Unparalleled Concubine

In fact, Li Xin was an ordinary white-collar worker in his previous life. After more than ten years of hard work, he was barely able to squeeze into the middle class. He was not a big shot, let alone a genius. Stumbling, groping around in a ignorant way.

To say that he has something that is far superior to ordinary people, it is probably due to the sales work in his previous life, a little bit of eloquence, and some ability to handle people's hearts.

In this world, people who are smarter than him abound. From Ye Cheng, to Chengde Emperor Ji Man, to Zhao Jia who is sitting opposite Li Xin, every one of these people is better than Li Xin, an ordinary person. out a lot.

He is an ordinary person, and he was able to get to where he is today, half of which is due to luck, and the other half is due to his chance.

Of course, with the current situation, Li Xin is no longer just himself, he represents the will of the entire Southwest, and the will of this large collective sometimes pushes him forward.

For example, it is no longer possible for the Southwest to coexist peacefully with the imperial court, and there will be a war in the future. Li Xin will fight this battle if he wants to, and he has to fight if he doesn't want to.

However, even at this point, after hearing Zhao Jia's words, Li Xin frowned slightly.

He said slowly: "Brother You'an, if the northern part of the Jin Dynasty falls into war and the Xianbei aliens break through and enter, if we raise troops at this time, even if we occupy the capital, we will be scolded by all the descendants of Xia."

Zhao Jia shook his head and said, "Master Hou, what the imperial court looks like now, you know better than I do. Although I have been in the southwest for the past four years, I have read all the documents published by the imperial court. Much inferior to the late emperor."

"The matter of granting the title of King Yan to the Ministry of Yuwen is a dispute between the imperial court and the Marquis. There is nothing wrong with it. Let's put it aside for the time being, but now that there are obvious changes in northern Xinjiang, the emperor actually changed his generals and removed the management of Jimen. The Ye family who have been imprisoned for decades!"

"Master Hou thinks, if the Xianbei people enter the customs, will our emperor have the ability to drive them out again?"

Li Xin didn't speak.

Zhao Jia asked and answered by himself, and continued, "It's probably not possible."

"Since the Son of Heaven can't rule the world, then Lord Hou will rule the world for him."

Li Xin was silent for a while, and asked, "How many people are there in the Southwest Army now?"

Zhao Jia was the Southwest Economic Strategy Officer, so he knew this kind of thing well. Hearing this, he said without hesitation, "16 people."

"The army deployed by the imperial court in Hanzhong is a total of 10 people, plus Pei Jin's 5 people in Ankang, the total is 15. Now that the southwest is out of Shu, even if you can win these two troops, there will still be left. How much do you want?"

"half?"

When asked such a professional question, Zhao Jia shut up wisely. He looked at Li Shuo who was sitting on the side and kept silent.

Li Shuo bowed his head and said: "Brother, half of it should be left over. In the past few years, Jincheng has produced a lot of sky thunders. The younger brother and General Mu have trained a lot of tactics to cooperate with sky thunders according to his brother's request. Facing the Forbidden Army head-on, the Southwest Army has a chance of winning, not to mention that Ye Lin is no longer in Hanzhong, and Xie Jing will lead the troops in Hanzhong."

"A few days ago, General Mu and I went to the vicinity of Hanzhong to watch. Xie Jing, who leads troops, is far inferior to Ninglinghou. Now give me [-] soldiers and horses, plus enough sky thunder, and I will have the confidence to defeat Hanzhong head-on. military!"

Li Xin nodded, and was about to discuss the follow-up matters. Shen Gang, with a beard on his face, ran over from outside, panting. The county seat, it should be the eunuch from the palace, now he is going straight to Lord Hou's mansion!"

"eunuch?"

Lord Jing'an asked, "What color clothes are you wearing?"

"Go back to Lord Marquis, the purple one."

The inner court is strictly hierarchical, and the color of clothes is also strictly regulated. For example, only the eunuchs of the eighth prison are eligible to wear salary in the inner court, and the purple clothes are handed down by the young prisons of the eighth prison.

In other words, it was a young prisoner who came this time.

"Looks like an old friend is here."

Li Xin got up from under the gazebo, turned his head and smiled at the two of them: "You two wait here for a while, I will deal with the imperial decree before I come to drink with you."

"Your Majesty, please."

After finishing speaking, he got up and left the backyard, waiting in the main hall of the front yard. About half an hour later, the imperial decree had arrived at the gate of Li's house. Li Xin got up, walked to his own door, and looked up at the man in purple. eunuch.

Indeed an acquaintance.

Xiao Huai, the adopted son of the Great Eunuch Xiao Zheng, and the Young Supervisor Xiao Huai.

Li Xin smiled, stepped forward to Xiao Huai and said, "Little Eunuch Xiao made a trip himself?"

Xiao Huai had been the internal servant and junior supervisor many years ago. Although he was not very old, he ranked among the top three in the inner court in terms of power. There were even rumors in the capital that Xiao Zheng was busy with his affairs and lacked energy. Handed over to the adoptive son.

Xiao Huai was a few years younger than Li Xin, upon hearing this, he immediately lowered his head, and said respectfully: "Slave Xiao Huai, please greet the Grand Tutor."

Li Xin half-closed his eyes, and said with a smile, "Eunuch Xiao came all the way to my mountainous place, don't you know?"

Xiao Huai raised his head with a serious expression.

"There is an imperial decree."

Li Xin restrained his smile, and said, "The angel wait a moment, I will greet my family, burn incense and set up a case, and welcome the imperial decree."

"It doesn't need to be so grand."

Xiao Huai quickly waved his hands and said, "Your Majesty has said it, just listen to it yourself, Lord Hou."

Li Xin didn't think of alarming his family at first, so he smiled when he heard this.

"Then Xiao Gonggong read it."

Xiao Huai nodded, took out the imperial decree from the box held by the little eunuch behind him, unfolded it, and read it with a serious face.

Li Xin didn't bother to kneel down. He lowered his head slightly and listened to the imperial decree when Xiao Huai read the imperial decree. Then his expression changed slightly, and he frowned and said, "As expected, the Yuwen Department of Northern Xinjiang has changed. I knew early on that Yu Wenzhao is a wolf with ambition."

Xiao Huai put away the imperial decree, put the imperial decree back into the box and handed it to Li Xin, then heaved a long sigh: "Teacher, now King Yan is ready to move in the north, and His Majesty has no one available in Beijing. There is really no other way. Let the servants travel thousands of miles to Yongzhou to disturb the Taifu's rest."

"Your Majesty said that as long as the Taifu is willing to go back to Beijing, he will let the Taifu lead the imperial army to march north. At that time, all military affairs in northern Xinjiang will be under the control of the Taifu."

Li Xin did not answer. After he put the imperial decree on the table, he folded his hands in his sleeves, turned his head and sighed to Xiao Huaichang: "It's not that Li Xin doesn't want to contribute to the country, it's just that he went to the capital when he was young Looking for relatives, I was infected with the cold air, and I am still afraid of the cold, and my whole body hurts when the weather is cold, the doctor said that I can only rest in the south, and I can't go to the cold place."

Chapter 976

In fact, Li Xin's words were not completely fabricated. He came to this world and woke up in that ruined temple. He just earned a little money from Deyilou and bought himself a cotton coat.

Since then, he has been extremely afraid of the cold, and wraps himself up tightly every winter.

Li Xin was an ordinary white-collar worker in his previous life. Like everyone else, he liked to go to bed late and get up late. In recent years, he has been able to get up early every morning to practice internal boxing diligently. It has been a day for more than ten years. A large part of the reason He was afraid that his health would be bad and he would die suddenly one day.

Fortunately, after more than ten years of family boxing practice, his body has become stronger and stronger. Apart from being afraid of the cold in winter, there are no other problems.

Xiao Huai lowered his head and sighed: "My servant also knows that the Taifu has resentment towards the imperial court, but Your Majesty is young after all, and has already realized the problems in northern Xinjiang. Taifu, you are His Majesty's teacher, you should be more lenient with Your Majesty."

Speaking of this, Xiao Huai smiled wryly and said: "Before the servant came, Your Majesty told the servant that he hadn't seen the eldest princess for three or four years. Your Majesty was brought up by the eldest princess since he was a child. He regards the eldest princess as his mother, too. Fu, even if you don't want to lead troops to go out, you should take the eldest princess back to Beijing to have a look..."

Lord Jing'an smiled: "When I am healthy, I will naturally bring the eldest princess back to the capital. I will trouble Eunuch Xiao to tell the emperor on my behalf, saying that there are two major sects in northern Xinjiang, Yunzhou and Jizhou, and Xianbei people can easily enter." If you don’t come, when I’m healthy, I’ll definitely return to the capital to serve you.”

At this time, no matter what the court says, Li Xin cannot go back. Now that the relationship between the two sides is so tense, once Li Xin returns to Beijing, it is hard to say whether the court will kill him, but it will definitely put him under house arrest. It was also Ye Cheng's end.

And Southwest is now confronting the imperial army in Hanzhong. Once Li Xin is imprisoned in the capital, people in Southwest will be fluctuating, especially Mu Ying and Li Shuo. It is very likely that no one will accept the other. Before it was time to leave Shu, internal strife began.

Xiao Huai opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but seeing Li Xin's expression, he didn't dare to speak, just sighed: "Teacher, the imperial court still has a seal for Mr. Ling, and it is also in the box. After reading it out, the Taifu should read it by himself."
