Unparalleled Concubine

Xiao Zheng was a little moved when he heard the words, but he still hesitated.

Lord Jing'an said in a deep voice: "Grandpa, no matter what the outcome of this matter is, it has nothing to do with you from the beginning to the end."

"Even if I know, I found out by myself."

Xiao Zheng's face turned pale, and he took another sip of tea.

He looked up at Li Xin, gritted his teeth and said, "Master Hou, then I said..."

"At the end of the eighth year of Taikang, the first emperor indeed sent a Plum Blossom Guard to the southwest..."

"But where they went and what they did, I don't quite know..."

Lord Jing'an's expression darkened.

He took a deep breath: "Grandpa, do you know if Plum Blossom Guard has anything, such as symbols or marks for joints..."

Xiao Zheng's face turned pale.

"Lord Hou, this..."

Some things, once the first step is taken, there is no going back.

After a while, Xiao Zheng had already told almost everything he knew.

Li Xin got up slowly, bowed to Xiao Zheng and said, "Thank you, Grandpa, Li Xin will remember what happened today."

He took two steps outside, and suddenly looked back at Xiao Zheng.

"Grandpa, do you know about this?"

Xiao Zheng swallowed.

"No...don't know."

Lord Jing'an nodded, and turned to leave. Before leaving, he also gave Xiao Zheng a new glass binoculars.

During the Chengde period, Li Xin made this thing out of crystal. Ten years later, his craftsmen had figured out how to make glass, but even so, this thing was still rare and valuable.

The Grand Duke hesitated for a while, and finally put the money order on the table and the telescope into his sleeves.

…………

The next day, Li Xin, the Marquis of Jing'an, wrote to the imperial court, saying that his mother's grave had been repaired for ten years and that he would go back to his hometown to visit his mother's grave.

Chapter 871 Homecoming

Li Xin entered the capital at the end of the 17th year of Chengde, and almost froze to death in the heavy snow, but he really made his fortune at the end of the 18th year of Chengde. After returning to his hometown Yongle, he repaired a tomb for Mrs. Erpin for the old mother in a few months.

It is now the spring and summer of the first year of Yuanzhao, and it is exactly ten years since Li Xin returned to his hometown to repair his mother's grave.

The Great Jin ruled the world with filial piety. Li Xin wrote a letter to tell him to return to his hometown at this time.

Therefore, after this memorandum was published, the faces of the ministers at Shangshutai were not very good-looking.

The left servant shot at Shen Kuan, still a little angry.

"Brother Gongyang has already submitted a letter to become an official, and Mingzhou has also been fired as Prime Minister. He is no longer working in Shangshutai. My Shangshutai has taken such a big step back. Li Xin still refuses to let it go, and still wants to write a letter to threaten the court!"

At this moment, although Gongyang Shu has already handed in the memorial to sue the old man, firstly, the court needs time to reply, and secondly, as the order of Zhongshu, he also has many things to hand over, so he is still discussing matters at Shangshutai at this time, and he is shaken by hearing the words Shake your head.

"Mr. Shen is a bit extreme. If I remember correctly, in the first year of Taikang, the Marquis of Jing'an did return to his hometown to repair his mother's grave. He stayed in his hometown for more than half a year before returning to Beijing. It was the most critical time for the capital, and the Marquis of Jing'an was able to return to his hometown to repair the tomb at that time, which shows his pure filial piety, and counting the time now, it happens to be ten years."

Speaking of this, Gongyang said calmly: "The Marquis of Jing'an has almost never returned to his hometown in these years, only once in ten years. It is a bit harsh for Prime Minister Shen to say such things."

"Besides, Marquis Li never resigned, let alone threatened the court."

Shen Kuan cupped his hands at Gong Yang Shu, and said with a wry smile, "This is Li Chang'an's strength, his timing is just right."

Old Yang Yang has gone through four dynasties and served as Chancellor of three dynasties, and he frowned slightly when he heard the words: "It is better for Prime Minister Shen to be more cautious, and hand over Master Li Houye's cover letter to Weiyang Palace, and leave it to His Majesty to make a decision. "

Even if Shangshutai is now in charge of this kind of matter, they dare not make a decision lightly, so they can only send Li Xin's memorial to Shangshutai for the emperor to decide.

Emperor Yuanzhao also frowned for a long time after reading this memorial, and finally asked Li Xin to come to the palace.

In Weiyang Palace, the Son of Heaven cupped his hands to Li Xin, and said with a wry smile, "Teacher, are you still angry because of what happened a few days ago?"

Li Xin stood with his hands down, shook his head when he heard the words, and said: "Your Majesty, I have stated in the memorial that I have not returned home for ten years since I returned to my hometown ten years ago to repair my mother's grave. In ten years, I have a son again, so I should go back to my hometown and show my grandson to my mother."

The emperor pulled Li Xin, sat down on the chair, and said softly: "I can understand the teacher's filial piety, but I have not long since ascended the throne, and there are still many places that need the teacher's support and teaching. Not very solid."

The young emperor looked up at Li Xin, gritted his teeth and said, "Could the teacher... suspend the students and stay in the capital to help me?"

Li Xin looked calm and looked at the emperor with a slight smile.

"Your Majesty, I was born as a grassroots citizen. In terms of knowledge and vision, I am inferior to many Hanlin scholars, and there are not many who can teach Your Majesty. If there is any use in staying in the capital, at most it can help Your Majesty take care of the Right Battalion of the Forbidden Army. Defend the capital."

"I have thought about this too. He Song, the deputy general of the right camp of the imperial army, has been in the right camp of the imperial army for many years. If I don't go to the right camp, he can also manage the right camp in an orderly manner. It doesn't matter whether the minister is in the capital or not. of."

"If Your Majesty is still worried, you can ask the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion to send a few generals to supervise He Song, so that there will be no more problems."

"As for the word support, I can't even say it."

Li Xin bowed his head slightly and said: "The minister is not an assistant minister and does not participate in political affairs. He Song has always been in charge of the right battalion of the Forbidden Army, and he has resigned from his job as Minister of the Ministry of War. He is only an idler in the capital and cannot help His Majesty with anything."

"Your Majesty, I beg you to allow me to go back to my hometown to worship my mother because I have been loyal to the country for ten years and have not returned home."

Speaking of this, there is no way for anyone to keep Li Xin on the moral level.

In fact, although Li Xin left the capital this time, on the one hand, it was because of Lin Hu's affairs, but on the other hand, he really wanted to go home to visit his mother's grave. The last time he returned to Yongzhou was in the first year of Taikang. I haven't been back to my hometown for ten years.

Emperor Yuanzhao opened his mouth, and the words to persuade him to stay came to his lips, but he couldn't say anything.

He finally sighed and said, "Then... when will the teacher come back?"

Lord Jing'an said in a low voice: "Recently, the court has been turbulent, and I am a little tired. I think I will rest in my hometown for a few months. First, I will accompany my mother, and second, I will teach the two children in the family to learn from Yongzhou. talk."

Taifu Li laughed at himself: "One son and one daughter in the family were all born in the capital. There are no Yongzhou people in the Hou's mansion. They can't even speak a word of Yongzhou dialect."

Emperor Yuanzhao wanted to speak but stopped.

In the end, the young emperor gritted his teeth.

"Teacher, the matter of the students' pro-government... can be discussed again..."

The emperor was afraid.

Whether my teacher is in charge of the imperial army or the military department, as long as he can stay in the capital, then he can talk about anything, but if he is not in the capital, then the matter will be serious.
