According to the rules, when the emperor dies, the children should be filial piety for three years, at least twenty-seven months, otherwise there is no way to get married.

However, during the reign of Emperor Wu, the Great Jin Dynasty fought with the north and south at the same time, and a large number of domestic men were consumed.

In the Chengde Dynasty, this rule was changed to one year, but large families generally still have to stay for three years before they get married, and the royal family is even more so, but if it is of marriageable age, it can be given by the emperor's decree, and there is no need to take into account the rules.

What the Son of Heaven said meant was to give marriage to Li Xin and the Ninth Princess.

The emperor is going to marry his sister-in-law, and Li Xin naturally has nothing to object, after all, the relationship between him and the ninth princess is almost the time to get married.

But at this juncture, it is inevitable that he will have some other ideas.

When the Son of Heaven saw Li Xinying coming down, he smiled even more happily.

"When you get married, we will be a family, and we will be closer."

Bullshit.

Li Xinli silently rolled his eyes.

Throughout the ages, the most painful relative killed by the royal family was the colt, and no royal family would treat the pony as their own family.

It's not a good career.

Marquis Jing'an bowed his head and said, "Minister, thank you Your Majesty for the marriage." ”

After the Son of Heaven finished talking about the marriage, he pulled Li Xin to sit down and said, "Ye Ming has come back from the north, does Chang'an know?" ”

"Yes."

Li Xin nodded and said, "The minister just came out of the Chen Guogong Mansion and met this Senior Brother Ye. ”

There is nothing to hide about this kind of thing, Li Xin will know if he doesn't say it, so it's better to say it generously, and it will be more open.

Taikang Tianzi said in a deep voice: "I transferred Ye Ming back to the capital, because you said in Chang'an, the first strike is the strongest, after this year, even if the southern Xinjiang side does not make the first move, I will also do it to the southern Xinjiang." ”

Speaking of this, the Son of Heaven took a deep breath.

"When the time comes, it's up to you in Chang'an."

Li Xin shook his head and smiled bitterly: "The minister has a few catties and a few taels, Your Majesty should know best in his heart, this battle in southern Xinjiang still has to rely on Senior Brother Ye, and the minister will follow him at most, waving the flag and shouting." ”

Speaking of this, Li Xin paused and continued: "I heard that Your Majesty sent internal guards to the Northern Zhou family some time ago to get people. ”

The Son of Heaven nodded and said: "There is such a thing, calculate the time, most of the months have passed, and they should be almost at the place by this time." ”

When he did this, it was Taikang Tianzi's own idea, and what he wanted at that time was to take those Northern Zhou families to the capital to ask for the crime by lying about the disaster, because he wanted to do it as quickly as possible, Taikang Tianzi did not go through the court procedure, and directly sent his own soldiers to get people.

Li Xin lowered his head and sighed: "Your Majesty's move may startle the snake." ”

"Those big families, since they dare to cooperate with Li Shen, then they must be ready to rebel, if Your Majesty wants to take them, they should be pressed by the heavenly soldiers, and they should be reduced by ten wills, and they will be wiped out directly, and a thousand internal guards will say that it is a lot less, but it is not too much to say more."

The Son of Heaven frowned and said, "Can they dare to resist?" ”

Li Xin smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty, they have even done something that lies about the disaster, what else can't they do?" ”

In fact, this matter is no wonder Taikang Tianzi.

Originally, the emperor wanted to arrest someone, theoretically he didn't even need to send someone over, as long as a holy decree, he could let that family obediently bind themselves to ask for guilt, even if he took a criminal minister on weekdays, the criminal department or Dali Temple would go to a few people, and he could easily bring people back.

And this time, the Son of Heaven has sent a thousand people over, and he has already given enough face to those families.

But alas, the situation is different.

Jing Anhou glanced at the north with some concern.

"Calculate the time, the people sent by His Majesty should have arrived in the north, if those Northern Zhou clans are ruthless, it is estimated that they will all fight at this time."

The Son of Heaven frowned slightly and did not speak.

…………

After leaving the palace, it was already dark.

Li Xin got off the carriage at Yongle Fang, walked on the street of Yongle Fang, put his hands on his back, looked left and right, and finally he found a beautiful dead grass by the side of the road, bent down and picked it in his hands.

This is the most prosperous square in the capital, and at night, it is still lit everywhere, and in comparison, the other squares are much darker.

At this time, it was almost November, and the wind was very cold at night, so Li Xin tightened his robe, and did not go back to the Jing'an Hou Mansion, but walked towards his carriage.

The lilac carriage of the Marquis of Jing'an slowly drove out of Yongle Fang.

"Go to Princess Qinghe's Mansion."

The guard of the Hou Mansion who was driving bowed respectfully: "Yes." ”

The carriage slowly moved in the direction of Chase Fang.

At this time, all the fangs in the capital were closed, but with Li Xin's current power, these things could not hinder him, and half an hour later, the carriage appeared at the gate of Princess Qinghe's mansion.

There was a knock on the door of the princess's mansion, and Yu Linwei, who was guarding the door, happily let Li Xin in.

Then the maid of the princess's mansion quickly went in to report, and after Li Xin entered the main hall of the princess's mansion, the ninth princess who had already slept had already changed her clothes and came out to greet him.

Her Royal Highness the Princess's face turned crimson.

"What are you doing in the middle of the night? Others are going to talk nonsense when they see it! ”

Li Xin stood up and whispered in her ear: "Let's go, let's go to a place where there is no one, I have something to tell you." ”

The ninth princess gritted her teeth, and finally pulled Li Xin to the back garden of the princess's mansion.

At this time, it was already winter, everything was withering, and there was nothing to see in the garden of the princess's mansion, so the princess kept pulling Li Xin under the pavilion in the back garden, and gritted her teeth gently: "You don't want to go to my room, if you have anything to say, just say it here." ”

Li Xin smiled and wrapped his arms around her waist: "Has your brother been talking to you recently?" ”

"Nope."

The ninth princess shook her head and said: "Seventh brother, he is very busy now, sometimes I can't see him when I go to the palace to see the queen mother, don't you see him more than I see me, why do you ask this?" ”

The brother and sister haven't seen it, which means that this girl doesn't know about it yet.

Li Xin held one of her hands and said in a sincere tone: "Then are you willing to marry me?" ”

Xiao Jiu pushed Li Xin with her hand, but she didn't push it away, she blushed and said, "You came here in the middle of the night, just to ask this?" ”

Li Xin nodded.

"It's an important question."

Jing Anhou's tone was solemn.

"If you are willing to marry me, I will marry you."

This sentence sounds strange, but it contains Li Xin's very complicated feelings.

Because marrying the ninth princess is not a good thing for his future development.

But if the ninth princess is willing to marry, he is willing to marry.

Ji Lingxiu looked up at Li Xin's serious face, as if she understood something, she took the initiative to hold Li Xin's hand in her hand, and then nodded slowly.

"I do."

Li Xin had a smile on his face.

"Then it's okay, and you won't regret it in the future."

The Ninth Princess nodded solemnly.

"No repentance."

"Then you put your hand out."

Xiao Jiu obediently stretched out his slender hand.

"Not the right hand, it's the left hand."

"Oh."

The little girl obediently stretched out her other hand.

Then, a somewhat rough, but somewhat beautiful grass ring was worn on the finger of the ninth princess.

This was made up by Li Xin on the road just now.
