The guests were gone, and the excited Cai Yan suddenly threw herself into Li Xin's arms and cried loudly. Tears have too many meanings, happiness, more bitterness, more venting, and more release...... Everything turned into silent tears, Cai Yan's hand hit Li Xin's back, and said softly: "It's all your fault, you are bad, you don't come to see people when you go to the Eastern Capital, you worry about them in vain." ”

Li Xin was stupid all of a sudden, Cai Yan, who has always been elegant and generous, turned out to be such a little girl, her words were full of affection for herself, and she couldn't help but regret a little, why did she have to keep it secret and not go to see her. So he said: "It's all this bad guy, Yan'er who made me worried, and Brother Xin beat him." After saying that, he was about to hit himself, Cai Yan looked at it, quickly grabbed Li Xin's hand, raised his head and looked at Li Xin quietly.

Li Xin saw the tears on his face, and couldn't help but think of a poem in his previous life, "Yurong is lonely and tears dry pear blossoms and spring rain", but unlike Yang Guifei, his Yan'er is smiling, and she is really smiling like a flower. Gently kissed away the tears on Cai Yan's face, took her little hand, and walked to the lobby.

Now that the marriage contract has been decided, the rest of the matter must naturally be done according to etiquette, Li Xin on the one hand began to buy officials, on the other hand, to prepare for marriage, the wedding date is before going to work, after all, Cai Yong also knows that the situation in the DPRK and China is critical, he is just a Confucian who writes books, how can he keep his daughter well-thought, but Li Xin is different, he is not in Kyoto when he goes to the local office, and the danger is much smaller, so he naturally advocates getting married as soon as possible. But Li Xin doesn't think so, after all, only when an official marries a wife can the wedding be grander, and only then can he live up to Cai Yan's infatuation. So Li Xin worked harder to buy officials.

At the beginning of the imperial court, the West Mansion was opened, and the private order was sold to the public, which was a clear thing, and the higher the price, the higher the official position, but there was one thing, most of them recognized it, and they were idle or honorary officials, which was extremely unfavorable to Li Xin, after all, what Li Xin needed was a base area, a territory that could allow him to deal with the chaos in the future, so the idle position was worthless, and more importantly, if the jurisdiction was too close to the eastern capital, it would also be unfavorable to Li Xin's great cause, so Li Xin was ready to think of a foolproof strategy.

At the same time, the news of Li Xin's purchase of officials also reached the court, and Cao Jie was very annoyed. Because back then, he believed the words of his subordinates and thought that Li Xin had died at the hands of assassins, but now Li Xin is not only alive, but also wants to buy officials, he really ate the heart of a bear and swallowed the gall of a leopard, and it is not good to live in a hidden name, so dare to make such a big fanfare, thinking that I Cao Jie can't clean you up? Since you're looking for death, don't blame me. Assassination is certainly useless, but there is one thing you can't blame me for dying at the hands of outcasts and foreigners. So he came up with a poisonous plan to send Li Xin to the most dangerous place to kill someone with a knife. Give you an inflated official position, you can't blame me for being killed, and if there is a problem in government affairs, you can also find an excuse to kill you, and you can block the mouths of the world.

Li Xin's thoughts coincided with Cao Jie's, but they both thought that the border was an extremely ideal place. But Li Xin saw through Cao Jie's thoughts, and Cao Jie misestimated Li Xin's ability, so from the beginning Cao Jie fell into the trap carefully prepared by Li Xin.

Having said that, it is not so easy to implement, first of all, Cao Jie is not a stupid person, if Li Xin asks to go to the border, Cao Jie will worry about whether Li Xin has ulterior motives, which will make Cao Jie arrange for Li Xin to go to the vicinity of the eastern capital and use other methods to murder Li Xin. Secondly, even if he went to the frontier, Li Xin hoped most for Yanmen County in Bingzhou, which was easy to defend and difficult to attack, had developed transportation, could carry out border trade, and the land was fertile, but there was more wasteland, which was suitable for long-term development. It can also secretly lay out and control the state, occupy the initiative, and once the world changes, it can be attacked and defended. But Li Xin absolutely couldn't reveal his thoughts, so he began to rely on the way of heaven to spread false news.

Li Xin's method is very simple, that is, to let the person who buys the official for himself bribe with money, let the person who buys the official know his requirements, and go to any civilian position in a place with beautiful mountains and rivers in the south of the Yangtze River, and the excuse is very easy to find, "After Li Xin and Cai Yan got married, Li Xin was ready to accompany his good wife and wanted to live a comfortable life with his wife. If you have a half-official position, you can enjoy life better. ”

At the same time, in order to make Cao Jie believe, during his days in the capital, Li Xin took Cai Yan to travel in the mountains and rivers, play the piano and write poems, and looked like he had no ambitions. At the same time, he also let several of his brothers leave first, pretending to move to Jiangnan together, and at the same time sent a message to buy houses in Lujiang and Zhenjiang, looking like they were going to settle down.

At first, Cao Jie naturally didn't believe it, after all, how could a young and promising person who became famous at a young age become like this? Later, after a long period of observation, Cao Jie relaxed his vigilance, after all, it was impossible to spend all his energy on Li Xin alone, but Cao Jie was still not at ease, so he sent people to spend a lot of money to buy Li Xin's servants, especially the servants who had followed Li Xin for a long time. Later, Cao Jie changed his strategy, starting with a new servant, and with a little temptation, he finally got the information from a drunken gaffe of a servant who liked to drink. The assassination of that year frightened Li Xin, and Li Xin didn't know who did it, so he wanted to stay away from Jingshi and avoid danger, and since the assassination, Li Xin began to do more miscellaneous studies and put down other things. Similarly, such news was confirmed by the servants of the Cai family, and Li Xin and Cai Yan were all doing things like a storm. And Li Xin is more talented than Cai Yan, a talented woman, which makes Cao Jie more convinced of Li Xin's judgment.

But how did he know that all this was arranged by Li Xin. He was just played by Li Xin, but Cao Jie was still complacent, thinking that Li Xin would definitely die. One is out of revenge against Li Xin, and the other is jealousy of Li Xin and Cai Yan's affection, after all, even if Cao Jie's power is overwhelming, it can't change the fact that he is a eunuch.

Therefore, he pretended to be clever and appointed Li Xin's official position as the Taishou of Yanmen County, and at the same time had the right to arbitrarily, but he had to ensure that he could resist the invasion of foreign enemies, otherwise it would be a crime of dereliction of duty.

As soon as Li Xin heard the news from heaven, he felt that his plan had succeeded, but in order not to arouse Cao Jie's suspicion, he acted again, and he wanted to resign and not take office. But this only strengthened Cao Jie's determination to let him go to Yanmen, so he could only be "forced" to accept the official position, and the holy decree was clearly written to give Li Xin a month to prepare, and then go to Yanmen to take up his post.

Cao Jie happily issued a holy decree, Li Xin reluctantly accepted it on the surface, and this long-lasting drama came to an end in May, but at the same time, it also meant that the marriage between Li Xin and Cai Yan had reached the final stage.
