Unparalleled Concubine

"The couple, I took them away."

Mother Chen stood up and was about to kowtow to Li Xin.

Li Xin hurriedly helped her up, and quickly said, "Auntie, what are you doing?"

"Little General Li has been taking care of our family. If our family didn't have General Xiao Li, our family would probably collapse now."

This typical rural woman wiped her tears, choked up and said: "I know, General Li is looking at the boss's sake..."

Li Xin shook his head: "He didn't deserve to die on the first day of junior high school, I was the one who felt sorry for him."

In the first battle of Xiao Chenji, those 39 people should not have died, but they died.

This was the first time in Li Xin's two lives that he saw a large-scale death, and it was caused by him. Until now, he has not crossed this hurdle in his heart.

As he spoke, Li Xin glanced at Chen Shiliu's severed arm.

"You entrusted Shiliu to me again, but I failed to take good care of him. It was Li Xin who was sorry for the Chen family."

"Oh, it's their fate."

Mother Chen sighed and said softly: "Without General Li, our life will only be more difficult."

Li Xin patted her on the back and comforted her: "Don't worry, Auntie, there will be no twists and turns in the future. Shiliu and his wife will live in my house, and I will let him come back to see you when he has time."

"I'll entrust it to General Xiao Li."

In the end, Li Xin took Chen Shiliu and his wife, as well as the little girl Chu Qi, and left Chenjiacun.

But Chu Qi only went to the city for a few days, and she would come back in a few days, otherwise Mother Chen would be too lonely living alone in the village.

Along the way, Li Xin did not ride a horse, but held Chu Qi's hand and walked all the way.

Chen Shiliu led the horse for Li Xin, and followed behind Li Xin, watching the Jing'an Marquis mansion making fun of his sister, talking about some interesting things in the capital.

"I have a little sister in my family, but she is five or six years younger than you. She will stay at my house for a few days on the seventh day of the lunar new year. Would you like to play with her?"

Eleven or twelve-year-old Chu Qi went to the city for the first time, with big eyes blinking.

"it is good."

Li Xin smiled brightly.

When he faced other people, his smile was somewhat fake, but when he faced the Chen family, he was much more sincere.

........................

The next day, after Li Xin arranged the residence of Chen Shiliu's family, he went to the palace.

First, he wanted to pick up Zhong Xiaoxiao, and second, he wanted to communicate with the emperor about "apprenticeship".

After entering the palace, Li Xin did not rush to Kunde Palace, but went directly to Weiyang Palace.

He has a special status in the new dynasty, so it is natural for him to see the emperor all the way, and soon he was waiting outside the Weiyang Palace.

Today is July 23, there is no small court meeting or big court meeting, the emperor does not have to go to court, but today the emperor is summoning several officials from the household department, so he needs to wait.

About half an hour later, Li Xin saw the bearded Minister of the Household Department walking out from the gate of Weiyang Palace with several servants.

If I remember correctly, the servant of the household department should be surnamed Xu, and his name is Xu Zhi. He used to be the left servant of the household department. Later, after Ji Ku, the original minister of the household department, became the prince of the East Palace, he took a step forward logically. .

Li Xin stepped forward and nodded to Xu Shangshu.

"Hello Xu Shangshu."

Xu Zhi was stunned, he had never heard of this way of greeting, and subconsciously replied: "Hi Shilang Li."

The two passed by.

Li Xin stepped into the study of Weiyang Palace, in the study, Emperor Taikang was frowning.

Li Xin saluted respectfully: "My subject Li Xin, I have seen Your Majesty."

He didn't kneel down.

In fact, except for more solemn occasions where kneeling is required, on other occasions, ministers are not forced to kneel when they see the emperor, but this does not prevent some kowtowers from kneeling when they see the emperor.

The emperor waved to Li Xin.

"Chang'an is here, come and sit down."

The young eunuch Xiao Zheng moved a chair for Li Xin.

Li Xin was not polite either. After sitting down, he asked, "Did your Majesty encounter any difficulties?"

"For some disaster relief, the Ministry of Household Affairs said that disasters are being reported from all over the country, and the court is asking for disaster relief."

"In the past half a year since I came to the throne, there have been constant droughts and floods in various places, and there are also earth dragons turning over, which makes me very annoyed."

The emperor complained with some distress: "It was nothing at first. The emperor deposited a lot of money and food in the treasury, which was enough to relieve the disaster. However, there were disasters everywhere, and some people with good intentions began to spread rumors, saying that the omen from heaven, the emperor would not Germany."

He sighed.

"Forget it, let's not talk about it, I will send someone to deal with it."

He looked up at Li Xin, forced a smile: "Chang'an, you came to see me, what's the matter?"

Li Xin was stunned for a moment, then came back to his senses, bowed his head and said: "That's right, Your Majesty told me about the forbidden army a few days ago, I went back to think hard, and finally came up with an idea, and I'm here to discuss it with Your Majesty .”

"My Marquis Jing'an is indeed extremely intelligent, and he came up with a solution so quickly."

The emperor clapped his hands and said with a smile: "I am worried about this matter. With the forbidden army in my hands, I don't have to worry about whatever those people say. Chang'an, tell me!"

Li Xin bowed his head and said: "Your Majesty, I don't have enough seniority and reputation to be in charge of the Imperial Army, and Chen Guogong, Ye Sheng, is famous all over the world, and everyone in the court admires it. Maybe we can take advantage of Ye Laogong's reputation to take charge of the Imperial Army." .”

The emperor frowned.

"How to borrow?"

Li Xin bowed his head and said, "If Grandpa Ye can accept his ministers as disciples...you can borrow them..."

The emperor's eyes lit up, and then he frowned and said: "This is a way. Ye Guogong is my God of War in the Jin Dynasty. Chang'an, you have the name of this Yemen disciple, and it will be a lot more logical to take charge of the imperial army. It's just that Ye Guogong hasn't shown up for more than ten years. I'm afraid he won't agree."

"That's why I came to see His Majesty."

Li Xin lowered his head and said, "If Your Majesty goes to Chen Guogong's mansion to intercede in person, I think Ye Gongye will take me for His Majesty's sake..."
