Neither Li Shen nor Ji Ku could be dealt with through conventional channels. This is the consensus between Li Xin and Emperor Taikang. They could not enter the Three Laws and the Zong Mansion. Once they entered these two places, it would be difficult for Li Xin and the Emperor to intervene.

Although these two people are sensitive and anyone who takes over will be troublesome, there are still some old-fashioned people in the court who want to go through the procedures, and there are two normal judges.

So Li Xin had to withstand the pressure from these people.

Ji Ku is not very happy about the bloodline of the Tian family, the eldest son of the late emperor, and even the Zongfu is probably not willing to take over such a thing, but he is still very interested in Li Shen. After all, if such a traitor can be handled by the Ministry of Justice, it would be a small contribution.

So after hearing Li Xin's words, Shangshu Chen frowned.

He lowered his head and said, "Mr. Li, even if the leader of the Pingnan Army is not the Pingnan Marquis Li Shen, he should be handed over to the Ministry of Justice."

The smile on Li Xin's face slowly disappeared.

He glanced at the Shangshu Chen and finally spoke slowly: "Since that's the case, then the Ministry of Justice will come and grab it."

"Deng Feng."

This Yulinwei confidant who had returned to Beijing to report to Li Xin, had already returned to Li Xin's side. He immediately lowered his head and folded his fists when he heard this.

"I'm in a humble position!"

"You take the Yulin Guard and take all the prisoners brought back from the southwest to the Jing'an Marquis' Mansion. Without my order, no one can mention anyone. If someone robs him forcibly, the Yulin Guard does not have to stay behind. I will be responsible for everything in the capital!"

This sentence is tough.

Even Ye Sheng dared not say that he would let his subordinates take action with other yamen in the capital. However, in a sense, the Yulin Guards under Li Xin were the personal army of the emperor. They had the responsibility of protecting the capital, and no one would dare to take action with them.

Deng Feng said in a deep voice: "As for humble duties!"

As he said that, he led the Yulin Guard and surrounded Ji Ji, Li Shen, Xiao Zhao Fang and others, and slowly walked towards the Jing'an Marquis Mansion.

Li Xin smiled slightly at Shangshu Chen.

"If Lord Shangshu is not convinced, he can ask the people from the Ministry of Justice to go to my Jing'an Hou Mansion to recommend people. If the people from the Ministry of Justice are not enough, let the people from the Six Ministry go together. I think the Yulinwei can deal with it."

Shangshu Chen remained silent, then looked up at Li Xin and said calmly: "Mr. Li, don't forget, you are no longer responsible for the Yulin Guard. You are the general of the imperial guards, but you can instruct the Yulin Guards wantonly. Is this Yulin Guard your Majesty's personal army or the Jing'an Marquis' Mansion?"

Li Xin smiled and said, "Good question."

"When I left the capital to fight west, my marquis brought a Duwei camp, which is 400 Yulin Guards to fight. This was his Majesty's approval, and the Ministry of War also recorded the account. Secretary Chen can go and investigate."

"Now, only one hundred and fifty-seven people have come back from these four hundred Yulin Langs. Shangshu Chen thinks I can force them to touch them?"

After saying this, Li Xin no longer paid attention to the serious-looking Minister of Justice. He pulled His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and turned around to the carriage prepared in the palace early in the morning. Then he closed his eyes and whispered to the eunuch who was driving: "Let's go."

The carriage slowly left the Xicheng Gate.

After the carriage left, Haoran Gong Zhang Qu walked to the silent face and sighed slightly: "Why did Brother Shaoyan touch his brow at this time? This Marquis Jing'an has a lot of credit for being so scattered to the sky. If he holds a grudge against you, he will say a few words in front of His Majesty, and Brother Shaoyan will have a hard time."

He said silently: "Thank you, Haoran, for your consideration for the lower official, but what should be in the court is, and the lower official is not afraid of being sued."

Zhang Qu glanced at the direction where Li Xin left, not knowing what he was thinking.

…………

The carriage quickly entered the palace city. After entering Yong'an Gate, another eunuch carried a sedan chair and took His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to the East Palace. Li Xin's carriage went straight to the gate of Weiyang Palace. After getting off the carriage, he was waiting next to the carriage. Dong Cheng, the black-faced eunuch who was familiar with Li Xin.

When Dong Cheng saw Li Xin get off the carriage, he hurriedly stepped forward to salute Li Xin, with a respectful tone: "I have met Mr. Li, congratulations to Mr. Li for making great contributions. From now on, the Marquis of Jing'an will be given a Duke and Marquis for his generation."

Li Xin shook his head with a smile.

"Eunuch Dong, you are all acquaintances, don't praise him."

"If I remember correctly, Eunuch Dong should be in charge of Tianmu Supervisor. He didn't often serve in Weiyang Palace. Why is Eunuch Dong waiting here today?"

Dong Cheng wiped the sweat from his forehead and smiled and said, "Eunuch Xiao is not here, I will give him a few days. And Your Majesty said that I recognize the marquis, so I will let me welcome the marquis here."

Speaking of this, Dong Cheng bent over and said, "Marty, Your Majesty has been waiting for you all day. Go in quickly."

Li Xin looked down at the thin cloth clothes on his body and smiled bitterly: "I was pulled here as soon as I came back. I really didn't have time to change my clothes. If I go in like this, I'm afraid I will hit the lord."

"It's not hindering."

Dong Cheng smiled and said, "Just just go in, Your Majesty doesn't care about these details."

As he said that, he led Li Xin all the way to the Weiyang Palace without reporting, and took Li Xin directly to the side hall of Weiyang Palace and said respectfully: "Marty, Your Majesty is inside, you can go in."

Li Xin frowned and said, "Don't you need to report?"

"No, Your Majesty has given you instructions, just go in."

Li Xin nodded, finally sorted out his clothes and walked in.

This side hall is where Emperor Taikang met with important officials on weekdays. The prime ministers of the three provinces and the officials of the six ministries are all regular visitors here. However, Li Xin has never been here. He went to the palace to meet the emperor several times, and was in the back hall of Weiyang Palace.

After entering the side hall, he saw the emperor writing something at his desk. He wrote quickly. Marquis Jing'an hesitated for a moment, and finally walked up and knelt on the ground.

"My minister, Li Xin, come to your Majesty."

This immediately alarmed Emperor Taikang. He first glanced at Li Xin, then immediately stood up from the dragon couch, threw the red pen in his hand, and ran to Li Xin in three or two steps, reaching out to help Li Xin up.

"Brother Xin, you are back..."

After the emperor helped Li Xin up, he sighed repeatedly: "Since you went to the southwest, I have often dreamed of you, especially after you are coming back these days, I have dreamed of you every night."

As he said that, he looked at Li Xin up and down a few times and sighed heavily.

"My Marquis Jing'an seems to have suffered a lot."

The biggest change Li Xin's skin has become much darker than a year and a half ago is that his skin has become a little rougher because he has been outside all year round, and his whole body looks much more calm.

Li Xin lowered his head and smiled, "I suffered some hardships, but they are all worthy. Your Highness, the King of Qin, has brought it back to His Majesty."

The emperor took Li Xin's sleeve and sat on the low table on one side. The two of them sat opposite each other like they were in the Wei Palace before.

After hearing Li Xin say this, the emperor also smiled.

"Brother is my heart disease, but Li Shen, the Marquis of Pingnan, is your heart disease in Chang'an."

"Now, your heart disease has been cured."

The emperor poured Li Xin a cup of tea and slowly breathed out.

"I still remember when I was in the palace, I told Chang'an that one day I would like to help Chang'an and let out a resentment in your heart. Are Chang'an happy now?"

Li Xin smiled and said nothing.

"I feel very happy."

The emperor laughed: "When the southwest rebelled, rumors spread everywhere in the court and the country. Some people said that I was usurping the throne and gaining the country, and many people said that I was incompetent and incompetent and could not beat my elder brother."

"Now, you let them all see clearly whether I can beat my elder brother."

Speaking of this, the emperor pulled Li Xin's sleeve and exclaimed.

"Chang'an, you are the pillar of the country of the Great Jin Dynasty, my hands, feet, and humerus."

Marquis Jing'an smiled and complained in his heart.
