After the enthronement ceremony of the Emperor of Yuan Zhao was completed, the new dynasty was basically settled, and then as long as he quietly waited for the new emperor to become an adult, the waves caused by the collapse of the emperor of Taikang in the dark of the capital slowly calmed down.

After coming out of Shangshutai, Li Xin went to the harem and brought the ninth princess back from Kunde Palace, and the couple left the palace from Yong'an Gate together and got into their own carriage.

Chen Sixteen waved his horsewhip, and the carriage slowly walked towards the Jing'an Hou Mansion.

In the carriage, the ninth princess shook her husband's hand and asked, "Is there something Shangshutai is looking for you?" ”

She is from a royal background, and she is very clear about the official system of the imperial court, so she naturally knows what kind of status Shang Shutai has in the imperial court, not to mention that if she is young today, Shang Shutai is the two ministers and auxiliary ministers, and aside from military affairs, today's Shang Shutai is acting for the king.

Shang Shutai inexplicably looked for Li Xin, and the ninth princess naturally wanted to ask.

"It's not a big deal."

Li Xin said with a smile: "Some small things about Your Majesty have been dealt with. ”

The ninth princess nodded and said softly: "Now most of the authority of the imperial court is in Shangshutai, so Shangshutai is also the most eye-catching, you are okay or don't have anything to do with them, let's live by ourselves." ”

Li Xin smiled and nodded.

"What Your Highness said is that your husband will do it and never interact with those old men again."

The couple have been married for many years, and the title "Your Highness" has long been abandoned, and now when it comes to it, most of it is ridiculous.

The Ninth Princess snorted lightly, turned her head and ignored Li Xin.

While the couple were talking, the carriage suddenly stopped.

Li Xin frowned slightly.

He has walked too many times on the road home from Yong'an Gate, and he is already familiar with the time to go home and which sections of the road to go through, and he knows his current location very well, and there are still two or three turns to get to the Jing'an Hou Mansion.

So he asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Chen Sixteen, who was driving, turned around, lifted the curtain, and said in a deep voice: "Master Hou, someone is blocking the road." ”

The Marquis of Jing'an poked his head out of the curtain of the car and saw a richly dressed, purple-clothed, young man of about fifteen or sixteen years old, who was stopping in front of the carriage of the Marquis of Jing'an.

Behind this young man, there were also a dozen or so strong men, who seemed to be his guards.

Although the young man blocked the way, his attitude was very good, and he was deeply impressed by the carriage of the Marquis of Jing'an.

"Ji Kai, the prince of Qi, ask to see the Marquis of Jing'an."

After he said this, he lowered his head and said, "I've seen my aunt." ”

After Li Xin heard this, his body, which had been leaning out, immediately shrank back.

Ji Huan's son?

He frowned at first, and then quickly reacted to Guo Lei, and said in a deep voice to Chen Shiliu: "Ignore him, hit him." ”

"Life or death!"

Chen Sixteen has followed Li Xin for many years, and he understands Li Xin's meaning very well, as soon as Li Xin's voice fell, he waved his horsewhip, and the two white horses pulling the cart immediately neighed loudly, no longer caring that someone was blocking him, and crashed into it.

This prince of Qi is naturally not a fool, in the face of such a big car, it is estimated that he will die on the streets of the capital with his body, he was startled and hurriedly avoided it.

By the time he reacted, the black carriage of the Marquis of Jing'an had already left.

At the same time, the Marquis of Jing'an in the carriage was full of bad luck.

At this time, even the Ninth Princess on the side saw that something was wrong, and she frowned and said, "Fourth brother's son, why did you come to us?" ”

The new Son of Heaven ascended the throne, and even if the vassal kings of various places could not leave the vassal country, they could send the prince to Beijing to worship, so it was not surprising that the prince of Qi appeared in the capital, and it was strange why he came to stop Li Xin's carriage.

You must know that it is a great taboo for the ministers of the imperial court, especially the ministers who lead the troops, to make friends with the clan, not to mention the prince of the Qi Palace, who failed to seize the heir ten years ago and was driven out of the capital to become a vassal.

More importantly, once the two sides come into contact, not only the ministers will be suspicious of the imperial court, but also the vassal kings themselves will be more suspicious, and the future will be even more difficult.

Even if His Royal Highness the King of Qi really has something to do to find Li Xin, he shouldn't let his son stop Li Xin's carriage in Yongle Fang.

"He did it on purpose."

Li Xin, who was sitting in the carriage, squinted his eyes.

"His Royal Highness the King of Qi, the thief is immortal, and wants to take this opportunity to stir up contradictions between the court and our family."

Li Xin took a deep breath: "He wants the imperial court to be more suspicious of me, and it is best to make me unable to mix in the capital, so that he can have a chance to take the next step." ”

Speaking of this, the Marquis of Jing'an slowly closed his eyes.

"It's been more than ten years, and your fourth brother is still not right-minded, and his thief heart is not dead."

The ninth princess was a little panicked, and she whispered, "Then what should I do?" ”

"It's okay, if this kid secretly comes to our house to look for me, it may be a little useful, but he is openly stopping us in Yongle Fang, as long as a discerning person can see the flaws at a glance."

Speaking of this, Li Xin said to Chen Sixteen: "Most of this kid will come again, Sixteen, you tell the concierge to stop it directly, and say that I haven't seen a guest recently." ”

Chen Sixteen nodded slightly.

"Got it."

While speaking, the carriage had stopped at the gate of the Hou Mansion, and Li Xin and the Ninth Princess got off one after another, and then ordered again: "Remember, except for the washing machine of the people in the palace in the past three days, no matter who comes, they will not be seen." ”

Chen Sixteen lowered his head and said, "Don't worry, Hou Ye, I will definitely do it for Hou Ye." ”

Only then did Li Xin and the eldest princess step into the Jing'an Hou Mansion.

As soon as the two of them walked in, the door of the Hou Mansion was closed, which meant that in the past few days, the Jing'an Hou Mansion would not entertain any guests.

However, this kind of closed door only lasted for one day, and by the afternoon of the next day, a group of purple-clothed eunuchs broke through the defense line of the Hou Mansion Gatehouse and successfully entered the Hou Mansion.

This group of purple-clothed eunuchs, led by Xiao Zheng's godson Xiao Huai, was holding a scroll of holy decrees in his hand, and he was here to deliver the decree to Li Xin.

When the holy decree arrived, the Hou Mansion naturally did not dare not win, and after a while, Li Xin took his family and prepared to kneel in the main hall to receive the holy decree.

But when the family members of the Hou Mansion had just arrived at the main hall and were about to set up a case to burn incense and welcome the holy decree, Xiao Huai waved his hand at Li Xin again and again, and smiled flatteringly: "No big gift, no big gift, just take it and see it directly." ”

As he spoke, he was about to hand the holy decree into Li Xin's hands.

Li Xin stretched out his hand to take the holy decree and nodded slightly at Xiao Huai: "There is Gonggong Lao." ”

Xiao Huai had a smile on his face.

"It's not hard, it's not hard, it's a blessing for a slave to be able to send a holy decree of ascension to Lord Hou."

Li Xin heard the word "high promotion". His brow furrowed.

He had seen the holy decree many times, and he was familiar with unfolding the holy decree, and soon the holy decree was slowly unfolded by him, and the entire main hall of the Jing'an Hou Mansion immediately knelt down.

Li Xin glanced at it and saw the most critical line.

"Li Xin, the Taibao, is the Taifu of the Dynasty and the General of the Pillar State."

Except for this line of words, the other words on the holy decree have no effect, Li Xin simply swept it down, and saw the location of the holy decree.

Here, it was supposed to be stamped with a jade seal.

But at this time, in addition to the jade seal, there are four full private seals at the registration office, and there are also signatures of four auxiliary ministers.

In other words, all four of their auxiliaries agreed.

The Marquis of Jing'an glanced at the holy decree a few times, and then smiled.

"There is a trip to Father-in-law Lao Xiao, the content of this holy decree ......"

"I see."
