This is the moody Son of Heaven.

One moment ago, he was smiling at Li Xin, looking like Li Xin was reusing medicine, but the next moment he was still not at ease, and he wanted to see Mu Ying in person.

This is actually not a character, but a means, the emperor, as the supreme of the Ninth Five-Year Plan, must be unpredictable, so that his subordinates can't guess their own thoughts, so that they can deter the courtiers to a certain extent, so that they can be honest.

If the emperor's mind is seen through by his subordinates, then the emperor will not be able to do it for long.

Li Xin bowed slightly and withdrew from Changle Palace.

After walking out of Changle Palace, Li Xin's back was already full of sweat.

In the conversation just now, his whole spirit was in a state of high concentration, like a taut bowstring, and now that he finally passed the test, he immediately exhaled a few long breaths, and the whole person was relieved.

Bullying the emperor is really a technical job, because you don't know what the emperor knows, you can only guess by your own ideas, this kind of guessing is no different from gambling, if you say a wrong word, your head will fall to the ground.

For example, the conversation between Li Xin and the Son of Chengde just now, if Wang Mo of the Guards Battalion had already confessed everything to the Son of Chengde, then what Li Xin said just now was actually looking for death.

Fortunately, Li Xin was right.

He took a few deep breaths before slowly walking out of the palace.

It was the end of July, the most rainy season, and the sky was full of dark clouds, thunder and thunder from time to time, and after a while, bean-sized raindrops fell.

Rain.

When Li Xin ran to Yong'an Gate, the whole person was already wet, but fortunately, his relationship with the internal guard has eased now, and after borrowing an umbrella from the internal guard, he opened the umbrella and walked towards Datongfang.

In the courtyard of Li Xin in Chase Fang.

After Mu Ying saw Li Xin come back, she also breathed a long sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "It's good if you live, I can't die if you live." ”

Li Xin accepted the oil-paper umbrella, wiped the water marks on his body with a towel, and said flatly: "The Son of Heaven wants to see you." ”

"Huh?"

Mu Ying was taken aback: "You're all back, what else did he see me doing?" ”

"Watch your words."

Li Xin lowered his voice: "Now around us, most of the people are staring, if you don't want to die, just be polite to Your Majesty!" ”

Calling the Son of Heaven "he" is a very disrespectful act.

Mu Ying's face was a little unpleasant, and she said in a low voice: "Your Majesty... What did Your Majesty call me to do? ”

"How do I know?"

Li Xin glanced at him and said indifferently: "It's okay, after you go, what he asks you and what you answer, just tell the truth, with your realm, you can't tell a lie in front of the Son of Heaven." ”

Yes, lying also has to have a realm, and ordinary people are trembling when they speak in front of the emperor, let alone lying.

And this thing must not only be bold, but also thick-skinned, like Mu Ying, although she is very bold, her eyes will flicker when she lies, and even Li Xin can see it, let alone His Majesty the Emperor.

Mu Ying himself doesn't have much information in his control, he just followed Li Xing's order to come to Li Xin's side to exchange news, which is not different from Li Xin's words just now, and there will be no problem in saying it.

Mu Ying took a deep breath and said, "Then I'll go?" ”

"Wait."

Mu Ying was overjoyed, turned around and smiled: "I know that Captain Li can't rest assured, do you want to accompany me?" ”

Li Xin glanced at him, pointed to the oil-paper umbrella at the door and said, "I borrowed this umbrella from the internal guard of Yonganmen, you can help me return it to them by the way." ”

“…………”

——————————

This time, the Chengde Son of Heaven was dealt with by Li Xin, but it does not mean that this matter has completely stopped, if Li Yan openly impeached Li Xin during the court meeting, then it cannot be explained with this rhetoric.

In private, the Son of Heaven of Chengde can accept Li Xin's contact with the remnants of Nanshu, but on the bright side, the Son of Heaven will never allow anyone to contact the thief, and if Li Xin can't defend himself, even the Son of Heaven of Chengde may not be able to protect him.

So, this matter has to be followed.

After Li Xin took off his wet clothes and changed into clean clothes, he leaned back on the recliner, closed his eyes and thought about the follow-up strategy, just when Li Xin was about to fall asleep in a daze, there was a knock on the courtyard door.

Li Xin opened his eyes.

Mu Ying usually lives here, he doesn't knock on the door, but now he will come to him, and if he is willing to come to him, he is probably alone.

Li Xin got up and opened the courtyard gate, and sure enough, he saw the Seven Princes holding umbrellas, waiting at the gate of the courtyard.

Li Xin smiled: "Your Highness is looking for me now, aren't you afraid that Your Majesty will think about it?" ”

His Royal Highness King Wei shook his head: "Brother Xin made fun of it, Ji Wenfei is the kind of person who only cares about protecting himself. ”

Li Xinneng came out of the palace, which means that this matter has passed at the emperor's level, and in an imperial country, as long as the emperor says that it has passed, then the rest is all trivial.

The two of them came to the living room of Li Xin's house and sat down, Li Xin went to the kitchen to bring a pot of hot water, first poured a teapot, and then poured a cup of tea for His Royal Highness the prince, and sat down himself, bowed his head and took a sip of tea.

The Seventh Prince first took a sip of tea, and then spoke: "Father...... How so? ”

Li Xin shook his head and said: "It's not clear now, Mu Ying has been summoned into the palace, and it is estimated that he is still questioning at this time, and the specific situation will be known when he comes back." ”

His Royal Highness King Wei put down the teacup and said softly: "This Mu Ying may not be reliable, he should have been killed if he knew it, so there is no proof of death, what we say is what it is." ”

Li Xin shook his head: "Killing him will only show that we are weak-minded, and no matter what we say at that time, Your Majesty will not easily believe it." ”

Speaking of this, Li Xin smiled and said: "But Your Highness don't worry, there shouldn't be any problems, this matter can probably be dealt with in the past, I've been in the capital for a few months, how is the Zhurong wine selling?" ”

"The capital is still restricting sales."

When it came to selling wine, the Seventh Prince looked a lot more excited, and said: "Over there in the proud building, there is an endless stream of people who want to buy every day, and a jar of wine has been fried to seven or eight hundred jars in private. ”

Li Xin nodded and said: "With this effect, we can release the amount of wine sold in an appropriate amount, but the military will soon be able to detect the power of Zhurong wine, and when the time comes, the army will also reach out to the imperial court to ask for it, and His Royal Highness will prepare more to supply the imperial court." ”

Selling liquor to make money is secondary, and the most important thing is to supply it to the military, so that the spirit will have a lot of political implications.

The Seventh Prince nodded, and said with a smile: "Speaking of the family army, Brother Xin went to the north to talk about this kind of family army?" ”

"Ironclad, not leaking."

Li Xin's face became solemn, and he spoke: "Up and down Yunzhou City, you can see the children of the seed family everywhere, these people only listen to the seed Xuantong alone, if the seed Xuantong is no longer loyal to the court that day, then most of the seed family army will not be controlled by the court." ”

"I haven't been controlled by the imperial court in the first place."

The Seventh Prince said with a smile: "The family army has been like this for so many years, a few decades before the founding of the Great Jin Dynasty. In order to protect the Great Jin Dynasty, many people died, which was all real love and merit, so the successive generations of Heavenly Sons did not think about touching them. ”

Li Xin narrowed his eyes.

"People always change."
