Unparalleled Concubine

   Chapter 872 Worrying about the country and the people, Li Changan

If Emperor Taikang was still alive, he could still use coercion to keep Li Xin in the capital, but Emperor Yuanzhao couldn't. He didn't have the capital to completely turn against Li Xin, so when it didn't make sense, he had no choice but to let Li Xin out. Beijing.

   On the morning of the third day, three carriages from the Hou residence of Jing'an came out from the back door of the Hou residence and walked towards the south gate of the capital.

Ten years ago, Li Xin returned to his hometown. Except for the hundreds of Yulin guards he brought with him, he could be regarded as alone. Ten years later, the Jing'an Hou's mansion had already opened up, the eldest princess of Qinghe and Li Xin's A pair of children, plus Zhong Xiaoxiao and Chen Shiliu, all went out to Beijing with Li Xin, leaving only Chen Shiliu's daughter-in-law Hui Niang to look after the house.

   When they were in Yonglefang, the genius was shining brightly, and when they arrived at the south gate of the capital, the sun had already climbed up from the east.

   A black-and-yellow chariot has been waiting for a long time at the gate of the South City Gate.

   Chen Shiliu, who was driving, recognized the dragon at a glance, stopped the carriage, turned back to the carriage and said, "Master Hou, Your Majesty is driving in front."

  Li Xin in the carriage nodded, brought his family and got off the carriage, including the eldest princess, before reaching the carriage of the emperor, bowing his head respectfully to the dragon carriage.

   "My minister Li Xin, I have seen Your Majesty."

   Originally, the emperor came to see them off, and the emperor should get off the bus first, but the etiquette of the monarch and ministers surpassed the sophistication of human feelings, so it was Li Xin’s family who got off the bus first and saluted the emperor.

   Including the nine princesses, he also blessed his nephew and called him Your Majesty.

  The emperor Yuan Zhao in the dragon carriage got off the carriage with the help of the **** Xiao Zheng, and returned the salute to Li Xin and his wife.

   "Uncle, aunt."

   Although he was only fourteen years old, he was not short. Although he was half a head lower than Li Xin, he was already a little taller than his aunt, Princess Nine.

   When he and Li Xin met, they called him master and apprentice, but now that the Nine Princesses are present, he should call Li Xin his uncle.

   After the young emperor returned the salute, he sighed deeply: "This trip to Yongzhou is full of mountains and rivers. Once my uncle and aunt go, I don't know how long it will take to come back."

Li Xin smiled and didn't speak, but the Ninth Princess took a step forward and smiled at her nephew: "Your Majesty, I went to Yongzhou ten years ago, and the back and forth is four or five months at most. At least half a year, and as many as a year will come back.”

   Said, she looked back at Li Xin, and sighed slightly: "Your uncle came to the capital when he was young, and he rarely returned to his homeland. The last time he went back was ten years ago. You have to be considerate and considerate of him."

   "Uncle's return to his hometown to sacrifice to his mother is a matter of course, and I will naturally not stop it."

   After saying that, he glanced at Li Xin quietly, and then said, "Aunt, it's been a year and a half since my uncle has been gone. I need to ask my uncle for some state affairs, can I take some time?"

The Ninth Princess is the only sister of Emperor Taikang. Since she was able to leave the palace, she often went to Weiwang's mansion to play. The Emperor Yuanzhao in front of her was the one she watched and grew up since she was born, and she has always regarded her as her own son. , even if he becomes emperor, the same is true.

   Nine Princesses smiled and said, "If you have anything to ask him, I'll take your brother and sister back to the carriage and wait."

  The emperor bent down, hugged his cousin, and smiled.

   After the Ninth Princess and the others walked away, he looked up at Li Xin and sighed slightly.

   "Teacher, to be honest, I really don't want you to leave in my heart."

   Lord Jingan smiled.

   "Are you worried that the minister will quit his job?"

  The Emperor shook his head.

   "The teacher is a believer. If he says he will return to Beijing, he will definitely return to Beijing."

   Having said that, the emperor scratched his head.

   "It's just that this country is so complicated, I just feel it's a mess and it's hard to get started."

   He smiled bitterly and said, "Teacher is in the capital, and I still have some confidence to do things. If the teacher leaves, I'm afraid I won't even dare to say a word in the Shangshutai."

   "Say what you have to say."

  The Marquis of Jing'an is like an old farmer, with both hands in the sleeves, bowing slightly.

"The late emperor once told me that he said that being an emperor is actually the easiest thing. It is nothing more than nodding and shaking your head. No matter if you do it right or wrong, the people below will say that your majesty has done it right, but if you keep doing it wrong, The common people will be a little sad."

After speaking, Li Xin said with a smile: "I, Emperor Congwu of the Great Jin Dynasty, ruled the world, and after Emperor Zhao of Emperor Jing made great efforts to rule, it can be said that the national power is at its peak. Your Majesty just chooses with confidence and boldness, and it doesn't matter if you are blind. , Even if Your Majesty is unlucky and all the wrong choices are made, as long as His Majesty does not do anything outrageous, the family legacy left by several generations of emperors will be enough for Yuan Zhao."

These remarks are a bit hurtful, but they are true. Emperor Wu ruled the world, and the two dynasties of Chengde and Taikang have been recuperating. Now the economy and people's livelihood of Dajin are in their heydays. It is the most prosperous time of a dynasty. If you don't die, you will be able to rest on the merits of your father's generation and enjoy a lifetime of happiness.

  Although under this prosperity, there are many hidden dangers.

   Just like the Xuanzong Dynasty in the Tang Dynasty.

   Emperor Yuanzhao gave a wry smile and sighed: "This is not the first time the teacher has said such a thing, it seems that I will be a foolish monarch in the future."

  Li Xin smiled slightly.

   "I don't mean this, I mean that your Majesty, as the emperor, can be a little more willful and don't have to walk on thin ice like Emperor Zhao and Emperor Jing."

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

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

  Jing'an Houye's face was calm.

   "Your Majesty asks."

  The emperor took a deep breath and gritted his teeth: "Teacher and the four ministers a few days ago, was it for power, or to help me in pro-government?"

   Hearing this question, the Marquis of Jing An was stunned for a while, and then smiled dumbly.

   "If Your Majesty is in power, whether it is the Shangshutai, the Grand Governor's Office, or the power of the Gyeonggi Imperial Army, all the power will be brought to the Weiyang Palace. How will the ministers fight for power? Use the right of the Imperial Army to create a rebellion?"

   "Don't forget, there is another Hou Jingde in the Zuoying of the Imperial Army."

   said, Li Xin turned to look at the emperor, hehe smiled: "Your Majesty will have this idea, most of them are the four old men who entered the palace and said something to His Majesty."

  Li Xin wanted Emperor Yuan Zhao to be in power, but he had no intention of fighting for power. At most, he wanted to maintain his right to the right of the Forbidden Army and fulfill the entrustment of his old friend in advance.

   But in that court discussion, Emperor Yuanzhao did not fully stand on his side, so that the success was close to failure.

  The emperor frowned and thought for a while, and wanted to understand the key.

   If he succeeds in pro-government, the banned army includes 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 is in pro-government, unless he authorizes Li Xin, Li Xin will not be able to dictate power.

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

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

   "I, let the teacher down..."

   Lord Jingan shook his head.

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

   Having said that, Li Xin handed his farewell.

   "Your Majesty, the Yuwenzhao clan in the northern border has annexed the Buddha slaughterhouse and is growing rapidly. If there is no restriction, it will become a serious problem in the northern region in five years."

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

   After saying this, Lord Jingan slowly backed away, turned and walked towards his carriage.
