Unparalleled Concubine

   Chapter 626 The Tomb Keeper of Zhaoling

  Zhuxia people have a very strange consensus, that is, they often integrate their individual lives into a collective life, and the collective "identity" is usually a family.

  People in the family sometimes don't take their own lives seriously. As long as the family can benefit, or can continue to be better, these people are serious about going through fire and water, and they will do anything.

   Even in the eyes of outsiders, even if a family is completely dead, as long as one incense seedling is left, then this "collective life" will not die, at most it will only decline.

Because of this "consensus", during the Spring and Autumn Period, there was even a tradition of "remaining and dying" among countries. It would not easily cut off the blood of a family. Even after personally destroying a country, it would help the descendants of this country to re-establish their ancestry. temple.

   Therefore, in Li Shen's eyes, even if the Li Ye family died, there should be a little incense left behind, and it could not be completely extinguished.

   This is the bottom line.

   Therefore, the most important thing in life is Li Shen, even if he made a big mistake at the beginning, Li Shen, who did not bow his head to admit his mistake to Li Xin a few years ago, at this time, in a tone of almost pleading, begging Li Xin to help the Li Ye family to leave a bloodline.

   Li Xin stopped walking towards the gate of the yard, and finally continued to walk without responding, but went back to the eldest princess' yard to rest.

Early the next morning, Li Xin deliberately got up half an hour early. After standing on the fist pile for an hour, the sky just started to light up. He asked Chen Shiliu to prepare a carriage and wait at the back door, and then he personally Going to the gate of Li Shen's courtyard, he picked up the former Great General of Zhuguo.

When    left the yard, Mrs. Yu followed. Although she did not speak, she looked at Li Xin with pleading eyes.

   Li Shen patted her on the shoulder and said with relief: "Don't worry, I just went to see my old friend, and I'll come back to accompany you later."

  Mrs. Yu's eyes were slightly red, and she finally nodded weakly.

   Today, they are relying on others, and they are fish and meat on the case, whether they are willing or not, that is, the difference between fluttering on the chopping board or not.

Meaningless.

   Li Shen easily got on the carriage that Li Xin had prepared for him, and then, under the protection of twenty or thirty Yulin guards, left the city from the east gate of the capital and rushed to Zhaoling.

   Zhaoling is about 20 miles northeast of the capital, and it takes more than an hour for a carriage to drive there.

The father and son were sitting in the carriage, Li Xin closed his eyes and said nothing, but the former General Zhu Guo looked relaxed, and when he was about to leave the city gate, he suddenly opened his mouth and said, "I'm here to see friends, no Go empty-handed and buy me a jar of wine and some incense paper money, how about you?"

  Li Xin didn't open his eyes, he just said lightly: "Sixteen, bring someone to buy it for him."

  Chen Shiliu only had one arm left, so it was very inconvenient to do things, so he naturally had to take someone with him to buy things.

   After a while, he and a Yulin guard bought things back, put them in the carriage, and the carriage slowly started again, heading for the east gate.

  This carriage was the carriage of the Marquis of Jing'an. The soldiers guarding the city were the most conspicuous, and naturally no one dared to stop it. The carriage went out of the east gate smoothly, and Li Xin never said much along the way.

   On the contrary, Li Shen was the first to speak.

   This serious middle-aged man, who had always had a straight face, was unexpectedly relaxed at this time.

   "Guess how many people are staring at us from the back of the carriage at this time?"

   Li Xin closed his eyes and did not answer.

   Li Shen was not embarrassed, but continued to ask.

   "You made such a big contribution this time, what kind of official did the emperor give you?"

  Li Xin opened his eyes and glanced at Li Shen.

   "Prince Prince Taishi, Minister of War."

  Li Shen took a deep breath and said slowly: "The emperor treats you so favorably, do you feel uneasy in your heart?"

   Li Xin sneered: "Not everyone lives like a general, Li Xin has his own way of living."

   "You have long been afraid in your heart. You are afraid that one day you will be cooked by the emperor."

   Li Shen said indifferently: "So when you were in the southwest, you started to plan and make plans for yourself."

   "But you went the wrong way."

   "You have two paths. One is like Ping Nanjun. Do your own business and don't pay attention to the court. The other is like your teacher. Be honest and don't have any bad thoughts."

"But on the one hand, you are attached to the imperial court, and on the other hand, you have your own careful thinking. Once the emperor found out that you had colluded with the Pingnan Army, let go of more than 50,000 Pingnan Army, and lied about the number of enemies killed by the forbidden army, then At that time, even if the emperor won't do anything to you on the surface, secretly he will be away from you."

   "How should you deal with yourself in the future?"

   Li Xin smiled lightly: "This is my own business, and has nothing to do with the general, right?"

  Li Shen took a deep breath and said solemnly: "If possible, I hope you can help a bunch of Li Ye, their family is innocent."

   Li Xin closed his eyes and ignored him.

   After an hour passed, Zhaoling was already in sight. Because it was the imperial tomb, and there were guards guarding the entrance, Li Xin jumped out of the carriage first, revealing his identity.

   "Li Xin of the Ministry of War, on the order of His Majesty, came to visit the mausoleum."

   It was impossible for him to hide from the emperor that he came to Zhaoling, so he did not intend to hide it. He came here with the consent of the emperor Taikang.

   After verifying the identity of the guards of the imperial tomb, they all moved out of the way and bowed their heads deeply to Li Xin.

   "Master Li, please."

  Li Xin turned his head and asked Chen Shiliu and the Yulin guards to wait at the entrance of the imperial tomb. He personally led Li Shen, from the Zhaoling Shinto, to the imperial tomb step by step.

On both sides of the    Shinto, there are a pair of stone lions, stone tigers, and stone elephants on both sides, and a pair of tall, mighty, civil and military stone men split to the left and right, guarding the imperial mausoleum for the Holy Son of Heaven.

   After passing through Lingxingmen from Shinto, we will soon reach the main part of the imperial tomb.

  Li Xin walked in front with his hands behind his back, while Li Shen walked in the back with a jar of wine, incense, candles, paper money, and other sacrificial offerings.

   After about a column of incense, they walked to the Palace of the Emperor of Chengde, where the portrait of the Emperor of Chengde hangs. Under the portrait, there are incense burners and spiritual places. This is the place where the Emperor of Chengde enjoys worship.

  The emperor used the mountain as the mausoleum, so the coffin of the emperor of Chengde was not buried under the Xiangdian, but in the underground palace under the whole hill. If you want to worship him, you usually come to the Xiangdian to offer incense.

   Li Xin's identity is, although Zhaoling was heavily guarded, he still walked to the Xiangdian very smoothly.

  The incense burns in the Hall of Enjoyment, and the huge candles have not been extinguished since the emperor was buried three years ago.

   There was an old man with pale hair, who served in front of the emperor's spiritual seat in Chengde, and kept the fire in the hall unextinguishable every day.

   Li Xin stepped forward, first kowtowed a few times to the spiritual seat of the emperor of Chengde, then stood up and saluted the gray-haired old man.

   "Grand Duke is good."

  This old man was the **** with the most authority in the court and opposition during the Chengde Dynasty, the Grand Duke Chen Ju.

   Until now, he is still the **** of the **** in the palace, while Xiao Zheng is only the young eunuch.

  Chen Ju was originally wiping the table, when he heard the words, he looked back at Li Xin, and then at Li Shen behind Li Xin, then sighed and walked slowly towards Li Xin.

   He went straight past Li Xin and walked to Li Shen.

   "Master Pingnan, you are finally here."
