As the situation in the capital gradually stabilized, taking the opportunity of Li Xin's treat, Mu Ying, Li Shuo and others all wanted to take this opportunity to persuade Li Xin to take the throne as soon as possible, but as soon as Li Xin changed his words and mentioned the matter of Northern Xinjiang, these three people had a tacit understanding and did not say anything.

This meal lasted for more than an hour, and the four of them drank with red faces and thick necks, and it was over, and it was only afternoon, Li Xin staggered to his feet, and let a few juniors support their respective parents, and they had drunk to this point, Li Xin was naturally ready to let these people stay in his house to rest for a while, but Mu Ying and Li Shuo were only slightly drunk, and there was no big problem, so they all left with their families, only the right servant of Shangshutai shot Zhao Jia, who had the shallowest amount of alcohol, and fell directly to the ground unconscious.

Li Xin instructed the subordinates of the Hou Mansion to prepare the room, and asked Zhao Yi to help his father go down to rest.

After the banquet was dispersed, Li Xin himself was also a little tired, holding his head a little swollen and painful, and went back to his room in the backyard.

At this time, the ninth princess was packing up the bits and pieces brought from the southwest in the room, and when she saw Li Xin stumbling in, she quickly got up and helped Li Xin, and sighed softly: "Drink and drink, where can I drink for an hour or two?" This family still depends on you to support you, and if you drink and hurt your body......"

Li Xin was supported by her to sit on the edge of the bed, shook his head and smiled bitterly: "I have to drink the wine that should be drunk, these are all companions who share weal and woe with our family......"

The Ninth Princess snorted lightly.

"So far, if you don't drink, will anyone dare to make you drink?"

Governor Li smiled bitterly: "It's just a group of friends getting together, how dare you say this?" ”

The ninth princess helped him to lie on the bed, then sat on the edge of the bed by herself, took Li Xin's somewhat cold hand, and frowned: "Your body is afraid of cold, and you don't know how to wear more in winter." ”

After saying this, she got up and picked up the bamboo clip next to the bed, added a few pieces of carbon to the copper stove next to her, and then gently picked it, the charcoal fire gradually grew, and the room suddenly warmed up.

Li Xin was half-lying on the bed, looking at the ninth princess who was busy working beside him, and asked softly, "Madam, are you ...... You won't blame me, right? ”

The ninth princess paused, put down the bamboo clip in her hand, sat next to Li Xin, and sighed with a complicated expression,

"Over the years, I have been in the southwest, and I often think, if you don't have such ability, it would be good, you don't have to be Jing'anhou, and you don't have to be a general, we will live in the Horse Mansion after we get married, you get me some food every day, and then the two of us will grow up a few children together, and live a plain life, which is also good."

She took Li Xin's hand and spoke in a quiet tone.

"It's a pity that you're too capable, like ...... Just like Master Ye. ”

The ninth princess held Li Xin's hand with her hand, and while warming him, she said softly: "I know your temperament, you will never be locked up at home like Master Ye, and you will be locked up for decades at a time. ”

Li Xin lay on the bed and slowly closed his eyes: "Actually, Master Ye himself refuses to be locked up for decades. ”

"His temper is much more irritable than mine."

Compared with Li Xin, Ye Sheng is definitely short-tempered, but the master and apprentice have embarked on two diametrically opposite paths, which does not mean that Ye Sheng is more cowardly than Li Xin, but the environment in which the two people grew up is completely different, resulting in their world view, outlook on life, and values are all different.

The ninth princess pulled the quilt on Li Xin's body up, and then continued: "Don't worry, after I married you more than ten years ago, I will be the Li family. ”

She gently pulled open the quilt, lay down beside Li Xin, and slowly closed her eyes.

"Just for the children."

After saying this, she lay quietly in Li Xin's arms, her voice soft.

"I want to go to Zhaoling to see my father."

Speaking of this, she paused, and then continued: "There is also Seventh Brother. ”

Li Xin didn't open his eyes, and his tone was gentle.

"You can go wherever you want."

………………

This sleep until the evening, Li Xin got up from the "gentle township", the winter days are short, the sky is almost dark at this time, the temperature is a little lower than the day, Li Xin put on a thick coat, walked out of his yard, and walked into the warm pavilion in the backyard.

He sat down at the low table in the warm pavilion, then lit the small stove and made tea carefully.

The way of drinking tea in this era is not quite the same as the way of drinking tea in later generations, and all kinds of strange condiments are often added to the tea, such as mare's milk spices, etc., but Li Xin drinks tea, and he has always drunk boiled tea, and even with Zhao Jia and others, he also followed him to drink this kind of white water tea.

After the teapot in front of Li Xin boiled twice, a middle-aged man dressed in white came to the door of the warm pavilion under the guidance of the Hou Mansion's subordinates and sat down opposite Li Xin.

Li Xin Baibu pinched the steaming teapot in front of him, poured a cup of tea for Zhao Jia in front of him, and then filled the teacup in front of him, and then said with a smile: "After Zhao Fu became the prime minister, he was able to sleep a lot more than before, and he woke up at this time." ”

Zhao Jia rubbed his swollen temples and said with a wry smile: "I really drank too much, Master Hou, you poured me wine at noon, where can I support it?" ”

He blew a few breaths, a cup of hot tea went down to his stomach, and a breath of hot air grew, and the whole person felt a lot more comfortable.

He looked up at Li Xin and asked softly, "Master Hou deliberately drunk me, is there something you want to talk to me about?" ”

Li Xin himself took a sip of tea, and spit out a white mist from his mouth.

"Mu Ying and Li Shuo, they wholeheartedly want me to ascend to the throne as soon as possible, depending on what they mean, it won't be long before they will have to be crowned with a yellow robe."

Li Xin glanced up at Zhao Jia and said softly, "What do you mean, Brother You'an?" ”

Although he didn't quite understand the allusion of "yellow robe plus body", Zhao Jia could guess some of the superficial meaning, he held the teacup in front of him in his hand, and smiled slightly: "Master Hou, you don't need to ask me this question." ”

"Everyone in the southwest family wants Hou Ye to ascend the throne as soon as possible, so that he can transform himself and become a founding hero, and I am naturally no exception, after all, Hou Ye ascended the throne one day earlier, and we people can rest assured one day earlier."

Li Xin frowned slightly, and continued to ask, "Then Brother You'an, do you think the time is right now?" ”

"As long as Master Hou has this will, it will be appropriate at any time."

Zhao Jia's face was calm, and he said with a smile: "The difference is only in how many people you want to kill, at this time, as long as Hou Ye is ruthless and kills all the Ji family's clans, no one in the court will speak up against Hou Ye taking this step, as for the matter of killing, there is no need for Hou Ye to do it yourself." ”

"General Mu and General Li will be happy to do this."

Governor Li frowned and said: "The problem is that the hearts of the people of the Ji family have not been lost, and at this time, the world has changed its surname, and it is not only the Ji family's clan that wants to be killed, but also thousands of people in the world." ”

"That's why I didn't rush to persuade Hou Ye to be in the right position."

Zhao Jia finished drinking the tea in the cup, reached out and lifted the teapot, filled his own cup and Li Xin's cup respectively, and then continued: "Of course, there are not too many problems in doing this, the common people are always afraid of death, kill some people to show them, it doesn't matter what the people are like or not." ”

He looked up at Li Xin, his voice a little low.

"The key is to look at you, Master Hou, what are your thoughts?"
