Unparalleled Concubine

"The governor also thinks this way?"

According to seniority, Ji Lin is the uncle of Emperor Taikang, and Empress Dowager Xie should call him Yizuoshu, but the bloodlines of the two families are far away, so it is only about monarchs and ministers, regardless of bloodlines.

Compared with the other prime ministers, Ji Lin was still not willing to get involved. He sighed and bowed deeply to Empress Dowager Xie.

"Empress Dowager, there are mistakes and omissions in this matter in the Metropolitan Governor's Office. I should not listen to other people's words and recommend Zhou Qingyang to enter the right camp of the Forbidden Army. The matter has come to this point. No matter how the court punishes me, I will accept it willingly."

"As for other things, I... don't know anything about it."

Although he is a warrior, he also knows in his heart that a "military organization" like the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion cannot intervene in the complicated court struggles.

Therefore, even if he bears the guilt, he doesn't want to continue to get involved in this matter.

Empress Dowager Xie took a deep breath.

"In this case, the Ai family almost already knows."

She looked at the last minister again.

"Yan Sikong also thinks the same?"

Yan Shouzhuo, who was not good at words, bowed his head respectfully: "Back to the Queen Mother, I agree with Prime Minister Shen."

Empress Xie nodded.

"The Ai family has already understood the meaning of the princes, and the princes will go back for a while, what to do, and the Ai family will pass on the prince's meaning to His Majesty later."

Shen Kuan and the others looked at each other, and then bowed to the Queen Mother one after another.

"I'm waiting to retire."

Before leaving, Shen Kuan bowed his head deeply to Empress Dowager Xie, and repeated what Gongyang Shu had said in front of Yong'an Gate.

"Empress Dowager, one minister is always inferior to four ministers."

After finishing speaking, Shen Broadband led a group of prime ministers and respectfully withdrew from Kunde Palace.

The Empress Dowager sent two eunuchs to see him off.

After they all left the Kunde Palace, the empress dowager sitting on the main seat was silent for a long time before slowly opening her mouth: "Did you hear what they said?"

A young man slowly came out from behind the screen of the Kunde Palace, with a complex expression on his face, and sat down at the head of the Empress Dowager.

"After returning to mother, the child heard it."

Empress Dowager Xie glanced at her son and asked softly, "What do you think?"

Emperor Yuanzhao didn't answer, but asked instead: "What does the empress think?"

Empress Dowager Xie frowned, and finally said in a hoarse voice: "Mother is not in the court, so it is not convenient to talk about many things, but although these people have their own thoughts, and they may have made mistakes, Prime Minister Zuo said before leaving. The last sentence is always right."

"Four ministers are better than one minister."

She looked up at her son and sighed slightly.

"Your father kept them in order to restrain some of your teachers."

The little emperor lowered his head and thought for a while, then looked up at his mother.

"But my mother, the teacher said that if there is no result in this matter, he will resign from office."

Tianzi blinked.

"Without the teacher, my mother and I are in the capital..."

"I'm afraid it will be difficult."

Chapter 863 He Is Sorry For You

Compared with several assistant ministers rushing around in the palace, Li Xin is much more relaxed.

After he left Yong'an Gate, he got into Chen Shiliu's car and returned home. Not long after that, he walked out of the house again. At this moment, he had already taken off his first-grade court clothes and changed into ordinary clothes. He ran towards Qinhuai Square with his hands behind his back.

This time it was a fight with the ministers, and Li Xin was not sure. If Emperor Yuanzhao fell to the four ministers, he was really going to resign and go back to his hometown in Yongzhou.

So he was going to meet his old friend.

The Qinhuai River is not very far from Yongle Square, and it only took less than half an hour for the Hou Ye of Jing'an to walk all the way to the Qinhuai River.

He entered the capital at the age of sixteen or seventeen, and now it has been more than ten years in the blink of an eye. In more than ten years, things in the capital have changed, and even the emperor has changed two people. However, the Qinhuai River is still prosperous for ten miles, and there are still boats everywhere on the Rouge River. .

It's just that it's daytime now, no family has any business, and the boat just stops by the river without moving. Even the biggest Deyi Building on the Qinhuai River has its door half-closed and doesn't open.

Deyi Building has been the business of the Jing'an Hou Mansion since many years ago.

Although Li Xin didn't put much effort into managing it these years, with the backing of Jing'an Houfu, after ten years, the business of Deyilou is still booming, even earning more than in Chengde Dynasty.

And because of the well-informed information, this place has become a place where Li Xin's subordinate Shen Gang and others often come, and it can be regarded as one of the strongholds of Li Xin's forces in the dark.

Li Xin walked past the door of Deyi Building, without even looking at the signboard of Deyi Building, he walked over directly.

After passing through the Deyi Building, he went through seven or eight alleys and came to an unfamiliar alley. He lowered his head and straightened his clothes, walked to a door at the end of the alley, and knocked lightly. door.

The one who opened the door was a little girl who looked about fourteen or fifteen years old.

The little girl glanced at Li Xin, and then asked a little timidly: "Master, what are you... knocking on my door for?"

With a smile on his face, Li Xin glanced at the little girl.

"Are you new here?"

The little girl shook her head firmly.

"I've been here for two years..."

This is Cui Jiuniang's residence. After Emperor Taikang ascended the throne, Cui Jiuniang, as the emperor's woman, was inconvenient to show her face, so she left Deyilou and lived in this courtyard. It has been ten years in a blink of an eye.

Originally, Cui Jiuniang's maid was Ping'er who followed her all the time, but Ping'er was also a woman, and she wanted to marry when she was old. About two years ago, Ping'er got married from this yard and married a butcher in Datongfang. Li Xin was not involved in this matter, but he still knew about it.

The girl in front of him was a new maid that Li Xin bought for Cui Jiuniang from the Jiaofang Division. It was not all to take care of Cui Jiuniang, but more to find her a companion.

But in the past two years, Li Xin hasn't been here, so the little girl doesn't recognize Li Xin.

Marquis Li smiled slightly: "I am a friend of your wife, my surname is Li, can you inform me, Miss?"

The little girl combed her hair in two small buns, and scratched her head upon hearing this.

"You are Aunt Cui's friend, so why..."
