Unparalleled Concubine

Emperor Yuanzhao was silent for a while, then looked up at Li Xin.

"Teacher, I want to ask you a question."

Lord Jing'an looked calm.

"Your Majesty just ask."

The emperor took a deep breath, gritted his teeth, and said, "Teacher fought with the four ministers a few days ago. Was it for power or to help my own government?"

Hearing this question, Lord Jing'an was stunned for a moment, and then smiled dumbly.

"If Your Majesty is in charge, no matter if it is Shangshutai, the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, or the power of the Forbidden Army in Gyeonggi, they will all be gathered in Weiyang Palace. How will the ministers fight for power? Use the Forbidden Army to create rebellion?"

"Don't forget, there is Hou Jingde in the left camp of the Forbidden Army."

As he said that, Li Xin turned his head to look at the Son of Heaven, and chuckled: "Your Majesty would have such an idea, probably because those four old men entered the palace and said something to His Majesty."

Li Xin wanted Emperor Yuanzhao to be in charge, and he had no intention of fighting for power. At most, he wanted to maintain his right to the Right Battalion of the Forbidden Army and fulfill his old friend's entrustment ahead of schedule.

However, in that court discussion, Emperor Yuanzhao did not fully stand on his side, so that the success failed.

The emperor frowned and thought about it for a while, and he also wanted to understand the key point.

If he succeeds in taking charge of the government, the imperial army, including the three imperial guards in the capital, he can almost have the final say, and Li Xin is not the fifth auxiliary minister, so after he takes charge, unless he authorizes Li Xin, Li Xin will not be able to monopolize power.

He was fooled by those old men who said "four ministers are better than one minister".

Thinking of this, Emperor Yuanzhao let out a long breath, took two steps back, and bowed deeply to Li Xin.

"I, let the teacher down..."

Lord Jing'an shook his head.

"No matter what, it is His Majesty's own decision, and I have nothing to say."

Having said that, Li Xin bid farewell.

"Your Majesty, the Yuwenzhao Department in Northern Xinjiang has annexed the Futu Department, and it is growing rapidly. If it is not restricted, it will become a major problem in the Northland in five years."

"If possible, the imperial court should try to let the Yunzhou Army and the Zhenbei Army continue to harass the Yuwenzhao Department, so that the northern border of the Great Jin Dynasty can be stable for a long time."

After saying this, Lord Jing'an backed away slowly, turned around and walked towards his carriage.

Chapter 873 Disappearing out of thin air

To be honest, the reason why Li Xin chose to confront the four assistant ministers was largely because he wanted to make a ruthless attitude that could not be wronged in the slightest, otherwise he would fight you to the end, so that no matter who As this assistant minister, no matter what the outcome of this matter is, no one will dare to attack the Jing'an Hou Mansion or the Right Battalion of the Forbidden Army afterwards.

But if it was just to achieve this goal, it would be enough to directly sue a few assistant ministers for their misconduct. There was no need to bring the matter to the point where the emperor took charge of the government in advance. The reason why Li Xin did this was naturally to help the little emperor.

Today's Emperor Yuanzhao, from the age of five or six, was watched by Li Xin and grew up. When he was a child, he also chased after Li Xin. younger generation.At this time, I naturally want to help him.

But unfortunately, this kindness did not reap goodwill. Instead, this "junior" personally rejected Li Xin's proposal.

It is impossible to say that I am not disappointed at all.

However, since Emperor Yuanzhao has already ascended the throne and sat in that position, he is different from the former Crown Prince. He needs to think from the standpoint of the emperor. Disappointed, but understandable.

But for him, these court battles are all trivial matters, he is too lazy to fight with those old men, otherwise he just needs to send Shen Gang or someone from the Tianmu Supervisor to check the background of these old men, and make sure that none of them It's clean, there's shit all over the ass.

And Li Taifu, who has been an official for more than ten years, is as clean as water, and he is born invincible in the battles between court and court.

Right now, Li Xin has no interest in fighting those old men any longer. For him, the most important thing is to save Lin Hu and ensure that nothing happens to him.

Lin Hu is the son of Lin Orion. Li Xin returned to his hometown ten years ago. It was Lin Orion who entrusted this son to Li Xin. Since Lin Hu was arranged by Li Xin to be in charge of Tianlei, he is still unmarried. Li Xin would really have no face to see Uncle Lin again.

The carriage of Jing'an Hou Mansion walked slowly on the official road in the south of the city for two days.

On the night of the third day, after the sky was completely dark, the group stayed in a hotel in a small town. Li Xin got up in the middle of the night and gently pushed the sleeping Princess Nine beside him.

Ninth Princess opened her eyes sleepily, rubbed her eyes, and saw Li Xin who was already neatly dressed.

"What's wrong? What happened?"

After all, she was from the royal family, and she was not as flustered as ordinary women, but she just asked this question.

Li Xin sighed slowly.

"Huzi was captured, I have to rush to the southwest as soon as possible, and try to rescue him."

The two have been married for ten years, and Princess Nine naturally knows who the "tiger" Li Xin is talking about, and she also understands the importance of the matter, so she just frowned and nodded in agreement.

She turned her head to look at the dark sky outside, and sighed: "Are you leaving at this time?"

Li Xin nodded.

"Shen Gang is already waiting for me outside. I will go to the southwest with him. Madam, take the people from the Hou Mansion and continue on your way. Wait for me in Yongzhou."

Having said that, Li Xin paused.

"There will be people staring at our family along the road. Madam, please be more careful. Try to pretend that I am still in the carriage. It will take at least a day or two to hide it."

Princess Jiu nodded, put her arms around Li Xin's neck, and sighed softly: "You have been running around outside all these years, and I can't help you with anything."

Lord Jing'an smiled and shook his head.

"Madam helps me take care of this house, so that I don't have to worry about the future, that's the biggest help."

After the husband and wife hugged for a while, Li Xin left.

Before leaving, he went to the next room to check on the sleeping sons and daughters, and covered the eldest daughter who was dishonest with a quilt.

At this time, it was already midnight.

Shen Gang was waiting outside with a dozen people, leading Li Xin's black horse, when he saw Li Xin in black walking over, he immediately lowered his head and said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty!"

Li Xin was expressionless.

"Let's go."

The dozen or so people behind Shen Gang bowed their heads respectfully.

"Yes!"

Li Xin got on his horse, glanced at Shen Gang after getting on his horse, and then said, "How many people are going out of Beijing together?"

Shen Gang also got on the horse at this time, and he replied: "About 270 people have left Beijing with their subordinates."

"Except for the dozen or so of us, all the others stayed behind to protect Madam secretly, as well as the Hou's family."
