Chapter 208 Return the umbrella
Li Xin gave him a blank look, pointed to the oil-paper umbrella at the door and said, "I borrowed this umbrella from the inner guard of Yong'anmen. You can help me return it to them."
“…………”
This time, Emperor Chengde was dealt with by Li Xin, but this does not mean that the matter has completely calmed down. If Li Yan openly wrote a letter to impeach Li Xin during the court meeting, then this statement cannot be explained.
In private, Emperor Chengde can accept Li Xin's contact with the remnants of Southern Shu, but on the surface, the Emperor will never allow anyone to contact the rebels. If Li Xin cannot defend himself, even Emperor Chengde may not be able to protect him.
So, this matter remains to be followed.
Li Xin took off his wet clothes, changed into clean clothes, and then leaned on the recliner, closed his eyes and thought about the subsequent solutions. Just when Li Xin was about to fall asleep, the gate of the courtyard was knocked.
Li Xin opened his eyes.
Mu Ying usually lives here, so he doesn't knock on the door, but now he will come to him. If he is willing to come to him, he will probably be alone.
Li Xin got up and opened the gate of the courtyard. Sure enough, he saw the Seventh Prince holding an umbrella, waiting at the gate of the courtyard.
Li Xin smiled and said, "Your Highness is here to look for me now, aren't you afraid that Your Majesty will think about it?"
His Highness the King of Wei shook his head: "Brother Xin made fun of him. Ji Wenfei is the kind of person who only cares about protecting himself."
The reason why Li Xin was able to come out of the palace means that this matter has passed at the level of the emperor. In an imperial country, as long as the emperor talks about it, the rest will be all the details.
The two of them came to Li Xin's living room and sat down. Li Xin went to the kitchen to pick up a pot of hot water, first filled the teapot, then poured the prince's cup of tea, sat down himself, lowered his head and drank a sip of tea.
The seventh prince first took a sip of tea, then said, "Father... what do you say?"
Li Xin shook his head and said, "It's not clear yet. Mu Ying has been summoned to the palace. I'm probably still asking questions now. I'll know the specific situation when he comes back."
His Highness of the King of Wei put down the teacup and whispered: "This Mu Ying may not be reliable. If I had known it, I would have killed him. If there is no evidence of death like this, we will be whatever we say."
Li Xin shook his head: "Killing him will only make us feel guilty. No matter what we say, His Majesty will not believe it easily."
Speaking of this, Li Xin laughed and said, "But don't worry, your highness, there should be no problem. This matter can probably be handled. How is Zhurong Wine sold in the past few months since I was not in the capital?"
“There are still restrictions on selling in the capital.”
When talking about selling wine, the Seventh Prince was much excited and said, "There are endless people who buy it every day. In private, a jar of wine has been fryed to 700 to 800 yuan per jar. The wealthy families in the capital will have a jar of Zhurong wine when they are banqueting guests, and their face will be greatly increased."
Li Xin nodded and said, "With this effect, we can release the amount of wine sold in moderation, but the military will soon realize the power of Zhurong's wine. At that time, the Zhong Family Army will also reach out to the court to ask for it. Your Highness should prepare more and provide it to the court."
Selling alcohol to make money is second to make money. The most important thing is to be used by the military, so this kind of spirit will have a lot of political significance.
The seventh prince nodded and smiled, "When talking about the Zhong family army, Brother Xin went to the north and told me how about this kind of family army?"
"One iron plate, no water leaks."
Li Xin's expression became serious and said, "The Zong family's children can be seen everywhere in Yunzhou City. These people only listen to Zong Xuantong alone. If Zong Xuantong was no longer loyal to the court that day, then the Zong family's army would probably not be controlled by the court."
"I have never been controlled by the imperial court."
The seventh prince smiled and said, "The Zong family army has been like this for so many years. In the decades before the founding of the Great Jin Dynasty, the Zong family died in order to protect the Great Jin Dynasty. This is all true friendship and contribution, so the emperors of all generations have never thought of touching them."
Li Xin narrowed his eyes.
