Unparalleled Concubine

"Okay, maybe you haven't been in the palace for a long time, I've seen it here, let's go to the empress's place to have a look, the old lady has always missed you very much."

The Eldest Princess wiped her tears with her sleeve, bowed her head and gave a "hmm", got up and said, "Brother, take a good rest, I'll go to Kunde Palace to see the Queen Mother first."

The emperor waved his hand feebly.

"You go."

The eldest princess slowly exited Weiyang Palace, Xiao Zheng sent her out personally, when Xiao Zheng came back, he found that the emperor was still sitting with a blank expression on his face.

"Li Xin is also waiting outside?"

Xiao Zheng bowed his head and said, "Go back to Your Majesty, Lord Li is waiting outside."

"You let him in."

Xiao Zheng nodded, walked to the bottom of the steps of Weiyang Palace, bowed to Li Xin and said, "Master Li, Your Majesty welcomes you."

Li Xin was not surprised by the emperor's summoning, he smiled and nodded: "Thank you, Mr. Xiao."

……

After a while, Lord Jing'an was already sitting opposite the emperor.

The emperor got up and drank a cup of hot tea under the service of two court ladies, then he let out a long breath and looked at Li Xin.

"You let Xiao Jiu come to see me, I want to thank you."

Li Xin shook his head, lowered his head and said, "It's not the minister who asked the Eldest Princess to come to see Your Majesty, but the Eldest Princess herself wants to come to see Your Majesty."

The Son of Heaven coughed a few times, his voice a little hoarse.

"Thank you anyway."

Seeing him like this, Li Xin also sighed: "Your Majesty, be careful."

"I'm fine."

After coughing a few more times, the Son of Heaven said in a deep voice: "A few days ago, I asked you to re-take the job in the Right Battalion of the Forbidden Army. You should know what I mean."

Li Xin bowed his head and said, "Your Majesty wants the minister to assist the crown prince to ascend the throne."

The emperor was expressionless: "Originally, you, Li Chang'an, backed the court and you, and raised private soldiers in the southwest, and plotted against you. In any case, this job should not have fallen on your head, but I have to admit that my Taikang Dynasty , half of your credit."

Having said that, the emperor let out a long sigh.

"I... don't care about things in the Southwest with you."

In fact, up to now, the Son of Heaven has actually had nothing to do with Southwest. Otherwise, with the temperament of the emperor of the Ji family, how could he not care about it?

Emperor Wu and Emperor Chengde, two generations of emperors, have been haggling with the Pingnan Houfu for more than 30 years!

Li Xin got up, bowed to the emperor and said, "I thank you, Your Majesty, for your forgiveness."

The emperor sat on the dragon couch with a blank expression on his face.

"The Right Battalion of the Forbidden Army, how is your grasp?"

Li Xin bowed his head and said: "I... after receiving the imperial edict, I ran to the right camp of the forbidden army many times. Now I dare not say that it is like a finger, but it is not a problem to mobilize the right battalion of the forbidden army."

The emperor said so many words in one breath, but felt a dull pain in his head. He rubbed his forehead with his hands, and his voice was hoarse: "You are the prince's teacher, and the prince has a reputation. With you controlling the imperial army, you can guarantee the prince's peace." The succession will be smooth, and there will be no mistakes."

This is after the arrangement.

Lord Jing'an raised his head to look at the emperor, sighed and said, "Your Majesty may not need to be like this. The situation in the capital today is far less chaotic than it was ten years ago. If Your Majesty is really... the crown prince will definitely succeed."

"If Your Majesty is worried about your subject, you can hand over your errands in the Right Battalion of the Forbidden Army in exchange for your Majesty's peace of mind."

The emperor closed his eyes.

"I won't feel at ease when you, Li Changan, hand over the imperial army, and you are unwilling to do something that can really make me feel at ease."

This sentence refers to the prescription for Li Xin to hand over Tianlei.

Lord Jing'an pretended not to understand, bowed his head and remained silent.

The emperor opened his eyes, glanced at Li Xin, and sighed helplessly.

"Chang'an, how have I treated you these years?"

Li Xin frowned and thought about it, then raised his head and replied seriously: "Not bad."

To be honest, the emperor has treated Li Xin pretty well these years. He has never crossed rivers and demolished bridges. You must know that there are countless emperors in history who have crossed rivers and demolished bridges. A little mean, but overall not bad.

For example, although he restricted Li Xin in terms of real power, he was quite generous in terms of official positions. From the Minister of the Ministry of War to the Minister of the Ministry of War, and then to the Prince Taibao, in terms of official rank, he was already extremely honorable. Pet.

That's why Li Xin said "not bad".

After the emperor heard the phrase "not bad", he laughed at himself: "In the entire Taikang Dynasty, I treated you Li Chang'an the most kindly. I wrote a letter of remonstrance for two years, saying that I abolished the public because of personal interests, and said that the Jin Dynasty has never had such a young first-rank courtier."

Hearing this sentence, Li Xin smiled.

"Your Majesty might as well throw these people to the southwest and let them fight the Pingnan Army back then."

The Son of Heaven looked at Li Xin, his face became serious.

"Chang'an, in the past two years, there have indeed been many quarrels and conflicts between you and me, but no matter what, at the end of the day, I still believed in you and handed over the crown prince to you. "

The emperor's voice was hoarse, but his eyes were sincere.

"Now, I'm about to die..."

He looked at Li Xin.

"Can you...can you let me go with some peace of mind?"

Li Xin silently raised his head and glanced at the Son of Heaven, then lowered his head and cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty wants me to do anything, just ask me to do it, and I am duty-bound to do what I can do."

The emperor laughed at himself: "I want you to hand over Tianlei, but you probably won't."

His Majesty the Great Jin Emperor took a deep breath.

"So, I want you to swear in front of me."

Lord Jing'an looked up at the Son of Heaven.

The emperor took a deep breath and gritted his teeth.

"I want you to swear, your whole life..."
