's words, it seemed that he would choose the two choices. No matter which one, he would approve it?

But his intuition told him that the emperor would not give him such freedom.

He actually has no choice.

According to ancient ethics, the monarch and ministers, father and son, the monarch are great, and the father is great. However, the monarch and father, loyalty and filial piety have a certain room for choice. If you are a filial son and listen to your father wholeheartedly, so that you have no time and cannot be loyal, then few people will say you are wrong.

However, for the emperor, he definitely hopes to get loyalty from his subordinates, and it is best to just listen to him. Although most of them will profess themselves to govern the world with filial piety, it is all for the purpose of following the way of loyalty.

Chen Xiuwen felt that if he hadn't thought too much, the emperor's implication was to ask him to choose to stay wisely.

From the time when Chen Xiuwen was appreciated by the emperor, he was no longer just a simple son of a minister, but a minister who might be used for the emperor in the future, and an almost clear future son-in-law.

The emperor arranged for him to go to the palace to walk, but when he heard that he could leave the capital, he left these things and left. Even if the emperor had no objection to this, he would not feel comfortable. Because if the emperor really didn't mind this matter, he wouldn't use it to ask him, just consider the idea of ​​his father Shen Maotong.

Inquiry is a hint.

He Chen Xiuwen can choose to leave, but then don’t regret losing my attention. I will remember that in his heart, his father’s will is the first priority.

Chen Xiuwen inexplicably made up for such words.

Personally, he himself tends to stay in the capital. After all, he is the original father, and he cannot psychologically eliminate that kind of barrier. He can respect him as his father, but he really can't treat him like his real father.

He was thinking here, taking the reins of his horse from the eunuch, then jumping up and walking back in the stirrup.

"Young Master Chen stays for a walk, the eldest princess is invited." After walking a few steps, Gao Huan stopped him.

Chen Xiuwen looked at the other party carefully, but from his quiet eyes, he felt that he was indeed not like an ordinary eunuch.
