Xie Qing was ordered by Miracle Doctor Ji to lie on the couch for five days, and he was reluctantly allowed to go out until his complexion became a little rosy.The first thing Xie Qing did after going out was to inspect the river channel that was about to be rebuilt.Once Xin Wan was bitten by a snake, after Yu Changqing repeatedly assured that nothing would happen, she still changed her clothes worriedly and followed them out.

The river course is only a small modification, and it will be completed in about a day or two.Xie Qing felt very relieved, the embarrassment when making a decision was not worth mentioning.And facing Zhao Yanzhi's anger for the rest of his life after the catastrophe, Xie Qing felt a little sweet when he thought about it now.

In fact, he has already done disaster relief in the four counties of Pingyuan.Xie Qing stayed behind on the pretext of investigating the bag drop case.After his accident, Zhao Yanzhi immediately sent the right general Du Zhengze to Pingyuan, asking him to take Xie Qing back to Chang'an himself.

However, Xie Qing said that he was sick and couldn't even get out of the couch, so how could he return to Chang'an.

Du Zheng saw that Xie Qing's complexion was indeed pale, and his body was crooked on the couch, and he looked quite weak.But according to his understanding of Xie Qing, even if this person is too sick to get up, he will not be vague about what he should do; let alone he can still lean on the couch now.Therefore, Du Zhengze looked at Xie Qing suspiciously, but did not speak.

As if to confirm his words, Xie Qing suddenly coughed violently.Xin Wan rushed in immediately upon hearing the sound, and complained fiercely to Du Zhengze while giving Xie Qingshun a sigh of relief: "Look, is he on his way now?"

Zhao Yanzhi's close ministers, Xin Wan and Yi Jun had some contact with each other both in public and in private, and after more than ten years of dating, they all got to know each other very well.Du Zhengze was not annoyed when Xin Wan robbed him of a few words, he just touched his nose in embarrassment.He thought, after all, traveling long distances is nothing compared to other things, Xie Qing is famous for his frailty, if he gets sick on the way, he really can't explain it; presumably even if the Son of Heaven came personally, he would be reluctant to force him to leave and return to Beijing like this.

As a result, the next day, Xie Qing, who was "too sick to get up", took advantage of Du Zhengze's inattention, and took someone up the embankment.

Du Zheng was so angry that his seven orifices smoked.He gritted his teeth and thought, Xie Huaifang put aside the business, the ability to deceive friends is absolutely first-class.

General Du's ancestors were the founding military generals who fought with Gaozu in the world; his grandfather once followed the great Sima Gu Shenxing to conquer the Xiongnu four times. He was famous and made outstanding military exploits.Du Zhengze was born in a military family, and his temper is definitely not good.Therefore, when he found out that he had been swayed by Xie Qing, he ambushed a thousand of his own soldiers beside the posthouse in a fit of anger, and only waited for Xie Qing to come back, and he would come to catch the turtle.

Du Zhengze's idea is simple and rude: you don't want to recuperate, then I will let you recuperate.Anyway, my soldiers are well-trained, except for not letting you go out, they won't hinder you at all.

Therefore, when a scholar meets a soldier, there is no reason to explain it clearly. The ancients did not deceive me.

Xie Qing was happily admiring the fruits of his labor on the embankment at this time, completely unaware that he was about to face the tragic fate of being placed under house arrest as soon as he returned.

He walked on the embankment, turning his face to talk to Yu Changqing from time to time, with a very satisfied expression.Xie Qing calculated that the matter here would be over in at most three days, and he only needed to find some excuses to delay Du Zhengze for another three days.

When Xie Qing went back, the closer he got to the post, the more he felt that something was wrong.There seemed to be fewer people on the street than usual, and there was a chilling atmosphere around the post house.Although Xie Qing is not proficient in archery, martial arts, and poor in health, he has the keen intuition that is indispensable for a general.Sitting in the car, Xie Qing leaned slightly towards Xin Wan, and whispered to her, "Ah Wan, there seems to be an ambush ahead."

Du Zhengze got angry with Xin Wan early in the morning, and the two hit it off immediately on this matter.So Xin Wan didn't even lift her eyelids when she heard Xie Qing's words, "Young master sit down, and the servants are around. If something unusual happened, they would have sent a message back."

Xie Qing thought about it, Xin Wan couldn't be more concerned about her own safety; besides, there are Du Zhengze's soldiers and horses in the posthouse, who can make trouble under his nose?

After figuring this out, Xie Qing sat back with peace of mind.

Therefore, when Xie Qing was placed under house arrest by General Du a few moments later, he felt extremely sad and indignant.

Du Zhengze squeezed out a smile uglier than crying to Xie Qing, and said to him viciously: "Huaifang, son, Xie Changshi? Aren't you going to recuperate? Then take care of yourself in bed, don't run so far for a walk ; You have the strength to run out of Pingyuan County, why not go back to Chang'an with me."

Xie Qing put on a pleading expression, I really feel sorry for him.If Zhao Yanzhi or Xin Wan were here, they might agree to everything if they were soft-hearted.Unfortunately, he was facing Du Zhengze.Seeing Xie Qing's expression, General Du unfortunately only felt a chill in his heart.

"Huaifang, don't make such an expression." Du Zhengze said coldly, "Even if you cry on the spot, I won't let you run around."

When the plan failed, Xie Qing quickly changed his dignified face.He solemnly said to Du Zhengze: "Zhengze, you and I are friends, and I will not hide it from you. Look at the floods in the plains for years, and the people are innocent? There are displaced people, there are people who sell their children and daughters, and I have heard of the worst years. There are people who cannibalize each other. If I don’t know it, let it go; since I know it but don’t do anything, how can I feel at ease? How can the king’s heart be at ease? Furthermore, what happened here is clearly the fault of the Marquis of Chengyang. How will I treat the Zhou family? How will I treat the King of Guangling? If I don’t handle this matter well, I will be reprimanded in the end.”

These words were really righteous words, Du Zheng was speechless for a while.After a long time, he let out a long sigh.

So Zhao Yan only received the secret report that Du Zhengze accompanied Xie Qing to the Pingyuan embankment. Of course, they were already on their way back to Chang'an by then.

Xie Qing happily flooded the Zhou family's fertile land, feeling a little proud.He had fulfilled his wish, and he didn't make things difficult for Du Zhengze any more, so he returned to Chang'an with him immediately.

All the way without words.They didn't catch up with the heavy rain or the killer, but Xie Qing lost some weight due to the bumpy journey.

Zhao Yan had prepared a bunch of reprimands for Xie Qing, but when he saw the face that he had been dreaming about for more than a month, all his complaints turned into a gentle and outrageously "thin...".

Du Zhengze had another fit of chills, and he just found an excuse to go home after his death; Zhao Yanzhi had no intention of keeping him anyway.

Only Zhao Yanzhi and Xie Qing were left in the hall.Xie Qing just wanted to talk to him about Pingyuan, but Zhao Yan was just a hungry tiger and pushed him to the ground, without saying a word, he started to fight.

Xie Qing blushed immediately.

Zhao Yan only touched it happily, and came to the conclusion: "Huaifang, you are so thin that you only have a handful of bones left. I have to take good care of you." After speaking, he turned over and sat up.

Seeing Xie Qing's embarrassed face and stiff body, he laughed silently.Zhao Yan only stretched out his hand to grab Xie Qing, and whispered in his ear: "Huaifang, what are you thinking? En?"

Good things should be saved for last, Zhao Yan thought happily.Xie Qing didn't return to Chang'an for two months, he had to let people go to see the children first because of his feelings and reason.

Empress Xie raised her four children very well.As soon as Xie Qing appeared in the Jiaofang Palace, Princess Huaiqing, who was carved in pink and jade, staggered over on her short legs, shouting excitedly: "Uncle!"

Xie Qing was surprised that Huai Qing still kissed herself like this after not seeing Huai Qing for two months.He immediately leaned over and hugged Huai Qing with a smile on his face, coaxing her softly: "Hui Qing is beautiful again."

Huai Qing put her arms around Xie Qing's neck, her eyes were bent into the same arc as Xie Qing's pair of phoenix eyes.She said to Xie Qing seriously: "Uncle is pretty too!"

Zhao Yan didn't hold back, and laughed out loud.

Xie Qing held Huaiqing in his arms, and walked into the hall side by side with Zhao Yanzhi.Zhao Yan only gently stretched out his right arm in a place where he could not see, and placed it three inches behind him, forming a protective posture.

Xie Qing's two children have just been able to walk.They haven't seen their father for nearly two months, and the two children are somewhat unfamiliar to Xie Qing.When Xie Qing stretched out his hand to hug Chengming and Hou'er, the two of them rushed towards Zhao Yanzhi.

Zhao Yan only smiled smugly again.He looked at Xie Qing's dejected face, and comforted him in a rather joyful mood: "It's okay. Children, admit it."

But Huaiqing didn't recognize life at all.She curled her lips in disdain for her younger siblings, as if accusing them of treating others closer than her own Ah Weng, completely ignoring that she had been hugging Xie Qing's neck and never let go since he entered the door. It doesn't even mean to say hello to Zhao Yan.

After thanking him, he joked, "Huiqing is on good terms with the elder brother. These children seem to be closer to others."

As if to confirm her words, Ah Sui, who had been neglected all this time, waddled over and grabbed Xie Qing by the corner of his clothes.

Ah Sui is now raised by the Empress Xie in vain and fat, and it is not at all obvious that she was born two months prematurely.Ah Sui, who is a little over one year old, is struggling to learn to speak. He is very anxious to see that his brothers and sisters can talk freely.But with very little experience, he doesn't understand the principle of haste makes waste, no matter how anxious he is, he can only say a few simple words, and except for "Aweng" and "Amu", the pronunciation is very outrageous .

Zhao Sui felt that he liked this "newcomer" very handsome man who was called "uncle" by his elder sister.The whole family had a happy meal, and Ah Sui stuck to the elder sister's side.He looked at his elder sister who was indifferent to him, only concentrating on tossing about with that beautiful uncle, but still chattering endlessly, and wanted to communicate with him in his heart.

So Zhao Sui had an idea and threw the soup bowl on Xie Qing.
