Unparalleled Concubine

Li Xin nodded, and walked out of the carriage with little Ah Han in his arms.

The little girl was a light sleeper, and there was too much movement, so she woke up immediately, and then saw the four big characters "Jing'an Houfu" in front of her.

Li Xin smiled and put her on the ground.

"Ah Han, we're home."

Xiao Ahan has been away from home for more than a year, and she is still a little strange to see the Hou's Mansion, but after all, it is the place where she was born and raised, so she quickly cheered and jumped into the Jing'an Hou's Mansion.

The eldest princess also hugged Li Ping and got off the carriage.

In addition, Chen Shiliu and his daughter-in-law, Hui Niang, each led a child to the gate of Jing'an Hou Mansion.

Li Xin walked up to Madam Hui, bowed his head slightly, "Thank you, Madam Hui, take care of my children."

Hui Niang's face turned red, and she almost fell to her knees on the ground.

"Hou Ye's words are to destroy the slave family, this is the duty of the slave family..."

She used to be a maid in Jing'an Hou's mansion, and was married to Chen Shiliu by Li Xin as a matchmaker. She spent half of her life in Jing'an Hou's mansion, and she had a deep affection for the master's family.

Seeing that she was speechless, Li Xin smiled.

"It's all at the door of the house. If you have something to say, go in and say it."

As he spoke, he bent over and picked up the youngest daughter of Chen Shiliu's family, and walked into Jing'anhou's mansion.

For a long time before, he and Chen 16 were the only ones who lived in this huge Marquis Mansion, except for some servants in the Jing'an Marquis Mansion. They couldn't hear the usual noises of the children playing, which seemed rather strange. deserted.

Now, the family members and children of the Hou's Mansion have all returned to the capital, back to Jing'an Hou's Mansion, and soon the Hou's Mansion will be lively.

The deserted house suddenly gained popularity.

Chapter 840

Originally, on the first day of the New Year's change, the imperial court should announce the new year name, but because Emperor Taikang passed away in the twelfth lunar month, many things were suppressed at once, and the Ministry of Rites was too busy, so there was no time.

It wasn't until the sixteenth day of the twelfth lunar month, after the end of the New Year's holiday, that several Lang Zhongshi Lang from the Ministry of Rites got together, read through an unknown number of ancient books, and gave a year name of "Yuanzhao", which means that one yuan begins again, and heaven and earth come together. Zhao Zhao.

When Emperor Taikang changed his Yuan Dynasty, the Ministry of Rites gave him many years of good news, but he was not satisfied. The word Taikang was given to him by Li Xin, but now the new emperor is still a young man, and he is not like him. His father seized the throne in a coup, so he didn't have much right to speak at the moment, so he accepted the reign name of Yuan Zhao.

The reign titles of the emperors of the Great Jin Dynasty are generally only used by one emperor, and can only be changed midway unless there is a particularly serious change. For example, because Emperor Wu ruled the world, there were two reign titles, Chuigong and Shengong, and Emperor Chengde was in charge of the court. In the past 20 years, there has only been one reign title of Chengde.

If there is no accident, the word Yuanzhao will accompany the new emperor for the rest of his life, until he sleeps in the emperor's mausoleum.

This year is the first year of Yuanzhao.

The Taikang Dynasty, which lasted for ten years, finally came to an end.

Time passed quickly, and in February of the first year of Yuanzhao, the wild flowers on the roadside began to sprout, and everything sprouted.

At this time, two or three months have passed since the new emperor ascended the throne, because Li Xin and the Ye family are on the side of the emperor. During these two or three months, the capital can be said to be calm, if there is any change , that is the four ministers set in the will, and now everyone's home is overcrowded, with people visiting almost all the time.

The imperial enthronement ceremony also confirmed the time, which was set on February 27.

Shangshutai, the yamen of the Ministry of Rites, and Xiao Zheng and others in the palace were all busy preparing for the grand ceremony.

The main purpose of the enthronement ceremony is to offer sacrifices to heaven and earth, confirm the identity of the "son of heaven", and establish orthodoxy.

The whole court was busy, some people were busy with the succession of the new monarch, some people were busy running up and down, running around, trying to occupy a place in the new dynasty.

Some of them followed the route of Xie's family, the mother of the emperor, some followed the route of the four assistant ministers, and some followed the route of Jing'anhoufu.

The Jing'an Hou's Mansion, which had been deserted for a while, also had a busy scene during this time.

But at this time, Lord Jing'an didn't pay attention to the affairs in the court, and he didn't have the mind to pay attention to these speculators who came to the door.

Because, Xie Dai, who was sent to Longhushan, escorted the people from Longhushan back to Beijing!

The lineage of Longhushan began to prosper from Tianshi Zhang. After Zhang Tianshi, the Zhang family of Longhushan was conferred as Tianshi for generations. It is easier for the court but not easy for Tianshi.

During the ten years of the Taikang Dynasty, people from Longhu Mountain had been active in the capital, but every year around the New Year's Eve, people from the Zhang family would return to Longhu Mountain to worship their ancestors. Therefore, when Emperor Taikang died, Longhu None of Shanzhang's family is in the capital!

Later, it was Li Xin and Empress Dowager Xie who mentioned that Empress Dowager Xie sent the Habayashi guards to Longhu Mountain to fetch people. After more than two months, Xie Dai led people to break into Longhu Mountain brazenly, and finally took Zhang's family home. The people brought back to the capital!

Speaking of which, Li Xin's "professional role" is actually Minister of the Ministry of War. He should not have been in charge of this matter, but since the new emperor came to the throne, he has not been to the Ministry of War once in the past two months.

Xie Jun, the former servant of the Ministry of War, has already retired and returned to his hometown. The two servants of the Ministry of War are Ye Lin, Marquis of Ningling, and Qian Sheng, the servant.

Although Qian Sheng is also from a noble family and a family of scholars, he is naturally inferior to Ye Lin in terms of power. Therefore, Li Xin did not go to the Ministry of War, but actually handed over the Ministry of War to the fourth master of the Ye family. After all, Ye Lin It is unlikely that he will have the opportunity to lead the army in the future. He has been in the Ministry of War for a few years, and he will have a good chance to be the Minister of the Ministry of War in the future. Li Xin can be regarded as letting him experience it in advance.

And he, the Minister of the Ministry of War who has nothing to do, has written a memorial to the imperial court, and is specifically responsible for investigating the matter of Longhushan.

Today's Li Xin has removed the word "prince" in front of the crown prince's Taibao. He is a genuine first-rank Taibao, a serious emperor's teacher, and he holds the Imperial Army in his hand. Even if the Empress Dowager Xie wants to be polite to him Out of anger, the old men at Shangshutai would naturally not offend Li Xin on such a matter that did not involve their core interests, so the document was quickly issued, and Li Xin was in charge of investigating the Longhushan matter.

So, when Xie Dai and others were about to return to Beijing, Lord Jing'an was already waiting at the Habayashi Guard camp.

At noon that day, Xie Dai and his entourage approached a thousand feather guards, and finally entered the city from the west gate, escorted about seven or eight carriages, and arrived at the gate of the Habayashi guard camp.

The expressionless Lord Jing'an was wearing a black robe, sitting at the gate of the Habayashi Guard camp and waiting.

Xie Dai had sharp eyes, and before he got close, he saw Li Xin's figure. He quickly got off his horse, walked quickly to Li Xin, bowed his head deeply and clasped his fists.

"Your officer, I have seen the Tai Bao."

Li Xin got up from the chair, then took out a document from his wide sleeve, and handed it to Xie Dai.

"This is a document from Shangshutai, which has been stamped by several ministers. The matter of Longhushan will be taken over by this Marquis."

Xie Dai naturally knew what Shangshutai meant today, he took the document and looked at it, and returned it with both hands.

"Go back to the Taibao. This time, I went to Longhushan and brought all 53 members of the Zhang family's direct lineage from Longhushan back to the capital. They are all in the carriage behind. If the Taibao wants to mention them, they can take them away at any time."

Li Xin nodded and said, "Escort them to my residence."

Xie Dai was a little stunned.

He looked up at Li Xin, and said in a low voice: "Master Hou, according to the rules, you should be detained in the Ministry of Punishment, or in the prison of Dali Temple, or at the Jingzhao Mansion... Your Hou Mansion does not seem to be suitable. ..."

What he said meant that the Jing'an Hou Mansion had no judicial power.

Judicial power in the Jin Dynasty is generally possessed by the Sanfa Division and the local yamen. The Sanfa Division is Yushitai, Dali Temple, and the Ministry of Punishment, and the local yamen in the capital is Jingzhaofu.

Apart from these places, any other yamen cannot interrogate prisoners, not even the emperor's personal army like the Sanjinwei, let alone the private mansions like the Jing'an Hou Mansion that are not established by the imperial court.

Li Xin looked calm.

"These people can't be tried by the three courts. You just send them to my house. I'll take care of anything."
