One thing that can be confirmed is that Dong Cheng has been eliminated from the center of power.

Moreover, he no longer takes charge of Tianmujian, and the information he can know is extremely limited. If Li Xin wants to have a glimpse of the whole picture of the capital, he must go back and take a look.

But he doesn't want to go back now.

Because the power of the capital is being reshuffled at this moment, and it is difficult for him to intervene in the reshuffle process at present.

The biggest part of this is because he is too young.

An eighteen-year-old young man would not be too reassuring in any case. A very blunt statement, if Li Xin was now forty years old and with his contributions in the battle for the throne, at this time he either took charge of the imperial guards or entered the center to serve as prime minister, he would never be just a somewhat marginalized Yulin Central Army General.

In other words, even if Li Xin is hanging out in the court, there will not be too many people turning to him, a furious child. He can only control the "Yulinwei Group". Instead of doing this, it is better to stay in Qiyang County, and to be purified, and to the other hand, it will not cause fear to the new emperor.

Thinking of this, Li Xin spoke to Dong Cheng: "Eunuch Dong, I have escaped from the capital at this gate. It can be said that I have given up a lot of interests just to repair the tomb for my mother. Now my mother's tomb is only half repaired, and Li Xin really can't bear to give up halfway. So, I will write a memorial to the capital, and Eunuch Dong will submit it to Your Majesty on my behalf."

Dong Cheng smiled bitterly and said, "Mr. Li, Your Majesty has told us before, and you will persuade you to go back no matter what. Your Majesty said that if the Marquis doesn't go back, then our family won't have to go back."

Li Xin was silent for a while, then smiled and said, "Since that's the case, my father-in-law will live in Yongzhou for a while, and the mountains and rivers are beautiful in Qishan. After a month or two, we will return to Beijing together."

Dong Cheng looked embarrassed.

"This...is not suitable..."

“Nothing is inappropriate.”

Li Xin said calmly: "Today I will write a memorial to the capital, and ask Yulinwei to send it back to the capital, and explain the matter of my father-in-law. I think Your Majesty has pity for me and I should not refuse."

Li Xin's current position is incompatible with his contributions.

Therefore, the current Taikang Emperor owes Li Xin a lot of affection. These affection may not be the gold medal for avoiding death, but there is always no problem in resisting the order a few times.

What's more, Li Xin resisted the order for the word "filial piety". This kind of thing was also a good story to be passed down in later generations. No matter which emperor, it is impossible for him to be punished for his filial piety.

Therefore, Li Xincai was so calm and composed.

Dong Cheng smiled bitterly and bowed to Li Xin and said, "Then our family will be shameless and stay in the Marquis' hometown for a few days."

He sighed and said sincerely: "I should have gone to the Taima Madam's grave to kowtow a few times, but my family is a broken person who is afraid that the Taima Madam's Feng Shui will be defiled, so he will not go."

If it were a family of aristocratic families of this era, perhaps a eunuch would not have allowed to kowtow to his ancestors’ grave, but Li Xin did not have such a chain of contempt. He shook his head at Dong Cheng: "Li Xin had a friend with his father-in-law. If his father-in-law is willing to go, then go and put in incense sticks for my mother."

This sentence is not to win people's hearts, and Li Xin really doesn't mind it much.

Dong Cheng was quite moved, but he shook his head repeatedly and insisted: "I dare not go, I dare not go, where is the Marquis' ancestral home? I just go to the Grandma's spiritual seat to put on incense sticks, I dare not go to the grave..."

Li Xin was stunned.

Although he is from Qiyang County, he does not have any ancestral home in Qiyang County. The only one that can be regarded as an ancestral home is the thatched hut.

When Li Xin heard Dong Cheng's words, he felt something in his heart.

He will most likely not return to this small county town in the future. The Jing'an Hou Mansion in Yonglefang in the capital is his future home, but no matter what, Qiyang County is his hometown after all, and perhaps he should have a house in Qiyang County so that he can have a place to come.

Thinking of this, Li Xin shook his head and said, "Li Xin was poor since he was a child. He lived in a farmhouse in the mountains. He never had any ancestral home. However, after his father-in-law mentioned this, he wanted to buy a house in this county."

Dong Cheng looked at the house from side to side and said in surprise: "This garden is not the Marquis's?"

"This is a wealthy family in Qiyang County, I just stay with you."

Dong Cheng laughed and said, "This is easy. Just find the owner and spend dozens of cents of money to buy it."

This is the biggest difference between Li Xin and the people of this era. Although he occupied a high position, he did not have the habit of relying on his power to bully others. Dong Cheng is very different. As long as they are taller than others, they will naturally bully others with their power.

Or, the reason why they climbed so hard was to bully people.

The Qi family's garden is very exquisitely built. Even in a small place like Qiyang County, it costs at least 2,000 guan to complete it. Dong Cheng wanted to buy it with a few dozen guan.

Li Xin shook his head and spoke slowly: "Eunuch Dong, Li Xin is also from Yongzhou and has no habit of bullying the countryside."

Dong Cheng bowed to Li Xin and sighed: "Mr. Marquis is so noble, our family admires him."

"Since the marquis doesn't want to buy it, it's easy. Let the local yamen recruit some people and build a marquis' mansion in Qiyang County."

Li Xin's expression was a little unhappy.

"Eunuch Dong, Li's private affairs are not worth it...you have to worry."

Dong Cheng saw that Li Xin was a little unhappy, so he quickly stood up and bowed to Li Xin and said, "Mr. Don't misunderstand it. Our family is just thinking about the Marquis, and there is no intention to go around..."

He said this, but he thought it secretly.

It seems that this young marquis is so famous and rich...

Li Xin shook his head: "Eunuch Dong, don't be so polite."

The two were talking, and Shen Gang walked in from outside and bent down at Li Xin and said, "The Marquis, the magistrate of Yongzhou, and the magistrate of Qiyang County are all waiting outside to pay homage to the angel..."

These officials have a really good nose...

Li Xin shook his head helplessly, laughed at Dong Cheng and said, "Eunuch Dong, come to see you, go out and take a look?"

Dong Cheng, who was a little short and fat, smiled and bowed to Li Xin and said, "Mr. Marquis first."

Li Xin shook his head slightly: "Those who come to see the angel have nothing to do with me, my father-in-law will go first."

Only then did Dong Cheng step out.

As soon as he walked out, Shen Gang, the captain of the Yulin Guard, bowed to Li Xin and said, "Marquis, Mu Lang is going to tell the Marquis that his father is here..."

Li Xin then changed his face slightly and said in a deep voice: "Go and tell Mu Ying, let them wait for me at Tongfu Inn, I will go there immediately if I have time."

"yes."

Shen Gang left quickly, and Li Xin also walked to the door of Qiyuan with his hands behind his back. He saw that the magistrate of Yongzhou Sun Quanshi and the magistrate of Qiyang County Zhou Yang both bowed toward eunuch Dong, and the smile on his face was almost enough to make a fuss.

For these local officials, there is no difference between the inner court officials like Dong Cheng and the heavenly officials of the Ministry of Personnel. As long as Dong Cheng says one word in front of the emperor, they can make them struggle for several years or even ten years less!

Seeing that Li Xin came out, two local officials came over and bowed to Li Xin again.

"Marty Li, Xiaguan, today, hold a banquet at Zuichun Tower to invite angels, and invite marquis to give him a favor and come over for a meal together."

Li Xin smiled.

"My husband has a stomachache, so he won't go..."
