Unparalleled Concubine

   Chapter 373

In the very reluctant retention of the little fat man, Li Xin still took the nine princesses to leave Yuezhou City. On the way, they only stopped in Hengshan and Huangshan for two days each, and took the nine princesses up the mountain to see the scenery and worshipped Buddha. After that, he entered Beijing from the official road.

   On the thirteenth day of July in the first year of Taikang, Li Xin and others finally arrived at the gate of the capital.

   After more than half a year, Li Xin looked at the capital again and felt a little unfamiliar.

   In the past six months, he has left this power center, which has advantages and disadvantages. The disadvantage is naturally that he has missed a lot of opportunities to gain profits, and he has not been able to stand in the best position in the process of power shuffling.

The advantage of    is that his whole person has settled down.

   The previous Li Xin, from a poor boy to the Marquis of Jing'an, the third-rank servant of the imperial court, really took no more than a year, too fast too fast.

  With the precipitation of the past six months, Li Xin is now much calmer.

When the team arrived at the gate of the capital, Li Xin gathered all the soldiers of Yulinwei together, and said in a deep voice, "Because of Li's personal affairs, you have followed me out of Beijing since the end of the year. , traveled thousands of miles back and forth, and traveled half a big Jin, it was hard work."

   In this era, it is normal to go out for more than half a year, and some people even go out for several years, ten years, or even a lifetime.

   These Yulin guards all said in unison: "It is my duty to be humble!"

   Li Xin smiled and said, "I haven't come back for more than half a year. I finally got to the capital and gave everyone a ten-day vacation. After ten days, I will return to Yulin Wei Yamen to report."

   Having said that, Li Xin took out some money orders from Chase Bank from his sleeves and handed them to a school captain, Shen Gang.

   "Shen Gang, this is 1,000 coins. You can find a bank to exchange it and give two coins to each of the brothers."

  There is no Datong Bank in a place like Yongzhou, but there are in the capital. When you get here, you can finally experience the speed of "paper money" again.

   "Thank you, General Zhonglang."

   The five hundred Yulin guards also smiled happily: "Thank you, General Zhonglang!"

   Li Xin said with a stern face: "In these ten days, you can go out for a drink, but don't do anything wrong. I'll wait for the emperor to lead you personally, so don't lose your Majesty's face."

"Yes!"

   After these Yulinwei said these words, they dispersed giggling.

  Shen Gang shouted: "Don't go away, you won't get the money, and you will complain again!"

   Five hundred people immediately followed Shen Gang.

   The two hundred Qianniu guards on the other side looked at Yu Linwei with envy.

   But there is no way, this is Yu Linwei's reward, they can only stare.

  Mu Ying followed behind Li Xin and said with a smile, "Master Hou is so generous."

  Li Xin smiled without saying a word.

He is indeed very rich, not to mention the current income of the proud building, 20% of the money sold in Zhurongjiu was sent to him, that is, after Emperor Taikang ascended the throne, the money was used to form Qianniuwei , then stopped.

   The current Li Xin, although he does not have a lot of money, he always has a family wealth of tens of thousands of dollars.

   Mu Ying smiled: "Master Hou, where is my money?"

   Li Xin glanced back at him: "Do you want to have two?"

   Mu Ying shook her head again and again, raised her head and said, "With my grade, there should be one or two dozen."

   "No, just play."

   Li Xin left the general Mu Lang and walked to the carriage in the Princess Mansion. In the carriage, the Ninth Princess was playing Gobang with Zhong Xiaoxiao.

   It was one of the few pastimes the three of them had along the way.

After the carriage drove into the capital, Li Xin turned back and lifted the curtain.

   "Your Highness, the capital has arrived."

  Her Royal Highness, the Eldest Princess, stretched out while making moves on the chessboard and slapped herself on the shoulder.

   "It's finally here. I've been tossing me to death on the way. I must have a good night's sleep when I go back."

   Li Xin smiled and said, "Are you going to the Princess' Mansion or my Hou's Mansion?"

   Nine princesses blushed.

   "Of course I'm going to the Princess Mansion. What are you going to do in your Hou Mansion?"

   Li Xin gave a small smile: "The princess' mansion has already arrived."

   They entered the city from the south gate. Datongfang is in the south of the capital, while Yonglefang is in the north of the city, so the two have to separate here.

   The nine princesses felt a little sullen.

   "It's all because of you, otherwise why would this princess live in Datongfang?"

Although Her Royal Highness the eldest princess didn't want to get off the bus, she had no choice. After all, the two of them weren't married yet, so they couldn't live in the Jinganhou mansion. After the carriage arrived at the gate of the Qinghe Princess mansion, she could only get off with Zhong Xiaoxiao. carriage.

The princess held Zhong Xiaoxiao in her arms and said to Li Xin, "Go on your own, I'll play with Xiaoxiao for a few days and let her play chess with me. Cui'er is very stupid and doesn't know how to play chess. Down."

   Tweety is her maid.

   Actually, it's not that Tweety can't play, she just doesn't dare to win the eldest princess.

   Another reason why Princess Jiu kept Xiaoxiao was that Li Xin wanted to see her as soon as possible. After all, Li Xin always wanted to bring her sister back.

  Li Xin squeezed Zhong's small cheeks and asked with a smile, "Is it okay for Xiaoxiao to accompany the princess here?"

  Zhong Xiaoxiao nodded obediently.

"it is good."

  This girl is afraid of strangers, but after getting used to it, she is not afraid. The nine princesses have been with her for almost a few months, and naturally they are very familiar with each other.

   After saying goodbye to the Ninth Princess, Li Xin jumped into the pure black carriage in the Jingan Houfu.

   This color is actually not very auspicious, but because the color of Yu Linwei is also black, it looks cool.

The carriage went all the way in the direction of Yonglefang, and stopped at the entrance of the Jinganhou mansion.

   Li Xin first took a shower at home, then changed into the uniform of a military officer and returned to the carriage.

   "Enter the palace."

  The carriage slowly drove towards the imperial city.

   Emperor Taikang urged him to return to Beijing. Now that he is back, he has to go to the palace to meet the new emperor anyway.

  The carriage stopped at the gate of Yonganmen, Li Xin jumped out of the carriage and looked up.

   In front of Yonganmen Gate, it is still guarded by imperial guards, dressed in blue and red respectively.

  Red is the inner guard, and blue is the Qianniu guard.

  Since the change of Chengde Palace last year, Emperor Taikang has reformed the "access control" system. As the gate of the imperial city, Yonganmen Gate now needs at least two of the three guards of the inner guard, Yulin guard, and Qianniu guard to be on duty at the same time.

   The reason for this change is that when the Sui Palace changed last year, Yu Linwei took control of Yong'an Gate and opened the gate of this imperial city, the middle gate.

   So Emperor Taikang was very insecure.

   Li Xin secretly sighed.

   This is the serious "crossing the river and demolishing the bridge".

   But there is nothing wrong with this approach. This bridge can only be crossed by one person. After one person walks over the bridge, it will be impossible for future generations to pass.

  The descendants of all summers are best at learning lessons.

   "Who is coming?"

   Neiwei and Qianniuwei stopped Li Xin at the same time.

   Li Xin coughed and said with a smile, "Why, I can't even enter Yong'an Gate now?"

  In the past, even if the inner guard was on duty at Yong'anmen, Li Xin could enter unimpeded, and he only needed to be notified when he was at the gate of the inner palace.

   "Report your name, I'll report it to the adults!"

   During the last palace change, Neiwei almost died out, and Qianniuwei was a new establishment. It was normal for them not to know Li Xin.

   At this time, a young **** rushed over in a panic.

   He bent towards Li Xin and said, "Master Hou, Your Majesty has been waiting for you in Weiyang Palace for a long time."

   This little **** was Xiao Zheng, the inner **** who pushed Dong Cheng down.

  Li Xin smiled.

   "Okay, Eunuch Xiao will lead the way."
