Unparalleled Concubine

Yu Wendi's attitude was very humble, he bowed his head and said: "After the meeting between my father and the Taifu, I have always admired the Taifu, and I always want to see the Taifu again. There is no other meaning, please don't worry too much, Tai Tuo."

"I accept the respect, and take the things away."

Mrs. Li smiled coldly: "Yu Wenzhao sent me these in the capital, maybe I'm afraid that I will die in the capital."

"If he wants to see me, let him come to see me in the capital."

Yu Wendi forced a smile.

"Father will go to Beijing to thank you when the royal imperial edict is formally sealed, and the old man will definitely come to see Lord Hou at that time."

Li Xin showed disdain, curled his lips, and walked into his own Hou Mansion with his hands behind his back.

Yu Wendi bowed his head respectfully, and after Li Xin walked away, he raised his head and glanced at the majestic gate of Jing'an Hou Mansion.

His eyes were full of ambition.

Their branch of Yuwen belonged to the royal family of the Yuwen clan of the Northern Zhou Dynasty. In the imperial city of the Northern Zhou Dynasty decades ago, they were all extravagant families. In terms of wealth and honor, they were not inferior to the Dajin Capital City, and even surpassed it.

But now, most of them live in tents!

Thinking of this, Yu Wendi took a deep breath, turned around and left the gate of Jing'an Hou Mansion, he had just walked out of this alley not far away, a team of inner guards in red, led by the inner guard Xiao Huai, immediately surrounded Yu Wendi stand up.

Little Prince Yuwen's complexion changed slightly, he cupped his hands to Xiao Huai and said, "My father-in-law, what is the meaning of this?"

Xiao Huai's complexion was a bit unsightly, he looked Yu Wendi up and down, then stretched out his hand to touch it, with a strange expression on his face: "Is your... you in good health?"

Yu Wendi was a little puzzled: "I'm naturally fine, father-in-law... what do you mean by that?"

Xiao Huai wiped the sweat from his brow, and hurriedly pulled him, walking towards the distance.

"It's fine, it's fine, it's fine."

Naturally, he wouldn't tell Yu Wendi that although Mrs. Li looked gentle and elegant, he might... cut him down at any time...

Chapter 945

The emperor knew very well that his teacher didn't like the reconciliation between the court and Xianbei, and he didn't want the court to crown the Xianbei tribe as king, so he might do something radical.

For example, if the little prince of the Xianbei tribe was killed with one knife, the war between the imperial court and the Yuwen Ministry would naturally start again.

Li Xin would definitely do this kind of thing.

In the eighth year of Taikang, the emperor of Taikang called Li Xing from the southwest to Beijing and arranged him in Liushufang. As a result, before the emperor had time to see Li Xing, Li Xing was killed by Lord Jing'an with a knife.

The first emperor and Emperor Yuanzhao mentioned this matter more than once, repeatedly mentioning Li Xin's decisive character.

At this time, if Li Xin really killed Yu Wendi with a knife, it would be the normal style of the Marquis of Jing'an. After all, he dared to kill the prime minister of the current dynasty with a single knife in the prison of Dali Temple. The little prince, he probably wouldn't even blink his eyes when he was killed.

Therefore, when the emperor heard that the little prince had taken the initiative to go to Jing'anhou's mansion, he was very frightened, and quickly sent Xiao Huai to bring Yu Wendi back to the guild hall.

In fact, if it was Li Xin two or three years ago, he would probably have killed this Yuwen Di with a single knife, and then set off a strong war with the Yuwen Ministry, but now he is a little disappointed with the court, and he is too lazy to do his best. Worked for the court.

There's no need to take the scapegoat again.

…………

Time flows slowly.

In a blink of an eye, it was the first year of Yuanzhao. The new emperor hosted civil and military officials in Weiyang Palace, and all civil and military officials also sang praises to the emperor. The whole capital was singing and dancing, as if the previous turmoil had never happened.

However, at the banquet for all the officials, Jing'an Hou Li Xin took sick leave and did not come.

Emperor Yuanzhao, who was sitting on the main seat, looked at the vacancy left for Li Xin, and frowned slightly.

On the seventh day of the twelfth lunar month in the second year of Yuanzhao, the emperor finally got busy with the affairs inside and outside the palace, and took some free time to go out of the palace and go to Jing'anhou's mansion to have a look.

At this time, Xie Dai also returned to the capital from San'in, but he hadn't had time to settle the affairs of Habayashi, and he was still temporarily in charge of Habayashi.

So the emperor brought a team of internal guards, and asked Xie Dai to bring a battalion of school lieutenants to secretly protect him. He changed into ordinary clothes, and walked towards Jing'an Hou's mansion in this still cold winter day.

It was still during the New Year's Eve. In previous years, whether it was inside or outside the palace, it would be a time of festive decorations. However, because the first emperor died of illness for less than three years, the palace was still quite simple, no different from the usual.

There are no hangings in the palace, and most of the nobles in Yonglefang don't hang them either. Other places in the capital are busy celebrating the New Year, but Yonglefang has no New Year flavor, not even a fireworks show.

The emperor came to the gate of the Jing'an Marquis Mansion, and he went straight in without anyone notifying him. He grew up here, and apart from the East Palace, this is the place he is most familiar with, so he touched Jing'an with ease. The front hall of the Hou Mansion.

The servants of the Hou Mansion also recognized him, and hurriedly went to the backyard to inform Li Xin.

When Li Xin walked to the front hall, the little emperor had already drank half a cup of tea. Seeing Li Xin approaching, he quickly sat up from his chair, and cupped his hands at Li Xin: "I have seen the teacher."

Li Xin bowed back and said, "I have seen Your Majesty."

"Where does His Majesty come from in this Marquis Mansion?"

Emperor Yuanzhao said with a smile: "I grew up here. There are only the teacher's students and my aunt's nephew here."

He looked at Li Xin's face, and asked: "On the New Year's Day, the teacher said that he had caught a cold. I originally wanted to come and take a look on that day, but I have been bothered by the clan and ministers these days. It’s hard to find time to come to the teacher to have a look.”

"Teacher, have you recovered from your illness?"

"It's just a little cold."

Li Xin smiled lightly: "It's already done."

"It's fine."

Emperor Yuanzhao didn't treat himself as an outsider, stretched out his hand to pick up the pastry on the table, took a bite, and said to Li Xin: "It's still the New Year's Eve, when I just left the palace, I asked Xiao Zheng to prepare something. Send it to the Hou's mansion, it's my birthday present to the teacher."

Lord Jing'an was stunned for a moment, then bowed his head and said, "My lord, thank you for your reward."

The young emperor frowned and complained: "There are no outsiders here, and it is your own house. How can the teacher see outsiders like this?"

Lord Jing'an smiled.

"I haven't read many books, but I also know that I should abide by the etiquette of a monarch and a minister. Otherwise, if the old sheep finds out, he will probably submit a book to me."

"That's not so."

The emperor smiled and said: "Old Yang is very busy these days, he has to deal with things inside and outside the Shangshutai. On the third day of the Lunar New Year, I called him from home to Shangshutai, and he is still there. I'm busy at the Shangshutai, but I can't take care of you, the teacher."

After the master and apprentice talked about some interesting things about the court, the emperor first glanced at Li Xin, and then said nonchalantly: "In the middle of last year, the teacher took his aunt home to worship, and now more than half a year has passed, the teacher They are already back, I wonder when my aunt will return to Beijing?"

He said softly: "I haven't seen my aunt for more than half a year, and I still miss her a little bit. She grew up in the capital, and I don't know if Yongzhou can get used to it."

"There's also Aunt Zhong, Sister Ah Han and the others. I don't know what's going on in Yongzhou."

The meaning of these words is already obvious. They are asking Li Xin when the eldest princess will return to Beijing.
