Unparalleled Concubine

The old man glanced at Li Xin, and asked, "What's the name of Xiaojiu's little daughter?"

The little girl of Li Xin's family was born in the southwest, and she has never been to the capital, so she has never seen her before, and she doesn't know her name.

"It's called Jing'er."

Li Xin said with a smile: "This girl hasn't been to the capital yet. When she comes, I'll bring her to see her mother."

The old lady had only two children in her life, and her son, Emperor Taikang, had died of illness for more than five years, and there was only a girl like Princess Jiu who could be missed.

"it is good."

The Empress Dowager continued to turn the beads and closed her eyes.

"The Ai family is in the harem, but they only ask about political affairs, and I don't know how the relationship between you and the Ji family came to this point, but no matter what, you, Li Chang'an, won this battle after all."

"The Ai family has also read history books, and knows that as long as you win in this kind of thing, you can do whatever you want."

"You have come to this day, and you can still think of visiting my mother-in-law. The Ai family is somewhat relieved."

The old lady closed her eyes, her voice was calm: "Now that the court situation has reached such a point, the Ai family knows that there is nothing to persuade you, but since you called me mother, I still have something to persuade you."

Li Xin got up, lowered his hands and said, "Mother teaches."

The old man let out a long sigh.

"Less murder."

Chapter 1116 Welcome to the new king!

People say natural disasters and man-made disasters, but in fact in this era, man-made disasters are sometimes more serious than natural disasters, and the most serious of man-made disasters is military disasters.

Once a military disaster occurs in a certain place, it is normal for families to be destroyed. What is even more frightening is that these soldiers who kill people do not break the law, and you have no place to reason.

The Southwest Army is also a soldier, and it is a soldier of this era. Their military discipline is far less strict than that of later generations. When they enter the capital, it is inevitable that some people will behave mischievously. In just one night, Li Xin received [-] or [-] soldiers from the Southwest Army. Bad news.

Although the Southwest Army generally obeyed the rules, Li Xin still strictly dealt with these soldiers who harassed the people. There were 27 soldiers in total, and 24 of them died under the Southwest Army's military law.

That night, Li Xin returned to live in his Jing'an Hou Mansion. Early the next morning, before dawn, he got up early and went to the south of the capital.

The city gate waits.

It wasn't just him who went to the south gate to wait for others. At this time, all the civil and military officials in Beijing, except for Shang Shutai's house and another prime minister, all the officials of the fourth rank and above, almost [-]% of them arrived. .

These people are all here to welcome the new king.

Now the situation in the capital is very clear. Emperor Yuanzhao has issued an edict to abdicate, and the throne will be handed over only when the new emperor arrives in the capital. At this time, very few people will have trouble with their own future. After all, everyone is dragging their families. After all, there are not many ruthless people who can put a whole family in danger with a little integrity.

Even if Li Xin is in the position of a hundred officials in the capital, he will obediently come out to welcome the new king in this situation. Those who have backbone and integrity are certainly respectable, but those who bow their heads to life and reality are understandable.

In fact, the vast majority of people in this world are the latter. Even if they were not when they were young, they will be gradually molded into this appearance by society when they are older.

It just so happened that there were very few young people among the court officials above the fourth rank.

Li Xin was wearing the Imperial Tutor's court attire, and stood at the gate of the south gate of the capital. At about Chen's hour, an apricot-yellow carriage drove slowly from the official road to the south gate.

The sixth prince was in Luzhou City before, and Luzhou City is on the west side of the capital. He was supposed to be greeted at the West Gate, but the West Gate has been bombarded by the Southwest Army for several months, and now it is a mess. It is not suitable to welcome the new king, so the place is chosen at the south gate.

The carriage stopped slowly at the gate of the city, Li Xin stepped forward and opened the curtain, and pulled the sixth prince Ji Ying out of the carriage.

When he was kicked out of the capital by Emperor Yuanzhao five years ago, he was less than six years old. Now that five years have passed, the sixth prince is only 11 years old.

The 11-year-old boy, even though he was a little precocious, was still a little ignorant. After he was pulled out of the carriage by Li Xin, he looked at dozens of officials dressed in rich purple, looked at Li Xin in confusion, and asked: "Aunt...Uncle?"

Li Xin patted his hand lightly, and said calmly, "Your Highness, don't panic, these people are here to welcome His Highness."

After finishing speaking, General Li glanced at these ministers and said, "Everyone, the sixth prince has arrived, what are you still doing?"

As soon as Li Xin's words came out, these people knelt on the ground as if they had just woken up from a dream, and kowtowed to the sixth prince, "Minister, I have seen Your Highness..."

This sound is not very neat, because there are some unharmonious sounds in it.

Some people did not address "Your Highness", but directly called "Your Majesty".

At this time, Ji Ying still only had the status of the sixth prince, and he didn't even have a prince on him. Kneeling to greet each other was already flattering, and calling "Your Majesty" would be a shameless act.

Li Xin frowned slightly, glanced at these people, but did not speak.

It is worth mentioning that Li Xin is holding the sixth prince's arm at this time, that is to say, he is standing with the sixth prince. These people kneel down to worship the sixth prince, that is, they are kneeling down to Li Xin. Facing this scene, Li Da The general didn't mean to evade.

Although the sixth prince belongs to the royal family, he has not seen much of the "world". Under such a scene, he was a little dazed. After a long time, he stretched out his arms tremblingly: "Everyone...you get up quickly!" stop."

Hearing this sentence, these ministers of civil and military affairs got up from the ground together, and their voices were in unison.

"Your Majesty... Congratulations on your return to Beijing."

In a dazed state, the sixth prince, accompanied by Li Xin, walked along Desheng Avenue, from the south gate all the way to the imperial city. At this time, there were still corpses left in some places in the capital, but as The Desheng Street, as well as the entire imperial city, have been cleaned up and are as magnificent as before.

In this way, surrounded by the officials, the sixth prince came to the main hall of Weiyang Palace in the imperial city.

At this time, the eunuch pronouncing the decree on the imperial steps is no longer the old eunuch Xiao Zheng, but the eunuch Xiao Huai, who is less than 30 years old. This eunuch Xiao has already taken off his purple clothes and put on a red one. , standing on the imperial steps, holding the imperial decree in his hands, with a high-pitched voice.

The interested people in the court have noticed Xiao Huai's red clothes, and have sensed the change of power in the inner court.

The imperial decree read by Xiao Huai was very simple, to the effect that Emperor Yuanzhao officially abdicated, and three days later, the sixth prince, Ji Ying, would ascend the throne in Weiyang Palace.

According to the general succession process, three days is a bit too impatient, but because there is no emperor, and the new emperor does not have to guard the spirit of the previous emperor, three days is reasonable.

The sixth prince Ji Ying, with a dazed look on his face, was pushed to the throne of Weiyang Palace, accepted the worship of all officials, and became the future emperor of the Jin Dynasty.

During this process, Emperor Yuanzhao never showed up, and no one knew where he went.

According to the rules, after three days, Emperor Yuanzhao should hand over the emperor's seal to the new emperor, so that people in the world will not gossip too much. It is still unknown whether Emperor Yuanzhao will cooperate in the current situation.

But it doesn't matter.

Gongyang Shu died in the hands of Li Xin, and his reputation was already bad. If Emperor Yuanzhao didn't cooperate, it wouldn't matter if he forcibly ascended the throne.

If there are too many lice, do not raise them.

Soon, all the officials had finished their pilgrimage, and all of them withdrew from Weiyang Palace. Not long after, there were only the sixth prince who hadn't recovered from his senses, and General Li in Taifu's robe.

Ji Ying ran down the imperial steps in a panic, and came to Li Xin. The boy's face turned pale, and his voice trembled: "Uncle...what's going on?"

He has been in Shanyin all these years. After Li Xin took him to the Southwest, although he vaguely knew what would happen, he knew anything about the Southwest Army's Eastern Expedition, and he didn't know what happened.

Li Xin reached out and patted his shoulder, and smiled slightly: "It's very simple, our battle has been won, and you will be the emperor."

Ji Ying was in a daze, and suddenly looked up at Li Xin, flinching and said, "Uncle... what about Brother Huang?"
