The emperor knew very well that his teacher did not like the reconciliation between the court and the Xianbei, and he did not want the court to be crowned kings of the Xianbei tribe, so he was likely to do something extreme.

For example, if you kill this little prince of the Xianbei tribe with one knife, the war will naturally begin between the court and the Yuwen tribe.

Li Xin absolutely did this kind of thing.

In the eighth year of Taikang, Emperor Taikang summoned Li Xing from the southwest to Beijing and arranged it in Liushufang. As a result, before the emperor could see Li Xing, Li Xing was killed by the Marquis of Jing'an.

The late emperor mentioned this matter more than once to Emperor Zhao of Yuan, and repeatedly talked about Li Xin's decisive character.

At this time, if Li Xin really waved his sword to kill Yuwen Di, it would be the normal style of this Marquis Jing'an. After all, he would dare to kill the Left Prime Minister of the current dynasty with one knife in the Dali Temple prison. A little prince from a foreign country would probably not even blink if he killed him.

So, when the emperor heard that the little prince had taken the initiative to go to the Jing'an Marquis' Mansion, he was so scared that he quickly sent Xiao Huai to take Yuwen Di back to the guild hall.

In fact, if it were Li Xin two or three years ago, he would probably have killed Yuwen Di with one blow and then launched a war with Yuwen’s department. But now he is a little disappointed with the court and is too lazy to do his best to do his best to do his job for the court.

There is no need to take the blame again.

…………

Time flows slowly.

In a blink of an eye, it was the end of the first year of Yuan Zhao. The new emperor invited all civil and military officials to the Weiyang Palace. The civil and military officials also praised the emperor. The capital was full of singing and dancing, as if the previous turmoil had never happened.

However, at this banquet for all officials, Li Xin, the Marquis of Jing'an, filed a sick leave and did not come.

Emperor Yuan Zhao, who was sitting in the main seat, looked at the vacant position left for Li Xin and frowned slightly.

On the seventh day of the twelfth lunar month of the second year of Yuanzhao, the emperor finally got almost busy with the matter inside and outside the palace. He took out his time to go out of the palace and take a look at the Jing'an Marquis Mansion.

At this time, Xie Dai also returned to the capital from Shanyin, but before he could handle the affairs of the Yulin Guard, he still temporarily took over the Yulin Guard.

So the emperor led a team of inner guards and asked Xie Dai to take a lieutenant camp to secretly protect him. He changed into ordinary clothes and walked towards the Jing'an Marquis Mansion on this still cold winter day.

It was still during the New Year. In previous years, both in the palace and outside the palace were all the time to decorate the lights. However, because the late emperor passed away less than three years ago, the palace was still quite simple and there was no difference from usual.

There is no hang in the palace, and most of the nobles in Yonglefang don’t hang in either. Other yards in the capital are busy celebrating the New Year, but there is no New Year atmosphere in Yonglefang, and there is not even a fireworks set off.

The emperor came to the gate of the Marquis of Jing'an, and without informing him, he walked straight in. He grew up here since he was a child. Apart from the Eastern Palace, he was the most familiar here, so he touched the front hall of the Marquis of Jing'an.

The servants of the Hou Mansion also recognized him and hurried to the backyard to notify Li Xin.

When Li Xin walked to the front hall, the little emperor had already drunk half a cup of tea. When he saw Li Xin coming, he quickly sat up from the chair and bowed to Li Xin: "I have met the teacher."

Li Xin bowed and returned the salute: "I have seen Your Majesty."

"Where did His Majesty come from in this marquis' mansion?"

Emperor Yuan Zhao smiled and said, "I grew up here since I was a child. There are only teachers' students and aunt's nephews here."

He looked at Li Xin's face and asked, "On the New Year's Day, the teacher said that he was infected with the cold. I originally wanted to come and see it that day, but I have been bothered by the clan and ministers these days. I finally got out of my spare time and came to the teacher to take a look."

"Teacher, have you recovered from illness?"

"It's just a little wind and cold."

Li Xin smiled indifferently: "It's already done."

"It's fine if it's OK."

Emperor Yuan Zhao did not treat himself as an outsider. He reached out to pinch the pastry on the table, took a bite, and said to Li Xin: "It's the New Year Festival now. When I just left the palace, I asked Xiao Zheng to prepare something and then deliver it to the Marquis's mansion in a while. It was my New Year gift to the teacher."

Marquis Jing'an was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head and said, "I, thank Your Majesty for the reward."

The young emperor frowned and complained: "There are no outsiders here, and it's your own house. How can the teacher see you so much?"

Marquis Jing'an smiled.

"I have never read much, but I also know that I should abide by the etiquette of the monarch and the ministers. Otherwise, if I know about my husband Yang, I will probably write a book to me."

"That won't be."

The emperor smiled and said, "My husband Yang is very busy these days. He has to deal with everything inside and outside the Shangshu Desk. On the third day of the Chinese New Year, I called him from home to Shangshu Desk. I am still busy at Shangshu Desk, but I don't care about you, Teacher Guan."

After the master and apprentice talked about some interesting things in the court, the emperor first glanced at Li Xin, and then said as if nothing had happened: "In the middle of last year, the teacher took his aunt home to worship. Now, half a year has passed, and the teacher has already returned. I wonder when his aunt will return to Beijing?"

He whispered: "I haven't seen my aunt for more than half a year. I still miss her a little. She grew up in the capital and didn't know if she was used to staying in Yongzhou."

"And Aunt Zhong, Sister Ahan and others, I don't know what happened in Yongzhou."

The meaning of this is already very obvious. It is asking Li Xin when the eldest princess will come back to Beijing.

When facing this problem, if it were Li Xin in the past, he would probably say a few perfunctory words, but at this time, he was too lazy to lie.

"They probably won't come back."

A anxious expression was calm.

Emperor Yuan Zhao frowned first, and then asked, "Teacher, you are in the capital, why don't you let your aunt and others be in Yongzhou?"

Li Xin glanced at the emperor, then sighed slightly: "Your Majesty, I am about to leave."

Emperor Yuan Zhao was stunned.

"What does the teacher mean?"

"I am ready to retire and return home."

The Marquis Jing'an looked calm and said, "I originally wanted to enjoy peace of mind with my family in my hometown for a few years, but there was chaos in the capital. Your Majesty urgently summoned him, so I rode a horse back from Yongzhou."

"Now, the remnants of Shen Kuan, Yan Shouzhuo and others are almost gone."

During these days, Li Xin and Yulinwei killed eight groups, totaling more than 300 people, and the first batch of Shen Kuan and others was more than 100, and the fewer the more they went to.

Later, scholars like Gong Yang Shu came forward to serve as a security guard. Most of the remnants of Shen Kuan and Yan Shouzi were no longer able to beheaded. This huge prime minister case had been cleaned up by Li Xin for the autumn wind to sweep away the fallen leaves within a few months.

"After this matter is over, I don't really want to be an official in the capital. After the fifteenth court's rest, I officially wrote a letter to resign from all my official positions and return to my hometown in Yongzhou to retire."

The emperor smiled bitterly and said, "Teacher, you are less than 30 years old, so where is there any reason to retire and return home?"

"I was in my thirties and unfortunately passed away. My body seemed to be as strong as the last emperor, and I might not have lived for a few years. I have been in the court for more than ten years and felt a little tired, so I wanted to resign and rest for a few years."

Emperor Yuan Zhao was about to cry in a hurry. No matter from any angle, he didn't want to see Li Xin leave Beijing at this time.

The emperor stood up from the chair and bent over toward him.

"Teacher, if you are not in the capital, the matter of Shen Yan will still happen again. For the sake of this matter, please don't leave Beijing..."

His tone was so heavy that he seemed to cry.
