No one is a fool.

Although Taikang Tianzi said it very tactfully, the eldest princess could still hear it, and another meaning of the Son of Heaven's words was to let Li Xin never leave the capital again.

At least you can't leave the capital to lead the troops.

This was originally something that the eldest princess wanted to see, but as soon as the Son of Heaven said this, it changed its taste.

She didn't want Li Xin to be bound in the capital forever for such a ridiculous reason.

Her Royal Highness the eldest princess put down the dishes and chopsticks in her hand and smiled at the Son of Heaven: "Chang'an, if he can stay in the capital forever, it will naturally be good, but the man is ambitious in all directions, if the court needs to use him, the imperial brother does not have to take care of the courtiers." ”

"It is not easy for the imperial brother to support the huge court alone, the spirit of the past few years is obviously not as good as in previous years, if Chang'an can help the imperial brother, the courtiers are also happy in their hearts."

The Son of Heaven smiled and said: "He naturally wants to help me, and he can't run away, but he doesn't need to leave the capital to help me, now that the southwest has been decided, there is a kind of family and the Ye family in the north, which can be regarded as stable, and Chang'an can stay in the capital with peace of mind in the future and help me deal with state affairs." ”

"Although he is a military attaché, but he has more eyes than a few Zaifu in the three provinces, the world is too peaceful, it would be a pity to put it in the army, with him in the capital, I can hand over many things to him to do."

The implication of the Son of Heaven was to let Li Xin contact Wenchen's affairs.

In this era, some of the Tang Dynasty like Li Xin's world, civil and military attachés are not as clear as those of the Song and Ming dynasties, such as Li Shen, a general of the border army, can return to the capital to be a proper secretary of the military department, instead of just hanging a military secretary title from afar.

This idea, the eldest princess is still acceptable, after all, now that the world is safe, it is better to be a Wenchen in the capital than to lead troops to fight outside, but because of the last incident, she was a little wary of the Son of Heaven, so she didn't come down.

just smiled and said to Taikang Tianzi: "Brother Huang, these are all things between you and Chang'an, my sister is a lazy person, but I don't bother to ask about this." ”

Having said that, Her Royal Highness the eldest princess barely had any flaws exposed, and she had tried her best not to affect Li Xin's choice.

Tianzi glanced at his sister-in-law, with a smile on his face, but he still sighed slightly in his heart.

The female university is not up to others.

This sister is now completely the Li family, and she is not of the same mind as the heavenly family.

Thinking of this, he felt a little complicated in his heart.

This is his sister-in-law, because she was born to a mother, the Son of Heaven has been particularly doting on her since she was a child, and she was almost treated in the palm of her hand.

How long has she known Li Xin......

Thinking of this, the Son of Heaven sighed in his heart, but he still had a smile on his face and said, "That's it, these will be talked about after Chang'an returns to Beijing." ”

"This time he has made a great contribution, and when he returns, I will have to reward him well."

Speaking of this, the Son of Heaven glanced at the eldest princess and said with a smile: "When he comes back, Xiao Jiu, you should also work hard, give birth to a nephew as soon as possible, and when my nephew is born, I will immediately give him a count." ”

The general reward is either directly crowned by the minister himself, or by the heir of the minister of grace, since the Son of Heaven wants to crown Li Xin's son, the implication is that Li Xin will not be given a particularly heavy reward.

At the very least, Li Xin's Marquis of Jing'an will not become a duke.

In fact, this is also a reasonable thing, after all, in the entire Great Jin Dynasty, there is only one Guogong with a different surname, Ye Sheng, and Ye Sheng still has the merit of destroying the country, and now Li Xin is a little worse than Ye Sheng.

The ninth princess didn't care much about these, after all, she was born in the royal family since she was a child, and she wasn't too sensitive to things like titles, so she just smiled when she heard the words, and didn't say anything.

After the brother and sister ate for a while, the Son of Heaven stood up lazily and smiled at the Ninth Princess: "Okay, Xiao Jiu, I still have something to do here, you go to the harem to ask the queen mother for a good time, her old man said, you haven't been in the palace to see her for some days." ”

The ninth princess got up and saluted, "Sister obeys." ”

………………

In June of the third year of Taikang, the weather was hot, and the air was faintly distorted because of the heat.

On the official road to the west of the capital, a huge convoy of more than a dozen horse-drawn carriages gave up continuing to rush because it was too hot, and stopped under an herbal tea shop to drink tea.

However, there were too many people in this group, nearly 700 people, and the stall owner of the herbal tea shop was busy before and after, but he couldn't deliver a bowl of tea to any of them.

However, each of the forbidden soldiers had their own water bags, and they each found a few shady places to rest, wiping their sweat.

Yu Linwei's people were also very hot, and they each found a place to rest, Xiao Zheng and a few people from the internal guard sat on the herbal tea stall, gulping herbal tea.

The big fat man Ji Yu and several of his concubines were also sitting under the herbal tea shop.

In the entire convoy, only the carriage of Pingnan Hou Li Shen did not move, and the husband and wife were stuffy in the carriage and did not come out.

The Marquis of Jing'an couldn't stand the weather, so he sat in front of the carriage to rest, and the little guy Zhao Fang sat next to Li Xin and fanned Li Xin hard.

Li Xin wiped his sweat with his sleeve, turned his head to look at Zhao Fang, and said with a smile: "Is it hot?" ”

This kind of weather may not be unacceptable for ordinary children, but Zhao Fang is the grandson of the Li family of Zhao County, from childhood to adulthood, there is ice in the summer at home, and the Li family of Zhao County is in the north, and it will not be so hot in the capital in summer.

The little guy was covered with sweat on his forehead, shook his head and said, "It's not hot." ”

The Marquis of Jing'an patted his head and said with a smile: "Fan yourself, don't go to the capital, the heat is dying outside the capital, if you really want to die of heat, the fate between us will be great." ”

He froze to death, if Zhao Fang died of heat, they would really have a big fate.

The little guy naturally didn't understand the meaning of Li Xin's words, so he fanned himself a few times and let out a long breath.

"Teacher, how long will it take to get to the capital?"

Li Xin stretched out his finger and pointed to the east, and said, "Did you see it?" ”

The little one stood up, and saw nothing, so he climbed a little higher, and climbed to the top of the carriage, and looked at it with great sight.

To the east, there is a great city, which stands proudly.

The city wall of this big city was rebuilt after Emperor Wu of the Great Jin Dynasty ruled the world, and the highest place was five or six zhang high, and the shortest place was three or four zhang high.

Not to mention anything else, at least at the moment, this capital is worthy of the name of the world's first heroic city.

The little guy watched from the top of the carriage, Li Xin sat underneath, and said with a smile: "Have you seen it?" ”

"See."

Zhao Fang muttered to himself: "What a big city......"

When Zhao Fang was born, the Northern Zhou Dynasty had already died, and he had not been to the capital of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and even if he had been, the capital of the Northern Zhou Dynasty at this time did not have the atmosphere of the capital of the Great Jin Dynasty.

The Marquis of Jing'an also stood up and glanced leisurely at the capital not far away.

"Eighty percent of the intrigues and tricks in the world are in this big city."

He glanced up at Zhao Fang and smiled.

"Depending on the distance, we should be able to get to the capital tonight."

"Are you afraid?"
