Unparalleled Concubine

   Chapter 357 God Count Li Xin

Qiyang County is two or three thousand miles away from the capital, so far away, even if the decree is announced, one of the eight prisons should be in charge of Cheng Xuan. And let him guard the mausoleum.

Li Xin pulled Dong Cheng into the main hall of the Qi family compound, the two sat down, Li Xin poured a cup of tea for Dong Cheng himself, and asked with a serious face, "Eunuch Dong, what happened in the capital? "

Dong Cheng glanced at Li Xin gratefully, took the cup of tea, and then sighed: "It's our family's carelessness, Your Majesty asked our family to place the deceased emperor's spiritual seat in the ancestral temple, our family... Put the spiritual seat of the Queen Mother Xuan. On the side of the late emperor, Xiao Zheng grabbed the handle and filed a complaint before His Majesty, saying that our family despised the queen mother..."

The Empress Dowager Xuan was the original wife of the Emperor Chengde, Empress Xuan, who died of illness early and did not leave any heirs. The Emperor Chengde did not have an empress later, so the later princes were all not direct sons. After the Emperor Chengde left, Empress Xuan naturally became the empress dowager. According to the rules, there is no problem in placing it on the side of the late emperor's spiritual position.

but…

   When the son has a biological mother today, the original concubine Shu has become the queen mother, so Dong Cheng is a bit taboo to do so.

  According to Xiao Zheng's meaning, the late emperor's side position should be temporarily suspended and left to the current queen mother. Although this is not in accordance with the etiquette system, it is very suitable for the current sage's mind.

   Therefore, the emperor was a little displeased with Dong Cheng, just as he wanted to order Li Xin to return to Beijing, he threw the job to Dong Cheng, out of sight and out of mind.

   After hearing this, Li Xin shook his head and sighed: "Eunuch Dong is too sincere. Even if Eunuch is not sure about this kind of thing, at least you have to ask..."

   Dong Cheng said with a bitter face: "Master Hou, our family asked His Majesty in advance, but His Majesty did not respond..."

   Nonsense, this kind of sensitive matter, if the emperor does not respond positively, his attitude is already obvious, okay?

  Li Xin shook his head and said, "Eunuch Dong should not ask His Majesty, but should ask Eunuch Chen."

   Eunuch Chen is Chen Ju. Now he is guarding the mausoleum in the emperor's mausoleum. However, although Chen Ju is no longer in the center, he is still the **** serving the inner eunuch, and temporarily the **** with the highest status among the eight prisons.

   Dong Cheng blushed slightly and sighed: "After that incident, our family has always felt a little sorry for godfather, and has been embarrassed to see him..."

Li Xin took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "Dong Gonggong thinks wrong, Chen Gonggong will not blame you for that matter anyway, you are his adopted son, but Xiao Zheng has nothing to do with him. If you can visit the Emperor Xian’s mausoleum often, he will most likely be able to help you a lot.”

Chen Ju has been in charge of the Forbidden Palace for nearly 20 years. Whether it is his connections in the court or his ability to be a person and do things, he is much better than Dong Cheng. If he can point Dong Cheng, he will be able to use it endlessly. .

   Dong Cheng's eyes lit up, then dimmed.

   "If Lord Hou could have been in the capital, he would have reminded our family a few words earlier, and our family would not have fallen to the point where it is today."

   He let out a long sigh and said slowly, "Godfather said before that we didn't have the life of being a servant **** in our family. At that time, our family was quite dissatisfied. Now it seems that he has a good eye..."

Li Xin shouldn't have participated in the affairs of the inner court, but if he can get acquainted with the young prisoner and even the eunuch, it will be of great benefit to his political career, which is why he would tell Dong Cheng this. Chatty.

   Li Xin smiled: "It's not urgent, no matter what, Eunuch Dong is still the young supervisor of the inner guard, and there is always a chance."

   said, he looked at Dong Cheng and said seriously: "Eunuch Dong, Your Majesty is so anxious to call me back to Beijing, what's the matter?"

   "Our family is not clear about the specifics, His Majesty just asked the Hou Ye to return to Beijing as soon as possible..."

   Li Xin frowned and asked, "Then Eunuch Dong, tell me, what happened in the capital during the time I was away from the capital?"

  Dong Cheng nodded and said, "Ye Lin, Marquis of Ningling, left the capital a few days ago and went to be a lieutenant in the Zhenbei Army."

   This is a normal thing. Before the mutiny, one of the conditions of the Wei Wangfu's promise to the Ye family was to release Ye Lin out of the capital. Now the Emperor Taikang can be said to have fulfilled his promise.

   He nodded and asked, "Where's Ye Mao?"

   Dong Cheng shook his head and said, "The young master of the Ye family was unable to leave Beijing."

   This is where the new emperor broke his trust. When Li Xin spoke with the Ye family on behalf of the Wei palace, he agreed that Ye Mao could also leave the capital. Now Ye Lin went to the north, but Ye Mao did not.

   But it is also possible that Ye Sheng did not let his grandson leave.

  Dong Cheng lowered his head and continued: "Furthermore, Chong Shuai was named Taibao by His Majesty, and he resigned from the position of the Imperial Army some time ago, and went back to Yunzhou, while Chong's grandson Chong Heng..."

   Having said that, Dong Cheng paused.

   Before he could speak, Li Xin had already laughed and said, "Chong Heng is the general of the Qianniu Guard?"

  Dong Cheng took a deep breath, got up and said to Li Xin, "Master Hou is a genius, my family admires it."

In fact, there is no such thing as a god's calculation. The Qianniuwei yamen was established to check and balance Yulinwei. In such a crucial position, there are not many choices for the emperor. First of all, the Pingnanhou mansion is definitely not good. The other emperors They were not trustworthy enough. As for the Ye family and the Hou family, they had to wear a pair of trousers with Li Xin, which would not achieve the goal of restraining Yu Lin Wei.

   So there are only seed families left with the country.

  The Great Jin Dynasty has been established for more than a hundred years. From Emperor Taizu to Emperor Chengde, the seven generations of emperors have trusted the family very much, and now the emperor of Taikang will also trust the family very much. After all, the family has no motive or possibility of betrayal.

   "It's not a magic calculation, just guess."

   Li Xin squinted his eyes and said, "I and Mu Ying are not in the capital. If I guessed correctly, the Qianniu guards now have more than Yulin guards."

   Dong Cheng lowered his head and did not speak.

  Li Xin added a cup of tea to Dong Cheng, and said with a smile, "Eunuch Dong continues."

  Dong Cheng nodded and said, "There have been changes in the three provinces, and the six ministers have changed each other... Huan Xiang... is now serving."

  Li Xin's face changed slightly.

One emperor and one courtier, after each new emperor ascends the throne, the provincial and ministerial personnel will be rearranged. This is a normal thing, but even now, it has only been three months since the new emperor ascended the throne. Saisuke candidates, some... too anxious.

   As for the replacement of the six books, there is no problem. After all, in the Chengde Dynasty, four of the six books were held by several princes. At this time, it was natural to re-select the books.

   Li Xin asked Dong Cheng about the six specific candidates in detail.

   Among them, the Minister of War is still Li Shenchang, and the other ministers are usually promoted by Zuo Shilang.

   There's nothing wrong with this, but Li Xin didn't think about it because Huan Chu left the prime minister.

  This upright old man once mentioned a few words to Li Xin, and Li Xin went to pay him New Year greetings during the Chinese New Year.

   Li Xin and Dong Cheng had been talking for more than half an hour, but after listening to the major events in the capital, Li Xin still didn't hear anything.

   He slowly looked in the direction of the capital, a little puzzled in his heart.

   That former highness of the King of Wei, why did he call me back?
