Unparalleled Concubine

The emperor became interested and said, "Chang'an, what do you mean, if we directly announce that Li Shen is dead, then even if Li Shen appears in southern Xinjiang, it will become a fake?"

"More than that."

Li Xin lowered his eyebrows and said: "After the funeral, if Li Shen is still in the capital, he will think that the imperial court has given up on hunting him. When the time comes, we will arrange more plainclothes people in the eight gates of the capital, and the interrogation will be stricter. Maybe we can catch him."

After thinking for a while, the emperor nodded firmly.

"Then do as you said in Chang'an. Early tomorrow morning, I will announce at the court meeting that Li Shen, Marquis of Pingnan, had flooded his home. After a month of rescue, he still died unfortunately."

Lord Jing'an looked calm.

"At that time, I can go and offer incense to him."

The emperor laughed.

"I have Chang'an, and I feel like a fish in water. Now that the imperial army has fallen into my hands, there is nothing to be afraid of. Tomorrow, I will send people from the Sanju Department to arrest those Northern Zhou families!"

The case of falsely reporting the disaster has been tried for a month, and it has been dragged on for a month. Until now, Emperor Taikang finally made up his mind and started to turn the table.

To be precise, it is just lifting the tablecloth at present.

This world, which has been peaceful for 30 years, is finally about to become chaotic.

Chapter 429 Li Shen "died"

The emperor asked Li Xin to have dinner in the palace, but Li Xin didn't refuse, and sat down with the emperor generously.

For ordinary courtiers, it was not easy to meet the emperor alone, but for Li Xin, it was commonplace for him to enter the palace as if he were going home.

But this is not something to be proud of.

A companion is like a tiger, and if you get too close to this moody tiger, no one knows what will happen in the future, but what is certain is that at least for now, this tiger is not dangerous to Li Xin.

There is a high platform in Weiyang Palace, where you can see a lot of scenery in the palace. Emperor Taikang likes this high platform very much recently, so this meal is set here. It is not particularly gorgeous, just a low table, seven or eight small dishes .

And a small altar of Zhu Rongjiu.

Sitting at the bottom, Li Xin stretched out his hand to pour wine for Emperor Taikang, and then poured a glass for himself, the two of them touched each other and drank it down in one gulp.

After drinking, Emperor Taikang glanced at the direction of Changle Palace, and sighed faintly.

"In a blink of an eye, it has been almost a year since we started last year."

When they started last year, it was the twelfth month of the 18th year of Chengde, and now it has entered the middle of October of the first year of Taikang, ten months have passed since the thrilling palace change.

Ten months have passed, and the people and things in the capital have undergone earth-shattering changes. Emperor Taikang is no longer the original His Royal Highness King Wei, and Li Xin has also changed from a small Habayashi Weiyouro general to what he is today. An important figure in the Jin army.

Neither of them are who they used to be.

Li Xin smiled and filled the wine for the emperor.

"Your Majesty has worked hard this year. In comparison, the minister is much more lazy. In the past ten months, seven of them have been hiding in his hometown."

"You are very thoughtful."

The emperor drank a cup by himself and sighed: "So you always think too much. If it weren't for you, Chang'an, I would never have been able to sit in this position anyway. It's not too much for you in this capital city. How can you let me go?" Is it the reason to hide outside for more than half a year?"

"It's really not hiding."

Li wryly smiled and said: "The minister had a miserable life in his early years, and he and his mother depended on each other for life. Later, when they became prosperous, it is inevitable that they want to go back to their hometown to see their mother."

As he spoke, he let out a long sigh.

"The most regrettable thing in my life is that my uncle and mother are gone. Otherwise, I can bring them both to the capital to enjoy the blessings."

The emperor poured a glass of wine for Li Xin, and the two touched each other.

"Stop talking about these unhappy things, come and drink."

Li Xin had a drink with him.

"I'm not having a good time either."

The emperor drank a few glasses of wine and got a little over the top.

"Since I ascended the throne, I haven't even had a good night's sleep. After moving out of Changle Palace, I haven't dared to go back and look at it once. I always feel that my father is looking at me in Changle Palace..."

"Your Majesty is overthinking."

Li Xin bowed his head and said, "Since the late emperor left that edict, it means that His Majesty acquiesced in becoming the late emperor. Otherwise, with the sageness of the late emperor, we would not even have the chance to do it."

Emperor Taikang was silent for a while, then took a sip by himself and let out a long breath.

"Hearing what you said, Chang'an, I feel better."

The monarch and his subjects clinked their glasses again.

The Son of Heaven said in a deep voice: "Since I got to know Chang'an, I have encountered countless troubles, and every time I turned my bad luck into good luck. I hope this time, it can be the same."

He is talking about things in southern Xinjiang.

Li Xin chuckled: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, evil can outshine good."

"I have issued an edict to Ye Ming to let him return to Beijing."

While drinking, the emperor suddenly said such a sentence.

Li Xin was stunned for a moment, then bowed his head and said, "Your Majesty is wise."

This incident was already in his expectation, but at this time, he had to pretend that he didn't know anything.

Two people, the monarch and the minister, exchanged cups and cups on the high platform of Weiyang Palace.

Eunuch Xiao is waiting on the sidelines.

This scene was actually very common a year ago. At that time, Li Xin often drank in Wei Wangfu, but now that everyone's identities are different, this kind of situation rarely happens again.

At least for now, the two of them drank happily.

………………

In the afternoon, Li Xin returned to Jing'an Hou Mansion with some drunkenness. Zhong Xiaoxiao ran out all the way to support her elder brother. After helping Li Xin to the seat, she ran to Li Xin with short legs Xin fetched water to wash his face, very busy.

After washing his face with a smile, Li Xin reached out and touched her head.

"Where's your sister Chuqi, isn't she with you?"

Zhong Xiaoxiao shook her head: "In the early days, my sister went back with her mother and said that the family still has autumn harvest food to dry, so they can't live in the city forever."
