Unparalleled Concubine

   Chapter 76 Temptation

  In the side hall of Changle Palace, Emperor Chengde sat on the soft couch, glanced at the young man kneeling in front of him, and coughed softly, "Are you Li Xin?"

   Li Xin, dressed in the black armor of Yu Linwei, knelt on one knee on the ground, and said respectfully, "Li Xin, the humble post, meet your majesty."

  Emperor Chengde's face sank, and he deliberately lowered his voice: "A few days ago, you wrote the song about the charcoal seller in the capital?"

  Li Xin didn't dare to look up, and said abruptly: "It was written by the humble post. The humble post was bullied at that time, and there was no way to appeal. This is the only way to do this. Please forgive me."

   "There is no way to appeal, can you smear my reputation?"

The Chengde Emperor's tone was neither sad nor happy, Li Xin couldn't understand what His Majesty the Emperor meant, so he could only bow his head and smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty, when the people from Jingzhao Mansion came to burn down the low-ranking house, they really said that they would replace the Your Majesty's Beishan siege to clear the road, if it weren't for the people from Jingzhao Mansion, even if you have the courage, you would not dare to mention your Majesty..."

  Emperor Chengde stood up from the soft couch, walked to Li Xin's side, circled around the young man, and said indifferently, "Stand up and raise your head."

  Looking up to the king, there is a suspicion of assassinating the king and killing him, so any courtier will bow his head when facing the saint, but now it is the emperor's own request, Li Xin has no choice but to stand up and slowly raise his head.

The emperor in front of him is not as bright yellow as Li Xin's eyes, but is wearing light blue clothes. He looks about fifty years old. His hair has turned some white, but his beard is still black. Look. Feeling very spiritual.

When Li Xin looked at the emperor of Chengde, the emperor of Chengde was also looking at Li Xin. After looking up and down, the emperor of Chengde clapped his hands and smiled: "When you and Li Shen were young, they were born a lot alike. It's just that he's shorter than he was when he was a teenager."

The emperor of Chengde grew up with Li Shen, the Marquis of Pingnan when he was a child. Until eighteen years ago, before he became the emperor, the relationship between the two was extraordinary, except that one of them later became emperor, and the other went to southern Xinjiang and became a peacekeeper. Nanhou, it has been three or four years since the two rulers and ministers have not seen each other.

   Li Xin took a deep breath.

It stands to reason that the person he is facing is the emperor of Dajin. Before the "God" appeared, he was the emperor of Dajin. Whatever the emperor said, he should do what he should do, but Li Xin inherited the "unlucky" The memory of "child", he was extremely disgusted with that scumbag in his bones. Hearing this, he immediately clasped his fists and bowed his head: "Your Majesty, it is not surprising that people are similar."

  Emperor Chengde was stunned for a while, then sat back on his soft couch, and said indifferently: "It seems that you have a lot of resentment towards Li Shen."

   If Li Ye or the Seventh Prince asked this question, Li Xin would probably have kept his mouth shut, but now he was facing the emperor of the dynasty, and the emperor had to ask questions, and he had to answer.

   Li Xin lowered his head and said, "Go back to Your Majesty, I have just been in the capital for over a month, and I don't know who Li Shen is."

Hearing these words of "no big or small", Emperor Chengde was a little angry, and was about to scold, but he hesitated for a while, did not say it, just shook his head: "Forget it, I don't want to be involved in the family affairs of your Li family. He, Li Shen, he should return to the capital this year, when the two of you meet, you can solve it yourself."

   Li Xinxin let out a long sigh of relief.

   This emperor is quite reasonable. If he is unreasonable and forces himself to go to Pingnan Houfu to recognize his relatives, then with Li Xin's current ability, there is no room for resistance.

   Li Xin knelt on the ground, bowed his head and said, "I am humble, thank you Your Majesty for your understanding."

  Emperor Chengde squinted his eyes and said indifferently: "You write poems to ridicule me, I don't care about you, and I don't care about your background. Now I ask you, how did you meet my nine princesses?"

   Li Xin sweated on his forehead.

   He knew the little girl because of the seventh prince Ji Wen, but the emperor obviously didn't know that the seventh prince had a relationship with him, so he couldn't tell the seventh prince directly...

  If the Highness of the King of Wei is confessed, it is possible to draw out the behind-the-scenes driving force of the "big character poster", and I am afraid that there will be more trouble at that time.

   Li Xin lowered his head and said solemnly, "Go back to Your Majesty, I don't recognize His Royal Highness the Ninth Princess..."

  Emperor Chengde fell silent.

  The princess should have concealed her identity when she left the palace, so how should I explain to this stunned young man now, who is the Ninth Princess?

   Can you gesture with him with your hands, what does your daughter look like?

This kind of rude thing, as the emperor, is naturally incapable of doing it, Emperor Chengde coughed and said solemnly: "It's just a little girl who likes food very much, the Tianmujian said that the nine princesses have gone to Your yard, it's impossible for you not to recognize her."

  Li Xin suddenly realized: "It turned out to be Miss Jiu."

The young man lowered his head, rolled his eyes, and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, when I was at home, I liked to get some novel food, and then it was spread out for some reason, and Miss Jiu went to my home and ate several times. pause."

Having said this, Li Xin bowed his head and smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty, the humble post is a grass-roots citizen. Although I didn't know the identity of the nine princesses before, I can see that the little nine girl is either rich or noble, and the humble post has never made any difference to the little nine girl. If you think about it, please, Your Majesty, look carefully…”

Emperor Chengde accepted this explanation. After all, his ninth girl really liked to eat. He took a sip of the tea on the table and said calmly: "Let's put this matter here for the time being, and I will ask you, why do you want to join Yu? Lin Wei?"

   Li Xin answered this question without hesitation.

   "Returning to Your Majesty, I came to Beijing because I wanted to contribute a little to the great promotion. On that day, Captain Zhang Wei of Yulinwei invited me to join Yulinwei. Without thinking, I nodded and agreed."

At this point, the emperor of Chengde basically knew what he wanted to know. At this time, the conversation between the two of them also went on for a long time. There were still many memorials sent by Shangshutai that had not been reviewed. The emperor of Chengde waved his hand immediately. : "Okay, even if you can talk, stop here today."

   After that, the emperor turned his head and glanced at Chen Ju, and said casually, "What position is this kid in Yulinwei?"

   Chen Ju said in a low voice, "He's a team deputy. He's only been in Yulinwei for about half a month. This position is not low."

   "Lower."

  The Emperor Chengde said indifferently: "Go back and say hello to Ye Lin and ask him to get this kid a captain."

If it is another yamen official, the promotion must go through the examination and verification of the Ministry of Personnel or the Ministry of War. It cannot be ruled out, but Yulinwei and Neiwei are both pro-armies directly under the emperor. In this pro-military, the emperor said If so, it can be directly used as a command.

  Chen Ju nodded: "Old slave knows."

Emperor Chengde glanced at Li Xin again, and said earnestly: "I know that you have been living abroad for so many years, you may have suffered a lot, and some resentment is a matter of course, but after all, blood is thicker than water, waiting for your father to return. After Beijing, you have to have a good talk with him."

  Li Xin was a little angry, but his expression remained the same, and he bowed his head and said respectfully: "I will obey my orders."

  Emperor Chengde hesitated for a while, and then continued: "The Li family's generation is thin. If you return to the Li family, it is not impossible for me to marry Xiaojiu. The benefits and the benefits, you can think clearly for yourself."

   Li Xin knelt on the ground, bowed his head and said, "I know about the humble post."

   Emperor Chengde waved his hand.

   "Forget it, you go down."

"Yes."

  Li Xin bent over and stepped back.

After entering the palace, he was promoted by the way. It should be a happy event, but Li Xinxin did not have much joy. He knew very well that the reason why he was promoted was because the emperor of Chengde was serving for that young man. Pingnanhou in the capital compensated himself.

   This compensation, Li Xin was unwilling to ask for, but he couldn't defy the emperor face to face.

But no matter what others say or who said it, Li Xin's bottom line will not change, because the former Li Xin of the Li family has frozen to death, and in any case, he will never enter Pingnanhou in this life. The government is to be a son.

   What's more, now the Pingnan Houfu has formed a grudge against him.

  Li Xin withdrew from Changle Palace, his face sinking like water.
