Chapter 163 Don't you mind?
The seventh day of the sixth lunar month is the 45th birthday of Emperor Chengde.
This emperor ascended the throne at the age of 26, and this year it is the 19th year.
Emperor Chengde was the ruler of the Great Jin Dynasty. Although he was not as good as the late emperor's martial arts, the living conditions of the people of the Great Jin Dynasty during the Chengde period were far better than those of the late emperor's dynasty.
Moreover, although this emperor gradually became rich with the Jin Dynasty, he did not have many extravagant behaviors. The treasury in the palace was even free of charge every year. The treasury that was released was taken out by Emperor Chengde or rewarded people or did good deeds.
In short, this is an emperor who is very popular with the people, at least he is much more popular with the people than the military and powerful late emperor.
The birth date of the Holy Emperor naturally shocked the whole city. Many ordinary people did not have the opportunity to see the Emperor, so they set up a temple at home and gave tributes to pray for the Holy Emperor.
Originally, a little shrimp like Li Xin had no chance to see Emperor Chengde at this time, but fortunately, there was a ninth princess beside him, who asked the ninth princess for his blessing. Li Xin was at the gate of Princess Qinghe's mansion early in the morning and was about to enter the palace with Ji Lingxiu.
As long as you are an official in the court, you will have at least three sets of clothes, official clothes, regular clothes and dresses. Yulin Guards like Li Xin will also have a set of armor clothes.
Because it is divided into military officers, Yulinwei's dress is not a long gown with wide sleeves, but a black black dress with tight sleeves. A snow-white tiger is embroidered on the front, which looks very majestic.
The patterns of the Yulin Guards and the inner guards in the capital are all tigers, symbolizing the two tigers guarding the real dragon, each with a tiger flag, but the colors of the two guards are different. The red-bottomed yellow tigers in the inner guards, and the Yulin Guards are white tigers in the black-bottomed white tigers.
The color of the two-bay dresses was also determined according to this.
People rely on clothes and horses rely on saddles. Li Xin usually wears that black regular dress at most without any patterns. This is the first time he wears the Yulinwei dress. Now he has grown a lot taller and is thinner. He looks much more energetic when wearing this outfit.
Ji Lingxiu, who walked out of Princess Qinghe's mansion, looked up and down at Li Xin, and snorted: "I dress more seriously, but I still look a little."
The black clothes absorbed heat. Although it was already a little hot in the morning, Li Xin coughed and greeted the Yulin Guard who was guarding the princess next to him: "Go away."
Ji Lingxiu took two steps forward, pulled Li Xin's sleeve, and asked in a low voice: "What have you prepared for your father?"
Li Xinshen said mysteriously: "The princess is in the sedan chair, I will never let you be embarrassed in front of His Majesty later."
The Ninth Princess glanced at Li Xin with skepticism, and finally got into her own sedan chair. Li Xin turned over the dark cloud horse and walked towards the direction of the palace city.
When they arrived at the gate of Yong'an Gate, horses and sedan chairs could not enter, but Ji Lingxiu was born as a princess. Soon after, two little eunuchs carried a sedan chair of two and invited the Princess Qinghe.
Li Xin followed Ji Lingxiu and entered the imperial city.
The sedan chair that can walk in the imperial city is actually the kind of open-air lifting chair, and can only sit on one person. On the one hand, it cannot hide people, and on the other hand, it is also afraid that someone will enter the palace with weapons hidden.
In addition to this kind of sedan chair, if you can walk in the imperial city, only the imperial city with the imperial power is licensed to ride horses. However, only those who are extremely ministers are qualified to enjoy. In the entire Jin Dynasty, only Duke Chen Ye Sheng received this treatment. However, the husband Ye was confined to himself and had not left the Duke Chen's mansion for more than ten years.
Li Xin followed the Ninth Princess's sedan chair with a regular manner and entered the inner palace.
The imperial city is divided into two cities inside and outside. The outer city is just a place where various yamen in the capital gather, such as the three provinces, the six ministries, and the censorate, etc., all of which are in the outer city of the imperial city.
The inner palace is the real imperial palace, where the emperor and concubines live.
During the Yulinwei rotation, Li Xin came to the outer city of the imperial city many times, but he only went in the inner city twice, which was the two times that Emperor Chengde summoned him.
This time is the third time.
After entering the inner palace, Ji Lingxiu searched everywhere and finally found the seventh prince Ji Wen in the square at the gate of Changle Palace. At this time, His Highness the King of Wei was wearing a prince's crown garment, his hands were put in his sleeves, and he was also waiting for the summoning here.
Ji Lingxiu stepped forward and patted his shoulder, and said happily: "Brother Seven!"
Li Xin also lowered his head and clasped his fists: "Your Highness."
The Seventh Prince was originally closing his eyes to rest, but when he saw this, he glared at his sister, then clasped his fists at Li Xin and returned the salute, smiling: "Brother Xin was also pulled by this girl."
Although the dress on his body was summer clothes, it was still quite complicated. At this time, the sun was rising, and the King of Wei had already started to sweat on his forehead.
But there is no way. The palace gate of Changle Palace has not been opened, and both princes and officials have to wait here.
Seeing that his brother took care of Li Xin ignored him, Ji Lingxiu snorted angrily and turned her face away.
Li Xin was closer to the station and asked in a low voice: "Your Highness, what's wrong with promoting strong wine in the army?"
These days, Li Xin has been busy in Deyi Tower, while the Seventh Prince is busy in the court. Although both of them are busy with something, they have not met for several days.
His Highness the King of Wei breathed out and said slowly: "I have already delivered a batch of wine to the north through the Ministry of War. The subsequent response depends on how the soldiers in the north are reacting."
Speaking of this, the Seventh Prince also lowered his voice and asked, "How did you go to the Ye family yesterday?"
Captain Li smiled bitterly and said, "Duke Chen is very difficult to mess with. He almost beat me up, but he still likes the wine very much and asks us to send a few jars a month."
"As long as he is willing to accept it."
The seventh prince nodded and said, "The Ye family has a great influence in the north. Ye Ming, the son of Old General Ye, is still a general in the north. The first batch of wine we sent was to Ye Ming and to establish a good relationship with the Ye family, which is always beneficial."
With Ye Sheng's level, no matter what it is, as long as he is willing to accept it, countless people will rush to send it to Duke Chen's mansion.
And it is best to give it for free and not charge money.
The reason why Li Xin spoke to Ye Mao at the gate of Duke Chen's mansion that day was to dispel the Ye family's doubts and let the Ye family know that this was not a bribe, but a simple kindness.
After all, being foolish in front of an old guy like Ye Sheng may backfire. Only by treating others with sincerity can you gain the kindness of the Ye family.
The two of them whispered and heard the morning bell ringing at the gate of Yongle Palace.
The eunuch Chen Ju stood at the gate of the palace and sang loudly: "The emperor's holy life, all officials come to congratulate you."
His Highness the King of Wei tidied up his clothes and whispered to Li Xin: "The palace gate is open, I'll go in first. Let's talk about the specific matters slowly today."
Li Xin suddenly looked up at the Seventh Prince and asked, "Your Highness, I helped the Ninth Princess make a small thing for His Majesty. Your Highness probably won't mind it."
Ji Wen held Chaohu in one hand and rushed to Changle Palace, and waved his hand freely with the other hand.
