Unparalleled Concubine

"Could it be that Lord Hou wants to treat one more favorably than another?"

Master Li's face was a little unsightly, and he coughed.

"My daughter is still young, Brother You'an, don't mess around, if it's really not possible, I'll just take in another adopted son."

Zhao Youan laughed, and reached out to greet his son.

"What are you doing in a daze, why don't you kneel down and kowtow to your adoptive father?"

This kid was also unambiguous, and he was about to kneel down and kowtow immediately.

Li Xin was a little speechless, and just about to speak, Shen Gang trotted all the way over, bowed his head beside Li Xin and said: "Master Hou, the imperial court sent the imperial edict of Yongzhou, and it has already entered the boundary of Yongzhou at this moment, most likely it was sent to Lord Hou's."

Li Xin frowned.

"Holy decree?"

Chapter 974 Opportunity

Mu Ying, Zhao Jia, and Li Shuo are now giants in the Southwest, and people in the 31 capitals of the Southwest will feel the tremors, but the power and status of these three people does not come from the nameless Shu Palace. But it all came from Li Xin.

Therefore, these three people have to surround Li Xin tightly, and try to get in touch with Li Xin. Mu Ying's son, that is, Li Xiu, the king of Shu, has recognized Li Xin as righteousness many years ago. Father, although Zhao Jia is a scholar, he still has to plan for future generations. The conversation he had with Li Xin just now seemed to be a joke, but in fact it was not a joke at all.

He wanted his son to marry Li Xin's eldest daughter and be Li Xin's son-in-law.

Li Xin refused, and Zhao Jia took the next best thing, wanting his son to recognize this adoptive father.

This is a very normal thing, after all, among the three people in the Southwest, only Zhao Jia is not in charge of the army, he must make the bond between himself and the Jing'an Hou Mansion even tighter.

Sometimes, these naked interests are not easy to speak out directly, and can only be hidden in jokes, and this major event that determines the future pattern of the Southwest is also decided in a few words.

Both Zhao Jia and Mu Ying's sons recognized Li Xin as their adoptive father, so there was no need for Li Shuo to be so troublesome. All families want to settle down in the southwest, and Li Shuo's branch will become the military foundation of the Li family in the southwest.

After beckoning the two people into the house, Li Xin frowned and told Shen Gang: "Let the brothers keep an eye on the people in the court, and pay close attention to all the movements in Qiyang County. If there is any disturbance, report it to me immediately. Any suspicious-looking person will be killed directly and thrown into Qishan."

Li Shuo and Zhao Jia can be said to be half of the Southwest. They took a risk when they came from Jincheng to Yongzhou. In any case, nothing happened to these two people.

Shen Gang bowed his head respectfully: "This subordinate understands."

Li Xin paused, and ordered: "Those who are staring at the imperial court will inform me after the imperial decree enters the county."

"Yes!"

Shen Gang lowered his head and went down to do things.

After Li Xin arranged things, he walked into his house with his hands behind his back. At this time, the servants had almost prepared the meals. Li Xin brought out his only son, Li Ping, and saluted Zhao Jia and Li Shuo.

Li Ping was born in the eighth year of Taikang, and he is now six years old. He has a sweet mouth, and he calls Zhao Jia uncle and Li Shuo uncle. After hearing this address, these two people were very happy, and they groped all over their bodies. Things, give Li Ping as a gift.

After Zhao Jia teased Li Ping for a while, he smiled at Li Xin and said, "If there is nothing wrong with the Southwest, I will resign from my position as an envoy and go to the Hou Ye's house to be a teacher and teach the young master how to read."

Li Xin shook his head and said with a smile: "Brother You'an, I can't afford to hire you as a teacher. If you really stay with me and become a teacher, Mu Ying will probably come to me desperately."

Zhao Jia chuckled.

"Young master is quick-witted, just like Lord Hou, and he will definitely achieve great things in the future."

Li Xin has only one son, the eldest son of the Jing'an Houfu, but the current situation is such that this eldest son is not just a simple son. Whether it is Zhao Jia or Li Shuo, the attitude towards Li Ping is the same as that of other people. no the same.

This is the young master of the Southwest. If Marquis Li's career goes well in the future, this little prince...

After a group of juniors saluted, the meals were almost arranged. In Li's house, there was a rare large table surrounded by people. A group of people sat together and had a good meal. After the meal, it was already afternoon, and the servants cleaned up. While eating and chopsticks, Li Xin led Zhao Jia and Li Shuo to the backyard. The three of them sat under the gazebo, and Li Xin brought them a cup of tea with his own hands.

Li Shuo was still somewhat restrained in front of Li Xin, but Zhao Jia and Li Xin were old acquaintances, so he was going to relax a lot. He picked up his teacup, took a sip, and said with a smile, "Your Majesty, What was the harvest of the trip to Ningling?"

Lord Jing'an frowned.

"This trip to Ningling. The original intention was to pay homage to Senior Brother Ye. Brother You'an just said the harvest, which is a bit vulgar."

Zhao Jia shook his head, and said, "I've heard in Jincheng that the imperial court drove Ye Siye out of Hanzhong, and didn't let Ye Guogong go out of Beijing to return to Jimen Pass. It's obvious that he has started to attack the Ye family. At this time Master Hou went to Ningling, so it’s impossible not to say anything?”

Li Xin also poured himself a cup of tea, and after taking a sip, he let out a long sigh: "I can't say anything, and I can't persuade you."

"In my opinion, at the beginning or middle of next year, the Xianbei tribe in the north will definitely make some moves. In recent years, Yu Wenzhao's strength has grown stronger and stronger. Once they attack Jizhou City, I am worried that the Zhenbei Army will not be able to resist, so I told Ye Mao and Senior Brother Ye that if the Zhenbei Army can't hold it back, they can retreat first."

Having said that, Li Xin smiled helplessly.

"Senior Brother Ye was very upset when he heard this. What he meant was that regardless of whether the leader of the Zhenbei Army is the Ye family or not, the Zhenbei Army will fight to the death at Jimen Pass."

"They don't want to be Dajin's door openers."

"It's not surprising."

Zhao Jia poured himself a cup of tea, and after taking a sip, he frowned and said: "The old man swept the Northern Zhou Dynasty in the North, and the Ye family was regarded as the nemesis of the Xianbei people. With the old man's reputation and the trust of thousands of people, At this time, Master Hou told them not to confront each other head-on, but they naturally refused."

After speaking, Zhao Jia looked at Li Xin and asked, "Master Hou, what do you mean?"

"No one wants to see the lives of the people in the Northland go to waste."

Li Xin sighed: "I have written to the imperial court more than once, saying that I want to get rid of the hidden dangers in northern Xinjiang, but even today, the serious troubles have finally developed. Today's Department of Yuwen is attacking Jizhou City or Yunzhou City with all its strength, at the expense of human life." Under the circumstances, there is a [-]% to [-]% certainty that you can get in."

"If they can get in once, there will be a second and third time, and then the north will be in chaos."

"To be honest, I also want to help the Zhenbei Army, but I am in the southwest, and I can't help them."

Zhao Jia shook his head.

"The matter is not as serious as Hou Ye thought."

"With the current strength of the Xianbei tribe, they may be able to break through the gate, but whether it is Jimen Pass or Yunzhou City, they have to shed a layer of skin if they want to come here. Even if they break in, they won't be able to stay for long. It won't be long before you have to go back outside the pass by yourself."

Today's Xianbei tribe may have the ability to cause chaos in one place, but they don't have the capital to compete in the world. It is impossible for them to start attacking cities and land after entering the customs.

This is the normal state of the nomads when they faced the Central Plains dynasty. From a macro perspective, the Xianbei tribe is equivalent to a hornet, coming to sting you from time to time.

Speaking of this, Zhao Jia glanced at Li Xin, and then said slowly: "The chaos in the north is a great thing for the southwest."

"As long as Yuwenbu enters the customs, the imperial court will spend a lot of energy on Yuwenbu. At that time, I may try to leave Shu."

The scholar dressed in white looked at Li Xin, and said quietly: "Master Hou, everyone in the Ye family admires you, but the old man who has made great contributions has been locked up in the courtyard for 40 to [-] years. You have also seen it with your own eyes." passed."

Chapter 975

In the eighth year of Taikang, after Pei Jin conquered the Southwest and Li Xin rushed back from Jizhou to the Southwest to help Hanzhou, the Jing'an Hou Mansion began to be at odds with the imperial court. The prime minister, and later Emperor Yuanzhao, regarded Li Xin as an ambitious man.

In their eyes, Li Xin was probably a person who had conspired to rebel since the Chengde Dynasty, and wanted to sit on the throne of God at all costs.

Even in Ningling some time ago, even Ye Lin had some such thoughts in his heart.
