Unparalleled Concubine

He is the prince of the Taikang Dynasty, and he was raised as a prince since he was a child. He is not unaware of the fact that Pei Jin led the army to attack the Haozhou capital in the eighth year of Taikang and returned in a disastrous defeat.

Moreover, before the funeral, the late emperor had talked with him in detail for a long time, so he must have talked to him about the Southwest.

The original words of the first emperor to Emperor Yuanzhao were to try not to let Li Xin leave the capital.

Li Xin was stunned at first when he heard this, and then he laughed dumbly: "Your Majesty misunderstood, this minister is not angry with the court because of what happened a few days ago, but I really should go back to my hometown, otherwise not only will I feel sorry, but the parents and elders should also say The minister has forgotten his origin."

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, the matter of the previous ban on the transfer of troops has passed. Your Majesty has handled it very well. I have no dissatisfaction with the imperial court."

Emperor Yuanzhao let out a long sigh.

"Teacher, if you leave, the student will be alone in the capital. It will be a little scary."

"Don't be afraid of them."

Li Xin squinted his eyes and said with a smile: "Your Majesty can take control of the inner guards now. As for the Qianniu Guards and the Habayashi Guards, they are all in the hands of the descendants, and they are all of one mind with His Majesty. If the capital is not honest , or if you can’t get along with His Majesty, His Majesty will directly use the three imperial guards to kill people, and if you don’t kill people, you will not be able to build your prestige.”

"In the early years, the late emperor also killed a lot of people to secure the throne."

Emperor Yuanzhao lowered his head and said, "Teacher's instruction, I have written it down."

He looked up at Li Xin.

"Is aunt going with the teacher?"

Li Xin nodded: "The dog is still young, so he can't leave his mother, so we can only go back together."

The emperor asked again: "When will the teacher leave?"

"If the imperial court approves, pack some things tomorrow and leave early the morning after tomorrow."

The emperor sighed again.

"Then when the time comes, I'll go see the teacher off."

Chapter 872

If Emperor Taikang was alive, he could still use coercive means to keep Li Xin in the capital, but Emperor Yuanzhao could not. He did not have the capital to completely turn against Li Xin. Beijing.

On the morning of the third day, three carriages from Jing'an Hou's Mansion came out from the back door of the Hou's Mansion and headed towards the south gate of the capital.

Ten years ago when Li Xin returned to his hometown, except for the hundreds of Habayashi guards with him, he could be considered alone. A pair of sons and daughters, plus Zhong Xiaoxiao and Chen Shiliu, all went out of Beijing with Li Xin, and only Chen Shiliu's daughter-in-law Hui Niang was left in the capital to look after the house.

When they were in Yongle Square, the sun was dimly lit, and when they arrived at the south gate of the capital, the sun had already risen from the east.

A black and yellow chariot has been waiting for a long time at the gate of the South City Gate.

Chen Shiliu, who was driving, recognized the dragon chariot at a glance, stopped the carriage, turned his head to the carriage and said, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty is driving ahead."

Li Xin in the carriage nodded, took his family with him, all got out of the carriage, including the eldest princess, walked to the chariot of the emperor, and bowed his head respectfully to the chariot of the dragon.

"Your Majesty, Li Xin, have met His Majesty."

Originally the emperor came to see them off, so the emperor should get off the car first, but the etiquette of the monarch and ministers surpasses the worldly, so Li Xin's family got off the car first to salute the emperor.

Including the nine princesses, they also gave a blessing to their nephew, calling him His Majesty.

Emperor Yuanzhao in the dragon chariot got off the carriage with the support of the eunuch Xiao Zheng, and returned the salute to Li Xin and his wife.

"Uncle, aunt."

Although he is only 14 years old, he is not short. Although he is half a head lower than Li Xin, his aunt Jiu Gongzhu is already a little taller.

When he and Li Xin met, they were called master and apprentice, but now that Princess Nine is present, he should call Li Xin uncle.

After the young emperor returned the salute, he let out a long sigh: "I'm going to Yongzhou, there are thousands of mountains and rivers. Once my uncle and aunt go, I don't know how long it will be before they come back."

Li Xin smiled and did not speak, while Princess Nine took a step forward and smiled at her nephew, "Your Majesty, I went to Yongzhou ten years ago, and the round trip took four or five months at most. Go for at least half a year, and at most a year and come back."

As she said that, she looked back at Li Xin, and sighed slightly: "Your uncle came to the capital as a young man, and rarely returned to his hometown. The last time he went back was ten years ago. You have to be considerate and considerate of him."

"It's only natural for my uncle to return to his hometown to worship his mother, and I will naturally not stop it."

As he spoke, he glanced at Li Xin quietly, and then said, "Auntie, uncle has been away for a year or so, and I need to consult uncle on some state affairs, can we delay for a while?"

Princess Jiu is the only younger sister of Emperor Taikang. Ever since she was able to leave the palace, she often went to Wei Wangfu to play. The Emperor Yuanzhao in front of her has been watched by her since she was born, and she has always regarded it as her own son. , even if he becomes the emperor, it is the same.

Princess Jiu smiled and said, "If you have anything to ask, just ask him. I'll take your brother and sister back to the carriage and wait."

The emperor bent down and hugged his cousin, smiling all over his face.

After Jiu Gongzhu and others walked away, he looked up at Li Xin and sighed slightly.

"Teacher, to be honest, I really don't want you to leave."

Lord Jing'an smiled.

"Worried about the minister quitting?"

The emperor shook his head.

"The teacher is a trustworthy person. If he says he will return to Beijing, he will definitely return to Beijing."

Having said this, the emperor scratched his head.

"It's just that the affairs of this country are complicated, and I just feel that it's a mess and it's hard to get started."

He smiled bitterly and said: "The teacher is in the capital, and I still have some confidence in doing things. If the teacher leaves, I'm afraid I won't even dare to speak at Shangshutai."

"Just say what you have to say."

Lord Jing'an was like an old farmer, with his hands in his sleeves and a slight bow.

"The first emperor once told me that being an emperor is actually the easiest thing to do. It is nothing more than a job of nodding and shaking his head. No matter if he does it right or wrong, the people below will say that his majesty did the right thing. But if he keeps doing it wrong, People will be sad."

As he said that, Li Xin said with a smile: "My Great Jin ruled the world from Emperor Wu, and after Emperor Zhao Jing made great efforts to rule, now it can be said that the national power is at its peak. Your Majesty just choose with confidence, it doesn't matter if you are blind." , even if your Majesty is unlucky and chooses all wrongly, as long as your Majesty does not do anything outrageous, the family property left by several generations of emperors is enough for Yuan Zhao to use."

These words are a bit hurtful, but they are true. Emperor Wu ruled the world, and the two dynasties of Chengde and Taikang have been recuperating. Now the economy and people's livelihood of the Jin Dynasty are in their heyday. It is the most prosperous time for a dynasty. As long as the Emperor Yuanzhao If you don't die, you can rest on the merits of your parents and enjoy a lifetime of happiness.

Although under this prosperity, many hidden dangers are buried.

Just like the Xuanzong Dynasty of the Tang Dynasty.

Emperor Yuanzhao smiled wryly, and sighed: "This is not the first time the teacher said such a thing, as if I will be a foolish king in the future."

Li Xin smiled slightly.

"I don't mean that. What I mean is that His Majesty, as the son of heaven, can be more self-willed and don't have to walk on thin ice like Emperor Zhao and Emperor Jing."
