After getting married, there were still a lot of things to do. Now that the end of the year is approaching, the Jing'an Marquis Mansion is now a big family and has a lot of things to be purchased at this moment. So the day after getting married, Li Xin also helped in the Marquis Mansion for a day.

On the third morning, it was time to go back.

The Ninth Princess changed into a very solemn dress, and Li Xin also changed into the dress of Marquis Jing'an. The couple were going to go back to the palace.

After kowtowing to the Empress Dowager, the two of them were going to Weiyang Palace to pay homage to Emperor Taikang.

After the emperor met the two, he was quite happy and went up to help the couple up and pulled them to sit down in the warm hall of Weiyang Palace.

There are more than ten copper stoves in this warm hall, and the charcoal fires in the stove make the entire warm hall warm as spring.

The emperor sat in the main seat, and Li Xin and Princess Ninth sat in the guest seat.

His Majesty, who is always tall and arrogant, now seems very approachable. He smiled at the Ninth Princess and said, "I remember when you first met, you were with me and pretending to be a maid. Before you knew it, two years passed and you actually got married."

Speaking of this, he felt a little moved.

"At that time, no one of us would have thought that there would be such a day."

The Ninth Princess laughed too.

"At that time, the emperor told me that there was someone in the capital that was delicious, so I followed the emperor to go there. Later, it turned out to be delicious. I remember that at that time, I asked the emperor to recruit Li Xin to the Wei Palace to be a chef, but unfortunately you didn't agree."

The emperor glanced at his sister helplessly.

"If you listen to you at that time, you will never get married in your entire life."

There would be no problem with a court of Jing'an Marquis marrying a princess, but if a chef from the Prince of Wei married a princess, the problem would be big.

The Ninth Princess was a little embarrassed.

"At that time, people didn't want to marry him..."

Li Xin, who was standing beside him, was concentrating on drinking the tribute tea from the palace and did not participate in the conversation between the brother and sister.

The emperor glanced at Li Xin and asked, "It's been two or three days since we got married. What do you think about Chang'an?"

"Great."

Li Xin smiled and said, "The eldest princess is suitable for the house and the family, she is smart and virtuous, and naturally very good."

Emperor Taikang laughed.

"I'm afraid you're a little disheartened when you say this in Chang'an?"

Li Xin smiled and said nothing.

To be honest, the ninth princess' temper is naturally very good among princesses. She doesn't pretend to be a slut with Li Xin on weekdays. The two are considered normal husband and wife, but a royal princess is so young, so it is impossible to be completely unwilling, let alone the words "Yi Shi Yijia".

The Ninth Princess looked at her brother with some dissatisfaction.

The three of them chatted for a while, and the Ninth Princess also realized that the two of them had something to talk about, so she stood up and said to the emperor: "Brother, there is something to tell me that I will go to Kunde Palace first, and let Chang'an be here to accompany you."

The emperor smiled and waved.

"Go and spend more time with your mother. If you marry, you will have less time to enter the palace in the future."

The Ninth Princess curled her lips and said, "I live in Yonglefang. If I want to enter the palace, the emperor will not let me in?"

After saying this, she left the Warm Hall.

After she walked away, the emperor stood up from the lord seat and sat in her position before her, next to Li Xin.

His Majesty the Emperor also poured you a cup of tea, then lowered his voice and said, "When will you go?"

Li Xin smiled: "This is naturally based on Your Majesty's meaning. Whenever Your Majesty's imperial edict is written, I will set off."

The emperor shook his head decisively.

"If this doesn't work, you have to volunteer to go to the southwest by yourself. I will reluctantly let you go, otherwise Xiaojiu will definitely come to cause trouble for me."

Li Xin coughed.

"If Your Majesty does not have an imperial edict, I will stay in the capital and not leave."

If there is no imperial edict, Li Xin would try every means to explain the reason why he went to the southwest to Princess Ninth. Now the two are newly married and are tired of being together. Li Xin really has no way to tell Princess Ninth about this.

You can't tell Princess Ninth that her husband has just taken the initiative to go to the battlefield just a few days after getting married, right?

The emperor smiled bitterly and said, "Forget it, I will do this evil man. When will you go out of the capital in Chang'an? Tell me to have someone draft an order."

Li Xin lowered his head slightly: "It's necessary to go out again after the Lantern Festival. What I mean is that it is tentatively scheduled to be the 20th day of January."

The emperor nodded.

"Then it's January 20th."

After the two of them talked about the Ninth Princess, they returned to the war in the southwest. Emperor Taikang turned around and walked to a table, and handed the letter he received in Li Xin's hands.

"Recently, many remarks in the southwest have been slandering me wantonly, which is really abominable."

Li Xin opened the envelope and looked at it. He saw that there were several copy of the manifesto inside. Without exception, all of them were manifestoes of "striking the fake emperor", and most of them were written with great literary talent.

At the same time, Emperor Taikang was scolded to death.

While Li Xin was looking, the emperor took another piece of paper from the table and pointed at one of the words for Li Xin to see.

"Chang'an, look, this sentence is not only scolding me, but also scolding you."

Li Xin glanced over and saw that the place where the emperor pointed was written.

"The pseudo-emperor usurped the dynasty, and Huangkou Ruzi stole the high position."

"The villain is in power, and the weak and treacherous slander takes charge of the imperial guards!"

This is indeed scolding Li Xin, to be precise, attacking the emperor through Li Xin's affairs.

Li Xin's eyelids trembled, and he felt helpless.

"Your Majesty, I have suffered from the disaster."

The emperor threw the paper aside casually, and then said with a smile: "The officials in the entire capital have been scolded by them, so it is normal that you can't escape, but others may be a little innocent when scolded. You, Li Chang'an, are the ones you should be scolded the most."

Marquis Jing'an blinked and said with a smile: "Why?"

The emperor said angrily: "Because these thieves are all your disciples. After they wrote these things, they would promote them in the southwest counties according to your method back then."

The so-called "method" of Li Xin is to post big-character posters two years ago.

Since Li Xin posted it, this trick has become particularly popular. Many people have learned this routine and started to use this method to do their own things.

Li Xin shrugged helplessly.

"Your Majesty, this is no wonder."

The emperor smiled and said, "Of course I won't blame you. Now the Northern Zhou clans are willing to abandon the secret and turn to the light, and write down all the bad deeds of the Li clan of Zhao County and pass on the sins of the Li clan of Zhao County in the world. After they have finished writing, I will use the imperial list to pass on the world."

Li Xin moved in his heart.

When he got married the day before yesterday, he asked Ye Mao where the Northern Zhou clans were going. Unexpectedly, in just two days, the Northern Zhou clans had already surrendered to the emperor.

Li Xin whispered: "Your Majesty is preparing to pardon these aristocratic races?"

"That's what it means."

The emperor smiled and said, "But we have to do it step by step. I have sent most of them to the imperial village to work. If there are no ten or eight years, they may not be able to come out."

This is also Li Xin’s suggestion.
