Unparalleled Concubine

   Chapter 908 Huo Guang Story

  For now, Emperor Yuanzhao, who has not yet been in power, has extremely limited power, and it is basically impossible to judge the crimes of several Zaifu from the court, and it is unlikely to take away their positions as assistant ministers.

It is actually not difficult to solve this dilemma now. The three imperial guards in the capital are all in the hands of the emperor. Jinwuwei, Jingzhao Mansion, and Imperial City Bing Ma Si and other yamen dare not oppose the imperial power for the time being. At this time, as long as the little emperor is Ken made up his mind, started killing, directly chopped up a few Zaifu, and then used three guards to arrest all the troublemakers, one counted as one, and all were killed on the spot. Under such high pressure, basically No one dared to mess up again.

But when the time comes, the emperor will be chaotic and the reputation of tyranny and bloodthirsty will spread. He is only fourteen years old, he has many brothers, and most of his uncles are still alive. If the mind is crooked, then the emperor will change hands, only in an instant.

To put it bluntly, the power of his mother family, the Shanyin Xie clan, is too small. If Emperor Taikang did not intend to help the Xie family in the last few years, Emperor Yuanzhao would have few people under his command. In this situation Come on, he can't afford to kill so many people.

   In fact, even if Li Xin returns to Beijing, if he wants to stabilize the situation, that's pretty much all he can do. It's just that Li Xin can handle it, but the little emperor can't.

After the    Great Court Meeting, Xiao Zheng asked people to clean up a palace with a collection of books in the imperial city, and invited all the servants who were originally locked up in the Shangshu Desk to enter, and no one was allowed to visit.

   At the same time, Emperor Yuanzhao summoned Kong Yu, Minister of Rites, and after receiving the support of the Ministry of Rites, he sent Yu Lin Wei to disperse the Taimiao students from the Taimiao Temple, and posted a notice that if there were any more troublesome Taishi students, they would be dismissed from their titles and status.

   Those who can go to the Taixue are mostly scholars or juren, and their reputation is their culprit. After the notice was posted, these Taixue immediately died and dared not talk nonsense.

   But gossip in secret is inevitable.

  In this way, the young emperor Yuanzhao confronted the courtiers.

  The emperor Yuan Zhao asked Xiao Zheng to send a letter to Li Xin, and it was also expedited to Yongzhou in six hundred miles.

Yongzhou is almost 2,400 miles away from the imperial court. The 600-mile express post has one person and three horses, and when passing by the post station, they change horses or people. They can run around the clock and can run almost five or six hundred miles a day. On the fourth day, they are all dusty The Jingcheng emissary came to the foot of Yongzhou City, he did not enter the city, but flew in the direction of Qiyang County.

  When it was almost dusk in the afternoon, the post envoy came to the door of Li's house at the foot of Qishan, turned over and dismounted, and knocked on the door.

   "Expedited six hundred miles in the capital!"

The postman's voice was a little hoarse. After shouting a few times in a row, a concierge finally came to open the door. After inquiring about his intention, the concierge did not let him in. He just took the letter from the capital and turned around. He found Li Xin, who was bracing meat with his wife and children on the grill under the pavilion in the backyard, and bowed respectfully: "Master Hou, it was delivered urgently from 600 li in the capital."

  Li Xin turned around the golden mutton kebab in his hand and handed it to his eldest daughter. He smiled and said, "Come on, Ahan, this is ready to eat."

  Little Ahan inherited her mother's foodie attributes. Hearing that, she immediately took it and smiled sweetly at Li Xin: "Thank you, Dad."

   Nine Princesses gave Li Xin a blank look, as if complaining about his partiality.

  Li Xin wiped the oil stains on his hands with a handkerchief, turned around to take the letter, and asked lightly, "Who sent it?"

   There are not many people who are qualified to use 600 li for expedited delivery, because running 600 miles in one day hurts people and horses, and there are often cases of dead horses running. Generally, only the military newspapers of the Ministry of War will use this specification to send letters.

  The concierge of Li's house is also the general of Jing'an Hou's house. He lowered his head and said solemnly: "The man said that it should have been sent from the palace."

  Li Xin became interested. After opening the envelope, he took out three pages of letter paper. He half-squinted his eyes and looked at the three pieces of paper from front to back. A smile gradually appeared on his face.

   "Okay, I was thinking about how to stabilize the situation in the southwest two days ago. It's only been a few days, and the capital has given me such a big surprise."

   Li Houye folded the letter, stuffed it back into the envelope, and said with a smile, "People say that it is impossible for scholars to rebel in three years. I didn't expect that these big-headed scholars are not generals, but they want to do Huo Guang stories."

   After hearing Li Xin's words, the Ninth Princess also put down the mutton skewer in her hand and glanced at Li Xin curiously: "Who is Huo Guang?"

   "What happened in the capital?"

  Li Xin stuffed the letter into his sleeve, hehe smiled: "It's not a big deal, it's just that someone doesn't want your eldest nephew to be the emperor."

   Nine princesses' expressions changed slightly.

When she was 13 or 14 years old and had not left the palace, she often played in the palace of Wei Wang. She watched the birth and growth of Emperor Yuan Zhao, and she was no different from her own son. The relationship between the two was very good. Over the years, Emperor Yuanzhao lived in Jing'an Hou's mansion, and the ninth princess often took him to play with him, but after becoming emperor, the two talents gradually became less and less.

   "What the **** happened?"

   "It's unclear."

   Lord Jingan sat down again, calmly picked up the brush, and smeared the sauce on the skewers.

   "Maybe he made up a story to trick me into returning to Beijing."

   Nine Princesses also wiped their hands, stretched out their hands and said, "Show me."

The Marquis of Jing'an happily handed the letter to the nine princesses. She only read it once, then angrily threw the letter aside and said angrily: "Thanks to these people who are still prime ministers, they have wronged the emperor for no reason. Mother, spread it out, and his reputation in this lifetime will be ruined!"

The Marquis of Jing An bent down, picked up a few letters that were swaying in the wind, stuffed them into the envelope again, and said with a smile: "Why is the reputation of a bad person so simple, if what is said in the letter is true, they clearly want to abolish the emperor. !"

"The late emperor has eight sons, more than a dozen brothers, and many clan children. Once your eldest nephew loses his morals, I don't know how many people will stare at this position. The forces behind these people are intricate and complicated. Yin Xie's, I'm afraid I won't be able to keep the throne."

   "The son will mess with the mother, the son will mess with the mother..."

  The Marquis of Jing'an thought about it for a while, and said, "It's these scholars who have vicious minds and can think of such a dirty crime."

   Princess Nine got up from the grill, pulled Li Xin aside, and asked nervously, "Chang'an, if you go back to Beijing, can you help the emperor?"

  Li Houye narrowed his eyes and smiled.

   "Mostly yes, in terms of taking the blame, my husband is the most experienced."

   Nine Princesses took a deep breath and asked softly, "Then do you want to go back?"

   "I haven't made up my mind yet."

The Marquis of Jing'an said indifferently: "First of all, I want to confirm whether this matter is true or not, I can't be coaxed back to the capital by someone else's letter, and I have to think about it carefully, I can't just rush back to the capital. already."

   He lowered his head and pondered for a while, then looked up at the Ninth Princess, and said solemnly, "I may be going to Jincheng in the next few days. Madam will take Ahan and Ping'er at home."

   Jiu Princess glanced at her husband with a complicated look, and sighed softly.

   "After all, the emperor was the one who grew up watching me..."

   "He's still young, he's not the opponent of those old men, Chang'an you... No matter what, let him survive..."
