After the crown ceremony, it means that Xia Hongsheng is already an adult. For other families, it means that the age when they can just think about reading and playing around without thinking about other things has passed. Since then, I have truly become a member of the family that needs to participate in the affairs of the family, and assume family and social responsibilities and obligations. As for Xia Hongsheng, there is no difference - no one has really regarded him as a teenager for a long time, in the consciousness of everyone, because of what Xia Hongsheng thinks and does, he has already ignored Xia Hongsheng's age, and treats Xia Hongsheng as an adult.

Xia Hongsheng was an official of the imperial court, and he should have visited the emperor after the crown ceremony. On the second day after the crown ceremony, Xia Hongsheng entered the palace to meet Li Shimin.

"Qing has made immortal contributions to Datang at a young age, I think about it carefully, Datang can have today, and Qing Ju has made great contributions." Li Shimin said to Xia Hongsheng with a smile: "From the method of making salt, horseshoe, swords, to the later military machine workshop, military academy...... Datang, from the people to the court, all aspects of the improvement and innovation, are actually promoted by the Qing. What's even more rare is that Xia Qing has a sincere heart, in the Tang Dynasty, in the court, in the people, and in me, they are all loyal, humble and courteous, without any dissent, everything is considered for the people, for the Tang Dynasty, I am clear in my heart, and I am very moved! Now, Xia Qing has become an adult and has finally become a pillar of the Tang Dynasty, and I am very relieved. ”

"Your Majesty's words made Weichen feel guilty." Xia Hongsheng bowed and saluted and said: "I think that among the three kingdoms, if there is no Liu Bei Sangu thatched house, relying on the trust, trusting, and flowing from it, Zhuge Kongming will not be a farmer in Nanyang after all." His Majesty's trust in Wechen is not based on Wechen's youth, which is enough to be compared with the sages of the Tiance Mansion in the past, how can Wechen live up to this trust? There is Bole in the world, and then there are Maxima, and Maxima often has, but Bole does not often have. If a soldier dies as a confidant, His Majesty will treat me as a national soldier, and I should repay him as a national soldier. ”

Oops, this is comparing himself to Zhuge Liang, I feel a little shameless. After Xia Hongsheng finished speaking, he thought in his heart.

Xia Hongsheng's words made Li Shimin very happy to hear it, and even said with a smile: "Hahahaha, 'There is Bole in the world, and then there are thousands of horses, and thousands of horses often exist, but Bole does not often have'...... What Xia Qing said, in one sentence! Haha, I can find Xia Qing's thousand-mile horse, which is enough to comfort my life! ”

What do you say...... This is the meaning of "I found you, and the Sprinkle family is worth this life"! Xia Hongsheng hurriedly saluted humbly.

Li Shimin naturally encouraged each other again, in short, the two said good things to each other and wore high hats. Li Shimin used this to express his importance to Xia Hongsheng, so that Xia Hongsheng could be more loyal to him, and Xia Hongsheng used this to show his humility and obedience, so that Li Shimin did not feel that he was difficult to control, so he became more suspicious.

"Xia Qing's crown ceremony, although I have not been here in person, I have also prepared a generous gift. Coupled with Xia Qing's merits, because of Xia Qing's youth, I have not been rewarded several times. Now that Xia Qing has reached adulthood, I should give it together. Li Shimin said to Xia Hongsheng: "Tomorrow morning, Xia Qing will know." ”

Xia Hongsheng was stunned for a moment, and announced in the morning court, so official, is this going to be promoted again or is he going to be a knight again? I'll go, this son is already a fourth-grade rank, is it possible that the son-in-law wants to become a third-grade master? If you enter the knighthood, it will be even more of a bunker! The ninth rank of the Tang Dynasty Fanjue, this son is now the sixth-class founding county marquis, if he goes up further, then he is the founding county prince! Oops, is it that Hou Ye is going to become a grandfather in the future?! Hang and bomb God! It's a little exciting to think about!

Although he was puzzled in his heart, Xia Hongsheng still excused himself, and Li Shimin just smiled and said nothing, only telling Xia Hongsheng not to be greedy and miss the early dynasty.

Exiting the palace, Xia Hongsheng's mood was actually quite beautiful. Thinking that tomorrow morning the court will be added to the official and become a knight, and in the future, he will also be among the purple-robed bigwigs above the court, and when others see him, he will have to change his title from the marquis to the grandfather, which is simply not too good.

Xia Hongsheng hummed a little song all the way, and even looked at the scenery inside Chang'an City that was more charming than usual.

Qi Yong drove the carriage and followed behind Xia Hongsheng, the carriage was full of gifts, and there were stacks of ready-made ones. In addition to the emperor, after the crown ceremony, he also had to visit the elders, Xia Hongsheng simply put all the elders who had a good relationship, after all, it is not strange to have many people, especially in this era when connections are extremely important, it is good to visit some people more. This is the thick black science that I learned during the years I worked in the agency. Xia Hongsheng's popularity was not obtained for no reason. It is not without reason that those bigwigs in the court can take care of Xia Hongsheng. By virtue of the relationship with their children and nephews who are classmates, they often go to the house, and even visit the elders in the family, and remember more.

For a whole morning, Xia Hongsheng spent the visit, this family came out to that house, and everyone who was higher than Xia Hongsheng's promotion level, except for some people who almost didn't come and go on weekdays, were all visited by Xia Hongsheng.

It's not that Xia Hongsheng pretends to be a grandson, it's just that there are many friends and multiple roads, Xia Hongsheng is alone in this Tang Dynasty, compared to other bigwigs who are like giant spiders entrenched in a huge network of relationships, he is still too weak, if he doesn't do this, if there is something in the court, then there is no one to help.

It is better to ask God than to ask for others, and it is better to ask for others than to ask for yourself, and if you can't ask for yourself, you still have to ask for others.

Since arriving in Chang'an, Xia Hongsheng has been weaving his own net, affection, and interests...... These are all tools for Xia Hongsheng to weave nets, and so far, they can be regarded as effective.

And doing these things that were originally despised by Xia Hongsheng in later generations are all in order to make the isolated self stand more stable, longer, and better in this Datang.

"Brother Xia, what are you thinking?" The last stop is Xu Xiaode's house, where I am going to have lunch, take a rest, and then go home. Just as he was thinking about it, he heard Xu Hui's voice.

Xia Hongsheng turned his head to look at Xu Hui, and the original trace of unhappiness in his heart because he had to be thick and dark suddenly relieved: If you don't do this, how can you be lucky to meet her? Even if you meet it, I'm afraid that after all, I will be ashamed of myself, and it is out of reach.

Suddenly, I feel that if there is a person, as long as you see her smiling at you, you feel that what she has experienced and endured is all worth it, then this is love.

"Brother Xia! ......" Seeing that Xia Hongsheng didn't say anything for a long time, just staring at himself and laughing, Xu Hui lowered his head and called out again in shame.

"Oh, just remembered a word." Xia Hongsheng laughed, and thought in his heart: The grass is bearing its seeds, the wind is shaking its leaves, we smile at each other like this, and it is very beautiful without talking. (To be continued.) )
