MTL - Unparalleled Concubine-v2 Chapter 1177 Is this peace of mind?
Chapter 1177 Are you at ease?
Although Chen Shiliu was born in a rural household in the suburbs of Beijing, he has been with Li Xin for so many years, from the chief housekeeper of Jing'an Houfu to the supervisor of Southwest Firearms, and now he has been the leader of the Anbu for several years. His experience has come a long way. Extraordinary people don't know how many, and at this time, the scheming city government is not comparable to the old woodchopping boy from Chenjia Village. The document that can make him so anxious and lose his temper shows the importance of the news.
Li Xin stretched out his hand to take the document, opened it and looked at it. After reading it several times, he silently folded the document and put it back into his sleeve.
At this time, Governor Li looked a little complicated.
He turned his head to look at Chen Shiliu and sighed, "Brother Mu has once again made a great contribution."
Chen Shiliu bowed his head to Li Xin: "My subordinates congratulate Hou Ye."
Li Xin put the document back into Chen Shiliu's hands, and said silently, "Copy a few copies and send them to Li Shuo and Zhao Jia, so that Shang Shutai is ready to discuss the merits for Brother Mu."
"He Xiong and Ye Guogong have made great contributions to defending against Xianbei, and they should also make contributions together, so they can't chill the hearts of the heroes."
Chen Shiliu lowered his head and said, "This subordinate understands."
Li Xin tucked his hands into his sleeves, looked up at the plaque of the Jingan Houfu, and was a little lost for a while.
He turned his head to look at Chen Shiliu and asked softly, "Sixteen, what do you think of... how am I?"
Chen Shiliu bowed his head slightly and said with a smile, "For me, Lord Hou is naturally a great person. Our family has all been greatly favored by Lord Hou."
"I helped you a little, and you helped me a lot, it's not a big favor."
Li Xin let out a slow breath. Originally, he was facing his house, but he stopped and walked towards the carriage parked at the entrance of the Hou residence.
"Tell the family that I won't go back for lunch at noon, so don't wait for me."
Chen Shiliu bowed to Li Xin's carriage and clasped his fists, watching the carriage leave.
The carriage of the Jing'an Hou Mansion left Yonglefang swayingly, walked all the way towards Qinhuaifang, and finally stopped at the entrance of Qinhuaifang in the afternoon.
Li Xin bought some snacks and candies in the shop along the street, held it in his hand, hesitated for a while, bought another half pot of Zhurong wine, and then walked to the door of a big mansion in Qinhuaifang.
This big mansion was originally the residence of a wealthy businessman on the Qinhuai River. It was later bought and turned into a nunnery. Every day, people would chant scriptures and chanting Buddha in it. People who don't believe in Buddhism occasionally go in and out of this nunnery and recite Buddhist scriptures for a day and a half in it.
Li Xin was standing at the door, and naturally someone informed him. It didn't take long for him to come to the backyard of the nunnery. Under the pavilion in the backyard, he saw Cui Jiuniang in blue.
Originally, after Li Xin went to Beijing, he planned to take this sister who was kind to him into Hou Mansion or live in Yonglefang, but Cui Jiuniang lived in Qinhuaifang for most of her life and was unwilling to move, so Li Xin asked someone to give it to her. Bought such a house, and now it has been turned into a nunnery by Cui Jiuniang, and it is still famous in the neighborhood.
After the two of them sat down, Jiuniang looked up at Li Xin and asked softly, "Master Hou must be very busy right now, how do you have time to come to me?"
Although she believes in Buddhism, but after all, she does not have a formal family, so she has not shaved her hair so far, and she is still practicing with her hair. A few years old, Boss Cui, who used to be on the Qinhuai River, now has a lot of silver threads in his hair.
Li Xin put the snack in his hand on the table, and then opened the half-pot of Zhurong Wine. He knew that Cui Jiuniang didn't drink, so he only poured himself a glass, and after taking a sip of wine, Li Xin let out a long breath.
"There is always something in my heart that makes me restless, so I came to talk to my sister and ask her to teach me."
Jiuniang picked up the tea in front of her, took a sip gently, and said with a smile, "With the power of the Marquis, what else can make you restless?"
"No more obstacles."
Li Xin frowned slightly, he looked up at Cui Jiuniang, his voice was slightly hoarse.
"I...may be the emperor."
In fact, what Li Xin said was wrong.
His current situation is not "likely" to be an emperor, but almost certain to be an emperor. In the past, there was an excuse for the war in the northern Xinjiang, but after Mu Ying's battle report was sent to the capital, he no longer had any excuses. Nothing gets in the way.
The people from the southwest line will definitely push him to the position of emperor.
Now, with Li Xin's status, everyone in the capital can speak as fart, but Li Xin cannot ignore the voice of the Southwest, because the Southwest Army is the foundation of his business and his power. The basics.
The weight of these people is incomparable with Zhou Youyi and others.
After hearing Li Xin's words that were enough to scare off many people, Cui Jiuniang just frowned slightly, and then said softly, "This matter has been doomed since you entered Beijing."
She lifted the jug, helped Li Xin to fill the glass with wine, and said with a smile: "In all, you came to Beijing in the winter of the fifth year of Yuanzhao, and now it is the late summer of the second year of Yankang. In the past two years, you have still Not ready to be emperor?"
"The world is impermanent."
Li Xin lowered his head and took a sip of wine, then smiled bitterly: "Before, I never thought that I would become emperor one day. After entering the capital, although I started to think about it, but when it came to an end, I always felt that something was wrong. ."
Speaking of this, Li Xin paused and said silently: "But now, the general trend has been achieved, and what I think in my heart is irrelevant."
Cui Jiuniang smiled: "Then what did you think in the past?"
"My son is also half of the Ji family's blood. I once thought of letting him change his surname and take over the Ji family's business..."
Having said this, Li Xin shook his head and said abruptly: "I later found out that this idea was too ideal, it would neither please the Ji family, nor would it offend the old department of the Southwest First Department, and both sides were not pleasing, so I gave up the idea. , and began to prepare for the change of surnames in the world."
Li Xin shook his head and sighed: "Today, the general trend of changing surnames in the world has been completed, and I feel uneasy in my heart."
Cui Jiuniang looked at the middle-aged man in purple in front of her, and suddenly remembered that more than ten years ago, the young man who came to the Deyi Lou to sell charcoal with a basket of charcoal on her back. After a while, she sighed slightly. .
"Actually, Chang'an, you don't need to please anyone."
She said softly: "Now you feel a little sorry for your wife, and for His Royal Highness the King of Wei back then, but in fact life is in this world, and it is impossible to satisfy everyone."
Cui Jiuniang turned the bead in her hand with a gentle tone.
"The reason why you feel uneasy is because you still have good thoughts in your heart. In fact, you are not suitable for what you are doing now."
"But God has arranged for you to do it again, you just accept it."
The big shopkeeper of the proud building back then had a calm smile just like the charcoal seller he saw more than ten years ago.
"People die like lights go out. His Royal Highness King Wei has been dead for almost eight years. He can't see what happened today, and you are not sorry for anyone."
At this point, I believe everyone can see that this book is nearing the end. Many readers do not like this kind of plot. They feel that the protagonist is soft and decisive, the protagonist is a bitch, and the protagonist is not worthy of being the protagonist. From the beginning, the character of the protagonist has already been set.
Human nature is very complex, and it is by no means easy to define a good person or a bad person. When Li Xin was young, when he was worried about his life, he was also ruthless, and he killed a lot of people over the years, but this does not mean that he is a man. bad guy.
There are too many decisive killings in history. There are Cao Amu's who prefer me to be blamed, and no one to blame me, and even more ruthless Emperor Gaozu's "share my share", these are big figures in the glorious history books, but Li Xin is actually Not a big man.
He is just a small person, but he was "lucky" and came to another world inexplicably. It is impossible for him to be an ordinary person. After crossing, he suddenly became a stoic person, similar to Cao Liu.
There are too many such big figures in the history books, so Li Xin has always been an ordinary person who has become a big figure.
He will have his own character and his own kindness.
Admittedly, this may not be an advantage for the protagonist of the starting point, but what I want to say is that no matter when and where, kindness is definitely not a sin.
Li Xin is not a good person. If you have to define it, you can say that he is a bad person with good intentions.
