Unparalleled Concubine

Li Xin took a deep breath, lowered his eyebrows, and said: "There was a brother Paozawa from Habayashi Guard who died in Beidi with me. His brother later replaced him in Habayashi Guard. He also lost an arm a few days ago. The two brothers are both under [-], one died and the other was disabled. Their father also died on the battlefield. There is only one mother and one sister left in the family. I feel a little sorry for them. I went to check on this family."

Elderly women don't want to hear these sufferings in the world. Just a few words from Li Xin, the empress dowager is about to start wiping tears, she sighed: "It's also a poor family, all of them have done their best for me. .”

The battle in the harem is fierce. The empress dowager can be a noble concubine in the palace. It is unrealistic to say that she is an ignorant person, but now that her son is the emperor, she is the biggest winner in the harem. Without opponents, My heart softened.

"Li Xin, you have to take good care of this family, don't let them feel cold towards Da Jin and the court..."

"Don't worry, Empress Dowager, I will take good care of them..."

The empress dowager held Li Xin's hand and said a few words, and asked a few questions about work.

In fact, although Li Xin has the position of the right servant of the Ministry of War, he has never been to the Ministry of War until now.

The Ministry of War is one of the more powerful yamen among the six ministries.

As the Minister of the Ministry of War, Li Shen hides at home every day because he has no way to really take charge of the Ministry of War, while Li Xin is a real servant of the right. Without the Minister of War, he is actually the second in command of the Ministry of War.

This position is very important, at least it is more important than Habayashi Zhongro.

Li Xin stayed in Kunde Palace until noon and had a meal with his future mother-in-law before Li Xin got up to say goodbye.

When parting, the Empress Dowager took Li Xin's hand and asked, "How old are you this year?"

Li Xin bowed his head and said: "Return to the queen mother, Chengde was born in the second year, after the new year, it will be eighteen."

At this time, the false age is used. In the first year of Taikang, Li Xin will really be eighteen years old.

The Empress Dowager smiled and said: "It's barely counted as Ding, and I will find someone to give me a name later, otherwise Li Xin and Li Xin will call you every day, and it is not appropriate."

In this era, it is rare for people to call by their first names directly. Peers are usually called by their first names, and only when the elders reprimand them will they call them by their first names.

Li Xin hasn't taken his name yet, so it's a bit difficult to address her as the Queen Mother.

Li Xin moved, bent over and said, "Li Xin obeys."

It just so happened that he was going to Chen Guogong's mansion to pay New Year's greetings to Grandpa Ye, and then he asked Ye Cheng to give him a name.

The nine princesses on the side smiled at Li Xin: "I will give you a name for you, the surname is Li, the name is Xin, and the name is Chef, how about it?"

Li Xin gave her a blank look, but ignored her.

He bowed his head to the Empress Dowager and said: "There is one more thing to tell the Empress Dowager, the minister will go back to his hometown Yongzhou in a few days, and then he will not enter the palace to bid farewell to the Empress Dowager."

Before the Queen Mother could speak, Princess Jiu asked, "You...what are you doing back in Yongzhou?"

"Build my mother's grave."

Li Xin took a deep breath and said, "Mother was lonely all her life, and she didn't even have a tombstone after she passed away. Now, I'm barely able to make a fortune, and I want to go back to my hometown to repair her old man's tomb. By the way, let me know... tell her about the old man's retainer. marriage."

The empress dowager was greatly touched, and reached out to pat Li Xin's hand.

"Know filial piety, good boy, good boy..."

The ninth princess blushed slightly, and asked timidly, "Then...do I want to follow?"

Before Li Xin could answer, the empress dowager glared at her daughter.

"Now you have no name or distinction, and you don't know anything about what you did in the past."

Li Xin smiled and said: "When I have a chance in the future, I will take the eldest princess to my hometown to have a look."

The Empress Dowager nodded and said: "Well, this is a good thing, Ai's family knows, have you told His Majesty?"

Li Xin shook his head slightly, bowed his head and said: "I will go to Weiyang Palace to see Your Majesty now. I think His Majesty will let you go out of Beijing because of your filial piety."

The Empress Dowager held Li Xin's hand.

"You just go, if he refuses to let him go, you can come to Aijia, and Aijia will make the decision for you."

"When you go back, the Ai family asked His Majesty to issue an order to give your mother an order, so that she cannot be wronged underground."

Li Xin bowed his head in thanks.

When leaving Kunde Palace and walking towards Weiyang Palace, Li Xin slowly closed his eyes.

He thought of his relatives in Yongzhou.

That is, his grandparents, and those uncles.

After the mother died, the uncle begged them to re-write the family tree for the mother, so that the mother would not become a lonely ghost after death.

them……

No consent.

He was extremely firm in his refusal.

Chapter 342 Promise, promise!

Going back to Yongzhou has always been an obsession in Li Xinxin's mind.

Or another Li Xin's obsession, but now, the two Li Xin have long been indistinguishable from each other, and even Li Xin himself can't tell whether he is the five-good young man who grew up under the red flag, or the world unlucky.

The only thing that is certain is that I always have to go back to see my mother and build a decent grave for that poor girl.

I also want to take my uncle back to Yongzhou.

Originally, this was something that Li Xin should have done immediately after he became an official, but some time ago he was caught in a battle for succession and couldn't get away. Until now, the throne has been settled, and Li Xin finally has the opportunity to return to his hometown .

In Weiyang Palace, Li Xin met Emperor Taikang smoothly.

After listening to Li Xin's explanation of his intentions, the Son of Heaven heaved a long sigh: "Brother Xin was lonely in his early years, and I have heard about it. Now that he is an official, he should go back to his hometown to show his filial piety to his mother."

He asked, "When is brother Xin going to leave Beijing?"

"It's about the fourth and fifth day of the junior high school. After dealing with the affairs of the capital, I set off."

The emperor was silent for a while, and said, "The matter of the elder brother..."

Li Xin said in a low voice: "The minister will tell his subordinates to continue to watch Pingnanhou's mansion, but depending on the situation, the possibility of abolishing the crown prince in Beijing is not great. His Majesty wants to use the Tianmu prison and... Zhu Rongsi's people go to Shu County Check it out."

Zhu Rongsi, an intelligence agency established last year when the emperor was still the king of Wei, and the proceeds of Li Xin Zhu Rongjiu, was not good at the beginning, with only 30 to [-] people, but later the number increased, but the follow-up Li Xin did not participate in the formation of the company, and he is not very clear about how many people there are in Zhurong Division.

The emperor nodded slowly: "It has to be like this."

After saying that, the Son of Heaven got up and walked in front of Li Xin, pulled Li Xin by the sleeve, and said slowly: "Brother Xin was wronged before, this time you will be more beautiful when you go back, I promise you to bring five hundred Habayashi guards, One is to protect your safety, and the other is to support you a little bit."

Li Xin shook his head and said: "Thank you for your kindness, 200 people are enough, and the Habayashi guards still need to defend the capital, so we can't be dispatched on a large scale because of the minister's private affairs."
