Chapter 177 Brother and Sister Love
Li Xin also knew in his heart that the Xie family came to find him because of the prince's affairs, but he didn't want to get involved with the Xie family. To put it bluntly, among the people in the Xie family he has been in contact with, the Xie Dai in front of him can catch his eye. The Empress's younger brother is far from Ye Mao in terms of doing things, and is not a material for being in the officialdom at all.
Ye Mao is no longer suitable for being in the officialdom, and he is still a little worse.
And even if he really wants to support the prince ascend the throne, Li Xin doesn't have to get involved with the Xie family. He is the prince's master and assisting the prince is natural. Moreover, he is now in charge of the right camp of the imperial guards, so he does not need to connect with anyone, and can do what he should do.
When Xie Dai heard Li Xin ask this, he immediately bowed respectfully: "Go back to the Marquis, I heard that the Marquis is the imperial guards again. The subordinate official is the Xie family who came to congratulate the Marquis."
"You guys heard it wrong."
Li Xin glanced at Xie Dai lightly.
"It's not about the imperial guards, but about the imperial guards' right camp. The gap is very big, don't make a mistake."
Xie Dai took a deep breath.
"In any case, it is a great joy to be in charge of the Marquis again. The Ye family has prepared a gift for the Marquis and will be delivered to the Marquis' Mansion in two days."
As he said that, he took out a gift list from his sleeve, stood up and handed it to Li Xin with both hands, and said respectfully: "This is the gift list prepared by the Xie family for the Marquis. Please accept it with a smile."
"Or don't want it."
Li Xin smiled: "The Crown Prince will ascend the throne sooner or later. After the Crown Prince ascends the throne, the people in the Xie family will either be the emperor's concubine or the emperor's uncle. How dare I accept your things?"
Xie Dai smiled bitterly and said, "Mr. Marquis, what are you talking about? The Xie family has always been respectful to the Marquis over the years and has never offended the Marquis."
Li Xin's face was calm.
"Yes, no grudges or grudges, why did the Xie family give me something?"
"this……"
The reason for the Xie family to deliver things is obvious. It is nothing more than trying to unite with Li Xin to assist His Royal Highness in the Crown Prince ascend the throne. However, when the son is still there, such a thing is impossible to say. After hesitating for a while, Xie Dai said, "The Marquis' achievements are extraordinary, and the Xie family admires them. His uncle also said that he would come to Beijing and meet the Marquis in person."
The "uncle" he mentioned is Xie Ting, the current head of the Xie family in Shanyin, and the father of the current Empress and the Qianniu General Xie Jing.
After the emperor ascended the throne, Xie Ting was considered a noble father because of his daughter. Not only did the Xie family in Shanyin become a great clan in Jiangnan in one fell swoop, but he himself became the father-in-law. All the officials from both sides of Jiangnan were ashamed of him when they saw him, and they jumped from a parent of a small family to a big figure in the world.
However, although the Xie family photographed many people going to Beijing to do things, the father-in-law had never come to Beijing. Now, he seemed to be going to Beijing as he heard what Xie Dai said.
After hearing Xie Dai's words, Li Xin said with a smile: "So, I have to accept these?"
"I dare not make things difficult for the Marquis."
Xie Dai lowered his head and said, "Everything depends on the wishes of the marquis. The Xie family will never force others to do anything."
Li Xin took a sip of tea, glanced at the gift list handed over by Xie Dai, and then threw it on the tea table aside.
"Forget it, since so many people want me to accept this thing, I will accept it."
Among the many people he said, there were Emperor Taikang, Empress, and the father-in-law. These people were all thinking of tied Li Xin to the prince's car.
Especially Emperor Taikang.
Therefore, in order to follow these people's thoughts, there was nothing to accept from the Xie family.
Xie Dai was overjoyed and quickly bowed to Li Xin.
"Thank you, the marquis!"
Marquis Jing'an shook his head slightly.
"If you give me a gift, I should thank you no matter how much you say. How can you thank me?"
Xie Dai dared not.
Li Xin smiled and looked at him.
"When is Xie Lang born?"
Xie Dai was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head and said, "Return to the Marquis, the fourth year of Chengde, the lower official was born."
Marquis Jing'an smiled slightly: "Then I'm two years older than you, I'm a second year born in Chengde."
"To be honest, I admire General Xie Lang. In you, I saw myself who had just entered the capital."
Li Xin said directly: "If the uncle came this time, I wouldn't want anything no matter what."
Xie Dai lowered his head slightly, his tone a little helpless.
"Thank you for your kindness, Master, I am ashamed of being accused of taking responsibility."
"Do it well."
Li Xin patted Xie Dai on the shoulder and said earnestly.
"Now you need the Xie family, so you have to respect Xie Jing, but one day when these Xie family members need you, the situation will turn around."
In fact, it is not only the Xie family, but most "political families" are like this. The family provides resources to the clan members, and then the clan members climb upwards with their abilities. When they reach a certain level, such as being able to manage one party or the position of the six ministers, they start to feed back to the family.
At that time, it was time for the family to have a request for individuals.
At least in Li Xin's opinion, Xie Dai has great potential. If there is no major problem in the future, he should be able to climb to the core of power.
At least it is also the core edge.
Xie Dai bowed respectfully to Li Xin.
"Thank you, Marquis Jinkou, I will definitely remember it in my heart."
Having said this, he was about to get up and say goodbye.
Before leaving, he bowed to Li Xin and said, "Mr. Marquis, you can come to Xie's house to do it when you have time."
At this, Marquis Jing'an just smiled slightly.
"I'll definitely do it if I have time."
Xie Dai nodded and turned around and left.
Li Xin also shook his head and went back to his backyard.
After seven years, he regained the command of the Right Battalion of the Imperial Guard. No matter what, this was a very considerable and important force. Li Xin had to find a way to hold it in his hands as soon as possible.
In seven years, most of the middle and low-level generals under his command had changed a lot and could not be recognized, but the top leaders of the Imperial Guard Right Battalion should not change too clearly, which means that Li Xin should not have a big problem in accepting the Imperial Guard Right Battalion.
The difficulty is how to be a real imperial guard general and let his subordinates obey orders.
It is definitely inevitable to go to the Imperial Guard Camp, but before going, Li Xin has to come up with a charter.
He probably thought about how to take over the imperial guards for two or three days at home. On the fourth day, Marquis Jing'an finally put on a piece of armor and prepared to go out of the city to take a look at the imperial guards camp. However, as soon as he reached the front yard and had not yet walked out of the gate, Chen Shiliu, who had one-armed, walked towards Li Xin with a letter.
He quickly walked to Li Xin, handed the letter to Li Xin, and then lowered his voice.
"Marty, the eldest princess' reply."
Li Xin nodded quietly, stuffed the letter into his sleeve, then turned around silently and returned to his study.
In the study, the letter was slowly opened.
The content of the letter is very simple. Generally speaking, the mother and son are all fine now, so Li Xin doesn’t have to worry.
But the end of the letter made Li Xin frown.
After reading it, he kneaded the letter into a ball, threw it into the stove beside him, and sighed helplessly.
".I'm already in the capital, you still want to come back."
Marquis Jing'an closed his eyes and remembered the little girl hiding behind His Highness the King of Wei when he first met the princess.
He sighed helplessly.
"Forget it, come back if you come back."
