Unparalleled Concubine

As he spoke, he dropped the carving knife in his hand, got up and went back to the backyard. Not long after, he was dressed in a dark black robe with a white tiger embroidered with white thread on the front of the robe.

General court officials, as long as they have quality and rank, the court will give three sets of clothes, one set of ordinary clothes, one set of court clothes, and one set of formal clothes.

The three sets of clothes can all be regarded as official clothes, but the application occasions are different.

The dress Li Xin is wearing now is the dress he wore when he was a general in Habayashi Guard. Li Xin likes this dress very much, after all, there is a big white tiger on the front, which is very majestic.

After changing into his clothes, Li Xin said to Xiao Zheng calmly, "Grandpa, shall we go?"

Xiao Zheng glanced at Li Xin's Habayashi Guard uniform, and nodded with a complicated expression: "Master Hou, please, the sedan chair is already waiting outside."

Li Xin walked out of the gate of his house expressionlessly. Two purple sedan chairs had been waiting for a long time at the gate. After he and Xiao Zheng sat on them, the sedan chairs went straight into Miyagi from Yong'an Gate, and walked all the way towards Weiyang Palace.

At the gate of Weiyang Palace, the sedan chair stopped.

Xiao Zheng was the first to get off the sedan chair, and led Li Xin into the main hall of Weiyang Palace. In the main hall, the low tables had been set up, and the banquet in the palace would be held here in the evening. He said: "Master Hou, the banquet will not start until evening, do you want to meet His Majesty now?"

Li Xin found an inconspicuous corner and sat down, with a calm voice: "I won't go to face the saint."

"Not surprisingly, His Majesty will probably be very unhappy today, so I won't ask for trouble. Your Majesty invited me here, and I will just sit here and go home after dinner."

Xiao Zheng glanced at Li Xin, sighed slightly, turned and left, and went to see the emperor.

Weiyang Palace is brightly lit and resplendent.

At this time, outside the capital city, a postman with one person and two riders, with information from the southwest in his arms, was rushing towards the capital city.

This New Year's Eve in the eighth year of Taikang is destined to be an uneasy New Year's Eve.

Chapter 776 What a Li family!

Li Xin and the emperor, it can be said that it was a cold war, or it could be said that they had a confrontation for half a month. This time the emperor asked Xiao Zheng to personally invite Li Xin into the palace. Naturally, he wanted to communicate with Li Xin. The response to this was lukewarm.

He is now very clear that it is basically impossible to use gentle means to resolve the conflict between two people. What Li Xin has to do right now is to jump out of the chessboard of the Great Jin Dynasty Hall and go to another Play against the emperor on the chessboard.

To put it bluntly, if we only talk about playing chess, or the ability to control the situation, today's son is much inferior to Li Xinliang, but the strength of the two people is also very different. Taking chess as an example, Li Xin's side is less than the emperor's. There are even two elephants and one taxi.

He has only one soldier and five pawns far in the southwest.

The remaining scholar is the strength Li Xin cultivated secretly in the past five years, barely able to protect him in secret.

On the other hand, on the side of the emperor, not only the chess pieces are complete, but also there are many soldiers and generals. What's more, the "general" on Li Xin's side is now next to the emperor, and he is closely guarded by the emperor.

To be honest, if it wasn't for the hidden weapon of gunpowder, even if it was a great grievance, Li Xin could only imitate the old man Ye at this time, gritted his teeth and swallowed, and obediently bowed his head in the capital, but with Gunpowder, he can do many things.

Li Xin did not go to see the emperor, nor did the emperor take the initiative to come to the main hall to see Li Xin. In a blink of an eye, it was already afternoon and towards evening, some important ministers of the Taiwan Ministry had entered the main hall of Weiyang Palace one after another, found their seats and sat down When they got down, Li Xin was sitting at the back near the door. When these people passed by the door, they couldn't help but glance at Li Xin, their eyelids trembling.

This Marquis Li is a big problem now. In the past, they would naturally have to go up and make a show of politeness. But now no one knows when this Marquis Li will be imprisoned again. They dare not fight with Li Xin. He didn't dare to offend Li Xin when he spoke, so he could only keep silent, found his own seat, and sat down quietly.

Among them, a 40-year-old Minister of the Ministry of Industry was the most unlucky. He walked up to Li Xin in a desperate manner, and touched his nose in embarrassment.

"Li...shangshu, the position you are sitting in seems to belong to a subordinate..."

In the New Year's Eve banquet, in addition to the emperor's relatives and relatives, the ministers only invited the Sangong Jiuqing, Shangshutai, Yushitai's principals, and six ministers and ministers. The positions of each person were determined in advance. Among them, the Ministry of Industry has the lowest status, and the Minister of the Ministry of Industry can only sit next to the door, and this seat by the door is coincidentally occupied by Li Xin.

With a blank expression on his face, Li Xin pointed to the low table at the front on the right, and said calmly, "Let's switch seats, you can sit with me."

For the past five years, Li Xin has been in the capital, and he also attends the New Year's Eve banquet every year, so he naturally knows where he should sit.

The servant of the Ministry of Industry was sweating when he heard the words, but he didn't dare not listen to Li Xin's words, so he could only walk to Li Xin's seat with a embarrassed face, and sat down bravely.

After all the officials arrived, the emperor arrived soon.

This Emperor Taikang, no longer dressed casually as usual, this time he wore a serious emperor's crown and a jade belt around his waist. Because the clothes were too cumbersome, he even needed a few palace servants to support him to keep Keep the majesty of the emperor.

After the emperor sat on the throne, he first glanced at the servants in the hall. After seeing Li Xin sitting at the door, the emperor hesitated a little, and finally said with a smile: "My prince Taibao, why is he sitting like this?" Far, come and sit near."

All the officials looked sideways, and at the same time looked at Li Xin who was sitting in the corner.

It seems that this Marquis of Jing'an has not lost his holy family. Most of the things in the past few days were just nonsense...

The servant of the Ministry of Industry sitting in Li Xin's position stood up immediately as if his butt was burned, and ran to Li Xin with a look on his face that was about to cry.

"Master Li..."

Li Xin then stood up, sat down generously next to the first low table on the right side of the emperor, and sat down peacefully.

The emperor nodded and smiled at the ministers.

"Tonight is New Year's Eve, and tomorrow is the Spring Festival. One yuan will start again, and everything will be renewed. This year, thanks to the blessing of our ancestors and the help of all the nobles, it can be said that the world is peaceful, Haiyan and Heqing."

Having said that, he raised his wine glass and said with a smile, "I respect you all."

All the big men of the court immediately stood up, raised their wine glasses, and toasted to the emperor.

"All thanks to His Majesty's holiness, only the Great Jin can lead to prosperity and peace for the people, His Majesty's eternal sage, the blessings of the common people..."

After a flattering meal, this glass of wine just entered my stomach.

Li Xin got up without saying a word. After quietly drinking a glass of wine, he sat back in his original position.

Next, there will be a long period of applause, in which many bigwigs take turns to fight, and after a few glasses of wine, Emperor Taikang will become an unprecedented holy emperor, a benevolent emperor, comparable to Emperor Wu, and surpassed Emperor Chengde.

This kind of flattering atmosphere has existed since ancient times, but the atmosphere of the Taikang Dynasty is far better than that of the Chengde Dynasty. In the final analysis, it is because today's people love to listen.

The emperor loves to listen, so naturally many people will talk about it.

Li Xin'an sat at the low table and poured himself a drink.

At this time, the eunuch in red hurriedly entered the hall. He walked up the imperial steps on the right, walked in small steps, walked in front of the emperor, and bent down by the ear of the emperor.

His voice was low.

"Your Majesty...it's not good..."

Xiao Zheng swallowed, took another deep breath, gritted his teeth and said, "Southwest Muying...rebelled!"

The Son of Heaven was eating, but when he heard this, he looked back at Xiao Zheng with a blank expression: "Didn't he rebel a long time ago?"

Eunuch Xiao smiled wryly, "This time, it's a real rebellion!"

"Seven days ago, Muying issued a notice saying that the imperial court sent troops to harass the Hanzhou government for no reason. Afterwards, the Hanzhou government ignored the previous suspicions and was willing to recruit security and surrender, but the imperial court still remained unmoved, which made the people of Hanzhou very sad..."

Speaking of this, he looked up at his Majesty, and continued: "And... Mu Ying said that they found the royal family of the old Shu, so they no longer serve me, the Great Jin, and want to restore the country and become the Han..."

The emperor finally put down the chopsticks in his hand, and looked back at Xiao Zheng.

"and then?"
