Unparalleled Concubine

Xiao Zheng lowered his head and didn't say anything more.

While talking, the two had already arrived in the study, Xiao Zheng went to report, and then led Li Xin into the inner room of the study, Li Xin tidied up his court clothes, walked in, and bowed his head to the emperor.

"Your Majesty, Li Xin, have met His Majesty."

The emperor raised his head and said with a smile: "There is no need to be polite, I have been waiting for you all morning, Xiao Zheng moved a chair for Chang'an, and sat down to talk."

Xiao Zheng obediently moved a grand master's chair over, Li Xin was not too polite, just sat down so generously.

Presumably it was because the deposed prince had burped, Emperor Taikang was in a good mood, he smiled at Li Xin and said, "Is there nothing wrong with Prince Qin's mansion?"

Li Xin shook his head, and said, "There is nothing wrong, but I heard the report from the Habayashi guards. The people from the Zongfu wanted to enter the Qin Palace yesterday, but were stopped by the Habayashi guards. What does your majesty mean?"

The Zongfu is the yamen formed by the elders of the royal family, responsible for all internal affairs of the Ji family. As long as people in the general clan are not rebellious, other yamen, including the Sanfa Division, have no right to intervene. The Zongfu is responsible for rewards and punishments.

The emperor frowned and thought for a while, then shook his head and said: "Say hello to the people of Yulin Guard, don't let the people of the Zongfu interfere in the affairs of the Qin Palace, the Zongfu will send them a letter to explain the matter of King Qin, the Qin Palace is still You, Changan, are in charge."

Li Xin nodded and said: "So, I understand."

The emperor hesitated for a moment, and asked, "Li Shen..."

Li Xin said in a deep voice: "Since Li Shen is dead, his affairs have nothing to do with me."

The emperor nodded.

"That's the end of the matter."

The emperor showed a smile on his face, and said, "Chang'an, you have never been willing to come to the imperial city, why did you enter the palace early today to see me?"

Li Xin lowered his head slightly, then stood up from the chair, walked to the red carpet in front of the emperor, and knelt down respectfully.

"Your Majesty, when I enter the palace today, I have two requests."

The Son of Heaven frowned, got up from his seat, stepped forward to support Li Xin, and said, "Chang'an, what are you doing? You and my brother, if you have anything to discuss, just talk about it. No matter what, you say, I If I can do it, I promise you.”

Li Xin didn't get up, but still lowered his head, and said: "The first thing, please stay at home for a few years, and entrust the errands of the Ministry of War to the two servants."

Emperor Taikang smiled bitterly and said, "Why is this?"

"I have been in the limelight for the past two years, and it is too easy to attract the red eyes of outsiders. I have thought about it carefully these days. I am still young and have not accumulated enough background. I want to ask you to rest at home for a few years, so as to avoid the limelight. Second, study at home to accumulate some knowledge.”

Speaking of this, Li Xin said with a wry smile: "I'm not afraid of your Majesty's jokes. I was born in a peasant family. I haven't read all the books I have been educated so far. If I am in charge of the Ministry of War, I am afraid that I will be laughed at by those civil servants."

The Ministry of War is also a civil office.

The emperor couldn't help but laugh.

"My Marquis Jing'an has made great achievements even if he doesn't study. That's all, let's not talk about this matter for the time being. Chang'an, if you talk about the second thing, I will consider it as well."

Li Xin took a deep breath and knelt down.

"Your Majesty, I went to the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice yesterday to see the family of Jing Zhaoyin and Li Ye."

The Son of Heaven did not speak, but looked at Li Xin quietly.

After a pause, Li Xin continued, "Your Majesty, the Pingnan army's rebellion has nothing to do with Li Ye's family."

"I know."

The Son of Heaven said indifferently: "It's just that someone has to be responsible for this matter, otherwise the world will not have a vigilance, and in the future everyone can be the Pingnan Army. How can my country be stable?"

Li Xin kowtowed again, and said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, even if Li Ye's family rebelled and deserved to die, but Li Ye's grandchildren, the oldest of whom are only eight or nine years old, can't they participate in the rebellion?"

"Please Your Majesty, for the sake of Li Ye's conscientiousness as an official in the two dynasties, spare the lives of these little babies."

Chapter 637 Chaoxian Emperor rushes Emperor Wu!

In the past, when Li Xin and the emperor got along, the two of them had discussions most of the time. Basically, what Li Xin said to the emperor, the emperor would agree to it. This time, it was the first time that Li Xin went seriously. Ask the emperor to do things.

The Son of Heaven stood where he was, silent for a while, and then stretched out his hand to help Li Xin up.

"You and my brother, there is no need to do this. No matter what you say, I will confirm that you are it."

Li Xin took a deep breath and stood up.

The emperor pulled him to one side of the chair and sat down, then asked Xiao Zheng to move another chair, and the two sat face to face. The emperor looked at Li Xin and asked, "Chang'an, you want to save Li Ye's family. Is it because of... the Li family?"

In terms of blood, Li Ye is Li Xin's cousin, and Li Ye's grandsons are all Li Xin's cousins. Now that Li Xin is so persistent in saving people, the emperor will naturally think of this aspect.

Li Xin was silent for a while, and finally bowed his head slightly.

"Your Majesty, in this world, there are not only blood relations and entanglements of interests, but also right and wrong, and pure friendship. When I was living in the capital in my early years, I was fortunate to meet many noble people. You are one, Your Majesty, and Master Ye is one. The former Jing Zhaoyin is barely one of them. At the beginning, everyone in the capital respected Pingnan Hou's Mansion as if avoiding the god of plague. Only the Li Mansion Lord took the initiative to welcome him and help Li Shen deal with his funeral. The minister respected Li Ye , not because of blood relatives, but because of respect for this honesty."

"In the capital, there are few honest people, and even fewer can be officials in the court. I know that Li Ye's family may not be able to get rid of the crime, so I can only pray to His Majesty for mercy and leave a little blood for their family."

Speaking of this, Li Xin stood up and bowed deeply to the emperor: "On behalf of Li Ye, thank you for your kindness."

The emperor sat on the chair, frowned and thought for a long time, and then sighed: "Chang'an, I can't see through you at all. Sometimes you are as sophisticated as an old fox, but sometimes you are like a young man. To be attached is not right or wrong."

Li Xin smiled.

"Your Majesty, I think it's a good thing to be sophisticated, but it's not necessarily a good thing. If you behave in a sophisticated way all the time, and judge people and things in terms of profit and loss, then you will add a lot of anger."

"I'm not so unfathomable. What I have done in the past few years, all I want is to ask myself when I dream back in the middle of the night, so that I can be ashamed of my heart."

The emperor waved his hand and signaled Li Xin to sit down.

He let out a long sigh, and said, "Chang'an, you can have a clear conscience, but I can't."

"In the past few years, I have often dreamed about my father..."

Speaking of this, the emperor didn't go on.

The two of them knew each other well, no matter what the emperor Chengde left in the past, they led troops to break into the palace and rebelled, which was a real conspiracy. This point can naturally be erased in the Taikang Dynasty, and no one would dare I mentioned it, but when Emperor Taikang goes into the earth, in the history books in the future, no matter what, he will not be able to escape that pen like a blade.

Li Xin said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, there are many things that cannot be changed, but you can try your best to restore them. If your Majesty's reputation will last forever, far surpassing the previous emperor and even comparable to Emperor Wu, then not only this dynasty, but also future generations, Your Majesty The brilliance of light is enough to cover up some flaws."

Li Xin's words are sincere. After all, there are two living examples in another world. Zhu Siguaman copied and killed too many people. It is known that His Majesty Li Er is a glorious emperor through the ages and a heavenly khan, but few people criticize him for the change of Xuanwu Gate.

This is a very good way. As long as Emperor Taikang does well enough, even if future generations know about the Renchen Palace Change, they will not say that he is a traitor, but that he has done a good job.

The emperor smiled bitterly and said, "It's easy for you to say."

"Emperor Wu is divine, literary and sage, and he ruled the world with a peaceful country. What a majestic and magnificent strategy. How can I compare with him?"

"Don't talk about Emperor Wu, just talk about the first emperor, who is also a sage king who is hard to see in a hundred years. It is not easy for me to be able to keep the success of the Chengde dynasty. How can we talk about far victory?"

Li Xin lowered his head, with a smile on his face: "Your Majesty belittled himself. During the Chengde Dynasty, when the Southwest was separated, he only respected the court and did not submit to it. This is a problem that the former emperor did not solve in the past 20 years. Now His Majesty only ascends the throne. In two or three years, the ills of the Southwest have been wiped out, and for this alone, in the history books of later generations, His Majesty's achievements are not inferior to those of the late Emperor."
