Chapter 21 Who Saved You
This time, the "big-character poster" incident created by Li Xin was limited to a very small range under the will of Emperor Chengde and did not ferment and spread. Even those insiders realized the will of Emperor Chengde and did not dare to make a big deal of this matter.
So, the entire capital thought that this had never happened.
However, if you look at this from the perspective of God, the one who suffered the most is probably the Jingzhao Yin of Jingzhao. Originally, as the Jingzhao Yin, he was a serious third-rank official. If he went further, he would be the position of the Six Ministers. Even the Six Ministers, he would be less than the Jingzhao Yin.
Moreover, the position of Jingzhao Yin is extremely special and is not something that ordinary people can do. With Li Ye's status, as long as he becomes Jingzhao Yin for a few more years, he will be the prime minister in the future. But all this was completely damaged by this sudden appearance of junior!
Li Ye is the cousin of Li Shen, the Marquis of Pingnan, and the two families were from the Li family of Zhaojun. They were both branches of the Li family of Zhaojun. However, in the generation thirty years ago, Li Zhijie, the father of Pingnan, chose Congwu, and Li Zhijie's brother chose Congwen. Both of them achieved success in their respective fields. Li Zhijie was appointed as the general and was awarded the title of Marquis of Pingnan. His brother Li Zhili also became the Minister of Rites. Both brothers can be said to have achieved success.
Li Ye is Li Zhili's eldest son. His son inherited his father's business and entered the court early. However, although Li Ye has relatives with the Marquis of Pingnan, the two families are not very close on weekdays, and they can meet each other when worshiping ancestors. At other times, they can't say a few words a year.
But now, the son of the Pingnan Houfu family not only did not repent of this matter, but even did not even behave at all to him, which made Li Ye quite angry.
Even Li Chun, the legitimate son of the Marquis of Pingnan, would kowtow respectfully when he saw him and called him uncle. This young man actually said that he had nothing to do with him!
After hearing Li Ye's words, Li Xin took a deep breath.
He thought that the old man in front of him was just an elder of the Li family in the Marquis of Pingnan. Unexpectedly, this old man was the Jingzhao Yin Li Ye mentioned by the Seventh Prince...
The position of Jingzhao Yin doesn't sound special, but being able to be the capital is an amazing thing. You must know that the various forces in the capital are complicated and have to handle daily affairs well, and you cannot offend people too much. This alone is not something that ordinary people can do.
Li Xin stood up from the bench and bent over to Li Ye and said, "It turns out that the Duke of the Lord has arrived. I will not notice it for the next time. I offended the Duke of the Lord, and please don't take it in my heart."
When facing the mayor of the capital, you should be cowardly. You should know that even the seventh young master himself said that he could not confront Jingzhao Mansion head-on. This shows how powerful this yamen is. Li Xin will still have to make a living in the city in the future, so he naturally cannot offend this old man.
Although this old man was demoted, he was not demoted. In other words, he was still Jingzhao Yin of Jinling City. The warning of deposing him is greater than his actual significance. At most, he can restore his previous grade in one or two years.
Li Ye glanced at Li Xin lightly and snorted coldly: "This time I came to see you, first, I wanted to see what the charcoal seller you wrote about, and second, I wanted to see you, the young man from the Li family, look like. I originally thought you were a wise man who was holding a wise pearl, but I didn't expect that he was a crazy man who was not polite!"
Li Xin just smiled slightly when he said Li Ye, and did not refute. There were countless people in the court who were trapped in the fourth-rank official for the rest of his life, and Li Ye inexplicably changed from a third-rank official to a fourth-rank official, so he naturally felt a little unhappy.
Seeing that Li Xin didn't say anything, the King of Jingzhao Mansion was also a little excited. He glanced at Li Xin lightly and said in a deep voice: "Are you really Li Shen's son?"
Li Xin shook his head slightly: "No, I have nothing to do with Pingnan Marquis' Mansion."
Li Ye sighed and did not continue to worry about this matter.
"Are you Li Shen's son? This is the family affairs of the Marquis of Pingnan. I am too lazy to care about so much, but you lived in the capital after all, and it can be considered under my rule. Today, I came here to remind you a few words."
Li Xin said with a bow: "Please tell me, Mr. Man."
The Jingzhao Yin also stood up from the stool and said with his hands behind his back: "In the capital, you can touch anything, but you can't touch Your Majesty. Your Majesty is a person who cherishes your reputation. This time you write such a poem, if it was in the past, ten heads would not be enough to cut off."
Speaking of this, Li Ye glanced at Li Xin lightly and said calmly: "Do you know why Your Majesty doesn't kill you, but instead helps you?"
Li Xin shook his head.
In fact, he was also very curious about this matter. Although he had taken advantage of it everywhere, in the dynasty era, he did not win any side. People like Li Xin who wrote poems and slandered the court could have slapped Li Xin to death, or let Li Xin disappear quietly in the capital.
But Emperor Chengde did not do this, which shows that Emperor Chengde was either a very idle wise ruler or there was another profound meaning behind this matter.
Li Xin originally thought it was the seventh young master who said good things to him.
Lord Fujun carried his hands on his back and smiled: "The reason why you can be safe and sound is because Your Majesty has a good relationship with your father Li Shen. They are playmates since childhood. You are Li Shen's son. Your Majesty naturally treats you as his nephew. Therefore, this time, only my Jingzhao Mansion was in trouble. Neither you nor the Marquis of Pingnan Mansion were injured at all."
Li Xin didn't say anything.
He had made up his mind to break up with the Marquis of Pingnan, but he didn't expect that in the end, his identity as an illegitimate son saved him.
Seeing that Li Xin didn't say anything, Li Ye asked, "Are you... a southerner?"
Li Xin nodded: "I am from Yongzhou."
"Where is your mother?"
Li Xin's voice was awkward.
"Diet sick."
Li Ye nodded and said, "From the reaction of the Pingnan Marquis Mansion, you should be Li Shen's son. You are strongly opposed to this identity now. It should be that there was a grudge between you and Pingnan Marquis Mansion half a month ago."
Li Xin looked up and smiled at the Jingzhao Yin: "Mr. Fujun is thinking too much, so I really have nothing to do with Pingnan Hou Mansion."
Li Ye glanced at Li Xin.
"This time, it was Li Shen's son's identity that saved you."
Li Xin said in a deep voice: "Even if I owe a favor to the Marquis of Pingnan, I will save the life of the Marquis of Pingnan in the future if I have a chance in the future."
Li Ye shook his head helplessly: "This is your family matter. I was too lazy to care about it, but when you first came to the capital, you are not very clear about many things. I want to remind you that it is extremely important to have a good background if you want to hang out in the capital. Pingnan Hou Mansion is one of the top backgrounds in the capital."
Li Ye said in a deep voice: "If you can't help but meet, I can come forward and ask you to go to the Marquis of Pingnan to recognize your ancestors and return to your ancestors."
Li Xin shook his head firmly.
