Unparalleled Concubine

Looking up to face the emperor is suspected of assassinating the king, so any courtier should lower his head when facing the emperor, but now the emperor himself asked, and Li Xin had no choice but to stand up and raise his head slowly.

The emperor in front of him is not the bright yellow in Li Xinxin's eyes, but is wearing light blue clothes. He looks about 50 years old, and his hair has lost some white, but his beard is still black. Very spiritual.

When Li Xin looked at the Emperor Chengde, the Emperor Chengde was also looking at Li Xin. After looking up and down, the Emperor Chengde clapped his hands and smiled: "You and Li Shen were [-] to [-]% similar when you were young. It’s just that he’s a little shorter than when he was a teenager.”

Emperor Chengde grew up with Li Shen, Marquis of Pingnan when he was a child. Until 18 years ago, before he took the throne as emperor, the relationship between the two people was extraordinary. Hou, it seems that the two monarchs and ministers have not seen each other for three or four years.

Li Xin took a deep breath.

It stands to reason that the person I was facing was the emperor of Dajin. Before the "God" appeared, he was the emperor of Dajin. What the emperor said, he should respond to, but Li Xin inherited the "bad luck" "Child" memory, in his bones, he was extremely disgusted with that scumbag father. Hearing this, he immediately clasped his fists, bowed his head and said, "Your Majesty, it's not surprising that people are similar."

Emperor Chengde froze for a moment, then sat back on his soft couch, and said calmly: "It seems that you have a lot of resentment towards Li Shen."

If Li Ye or the Seventh Prince had asked this question, Li Xin would probably have kept silent, but now he was facing the current emperor, and the emperor had to answer the question.

Li Xin bowed his head and said: "Your Majesty, I have just entered the capital for more than a month, and I don't know who Li Shen is."

Hearing this "no big or small" sentence, the Emperor Chengde felt a little angry, and was about to yell at him, but hesitated for a while, didn't say it, just shook his head: "Forget it, I don't bother to meddle in the family affairs of your Li family. And, Li Shen should go back to the capital this year, when the time comes, the two of you will meet and solve it yourself."

Li Xin let out a long sigh of relief.

This emperor is reasonable. If he is unreasonable and forces himself to go to the Marquis of Pingnan to recognize his relatives, then with Li Xin's current ability, there is no room for resistance.

Li Xin knelt on the ground, bowed his head and said, "Humble post, thank you for your understanding."

Emperor Chengde narrowed his eyes, and said calmly: "You write poems to mock me, and I don't care about you anymore. I don't bother to care about your life experience. Now I ask you, how did you meet my nine princesses?"

Li Xin's forehead was sweating.

He knew the little nine girl because of the seventh prince, Ji Wen, but the emperor obviously didn't know that the seventh prince had friendship with him, so he couldn't directly tell the seventh prince...

If His Royal Highness Wei Wang is confessed, it may lead to the behind-the-scenes promoters of the "big-character poster", and I am afraid that even greater troubles will arise at that time.

Li Xin lowered his head and said in a deep voice: "Return to Your Majesty, I don't recognize His Highness Ninth Princess..."

Emperor Chengde fell silent.

The princess should have concealed her identity when she left the palace, so how should I explain to this stunned young man now, who is the ninth princess?

Could it be that you use your hand to show him what your daughter looks like?

As the emperor, he would naturally not be able to do such unseemly things. Emperor Chengde coughed and said in a deep voice, "It's just a little girl who loves to eat. The people in the Tianmu prison said that Princess Jiu went to Your yard, it is impossible for you not to recognize her."

Li Xin suddenly realized: "So it's Miss Xiaojiu."

The young man lowered his head, rolled his eyes, and said in a respectful voice: "Your Majesty, when I was at home, I liked to make some novel food, and then it spread, and Miss Jiu went to the home of I, and I ate it several times. pause."

Speaking of this, Li Xin bowed his head and smiled wryly: "Your Majesty, a low-ranking grassroots, although I didn't know the identity of Princess Nine before, I can tell that Miss Nine is either rich or noble, and I have never treated Miss Nine in any way. Your Majesty, please be aware of your thoughts..."

Emperor Chengde accepted this explanation. After all, his nine girl really liked to eat it. He took a sip of the tea on the table and said calmly: "Let's put this matter here for the time being. Let me ask you, why did you join Yu Lin Wei?"

Li Xin answered this question without hesitation.

"Returning to Your Majesty, the purpose of entering Beijing is to contribute a little bit to the Great Jin Dynasty. On that day, Captain Zhang Zou of Habayashi Guard invited me to join Habayashi Guard. Without even thinking about it, I nodded and agreed."

At this point, the emperor of Chengde basically knew what he wanted to know. At this time, the conversation between the two of them went on for almost a stick of incense, and there were still many memorials sent by Shangshutai that had not been reviewed. The emperor of Chengde waved his hand immediately : "Okay, as long as you can talk, let's stop here today."

After all, the emperor turned his head to look at Chen Ju, and said casually: "What kind of position is this kid in the Habayashi Guard?"

Chen Ju said in a low voice: "He's a team deputy. He has only been in Habayashi Guard for more than half a month, and this position is not low."

"Lower."

Emperor Chengde said indifferently: "Say hello to Ye Lin later, and ask him to make this kid a school captain."

If it is another yamen official, how much promotion must be checked by the Ministry of Officials or the Ministry of War, and there is no way to ignore the rules, but Habayashi Guard and Neiwei are all directly under the emperor's pro-army. In this pro-army, the emperor said If so, it can be directly used as a transfer order.

Chen Ju nodded: "The old slave knows."

Emperor Chengde glanced at Li Xin again, and said earnestly: "I know, you may have suffered a lot after being homeless for so many years, and some resentment is natural, but after all, blood is thicker than water. Waiting for your father to come back After Beijing, you have to have a good talk with him."

Li Xinxin was a little angry, but his face remained unchanged, and he bowed his head and said respectfully: "I obey you."

Emperor Chengde hesitated for a while, and then continued: "The Li family has few descendants. If you return to the Li family, it is not impossible for me to marry Xiaojiu to you. You should think about the pros and cons of it."

Li Xin knelt on the ground, bowed his head and said, "I know the humble job."

Emperor Chengde waved his hand.

"Forget it, you go down."

"Yes."

Li Xin bent over and retreated.

It is reasonable to say that it should be a happy event, but Li Xinxin didn't have much joy. He knew very well that the reason why he was promoted was because the Chengde Emperor was acting for the future emperor. Pingnanhou in the capital compensated himself.

Li Xin didn't want this compensation, but he couldn't disobey the emperor face to face.

But no matter what others say or who said it, the bottom line in Li's confidence will not change, because Li Xin from the former Li family has froze to death, no matter what, he will never enter Pingnanhou in his life The government treats people as sons.

What's more, now Pingnanhou's mansion has formed an enmity with him.

Li Xin withdrew from Changle Palace, his face sinking like water.

Chapter 77 The Way of the World

After coming out of the palace, Li Xin returned to Yonganmen to replace Hou Jingde who was on duty in the cold wind. Hou Jingde was not polite, patted Li Xin on the shoulder, left Yonganmen, and went home to sleep.

The next morning, under the leadership of Li Xin, this team of Habayashi guards handed over to the inner guards smoothly without any trouble.

Since entering the Habayashi Guard for more than half a month, Li Xin has not been very well received in the Habayashi Guard, but after this fight at the entrance of the Yong'an Gate, the Habayashi Guards have truly accepted Li Xin and regarded Li Xin as one of their own.

After all, fighting together should be the second fastest way for men to increase their friendship.

After returning to the Habayashi Guard camp, the veteran of the Habayashi Guard who was the first to taunt the inner guard in front of the Yong'an Gate was the first to find Li Xin, and fell to his knees in front of Li Xin with a plop.

"Deputy Li, yesterday was a humble job, I'm sorry..."

The young man in front of him could have been handed over to the inner guards yesterday, but this young captain resisted the tremendous pressure and chose to confront the inner guards head-on.

Now, the corner of the youth team deputy's mouth still has the scars from yesterday's fight.

Li Xinxin was thinking about what happened in the palace yesterday, and after reaching out to help the man in his early 30s up, he said casually: "It's a good thing to admit your mistakes, but you still have to be punished. You provoked the inner guard yesterday and almost caused trouble. If you are in serious trouble, you will be fined twenty lashes, and you will receive it yourself."

In this case, if you are stricter, you can even directly expel Habayashi, but Li Xin wants to gain a foothold in Habayashi now, so naturally he must first win some people's hearts.

Compared with dismissal or fine, a few whips can be said to be the lightest punishment, this man couldn't stop bowing to Li Xin to thank him.
