Unparalleled Concubine - v2 Chapter 1136

   Chapter 1136 A single thought decides all life and death

As the situation in the capital gradually stabilized, Mu Ying, Li Shuo and others wanted to take this opportunity to persuade Li Xin to take the lead as soon as possible, but Li Xin changed his words and brought up northern Xinjiang When it comes to things, these three people have a tacit understanding and have not spoken out.

This meal has been eaten for more than an hour, and the four of them all drank red and their necks were thick, and it was not over. It was the afternoon. Li Xin stood up staggeringly, and let several juniors support their parents. After drinking to this point, Li Xin naturally planned to let these people stay in his house to rest for a while, but Mu Ying and Li Shuo were only slightly drunk, and there was nothing serious, so they both left with their families, only the right servant of Shang Shutai Shot Zhao Jia, who had the least amount of alcohol, and fell to the ground unconscious.

  Li Xin instructed the servants of the Hou residence to prepare the room, and asked Zhao Yi to help his father go down to rest.

  After the banquet was over, Li Xin was also a little tired, he supported his aching head and went back to his room in the backyard.

At this time, the nine princesses were packing up the odds and ends brought from the southwest in the room. Seeing Li Xin stumbled in, she quickly stood up to support Li Xin, and sighed softly: “If you drink, drink, where can you drink for an hour or two? This family still depends on you to support it, if you drink and hurt your body…”

  Li Xin was supported by her and sat beside the bed, shook his head and smiled wryly: “You have to drink the wine you should drink, these are the companions who share weal and woe with our family…”

   Nine Princesses snorted softly.

   “As of now, if you don’t drink, there are still people who dare to make you drink?”

   Governor Li smiled bitterly: “It’s just a gathering of friends, how dare you say that?”

  The nine princesses helped him to lie on the bed, then sat on the edge of the bed, holding Li Xin’s cold hand, frowning: “You are afraid of the cold, and you don’t know how to wear more in winter.”

   After saying this, she got up and picked up the bamboo clip beside the bed, added a few pieces of charcoal to the copper stove next to it, and then picked it up gently.

  Li Xin was lying on the bed halfway, looking at the nine princesses who were busy beside him, and asked softly, “Madam, you… won’t you blame me?”

   Nine Princesses paused, put down the bamboo clip in her hand, and sat beside Li Xin, sighing with a complicated expression,

“I have been in the southwest for these years, and I often think, if you are not so capable, you don’t need to be the marquis of Jing’an, and you don’t need to be a general. After we get married, we will live in the concubine’s mansion, and you will make it for me every day. Let’s have some food, and then we can grow up a few children together, and live a normal life, which is also good.”

   She took Li Xin’s hand with a faint tone.

   “It’s a pity that you are too capable, just like… just like Master Ye.”

  The nine princesses held Li Xin’s hand, warmed him, and said softly: “I know your temperament, and you will never be locked at home like Master Ye, for decades at a time.”

   Li Xin lay on the bed and slowly closed his eyes: “Actually, Master Ye himself would not be imprisoned for decades.”

   “His temper is much more grumpy than mine.”

Compared with Li Xin, Ye Sheng is definitely a violent temper, but the two masters and apprentices took two diametrically opposite paths. This does not mean that Ye Sheng is more cowardly than Li Xin, but the two people grew up in completely different environments, which led them to Their world outlook, outlook on life, and values ​​are all different. If the two had exchanged experiences since childhood, Old Man Ye might have been thinking about how to rebel at the age of twelve or thirteen!

   Princess Nine pulled up the quilt on Li Xin’s body, and then continued: “Don’t worry, after I married you more than ten years ago, it was the Li family.”

   She gently pulled the quilt away, put her clothes on beside Li Xin, and slowly closed her eyes.

   “Just think it’s for the children.”

   After saying this, she lay quietly in Li Xin’s arms, her voice soft.

   “I want to go to Zhaoling to see the emperor.”

   Having said this, she paused, and then continued: “And seventh brother.”

  Li Xin didn’t open his eyes, his tone was gentle.

   “Go wherever you want.”

  …………

This sleep lasted until the evening, when Li Xin got up from the “Gentle Township”. The days are short in winter, and it was almost dark at this time, and the temperature was lower than that in the daytime. Li Xin put on a thick layer of Qiu Zi, walked out of his yard and walked into the warm pavilion in the backyard.

   He sat down on the low table in the warm pavilion, then lit the small stove and made tea.

The way of drinking tea in this era is not the same as the way of drinking tea in later generations. Various strange condiments are often added to the tea, such as horse milk spices, but Li Xin always drinks tea by boiling it. Tea, and even Zhao Jia and others, followed him to drink this white water tea.

   After the teapot in front of Li Xin boiled twice, a middle-aged man dressed in white came to the door of the Nuan Pavilion under the guidance of the servants of the Hou residence and sat down opposite Li Xin.

Li Xin Baibu squeezed the steaming teapot in front of him, poured a cup of tea for Zhao Jia in front of him, then filled the teacup in front of him, and then said with a smile: “After Zhao Pushe became prime minister, he can sleep better than before. After a lot, I just woke up now.”

   Zhao Jia rubbed his aching temples and said with a wry smile, “It’s really too much to drink, Lord Hou, you are trying to drink me wine at noon, how can I support it?”

   He took a few breaths, sipped a cup of hot tea, and let out a breath of hot air, which made the whole person feel a lot more comfortable.

  He looked up at Li Xin, and asked softly, “Master Hou deliberately got me drunk, is there anything you want to talk to me about?”

   Li Xin himself took a sip of tea and spit out a white mist from his mouth.

   “Mu Ying and Li Shuo both want me to ascend to the throne as soon as possible. Depending on what they mean, it won’t be long before the yellow robe will be added.”

  Li Xin looked up at Zhao Jia and said softly, “Brother You An, what do you mean?”

  Although he doesn’t quite understand the allusions of “Huangpao plus body”, but Zhao Jia can guess some of the superficial meaning. He held the teacup in front of him and smiled slightly: “You don’t need to ask me about this question, Lord Hou.”

   “Everyone in the Southwest lineage wants Lord Hou to ascend to the throne as soon as possible, so that he can change his body and become a hero of the founding of the country, and I am no exception. After all, Lord Hou ascends the throne one day earlier, and those of us can rest assured one day earlier.”

   Li Xin frowned slightly and continued to ask, “Brother You An, do you think the time is right now?”

   “As long as you have this will, Lord Hou, any time is appropriate.”

Zhao Jia looked calm, smiled and said, “The difference is only in how many people to kill. At this moment, Lord Hou only needs to be ruthless and kill all the Ji family’s clan, and no one in the court will speak out against Lord Hou taking this step. As for the murder, you don’t need to do it yourself, Lord Hou.”

   “General Mu and General Li will be happy to do this.”

   Governor Li frowned and said: “The problem is that the people of the Ji family have not lost their hearts. At this time, the world is changing surnames, and it is not only the Ji family’s clan that will be killed, but there may be thousands of people in the world.”

   “That’s why I didn’t rush to persuade Lord Hou to take the right place.”

Zhao Jia finished drinking the tea in the cup, reached out and lifted the teapot, filled his own cup and Li Xin’s cup respectively, and then continued: “Of course, there is not much problem in doing this, the common people are always afraid of death, killing When some people show it to them, it doesn’t matter what the people’s hearts are not.”

   He looked up at Li Xin, his voice a little low.

   “The key is to look at you, Lord Hou, what are your thoughts?”
