Unparalleled Concubine

She glanced at Li Xin and sighed softly.

"It's just that in the future, no one can show you the way, and everything depends on you."

Li Xin had already walked out of the door at this time, he smiled at Jiuniang and said, "Sister thinks, where should I go?"

Cui Jiuniang shook her head.

"I don't know, but wherever you go, I think it's right."

Li Xin sighed, took two steps back, and bowed deeply to Cui Jiuniang.

"Elder sister, take care of yourself. In a few days, my younger brother will take Xiao Xiao to see my elder sister."

After he bid farewell to Jiu Niang, he walked out of the small alley.

Still walking home, when he returned to the gate of Jing'an Hou Mansion, it was completely dark, Chen Shiliu was the first to surround him, pulled Li Xin's sleeve and said: "Master Hou, at home Is there a guest waiting for you?"

This is a very normal thing. It is strange that no one is looking for him at this time.

Li Xin said as he walked, "Who is it?"

"Mr. Xie Dai from the Xie family, Master Hou, you came to visit not long after you left the house. I heard that you were not at home and wanted to go out to look for you. But we don't know where you have been, Mr. Xie. Just wait at the mansion."

"Xie Dai..."

Lord Jing'an chuckled: "It seems that the Xie family wants to talk to me."

"Where is he now?"

"in living room."

Li Xin nodded, and said in a deep voice, "I'm going to change clothes, and then I'll go see him."

Li Xin returned to the backyard, changed into a blue robe, washed his face, and walked towards the living room.

In the living room, Xie Dai was meditating with his eyes closed. He arrived at the Jing'an Hou Mansion in the morning and had already been sitting here for more than half a day.

Chen Shiliu even brought him some food, but he didn't eat a bite and just waited here for several hours.

Li Xin stepped in and smiled: "The Marquis has some important things to do when he leaves the mansion, and Mr. Lao Xie has been waiting for a long time."

Xie Dai immediately opened his eyes, quickly stood up from the chair, and bowed his head to Li Xin.

"Xie Dai, my lower official, I have met the Taifu."

Li Xin pointed to the chair and said, "General Xie Lang, you don't need to be polite, just sit and talk."

With that said, he sat on the main seat, Xie Dai hesitated for a moment, and sat down on the chair as well.

Li Xin took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "General Xie Lang has been waiting in the mansion for so long, what's the matter?"

Xie Dai took a deep breath, and said in a deep voice: "Back to Taifu, I am entrusted by the Empress Dowager to discuss some matters with Taifu."

Lord Jing'an looked calm.

"If the Empress Dowager has any orders, just say it directly, there is no need to discuss."

"It's too heavy a word."

Xie Dai stood up from the chair, bowed his head to Li Xin and said: "Today, the ministers of Shangshutai, the Zuo Dudu of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, and Doctor Yushi went to Kunde Palace together, and told the Empress Dowager What happened in the court today."

Li Xin nodded.

"The empress dowager believed what they said?"

"Of course not."

Xie Dai smiled wryly: "Otherwise, the lower officials would not have appeared in Lord Hou's residence."

"What does the Empress Dowager mean?"

"My lady means..."

Xie Dai raised his head, glanced at Li Xin cautiously, and then said: "The Empress Dowager means that it is not wrong for the Grand Tutor to be in charge of the court and clean up the treacherous and sycophant, but these people are all the ministers of the late emperor. Your Majesty is still short in the throne, so it is not easy to be in charge, so the Empress Dowager would like to ask the Grand Tutor to be merciful for a while..."

The smile on Li Xin's face faded.

"What kind of relief?"

Xie Dai gritted his teeth and said, "The Zhongshu ordered Gong Yangshu to be strict with the Yushi doctor, so he can take responsibility for this matter. What the Empress Dowager means is to stop here..."

This is the empress dowager mediating in the middle, which means that the four ministers can go to the second one. Except for the more critical Shen Kuan and the governor Ji Lin, the other two ministers can sacrifice to make a mark for this matter. period.

Of the two ministers who were "sacrificed", Gongyang Shu is already old and has reached the age of becoming an official, while Yan Shouzhuo is about 70 to [-] years old, and his foundation is shallow, and he is also a minister to make up for the number, so he can also was sacrificed.

Originally, if this sentence was said by another person, it would be very euphemistic, but Xie Dai knew Li Xin's character better, so he said it straight to the point.

Hearing this sentence, Li Xin showed a smile on his face.

"General Xie Lang is quick to talk and doesn't talk too much. Among the Xie family, I like General Xie Lang the most because of this."

Xie Dai's forehead was sweating.

"Thanks to the great love of the Taifu, the lower officials are terrified."

Lord Jing'an narrowed his eyes, and continued to ask: "However, the four ministers are all guilty, and Shen Kuan and Ji Lin are the chief culprits. , doesn't make sense?"

Xie Dai lowered his head and smiled wryly: "Teacher, the matters in the court are almost done..."

"If you have to be serious, I'm afraid everyone will have trouble in the end."

"It's not serious."

Jing'an Hou said indifferently: "Since General Xie Lang speaks frankly, then I will not hide it anymore. I also know what the Empress Dowager is thinking about when things come to this. I, Li Xin, monopolize the power and threaten the imperial power."

"Please Xie Lang will tell the Empress Dowager that if His Majesty takes charge in advance, no matter what happens to the four assistant ministers, Li Xin is willing to resign and retire from office, and will not interfere in court affairs from now on."

Lord Jing'an's tone was sincere.

"These chaotic people are not in the court, I believe His Majesty will soon take over the court."

Xie Dai panicked even more.

He looked up at Li Xin, tremblingly said: "Tai... Taifu..."

Li Xin reached out and patted his shoulder.

"General Xie Lang is just a messenger, so just tell the empress dowager my words without a word."
