After leaving the capital, Li Xin deliberately went to Ningling, where under the leadership of the children of the Ye family, he went to the grave to burn some paper for the old man and kowtowed a few times.

Over the past ten years, Li Xin has seen too many people, there are two generations of emperors, various royal relatives, and countless court officials and generals in the army, but there is only one old man Ye that he admires in his heart.

The only controversial thing that Ye Sheng has done over the years is that he handed over his military power and returned to Beijing to retire, of course, this is also the most difficult thing for him to do, after all, General Ye was only in his early forties at that time, and it was the time when a man was the most ambitious, and it was something that most people could not do to resolutely remove his armor at that juncture.

In addition, Ye Sheng's life can be regarded as a perfect life of a military general, he joined the army as a young man, climbed all the way with military exploits, and had the merit of destroying the country when he was not confused, and then retired to the rivers and lakes.

And most importantly, at the end of life.

Each of these things is not easy, but Ye Sheng has done it all.

After Ningling went to the grave, Li Xin did not stay for too long, only lived in the ancestral house of the Ye family in Ningling for a day, and then left, and after walking slowly along the way for a whole spring, the group finally stepped on the land of Yongzhou Mansion, and after arriving at the boundary of Yongzhou, Li Xin called Xie Dai and said: "I have arrived at the boundary of my hometown, Xie Lang will be sent here, and I can go back." ”

Xie Dai hesitated for a moment and said, "Taifu, the lower officials always have to go to meet the eldest princess." ”

If you calculate it carefully, the Xie family is still a relative of Li Xin's family, and the most noble status in Li Xin's family is naturally the eldest princess of Qinghe.

Li Xin said with a smile: "You go in with me, with great fanfare, you will not alarm the local government along the way, there is no need." ”

Xie Dai glanced back at the dozen or so carriages behind him, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty has given so many maids and servants to the Taifu, and they all follow all the way, and they are not inferior to these people. ”

Li Xin glanced at Xie Dai, and then smiled dumbly: "That's it, if you like to follow, you will follow, most of us will alarm the local government, I am too lazy to deal with them, you send a team of Yulin guards out and tell the people of the government to let them go back where they should go." ”

Xie Dai bowed his head respectfully: "Xiaguan will do it." ”

Entering the boundary of Yongzhou from the east, it is directly Qiyang County, and a little further west is the capital city of Yongzhou, so Li Xin and others only took one day to enter the county government of Qiyang County, and the group of people slowly entered the city from the gate of the county seat.

Li Xin is a person who doesn't like to be public, but two hundred Yulin guards, plus more than a hundred servants given by the Son of Heaven, can't be publicized if you want to, and most of the people in Qiyang County are standing on the side of the road, watching this big man in Qiyang County once in hundreds of years.

Originally, the people from the county government of Qiyang County would come to greet Li Xin, but Li Xin greeted him in advance, and these people did not dare to touch the moldy head of this imperial prince, so they could only hide secretly and watch Li Xin enter the city.

Surrounded by so many fathers and villagers, Li Xin was not very good and did not say anything at all, he asked Xie Dai and other Yu Linwei to distribute some money along the way, which was regarded as stimulating the economy of his hometown in disguise.

In this way, they entered Qiyang County at noon, and it was not until the evening that they arrived at the gate of Li's house at the foot of Qishan, Li Xin jumped down from the carriage, glanced back at Xie Dai, and said with a smile: "Xie Lang will stay here for a few days before leaving?" ”

"Don't you dare to live."

Xie Dai hurriedly lowered his head and said with a wry smile: "Xiaguan kowtow to the eldest princess and leave." ”

Marquis Jing'an patted him on the shoulder in understanding, and said with a smile: "Xie Lang will be a smart person." ”

While the two of them were talking, the middle door of Li's house was wide open, and the ninth princess took Li Xin's eldest daughter Li Shu, youngest son Li Ping, Zhong Xiaoxiao, and Hui Niang and other family members to come out to greet Li Xin.

Li Xin walked up with a smile, first hugged the ninth princess, and then bent down and hugged his son and daughter in his arms.

At this time, his eldest daughter Ah Han was already seven years old, and it was quite heavy in his arms, and the Marquis of Jing'an put his son on the ground, reached out and pinched the eldest daughter's nose, and said with a smile: "Ah Han is fat." ”

Xiao Ahan inherited her mother's foodie attributes, and she liked to find delicious food everywhere since she was a child, but she obviously did not inherit her mother's physique of not eating fat, she was only seven years old at this time, and she looked a little chubby.

Xiao Ahan reached out and put his arm around his father's neck and snorted softly.

"Daddy is wrong, I didn't eat fat, I just grew taller."

Hou Ye Li laughed, carried her into the gate of Li's house, and talked to his family as he walked.

Xie Dai stepped forward hard, and after kowtowing to the Ninth Princess, he left with a group of Yu Linwei.

The ninth princess raised her eyebrows and looked at the more than a hundred servants left by Xie Dai, most of whom were maids.

Li Xin felt his wife's gaze, and hurriedly said with a smile: "Your eldest nephew specially sent to take care of you has nothing to do with me. ”

The eldest princess frowned soothed, and asked softly, "Yan'er, did he do a good job as an emperor?" ”

Marquis of Jing'an smiled meaningfully.

"It's so good."

Li Xin walked while talking to his children and Zhong Xiao, I haven't seen him for a long time, the little one has grown a little longer, and it looks like she is a big girl, Li Xin teased her with Zhao Fang's matter, and the little girl immediately ran away with a red face.

After entering the main hall, the ninth princess remembered something and said, "By the way, Mr. You'an arrived yesterday, saying that he heard that his husband was coming back, so he specially waited here." ”

Li Xin was a little surprised.

"Zhao Jia is in Qiyang?"

The ninth princess nodded: "In the backyard, he said that it was inconvenient for him to show up, so he didn't go to greet her husband." ”

Only then did Li Xin put Xiao Ah Han out of his arms and said, "Ah Han is good, go and play with Aunt Zhong, and Daddy will go to see you Uncle Zhao." ”

Ah Han was brought up by Li Xin when he was a child, and he was very close to his father, so he pouted when he heard the words and ran away unhappily.

At this time, there was no one nearby, Li Xin turned around and hugged the eldest princess, and then walked towards his backyard.

In the garden in the backyard, Zhao Jia, dressed in white, has been waiting for a long time.

Li Xin walked up and said with a smile: "Brother You'an is not busy in Jincheng, why did he come to Qiyang County?" ”

Zhao Jia got up to greet him, and said with a smile: "I heard that Hou Ye is coming back, so my subordinates took the liberty to greet Hou Ye in Qiyang." ”

Zhao Jia blinked.

"Originally, Mu Ying was clamoring to come, but it took a lot of effort for his subordinates to persuade him."

The white-clothed scholar glanced at Li Xin with a smile.

"I heard that Master Hou is in the capital, and it's a little unpleasant?"

The Marquis of Jing'an touched his nose and said with some embarrassment: "Brother You'an is in the southwest, and he is very well-informed. ”

"It's been a few months, how can you not know?"

Zhao Jia smiled.

"The first emperor sealed a king of Shu in the south, and now he has a king of Yan in the north, but it is in the same line."

He looked at Li Xin and smiled: "Seeing that the Yuwen Department was crowned King Yan, the Hou Ye is afraid that he is very unhappy?" ”

Li Xin let out a breath slowly.

"Brother You'an has anything to say, don't worry about beating around the bush."

The smile on Zhao Jia's face retracted, and he bent over to look at Li Xin deeply.

"The subordinate asked the Hou Ye on behalf of the southwest."

"Now, the Hou Ye is not dead set on the court?"
