Old man Ye had been dealing with the Yuwen clan of the Northern Zhou Dynasty for the first half of his life, and he knew a lot about how the cavalry of the Northern Zhou Dynasty dealt with it and the situation of the Yuwen tribes.

Of course, what he knows may have been outdated for thirty years, but Li Xin can know some of the situation in the Northern Zhou Dynasty through Ye Sheng, and then get some of the latest information of the Yuwen Departments from the intelligence department of the Great Jin, which can be used as a reference to each other, and have a three-dimensional understanding of the Yuwen clan who escaped from the customs at the beginning.

You must know that this Xianbei Yuwen clan once occupied most of Kyushu, and almost dominated the world like the Great Jin, even if they were defeated and fled outside the pass, their remnants drove away the other tribes in the north without any suspense, occupying a large grassland in the north.

It's a very vigorous race.

Li Xin stayed in Chen Guogong's Mansion for half a day, and lunch was also rubbed at Ye's house, and he didn't take the car home until evening.

The next day, he officially wrote to the imperial court, saying that he had been secretly injured during the Western Expedition and wanted to recuperate at home for a period of time.

At the same time, the amnesty of several of Li Ye's grandchildren and granddaughters was also sent to the prison of the Criminal Department, and several little dolls who were eight or nine years old were released from the prison.

Li Xin's Jing'an Hou Mansion now has more than 20 acres of land under his name, and at this time one hectare of land is 50 acres, that is to say, Li Xin now has 1,000 acres of land under his name, which can be said to be a veritable big landlord, and his Jing'an Hou Mansion has a special farm in the suburbs of Beijing.

There was also a steward of the Jing'an Hou Mansion in the farm, who was responsible for renting the land to tenants, collecting rent, storing grain, or cashing in the grain, and handing it over to the Hou Mansion on a regular basis.

These things are usually the eldest princess, or the steward of Chen Sixteen at the level of the family is in charge, Li Xin doesn't ask, but it is easy to raise a few people in the farm, for Li Xin, it is a matter of one sentence.

What is more difficult to deal with is whether these little dolls of the Li family will have a mess in the future.

Of course, it is unlikely that they will be like in later TV dramas, because their family members were killed by the imperial court, and when they grow up, they will become anti-thieves and assassins, and they will wholeheartedly want to assassinate the emperor, which is not very logical.

Not many people, in the face of the huge state apparatus, will have the mind to resist or even fight.

In fact, this is very easy to understand, and people in later generations can imagine whether anyone would think of rebellion and where to start when an individual is faced with a huge state apparatus.

It was so easy for them to get out of trouble, and it was a rare thing for them to be able to save their lives and survive in secret.

The difficult thing is that in the future, will anyone come to Li Xin's trouble because of these little dolls.

However, in the past two years, Li Xin is going to get a house in his hometown of Yongzhou, and when the time comes, he can send these children to Yongzhou, where the sky is high and the emperor is far away, and after a long time, no one should pay attention to them.

………………

It took a day for Li Xin to arrange the orphans in Li Ye's family, and then starting the next day, he ordered his subordinates to close the door and prepare to start his low-key career.

But soon, his life, which was only peaceful for half a day, was ruthlessly disturbed.

After eating in the afternoon, just as Li Xin was accompanying the ninth princess in the backyard, Chen Sixteen rushed over, bowed his head to him and said, "Master Hou, someone wants to see you." ”

At this time, the Marquis of Jing'an was sitting with the ninth princess, sitting under a wooden pavilion in the backyard, and a red charcoal fire was placed in the wooden pavilion.

Zhong Xiaoxiao and Zhao put two little dolls, one added charcoal to the stove, and the other brushed Li Xin's own secret sauce on the meat skewers.

The little girl Zhong Xiaoxiao took a small fan, and fanned the fire a few times from time to time, and the family was happy.

After hearing Chen Sixteen's words, Li Xin frowned slightly: "Didn't you say that you would close the door and thank you, so I told the person who came that Ben Hou was injured and needed to recuperate, so he didn't see the guests." ”

Chen Sixteen lowered his head and said with a wry smile: "Master Hou, the little one told that person like this, and that person said that he was from the palace......"

"From the palace?"

Li Xin frowned slightly, put down the meat skewers in his hand, and smiled at the Ninth Princess: "Your Highness, you take them here to play first, and I'll go and see who is coming." ”

The ninth princess wiped her hands with a handkerchief, glanced at the meat skewers she had just grilled and hadn't had time to eat with some reluctance, and said, "Do you want me to accompany you?" ”

Li Xin shook his head and said, "No need, you are here." ”

Li Xin got up, followed Chen Sixteen, walked towards the front yard of the Jing'an Hou Mansion, and walked to the main hall where the guests were welcomed, and Li Xin saw an old man with gray hair and wearing a wide coat.

He hurriedly greeted the old man and said, "Why did the grand duke come here?" ”

The person who came was the first eunuch of the Chengde Dynasty, and now the keeper of the Zhaoling Tomb, Chen Ju.

Chen Ju bowed his head and returned the salute: "Hou Ye Li is polite, now our family can't afford this title." ”

Li Xin said with a smile: "The Grand Duke will always be the Grand Duke, regardless of whether it is the Chengde Dynasty or the Taikang Dynasty." ”

Chen Ju shook his head and said: "Our family has resigned from the position of the inner chamberlain and eunuch with Your Majesty yesterday, and from today onwards, we will no longer serve in the palace, and we will leave the capital and go to Zhaoling later." ”

Li Xinli was slightly startled, and asked with a smile: "The Grand Duke resigned from the position of the inner chamberlain, and it was ...... who took over this position."

"We don't know."

Chen Ju smiled at Li Xin: "When our family said goodbye to Your Majesty at noon, Your Majesty entrusted our family to bring someone to the Jing'an Hou Mansion, so I came to disturb it." ”

Li Xin was surprised: "The Grand Duke still brought someone?" ”

Chen Ju turned his body slightly sideways, and Li Xin saw a seven or eight-year-old boy standing behind his wide clothes.

"I've seen Master."

After Li Xin saw this little doll, he was stunned for a moment, and then immediately bent over to return the salute.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince...... How did you get here? ”

"If the minister is not welcomed, His Highness will forgive the sin."

Chen Ju hurriedly stepped forward and helped Li Xin up, the old eunuch glanced at Li Xin deeply, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty ordered before you came, let His Royal Highness the Crown Prince live in the Jing'an Hou Mansion for a few days, learn something from Hou Ye Li, and wait for a few days when the Ministry of Rites is ready, and then officially apprentice to Hou Ye." ”

"Your Majesty specially instructed that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is in the Jing'an Marquis Mansion, and he is no longer the prince, but only a student and nephew of Marquis Li, there are no monarchs and ministers here, only masters and apprentices, aunts and nephews."

Li Xin's daughter-in-law, the ninth princess, is the sister of Taikang Tianzi, and the little kid in front of her is indeed Li Xin's nephew.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince walked up to Li Xin with a smile and said, "Uncle, where is my aunt, I miss her." ”

In the past, when Taikang Tianzi was in the Wei Palace, the Nine Princesses had been in the Wei Palace, and they had long been familiar with His Royal Highness the former prince.

Chen Ju glanced at Li Xin with a smile, bent over to say goodbye, Li Xin sent a few steps, and asked Chen Sixteen to replace him and send Chen Ju out of the main gate.

When Chen Ju walked away, Li Xin looked at the little kid in his hand, and was a little speechless in his heart.

That emperor, how much heart did he have to throw a country to himself.

Any eunuch in the palace sent the prince over, Li Xin could ask him to take the prince back, but Chen Ju sent him back, Li Xin had no choice, after all, Chen Ju didn't have to go back to the palace.

Thinking of this, Li Xin glanced at the little prince a little helplessly.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, let's talk about it first, and I'll send you back after two days."

"That's not going to work."

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince rolled his eyes and said, "Auntie, here is much more comfortable than in the palace, it's easy to get out of the palace, and I live here!" ”

As he spoke, he ran towards the backyard of the Marquis of Jing'an's Mansion excitedly, still shouting "Auntie" in his mouth.

Li Xin sighed helplessly.

"That's it, I'll teach you how to bake skewers for a few days, and then I'll send you back......"
