After all, Li Xin made great contributions, and the Ye family in the court echoed him. In addition, this time he actually left no evidence on the surface. Although the emperor knew that he was doing the Southwest, the dialogue between the two could only be known by the two of them, and it was impossible to tell the third person.

Therefore, at the "law" level, Li Xin had no charges. He was taken to Dali Temple and did not undergo review by the Three Laws. It can only be said that he angered the emperor. Therefore, when he left the palace in anger and returned to his own home, the court did not continue to make things difficult for him.

Li Xin was no longer in Dali Temple. The old Taoist Iron Zi and his master Wang Zhong were also released from Dali Temple. Yiyang Zi returned to Taiyi Temple in Beishan, and Wang Zhong had no place to go and lived in the Jing'an Marquis Mansion.

It is worth mentioning that although the court did not take the next move, the number of people guarding outside the Jing'an Marquis' Mansion increased instead of reducing. It seemed that the emperor was afraid that Li Xin would escape from the capital. Not only were there people from Qianniu Guards, but even the inner guards sent a lieutenant camp to guard outside the Jing'an Marquis' Mansion.

Li Xin turned a blind eye to this.

He lived silently at his home and had not gone out for more than ten days.

He returned to the capital around the tenth day of the twelfth lunar month. After returning to the capital, he spent several days struggling. Now more than ten days have passed, and it is the 30th day of the eighth year of Taikang.

The darkness of the capital was turbulent, but the people in the capital did not notice it at all. At this time, whether it was Datongfang, Liushufang, or the richest Yonglefang, every household was decorated with lights and colorful colors to celebrate the annual festival.

In previous years, the Jing'an Marquis Mansion would also hang up colorful lanterns early and under the arrangement of the eldest princess, but this year, until New Year's Eve, there was no movement in the Jing'an Marquis Mansion.

At this time, the people in other yards only heard some rumors about the Jing'an Marquis Mansion and could not even notice the tension in the court. However, most of the families in Yongle yard felt the smell of the storm.

After all, the Jing'an Marquis Mansion has been surrounded by the imperial guards for twenty days.

If it were other officials, they would either be innocent or were sentenced to prison for a long time. However, after being surrounded by the imperial guards for more than 20 days, they remained unmoved, and even the people from the Three Laws never stepped into the Hou Mansion.

On the evening of New Year's Eve, the emperor had to entertain some important officials in the palace in the palace. Therefore, from the morning, the palace servants and eunuchs from the Eighth Prison were already busy. At noon, a eunuch in red left the palace and walked towards the Marquis of Jing'an. He went straight past the encirclement of Xie Jing and other guards, walked into the Marquis of Jing'an, and successfully met Li Xin in the backyard.

At this time, the Jing'an Marquis Mansion no longer looked as energetic as before. He was wearing ordinary clothes and sat under a pavilion, with his hands black and fiddling with a pile of charcoal.

The eunuch in red, Xiao Zheng walked over with small steps and saluted Li Xin.

"I've met the Marquis."

Li Xin lowered his head and worked hard, ignoring the head of the inner court.

Xiao Zheng was not angry either. He glanced at Li Xin with black hands and asked with a smile: "What is the Marquis busy with?"

"I'm idle and fiddling with a few pieces of charcoal."

Li Xintou did not raise his head and said lightly: "I can't eat imperial grain in the future. I plan to regain my old business and live by selling carbon."

When Li Xin first entered Beijing, his first job was to sell carbon. Not only the emperor knew about this, but even Xiao Zheng also knew about it. He smiled awkwardly and said, "Marty, today's New Year's Eve."

"Your Majesty invites you to the palace for a banquet..."

Li Xin said slowly with a blank expression: "I am a gangster and I can't go to the palace. I'm sorry to report to Your Majesty, and I said that Li Xin is busy making a living and has no time to go."

"Marty Li..."

Xiao Zheng lowered his head and smiled.

"Your Majesty has already made it clear that I asked you to enter the palace. Don't be so mean. Besides, today, if you don't enter the palace yourself, the eldest princess, your little lady and your young master, you always have to go to the palace to kowtow to the Queen Mother?"

The current Empress Dowager is the grandmother of Li Xin's son and daughter, and the Empress Dowager is quite doting on this grandson. Because of this reason, Xiao Ahan and Li Ping were often taken to the palace.

Li Xin raised his head and looked at Xiao Zheng.

"The eldest princess is sick and has no way to enter the palace. The two children have to accompany her at home."

He stood up from the chair, wiped the black and gray on his hands with a handkerchief, and his face calmed down: "I'll just go in the palace."

Xiao Zheng breathed a sigh of relief and quickly lowered his head: "I am here, waiting for Mr. Li."

"What should I do?"

Li Xin frowned and said, "I can leave now."

Eunuch Xiao coughed and pointed at Li Xin's coarse cloth clothes with black and gray.

"Marty, the central cabinet department of the court is about to enter the palace today. You can change your clothes..."

After Li Xin looked down at his clothes, he nodded slightly: "So, my eldest father-in-law wait for me."

As he said that, he dropped the carving knife in his hand, got up and went back to the backyard. Not long after, he put on a black black robe. The front of the robe was also embroidered with white thread.

Generally, as long as the court officials have a rank and rank, the court will give three sets of clothes, one set of regular clothes, one set of court clothes, and one set of dresses.

All three sets of clothes can be considered official uniforms, but the application occasions are different.

The one Li Xin wore now was the dress he used to be a general in Yulinwei back then. Li Xin liked this dress very much, after all, there was a big white tiger on the front, which was very majestic.

After changing into his clothes, Li Xin said to Xiao Zheng calmly: "Brother-in-law, let's go?"

Xiao Zheng glanced at the Yulin Guard dress on Li Xin and nodded with a complicated expression: "Please, the sedan chair is already waiting outside."

Li Xin walked out of his home gate with expressionless expression. Two purple sedan chairs at the gate had been waiting for a long time. After he and Xiao Zheng sat on it, the sedan chair went straight into the palace from Yong'an Gate and walked towards Weiyang Palace.

At the gate of Weiyang Palace, the sedan chair stopped.

Xiao Zheng first got out of the sedan chair and led Li Xin into the main hall of Weiyang Palace. In the main hall, low tables had been placed. The banquet in the palace was about to be held here in the evening. Xiao Zheng looked back at Li Xin and whispered: "Mr. Marquis, this banquet can only start in the evening. Do you want to meet His Majesty now?"

Li Xin found an inconspicuous corner and sat down, his voice calm: "I won't go to the Secretariat."

"If nothing unexpected happens, your Majesty will probably be very unhappy today, so I will not be afraid of myself. Your Majesty invites me, and I will sit here and leave home after dinner."

Xiao Zheng glanced at Li Xin, sighed slightly, turned around and left to see the emperor.

The Weiyang Palace is brightly lit and magnificent.

At this time, outside the capital city, a postman, one man and two riders, carrying information from the southwest in his arms, was quickly coming towards the capital city.
