Unparalleled Concubine

   Chapter 608 Are you afraid?

  No one is a fool.

   Although the emperor Taikang said it very euphemistically, the eldest princess could still hear it. Another meaning of the emperor's words was that Li Xin could never leave the capital again.

   At least he can't leave the capital to lead troops.

   This was originally something the eldest princess wanted to see, but when the emperor said this, the taste changed.

   She didn't want Li Xin to be bound forever in the capital for such ridiculous reasons.

The eldest princess put down the bowls and chopsticks in her hand, and smiled at the emperor: "If Chang'an can stay in the capital forever, it will be good, but the man's ambition is in all directions, if the court needs to use him, The royal brother doesn't have to take care of his ministers and sisters."

   "It is not easy for the emperor to support the huge court by himself. The spirit of the past few years is obviously not as good as the previous years. If Chang'an can help the emperor, the ministers and sisters are also happy."

The Son of Heaven smiled and said: "Of course he wants to help me, and he can't run away, but he doesn't need to leave the capital to help me. Now that the southwest has been settled, and there are the Zhong family and Ye family in the north, it can be considered stable. In the future, Chang'an will be fine. Stay in the capital with peace of mind and help me handle state affairs."

   "Although he is a military officer, he has more hearts than a few Saisukes in the three provinces. The world is at peace, and it would be a pity to put him in the army. With him in the capital, I can give him a lot of things to do."

  The implication of the emperor is to let Li Xin contact the affairs of Wenchen.

In this era, some Tang Dynasty like Li Xin's world, the civil and military officers are not as distinct as Song Ming. For example, Li Shen, a frontier general, can return to the capital to be a serious military minister, not just a distant Hang a title of Minister of War.

The eldest princess can still accept this idea. After all, the world is safe now. It is better to be a civil servant in the capital than to lead troops to fight outside, but because of the last incident, she has a little heart for the emperor. I was wary, so I didn't answer.

   just smiled and said to the emperor Taikang: "Brother Huang, these are all matters between you and Chang'an. My sister is a lazy person, so I can't be bothered to ask about it."

   Having said that, Her Royal Highness the eldest princess has almost no flaws, and has tried her best not to affect Li Xin's encounter choices.

  The emperor glanced at his sister, with a smile on his face, but he still sighed slightly in his heart.

  Women's University is not helpless.

  My own sister is now completely in the Li family, and is not of the same mind as the Tian family.

  Thinking of this, his heart was somewhat complicated.

This is the sister of his direct relative. Because she was born to a mother, the emperor has been particularly fond of her since he was a child, almost holding it in the palm of his hand. At the beginning, she took the most beloved dark cloud horse from the Wei Palace and gave it to Li Xin. The emperor didn't say much.

   How long has she known Li Xin...

  Thinking of this, the emperor sighed in his heart, but with a smile on his face, he said, "Forget it, I'll talk about it after Chang'an returns to Beijing."

   "This time he has made a huge contribution. After he comes back, I have to reward him well."

Having said that, the emperor glanced at the eldest princess and smiled: "When he comes back, Xiao Jiu, you also work harder to give birth to a nephew as soon as possible, and when my nephew is born, I will immediately give him an earl. "

   The general reward is either directly to the minister himself, or to the heir of Minister Enyin. Since the emperor wants to add the son of Li Xin, the implication is that he will not give Li Xin a particularly heavy reward.

   At the very least, Li Xin's Marquis of Jing'an will not become a duke.

In fact, this is also a reasonable thing. After all, in the entire Jin Dynasty, there is only a different surname like Chen Guogong Ye Sheng, and Ye Sheng still has the merit of destroying the country. Today's Li Xin is better than Ye Sheng. Somewhat worse.

  The nine princesses don't care much about these things. After all, she was born in the royal family since she was a child, so she is not too sensitive about titles and the like. Wen Yan just smiled and didn't say much.

After the two brothers and sisters had eaten for a while, the emperor stood up lazily and smiled at the nine princesses: "Okay, Xiaojiu, I still have things to do here, you go to the harem first to say hello to the mother, her old man. But I said, you haven't been in the palace to see her for some days."

   The nine princesses got up and saluted: "My minister and sister follow the order."

  …………

  Taikang three years in the middle of June, the weather is hot, and the air has some faint distortions because of the heat.

   On the official road west of the capital, a huge convoy of more than a dozen carriages gave up their journey because of the heat, and stopped under a herbal tea shop to drink tea.

   However, there were too many people in this group, there were nearly 700 people, and the stall owner of the herbal tea shop was too busy to bring a bowl of tea to each of them.

   However, everyone in the Imperial Army had their own water bag, and they each found a few shaded places to rest and kept wiping away sweat.

   Yu Linwei's people were also very hot, and they each found a place to rest. Xiao Zheng and a few Neiwei people sat on the herbal tea stand and sipped the herbal tea with great gulps.

  The fat man Ji Ku and his concubines were also sitting under the herbal tea shop.

   In the entire convoy, only the carriage of Pingnan Hou Li Shen was silent. The husband and wife were bored in the carriage and did not come out.

  The Marquis of Jing'an couldn't stand the weather either, so he sat in front of the carriage to rest. The little guy Zhao Fang sat beside Li Xin and fanned Li Xin hard.

  Li Xinxin wiped the sweat from his sleeves, turned his head to look at Zhao Fang, and said with a smile, "Is it hot?"

This kind of weather is not necessarily unacceptable to children from ordinary families, but Zhao Fang is the grandson of the Li family in Zhao County. Since childhood, the family has ice in the summer, and the Li family in Zhao County is in the north. , the summer will not be so hot here in the capital.

  The little guy had sweat on his forehead, shook his head and said, "It's not hot."

  The Marquis of Jing An patted his head and smiled: "Fan yourself, don't go to the capital, you will die of heat outside the capital. If you really want to die from the heat, the fate between us will be great."

   He froze to death. If Zhao Fang died of heat, they would have a great fate.

   The little guy naturally couldn't understand the meaning of Li Xin's words. He fanned himself a few times and let out a long breath.

   "Teacher, how long does it take to get to the capital?"

  Li Xin pointed to the east and said, "Did you see it?"

   The little guy stood up and didn't see anything, so he climbed a little higher, climbed to the top of the carriage, and looked around.

   To the east, there is a great city, standing proudly.

  The city wall of this big city was rebuilt after Emperor Wu of the Great Jin Dynasty ruled the world. The highest part is five or six feet high, and the shortest part is three or four feet high.

   Not to mention anything else, at least for now, this capital is truly the No. 1 city in the world.

   The little guy was watching from the top of the carriage. Li Xin sat below and said with a smile, "Did you see it?"

   "I see."

   Zhao Fang muttered to himself: "What a big city..."

   When Zhao Fang was born, the Northern Zhou Dynasty had already perished. He had never been to the capital of the Northern Zhou Dynasty. Even if he had, the capital of the Northern Zhou Dynasty at this time would not have the atmosphere of the capital of the Great Jin Dynasty.

  The Marquis of Jing'an also stood up and glanced at the capital not far away.

   "80% of the conspiracy and tricks in the world are in this big city."

   He looked up at Zhao Fang and smiled.

   "Look at the distance, we should be able to go to the capital tonight."

   "Are you afraid?"
