Unparalleled Concubine

   Chapter 849 Hard promotion

After the emperor Yuan Zhao's enthronement ceremony, the new dynasty was basically settled, and then it was only necessary to wait quietly for the new emperor to become an adult. calmed down.

   After coming out of the Shangshutai, Li Xin went to the harem and picked up the nine princesses from the Kunde Palace. The couple left the palace from Yonganmen together and got into their own carriage.

  Chen Shiliu waved his whip, and the carriage slowly walked towards the Jingan Hou residence.

  In the carriage, the nine princesses shook her husband's hand and asked, "Is there something wrong with Shangshutai looking for you?"

She was born in a royal family, and she is very clear about the official system of the imperial court. She naturally knows what kind of status Shang Shutai holds in the imperial court. What's more, if she is young today, the two chief ministers of Shang Shutai are assisting the government. Apart from military affairs, today's Shang Shutai Tai is acting on behalf of the king.

   Shangshutai inexplicably found Li Xin, so the Ninth Princess naturally wanted to ask.

   "No big deal."

   Li Xin said with a smile: "Some trivial matters about Your Majesty have already been dealt with."

  The Nine Princesses nodded and said softly, "Most of the power of the imperial court is in the Shangshutai, so the Shangshutai is also the most eye-catching. You should not have any dealings with them if you are okay, we can just live by ourselves."

  Li Xin smiled and nodded.

   "What Your Highness said is that my husband must do as I do, and I will never communicate with those old men again."

  The couple have been married for many years, and the title of "His Royal Highness" has long been abandoned. Now, it is mostly meant to be a joke.

   Nine Princesses snorted softly, turned her head away and ignored Li Xin.

  The couple were talking when the carriage stopped suddenly.

  Li Xin frowned slightly.

He has traveled the road from Yonganmen too many times. He is very familiar with the time to go home and the sections to be passed. He knows where he is now, how far away from the Jinganhou Mansion. There are two or three turns to get there.

   So he asked, "What happened?"

   Chen Shiliu, who was driving, turned his head, lifted the curtain, and said solemnly, "Master Hou, someone is blocking the way."

  The Marquis of Jing'an stuck his head out from the curtain of the car, and saw a richly dressed, purple-clad young man about fifteen or sixteen years old, standing in front of the carriage of the Marquis of Jing'an.

  Behind this young man, there were a dozen or so strong men who seemed to be his guards.

   Although the young man blocked the road, his attitude was very good. He bowed deeply to the carriage of the Marquis of Jing'an.

   "Ji Kai, Prince of Qi, asks to see the Marquis of Jing'an."

   After he finished saying this, he lowered his head and said, "I have seen my aunt."

   After hearing this, Li Xin immediately shrank back his body that had been leaning out.

   Ji Hwan's son?

   He frowned at first, then quickly reacted, and said solemnly to Chen Shiliu: "Ignore him, run over."

   "It doesn't matter life or death!"

Chen Shiliu had followed Li Xin for many years, and he understood what Li Xin meant. As soon as Li Xin finished speaking, he waved his whip, and the two white horses pulling the cart immediately neighed loudly. past.

   This Prince of Qi is naturally not a fool. Faced with such a big car, if he tried to stop it with his body, he would probably die on the streets of the capital. He was startled and hurriedly avoided it.

   By the time he reacted, the black carriage of the Marquis of Jing'an had already sped away.

   At the same time, the Marquis of Jing An in the carriage was full of bad luck.

   At this time, even the Ninth Princess on the side saw something wrong, she frowned and said, "The son of the fourth brother, why did you come to us?"

  When the new emperor ascended the throne, even if the vassal kings from all over the country could not leave the vassal state, they could send their princes to the capital to pay homage. Therefore, it is not surprising that this prince of Qi appeared in the capital, but the strange thing was why he came to stop Li Xin's carriage.

   You must know that it is a big taboo for court ministers, especially ministers who lead troops, to associate with clans, not to mention the princes of Qi Wangfu who failed to seize the successor ten years ago and were driven out of the capital to become vassal.

   More importantly, once the two sides come into contact, not only the ministers will be suspected by the court, but the vassal kings themselves will be more suspicious, and the future will be even more difficult.

   Even if His Royal Highness King Qi really has something to come to find Li Xin, he shouldn't let his son stop Li Xin's carriage in the Yongle Square.

   "He did it on purpose."

  Li Xin, who was sitting in the carriage, narrowed his eyes.

   "His Royal Highness King Qi is immortal. He wants to take this opportunity to provoke a conflict between the court and our family."

   Li Xin took a deep breath: "He wants the imperial court to be more suspicious of me. It is best to keep me from hanging out in the capital so that he can have a chance to take the next step."

   Having said this, Lord Jingan slowly closed his eyes.

   "It's been more than ten years, and your fourth brother still has a bad mind, and his heart will not die."

  The nine princesses were a little panicked, she whispered: "Then what should I do?"

   "It's all right. If this kid comes to our house secretly to find me, it may be of some use, but he stopped us in Yonglefang in an upright manner, and anyone with a discerning eye can see the flaw."

   Having said this, Li Xin said to Chen Shiliu: "This kid will probably come again. Shishi you tell the doorman, stop him directly, and say that I haven't seen any guests recently."

  Chen Shiliu nodded slightly.

"understood."

While talking, the carriage had stopped at the entrance of the Hou's Mansion, Li Xin and Jiu Gongzhu got off the car one after another, and then ordered again: "Remember, in the past three days, except for the people in the palace, no matter who comes, everyone else will be the same. not see."

  Chen Shiliu bowed his head and said, "Don't worry, Lord Hou, it will be done for Lord Hou."

  Li Xin and the eldest princess stepped into the Jinganhou mansion.

   As soon as the two of them walked in, the door of the Hou residence was closed, which meant that in the past few days, the Jingan Hou residence would not entertain any guests.

   However, this kind of closed door only lasted for one day, and in the afternoon of the next day, a group of eunuchs in purple clothes broke through the defense line of the Hou's mansion's gatekeeper and successfully entered the Hou's mansion.

   The leader of this group of eunuchs in purple is Xiao Huai, Xiao Zheng's godson.

The    imperial decree arrived, and the Hou Mansion naturally dared not refuse to welcome it. After a while, Li Xin brought his family and prepared to kneel in the main hall to receive the imperial decree.

But when the family members of the Hou residence had just arrived in the main hall and were preparing to set up a case and burn incense to welcome the imperial decree, Xiao Huai waved his hands to Li Xin again and again, and smiled flatly: "No big gift, no big gift, Lord Hou can just take it and see. "

   said, he was about to hand over the imperial edict to Li Xin.

  Li Xin stretched out his hand to take the imperial decree, and nodded slightly to Xiao Huai: "There is Eunuch Lao."

   Xiao Huai had a smile on his face.

   "It's not hard work, it's not hard work, it's a blessing for slaves and maids to be able to send the imperial edict of the Lord of the Marquis."

  Li Xin heard the word "Gao Sheng". Brows furrowed.

   He had seen the imperial decree many times, and he was very familiar with unfolding the imperial decree. Soon the imperial decree was slowly unfolded by him, and the entire main hall of the Marquis of Jing'an immediately knelt down.

   Li Xin glanced briefly and saw the most crucial line of words.

   "Taibao Li Xin, as the emperor of the dynasty, the general of the Jiazhu Kingdom."

   Except for this line of words, the other words on the imperial decree have no effect. Li Xin simply scanned it and saw the location of the imperial decree.

   Here, it was supposed to be stamped with a jade seal.

   But at this time, in addition to the jade seal, there are four private seals and the signatures of four auxiliary ministers.

   That is to say, all four of their ministers agreed.

  The Marquis of Jing An glanced at the imperial edict several times, and then laughed.

   "Eunuch Xiao has a trip, the content of this imperial decree..."

"I see."
