When Mr. Xi said this, Xi Rui's eyes widened in disbelief.
Even Xi Xinheng was stunned, "Dad, are you kidding me?"
If his spoiled and pampered son went to the northern border, he would probably cry and want to come back within three days.
Mr. Xi nodded seriously, "Of course I'm not joking."
"Rui'er is still not in tune with the times at this age. It would be a good idea to send him to the northern border to gain some experience."
"Just arrange for him to follow Xiao Hanzheng."
Others saw Northern Xinjiang as a den of wolves and tigers, but Mr. Xi saw it as an opportunity.
When is the best time to make achievements? Of course, during turmoil.
In times of peace and prosperity, there won't be that many achievements to be awarded to you.
Although Xi Rui's grandson is a playboy, he is not hopeless.
He is smart and knows how to adapt, but he is just spoiled too much.
I believe I will have grown a lot after training in northern Xinjiang for a period of time.
Old Master Xi thought that he was good at judging people. He believed that Xiao Hanzheng was definitely not an ordinary person, not to mention that he had a virtuous wife like Shi Qingluo by his side.
If my grandson follows him now, he will definitely be able to follow him in the future.
The Duke's Mansion will be passed to Xi Rui's brother in the future. When they are gone, Xi Rui will have to depend on his eldest brother's mood for his food.
The eldest grandson is a good guy, but his grandson's wife is a little narrow-minded.
As for Xi Rui's favorite grandson, the old man still hopes to arrange a path for him.
Even if I leave the Duke's Mansion in the future, I will be able to have food and clothing without worries.
Xi Rui cried, "Grandpa, are you still my real grandpa?"
How could he bear to be thrown into such a bitter and cold place as the Northern Frontier?
Mr. Xi smiled and said, "No, you picked it up from outside."
Xi Rui: “…” I believed your ghost.
Mr. Xi made the decision, "It's settled. You should make good preparations."
Xi Xinheng actually couldn't bear to let his youngest son suffer, even though he disliked his son all day long and often wanted to break his son's legs.
But among his three sons, he actually likes the youngest one the most.
Besides, the youngest son is the one closest to him; the other two sons are too rigid.
He originally wanted to plead for his son again, but when he saw his father's face, he knew there was no hope.
Once the old man makes a decision, there is no way to change it.
He could only reach out and pat Xi Rui on the shoulder, "Son, didn't you want to go out to play just now? Go quickly, or you won't have a chance later."
Xi Rui: “…” He really picked it up.
He turned around and ran out of the yard, "Humph, I'm going to find my grandmother and mother!"
Although I really want to play with Xiao Hanzheng and Shi Qingluo.
But he was really scared of the Northern Xinjiang. He heard that the people there were so poor that they often starved to death. There was nothing fun to do there, and the people didn't have enough food or clothes to eat. He couldn't stand that hardship!
Seeing Xi Rui running to the old lady to complain, Grandpa Xi made up his mind to send him away.
A kind grandmother and a kind mother often spoil their children. This boy was spoiled by the old lady and her daughter-in-law.
"Don't be afraid of Northern Frontier. Let Rui'er go to Northern Frontier. Although there will be certain risks, there are more opportunities and benefits."
"Maybe I can change his temperament and make him a key figure in the court."
Xi Xinheng: “…” Come on, if this playboy son of his can become a talented person, he can become a duke without the need for hereditary succession.
But what my father said does make sense. "Okay, I'll report his name tomorrow."
I believe the emperor will not object.
In the backyard, the old lady and the prince's wife heard that the old man was going to send his precious grandson/son to the northern border, and they were both heartbroken.
The old lady even went directly to the old man's yard.
But when he came out, he changed his mind.
Seeing that the old lady had no way out, the Crown Prince’s wife had no choice but to wipe her tears.
Her precious son had never suffered so much. The old man and her husband were so cruel.
Since I can't change the outcome, I can only go with the old lady to help Xi Rui prepare food and daily necessities for his trip to Northern Xinjiang.
Xi Rui: “…” He was indeed picked up, and he wanted to cry to death on the spot.
After the other people in the mansion learned about this, except for a few who were worried, most of them gloated over it.
This guy hit the horse's leg with his flattery this time, the old man is mighty! They didn't want Xi Rui to get into trouble in Northern Xinjiang. After all, with the protection of the Duke's Mansion, Xi Rui's life should not be in danger.
But suffering is inevitable.
Accustomed to seeing Xi Rui showing off, they had long hoped that this guy would fail.
There are always some conflicts among people in a large family.
They didn't want Xi Rui to be unlucky or die, but they were still happy to see him suffer.
The same situation also occurred in the Liang family and the Qi family.
Mr. Liang was naturally a smart man, and had similar ideas to Mr. Xi, so he asked his son to report Liang Youxiao's name.
Liang Youxiao was lying on the bed with a look of despair.
After returning home, Mr. Qi thought about it for a long time before deciding to let his grandson go to Northern Xinjiang as well.
He felt that the emperor's move had a profound meaning, and that his grandson would never be able to make a name for himself if he just muddled through in the Hanlin Academy.
The Duke's Mansion has limited resources, and it will not be easy to achieve merit even if you are transferred to a good place in the future.
It would be better to go to the Northern Frontier and give it a try. Now my grandson has a good relationship with Xiao Hanzheng and his wife, so I will have someone to take care of me if I go there.
As long as we can recover the Northern Frontier and destroy King Jin, we can gain some credit in the Northern Frontier.
You can't catch the wolf without sacrificing your child. Let's fight.
So Duke Qi called Qi Yiyang to his study to have a good talk.
Qi Yiyang is not a playboy, but an ambitious man at heart, so after listening to his grandfather's words, he changed from being unwilling to do it willingly.
Old man Fei of the Fei family wanted to let his grandson go, but unfortunately he had already arranged an official position for his grandson half a month ago.
There is no way to change it now, it's just a pity that I missed it.
Xiao Hanzheng naturally also received the news.
When he was still in the Hanlin Academy, he received many sympathetic looks from his colleagues.
He and Zhuo Jun did not show any emotion, but the runner-up collapsed on the spot when he heard the news.
I guess he cursed the officials who suggested letting the three of them go for eighteen generations.
Xiao Hanzheng felt that this man was a bit unlucky, and being sent to Northern Frontier was purely a byproduct.
After returning home, Xiao Hanzheng told Shi Qingluo what happened in the court.
"Your Majesty, it looks like you will be able to catch quite a few problematic people this time."
He was actually a little surprised that Prince Jin had buried so many people in the court.
The key is that this is only a part of it, and no one knows how much more is hidden.
These are only Prince Jin's people. He doesn't believe that there are no people from the previous dynasty in the court.
Of course, some people may have dual identities.
But the entire court was in a state of panic, and the emperor must have been very angry.
A batch of them had been cleaned up in the previous life, but obviously there were still many that had not been cleaned up.
I don’t know whether the emperor kept them on purpose or he didn’t know there was something wrong with these people.
Shi Qingluo asked, "Why are there so many people belonging to King Jin? Were they left to him by the late emperor?"
She felt that the emperor was a bit miserable for having a father like the late emperor.
