Above the court, you can not understand anything else, and there is only one thing that must be understood, that is, you must know how to advance and retreat, when you should advance, you must not give in, and when you should not enter, you must take a few steps back without hesitation.

For example, the current Pingnan Hou Mansion, the big-character poster incident in the capital, originally no matter what, the Pingnan Hou Mansion will also be implicated, and the minimum fine is also required, although the Pingnan Hou Mansion does not care about the money, but as long as the official punishment is down, the face of the Pingnan Hou Mansion will be gone.

However, the emperor had an old relationship with the Li family and was unwilling to embarrass the Pingnan Hou Mansion, so he only let Dong Cheng secretly go to the Pingnan Hou Mansion to scold Mrs. Yu, and there was no official punishment at all, but that Jingzhao Yin Li Ye fell into bad luck, and fell from the position of the third product to the fourth product for no reason.

This is the difference between intimacy and intimacy in the imperial era, sometimes it doesn't matter what you do, what matters is who you are.

After Dong Cheng left the Pingnan Hou Mansion, the Pingnan Hou Mansion closed its doors and announced that it would be closed from today onwards, and Jing Zhaoyin, who had fallen into blood mold, was not only demoted, but also continued to work in Jingzhao Mansion bitterly, which can be described as a tragedy in the world.

Just when Dong Cheng returned to the palace to resume his life, the seventh son, who was wearing an ordinary cotton suit, personally carried a leg of mutton and knocked on the door of the small courtyard where Li Xin was.

Li Xin opened the courtyard door and arched his hand at the mysterious Seventh Prince: "I've seen the Seventh Prince." ”

The seventh prince showed the leg of mutton in his hand to Li Xin, and then said with a smile: "The barbecue that I ate here last time was very refreshing, and my son specially asked people to get a sheep on the grassland, and I just killed it, and you will roast a few more skewers for this son to taste." ”

Li Xin looked at this seventh prince of the royal family a little speechlessly.

These guys, who are full of food and have nothing to do, have made a special trip to find themselves for a few skewers of mutton.

But now, he has no way to refuse this seventh son, after all, the net worth and life of their "family of three" are still relying on this seventh son, and they have to bow their heads under the eaves.

A moment later, another charcoal fire was lit, and several skewers of mutton skewers were placed on the fire rack and roasted back and forth, Li Xin handed a skewer of roasted mutton skewers to the seventh prince, and asked tentatively, "The seventh prince is coming to find you...... That's what it's all about? ”

The seventh prince took a bite of the mutton skewer fiercely, and said while chewing: "The main thing is for this, and the other is to tell you that your affairs are settled, probably tomorrow Jingzhao Mansion will revoke your arrest, and the people of Tianmu Prison will not arrest you again, you don't have to hide in the courtyard every day." ”

Li Xin stood up and said to the Seventh Prince: "Below, thank you Seventh Prince." ”

In the past few days, Li Xin carefully thought about this matter, and finally found that he was indeed too impulsive, not to mention anything else, just his big-character poster suspected of "smearing the Son of Heaven" was enough to be killed more than a dozen times, if it wasn't for this Seventh Prince, even if the Son of Heaven didn't trouble him, the people of Jingzhao Mansion would probably not let him go.

Fortunately, this time, this seventh son, who didn't know where he came from, helped Li Xin relieve this siege.

The seventh prince said with a smile: "Don't be so polite, this matter is mainly because you will come to the matter, get that poem out, and this son will be able to take advantage of the situation, otherwise this son will not be able to confront Jingzhao Mansion head-on." ”

Li Xin sat down next to the charcoal fire again and continued to grill the mutton skewers, and after a long time, he raised his head and asked, "Seventh Prince does this...... After all, there will be no purpose, can you ask the purpose of the seventh son? ”

The seventh prince threw aside the bamboo stick in his hand and said lightly: "It's useless to tell you these things now, you just need to remember that you owe Ben Gongzi a great favor, and if Ben Gongzi wants you to help in the future, if you can help it, you don't have to admit it." ”

Li Xin fell silent.

He guessed some of the purpose of this seventh prince in his heart, this seventh prince surnamed Ji, then there is a high probability that he is one of the princes today, if he wants to ascend the throne smoothly, he must get the support of as many ministers as possible, and the Pingnan Hou Mansion is a good target.

Because the Pingnan Hou Mansion is not only high and powerful, but also the Pingnan Hou has ... Soldiers!

Thinking of this, Li Xin suddenly opened his mouth and asked thoughtlessly: "Seventh Prince... Bad relationship with Lee Chun? ”

Li Chun is the son of the Pingnan Hou Mansion, Li Xin's cheap brother.

The seventh prince was stunned, looked at Li Xin with some surprise, then smiled with relief, and said softly: "I can't say it's bad, I can only say that it's not familiar." ”

The seventh prince hesitated, and then spoke.

"Li Chun is very close to one of my brothers."

Having said this, this seventh prince has almost admitted his identity as a prince, Li Xin handed over a skewer of grilled meat, and then spoke: "Seventh prince, there are some things I want to explain to you in the next, I said it before the next, and I will no longer have anything to do with the Pingnan Hou Mansion in this life, if the seventh prince wants to use it to influence or control the Pingnan Hou Mansion, then the seventh prince ...... It doesn't have to be in vain. ”

The seventh prince threw an empty bamboo stick aside, wiped his mouth with a silk handkerchief, and then stroked his palm and smiled: "What a smart Li Erlang, you can guess so many things with just a few words." ”

"Don't worry, Ben Gongzi's kindness has never been mandatory, no one can say what the future will be, in the future, if you can help Ben Gongzi, you can help, if you can't help, then pull it down, Ben Gongzi will not blame you for anything."

Speaking of this, the seventh prince smiled and said: "But you are so smart, even if you don't enter the Pingnan Hou Mansion, you may be able to have your own career in the future." ”

Li Xin stuffed a skewer of grilled meat into his mouth, and then said softly: "Seventh prince rest assured, he is a person with a good memory, today's kindness of the seventh prince is remembered in the next, and if there is a chance in the future, he will definitely repay the seventh prince." ”

The seventh prince squinted his eyes and said: "Let's not talk about the future for the time being, this son now has something you can do, and I want you to help." ”

"Seventh son, please speak."

The seventh prince pointed to the fire in front of him, squinted his eyes and said: "Your method of kebabs, you have to write it down and give it to me, there will be no way to see you for a period of time in the future, this son wants to take the method home, let the people in the family follow and learn." ”

When Li Xin heard this, after a pause, he spoke: "Seventh Prince...... Why can't I see it below? ”

"Oh, I forgot to tell you."

The seventh prince smiled and said: "From tomorrow, the internal security supervisor in the palace will send someone to protect you, with them, it is inconvenient for me to show up, so as not to let Your Majesty know that I am the driving force in the middle of this matter, but it will not end well, so in the future, this prince will not come to see you again." ”

Li Xin nodded, went back to the house and wrote down the specific process and ingredients of the mutton skewers on a piece of paper, and then handed it to the seventh prince.

The seventh prince took the paper, carefully put it into his sleeve, and then smiled softly at Li Xin: "Then the son will go back, if you have something urgent to find the prince, go to the proud building to find Jiuniang, she has a way to contact me." ”

Li Xin arched his hand at him.

"Thank you, Seventh Prince."
