Unparalleled Concubine

Li Xin bowed slightly, indicating that he understood.

He slowly exited Weiyang Palace.

The emperor hesitated for a moment, and finally said: "Chang'an..."

Li Xin stopped.

The Son of Heaven continued.

"I... as the emperor, there are some things I can't help myself and have to do. I also have my own difficulties."

Li Xin nodded slightly, and slowly exited Weiyang Palace.

Sitting on the throne in the study, the Son of Heaven looked at Li Xin's back and sighed helplessly.

His face turned pale, and he coughed violently.

The little eunuchs who were waiting at the side immediately surrounded him and handed the emperor a pill. After the emperor closed his eyes and swallowed it with water, his complexion gradually improved.

After a long time, the Son of Heaven finally recovered. After a moment of silence, he asked slowly, "Has Xiao Zheng returned?"

Just now, Xiao Zheng was sent by him to Zhaoling to check whether Li Shen was dead or not. However, Zhaoling is [-] or [-] miles away from the capital, so it is naturally impossible for Xiao Zheng to come back now.

The eunuch on the side bowed his head respectfully.

"Return to Your Majesty, the Grand Duke has not yet returned to the palace."

The emperor nodded.

"I'm tired, go back to the bedroom and rest."

So, a group of eunuchs immediately brought the sedan chair and waited for the emperor to sit on it.

The emperor sat in the sedan chair, closed his eyes and thought for a while, and then gave orders.

"After Xiao Zheng returns to the palace, let him come to see me as soon as possible."

Chapter 780 Where to Go?

The long New Year's Eve has finally passed.

Early the next morning, that is, the first day of the ninth year of Taikang, the inner guards and Qianniu guards who had surrounded Jing'anhou's mansion for more than half a month finally got an order to withdraw from Jing'anhou's mansion. The prison was withdrawn as soon as it was withdrawn, but Qianniuwei's Zhonglang General Xie Jing still brought something to the Jing'an Hou Mansion to make amends, which can be regarded as an apology to Li Xin.

But Li Xin didn't see him.

At this time, the storm on the surface had calmed down, but the waves in the dark part of the capital were actually more turbulent. Li Xin was in the center of the vortex, and he had to be careful with every step, so he didn't have the time to deal with the sophistication of the world in the capital.

Besides, to put it bluntly, although Xie Jing is the wife and brother of the Son of Heaven and a son of a wealthy family, at this time, regardless of his status or status, he can't touch Li Xin's level.

However, on the first day of the Lunar New Year, the afternoon of the first day when the Jing'an Hou Mansion was "unblocked", a middle-aged man in a white robe stood at the gate of the Jing'an Hou Mansion and watched for a while, then sighed slightly, shook his head and walked towards Passed the main entrance of Jing'an Hou Mansion.

At the main entrance, the concierge of the Hou's Mansion didn't raise his head, but opened his mouth to chase people away.

"The Hou Mansion closed its doors to thank guests, please come back another day."

The white-clothed scholar smiled slightly: "Do you even want to catch up with me?"

The gatekeeper looked up and said pleasantly: "So it's Mr. Zhao... the county lord is here, so I'll go and report to Lord Hou."

The person who came was naturally Zhao Jia, the current magistrate of Liyang County.

He grew up in Ye's family since he was a child, but after joining Li Xin, his family moved to Jing'an Hou Mansion for several years, and the concierge of the Hou Mansion naturally recognized him.

Counting the time, it has been half a year since he went out to be the magistrate of the Marquis of Jing'an. For the past six months, he has lived in the Liyang County Yamen. He heard that Li Xin had returned to Beijing a few days ago, so he wanted to go to the city. Gathered with Li Xin, but then the Jing'an Hou Mansion was surrounded, Zhao Jia realized that something was wrong, and has been paying attention to the movements of the Jing'an Hou Mansion.

The Qianniu Guards and the inner guards who had sealed off the Hou Mansion for more than half a month today were all withdrawn, but Zhao Jia, who was cautious by nature, still waited for a long time until the afternoon before visiting.

After being notified by the concierge, Zhao Jia successfully entered the Jing'an Hou Mansion. In the backyard, he saw Lord Li, who was dressed in blue, holding a sharp blue sword in his hand. He was dancing the sword in the backyard. Under Xin's waving, the blade of the sword bends, showing strength, shining under the winter sun.

Zhao Jia walked over, clapped his hands and praised, "Master Hou's kung fu has improved a lot compared to the previous years."

Hearing this, Li Xin retracted the somewhat heavy Qingpheasant Sword into its sheath, and gave Zhao Jia a blank look.

"You're a scholar, how can you understand martial arts? That's not how you flatter."

Zhao Jia sat down under the pavilion and said with a smile, "You can tell by looking at the momentum."

Li Xin wiped the sweat from his forehead, sat down opposite Zhao Jia very naturally, wiped his sweat, and said, "Why did you come to my place? At this time, a smart person like you should know how to avoid suspicion." It is."

"If I can avoid suspicion, I will naturally avoid suspicion."

Zhao Jia pointed to his nose with a wry smile: "But I have lived in the Hou's Mansion for many years, so how can I avoid suspicion? I couldn't get in the Hou's Mansion a few days ago, but I can come in today, so I came to ask Lord Hou. What the hell happened."

Li Xin didn't directly answer this question, but asked with a smile: "Brother You'an, how has he been doing as the county magistrate for the past six months?"

"Alright."

Zhao Jia sighed: "Anyway, in Liyang, it takes less thought than in the capital, and it's not so tiring."

Liyang is a county under the jurisdiction of Jingzhao Prefecture, which is not far from the capital. Many of the magistrates of these counties under the jurisdiction of Jingzhao Prefecture are resident in the capital. Only the county magistrate Zhao Jia, who has been in Liyang for half a year, has never returned to Beijing once. .

As he said that, he looked at Li Xin and said helplessly, "Master Hou, you should tell me directly what happened, otherwise one day I stayed in Liyang well, and suddenly my head fell to the ground and I don't know why. "

Li Xin blinked at him, and said with a smile: "Brother You'an is so exaggerated, you and I are gentlemen, even if something happens to me, the court will not involve you."

Zhao Jia snorted.

"I'm afraid that by then, I won't even have a place to bury my bones!"

At this time, the servants of the Hou Mansion had already brought up the tea. Li Xin poured a cup of hot tea for Zhao Jia. Seeing his serious face, he stopped joking with him and said while drinking tea, "It's not that big of a deal. The thing is that Muying raised the flag to rebel and restored the country in the southwest."

Zhao Jia was drinking tea, but when he heard that he spit out hot tea, the county lord stared at Li Xin with wide eyes, dumbfounded.

"Master Hou, you... what did you say?"

Li Xin gave this guy a white look.

"I said Muying raised the flag to rebel."

Zhao Jia tried hard to accept it for a long time before he digested the news. After a long time, he looked around, and after seeing no one around, he looked at Li Xin quietly.

"Muying's rebellion, what's the difference between you and Hou Ye who rebelled..."

"The difference is huge."

Li Xin looked calm.

"Mu Ying rebelled on behalf of Cheng Han back then, not for me, and he was restored to become a Han. Even if he succeeded, he would just take it to a corner of the southwest. It's not a major event that will change the world."
