Unparalleled Concubine

Therefore, the penalty of half a year's salary can only be regarded as a small warning, which is harmless at all.

The Jing'an Hou Mansion gave such an ambiguous result, and Zaifu, who was in power in the Shangshutai at the time, invited Zhou Youyi into his home for a meal. More than enough hints from officials.

It is foreseeable that in the next period of time, "auspiciousness" similar to this white ganoderma will appear frequently. When there are enough auspicious signs and the Jing'an Marquis Mansion does not have strong punishment measures, these speculators will Will start to persuade.

No matter which way it is, Zhao Jia, Mu Ying and other forces in the southwest are happy to see it, so Zhao Jia even made it clear in his capacity as Prime Minister.

Sure enough, in the three months after Zhou Youyi's first auspicious omen, the imperial court received more than a dozen "auspicious omens". Most of the content of the seal script is similar to the prophecy "The destiny is in the seedlings". Of course, some of them have better intentions, and some simply write "Eighteen sons, rule the world", which is simple and easy to guess. riddle.

Regarding these "auspiciousness", most officials in the court remained silent. Although the emperor was angry, he could only pretend that he didn't see it. Don't ask, it's as if you never knew there were these things.

However, it is an undeniable fact that, except for Zhou Youyi, who was fined for half a year, most of the officials who offered "auspiciousness" were not punished.

As a result, these people seemed to see a long line of blue clouds and became more fanatical.

At this time, it was late autumn in the first year of Yankang, and it had been nearly a year since the new emperor ascended the throne.

Li Dadu, who lived in seclusion, also came out of Jing'an Hou's mansion. He was wearing a thick padded jacket. In the black carriage of Jing'an Hou Mansion, he left the city from the east gate and walked towards a small hill in the east of the city.

After less than an hour, the carriage stopped at the destination. Li Xin got off the carriage and looked up at the hill in front of him, which was not very tall but not too short.

Emperors use hills as mausoleums, and this is Tailing Mausoleum, the mausoleum of Emperor Jing, the seventh emperor of the Jin Dynasty.

Now is the first year of Yankang, and six years have passed since the death of Emperor Jing.

What happened in these six years was much greater than the changes that took place in the entire ten years during the Taikang period.

Li Xin looked up at the long Shinto at the foot of the long mountain, and with two jars of wine in his hand, he walked up the stairs silently.

The Shinto path was very long, and he walked for about half an hour before reaching the Tailing Hall of Tailing Mausoleum.

The so-called Tailing Hall is the hall of enjoyment of the emperor's mausoleum, where the tablets and portraits of Emperor Jing are enshrined, and the emperor's life's achievements are written.

Because not long after Emperor Jing passed away, the incense in the Tailing Mausoleum was very prosperous. There were more than a dozen eunuchs sweeping and serving every day in only one Xiangdian.

With a jar of wine in his hand, Li Xin stepped into the hall of enjoyment, and then said silently to the dozen or so eunuchs in the hall, "You all, go out."

At this time, Li Xin had been in charge of the capital for nearly a year, and even the eunuchs guarding the imperial mausoleum knew who was in charge of the court, so after hearing Li Xin's words, they quickly responded respectfully, Then withdrew from the Xiangdian of the Tailing Mausoleum.

Outside the gate of Xiangdian, there are dozens of personal guards from Jing'an Hou's Mansion, and no one is allowed to enter or leave.

When there was only one person left in the hall, Li Xin raised his head silently, staring at the portrait of Emperor Jing in a daze for a long time, finally sighed silently, sat down on the futon in front of the coffin, and looked up at Emperor Yan.

"I haven't been back to the capital for several years. I should have come here to see you as soon as I came back, but..."

Sitting on the futon, Li Xin sprinkled the strong wine from the wine jar in front of Taikang Emperor's spirit, and then smiled wryly: "But after all, I didn't come back seriously, so I feel a little embarrassed to come here."

"I used to not believe in a spirit after death, but then I thought, since I have a spirit after death, you should also have a spirit after death."

"Before the Southwest Army entered Beijing, you came to see me, didn't you?"

Li Xin looked up at the Emperor Taikang in the portrait, and laughed at himself: "It's useless for you to come and see me. If I should fight the capital, I will still fight the capital. At that moment, let alone your son is on the throne, it will be you." I am on the throne, and I will grit my teeth and pull you down."

Li Xin poured about half a jug of Zhu Rongjiu on the ground, then raised his head and took a big gulp, his face flushed red from being choked by the spirits.

It took him a lot of time to slow down, and he described it as a bit embarrassed.

"I'm actually not very suitable for being a big shot."

Li Xin put the wine jar in front of him, wiped the wine off his face with his hands, and said silently: "If I were a big shot, I would have demolished your family's ancestral temple by now. , and there are only a few left, at this time the surname Li has long been in the world, and it has nothing to do with your Ji family."

"In my bones, I'm still a small person."

Li Xin sat in the Tailing Palace without any image, and laughed at himself: "So until now, I am still a little embarrassed for your family."

He seemed to be talking to himself, and he seemed to be talking to someone in the dark.

"Actually, when I first met you, I knew very well in my heart that if you want to use me, I will also use you. You and I are at best allies, not friends."

"Until the entire Taikang Dynasty, I couldn't figure out whether I had ever been your friend."

"Until it's time for you to leave..."

"Didn't take me with you."

Li Xin closed his eyes and said silently: "At that time, I was already a threat to the court. You could take me with you, but you didn't. Since then, I think the two of us may have been friends for many years. .”

"Since you regard me as a friend, I also regard you as a friend."

Li Xin sat on the futon, talking to himself.

"Things have come to this point, neither I nor the Southwest Army can turn back. You are my friend, and so are those of them."

"I will leave blood for your eldest son."

"Now they're pushing me hard..."

Li Xin's face was flushed, and his voice was a little fuzzy.

"Everyone is for himself in the world, and so am I..."

Chapter 1155 Fu Has Distant Relatives in the Mountains

In November of the first year of Yankang, His Royal Highness King Huai, who had abdicated for a year, died of a sudden illness.

After receiving the news, Emperor Yankang cried loudly and almost passed out. He ordered King Huai to be buried according to the emperor's etiquette, and buried in the imperial tomb that Yuanzhao Yuanzhao began to excavate.

His Majesty the Emperor, who had sat on the throne for five years, had no heirs even though he had a princess during his reign. However, he gave birth to a son during the year he lived in Prince Huai's Mansion.

So this young son who was just born in Prince Huai's mansion inherited the title of King Huai, and Emperor Yankang personally issued an edict, giving King Huai a hereditary title of nobility.

In the twelfth lunar month of the first year of Yankang, King Huai of the Great Jin Dynasty was officially buried in the Emperor's Mausoleum.

It was also on this day that the mistress of the Jing'an Hou Mansion, Princess Qinghe of the Great Jin Dynasty, went to Huai Wang's Mansion when she found out that her nephew had died of a sudden illness, and took the young son of Huai Wang's mansion into her yard and raised her personally.

Because she knew very well in her heart that only if this child was raised in the Jing'an Hou's mansion, would he be able to grow up smoothly. If he was placed in the Huai Wang's mansion, he might die within a few years.

Because the Prince Huai's Mansion should not have been passed down by blood, this child was Li Xin's merciful thought, but most people in the capital were not willing to see this kind of merciful.

Li Xin didn't say anything about the actions of the Ninth Princess, which was regarded as acquiescing.

For a whole year, most of the key positions in the middle and upper levels of the court are now being done by someone from the Southwest line, or someone who has completely turned to the Jing'an Hou Mansion.

If it is said that in the fifth year of Yuanzhao, the Southwest Army only entered the capital, then at this moment, the Southwest faction headed by Li Xin has completely controlled the imperial court, and the military affairs of a country are already in Li Xin's hands. .

The capital has changed hands, but the intertwined forces in the local area cannot be completely conquered by any one force. However, after a year, most of the local forces have already known what is going on in the capital. A series of officials in the Southwest on the Internet began to slowly reach a tacit understanding with local forces.

At the same time, the vassal princes of the Ji family clan all over the country were more or less sent to keep an eye on them.
