A ceremony that should have been lively and extraordinarily closed without a hitch, and the people of Xianyang also discussed it in private, but in fact, the imperial court was relatively quiet, because many princes and princes were already familiar with the inside story, and there were various speculations about whether Li Xinjianghu and even Meng Tian would be punished by the first emperor.

After a simple greeting ceremony with the officials of the three provinces and six ministries, Li Xin took the accompanying army commander Shi to the military department to hand over the military orders and prisoner of war materials, etc., and then went home to wash and change clothes.

Li Xin has been going for more than three years, during which he has not returned, only the soldiers who have passed on the military situation have brought back letters to report safety every once in a while, so Li Xin's wife and concubines and children were very happy after returning home suddenly, kowtowed to ask for peace and then arranged a wine banquet to serve gently, but Li Xin couldn't be happy at all, he kept sighing with a sad face, and he lost his appetite after eating a few bites of food, and after driving everyone out, he began to drink stuffy.

He originally wanted to resolve this enamel crisis through a victory over the Otsuki clan and tens of thousands of prisoners, but it seemed that the First Emperor did not intend to forgive him, and did not even let him enter the palace to meet him, which made him have a very bad premonition.

Perhaps, I started to think too simply.

There is also the fact that he has been fighting outside all the year round, and his activities in the imperial court are too few and the foundation is not enough, so the help to resolve this crisis is not enough, the only thing he can rely on at the moment is Jingwu Marquis Meng Tian, but this disaster is estimated that even Meng Tian will be implicated, and he does not dare to guarantee that Meng Tian will not kill him to sacrifice to the sky...... Well, throw him out as a shield.

Originally, there was also a Qinghe Hou who had a good relationship, and if he came to ask for help, he might be able to help, but Qinghe Hou went back to his hometown to visit relatives, and I heard that he would take his wife and concubines and children to the southeast for a cruise, and the time was at least three or five months.

The more Li Xin thought about it, the more depressed he became, and he couldn't help but smash the wine glass to the tangled place, and immediately frightened a group of wives and concubines and children guarding the door.

"Squeak~" The door of the concealed room was pushed open, and his wife Yuan came in cautiously, and after turning around to cover the door, she knelt in front of Li Xin and said, "Why is my husband so angry and angry, you won the battle this time?" Could it be that the marquis in the court is dissatisfied with you? ”

Li Xin glanced at the original partner, waved his hand depressedly and said, "Get up, this matter is not clear to you, I am too careless!" ”

"Husband, you are the backbone of our family, don't lose your inch, the woman doesn't know the reason for the husband's boredom, since you have something to do, you'd better go to some familiar Qinghou to ask and discuss, although my brother is not a high official, but he also serves as a five-grade school commander in the Ministry of Industry, you also know that the relationship between the Ministry of Industry and the Qinghe Marquis is very good, many officials in the Ministry of Industry are on temporary duty in the Academy of Sciences, and they are all subordinates of the Qinghe Marquis, why don't you go and investigate, it's better than drinking alcohol at home and hurting your body......" Yuan gently helped Li Xin massage his shoulders and back and whispered.

"You're right, I'll go to my uncle to discuss!" After hearing the silence for a moment, Li Xin stood up and called the servants to prepare the carriage and horses to go out.

Yuan's elder brother is named Yuan Kun, who works in the Engineering Department of the Ministry of Industry and is also the director of the experimental factory affiliated to the Academy of Sciences. The Wupin position is already a real middle-level cadre in Daqin, and it is not possible for ordinary officials to mix at this level without a certain ability and backstage.

Just like Jiangbei Pavilion, after so many years, it has always been just a six-grade county order, if the evaluation is not good or no one in the court helps, it is estimated that the county order will be dead in this life, but the Jiang family has people in both military and political terms, Jiangbei Pavilion has also been transferred to Peixian County Commander for almost six years, and it is not surprising that he will soon be promoted to the fifth grade, and it is very likely that he will be transferred to a certain place to serve as a county officer, if the family is a little stronger, he may be able to transfer back to the Beijing Division to serve in the office, and he will be mixed until he is sixty years old, and it is still very likely to be a third-grade officer, and he can be regarded as a real senior cadre.

As an official who has been in Beijing all the year round, Yuan Kun naturally knows Xianyang City well, and when he saw the general's brother-in-law who had not returned home for three years come home to find him, he was very happy to take Li Xin to a physiotherapy hall to massage his back and do great health care.

Although Li Xin was depressed in his heart, he was still very surprised and liked this novel health care, enjoying the comfort of a ninety-eight-year-old lady stepping on her back and the crackling sound of her bones stepping on her body.

"I haven't come back for three years, Xianyang is almost unrecognizable, all the city has become a cement road, not to mention, all kinds of Quyuan restaurants, shops and bookstores are everywhere, this physiotherapy hall is also novel and chic, and stepping on the back also has a unique flavor...... Waist ...... Right...... Comfortably ...... lying on the massage table, Li Xin only hummed comfortably with his eyes closed.

"Although the physiotherapy hall is novel, it is just a lack of relief, the biggest change is the library and Beijing Normal University, Qinghe Hospital, the new office building of the Academy of Sciences and the office building of the Newspaper and Literature College, my brother-in-law has time to go around the city and outside the city, and even I and other people who stay in Xianyang all the year round feel like a dream......

"Last year the Academy of Sciences invented a loom with an incredibly complex structure, one person can weave five pieces of cloth a day......"

"There is also the selection of hundreds of princes, and the Marquis of Qinghe was named the first......

"Last year, the Western Dawan Kingdom came to worship the First Emperor, and the Marquis of Qinghe won nine of their sweat-and-blood horses worth 10,000 gold......

"In March this year, Xianyang also held a spring commodity fair and an Oiran competition, the leader Lin Xian'er caused the Qinghe Hou and Jiancheng Hou to scramble, and finally the two stud gambled a game, Jiancheng Hou narrowly won, Qinghe Hou brushed his sleeves and left......"

Yuan Kun lay on the massage table next to him and broke his fingers and began to introduce the changes and major events in Xianyang to Li Xin in the past two years, and almost all of these events were related to Chen Xu.

"What is the Oiran Contest? What is stud? "I haven't been in Xianyang for a few years, and Li Xin feels that he has been out of touch with Daqin's life, and he can't understand it at all.

"The Oiran competition is a song and dance competition jointly organized by hundreds of music gardens in Xianyang City, each song garden selects a top singer of its own brand to participate, and displays singing and dancing instruments on the stage, etc., and 20 famous singers and dancers and celebrities in the world are scored and judged......

Yuan Kun gave a detailed introduction to the Oiran competition, and also focused on the touching story of Lin Xian'er being torn by Qinghehou's fairy pet Wukong, and then getting Qinghehou's perfume and soap to apologize, now this story has spread all over the world, and after countless gossip lovers have added oil and vinegar, this story has become quite ambiguous, and later Qinghe Hou for Lin Xian'er and Jiancheng Hou a grand gamble, but also pushed this story to the point of imagination.

"Stud heard that it is a novel game, called poker, but I haven't seen it, and the people who have heard it are still confused, it is a kind of card made of paper, there are red and black plum squares, one, two, three, four, and sharp Kai Ku hook......"

"Anyway, that day, the Marquis of Qinghe and the Marquis of Jiancheng had a stud battle in Chunfangyuan, and countless princes and princes saw it with their own eyes, and they heard that it was extremely tense and exciting, but it was a pity that my status was too low to ......see it," Yuan Kun shook his head regretfully.

"Lin Xian'er is really so beautiful and amorous, even Qinghe Hou can't put it down?" Li Xin was a little puzzled.

"There is no need to suspect this brother-in-law, Qinghe Hou does like her, and Lin Xian'er does deserve the title of leader, if it weren't for the fact that she came from Luoyang and had a poor reputation in Xianyang, I am afraid she would be able to win the first place in the Oiran, and since winning Lin Xian'er, the Chunfang Garden of the Hou has also become the top song garden in Xianyang, I have heard that countless princes and princes and hundreds of celebrities and wealthy businessmen go to the scene, and the bustling people are nobles every day, and it is not easy for me to enter without acquaintances to introduce this kind of identity, If you want to get close to Lin Xian'er, Fang Ze is even more extravagant......" Yuan Kun sighed with a lonely expression.

It is not an exaggeration to say that a five-grade official, at least a member of the county level, is at least a member of the county level, but in Xianyang, a place where princes are all over the place and there are many ministers like dogs, it is an official position that can hardly be taken on the table, and if there is no knight of the same status, it is completely unpopular.

"It's just a singer, how can it be so beautiful, when Ben Hou is free, go to Chunfangyuan to see this amorous little lady, and he must press it on the couch to it......" Li Xin heard that his uncle was so lonely, so he hummed disdainfully.

"Brother-in-law, don't make trouble, although this Lin Xian'er temporarily lives in Chunfang Garden, Qinghe Hou has not given up, and Jiancheng Hou gambled and lost to think about it afterwards, and once said that when his Qinghe Garden reconstruction and expansion is completed, he will take out millions of gambling funds and gamble with Jiancheng Hou again, and want to win Lin Xian'er back......"

"Does Qinghe Marquis really say that?" Li Xin turned his head to look at his uncle in surprise.

The Marquis of Qinghe personally admitted that everyone knew about this matter and there would be no falsehood, so the foolish brother advised his brother-in-law not to take advantage of the situation to forcibly get close to Lin Xian'er, so as not to be hated by the Marquis of Qinghe...... By the way, my brother-in-law just returned to the court today, why didn't he enter the palace to meet His Majesty, and he had time to come to me to hang out? ”

The two communicated for a long time, and at this time, Yuan Kun finally felt that something was not quite right in this matter.

"Alas!" Hearing his uncle ask, Li Xinchang sighed, and a depression enveloped his whole body again, and he instantly felt that the whole person was starting to be bad again, but today he was also going out to find a way, so he waved his hand and ordered the two little ladies who stepped on their backs to leave the room, and then roughly told the two armies of the Western Army to steal and sell enamel equipment.

"I wanted to use this great victory and these captives to put an end to this mess, but the court and the central government could not find anyone to help, and now His Majesty does not want to see me, and the consequences of this matter are unpredictable...... Alas! After Li Xin finished speaking, he sighed faintly again.

"It turns out that the Western Army's reselling of equipment is actually true?" Yuan Kun was silent for a long time before speaking.

"How is it really fake, tens of thousands of soldiers are far away from their homeland, the local people are not familiar with the place, the wind and sand are raging all year round, the scorching heat and cold are not adaptable, in the past three years, I led the 10,000 army of sick and poisoned more than 300 people, and stationed in those places can not be replaced can only be hard to persevere, the soldiers can not get merit and can not go home to do business, back and forth for at least half a year, the letter delivery takes more than a year, thinking about the wife and children at home, thinking about the house cattle and sheep at home, Worried about the prosperity and tranquility of the Central Plains, as the main general, I can't turn a blind eye to this, I can only let them find some fun and entertainment as much as possible, but how to have fun without money, Your Majesty and the Chinese military officials of the dynasty only know that the Western Army resells enamel equipment, but who cares about us border pass soldiers who shed blood and horse leather shrouds for Daqin, even Jingwuhou blamed me, this time I came back and was severely humiliated in the Longxi military camp, this whole world, only those who care about us reckless people, I'm afraid there is only Qinghehou alone, If it weren't for his majesty's letter to His Majesty to prepare enamel and compress military rations, as well as various potions and pills to distribute to the Western Army, it would be considered a blessing that half of the 20,000 troops could be left now......"

The more Li Xin spoke, the lower his voice became, his haggard cheeks twitched slightly, his beard and eyebrows trembled, and his tiger eyes turned slightly red.

Yuan Kun was silent for a long time after listening.

He is not a general who leads troops to fight, nor is he a soldier on the border, there is no way to know the hardships, but he still knows his brother-in-law very well, pacifying the six countries to participate in the battle of Zhao and Chu and Yan and Qi, although the ancestors have to shade the marquis, and the battle of Chu is also disgraced, but it is definitely a brave and resourceful general of Great Qin, and later conquered the Xiongnu, Yueshi, and the Western Regions one after another, and it is not considered to have insulted the noble status of the marquis.

Men don't flick when they have tears, they don't sweat when they sweat.

Li Xin, as a commanding general, has never cried his nose.

But this time, it seems that he really feels wronged.
