Unparalleled Concubine

The emperor then slowly raised his head and looked at the middle-aged teacher in front of him.

The two looked at each other, as if they had been separated forever.

I remember more than ten years ago, when the Son of Heaven was only ten years old, he would often follow behind Li Xin, and sometimes, when he became mischievous, he would grab the beard that Li Xin had managed to grow.

In the blink of an eye, more than ten years have passed, and the master and apprentice are sitting together, and their situations are vastly different from each other. When I think about it carefully, it seems like a lifetime has passed.

Li Xin looked at the emperor who was in a daze, and sighed slightly.

"You've lost your mind."

"I don't know how the late emperor told you before he left, but he told me before he left, let me take good care of you."

General Li sat on the chair, looked at the pale emperor in front of him, and slowly let out a breath: "At that time, I promised."

"As a person, everything I say counts. I promised the late emperor that he would take care of you, and I will take care of you. So when the assistant minister overstepped his power, I took the opportunity to write a letter asking you to take charge of the government in advance."

"At that time, you only need to nod your head, and you can take over the court. I can bear all the unstable factors for you, but you don't appreciate it."

Li Xin frowned slightly.

"I remember that it was in Weiyang Palace at that time. You personally saved Shen Kuan and others. You thought you had won the way of balance, and you were very proud."

Li Xin looked at his disciple with a calm tone: "Have you ever thought about how I felt at that time?"

"I... I... don't know..."

The emperor's face was pale, and he looked up at Li Xin, his voice panicked: "Father told me before leaving that the court should be balanced...so."

Li Xin was expressionless: "At the beginning, I said that the four major ministers were abolished, and I also resigned from office. How could it be unbalanced?"

"Let's leave this alone."

Lord Jing'an snorted: "Less than half a year after this incident, you were cornered by Shen Yan and others in the court hall. At this time, you remembered me as a teacher. To me who is far away in the southwest, Sent a letter."

"I was quite chilled at that time, and I didn't want to go back to the capital and interfere in political affairs, but because I promised your father, I couldn't just sit and watch you being eaten alive by those old men, so I went to Beijing again, and I was about to chop you up. The knife on his head was on his body."

Li Xin stood up from the chair, put his hands in his sleeves, and said in a cold voice, "Shen Kuan, Yan Shouzhuo, both were assistant ministers at the time, and they were also masters in the literary world. They were all killed, do you know how much I have been scolded over the years?"

"How many scholars do you know, wish you could stab me, a reckless man who only knows how to kill, with a pen?"

"I took all the infamy and once again helped you take back the power of the court. At that time, I could have stayed in the capital and ruled the government with the power of murder, but I didn't. I took my family back to Yongzhou gone."

"But after this incident, how did His Majesty treat me as a teacher?"

Li Taifu's voice was cold.

"Your Majesty started sending assassins to Yongzhou one after another!"

"Have you ever thought about why your father asked you to worship me as a teacher?!"

Chapter 1121 The Last Drink

Unlike other extremely talented traversers, Li Xin is not particularly outstanding in all aspects. It can even be said that he is an ordinary person who cannot be more ordinary. If there are any characteristics, he can only be said to be a little smarter. ordinary people.

Human nature is very complicated, and we cannot simply use the label of good person or bad person to make a conclusion on a person, but in Li Xin's own opinion, he is definitely not a bad person.

In his previous life, Li Xin was a good man with no big ambitions. His dream was to be rich and peaceful in that city. After arriving in this world, his goal did not change much. He wanted to be a local rich man or an idle official. A lifetime will do.

So when he sat in the position of "Marquis of Jing'an", his wish in this life was fulfilled. According to Li Xin's own intention, he would be satisfied if he could be the Marquis of Taiping in Dajin for the rest of his life.

Of course, he thinks differently from people in this era, and he is not used to leaving his wealth and life in the hands of others, so even if he is willing to be a prince of Taiping, he has left some backup hands for himself, some enough to save his life behind.

It is precisely because of Li Xin's unique thinking that Muying established the Hanzhou Army in the southwest, and then the embryonic form of the Southwest Army came into being, and then the Southwest Army was formed step by step.

Up to today, many things happened, which were not expected by Li Xin. He was pushed to his current position by one incident after another.

Looking back on the past, if in the first year of Yuanzhao, the emperor was really willing to let go of his guard and trust Li Xin wholeheartedly, Li Xin would probably go back to his hometown and sit on his own Taiping Marquis, without any ambitions.

It's a pity that things can't be controlled by others. Now Li Xin has become the general of the Southwest Army, and the Southwest Army has also controlled the court, so he has to do what the general of the Southwest should do.

After the change of Renchen Palace that year, Emperor Taikang wanted his eldest son to worship under Li Xin no matter what. Naturally, his original intention was to make Li Xin the prince's reliance in the court, and he also wanted Li Xin to be the prince's ally. Party, and then rely on each other.

But in just over five years after the death of Emperor Taikang, things have become out of hand.

Emperor Yuanzhao closed his eyes in pain, and did not speak for a long time.

Soon, several dishes of side dishes were brought up and placed on the low table in Weiyang Palace. Li Xin got up himself, moved the low table in front of the emperor, then sat down opposite the emperor, and poured him a glass of Zhurong wine with his own hands.

"It's getting cold, drink a glass of wine to warm up."

The emperor still bowed his head and did not move.

Li Xin smiled dumbly: "Why, are you afraid that I will poison you to death?"

Now all the yamen and government offices in the imperial city, including the imperial chef, have been taken over by the Anbu under Li Xin's command, and the food that can be delivered to Li Xin must have been poisoned.

Li Xin poured himself a glass of wine, raised his head and drank it all, then smiled at Emperor Yuanzhao: "Look, I drank it too, if there is any poison in this wine, you and I will die here together. "

"Besides, if I want to kill you, I don't need to go to such trouble."

The emperor silently picked up the wine glass, raised his head bitterly and drank it down.

Next, he drank several sips of wine in one breath, and the strong smell of alcohol rose up, making the face of the young emperor flushed red.

The emperor calmed down a little after drinking several cups in a row. He looked up at Li Xin, and there was clearly fear in his hoarse voice.

"Uncle...I don't want to die..."

Li Xin was expressionless: "No one wants to die."

The emperor lowered his head and said in a depressed voice, "I haven't seen my aunt for many years, and sister Ahan... I haven't seen her for many years either."

He looked up at Li Xin timidly: "Uncle, if you insist on killing me, I want to see my aunt before I die..."

"She brought me up..."

Taifu Li looked at the terrified emperor, and sighed slightly: "Indeed, if your aunt returns to the capital, I won't be able to kill you, but she still has at least two months before she can return to the capital. I can wait for the time, but the generals of the Southwest Army can't wait."

Speaking of this, Li Xin paused, and continued: "At that time, your brother who is about to sit on the throne may also be impatient to kill you."

"Too many people want you dead."

Li Xin closed his eyes and breathed out a foul breath: "To tell you the truth, even I don't really want to leave you such a disaster."

The emperor gritted his teeth hard, unable to speak a word.

"For the sake of calling me uncle and being my first student, you can tell me what you want. If you can help me, I will try my best to help you."
