One thing can be confirmed, that is, Dong Cheng has been eliminated from the center of power.

Moreover, he is no longer in charge of the Tianmu Prison, and the information he can know is extremely limited, if Li Xin wants to see the whole picture of the capital, he must go back and take a look for himself.

But he doesn't want to go back now.

Because at this time, the forces in the capital are being reshuffled, and this reshuffle process is not easy for him to intervene in at present.

Part of the reason for this is because he is so young.

An eighteen-year-old young man will not be too reassuring in any case, a very straightforward statement, if Li Xin is now forty years old, with his merits in the battle for succession, at this time he is either in charge of the forbidden army, or entered the center to worship the prime minister, it is impossible for him to be just a somewhat marginalized Yulin Zhonglang general.

That is to say, even if Li Xin is messing around in the court now, there will not be too many people who fall to him, a hairy child, he can still only control the "Yulin Wei Yi Department", rather than this, it is better to stay in Qiyang County, first, to be clean, and secondly, it will not cause the new emperor to be jealous.

Thinking of this, Li Xin said to Dong Cheng: "Father-in-law Dong, I got out of the capital at this pass, it can be said that I gave up a lot of interests, just to repair the grave for my mother, and now my mother's grave is only half repaired, Li Xin really can't bear to give up halfway, so let's write a letter to the capital, and Grandpa Dong will forward it to His Majesty on my behalf." ”

Dong Cheng smiled bitterly: "Hou Ye Li, Your Majesty explained to our family before he came, and I will persuade you to go back no matter what, Your Majesty said that if Hou Ye doesn't go back, then our family doesn't have to go back." ”

Li Xin was silent for a while, and then said with a smile: "In this case, my father-in-law will live in Yongzhou for a while, and the mountains and rivers on this side of Qishan are beautiful, and after a month or two, we will return to Beijing together." ”

Dong Cheng's face was embarrassed.

"This ...... Not quite right..."

"Nothing out of place."

Li Xin said indifferently: "Today, I will write a recital for the capital, let Yu Linwei send it back to the capital quickly, and explain the matter of my father-in-law by the way. ”

Li Xin's current position does not match his achievements.

Therefore, today's Taikang Tianzi owes Li Xin a lot of affection, which may not be able to become a gold medal for avoiding death, but it is always no problem to resist several times.

What's more, Li Xin is fighting for the word "filial piety", this kind of thing is also a good story to be passed on to future generations, no matter which son of heaven, it is impossible to condemn because of filial piety.

Therefore, Li Xincai is so light and light.

Dong Cheng smiled bitterly and said to Li Xin: "Then our family will be cheeky and live in the Hou Ye's hometown for a few days." ”

He sighed, and his tone was sincere: "I was supposed to go to Mrs. Tai's grave to kowtow a few times, but a crippled person in our family was afraid of polluting Mrs. Tai's feng shui, so I didn't go." ”

If it was a big family in this era, maybe he would not allow a eunuch to kowtow to the grave of his ancestors, but Li Xin did not have this chain of contempt, he shook his head at Dong Cheng: "Li Xin has a friend with his father-in-law, and his father-in-law is willing to go, so go and offer incense to my mother." ”

This sentence is not to win people's hearts, Li Xin really doesn't mind these things.

Dong Cheng was quite moved in his heart, but he still shook his head again and again, and insisted: "Don't dare to go, don't dare to go, where is the ancestral house of Master Hou, let's go to the pillar incense in front of Mrs. Tai's spiritual seat, don't dare to go to the grave......"

Li Xin was stunned.

Although he is a native of Qiyang County, he does not have an ancestral house in Qiyang County, and the only one that can be regarded as an ancestral house is the thatched house.

Hearing Dong Cheng's words, Li Xin moved his mind in his heart.

He will probably not return to this small county town in the future, and the Jing'an Hou Mansion in Yongle Fang in the capital is his future home, but in any case, Qiyang County is his hometown after all, and maybe he should indeed buy a house in Qiyang County so that he can have a place to come.

Thinking of this, Li Xin shook his head and said: "Li Xin has been poor since he was a child, he is a farmer who lives in the mountains, and he has never had any ancestral home, but after his father-in-law mentioned this, it is good to buy a house in this county." ”

Dong Cheng looked at the house left and right, and said in surprise: "This garden, isn't it Hou Ye's?" ”

"This is a rich family in Qiyang County, I just borrowed it."

Dong Cheng said with a smile: "This is easy, find the master's family, spend dozens of dollars casually, and buy it." ”

This is the biggest difference between Li Xin and the people of this era, although he occupies a high position, he does not have the habit of relying on the power to bully others, while Dong Cheng is very different, as long as they are higher than others, they will naturally bully others.

In other words, the reason why they climb so hard is to bully people.

This garden of the Qi family is very exquisitely repaired, even in a small place like Qiyang County, it will cost at least 2,000 yuan to repair, and Dong Cheng wants to buy it with a few dozen yuan.

Li Xin shook his head and slowly spoke: "Father-in-law Dong, Li Xin is also from Yongzhou, and he has no habit of bullying the township. ”

Dong Cheng arched his hand at Li Xin and said with emotion: "Hou Ye is high-spirited and bright, our family admires it." ”

"Since Master Hou doesn't want to buy it, it's easy, let the local yamen recruit some people, and build a Hou Mansion in Qiyang County."

Li Xin's face was a little displeased.

"Father-in-law Dong, Li's private affairs, don't work...... You're bothered. ”

Dong Cheng saw that Li Xin was a little unhappy, so he hurriedly got up and said to Li Xin: "Don't misunderstand Master Hou, our family is just thinking about Lord Hou, and there is no other intention......

He said this in his mouth, but in his heart he secretly considered it.

It seems that this young marquis has a good reputation more than good money......

Li Xin shook his head: "Father-in-law Dong doesn't need to be so polite. ”

While the two of them were talking, Shen Gang walked in from outside, bent over to Li Xin and said, "Master Hou, the prefect of Yongzhou, and the commander of Qiyang County are all waiting outside, and they want to meet the angels......

These officials have really smart noses......

Li Xin shook his head helplessly, and smiled at Dong Cheng: "Father-in-law Dong, come to see you, go out and have a look?" ”

Dong Cheng, who was a little short and fat, smiled and saluted Li Xin: "Master Hou, please first." ”

Li Xin shook his head slightly: "The one who came to see the angel has nothing to do with me, my father-in-law will go first." ”

Only then did Dong Cheng step out.

As soon as he walked out, Shen Gang, the captain of Yulin Guard, bowed to Li Xin and said, "Master Hou, Mu Lang is going to humble himself and inform Master Hou that his father is here......"

Li Xin's face changed slightly, and he said in a deep voice: "Go and tell Mu Ying to ask them to wait for me at the Tongfu Inn, and I will go over as soon as I get free." ”

"Yes."

Shen Gang left quickly, and Li Xin also walked to the door of Qi Garden, only to see Sun Quanshi, the prefect of Yongzhou, and Zhou Yang, the commander of Qiyang County, both groveling to Eunuch Dong, and the smile on their faces was almost squeezed out.

For these magistrates, Dong Cheng, an internal official of the inner court, is no different from a heavenly official of the Ministry of Officials, as long as Dong Cheng says a word in front of the emperor, he can make them struggle for several years or even ten years less!

Seeing Li Xin come out, the two magistrates came over and bowed to Li Xin again.

"Hou Ye Li, Xia Guan and the others will hold a banquet in Zuichun Building today, invite the angels, please Hou Ye also enjoy his face, and come over for a meal together."

Li Xin smiled.

"Ben Hou has a stomachache, so he won't go......"
