Chapter 34 Three-year Agreement

Before Xu Deyan could come up with any way to leave the capital, early the next morning, the prince sent Yang Shi to their courtyard to summon the couple and said that they had something to do. Xu Deyan and Princess Lechang quickly sorted out and followed Yang Shi to the inner courtyard.

Although Xu Deyan was named Neishishe, Yang Yongnian and his wife had just been reunited and were given ten days of vacation. Now, just after half of the holiday, the prince summoned him and summoned him with his wife. It was a bit strange. Along the way, Xu Deyan couldn't help but ask: "My Lord Yang, I wonder what happened to your Highness and his wife?"

Yang Shi smiled slightly: "Don't worry, Lord Xu, your highness is in a good mood, there must be something good."

Seeing that he couldn't find anything, Xu Deyan had to follow Yang Shi silently. Although he was a subordinate of the Eastern Palace, he was just a new arrival and could not help but be restrained. Princess Lechang had been in the Eastern Palace for seven years and had few people dating. Now she was with her husband, and she was unwilling to speak more. She knew that Yang Shi was the prince's confidant, and she felt much more at ease when she heard Yang Shi's words.

Yang Shi took Xu Deyan and his wife directly to the main hall. The main hall was empty and there was no one. Xu Deyan was wondering that Yang Yong had already walked out from behind.

"I am going to see the prince!" Xu Deyan and Princess Lechang hurriedly saluted.

"Get up."

"Yes, thank you for the prince!" Xu Deyan and his wife quickly stood up and stood aside. Until Yang Yong signaled them to sit down, they each found a stool and sat down obliquely.

The two maids came up and added tea to them. Yang Yong first asked them calmly whether there were any difficulties in their lives. Of course Xu Deyan would not say anything. After a harmonious conversation, Yang Yong asked: "I heard that you and Mrs. Xuan Hua have been having a good relationship since childhood?"

Both of them learned from Yang Yong a few days ago that Mrs. Xuanhua was the former Princess Leyi Chen Wan. Although they were worried about Chen Wan, the couple had just met again after a long separation. In addition, there were people visiting each other every day, so they didn't care about visiting each other. When they heard the prince mentioned it, they couldn't help but look at each other, and Princess Lechang replied: "Crown Prince, this is true. Mrs. Xuanhua is the youngest sister of my family. She has been intimate with me since she was a child. After I got married, my sister often went to my house to play."

"It's really good." Yang Yong nodded secretly when he heard this.

"That's true, then do you want to meet Mrs. Xuanhua?"

Princess Lechang was stunned when she heard this, and her face was filled with a slight romance. When her sisters met, she actually asked the prince to remind her. She nodded quickly: "Go back to the prince, of course I am willing."

"Okay, you guys are ready. I will send someone to escort you and his wife to Renshou Palace." Yang Yong said relaxedly.

Seeing that the prince attached so much importance to it, Xu Deyan and Princess Lechang felt a little more moved: "Thank you, Prince!"

"Okay, you guys go down."

"yes."

In fact, when Xu Deyan and his wife went to Renshou Palace, Yang Yong also intended to let them avoid the limelight. As the story spread, more and more officials came to the East Palace to visit the two. Although Xu Deyan and his wife were very annoyed, Yang Yong also had a headache. Many officials visited Xu Deyan and his wife because they were not drunk. Most of them wanted to establish a relationship with the East Palace and rely on them as their backers.

If it is a talented official, Yang Yong doesn't care about giving it to you at the right time, but most of them are talentless people. Such officials can only add icing on the cake and cannot be used as a trustworthy person. Yang Yong is naturally too lazy to answer.

Yang Yue received the order from Mrs. Xuanhua, but did not send anyone to the East Palace to contact him immediately. According to his wishes, he would have to delay for several days, so that it would be difficult to do things. Only then did he show that he was loyal to Mrs. Xuanhua. He could mutter a few more words in Mrs. Xuanhua's ear that the East Palace deliberately troubled the people he sent. He tried his best to get the East Palace to agree.

But this thought was in vain. The next day, he received a report. Princess Lechang and her husband asked for a meeting. Yang Yue was very upset and had to bring Princess Lechang and Xu Deyan into the palace. However, he was very glad that he reported Princess Lechang in time yesterday, otherwise he would lose an opportunity to get closer to Mrs. Xuan Hua.

Not to mention the scene of Princess Lechang's sisters meeting, a few days later, Princess Lechang stayed in Renshou Palace, and only Xu Deyan came back alone to report to Yang Yong.

"What, do you want to go to the border?" Yang Yong was very surprised by Xu Deyan's proposal. Unexpectedly, Xu Deyan went to Renshou Palace and asked him to go to the border when he came back.

"Yes, I am grateful to the prince, but I have no repayment. I heard that the Goguryeo people in the border have been ready to move in recent years. It is the place where I am using my skills. Although I am unable to tie a chicken, it is no problem to copy and write. The border documents and the plan are in ruins and people need to fill it. If I can go to the border with a little effort, it can be considered as repaying the prince's great kindness." Xu Deyan said calmly.

The Great Sui army was full of elite soldiers, but there were few scholars, and many generals were still unaware of it. Because of this, after the Great Sui Dynasty unified the world, it vigorously promoted education and established official schools in various counties, making considerable progress. However, the time was too short and there were too few people who had completed their studies. Moreover, the border was difficult. Even if there were people who had completed their studies every year and there were not enough officials, who would be willing to go to the border? Unless they were exiled, no scholar would be willing to take the initiative to propose to go to the border.

Xu Deyan was quick-witted. When he arrived at the border, he did not just do some copying and writing. However, Yang Yong couldn't see Xu Deyan's intentions clearly, and he couldn't agree rashly for a while.

In fact, Xu Deyi proposed to go to the border as a result of the couple's discussion. After Princess Lechang and Mrs. Xuan Hua met, Mrs. Xuan Hua was very surprised. The two sisters seemed to have endless words, so they naturally would not let Princess Lechang go back easily. Xu Deyan was a man, and he could not stay for a long time even if he was outside Renshou Palace. Xu Deyan did not want to disturb his wife's separation and sister's relationship, so he could only return to Beijing alone. But he was really afraid of endless social engagements after returning to Beijing, so he discussed with his wife, so he simply left Beijing for a while.

Princess Lechang remembered her husband's daily drunkenness and nodded in agreement, but the couple had to repay the prince's great kindness but had to repay him. If they just left like this, the prince agreed, the couple would feel guilty and uneasy. Xu Deyan proposed to go to the border for three years. After three years, after repaying the prince's great kindness, he resigned from the prince when he returned to the capital. From then on, the couple returned to the countryside and met Mrs. Xuanhua when they had time, which was better than life in the capital like now.

Although Princess Lechang couldn't bear to let her husband suffer in the border, she just remembered that the two could live a free life as they pleased in three years, Princess Lechang still nodded in agreement.

"Xu Aiqing, the border is not only difficult, but also has to face the enemy at any time. Although you are a civil servant, you don't have to go to the battlefield. However, the military situation has changed a lot. When you arrive at the border, no one knows whether the civil servant will encounter the enemy. At that time, the sword will be blind and may still give your life. Are you sure you want to go to the border?"

"When you go back to your highness, I have also heard about some things in the border. The Central Plains are vast and diverse, and the north and south are very different. I was born and raised in the south. I have long thought of going to the north to see it. It would be a waste of life. But I didn't have the chance to be in the south before. Now I can meet my previous wishes when I go to the border, and I can do some small things for Your Highness, killing two birds with one stone. I hope Your Highness will fulfill it?"

"This... I forgot that Xu Aiqing is a poet. It is better to travel thousands of miles than reading thousands of books. It is consistent. However, it is not that I am unwilling to agree to you, but you couple have just met again after a long separation. If I send you to the border, I am afraid that many people will scold me for being unkind."

"Your Highness, this is still what I want. If you don't have your highness fulfillment, let alone three years, even in ten years, I might not be able to find Zhujing. Your Highness has great kindness and I have no way to repay you, so I voluntarily go to the border to serve the court for three years. If you return in three years, I hope your Highness will agree to the resignation of the office." Seeing that the prince disagreed, Xu Deyan finally expressed his intention.

"So that's it. Are you going to resign?" Yang Yong paused and sighed in his heart. It seemed that his intention to tie Xu Deyan and Princess Lechang to the East Palace was dashed.

"Yes, the light of Wei Mo is valued by Your Highness. You should have worked diligently until you die. However, Wei Mo's talent is limited and it is difficult to help Your Highness. Moreover, Wei Mo's uncle has no ambitions and only wants to live a free life with his wife. I hope Your Highness will forgive you."

Yang Yong gently knocked on the table with his heart, analyzing the gains and losses in his heart. Xu Deyan had already thought of leaving. If he forced himself to stay in the East Palace, he would inevitably feel resentment in his heart, which would not be beautiful. If Xu Deyan was allowed to the border, there would be one more talent in the border. Moreover, Xu Deyan was still under the control of the East Palace. Three years later, who would know what would happen?

"If you go to the border, what will your wife do?"

Seeing that the prince's mouth was loose, Xu Deyan was immediately overjoyed: "When I go back to the prince, I know that there is no reason to bring my family. My wife will stay in the capital to accompany Mrs. Xuanhua."

"Okay, if you want to go to the border, I will give you two choices. One is to go to the captain of the Dongyi school captain General Luo Yiluo, and the other is to go to the Long Live Historian of the Shangzhu Kingdom. These two people, one is facing the Goguryeo in Liaodong and the other is facing the Tubo in Yizhou. Whether it is Liaodong or Yizhou, they are the real frontlines. Where are you willing to go?"

Xu Deyan knew that both Luo Yi and Shi Wansui were the prince’s confidant generals. He thought for a while and said, “Go back to Your Highness, I am willing to go to Liaodong.”

Now the Tubo people are not as strong as the Goguryeo people, and although Yizhou is not as prosperous as the Central Plains, it has been a long time since it was returned to China and is much better than Liaodong. Seeing that Xu Deyan is willing to go to Liaodong to suffer, Yang Yong nodded: "Okay, I agree. In a few days, I will issue a document to the Ministry of Personnel. If there is a formal appointment, you can set off."
