Chapter 129 Three days are up
Li Xin is indeed very angry now. He is not angry that Emperor Taikang put him in prison, but that it is too cold here.
After waking up from that dilapidated temple for more than ten years ago, he left a psychological shadow, and was particularly afraid of the cold. He wrapped himself tightly every winter. Now it is the twelfth lunar month, and it is the coldest season of the year. In this season, it is really uncomfortable to be thrown into a prison to sleep in hay.
In the past two days, Li Xin felt that he had returned to the small house where the charcoal seller was back then.
Fortunately, the eldest princess came in. Before she left, Li Xin asked her to help get some quilts in. Finally, when the eldest princess came forward, Yang Hong, the minister of Dali Temple, brought two more quilts to Marquis Li. He wrapped the quilts around his body and felt more comfortable.
The eldest princess married Li Xin in the second year of Taikang. The two had been married for nearly seven years. Naturally, she knew that Li Xin was afraid of the cold. Seeing her husband frozen like this in prison, the eldest princess cried and regretted not bringing in a few thick clothes at home.
Because Li Xin did not allow her to stay in Dali Temple for a long time, she visited her for a while and then left Dali Temple. After walking out of the prison, a middle-aged man wearing a cloak had been waiting outside for a long time. After seeing the eldest princess, he lowered his head deeply and clasped his fists, "I have seen His Highness the eldest princess."
The eldest princess looked up at the person who came and said politely, "I have met Senior Brother Ye."
This person was naturally Ye Lin who had been running back and forth in the capital these days. From Li Xin's return to Beijing, he was going to Jing'an Marquis' Mansion, but he couldn't get in. Later, the next morning, Li Xin was imprisoned, and he was even more anxious. He first went to the palace but failed to see the emperor. Then he came to Dali Temple to visit the prison in person, but was also stopped by the people from Dali Temple.
Today, when he knew that the eldest princess could enter Dali Temple, Master Ye rushed over and came to ask about the causes and consequences.
He took a deep breath and said to the eldest princess, "Your Highness, he is in Chang'an... okay?"
"Thank you for your concern, my husband is just locked up, and for the time being... he has not endured any hardship."
Ye Lin then breathed a sigh of relief and continued, "Your Highness, ask, what happened to him in Chang'an?"
The eldest princess shook her head slightly.
"He didn't tell me, and I didn't know."
She looked up at Ye Lin and gritted her teeth and said, "But according to my guess, it should be related to the southwest..."
Because of heavy snow, Li Xin returned to the capital first, but General Pei Jin had not returned to the capital yet. However, Mu Ying in the southwest caused a rebellion and the imperial defeat was vaguely passed back to the capital. In addition, those who were walking with Li Xin were originally the general of the Marquis' Mansion of Jing'an. As the mistress of the Hou Mansion, the eldest princess could naturally ask.
Ye Lin had a few wisps of flowing beards at this time. Because he had been in the north for many years, he looked like a general. He took a deep breath and bowed to the eldest princess.
"If there is anything that the Ye family can help, your highness must speak up. What the Ye family can do will definitely help."
Speaking of this, Ye Lin paused and continued, "I have written a letter to my elder brother about the matter in the capital. After receiving the letter, he will most likely leave Ningling temporarily and go to the capital. I am a little slight, but my elder brother can speak in front of His Majesty."
After Ye Sheng left, Ye Ming, as his eldest son, naturally ascended the Duke of Chen. In other words, Ye Shaobao, who was once the Duke of Chen in the Great Jin Dynasty, had such an identity, and he did speak more.
The eldest princess said gratefully to Ye Linfu, "Thank you, senior brother, but Duke Chen is filial to Master Ye's hometown, so it is not easy to disturb him. Brother, don't worry, Chang'an just said that he can handle this matter well."
Ye Lin was silent for a moment, and finally sighed helplessly.
"At the beginning, Chang'an helped the dragon to take office. That night, he personally put on his armor, and he was desperate. We brothers from Yulin Guard saw it. He was later named a marquis, and we were convinced. Now that Chang'an he was suddenly imprisoned, it really made us old Yulin Guard feel sad..."
Upon hearing this, the eldest princess hurriedly looked around and waved her hands at Ye Lin repeatedly.
"Senior Brother Ye, don't talk nonsense. Now the emperor's temper is very bad. His husband has been locked up in Dali Temple. The Ye family must protect themselves no matter what..."
"At worst, I won't be an official!"
Ye Lin was already angry, and when the eldest princess said this, she felt even more frustrated. She gritted her teeth and said, "It's better to resign than to do it, but to be more open-minded!"
He was naturally angry. When the Renchen Palace changed, Li Xin led the Yulin Guards and forced the Ye family to enter the palace together. In the end, in extremely dangerous circumstances, he successfully seized the throne. That night, whether it was Li Xin, Ye Lin, or Hou Jingde, each of the three of them was in a position to help the King of Wei seize the throne, which was the intention of killing the nine clans. However, until now, the Marquis of Jing'an, who made the greatest contribution back then, was inexplicably guilty and was not even a charge, and was imprisoned!
He couldn't help but feel angry.
What's more, Li Xin has been in the same mood as the Ye family over the years. During the months when Old Man Ye was seriously ill, Li Xin was busy running around the Ye family and doing more things than his own son. Now that something happened to Li Xin, the Ye family naturally had no reason to stand by.
When the eldest princess heard what he said, she smiled bitterly, "Senior Brother Ye, I am a woman and I don't understand these things. After Chang'an comes out of Dali Temple, you two will discuss in detail..."
Ye Lin let out a few breaths, barely suppressed the anger in his heart, and bowed deeply to the eldest princess.
"Since your highness has to go to Dali Temple, you should be able to contact Chang'an. Please tell Chang'an on your behalf that no matter what he did, the Ye family..."
When he said the word "Ye Family", he frowned slightly. Thinking that the head of the Ye family's family is now the elder brother Ye Ming, not himself, he changed his words and said, "No matter what he did, the Ningling Marquis Mansion must stand with him!"
The eldest princess was quite moved and lowered her head and said, "I would like to thank Senior Brother Ye for my behalf in Chang'an."
After Ye Lin bowed, he looked up at the Dali Temple prison and turned around and left.
The eldest princess also looked back at the Dali Temple prison, sighed, and got on the carriage and went home.
...
The news that Marquis of Jing'an was taken to Dali Temple quickly spread, and the capital suddenly became turbid. Some people applauded, while others remained silent. But no matter who it was, everyone knew that there was another storm in the capital.
At this time, although Li Xin, who was locked in the prison of Dali Temple, could not move, someone would move for him.
When he returned to the capital from the southwest that day, there were fifty or sixty people around him, including Wang Tao Chengang. However, after he entered the capital, only Wang Tao and more than ten people were brought back to the Jing'an Marquis' Mansion.
Chen Gang and others who were already in the dark should have disappeared in the dark.
At this time, the news of Li Xin's arrest spread throughout the capital. They waited in the capital for three days as Li Xin's instructions, but still could not see Li Xin being released. So they began to act according to Li Xin's instructions.
Some people stayed in the capital, while others secretly left the capital.
At this time, the Jing'an Marquis Mansion, who was still in prison in Dali Temple, calculated the time in his heart and slowly breathed out a sigh of relief.
