Unparalleled Concubine

Li Xin shook his head slightly: "It's not a big deal, but it has a lot to do with me, and I still need to talk about it in person, otherwise it will be disrespectful to the elders."

Zhao Jia looked around, although he didn't understand the meaning of Li Xin's words, but he didn't ask any more, just stood quietly behind Li Xin and waited for Weiyang Palace to open the door.

Soon, the hour of Chen came, the main gate of Weiyang Palace opened wide, and the eunuchs in the palace sang loudly: "Hundred officials enter the palace."

Li Xin walked in the front, all civil and military officials followed behind him, and walked into the main hall of Weiyang Palace.

Surrounded by the eunuch Xiao Huai and others, the young emperor entered the Weiyang Palace. Xiao Huai, who was dressed in red, stood beside the throne. He glanced at all the civil and military officials as usual. The great eunuch who had been a young prisoner in the palace for more than ten years and managed to put on the red clothes shivered violently.

The Son of Heaven on the throne also saw Li Xin who was standing at the front. He stood up in a panic and wanted to speak, but he didn't know what to say, so he could only sit down again.

The court meeting began soon, the young emperor coughed, and asked directly: "Teacher has been recuperating at home these days, and today he went to the palace in person, I don't know...?"

Only then did Li Xin hold the imperial wat in his hand, took a step forward, bowed slightly to the emperor, and said, "Your Majesty, I... have something to write to."

As soon as he said this, all the civil and military officials in Weiyang Palace, including the emperor, were a little puzzled.

Now the military affairs of the capital are all in the hands of General Li. If you have anything to do, you can just order it down. Why bother to come here and act like this?

The new emperor was stunned for a moment, and then quickly said: "Teacher just said it,... I can do anything."

Li Xin bowed slightly to the emperor, then took out a memorial book from his sleeve, held it in his hand, and said to the emperor in a deep voice: "Master Ye Gong, who has made outstanding achievements in battle all his life, has made countless contributions to the Jin Dynasty, today The land of Jiangbei was developed by the predecessors, and the old man died of illness in the eighth year of Taikang, but... so far, there is no posthumous title."

Li Dadu's voice was low: "I think that with the merits of the former teacher, at least he should be crowned the king of the county."

In fact, there is nothing wrong with Li Xin's words. With Ye Cheng's merits, he should be crowned king during his lifetime, not to mention after death. With the credit of splashing the sky, he is just a Chen Guogong.

Not only that, because of this ancestral teaching, the Duke's position has reached its peak, and even after his death, the imperial court did not confer a title on him.

The descendants of the Ye family have always been a little unhappy about this matter, but no one dared to violate the precepts of the Taizu ancestors, so no one dared to speak up. As Ye Cheng's only disciple, Li Xin brought it up at the court, so naturally It couldn't be more appropriate.

As soon as these words came out, needles could be heard in Weiyang Palace.

On the surface, Li Xin was asking for a title for Ye Guogong, but this incident had other meanings behind it.

According to the emperor Taizu's sacrament, non-Ji family members are not allowed to be king, and now you, Ye Cheng, are king, setting this precedent, then will Chen Sheng be king, and Zhao Sheng be king?

Will you, Li Changan, become king again? !

If it was in the Taikang Dynasty or the Yuanzhao Dynasty, even if Li Xin was already an extremely human minister, he would definitely be scolded for saying this, and would even be chased by civil servants, but now... the entire Weiyang Palace No one dared to speak, and needles could be heard.

No one dared to stand up and mention "Taizu Zuxun".

Because everyone knew very well that if this Jing'an Hou Mansion was annoyed, not to mention the ancestor's instructions, even the tablet of the Taizu might be overturned directly!

Seeing that no one dared to speak, Li Xin frowned slightly, looked left and right, and asked, "Could it be that everyone thinks that the merits of the former teacher are not worthy of being the king of Ningling County?"

"Naturally it deserves it."

No one spoke, Zhao Jia, the right servant of the Shangshu, stood up quickly, holding the imperial wat in his hand, and said: "Old Lord Ye fought for eight years and helped me rule the world in the Great Jin Dynasty. No amount of reward is too high."

The young Zaifu glanced back at the civil and military officials in the court, and said with a smile: "Do you think so?"

Both Li Xin and Zhao Jia had spoken, and the officials in the court naturally understood what they meant, and immediately echoed: "What Zhao Xiang said is that with Ye Guogong's martial arts, he should have been named the county king long ago. It was the imperial court’s negligence, which forgot about it.”

Some thick-skinned ones said directly: "A county king must have wronged Ye Gongye!"

"Old Duke Ye's meritorious deeds shine through the annals of history, so he is naturally a county king."

The ministers have said so, and the new emperor, who does not have any right to speak, naturally will not have any opinions. The 12-year-old emperor said crisply: "In this case... let the Ministry of Rites handle this matter." That's all."

A matter that blatantly violated the precepts of the great ancestor was dealt with without any hindrance.

……

After the court was over, Zhao Jia followed Li Xin, walked out of Weiyang Palace, and said with a smile: "The chief governor's move is clever. Firstly, it can test the attitude of the court officials, secondly, it can also let the Laye family go into trouble, and more It can pave the way for the future.”

Li Xin stopped, looked back at Zhao Jia, and shook his head slightly.

"Brother You'an was wrong."

"I've wanted to do this for a long time."

"Master Ye has been aggrieved for half his life. As a disciple, he will naturally fight for some back when he can. No matter whether he can see it or not, he should."

"Other things, I didn't think about it."

Chapter 1142 The first year of Yankang

Li Xin's act of begging for the prince for Ye Cheng was seen by most of the officials in the capital. Under the interpretation of interested people, this behavior changed its taste. Many speculators have already begun to think about how to make some auspicious or ominous things Come out, and then write a letter to "persuade you to enter".

Persuading people to enter this business is the easiest business in the world. As long as there is someone who wants to be emperor in history, even if the first person to persuade him is not adopted, his official career will be prosperous in the future. Of course, with the current situation of the Jin Dynasty In the current situation, there will be no idiots jumping out to persuade them to enter within a year or two, but they have indeed begun to fiddle with "Heaven's Omen".

At this time, Li Dadu was ignorant of these.

After returning from the imperial court, he began to prepare the New Year's Eve dinner himself. He has been traveling around all these years, and rarely gets to celebrate the New Year with his family members. Now he has finally settled down, with his wife and children by his side. This New Year's Eve is natural Be more grand.

In the early morning of the New Year's Eve, the governor began to work in the kitchen. Basically, he made all the dishes and snacks he would cook in his previous life. Zhong Xiaoxiao also got up early to help himself brother is busy.

Originally, the nine princesses would not allow Li Xin to get involved in these kitchen matters, but Li Dadu insisted on cooking in person, and the nine princesses had no choice but to nod in agreement.

Li Xin's eldest daughter, Li Shu, also went to work in the kitchen. Since the girl was born, the Li family had already made a fortune. She basically never went to the kitchen. After spending half an hour in the kitchen, she made herself ashamed. His face was full of embarrassment.

The girl wiped the black ash on her face with her sleeve nonchalantly, she ran under the stove, looked at Zhong Xiaoxiao who was burning the fire, and also moved a small stool to sit beside Zhong Xiaoxiao, and said crisply: " Little aunt, can you still light a fire?"

She was born in the third year of Taikang. At that time, Zhong Xiaoxiao had been with Li Xin for many years and didn't cook much in the kitchen. As long as Li Shu could remember, Zhong Xiaoxiao had hardly cooked by herself, so she It was also the first time I saw my little aunt go out to the kitchen to light a fire.

Zhong Xiaoxiao skillfully filled the firewood into the stove, and smiled softly at Li Shu: "My aunt was able to start a fire when she was three or four years old, and she has been burning it for many years."

Saying that, Zhong Xiaoxiao glanced at Li Xin who was busy in the kitchen, and remembered the young man who was almost frozen to death in the ruined temple, and said softly: "When your father first arrived in the capital, it was me I set fire to him and it burned for almost a year."

Up to now, little is known about Li Xin selling carbon in the capital. Even if he knew, he would not bring it up easily. Zhong Xiaoxiao wanted to take care of his elder brother's face, and never mentioned Li Xin's embarrassing time in front of others. .

At this time, Li Xin, who was marinating chicken legs, heard the conversation between his aunt and nephew, put down the work at hand, and said with a smile: "At that time, Dad just arrived in the capital and almost froze to death in the snow. If it weren't for you Little aunt saves you, and you won't have any siblings right now."

"Father sold charcoal in the capital for a while. At that time, it was your little aunt who lit the fire for Dad."

Li Shu naturally didn't understand how dangerous Li Xin's situation was back then. After hearing these words, she scratched her head: "Father, how did the carbon burn out?"

Li Xin stretched out his hand, wiped the black dust off her face, and said with a smile, "You, it's better not to know."

After finishing speaking, Li Xin turned his head to look at Zhong Xiaoxiao, and said softly: "Xiaoxiao, we're almost busy here, you go to Qinhuaifang and invite Sister Cui to your home, let's have a New Year's Eve dinner."

When this girl followed Li Xin, she was only five or six years old. At that time, Li Xin was only 16 years old. She basically didn't know how to take care of the little girl. Xiao was basically brought up by Cui Jiuniang.

Not only that, Cui Jiuniang also taught her to read and write, which is her teacher.

Zhong Xiaoxiao got up quickly, washed her hands and said, "I'm going to invite Sister Cui over here."
