In the little fat man's extremely reluctant reluctance, Li Xin still took the nine princesses to leave Yuezhou City, along the way only in Hengshan, Huangshan and these places stopped for two days, took the nine princesses up the mountain to see the scenery, worshiped the Buddha, and then entered Beijing from the official road.

On July 13 of the first year of Taikang, Li Xin and others finally arrived at the gate of the capital.

After going for more than half a year, Li Xin looked at the capital again, and felt a little strange.

In the past six months, he has left this power center, which has both advantages and disadvantages, and the disadvantage is naturally that he missed a lot of opportunities to grab benefits, and failed to stand in the best position in the process of power reshuffle.

The good thing is that his whole person has precipitated.

The previous Li Xin, from a poor boy to Jing'an Hou, the three-grade servant of the imperial court, really took no more than a year, too fast and too fast.

With the precipitation of more than half a year, Li Xin is now a lot calmer.

When the team arrived at the gate of the capital, Li Xin gathered all the soldiers of Yulinwei together, and said in a deep voice: "Because of Li's personal affairs, you have followed me out of Beijing since the end of the year, and now it is the twilight of summer. ”

In this era, it is normal to go out for more than half a year, and some people even go out for a few years, more than ten years, or even a lifetime.

These Yulin guards all said in unison: "Inferior rank, it is incumbent!" ”

Li Xin smiled: "I haven't come back for more than half a year, so it's easy to get to the capital, give everyone a ten-day vacation, and then go back to Yulin Wei Yamen to report after ten days." ”

As he spoke, Li Xin took out a few bills of exchange from Chase Bank from his sleeve and handed them to Shen Gang, a school captain.

"Shen Gang, this is a thousand yuan, you go to a money bank to redeem it, and divide it into two yuan for each of the brothers."

There is no Chase money in Yongzhou, but there is one in the capital, and when you get here, you can finally re-experience the speed of "paper money".

"Thank you, Mr. Zhonglang."

The five hundred Yu Lin Wei also smiled: "Thank you, General Zhonglang!" ”

Li Xin said with a straight face: "In the past ten days, you can go out to eat and drink, but don't do anything wrong, we are the son of heaven, don't lose Your Majesty's face." ”

"Yes!"

After these Yu Linwei said this, they dispersed with a grin.

Shen Gang shouted: "Don't get separated, when you can't get the money, you have to complain!" ”

Five hundred people immediately followed Shen Gang.

The two hundred Qianniu guards on the other side looked at Yu Linwei's side, and their eyes were a little red.

But there was no way, this was Yu Linwei's reward, and they could only stare dryly.

Mu Ying followed behind Li Xin and said with a smile: "Master Hou is so generous." ”

Li Xin smiled but did not speak.

He is indeed very rich, not to mention the income of the proud building now, the money from the sale of Zhurong wine before was sent to him, that is, after the Taikang Tianzi ascended the throne, this money was used to form Qianniuwei, and it stopped.

Now Li Xin, although he doesn't have a lot of money, he always has tens of thousands of family fortunes.

Mu Ying smiled: "Master Hou, where is my money?" ”

Li Xin glanced back at him: "You also want two runs?" ”

Mu Ying shook her head again and again, raised her head and said, "With my grade, there should be one or twenty runs." ”

"No, let's play."

Li Xin left this Mu Lang general and walked to the carriage of the princess's mansion, in the carriage, the ninth princess was playing backgammon with Zhong Xiaoxiao.

It was one of the few pastimes the three of them had along the way.

After the carriage drove into the capital, Li Xin turned around and lifted the curtain.

"Your Highness, the capital has arrived."

Her Royal Highness the eldest princess stretched her waist and slapped her shoulder while landing on the chessboard.

"It's finally here, I've been tossed to death along the way, and I must have a good night's sleep when I go back."

Li Xin smiled and said, "Are you going to the princess's mansion or my Hou mansion?" ”

The ninth princess's face turned red.

"Naturally, go to the princess's mansion, what are you going to do in your Hou Mansion?"

Li Xin smiled narrowly: "The princess's mansion has arrived." ”

They entered the city from the south gate, and Datongfang was in the south of the capital, while Yongle Fang was in the north of the city, so the two of them were going to be separated here.

The ninth princess was a little depressed in her heart.

"It's all because of you, otherwise how could this princess live in Datongfang?"

Although Her Royal Highness the eldest princess didn't want to get off the car, there was no way, after all, the two of them were not married yet, and there was no way to live in the Jing'an Hou Mansion, after the carriage arrived at the gate of Princess Qinghe's mansion, she could only get out of the carriage with Zhong Xiaoxiao.

Her Royal Highness the princess held Zhong Xiaoxiao in her arms and said to Li Xin: "You go by yourself, I'll take Xiaoxiao to play for a few days and let her play chess with me, Cui'er is very stupid and can't play." ”

Tsui Er is her maid.

In fact, Cui'er didn't know how to play, she just didn't dare to win against the eldest princess.

Another reason why the ninth princess left Xiaoxiao was that Li Xin wanted Li Xin to come to see her as soon as possible, after all, Li Xin always wanted to take her sister back.

Li Xin pinched Zhong Xiaoxiao's cheek and asked with a smile, "Is it okay for Xiaoxiao to accompany the princess sister here?" ”

Zhong Xiaoxiao nodded very obediently.

"Okay."

This girl is afraid of people, but after getting acquainted, she is not afraid, the ninth princess has been with her for almost a few months, and she is naturally very familiar.

After bidding farewell to the Ninth Princess, Li Xin jumped into the pure black carriage of the Marquis of Jing'an.

This color is actually not very auspicious, but because the color of Yu Lin Wei is also black, it looks cool.

The carriage went all the way in the direction of Yongle Fang and stopped at the gate of the Jing'an Hou Mansion.

Li Xin first took a shower at home, then changed into the regular clothes of a military squire, and returned to the carriage.

"Enter the palace."

The carriage drove slowly towards the imperial city.

Taikang Tianzi's two wills urged him to return to Beijing, and now that he is back, he wants to enter the palace to see the new Tianzi no matter what.

The carriage stopped at the gate of Yong'an Gate, and Li Xin jumped out of the carriage and looked up.

In front of Yong'an Gate, it is still guarded by guards, dressed in blue and red.

Red is the inner guard, and cyan is the thousand cow guard.

Since last year, after the change of Chengde Palace, Taikang Tianzi has reformed the "access control" system, Yong'anmen as the gateway to the imperial city, and now at least two guards of the internal guard, Yulin Guard, and Qianniu Wei are on duty at the same time.

The reason for this change is because when the palace changed last year, Yu Linwei controlled Yong'an Gate, so that the gate of the imperial city and the middle gate were wide open.

So Taikang Tianzi is very insecure.

Li Xin secretly sighed.

This is the serious "crossing the river and demolishing the bridge".

However, there is nothing wrong with this approach, the bridge can never be crossed by one person, and after a person walks over the bridge, it is impossible for future generations to walk through.

The descendants of Zhuxia are best at learning lessons.

"Who's coming?"

Neiwei and Qianniuwei stopped Li Xin at the same time.

Li Xin coughed and said with a smile: "Why, now Benhou can't even enter Yong'an Gate?" ”

In the past, even if the internal guards were on duty at Yong'an Gate, Li Xin could enter unimpeded, and he didn't need to report until he reached the gate of the Inner Palace.

"Report the name, we will inform the adults!"

The last time the internal guard changed the palace, he was almost dead, and Qianniuwei was a newly built establishment, and it was normal for them not to know Li Xin.

At this time, a young eunuch ran over in a panic.

He bent over at Li Xin and said, "Master Hou, Your Majesty has been waiting for you for a long time in Weiyang Palace." ”

This little eunuch is Xiao Zheng, the inner servant and young eunuch who squeezed Dong Cheng down.

Li Xin smiled.

"Okay, Gonggong Xiao will lead the way."
