Unparalleled Concubine

The prince glanced at Li Xin, and then said in a childish voice, "Uncle Li, you... have turned black..."

After going there for more than a year, most of the time was spent fighting, and he stayed in the mountains for more than two months, so Lord Jing'an inevitably got a little tanned.

In fact, he is not only black a little, but a lot of black.

Li Xin couldn't help laughing, and said, "I was out in the sun, so it turned dark."

The prince pulled Li Xin's sleeve with one hand, and scratched his head with the other.

"Uncle Li, my father said... I want to see you..."

The little prince finally remembered what Emperor Taikang had said to him before he came, and said word by word: "Let you go back to the palace with me."

Li Xin didn't answer, but looked up at Zhang Qu.

Lord Haoran sighed.

"I know that Marquis Li has worked hard all the way, and I should have gone back to rest for a few days, but His Majesty did have such a will. I ask Marquis Li to work hard and go back to the palace with His Royal Highness..."

Li Xin stood up from the ground, smiled wryly at Zhang Qu, and said, "Mr. Haoran, you have also seen that the official is not only described as sloppy, but also his clothes have not been washed for several days. I am afraid that he will be shocked when he enters the palace like this." Holy driver."

Marching is nothing else, even taking a bath is a delusion, let alone doing laundry. There is not a single woman in the barracks, and basically no one can wear clean clothes.

But the clothes on Li Xin had been washed, um, Xiao Zhao put them on for him.

The reason why he excused it was because he wanted to go home before entering the palace.

Lord Haoran patted Li Xin on the shoulder, and said softly: "Your Majesty has ordered that once Lord Hou returns to Beijing, he will immediately call Lord Hou into the palace. At this time, His Majesty has already held a banquet for Lord Hou in the palace to welcome him. gone."

"As for clothes and the like, Master Hou doesn't have to care about these details. At this moment, no one will say anything about Master Hou."

Zhang Qu is the number one civil servant in the court.

He opened his mouth to speak, and Li Xin couldn't say anything more, so he could only lower his head slightly and sighed, "Since that's the case, I can only lose my manners."

Seeing that Li Xin agreed, the little prince quickly took Li Xin by the sleeve and walked towards the carriage in the palace.

They had just taken two steps when they heard a heavy voice behind them.

"Master Li went to the palace to face the Holy Spirit, and our Ministry of Criminal Justice will take these people away after committing crimes."

Li Xin looked back and saw a middle-aged man in his fifties bending slightly towards him.

Minister of the Ministry of punishment, silent.

From the official to the sixth minister, he is already a minister of the second rank, and he is only one step away from the real minister Zaifu. The servants of the six ministers and ministers are all big figures who can enter the palace to see the emperor at any time. Come to think of it, Li Xin is at the same level as this Shen Shangshu.

After hearing this sentence, Li Xin was not surprised. He brought back a lot of criminals, and naturally some Yamen would come to ask him for someone.

He turned his head back and clasped his fists at Shen Shen, and said with a smile: "I wonder which prisoner Shen Shangshu wants?"

Seeing that Li Xin was so easy to talk to, Shen Shen also breathed a sigh of relief.

Although he didn't need to be afraid of Li Xin, but at this time, the Marquis of Jing'an had a lot of credit for him, and no one could touch his bad luck at this time.

"The main criminals in the Southwest are all the responsibility of the Ministry of Punishment."

Li Xin said with a smile: "Very well, Shen Shangshu will take His Highness King Qin back."

Shen Mo frowned, and just about to speak, he heard Li Xin continue.

"Although it stands to reason, His Royal Highness King Qin should transfer it to the Zongfu."

Shen Shangshu took a deep breath, and continued: "Then, Lord Li, please hand over the leader of the Pingnan Army bandit to our Ministry of Punishment."

"Li Shen" was already dead, so even though everyone knew who Li Shen was brought back to the capital, he was still replaced by "Pingnan Army Bandit Leader" in official documents.

Lord Jing'an frowned.

"May I ask who is the leader of the Pingnan army bandits?"

Shen Shangshu said in a deep voice, "Pingnan Marquis Li Shen."

Li Xin laughed dumbfoundedly.

"Shangshu Shen must have made a mistake. Marquis Pingnan Li Shen has been dead for almost two years."

Chapter 611 The Pillar of the Country (Happy New Year's Day to Everyone!!!)

Neither Li Shen nor Ji Ku can be dealt with through conventional channels. This is the consensus between Li Xin and Emperor Taikang. It's not good to intervene.

Although the identities of these two people are sensitive, whoever takes over will be in trouble, but there are still some old-fashioned people in the court who want to follow the procedure, and there are two normal judges.

So Li Xin had to withstand the pressure of these people.

It's okay for Ji Ku to say that the blood of the Tian family, the eldest son of the first emperor, even the Zongfu is probably not willing to take over this kind of thing, but for Li Shen, the Ministry of Criminal Justice is still very interested. After all, if such a national thief can be handled by the Ministry of Criminal Justice , can be regarded as a small credit.

So after hearing Li Xin's words, Shen Shangshu frowned.

He lowered his head and said, "Master Li, even if the leader of the Pingnan Army bandit is not Li Shen, Marquis of Pingnan, he should be handed over to the Ministry of Punishment."

The smile on Li Xin's face slowly disappeared.

He glanced at Shen Shangshu, and finally said slowly: "In that case, then the Ministry of Punishment will come and grab it."

"Deng Feng."

This cronies of Habayashi Wei who used to report back to Beijing for Li Xin had already returned to Li Xin's side.

"I am humble!"

"You take Habayashi Guard and take all the captives brought back from the southwest to the Jing'an Hou Mansion. Without my order, no one is allowed to mention anyone. If someone robs you, Habayashi Guard does not have to stay behind. Everything in the capital is I'm in charge!"

This sentence is harsh.

Even Ye Cheng didn't dare to say that his subordinates could do anything with other yamen in the capital, but the guards under Li Xin's command were, in a sense, the Emperor's pro-army, and they had the duty to protect the capital. , and no one would dare to fight them.

Deng Feng said in a deep voice: "I obey the order!"

As he said that, he led the guards of the Habayashi, surrounded Ji Ku, Li Shen, Xiao Zhao Fang and others, and walked slowly towards Jing'anhou's mansion.

Li Xin smiled slightly at Shen Shangshu.

"If Master Shangshu refuses to accept it, you can ask people from the Ministry of Justice to go to my Jing'an Hou Mansion to pick him up. If there are not enough people from the Ministry of Justice, then let people from the Sixth Ministry go together. If you want to come to Habayashi Guard, you can also handle it."

Shen Shangshu was silent, then looked up at Li Xin, and said indifferently: "Master Li, don't forget that you are no longer in charge of the Habayashi Guard. You are the general of the Imperial Army, but you can order the Habayashi Guard at will. Excuse me. Is this Yubayashi Guards a close army of His Majesty, or a close army of the Jing'an Marquis Mansion?"

Li Xin smiled and said, "Good question."
