Unparalleled Concubine

   Chapter 380 Taking advantage of the situation

   Now, Li Xin already has some family business. It is no longer possible to run everything by himself as before, so it is very important to have a person who runs errands closely.

   This person must be loyal enough.

Originally, Mu Ying could take on this role, but Mu Ying also has his own affairs. He is the right-hand man of Yulinwei, and the sixth-rank official of the imperial court. letter around.

   After thinking about it, only Chen Shiliu is the most suitable.

   This young man, although his talent is not outstanding, and an arm is broken, but he is loyal enough, if one day Chen Shiliu can betray Li Xin...

  Then this world is really bad and boundless.

  Li Xin stayed in the Chen family for a long time, and then decided to bring the Chen family into the city and arrange to live in the Jingan Houfu.

  The Marquis of Jing'an's mansion was the original mansion of the prince of Qi, and it was the size of the mansion of the entire prince. Even Li Xin himself could not count how many rooms and yards there were in his home.

   It would be more appropriate to give the Chen family a set of accommodation, and Chen Shiliu's daughter-in-law used to be the maid of Jing'an Hou's mansion. She went back to live in Jing'an Hou's mansion, and she could also help take care of the family.

   But Mother Chen firmly disagreed.

   This woman in her early forties has a very firm attitude.

   "General Xiao Li, although our family is not big, it was made by the master himself bit by bit..."

   She smiled and said: "There are also a few acres of land in the family, which was also earned by the head of the family when he went to serve as a soldier. He died in the north. These are what he bought with his life. I can't waste his life..."

  Li Xin was silent.

   In this era, most of the peasant households were tenant households, and they farmed and lived for landlords like the Xiao family. If they had a few acres of their own fields, they were considered rich peasants.

  No one is willing to abandon their own fields.

   Li Xin was silent for a while, then nodded and said, "Then I won't embarrass you. This place is not far from the city. If you have any business, come to my house to find me."

   said, Li Xin looked at Chen Shiliu and his wife.

   "They are husband and wife, I will take them away."

   Mother Chen stood up and was about to kowtow to Li Xin.

  Li Xin hurriedly helped her up and said quickly, "Auntie, what are you doing?"

   "General Xiao Li has been taking care of our family. Without General Xiao Li, our family would probably collapse now."

   This typical rural woman wiped her tears and choked: "I know that General Li is looking at the boss's sake..."

  Li Xin shook his head: "I shouldn't have died on the first day of the first year, I'm sorry for him."

   When Xiao Chenji fought, the thirty-nine people didn't deserve to die, but they died.

   This is the first time in Li Xin's life that he has seen large-scale dead people, and it is because of him that he still rises up. Until now, he has not overcome this hurdle in his heart.

   said, Li Xin glanced at Chen Shiliu's broken arm.

   "You entrusted Sixteen to me again, and I couldn't take good care of him. It was Li Xin who was sorry for the Chen family."

   "Alas, this is their life."

   Mother Chen sighed and said softly, "Without General Li, we will only have a harder time."

   Li Xin patted her on the back and comforted: "Auntie, don't worry, there will be no troubles in the future. Sixteen and his daughter-in-law will live in my house, and I will let him come back to see you when I have time."

   "I'll leave it to General Xiao Li."

   In the end, Li Xin took Chen Shiliu and his wife, as well as the little girl in the seventh day, and left Chenjia Village.

   But on the seventh day of the first day, I only went to the city to play for a few days, and I had to come back in a few days. Otherwise, Mother Chen would be too lonely in the village alone.

   On the way, Li Xin did not ride a horse, but took the hand of the seventh day and walked all the way.

  Chen Shiliu led Li Xin's horse and followed behind Li Xin, watching the Jing'an Houfu amusing his sister and talking about some interesting things in the capital.

   "My family, there is a little sister, but she is five or six years younger than you. She will stay at my house for a few days on the seventh day of the first day of the first year. Would you like to play with her?"

   Eleven or twelve-year-old on the seventh day of the first day of the city, with big eyes blinking.

"it is good."

   Li Xin smiled brightly.

   When facing other people, his smile is somewhat false, but when facing the Chen family, he is much more sincere.

  …………

   The next day, after Li Xin arranged the accommodation for the Chen Shiliu family, he went to the palace.

   First, he wanted to pick up Zhong Xiaoxiao, and secondly, he wanted to communicate with the emperor about "apprenticeship".

   After entering the palace, Li Xin did not rush to go to Kunde Palace, but went directly to Weiyang Palace.

   He had a special position in the new dynasty, and he wanted to see the Son of Heaven, naturally, all the way smoothly, and soon he was waiting outside the palace of Weiyang Palace.

  Today is July 23, there is no small court meeting and there is no big court meeting. The emperor does not need to go to court, but today, the son is summoning several court officials from the household department, so he needs to wait.

   About half an hour later, Li Xin saw the bearded minister of the household and a few servants walking out of the gate of the palace.

If I remember correctly, the surname Xu and the name Xu Zhi should be Xu Zhi. He used to be the left servant of the household. Later, when the original minister of the household, Ji Ku, became the prince of the East Palace, he took a logical step forward. .

   Li Xin stepped forward and nodded to this Xu Shangshu.

   "Xu Shangshu is good."

  Xu Zhi was stunned for a while, he had never heard of this way of greeting, and immediately replied subconsciously: "Hello, Li Shilang."

   The two passed by.

  Li Xin walked into the study room of Weiyang Palace, where Emperor Taikang frowned.

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

   He did not kneel.

   In fact, except for the more solemn scenes where kneeling is required, on other occasions, ministers do not have to kneel when they see the emperor, but this does not prevent some kowtowers from kneeling when they see the emperor.

  The emperor waved to Li Xin.

   "Chang'an is here, come and sit down."

   Xiao Zheng, a young eunuch, moved a chair for Li Xin.

   Li Xin was not polite. After sitting down, he asked, "Is your majesty in trouble?"

   "For some disaster relief matters, the Ministry of Household said that all places are reporting the disaster situation and asking the imperial court for disaster relief."

   "I have been on the throne for more than half a year, and there have been constant droughts and floods in various places, and the earth dragon has turned over, which has made me very annoying."

The emperor complained with some distress: "There is nothing at all, the father has accumulated a lot of money and grain in the treasury, which is enough to relieve disasters, but there are disasters everywhere, and some people who have a heart began to spread rumors, saying that the heaven is omen, the emperor does not Germany."

   He sighed.

   "Forget it, don't talk about it, I will send someone to deal with it."

  He looked up at Li Xin and forced a smile: "Changan, you came to me, what's the matter?"

Li Xin was stunned for a while, then came back to his senses, lowered his head and said, "That's right, His Majesty and the minister said a few days ago... After the matter of the forbidden army, the minister went back to think hard, and finally came up with an idea, and came to discuss it with His Majesty. ."

   "My marquis of Jing'an is really wise, and he came up with a solution so quickly."

  The emperor clapped his hands and smiled: "I am worried about this matter. With the Imperial Army in my hands, I don't have to worry about what those people say, Chang'an, let's talk!"

Li Xin bowed his head and said, "Your Majesty, this subject is not qualified enough, nor has enough reputation, to be in charge of the Imperial Army, and Chen Guogong Ye Cheng is famous all over the world, and everyone in the court and the public admires it. ."

  The Emperor frowned.

   "How to borrow?"

   Li Xin lowered his head and said, "If Mr. Ye can accept his minister as a disciple... then he can borrow it..."

The emperor's eyes lit up, and then he frowned and said: "This is a way, Ye Guogong is my great Jin war god, Chang'an, you have the name of this Yemen disciple, and it is very logical to take charge of the forbidden army, but Ye Guogong has not appeared for more than ten years. I'm afraid he won't agree."

   "That's why the minister came to see His Majesty."

  Li Xin lowered his head and said, "If Your Majesty goes to Chen Guogong's mansion to intercede in person, I think that Ye Gongye will see His Majesty's face and accept me reluctantly..."
