Unparalleled Concubine

   Chapter 864 Die together

  Li Xin stayed in this small yard for a long time, almost half a day. During this half day, he spent most of the time reminiscing with Cui Jiuniang and asking about Cui Jiuniang's future plans.

   This woman who has experienced twists and turns in her life finally chose to convert to Buddhism. She planned to find a nunnery after a while to lose her hair, but under Li Xin's dissuasion, she continued to lead her practice at home.

   Li Xin means that after three years, if Jiuniang still has this idea, he will no longer stop him.

   When he left, it was already evening and sunset.

   Jiuniang personally delivered him to the door with a gentle tone.

   "Although I don't know what the current state of affairs is, it's not always safe to be an official in the capital, and... he's not here anymore, so be careful of yourself, Lord Hou."

   Li Xin smiled and nodded.

   "Sister Cui can rest assured. After so many years, I think that the bone-shattering snowstorm was the most dangerous. I survived that snowstorm by selling charcoal to Sister Cui, and there will be no difficulties in the future."

   Hearing Li Xin talking about old things, Jiuniang also looked at Li Xin with emotion.

   "Yeah, that skinny charcoal seller back then is now a first-class Taifu of the dynasty."

   Jiuniang smiled gently.

   "After reading history books, I'm afraid you alone can stand in this position at this age, and still stand so stably."

   She glanced at Li Xin and sighed softly.

   "It's just that no one can show you the way. Everything depends on you."

   Li Xin had already walked out of the door at this time, he smiled at Jiuniang: "Sister, where do I think I should go?"

   Cui Jiuniang shook her head.

   "I don't know, but no matter where you go, I think it's right."

   Li Xin sighed, took two steps back, and gave Cui Jiuniang a deep bow.

   "Sister take care of yourself. In a few days, my younger brother will bring Xiaoxiao to see my elder sister together."

   After saying goodbye to Jiuniang, he walked away from this small alley.

He was still walking home. When he returned to the gate of Jing'an Hou's Mansion, it was already completely dark. Chen Shiliu was the first to surround him, pulling Li Xin's sleeves and saying, "Master Hou, at home Are there any guests 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?"

"Master Xie Dai of the Xie family, Hou Ye came to visit you shortly after you left. I heard that you were not at home, so I had to go out to find you, but we don't know where you went, Master Hou, this Master Xie just went out to find you. Just wait at the house."

   "Xie Dai..."

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

   "Where is he now?"

"in living room."

  Li Xin nodded and said solemnly, "I'll change my clothes and 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 closing his eyes and meditating. He arrived at Jing'an Hou's mansion in the morning and has been sitting here for most of the day.

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

  Li Xin walked in, hehe smiled: "This Marquis has some important things to do when he leaves the house, and I will be waiting for a long time with Lao Xie Lang."

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

   "Xie Dai, the lower official, I have seen the grand master."

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

   said, he sat on the main seat, Xie Dai hesitated, and sat down on the chair.

   Li Xin took a sip of tea and said with a smile, "Xie Lang has been waiting in the palace for so long, what is the matter?"

  Xie Dai took a deep breath and said solemnly: "Go back to Taifu, the lower official is entrusted by the Queen Mother to discuss some things with Taifu."

  Jing'an Houye's face was calm.

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

   "Tao Fu Yan is too heavy."

Xie Dai stood up from his chair, bowed his head to Li Xin and said, "Today, all the ministers from the Shangshutai, together with the Zuo Governor of the Grand Governor's Mansion, as well as the Imperial Censor, went to the Kunde Palace together, and talked to the Empress Dowager. about what happened in the court today."

   Li Xin nodded.

   "The Queen Mother believed their words?"

   "Naturally not."

  Xie Dai said with a wry smile: "Otherwise, the lower officials would not have appeared in the Houye's mansion."

   "What does the empress dowager mean?"

   "Niangniang means..."

Xie Dai raised his head, glanced at Li Xin cautiously, and then said, "The Queen Mother means that it is not wrong for the Grand Master to be in the right place and clean up the traitors, but these people are all assistant ministers of the late emperor. His Majesty's accession to the throne is still short, and he is not very good at pro-government, so the Queen Mother wants to ask the Taifu to be merciful, so let's delay it for a while..."

   The smile on Li Xin's face subsided.

   "What kind of relaxation method?"

  Xie Dai gritted his teeth and said, "Zhongshu ordered Gong Yangshu to keep strict with the censor, and can take responsibility for this matter. The Queen Mother means that this is the end..."

This is the empress dowager mediating in the middle, which means that the four auxiliary ministers can go to the other two. Except for the more critical Shen Kuan and the chief governor Ji Lin who cannot move, the other two auxiliary ministers can sacrifice to make a mark on this matter. period.

The two auxiliary ministers who were "sacrificed", Gong Yangshu was already old and reached the age of becoming an official, while Yan Shouzhuo was about sixty or seventy years old, and his foundation was shallow, and being an auxiliary minister also came to make up the number, so he also can be sacrificed.

   Originally, if someone else said this sentence, 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, a smile appeared on Li Xin's face.

   "Xie Lang Jiang is quick to talk, and he is not long-winded. I am most optimistic about Xie Lang Jiang in the Xie family, because of this."

  Xie Dai sweated on his forehead.

   "Thanks to the Taifu's love, the lower officials are frightened."

The Marquis of Jing'an squinted his eyes and continued to ask: "But the four auxiliary ministers are all to blame, among them Shen Kuan and Ji Lin are the culprits, the empress dowager not only pardoned these two culprits, but also the other two auxiliary ministers. , is something that doesn't make sense?"

  Xie Dai bowed his head and smiled bitterly: "Master, things in the courtroom are almost done..."

   "If you have to be serious, in the end, I'm afraid everyone will not be able to make it through."

   "Not true."

The Marquis of Jing'an said lightly: "Since Xie Lang will speak frankly, then I won't hide it. Now that the matter is here, I also know what the Empress Dowager is taking care of. I, Li Xin, take over the power alone and threaten the imperial power."

   "Please tell Xie Lang to the Empress Dowager, and say that if His Majesty is in charge of the government ahead of time, no matter what happens to the four auxiliary ministers, Li Xin is willing to resign and resign, and will not interfere in the affairs of the court from now on."

  Jing'an Houye's tone was sincere.

   "These chaotic people are not in the court. I believe that Your Majesty will soon be able to take over the court."

  Xie Dai was even more panicked.

  He looked up at Li Xin and said in a trembling voice, "Tai...Taifu..."

   Li Xin reached out and patted his shoulder.

   "Xie Lang Jiang is just a messenger, just tell my words to the Empress Dowager without a word."

  Xie Dai took a few deep breaths, lowered his head and said to Li Xin, "So, the lower official will leave..."

   Mrs. Lee's smile is kind.

   "I will send Sheron General."

   Xie Jing hurriedly left Jing'an Houfu.

   At this time, in the Weiyang Palace in the palace, the mother and son were still waiting for Xie Dai's reply.
