Unparalleled Concubine

Jing'an Hou Ye looked calm, put his hands in his sleeves, and said lightly: "I taught Your Majesty a long time ago that small tricks can't make big things. Once the sky thunder is formed, it can't be disassembled, otherwise it will be destroyed." Out of order."

As he said that, Li Xin pointed to the pottery pot on the ground with only half of the medicine powder left, and smiled: "Your Majesty might as well give it a try."

The smile on the emperor's face suddenly disappeared. He personally took the torch from the eunuch at the side, took the clay pot to the center of the school grounds, lit the fire paper on the seal of the pot, stepped back, and held tightly Stare at the clay pot in the center of the school yard.

The fire paper burned out quickly, and the clay pot that the flames got into was sharp, but the clay pot only made a muffled sound and a puff of white smoke came out, and then there was no more movement.

The emperor's face was ugly, he raised his head and glared at Li Xin, gnashing his teeth.

"Teacher, you lied to me again!"

"I did not lie to Your Majesty."

Lord Jing'an said indifferently: "Your Majesty wants to lie to me."

He walked up to the emperor, reached out to take the torch from the emperor, walked to the center of the school field by himself, then miraculously took out another clay pot from his sleeve, lit the kindling paper, and calmly retreated to the side.

The flames also burn out, with very different results.

The clay pot made a loud noise and burst open!

Immediately, white smoke billowed from the center of the school grounds, and fragments of pottery fragments scattered everywhere, splashing everywhere.

Li Xin put his hands in his sleeves, walked slowly in front of the emperor, bowed slightly: "Your Majesty saw that the minister was indeed carrying a thunderbolt, and he did not deceive His Majesty, but His Majesty wanted to play tricks, it's broken." There is a rare trust between us."

The emperor's face suddenly became cloudy.

He is not sure now whether the first clay pot didn't explode because he broke the seal, or because the medicine powder in the pot was fake in the first place!

If it is false, it means that all his actions were predicted by Li Xin in advance, and he responded accordingly!

If it is true, then he, the Son of Heaven, is judging the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain.

What's worse, he didn't dare to bet on whether these powders were real, because he couldn't afford to bet, Da Jin urgently needed to get Tianlei, and it was impossible to miss another three years because of this!

Thinking of this, Emperor Yuanzhao snatched the porcelain bottle full of medicine powder just now from Xiao Huai's hand at the side, and threw it hard on the ground. The porcelain bottle fell to the ground and instantly shattered.

He first glanced at the white smoke that hadn't cleared in the center of the school grounds, then turned his head and forced a smile at Li Xin: "I was just joking with the teacher, tomorrow I will issue an edict to let Ye Mao go out of Beijing and return to Jizhou to lead the army, and then Then draw up an edict and let the teacher go north."

Lord Jing'an chuckled, "Your Majesty's joke almost cost me my life."

If the emperor got the sample of Tianlei in advance, then Li Xin would at least end up in prison for life, and if he failed, he would be killed by the emperor.

The young emperor laughed and said, "No matter what, I will not kill Teacher."

He waved to Xiao Huai who was on the side, and said, "Xiao Huai, send the teacher back home on my behalf."

Li Xin didn't say anything more, he bowed his hands to the emperor, then got on the sedan chair again, and left the big school grounds.

The emperor looked at Li Xin's direction, his eyes were full of resentment.

He looked down at the pile of broken porcelain pieces and the black medicinal powder under his feet again, and said coldly to the eunuch beside him, "Collect all these medicinal powders and send them to the Ministry of Industry for those craftsmen. If there is a little bit of black ash, you can find a way to die for yourself."

Saying yes, the emperor snorted and walked away.

The dozen or so craftsmen around him were so frightened that their faces turned blue, and they knelt on the ground one after another, and began to collect those black medicinal powders.

At this time, the sedan chair carrying Li Xin was about to arrive at the entrance of Yong'an Gate. After walking out of Yong'an Gate, Li Xin stopped the inner guard who was carrying the sedan chair, then got off the sedan chair, and said, "Go back, the rest I'll walk back by myself."

These inner guards looked at each other, saluted Li Xin with fists cupped, and then walked away carrying the sedan chair.

At this time, the sky was completely dark, and the moonlight spread down, illuminating the bluestone road of Yonglefang and the light blue city wall of Yonganmen behind.

Li Xin walked a few steps with his hands behind his back, and then he turned around and saw the Yong'an Gate that he was all too familiar with.

For more than ten years, he has entered and exited through this palace gate countless times.

"You are much worse than your father."

Under the moonlight, Taifu Li shook his head and sighed softly: "Compared to Emperor Zhao, it is far worse."

"Since the love is exhausted, I have no choice but to do something I should do..."

Chapter 996 Master Uncle and Fourth Uncle

In the winter of the 17th year of Chengde, Li Xin, in ragged clothes, walked into the Deyi Building with a basket of poorly carved charcoal on his back. At that time, Cui Jiuniang gave him a bite to eat. Later, it was also because of the Deyi Building that Li Xin met the former King of Wei. , two young people stumbled and supported each other, and eventually one became the emperor of Taikang, Emperor Jing of the Jin Dynasty, and the other became the first upstart of the Taikang Dynasty and the youngest general in the entire Jin Dynasty.

This is the love of incense.

In the third year of Taikang, Li Xin returned to Beijing from the southwest. The emperor and Empress Xie thought of a way to get the prince to recognize Li Xin as a teacher. At that time, the emperor of Taikang was only seven or eight years old. From then on, he often went to and from Jing'an The Hou Mansion even lived with the Ninth Princess for two months every year. Li Xin's family watched him grow up.

This is also the love of incense.

On this night, the love between the two families finally reached the point where there was not much left. As Li Xin and the emperor said, it was time for each to rely on his own ability.

In the moonlight, Lord Jing'an returned home alone.

Early the next morning, the Son of Heaven summoned the prime ministers of Shangshutai to discuss matters. At noon, Shangshutai drew up an imperial edict ordering Chen Guogong Ye Mao to go out of Beijing to serve as the general of Zhenbei. is unbelievable.

For this imperial decree, he and Ye Lin have entered the palace three times to challenge Emperor Yuanzhao, but they were all resolutely rejected by the emperor. He was given the title of an official general.

You must know that because of his seniority, Ye Mao has always been the temporary general in Jizhou. Although there is no difference in reality, this means that Ye Mao has officially entered the rank of the top general of the Jin Dynasty. , Become a general who can coach a side.

The battle in Jizhou was tense. After Ye Mao received the imperial edict, he didn't delay at all. He immediately asked his family to prepare their luggage. Generals don't just leave immediately. First, they need to prepare horses, armor, bows, etc. Choose the family generals at home as the bodyguards. Of course, Ye Mao has his own bodyguards in Jizhou, so there is no need to bring too many people from the capital. The main thing is to feed the horses and prepare the entourage. And arrange the housework in the capital.

Even though Ye Mao was in a hurry, these things would take at least one day to finish. The next morning, before dawn, the third-generation Chen Guogong rode out of Yongle Square with fifty or sixty generals .

When the Ye family's cavalry arrived at the gate of Yonglefang, Ye Mao saw a familiar figure. He quickly got off his horse, walked up to the man in Tsing Yi, lowered his head slightly and clasped his fists.

"Uncle Li."

Li Xin stretched out his head to look behind Ye Mao, and found that there were only more than 50 people. He shook his head slightly: "You have not brought enough people."

Ye Mao frowned: "Uncle Shi, it's just that we don't need too many people to go north."

Li Xin sighed noncommittally, and reached out to pat Ye Mao on the shoulder: "Nowadays, Jizhou should be in a precarious state. If you go north alone like this, it won't be of much use when you arrive in Jizhou. I still say the same thing. The northern army can do their best, but you can't die."

This time Ye Mao answered very simply, he bowed his head and said: "My nephew has memorized the teachings of my uncle."

Speaking of this, he glanced at Li Xin, and asked, "I can go out of Beijing, but Fourth Uncle can't use his strength. I think it was what you said in front of His Majesty, Uncle Shi."

Li Xin did not answer directly, but said indifferently.

"If there are no accidents, I will leave Beijing tomorrow."

Ye Guogong was shocked, and said: "Your Majesty...how can you let Master Uncle go out of Beijing?"

"Naturally, I offered a price that he couldn't refuse."
