Unparalleled Concubine

"This is a great crime of ransacking the family!"

The old heavenly master lowered his head and said with a wry smile: "Master Li, Huimeng Pill is definitely not poisonous. The old man will show you how many pills you take. It doesn't matter. The late emperor has been unable to sleep at night since the seventh year of Taikang. I don't know how much time he spent in these three years." People gave medicine to the first emperor, according to Li Houye, then these people should be guilty, not my Longhushan family..."

"There are people in the group who are taking medicine, and they are all backed up in the Tai Hospital, but your Longhushan Huimeng Pill is not there."

Li Xin snorted.

"This one alone is enough to kill all of your Celestial Master's Mansion!"

The old master's face was ashen.

Indeed, this kind of thing is hard to explain. As long as someone wants their family to die, this one alone is enough to make his family robbed and beheaded. It is only to blame for the Heavenly Master's Mansion to come to Beijing and divination to the emperor. .

He had no choice but to bow his head deeply to Li Xin, and mournfully said, "Master Li, you also got my inheritance from Longhu Mountain..."

"My Heavenly Master's Mansion can bear this crime, but the orthodoxy of Longhu Mountain cannot be broken. Please, Lord Hou...raise your hand..."

Li Xin sat in his seat with a blank expression on his face.

"As a disciple of the Taoist sect, it is enough to practice alchemy and Taoism in the mountains with peace of mind. The Tianshi Mansion should not be involved in the affairs of the court."

"The old man has already regretted it."

The old celestial master's face was pale: "It's not because of the decline of the Taoist school these years, the old Taoist would not go to Beijing to divination for the emperor. Longhushan is one of the leaders of the Taoist school, and he wants to fight for a bit of luck for the Taoist school..."

Lord Jing'an snorted.

"The Marquis has already told the emperor about your entry into the alchemy, and the emperor was furious and made a decision himself."

After all, the old heavenly master is from Fangwai. Although he was at the critical point of life and death, he was not so afraid. He found a chair in the study, sat down slowly, and closed his eyes.

"Your Majesty, tell me..."

Li Xin glanced at the old man.

"Longhushan Celestial Master's Mansion will deprive the name of the Celestial Master. From now on, it is forbidden to walk around in the name of the Celestial Master. All properties of Longhushan in Beijing will be confiscated. From now on, Zhang's family in Longhushan will not be allowed to enter Beijing without an imperial decree."

After speaking, Li Xin glanced at the old man with a calm expression.

"Is the Tianshi Mansion convinced?"

Zhang Daoyuan sat on the chair, his eyes widened.

He is more than 80 years old this year. As the successor of Tianshi Mansion, he has wealth, fame, and family relationships. In addition, he has practiced for a lifetime. He has long been open to life and death. The reason for being so nervous is It is worrying about the lives of family members and the orthodoxy handed down from the ancestors.

Now, things have turned around, the court's punishment is raised high and lowered gently, even if he is an old man with a stick facing him, he feels ups and downs in his heart.

The old man took a long time to react before he stood up from his chair and bowed deeply towards the direction of the imperial city.

"Emperor Renjun also."

Emperor Yuanzhao's handling of this matter is indeed very benevolent. After all, this matter is related to his own father. If it is handled by another extreme young man, I am afraid that he will have to go to Tailing to take care of it. The first emperor was buried with him.

Lord Jing'an put his hands into his sleeves and looked at the old celestial master.

"Old Taoist priest, your family can leave Beijing early tomorrow morning. The imperial court's decree to deprive the title of celestial master will be delivered to Longhu Mountain after a while. From now on, the Zhang family will live in Longhu Mountain to practice Taoism. Don't come out to meddle in political affairs. gone."

He narrowed his eyes.

"Things in the court are too dangerous. Those of us who are officials are all doing things with our heads up. We are monks and can't afford to get involved."

Zhang Daoyuan smiled wryly, bowing to Li Xin again and again.

"Don't dare any more."

Chapter 847 Mrs. Li?

On February 27, the enthronement ceremony of Emperor Yuanzhao was officially held in the imperial city.

This is a major event that can only be encountered once in many years, and it is also a major event for the country. Since the death of Emperor Taikang, the court has been preparing for this event.

As early as a few days ago, high-ranking officials and nobles from all over the country who had the conditions to arrive in the capital, including clans in various places, had all arrived in the capital to watch the ceremony with the approval of the clan.

Even Yongle Square was quite lively.

Ten years ago, during the enthronement ceremony of Emperor Taikang, Li Xin was already on his way back to his hometown in Yongzhou, deliberately avoiding the limelight, but now at the enthronement ceremony of Emperor Yuanzhao, he is already hard to avoid in the court characters.

At this time, Li Xin, regardless of other identities, only has the status of a first-rank Taibao, his rank surpasses most officials in the court, and with the title of an emperor teacher, he is even qualified to preside over the enthronement. ceremony.

However, Li Xin is not a showy person. He didn't take on the next errand, but handed over the presiding work to the Ministry of Rites and the Shangshutai. The nine princesses who "promoted" to become the eldest princess, and the eldest daughter Li Shu, entered the palace to watch the ceremony together.

The etiquette of ascension to the throne is very cumbersome. The first step is to go to the Taimiao early in the morning to burn incense and worship the ancestors, then burn a sacrificial speech that has been written long ago, and then offer tribute to the ancestors, telling the ancestors that the emperor changed people.

After notifying the ancestors and ancestors, the next step is to tell the heaven and the earth, offering the emperor Tailao, and notifying the heavens that the son of the world has changed.

At this point, the etiquette of offering sacrifices to heaven is almost the same, and the next step is to accept the worship of all officials. After a few shouts of long live, the matter is settled.

Of course, this is just a rough outline, and there are still many details that I don't know, such as the hypocritical process of three requests and three speeches, so I don't need to go into details one by one.

When Li Xin brought his family into the palace, the emperor had already entered the Taimiao under the leadership of the Ministry of Rites and others, and the high altar in front of the Taimiao had already been set up, waiting for the emperor to burn incense and sacrifice to heaven after he came out of the Taimiao.

The five chancellors at Shangshutai, under the leadership of Zuo Xiang Shen Kuan, were also busy, and the busiest of them was the eunuch Xiao Zheng, who was the internal servant.

If he wants to stay in the palace, he has to please Empress Dowager Xie and Emperor Yuanzhao, and the enthronement ceremony is the best opportunity to show off, so the eunuch has been busy these few days. To do everything in the palace properly.

In comparison, Li Xin, the emperor's teacher, seemed much more idle. He brought his family to the palace to observe the ceremony on the day of the enthronement ceremony. Even when he arrived in the palace, he was still a spectator and did not participate Too much business.

For the safety of the enthronement ceremony, internal guards are strictly guarding inside and outside the palace city at this time. Li Xin even saw some Qingyi Qianniu guards patrolling inside and outside the palace city, but even now, he still has not seen a black-clothed guard. Habayashi Wei.

He sighed helplessly towards the Eldest Princess beside him.

"I haven't been in Habayashi for more than seven years, and the current Habayashi is managed by their Xie family. Even so, they still can't trust Habayashi."

At this time, it has been two or three months since the death of the emperor, and the grief of the nine princesses has also eased a lot. She pulled Li Xin by the sleeve and gave him a blank look.

"You also know that you have been away from Habayashi for seven years, and now there is not much left of your old department in Habayashi, so what do you still care about Habayashi?"

Lord Jing'an said with emotion: "After all, I am from Habayashi Guard..."

When Li Xin first entered the capital, he entered the Habayashi Guard under the recommendation of the captain of the Habayashi Guard, Zhang Zou, and then stayed in the Habayashi Guard for almost three years. Renchen palace changes.

If it weren't for Habayashi Wei, he would never have made it to where he is today, so even though he has been named Marquis and General, he has always had feelings for Habayashi Wei.

After the change of Renchen Palace that year, some generals from Habayashi Guard were scattered all over the capital. These people have always respected Li Xin, and they would send some things to the Jing'an Hou Mansion during the New Year and holidays, even if Li Xin was killed. When they were sent to the prison of Dali Temple, some of them also came to the Hou Mansion to ask about the situation.

Now Habayashi Wei has become the lowest among the three forbidden guards in the capital, even far behind the rising star Qian Niuwei. Most of the reason is because of him. If Habayashi Wei is an ordinary yamen, his current status can help. Some, but Habayashi guards are the emperor's pro-army, and no one can interfere except the emperor, so Li Xin has always been a little sorry for Habayashi guards.

At this time, surrounded by a group of officials, the Son of Heaven finally came out from the Ancestral Temple. The Ninth Princess and Li Xin stood together among the nobles. She stretched out her hand and gently tugged at Li Xin's sleeve.
