Unparalleled Concubine

"That's why Your Majesty has to treat Prince Qin's mansion more favorably. After a long time, it will naturally change the people's views on this matter."

Speaking of this, Li Xin lowered his head and said, "And your Majesty can send someone to publicize the "truth" of this matter. After a long time, the matter will naturally become known to the world."

"If there are really people who spread rumors and gossip, His Majesty will directly let the imperial guards or the Jingzhao Mansion arrest them. In this way, the matter can be calmed down within two or three months at most."

The Son of Heaven bowed his head, thought over what Li Xin said from the beginning to the end, and finally nodded slowly: "What Chang'an said is reasonable, then I will act accordingly."

Ever since Li Xin entered Beijing and produced a big-character poster, the capital now pays more attention to the importance of "public opinion" than before. Post something on.

Emperor Taikang also gradually understood that public opinion can be guided and used.

The two talked about some specific details, and the emperor stood up from under the gazebo, and then said to Li Xin: "Changan, I have been out of the palace for a while, and I should go back to the palace to deal with political affairs now. I will leave it to you to deal with the affairs of Prince Qin's Mansion, and the people of Habayashi Guard are also at your disposal, no matter what, try to minimize the influence of this matter."

Lord Jing'an bowed his head respectfully.

"Sir, follow His Majesty's will."

The Son of Heaven left with his hands behind his back, Li Xin followed a few steps, and then slowly said: "Your Majesty, it seems that Li Ye's family shouldn't all die..."

The emperor didn't seem to hear what he said, and walked away.

Chapter 632

Li Xin, the Marquis of Jing'an, can decide whether to save Li Ye's family or not. He will be directly locked in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice. If the emperor does not let go, Li Xin will have no other way to go except to rob the prison or the law field.

Of course he wanted to save that Li Fuzun who had taken care of him, but this kind of thing is just a matter of trying, it is impossible and not worth Li Xin's life.

When he said this to the emperor just now, he had already done his part. As for the future result, it was not something Li Xin could decide.

Emperor Taikang turned his head and left, and left the mess of King Qin's Mansion on Li Xin's head. This is a matter that requires effort. He thought for a while under the pavilion, and then walked towards the mourning hall of King Qin's Mansion.

At this time, there was a lot of crying in the mourning hall, several sons of His Royal Highness King Qin knelt in front of the coffin, weeping.

The former His Royal Highness was a womanizer, and there were many concubines in his house, so there were still many women crying one after another. Li Xin walked up to a woman in her 30s, Bending slightly: "Princess Qin."

From the Northern Zhou Dynasty to the Great Jin Dynasty, in the past, when princes and princes married wives, they usually preferred to choose a good match from the aristocratic family, especially from the Northern Zhou family. However, starting from the Chengde emperor, the Great Jin began to deliberately suppress the Northern Zhou family. When the eldest son of the emperor married a wife, he did not choose a wife from the family, but chose a woman from the official family in the capital of Jin Dynasty.

Although His Royal Highness King Qin is lustful, he has always respected his first wife very much, and the relationship between the two is also very good. He traveled thousands of miles from Southwest Africa to return to the capital, part of the reason was to meet this first wife.

Concubine Qin was dressed in white filial piety. She was lowering her head to wipe her tears. After hearing Li Xin's voice, she suddenly raised her head to look at Li Xin, and then lowered her head again: "The survivor has seen Lord Li."

Li Xin returned the gift, and said in a deep voice, "Princess, do you understand the current situation?"

Concubine Qin was dejected, and said in a low voice: "I also know that the struggle to seize the heirloom is dangerous, but the prince has already gone..."

Li Xin shook his head, looked around, saw that there were not many people nearby, and then said slowly: "I was entrusted by His Royal Highness Qin Wang, to take care of the family of Qin Wangfu as much as possible."

"The battle for succession can be treated as nothing if His Majesty King Qin's life is filled in. Today's His Majesty is lenient. If it were someone who was more narrow-minded, there would be no chickens and dogs left in King Qin's mansion at this time." .”

Speaking of this, Li Xin paused, and said: "Now, His Majesty's side has been confirmed. His Royal Highness Qin Wang has never rebelled, and I also dragged someone to speak for Qin Wangfu in front of His Majesty. In the past two years, there should be no There are many things, but Princess Qin must have a basic understanding of the situation in her heart."

Having said this, Lord Jing'an was already serious.

"That is, although the Prince Qin's Mansion will still be the Prince Qin's Mansion in the future, it is not the former Prince's Mansion."

"After His Royal Highness Qin was enshrined, the Qin Palace must keep a low profile. It is best for people in the mansion not to even leave the house. The lower the profile, the better. It is best for people in the capital to forget that such a family exists."

"The people in the capital forgot,...that person may not remember it."

Li Xin paused, then continued: "If I remember correctly, Prince Qin's son should be almost ten years old this year. You should wait for a few years, and when the son becomes an adult, you should write a letter as soon as possible to request to leave the capital and become a vassal after leaving the capital. , your family is considered safe."

Since the fat prince committed suicide according to Li Xin's request and saved Li Xin a huge trouble, then Li Xin also followed the previous agreement with the fat man to help the Qin Palace as much as possible.

But what he can do now is to help out with ideas. It is impossible for him to intervene in it. After all, this is a family matter of the Tian family, and it is one of the most sensitive things in the world. Outsiders are not allowed to intervene in it. .

Concubine Qin bowed deeply to Li Xin, and said with tears: "During the few days when the lord came back, I told my concubine that Marquis Li wanted to help us. At that time, I was skeptical, but now I see Marquis Li Gaoyi."

Li Xin shook his head and sighed, "It's all what I should do."

"Your Majesty has ordered that I will handle the follow-up matters of the Qin Palace. If the princess has anything to do, you can send someone to me. If you can help, Li Xin is obliged to do so."

Princess Qin thanked her with tears.

Li Xin bowed his hands and returned the gift, and slowly exited the mourning hall.

He didn't want to be involved too much in the affairs here. Although Emperor Taikang gave him the trouble, his family members will take care of the fat man's funeral. Li Xin just needs to see that there are no troubles.

Before leaving Prince Qin's Mansion, Li Xin ordered the imperial guards guarding here that all people entering and leaving the Prince Qin's Mansion must have their identities checked and recorded.

Because of the emperor's decree, Li Xin can now move the Yulin guards at will without worrying about being impeached, so he transferred [-] Yulin guards and set up defenses in the Qin Palace to make sure that nothing will happen to the Qin Palace.

In fact, this fat man is not only His Royal Highness King Qin, but also Li Xin's brother-in-law. Logically speaking, Li Xin should inform Princess Qinghe to come and have a look at his mansion after he dies, but this matter is too sensitive, and Li Xin is not too sure If you wanted Princess Jiu to get involved, you simply didn't notify her.

After arranging these things, Li Xin left from Prince Qin's Mansion, but instead of going home, he went to the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice.

The official office of the Ministry of Punishment is in the imperial city, but the large prison of the Ministry of Punishment is not there. After all, it is not reasonable to have a large prison in the imperial city. Therefore, the large prison of the Ministry of Punishment is located in Liushufang next to Yonglefang, directly opposite the thousand-year-old willow tree in Liushufang.

In comparison, Yongle Square is certainly the most noble place in the capital, but it is considered a wealthy and powerful residential area. There are not many people and it is not lively and not too prosperous. The truly prosperous places in the capital are Mingde Square, Liushu Square, Dachengfang and other ten or so workshops are crowded with people every time there is trouble.

Li Xin rode a horse and quickly rushed from Yonglefang to Liushufang. It didn't take long before he saw the most famous big willow tree in the capital.

This willow tree is as thick as four or five people hugging each other. It is rumored that it was planted by an emperor thousands of years ago. The specifics are unknown, but because of the various legends about this big willow tree, it has now become a must-see for outsiders when they come to the capital. Resort.

Even now that it is evening, there are still many people burning incense and offering sacrifices to the big willow tree. Some are seeking wealth, some are seeking marriage, and more are seeking fame.

Li Xin didn't look at the big willow tree, but directly looked at the prison of the Ministry of Justice next to the big willow tree.

Li Ye is locked here.

To be honest, he is not very familiar with Li Ye, at best he just knew him. The reason why he wanted to save Li Ye was because when "Li Shen" was burned to death last year, no one in the capital dared to go to Pingnan Hou. Only he did not shy away from the house, and took his son to help "Li Shen" take care of the funeral.

This former Jing Zhaoyin was a relatively standard scholar, not very rigid, otherwise he would not be able to be Jing Zhaoyin, but at the same time he was not so tactful, he would not hide from what he should do.

It was this lack of tact that made Li Xin feel that this old man was very nice.

Thinking of this, Li Xin walked directly towards the prison of the Ministry of Justice, and slowly opened his mouth to the two gatekeepers.

"I'm here to visit the elders."

Chapter 633

A felon suspected of treason must not be able to visit the prison according to the rules. If a relative came to visit the prison, they would even be arrested and beheaded together. However, Li Xin's identity, although he could not save Li Ye, he should have a look. questionable.

The prisons of the Ministry of Criminal Justice are generally used to detain repeat offenders or officials who have committed crimes in the court, so the people who come here to visit the prison are usually not ordinary people. After hearing what Li Xin said, someone immediately came up to question him.

"Who are you visiting?"

Li Xin tied his horse to a pillar next to the prison of the Ministry of Punishment, and said, "Original Jingzhao Yin and Li Ye."
