Unparalleled Concubine

Ye Ming's request letter to Yu Linwei, Li Xin arrived in the capital first, after all, the courier has one person and one horse, and there is no need to march, so the natural speed is much faster.

For the Great Jin Dynasty, Southern Shu can still be regarded as the court of the Han family. As long as the royal family of Southern Shu is willing to kowtow and confess, the Emperor Chengde does not mind giving them wealth and honor for one or two generations, but it is different in the Northern Zhou Dynasty. The Yuwen family in the Northern Zhou Dynasty is not Han. Therefore Can Zhou can only be the mortal enemy of Da Jin forever.

Li Xin sighed lightly, bent over and said, "It's all cultivated by His Majesty, I'm ashamed—"

The Emperor Chengde laughed and said, "My cultivation requires you to be a man who can be made. Ye Ming's request for merit said that you killed three of them yourself, didn't you?"

"The servant is lucky—"

Emperor Chengde stood up from the imperial table, walked in front of Li Xin, and said with a smile: "It is already very remarkable to have this level when you first come to battle. You are a capable young man, so you are born to work in the court. His achievements are limitless, at least he will not be worse than Li Shen."

Speaking of this, the emperor of the Ji family said indifferently: "I have also heard from Lao Qi about what happened to you when you were a child. That person did something wrong. I have already sent someone to Yongzhou to repair your mother's tomb. , let the local government give her a good reputation, and she cannot be allowed to go underground after her death and suffer grievances."

Li Xin knelt down and kowtowed.

"Your Majesty's grace, I am deeply grateful!"

"Mother on behalf of the minister, thank Your Majesty—"

This sentence is sincere and sincere.

It has been more than half a year since Li Xin came to this world, and after more than half a year of dreaming back at midnight, Li Xin and the other Li Xin have long been indistinguishable from each other, and he also regards that poor woman in the countryside of Yongzhou as his mother.

It's a pity to say that after my mother died of illness, there was only a thin coffin, which was bought by my uncle with half his life savings. After the burial, there was only a small mound of earth on the mountain, and there was not even a tombstone.

After Li Xin had "savings" in the capital, he once thought about returning to Yongzhou to repair his mother's grave, but he still can't explain who his father is. After returning to the village, those hometown people may not dare to scold him in person. He might scold even worse behind his back.

After all, jealousy is jealous.

For this kind of thing, it is best to let the government and the imperial court come forward to rectify the poor woman's name.

Chengde Emperor smiled and patted Li Xin on the shoulder.

"Be good at doing things, you will have a good status in the future, and you will return to your hometown in good clothes, and you will be able to vomit all the suffering you suffered in the early years."

"The minister obeys the order..."

His Majesty the Emperor waved his hand.

"Okay, you go down."

"After going back, let that Shu man come into the palace, and I want to ask him something."

Li Xin paused, then spoke respectfully.

"Yes."

Chapter 200 Returning the Umbrella

This is the moody Son of Heaven.

One moment he was smiling at Li Xin, as if he wanted to reuse Li Xin, but the next moment he was still worried and wanted to see Mu Ying in person.

This is actually not a kind of character, but a method. As the Ninth Five-Year Sovereign, the emperor must be unpredictable, so that his subordinates can't guess his mind, so that he can deter his courtiers to a certain extent and make them grow old. Honestly.

If the emperor's thoughts are seen through by his subordinates, then this emperor will not last long.

Li Xin bowed slightly and exited Changle Palace.

After walking out of Changle Palace, Li Xin's back was covered with sweat.

During the conversation just now, his entire body was in a state of high concentration, like a bowstring that was stretched tight. Now that he has finally passed the test, he immediately exhaled a few long breaths, and his whole body relaxed.

Deceiving the emperor is really a technical job, because you don't know what the emperor knows, you can only guess based on your own thoughts, this kind of guessing is no different from gambling, if you say a wrong word, you will be killed.

For example, in the conversation between Li Xin and the Emperor Chengde just now, if Wang Mo of the Jinwei Battalion had confessed everything to the Emperor Chengde, then what Li Xin said just now was actually courting death.

Fortunately, Li Xin made the right bet.

He took a few deep breaths, and then slowly walked out of the palace.

It was the end of July, the rainiest season, the sky was covered with dark clouds, and there were thunderclaps from time to time, and after a while, bean-sized raindrops fell.

It was pouring rain.

When Li Xin ran to Yonganmen, he was already drenched. Fortunately, his relationship with the inner guard has eased now. After borrowing an umbrella from the inner guard, he opened the umbrella and walked towards Datongfang.

In the yard of Li Xin in Datongfang.

After seeing Li Xin coming back, Mu Ying breathed a long sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "It's good that you live, and I can't die if you live."

Li Xin put away the oiled paper umbrella, wiped the water on his body with a towel, and said flatly, "The Son of Heaven wants to see you."

"what?"

Mu Ying was taken aback: "You are back, what else does he see me for?"

"Watch your words."

Li Xin lowered his voice: "Most people around us are staring at us now. If you don't want to die, just be polite to Your Majesty!"

It is very disrespectful to call the emperor "he".

Mu Ying's expression was a little unsightly, and she whispered: "Your Majesty...what is Your Majesty asking me to do?"

"how could I know?"

Li Xin gave him a blank look, and said calmly: "It's okay. After you go, you can answer whatever he asks you. Just tell the truth. With your state, you can't tell lies in front of the emperor."

Yes, lying also needs to have a state. Ordinary people would be trembling when speaking in front of the emperor, let alone lying.

And this thing must not only be bold, but also thick-skinned, like Mu Ying, although she is very courageous, her eyes will flash when she tells a lie, even Li Xin can see it, let alone the emperor.

Muying himself doesn't have much information, he just came to exchange news with Li Xin under Li Xing's order. This point is not different from Li Xin's words just now, and there will be no problem if he speaks out.

Mu Ying took a deep breath and said, "Then I'm going?"

"and many more."

Mu Ying was overjoyed, turned her head and said with a smile: "I knew Captain Li was worried, do you want to go with me?"

Li Xin gave him a blank look, pointed at the oil-paper umbrella at the door and said, "I borrowed this umbrella from the inner guard of Yong'anmen, please return it to them for me along the way."

"........."

----------

This time, the Emperor Chengde was dealt with by Li Xin, but it did not mean that the matter had completely stopped. If Li Yan publicly impeached Li Xin during the court meeting, then this argument cannot be used to explain it.
