Unparalleled Concubine

   Chapter 343 Life is but a handful of ashes

   Old man Ye laughed when he saw Li Xin's appearance.

   "Okay, I won't make you happy. If you can find me on this matter, it will give the old man face. If so, how about calling it Chang'an?"

  Changan, Li Changan…

   Speaking of which, after Emperor Wu slaughtered the world, he had intended to move the capital to Chang'an, but later, for various reasons, it was settled in Jinling.

The most important thing is that the interests are too involved. If Emperor Wu is the first emperor, he can move the capital without any scruples, but by the time of Emperor Wu, he is already the sixth generation emperor of the Jin Dynasty. He has been entrenched in Jinling for more than a hundred years. This kind of power has already taken root in Jinling, and even with Emperor Wu's credit for destroying the country, it has not been shaken.

  Li Xin stopped, looked back at Ye Sheng, and said slowly, "Will it be illegal to use the ancient capital as a symbol?"

   Ye Sheng grinned: "Someone is talking about this, you say that the old man got it for you, Chang'an Chang'an, Changle Jiu'an, what's wrong?"

   Actually, Chang'an means long-term peace and stability, but this is usually the wish of the emperor, so Ye Sheng was very alert and changed it to Changle.

   Ye Sheng patted Li Xin on the shoulder and smiled: "Children, walk more carefully, if you can live long, my Ye family can live long."

  Li Xin bowed his head slightly and said with a smile: "The Ye family is a towering tree, and the younger generation is nothing but rootless duckweed. The granddaughter of the old prince has already settled with His Majesty. It won't be long before the Ye family is a relative of the royal family."

   Old man Ye shook his head and said, "The most worthless thing in this world is the in-laws of the Tian family. The old man never took this to heart."

After he said that, he turned his head to look at Li Xin and smiled: "Speaking of which, your kid makes this old man more pleasing to the eye and is more affectionate. The old man has two granddaughters, the older one is for Your Majesty, and the other is younger. Yes, or else I will stay with you for two years and let you be a brother-in-law with Your Majesty?"

   Li Xin shook his head again and again: "I dare not delay Miss Ye."

   The old man laughed.

   "Okay, you should still have something to do, so I won't gossip with you, just go."

  Li Xin bent over to say goodbye.

   Ye Mao personally sent him to the gate of Chen Guogong's mansion.

   "Master Li, if you come to my house a few times, I will call your uncle..."

   Li Xin imitated Ye Sheng's appearance and patted the young man on the shoulder with a serious face.

   "Brother Ye, to be honest, I almost became your brother-in-law."

   Ye Mao raised his brows and was about to speak when Li Xin had already run away.

After leaving Chen Guogong's mansion, Li Xin went to Zhongyong Hou's mansion to pay New Year's greetings to the old man Hou Gu. Hou Gu also liked Li Xin very much, and took Li Xin to betroth his granddaughter to Li Xin as a concubine, his granddaughter. Naturally, it was Hou Jingde's daughter. Li Xin thought about Hou's gorilla-like figure, his face turned pale, and he left Zhongyong Hou's mansion as if fleeing.

  When Hou Jingde came out to see him off, Li Xin was nowhere to be seen.

   Although these scenes are ridiculous, they are a microcosm of Li Xin's current status. It is no joke that as long as he releases a word now, those third-rank officials in the capital are willing to stuff their daughters and granddaughters to Li Xin as concubines.

   He could easily open a harem in Jinling City with just one word.

   Even if the Ninth Princess knew about it, it wouldn't matter, because Li Xin's weight now far exceeds that of a princess. Emperor Taikang would not treat Li Xin because of the Ninth Princess.

   It’s just a few words at most.

   However, General Li Dalang, with great perseverance and perseverance, resolutely rejected these temptations.

  Red and pink skeletons are all pink and pink skeletons...

  ………………

  On the fifth day of the first lunar month in the first year of Taikang, Li Xin, who had already arranged the affairs of the capital, led Zhong Xiaoxiao into the carriage together early in the morning, left the capital from the east gate of the city, and walked towards Beishan.

  Yes, this time he is going home with the little girl.

   This girl is very recognizable, and now Jiuniang is hiding and can't take care of her, Li Xin is really worried about leaving this little girl in the capital alone, so he decides to take her back to Yongzhou to see.

  When Emperor Taikang learned the news, he temporarily dispatched 300 Yulin guards to guard Li Xin along the way, saying that he was afraid that the little girl would encounter any danger along the way.

   Li Xin had some doubts. The new emperor was afraid that he would run away with the little girl... That's why he sent so many people to follow him.

However, five hundred people are always stronger than two hundred people. You must know that these are all well-trained elite Yulinwei guards, not those of the local soldiers. It is no exaggeration to say that these five hundred Yulinwei guards , can easily capture Li Xin's hometown of Qiyang County.

   If you encounter any local snakes in Qiyang County and refuse to obey, hehehe...

   When Li Xinli was thinking about what might happen when he returned to his hometown, the carriage had already arrived at Beishan.

  Li Xin took the little girl by the hand and led her to the tomb of the charcoal seller.

   "Come on, kowtow to Grandpa."

   The little girl knelt down with a plop, and couldn't help kowtowing to this rare tomb with a tombstone.

  Li Xin stretched out his hand and pulled her up, shook his head and said, "Enough."

   The little girl turned her head and wiped her tears with her sleeve.

   Rare, did not cry.

   Li Xin also sighed, knelt down on his knees, and kowtowed three times to the charcoal seller.

   "Father, I have raised your granddaughter very well, and will continue to raise it in the future. You can rest easy underground..."

   After offering sacrifices to the charcoal seller, Li Xin burned some paper money on the mound, then walked to another inconspicuous mound, knelt down respectfully, and kowtowed meticulously.

   These two old people lying quietly in Beishan are both Li Xin's saviours, especially his uncle. Without him, there would be no Li Xin today.

   After Li Xin finished kowtowing and got up, the little girl hurriedly knelt on the spot where Li Xin had just knelt, and knelt down again with a plop.

  Li Xin shook his head and said helplessly: "You don't need to kneel on this."

   The little girl respectfully kowtowed nine times, then looked up at Li Xin with a firm gaze.

   "Brother's elders are my elders..."

  Li Xin reached out and touched her head, then turned around and took a few shovels from the carriage.

   He threw it to a few Yulin guards around him, took one himself, and said in a muffled voice, "Dig."

  The death of a guest in a foreign land was one of the greatest regrets in ancient times. Back then, my uncle had to be buried here, so now Li Xin wants to take him home.

   Go back to my hometown in Yongzhou.

   During the process of digging the grave, a few people tried to grab the shovel in Li Xin's hand, thinking of helping General Zhong Lang do more work, but Li Xin glared him back.

   After all, the digging speed of a few people was much faster, and it didn't take long for the uncle's body to be picked up.

  Because there is no coffin, the corpse decomposes quickly.

   Li Xin kowtowed a few times at the remains of his uncle, and then said solemnly: "Look for wood and make a fire."

  The fire raged for an hour or two, and at noon, Li Xin took a clay pot, took his uncle's ashes in with his own hands, and sealed it to death.

  Then the young Marquis of Jing'an held the clay pot in one hand and Zhong Xiaoxiao in the other, and returned to the carriage.

   "Let's go."

  The wheels of the carriage turned slowly and slowly drove to the southwest along the official road.

  After the carriage had gone for an hour, Ye Lin and Hou Jingde reined in their horses at the Shili Pavilion outside the capital, unforgettable.

   Hou Jingde whispered.

   "Brother Li is really not loyal enough. He didn't say hello when he left. Let us send him off."

   Ye Lin squinted to the southwest, but did not speak.
