Chapter 290: His Majesty the King of Wei

After taking over the emperor's order, he naturally has to report to the emperor after finishing his work, so that this procedure can be considered completed.

After entering Yong'anmen Gate, it was already dark, and Li Xin successfully met the eunuch Chen Ju.

Chen Ju smiled and said, "General Li Lang, you are here. Your Majesty has been waiting for you for a long time."

Li Xin raised his head and said "ah" and looked at Chen Ju in surprise.

At this time, even the princes could not see Emperor Chengde. Li Xin originally thought he could not see him either. In his estimate, it would be great to see this eunuch who was in charge of the palace.

Chen Ju's face was calm: "What's wrong?"

Li Xin shook his head and said slowly: "It's nothing, please lead the way."

Chen Ju patted Li Xin on the shoulder and turned around and took Li Xin into the warm hall of Changle Palace.

It was the end of October now, and the weather was getting much colder. Emperor Chengde was wearing a fox fur and hid next to the stove to burn the fire.

After Li Xin entered the Warm Hall, he knelt down to Emperor Chengde and saluted: "My servant Li Xin, please bow to Your Majesty."

The emperor put down the hand warmer in his hand, rubbed his hands, and slowly looked at Li Xin: "I know everything you do in Dali Temple."

The capital was filled with the emperor's eyes and ears. Although Emperor Chengde dared not say that he was omniscient and omnipotent, at least in the capital, most of the things he wanted to know were able to know.

Li Xin lowered his head and said, "I suddenly received the holy intention. There are many inappropriate actions. Please punish Your Majesty."

“You did a great job.”

The emperor smiled and said, "Even if I do it myself, it can't be better than what you do."

"The subordinates are afraid."

The emperor sat on the dragon couch and coughed: "If you do well, you will do well. There is no need to be too humble."

"Get up and talk."

Li Xin stood up and stood with his hands down.

The emperor put his hands in his sleeves and said lightly: "You should know the cause and effect of Dali Temple being besieged. Tell me what you think."

Li Xin lowered his head and said, "According to my understanding, the cause of this incident was because the Eastern Palace Zhan Shi Tang Gu mistakenly beat Wang Anmin to death of the Censorate. Wang Anmin may be guilty, but the crime is not so. I ask Your Majesty to ask the Eastern Palace Zhan Shi Tang Gu's crime to calm the public's anger!"

Emperor Chengde said with a smile: "The censors of the Censorate should not have been convicted for their words. Even if they were convicted, the East Palace would not have the power to lynch their crimes. You said just now that Tang Gu is a secretary of the East Palace. In your opinion, should you ask about the crime of the East Palace?"

Li Xin lowered his head and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, my subordinates are just military officers. It's not a problem to catch people and investigate cases, but your Majesty wants to ask about politics, which is beyond my ability."

What the emperor asked before could be classified as criminal, but when it comes to the prince, it is political affairs.

"Ask you, you say."

The emperor was a little displeased: "Can military officers not be able to speak about politics? Where is this rule in the court?"

"In my foolish opinion, this matter should have nothing to do with the prince!"

Li Xin gritted his teeth and said, "It is reasonable for those censors to attack the prince. The prince sent someone to ask questions. It was just that the Secretary Zhan used the name of the prince and did something wrong, which led to today's tragedy!"

The emperor was so funny that Li Xin said that the emperor laughed.

"Li Xin, you are really a talent."

The emperor sighed: "Your words are indeed enough to use as words on the official side. I want to hear your true views."

Li Xin took a deep breath and said, "Your Majesty, everything should be the court. Even if the crown prince and the crown prince of the country are not careful and make some mistakes, it is not easy to make public. Your Majesty privately scolds you."

The emperor supported himself with his hands and wanted to stand up from the dragon couch. Seeing this, Chen Ju, who was beside him, hurried forward to support the emperor, and the emperor could barely stand firm.

"If I hadn't known that you had a good relationship with Lao Qi, I would have almost suspected that you were from the Eastern Palace."

Li Xin lowered his head and said, "Your Majesty, although I have a good personal relationship with the Seventh Prince, I am even a minister of the Great Jin Dynasty. Since Your Majesty has appointed the crown prince, those who are ministers must obey Your Majesty's wishes."

"You don't have to say these words to coax me."

The emperor closed his eyes and took a deep breath: "You all have their own thoughts. What you say and what you think in your heart are never the same."

Li Xin remained silent.

The emperor turned his head and looked at Li Xin and said, "What are you going to do if you sent the Yulin Guard to the Wang family?"

Li Xin sighed in his heart.

This emperor who was "recovering from injuries" in the deep palace was afraid that he knew everything except Li Xin's underwear.

Fortunately, he only knew that Li Xin sent someone to the Li family, but he didn't know what Li Xin sent someone to do.

"Your Majesty, it seems that the Wang family is making trouble in the Dali Temple incident, but there must be some people with ulterior motives behind their backs. They want to make this matter bigger. If they want to make this matter bigger, the best way is to send someone to kill the Wang family. Even if the Wang family has not been destroyed, just a few more people will die."

Speaking of this, Li Xin paused and continued, "The matter would be even bigger, and the reputation of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will reach an irreversible level."

The emperor looked at Li Xin in shock.

"Where will the trouble reach this point?"

In the hearts of parents, their children are mostly positive. For example, in the hearts of Emperor Chengde, although the fourth prince has some ambitions and some ideas, it is at most at the moment at the entrance of Dali Temple today. It is not as good as the prince’s reputation destroying the whole family.

Moreover, Emperor Chengde was the only son and had never experienced the pain of fighting for the throne, so he did not expect this level for a while.

Li Xin bowed his head and said, "Your Majesty, maybe it's because the subordinates are thinking too much."

Emperor Chengde lowered his head and thought for a moment, then his face darkened and he sighed long.

"You're right, the fourth brother can do such a thing."

The emperor sighed: "He left the palace and opened the palace at the age of sixteen. It has been nine years since this year. I have no idea about him anymore."

Li Xin quickly lowered his head: "Your Majesty, I have never said it was the Fourth Prince."

The flesh and blood of the Tian family is a sin of beheading.

The emperor was a little depressed. After thinking for a while, he spoke: "Chen Ju, please send someone to the Wang family to watch. Wang Anmin is dead and unknown. Don't let the Wang family hurt lives because of my family affairs."

Emperor Chengde was still a relatively kind emperor. Otherwise, when Li Xin went to Beijing to write a charcoal seller, there would probably be no more dead scum left.

Chen Ju bowed respectfully: "I'll do it now."

Chen Ju helped the emperor sit back on the dragon couch, then bowed and left the warm hall and went down to arrange things.

After Chen Ju withdrew, the emperor looked up at Li Xin and asked weakly: "Li Xin, I will ask you a word and you will answer truthfully."

Li Xin bent down.

"I know everything but say."

"Which of the four princes I stayed in the capital is suitable for being an emperor?"

Emperor Chengde once asked Li Shen about this question, but Li Shen was trembling and did not dare to reply.

Li Xin lowered his head and thought for a moment, then lowered his hands and said, "Your Majesty, I think among the four princes, the King of Wei is most kind and kind."

Li Xin was very smart and didn't directly say who was suitable to be an emperor.

"You are also a slippery person."

The emperor smiled and said, "Forget it, you go down."

Li Xin bowed and withdrew from Changle Palace.

Emperor Chengde was alone, sitting in the warm hall, looking at Li Xin's distant figure and muttering to himself.
