No matter what, at least Taikang Tianzi at this time cried very seriously and forgot himself.

Li Xin hid at the door and secretly watched for a while, and when he saw that he was crying too sadly, he couldn't bear to disturb him.

At this time, he really should cry, and if Li Xin is in his position, he has to cry a few times, otherwise everyone will not be able to get over it on the stage.

But crying is crying, what exactly is going on in your heart, then no one can say.

However, the Marquis of Jing'an can be sure that at this time, even if His Majesty of the Great Jin Dynasty doesn't want to laugh in his heart, his mood will not be bad.

The Son of Heaven cried for a while, and found Li Xin waiting at the door with his spare eyes, he wiped his tears from his black sleeves, and said sadly: "The eldest brother is my eldest brother, and the eldest brother died, and my heart was very painful. ”

After he said this, several widows of the Qin Palace's mansion glanced at each other, knelt on the ground and kowtowed to the Son of Heaven, and wept: "Thank you for your grace. ”

Among them, there was a dignified and generous Princess Qin, that is, the former crown princess, who stood up from the ground tremblingly, and then walked to the Son of Heaven, took out a letter from his sleeve, and wept: "Your Majesty, the prince has been depressed in the past few days since he returned to Beijing, and after the prince's accident today, the concubine found this letter in the prince's study, which should be the prince's suicide note......"

Seeing this, Li Xinli breathed a big sigh of relief.

Since the fat man was acted out according to the previously agreed script before he died, it is much easier to deal with it next, with this suicide note, even if there will be slander in the hearts of people in the government and the opposition, but at least how can it be said on the surface.

A lot of things, everyone can just say it on the surface, as for the truth behind it, not many people will really be alone, after all, Dead Eyes can't live long in this game.

At the beginning, there was a royal historian named Xue Zichuan, who followed Li Xin to the southwest as a military envoy, and he was a serious and dead-hearted man, but he died very simply.

The Son of Heaven opened the letter and looked at it, and then shed tears, he sighed at the letter, and said: "Although the eldest brother has made a big mistake, but you and I are siblings, you can say anything well, I have not sinned against the eldest brother, why should the eldest brother sin himself?" ”

Saying that, the Son of Heaven comforted Princess Qin a few more words, and then staggered out of the mourning hall, Li Xin bowed respectfully to the Son of Heaven.

"Your Majesty."

The Son of Heaven's eyes were still slightly red at this time, he tidied up his clothes, then sighed slightly, and asked Li Xin, "What's going on over there in Zhaoling?" ”

Li Xin bowed his head slightly.

"Li Shen committed suicide by taking poison in the first emperor's palace, and Gonggong Chen buried him on the side of the emperor's tomb according to the edict of the first emperor."

Speaking of this, Li Xin paused, and then continued: "No name, no monument, as long as a few years old, the world will never know that there is a person buried there. ”

The Son of Heaven glanced at Li Xin, and then sighed with emotion: "Father, he is still affectionate, otherwise with Li Shen's crime, it would not be too much to cut him with a thousand knives, how could he be buried with the emperor's mausoleum?" ”

Li Xin bowed his head and said yes.

The Son of Heaven patted Li Xin's shoulder and said with a smile: "My mausoleum is also being repaired, and I will let them leave a vacancy in a few days, and after a hundred years for you and me, you will be buried on my side in Chang'an, unlike Li Shen, I will erect a merit monument for you, record your name, and enjoy the temple!" ”

Li Xin was silent for a while, and then smiled and said: "Your Majesty will spare the minister, the minister is already very tired in the court, if he dies one day, he will be buried far away from the capital, and he will not grab a place with those dignitaries, and he will also hide a clean." ”

"The minister did things for His Majesty before he died, and after he died, he went to his own."

The Son of Heaven glared at Li Xin, and then smiled dumbly: "In the whole world, there is only Chang'an, you, who dare to talk to me like this." ”

As he spoke, the Son of Heaven stretched out his hand and pointed to a pavilion not far away, and said with a smile: "Where are we going to talk." ”

Li Xin said yes, and the two of them walked into the pavilion one after the other, and the Son of Heaven took the lead in sitting down, Li Xin hesitated for a moment, and then sat down.

After sitting down, the Son of Heaven pointed to the mourning hall not far away, and said in a deep voice: "Chang'an, although the eldest brother wrote a suicide note, saying that he committed suicide, but after all, he just returned to the capital and didn't have it, so suddenly, the whole capital will definitely gossip about me, this matter must be handled well, otherwise I will lose face in the future." ”

Li Xin bowed his head slightly: "Your Majesty, can you show the suicide note to the minister?" ”

Taikang Tianzi happily handed over the letter.

After Li Xin opened it and read it, he nodded slightly and said: "Your Majesty, since His Royal Highness the King of Qin has already explained in the letter that he committed suicide by drinking water because he colluded with the Pingnan Army and was ashamed to see the Son of Heaven, then this matter is much easier to do." ”

The Son of Heaven frowned and said: "This letter cannot be made public, otherwise the face of my heavenly family will be lost, and I am suspected of pouring dirty water on my eldest brother." ”

"There's no need to make it public."

Li Xin lowered his eyebrows and said: "Your Majesty takes this letter, and tomorrow he will convene the Zaifu of the three provinces and the six Jiuqing ministers to discuss the crime, and the crime to His Royal Highness the King of Qin is that with this letter, His Royal Highness the King of Qin is at least guilty of rebellion." ”

The Son of Heaven frowned, and was about to speak, when he heard Li Xin continue: "The six departments and nine Qing have agreed on the guilt, Your Majesty must reject it, just say that it is the love of brotherhood, plus the deceased is great, I can't bear to bear the infamy of His Royal Highness King Qin when he dies, and I don't say to the outside world that His Royal Highness the King of Qin committed suicide, just say that he is violently ill." ”

"In this way, I can not only get rid of the notoriety of killing my brother, but also get a reputation for benevolence and righteousness in the court."

The Son of Heaven glanced at Li Xin, and then asked, "I'm afraid there will still be criticism in the market......

"Therefore, Your Majesty will treat the Qin Wangfu more favorably, and after a long time, it will naturally be able to change the people's views on this matter."

Speaking of this, Li Xin bowed his head and said: "And Your Majesty can send someone to publicize the "truth" of this matter, and after a long time, the matter will naturally be revealed to the world." ”

"If there is really that kind of person who spreads rumors and makes trouble and chews his tongue, His Majesty directly asks the guards or Jingzhao Mansion to take people, so that in two or three months at most, this matter can be calmed down."

The Son of Heaven lowered his head, thought about what Li Xin said from beginning to end, and finally nodded slowly: "What Chang'an said is reasonable, then I will handle it accordingly." ”

Since Li Xin entered Beijing and made a big-character poster, today's capital attaches more importance to the importance of "public opinion" than before, and Jingzhao Mansion even posted a rule that no one is allowed to post things on the street except the imperial court.

Taikang Tianzi also gradually understood that public opinion can be guided and used.

The two of them said some more specific details, and the Son of Heaven stood up from under the pavilion, and then said to Li Xin: "Chang'an, I have been out of the palace for a while, and I should go back to the palace to deal with political affairs at this time. ”

The Marquis of Jing'an bowed his head respectfully.

"Minister, follow Your Majesty's will."

The Son of Heaven left with his hands in his hands, Li Xin followed a few steps, and then slowly spoke: "Your Majesty, Li Ye's family shouldn't all die......"

The Son of Heaven did not seem to hear what he said, and walked away.
