A carriage was swaying towards Chang'an.

The driver is a big and thick man with a dark face and dull eyes. He doesn't look very smart. In this era, the nobles all value the position of the driver. Those who can drive for others are basically the ones who are the ones who are the ones who are the ones who are the ones who are the ones who are the ones who are the ones who are the ones who are the ones who are the ones who are the ones who are the ones who are the ones who are the ones who are the ones who are the ones who are the ones who are the ones who are the ones who are the ones who are the ones who are the ones who are the ones who are the ones who are the ones who are the ones who are the ones who are the ones who are the ones who are the ones who are the ones who are the ones who are the ones who are the ones who are the ones who are the ones who are the ones who are the ones who are the ones who are the ones who are the ones who are the ones who are the ones who are the ones who are the ones who are the ones who are the ones who are the ones who are the ones who are the ones who are the ones who are the ones who are the ones who are the ones who are the ones who are the ones who are the ones who are the ones who are the ones who are the ones who are the ones who are the ones who are the ones who are the ones who are the ones who are the ones who are the ones who are the ones who are the ones who are the ones who are the ones who are the ones who are the ones who are the ones who are the ones who are the ones who are the ones who are the ones who are the ones who are the ones who are the ones who are the ones who are the ones who are the ones who are the ones who are the ones who are the ones who are the ones who are the ones who are the ones who are the ones who are the ones

The carriage also looks a bit worn and has not been repaired for a long time. The owner of the carriage is a young man with a beard and shaking his body as the carriage shakes. Under this shaking, he can even close his eyes and rest.

Even the horses pulling the cart seem to be absent-minded.

When the group came to Chang'an City Gate, of course, the soldiers stopped them immediately.

The soldier looked at the four horses pulling the cart and scolded the groom to stop the cart without hesitation.

"Where did you come from? Do you know that using four horses is an act of presumption?!"

In the eyes of the soldiers, this group of people was obviously a small family who came out of a small place. They didn't know that the sky was high and the earth was strong, and they actually learned to ride a four-horse cart. This four-horse cart is exclusive to the king and prince, and not everyone can ride it.

The groom was stunned for a moment and turned to look at his master.

The young man hurriedly got out of the car, then flipped over his body, searched for a long time, and finally found the test and handed it to the soldier.

The soldier lowered his head and looked at it seriously.

"The squid...the squid...the squid?"

The voice of the soldier began to tremble. He raised his head again and looked at the young man in front of him in surprise. The young man also looked at him straight, his eyes full of "wisdom". Looking at such a wise young man, the soldier looked at the proof in his hand again. This proof was correct, but is the person in front of him really a harp?

The first Marquis of Che, the first Marquis of the Han Dynasty, the first Marquis of the King, not only has an outrageous fief, but the treatment in all aspects is not comparable to that of others.

To put it just one thing, the family of the Weihou has armor... This armor was given by Emperor Gao himself, so he asked him to keep it at home for collection. The Tingwei had no choice but to take it. He was as noble as the Wuyang Marquis, with nearly 60 retainers, and the Weihou had escorts, and there were five hundred armored soldiers, and there was also a commander who was responsible for commanding the commander. This is the difference.

"Can I go in? Your Majesty is still waiting for me."

Xiao Yan asked very seriously.

The soldier hurriedly saluted and said, "My lieutenant has heard of your name for a long time and has always wanted to see you. Please wait here for a moment. My lieutenant will welcome you into the city in person!"

Hearing the words of the soldier, Xiao Yan nodded and waited here.

The moment the city gate captain arrived, he saluted Xiao Yan, "Greetings to the Majesty of the Red Man!!!"

Xiao Yan was a little panicked and hurriedly replied, "I am just a chief minister in the Tang State, and an official who is only a few hundred stones will not dare to accept your worship."

The corner of the city gate captain twitched. When I saw this question, should it be determined by the official position? Or should it be determined by the title? The Han Dynasty actually had standards. The lower-level title was determined by the official position, and the higher-level title was determined by the title. Obviously, the lord of the lord cannot be classified as the lower-level title.

The city gate captain politely sent the man into the city, and his respectful look made the soldiers around him feel suspicious.

"General, you won't be like this when you see princes on weekdays. Why are you so polite to him?"

"I used to be the chief lieutenant and was responsible for protecting Xiao Xiang."

The city gate captain sighed, and he didn't know what he remembered, and his tone suddenly became a little sad, "After Xiao Xiang, no one will ask us about our well-being..."

"Ah? Xiao Xiang still cares about us soldiers?"

"Ha, who do you think you set your monthly holiday now?"

Xiao Yan did not return to his home. There were not many people in his mansion, but there were no relatives anymore. Chang'an was being expanded and many places became a little unfamiliar. Xiao Yan rushed all the way to the palace and got off the carriage. Xiao Yan raised his head and looked at the familiar place and couldn't help but grin.

The soldiers in the palace are still very obsessed. After learning about Xiao Yan's identity, they immediately went in to report, without doubting his identity. Who dares to pretend to be Xiao Xiang's son here!!

When Xiao Yan was taken to the palace by his close servants, he heard the king's laughter from afar.

"Daily!!!"

Xiao Yan looked blankly and saw the tall figure. Liu Chang opened his hands and walked towards him excitedly. The two met and hugged each other enthusiastically. After a long time of relaxation, Liu Chang smiled and pointed at the little guy beside him, "This is my son An... An, I have seen your Zhongfu!"

The little guy bowed to Xiao Yan very well, "Greetings to Zhongfu."

Xiao Yan was stunned for a moment before answering: "Please get up."

Liu An has followed Ah Father over the years and has seen many strange Zhong Fathers, all kinds of things. Therefore, he was not surprised at all when he saw this Zhong Father who was a little slow to react.

Xiao Yan saw that Liu An's clothes were a little dirty, muddy, and even his hands were a little dirty, which made him a little puzzled.

Perhaps because he noticed Xiao Yan's gaze, Liu Chang explained: "This guy is disobedient. I just took him to Changle Palace and asked his eldest mother to teach him a lesson! Just as he was teaching him a lesson, I heard that you are here. Alas, you have helped me a lot... Because of you, I was able to get rid of it... I was relieved!"

Liu Chang stared at Liu An again and cursed: "You go back to Houde Palace first! Your business is not over yet!! Your mother is still waiting for you!"

After saying that, he patted the dust on his body quietly, hugged Xiao Yan's neck and walked towards Xuanshi Hall.

The two entered the Xuanshi Hall and started chatting excitedly.

Liu Chang hadn't seen Xiao Yan for a long time, mainly because Xiao Yan served in the Tang Kingdom for a long time and did not return to Chang'an.

Xiao Yan told him about his situation, "I have a pain all over the days."

"I am in Tang State. Every time I enter the Prime Minister's Mansion, my Shangguan will salute me, and I have to get up and return the salute immediately... Every time he explains something, he has to salute him. The original Wang Xiang is fine, but now Zhang Xiang, every time he wants to tell me to do anything, he has to pay homage to him first..."

"Indeed, his title is not as high as yours..."

Originally, Xiao Yan was not Xiao He's heir, his brother Xiao Lu was.

After Xiao He's death, his brother inherited the position of Marquis of Qing. Empress Lu gave him a Marquis of Zhuyang because of Xiao Xiang's love, and arranged for him to work in Tang State with a gangster qualification, so she gave him an errand to handle it and live a good life.

Unfortunately, before the three years expired, the eldest son Xiao Lu died.

The title had to fall on Xiao He's wife Tongshi, which was not uncommon in the Han Dynasty. For example, the flaw in the seventh place in the founding heroes was a woman. Her son was Xi Juan, who was Liu Bang's first servant, probably equivalent to Liu Chang's Luan Bu. Xi Juan was brave and good at fighting. It is said that his achievements were not inferior to those of Wuyang Marquis. However, he died in the battlefield in the end and had no son.

Liu Bang missed this servant very much, posthumously named him the Marquis of Lu, and asked his mother to inherit the title. He ranks seventh in the ranking of founding heroes.

After Xiao Yan was older, the position of this lord fell on him. At that time, Xiao Yan served as the county magistrate in a county in the Tang State.

Then, the county magistrate suddenly discovered that the county magistrate under his command suddenly had a high crown of a marquis. I think this must have a huge impact on the county magistrate, and his legs were scared to death.

Every time he had to order anything, the county magistrate could only ask for help from the marquis and dare not give orders.

It is naturally not possible to continue like this. This position has insulted Xiao He, so Wang Ling asked him to do things for him. After all, Wang Ling is also a Marquis of Che. Although he is not as good as Xiao He, as Xiao He's old friend, there is no problem with Xiao Yan's fingers.

However, when Wang Ling retired and Zhang Xiangru came up, the situation became a little awkward.

Zhang Xiangru's title is not as high as this guy!!!

In the entire Tang Kingdom, except for the King of Tang, this guy has the highest title.

Xiao Yan's return was also a happy event for Qunxian.

The wise men immediately gathered in the Xuanshi Hall to celebrate the return of their friends.

Wuyang Hou limped into the hall, met Xiao Yan excitedly, and then sat aside with grin.

"You are??"

"Oh, I was injured in Hexi."

Xiahou Zao was supported by two people and walked into the hall. He met Xiao Yan excitedly, and then lay down aside.

"You were also injured in Hexi?"

“Uh…..right.”

Seeing his friends ending like this, Xiao Yan couldn't help but sigh, "This battle in Hexi is really extremely dangerous."

Immediately someone took the wine and meat, and everyone couldn't help but show off according to the current battle in Hexi.

Xiahouzhao grinned and said, "I have made great achievements this time. Although I am not Chehou, I have two thousand households in the fief!"

Fan Kang was very disdainful of this, and he said proudly: "Two thousand households are worthy of giving it a message? I have five thousand households, have I ever told me about it?"

"Aren't your fiefs all from Wuyang Marquis? I earned my fiefs myself!"

"He has a fief of four thousand, why didn't he hear him show off?"

The wise men started arguing, and Xiao Yan just looked at them with a smile, without any reaction.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Fan Kang asked curiously: "By the way, what is your fief?"

Xiao Yan frowned, as if calculating something, and asked, "What is your fief?"

"I'm five thousand..."

"We're almost the same."

"How much is that?"

"I'm 15,000..."

"Oh, let's talk about the issue of Bashu. I heard that Mai and A were going to be the county magistrates in Bashu. Is this true?"

Fan Kang subconsciously skipped the issue of fief, and the other wise men did not think there was anything wrong with this. It would be better not to talk about fief, as it would be better to talk about it. Talk about it can easily affect your relationship. Everyone reached an agreement and looked at Chen Mai and Guan A.

Chen Mai nodded, "We're going to set out in three days..."

Liu Chang ordered: "If you go to Shu this time, you have to bring Xiao Yan with you."

"ah?"

Chen Mai was a little surprised. He knew that the king brought Xiao Yan to Chang'an for a purpose, but why did he take him with him? Facing the confused eyes of everyone, Xiao Yan stood up with shame and said, "Your Majesty wants to consider me as the prime minister of Dian Kingdom... so he wants to go to Bashu."

At that moment, everyone felt sad.

Okay, we fought hard on the battlefield, but in the end we only had one or two thousand households with titles. This guy did nothing, and only 10,000 households would eat and drink... Chen Mai and Guan Ahneng were the most promising among the wise men. As a result, this guy was the prime minister... The prime minister, the reserve of the three ministers, and the replacement of the nine ministers!!

Is there any reason for this?

Fan Kang could only comfort himself and said, "I know that there are barbarians in the country, there are not many people, poor mountains and bad waters..."
