The penalty for half a year was Li Xin's expression of his attitude towards this so-called "auspicious". Zhao Jia also did it according to Li Xin's words, but before doing this, Zhao Xiang invited Zhou Youyi to his house for a meal.

Originally, Zhao Jia was unwilling to make friends with villains like Zhou Youyi, no matter what, but now Zhao Jia or Southwest Group needs people like Zhou Youyi to stand up to drive the wind in the court.

In addition, the attitude of Jing'an Marquis's mansion on this matter is quite ambiguous.

As long as you pass the imperial examination, landlords will naturally come to your hometown and personally attach the land to your name. Therefore, except for some scholars who are serious and despised or disdainful of scholars such as gentry and landlords, other scholars can get a considerable income from their land every year. People who are speculative to this level of ​​life will naturally not give up this wealth.

Therefore, the punishment of half a year in salary fines can only be regarded as a small warning and is not harmful at all.

The Jing'an Marquis' Mansion gave such ambiguous treatment. The prime minister in charge of the Shangshu Dean invited Zhou Youyi to his house for a meal. The two things combined together have given enough hints to the officials in the court.

It can be foreseeable that in the next period of time, "auspicious auspicious" similar to this kind of white Ganoderma lucidum will appear frequently. When there are enough auspicious auspiciousness and the Jing'an Marquis Mansion does not have strong punishment measures, these speculators will start to persuade them to come in.

No matter which method it is, it is something that Zhao Jia and Mu Ying and other southwest forces are happy to see, so Zhao Jia even made the outcome clear as the prime minister.

As expected, in the three months after Zhou Youyi's first auspiciousness, the court received more than ten "auspiciousness" pieces. Some of these auspiciousness were huge turtles, and some were strange stones that emerged from the water. Most of them had "seal scripts" representing the will of heaven. Most of the contents of seal scripts were similar to prophecies such as "The destiny of heaven is in Miao". Of course, some of them had a more clever idea, and some simply wrote a simple and easy-to-guess riddle like "Eighteen Sons, the World".

Most of the officials in the court remained silent about these "auspicious auspiciousness". Although the emperor was angry, he could only pretend that he had not seen it. As for the Governor Li in the Marquis of Jing'an, he ignored it, as if he never knew that there were these things.

However, the undeniable fact is that most of the officials who offered "auspiciousness" were not punished except for Zhou Youyi who was fined for half a year.

So these people seemed to see a long-range sky and became even more fanatical.

At this time, it was already late autumn of the first year of Yankang, and the new emperor had ascended the throne for nearly a year.

Governor Li, who lived in seclusion, also walked out of the Jing'an Marquis Mansion. He wore a thick cotton suit. He first walked around the various yards of the capital, then went to the Yulinwei Camp in the south of the city to take a look. Finally, he sat in the black carriage from the Jing'an Marquis Mansion, left the city from the East City Gate, and walked towards a small hill in the east of the city.

Less than an hour after the carriage left, he stopped at the destination. Li Xin walked off the carriage and looked up at the hill in front of him, which was not very tall but not short.

The emperor used hills as his tombs, which was Tai Mausoleum, the seventh emperor of the Great Jin Dynasty and Emperor Jing.

It is now the first year of Yankang, and it has been six years since Emperor Jing passed away.

What happened in these six years is much greater than the changes that happened in the entire ten years during the Taikang period.

Li Xin looked up at the long shrine at the foot of the long mountain, and quietly climbed up the stairs with two jars of wine in his hand.

The Shinto was very long. He walked for almost half an hour before he walked into the Tailing Temple in Tailing.

The so-called Tailing Hall is the Enjoy Hall of the Imperial Tomb. It enshrines the tablets, portraits of Emperor Jing, and the achievements of the emperor throughout his life.

Because not long after Emperor Jing passed away, the incense of Tailing was very prosperous. There were more than a dozen eunuchs in the only one temple to sweep and serve them every day. The entire temple was not only clean, but also the incense of the spiritual altar before the tablets was always in full swing.

Li Xin walked into the Enjoy Hall with a jar of wine in his hand, and then silently said to the dozen eunuchs in the hall: "You all go out."

At this time, Li Xin had been in charge of the capital for nearly a year. Even the eunuchs who guarded the imperial tomb knew who had the final say in the court. So after hearing Li Xin's words, they quickly responded respectfully and then withdrew from the Enjoy Hall of Tailing.

Outside the gate of the Xiangdian, there are dozens of personal guards from the Jing'an Marquis' Mansion, and no one is allowed to enter and exit.

When there was only one person left in the hall, Li Xin looked up silently, looked at Emperor Jing's portrait for a long time, and finally sighed silently, sat on the cushion in front of the spiritual position, and looked up at Emperor Yan.

"I haven't returned to the capital for several years. I should have come here to see you as soon as I come back, but..."

Li Xin sat on the cushion, sprinkled the spirit of the wine jar in his hand in front of the Emperor Taikang, and then smiled bitterly: "But after all, I didn't come back seriously, so I felt embarrassed to come over."

"I used to believe that there will be spirits after death, but then I thought, since I have spirits after death, you should have spirits after death."

"Before the Southwest Army entered Beijing, you came to see me, right?"

Li Xin looked up at Emperor Taikang in the portrait and smiled self-deprecatingly: "It's useless for you to see me. I still have to fight the capital. At that moment, not to mention that your son is on the throne, even if you are on the throne, I will grit your teeth and pull you down."

Li Xin poured about half a jar of Zhurong wine on the ground, then raised his head and took a big sip, his face flushed by the strong wine.

He finally recovered and described it as a little embarrassed.

"I'm not really suitable for being a big shot."

Li Xin put the wine jar in front of him, wiped the wine from his face with his hands, and said silently: "If I were a big man, my ancestral temple would probably have been demolished by me now, and there were not many families with Ji surnamed in the capital. At this time, the world had already had a surname of Li, and it had nothing to do with your Ji family anymore."

"I am still a little person in my heart."

Li Xin sat in the Tailing Hall without any image and laughed at himself: "So until now, I am still a little embarrassed about your family."

He seemed to be talking to himself, or he seemed to be talking to someone in the dark.

"Actually, when I first met you, I knew very well that if you want to use me, I also want to use you. You and I are at most ally, and there is no word for a friend."

"I couldn't figure out whether I had been your friend until the whole Taikang Chao."

"Until you're leaving..."

"Didn't take me with you."

Li Xin closed his eyes and said silently: "At that time, I was already a threat from the court. You can take me with you, but you didn't. From that time on, I think we two may have been friends for many years."

"Since you treat me as a friend, I treat you as a friend, too."

Li Xin sat on the cushion and muttered to himself.

"It has come to this point, neither I nor the Southwest Army will look back. You are my friends, and so are those of them."

"I will leave bloody descendants for your eldest son."

"Now they are pushing me very tight..."

Li Xin's face turned red and his voice became a little blurred.
