Unparalleled Concubine

This time the power collection went very smoothly. First, Li Xin had a good relationship with these three people. Second, the Southwest Army was actually controlled by Li Xin at this time. But the way of control has become direct control.

At this time, the Southwest is still only in a corner, and its efforts on the surface are not so dazzling. At this time, there will basically not be too many conflicts, and it will also prevent the Southwest forces from disintegrating from the inside in the future.

With the soul of his previous life, Li Xin understood very deeply that if a team wants to achieve great things, it must maintain the purity of the team, at least maintain the purity of the team before the success, and eliminate the fundamental problems within the team. The letter is to solve some problems within the Southwest Group first, and then look far away at the capital.

The first problem is the three-point division of power in the Southwest. Now Li Xin, through his own prestige, has taken all the military power into his own hands, temporarily solving this problem.

After all three nodded, Li Xin, who was still sitting on the chair, waved his hand, motioning for them to sit down, and then continued: "Since you all agree, then this matter is settled. I will put my house in a few days, It will be changed to the Southwest General's Mansion, and from now on, the Southwest Army will send military affairs involving captains and above to the General's Mansion.

Zhao Jia pondered for a while, and said in a deep voice: "There are not many people above the captain of the Southwest Army. In my opinion, all military affairs above the captain's level must be sent to the General's Mansion, so that Lord Hou can truly control the Southwest Army. Otherwise, it can only be controlled, but not controlled, which is a bit empty."

Li Xin frowned and said, "I can't see so many things by myself."

"Which Great General's Mansion doesn't have some staff and secretaries? Lord Hou has some staff in the mansion to help Lord Hou manage the council. If it doesn't work, I can resign from the Jinglue Mansion and come to the Lord Hou's mansion to make a long history. It's the staff who help Lord Hou manage the mansion."

Zhao Jia's current job is to manage the government affairs of the entire Southwest, and his authority is actually higher than that of Li Shuo and Mu Ying. , so in name it is not very pleasant, but in fact it has become Li Xin's negative hand in handling the military affairs of the Southwest Army, and his real power has not declined but has risen.

Li Xin shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Brother You'an, let's work in the Jinglue Mansion to make a living. The 31 states in the southwest are without Brother You'an. I really don't know where to find another Jinglue envoy."

Having said that, Li Xin paused for a moment, and then said: "However, Brother You'an's words are not unreasonable. The staff of the General's Mansion, I will look for them in the next period of time. If the three of you have suitable candidates to recommend, you can also recommend them." Tell me that for the time being, the General's Mansion is only responsible for military affairs above the captain's level, and after the staff of the General's Mansion is established, it will be lowered to above the school lieutenant level."

The three of them looked at each other, then stood up and bowed their heads to Li Xin: "Your subordinate obeys!"

Zhao Jia would not be affected much by the return of the Southwest Army to the General's Mansion, but Li Shuo and Mu Ying, especially the Mu family who managed the Jincheng Southwest Army and the Hanzhou Southwest Army at the same time, would lose a lot of power.

And the staff group to be formed by the General's Mansion will also have a very important position in the southwest in the future. Li Xin asked the three of them to recommend candidates for the staff, and he also wanted to distribute some of the power of the General's Mansion to the three of them and compensate them. Loss.

Three people can accept this plan for the time being.

After talking about the business, Li Xin asked the three of them to sit down again, then he raised his wine glass, toasted Mu Ying alone, and said, "Brother Mu has worked hard for me in the Southwest to take care of the Southwest Army all these years. "

Mu Ying hurriedly raised her wine glass and touched Li Xin.

"Master Hou is polite, it's what your subordinates should do."

Li Xin reached out and patted Mu Ying's shoulder, and said: "I have known Brother Mu for many years, and I naturally know Brother Mu's character, so I handed over the Southwest Army to Brother Mu, and the title of King of Shu also I gave it to the Mu family, and I have never been suspicious of the Mu family."

Hearing Li Xin's words, Mu Ying felt a little frightened. He smiled wryly and said, "Your Majesty, if you have anything to say, just say it. My subordinates don't have Mr. You'an's twisted guts, so they can't understand what you say." The meaning of..."

Zhao Jia looked at his nose with his eyes and his heart with his nose, as if he didn't hear this sentence.

Li Xin sighed slightly, and said, "I mean, the Mu family..."

"It's time to restrain yourself."

The initial prototype of the Southwest Army was the [-] Nanshu survivors in Hanzhou, but at that time, the Nanshu survivors were basically peasants who took a knife and went to the battlefield. The combat effectiveness was extremely poor. Later, Li Xin and Mu Ying After many efforts, the Hanzhou Army barely got into shape.

In this process, the Mu family played a very important role.

From then on, the Mu family would participate in every link of the southwestern forces' itinerary. Later, His Royal Highness Shu Wang of the Shu Palace was even directly the son of Mu Ying, the blood of the Mu family.

After Mu Ying brought many Mu family members from Hanzhou to Jincheng, the minds of many Mu family members quietly changed.

The King of Shu in the Shu Palace is the Mu family, and the entire Southwest is under the control of the Shu Palace, so the Mu family has naturally become the master of the Southwest.

Over time, some of the Mu family even regarded themselves as the "royal family" in the southwest, and they did not stop doing anything wrong in Jincheng and Hanzhou. Everyone turned their faces, so the contradictions became more and more.

It is inconvenient for Zhao Jia to tell Mu Ying directly about this matter. He can serve as an envoy in the Southwest, but basically he cannot do without the Mu family, or Mu Ying's support. He has no way to use the envoy. Name head, attack the Mu family.

This can lead to misunderstanding.

This matter can only be said by Li Xin.

Lord Jing'an stood up, and said calmly: "We haven't accomplished anything yet, and we are still huddling in the southwest to wait for the opportunity. At this time, the Mu family will start to dominate the southwest, which is not appropriate."

Speaking of this, Li Xin glanced at Muying, said with a smile: "When our brothers enter the imperial city, the southwest is the land of the Mu family. At that time, no matter what the Mu family does in the southwest, I won't ask any more. What does Brother Mu think?"

Mu Ying swallowed her saliva, stood up and smiled wryly at Li Xin, "Master Hou, I really don't know what happened..."

Li Xin didn't speak, Zhao Jia stood up slowly and said, "Since the opening of the Shu Palace in the ninth year of Taikang, the Mu family has enclosed land in Hanzhou, and Hanzhou is the hometown of the Mu family. I ignored it, but some Mu family members went too far."

"In recent years, some members of the Mu family have even taken their family members to forcibly enclose land near Jincheng."

"Since the ninth year of Taikang, the Mu family has been involved in many cases, especially in the past few years when they have become more arrogant. There are more than a dozen murder cases alone."

"The Jinglue Mansion sent people to arrest them, but these people hid in Mu's house and couldn't come out..."

Speaking of this, Zhao Jia glanced at Mu Ying, and said calmly: "They also asked the little official sent by the Jinglue Mansion, does the Jinglue Mansion want to make an enemy of the Mu family?"

Mu Ying's face changed drastically, he looked up at Zhao Jia, and said with a dark face, "Mr. You'an, why didn't you tell me?"

"For one thing, you are not often in Jincheng."

Putting his hands in his sleeves, Zhao Jia said flatly, "Secondly, I indulged them on purpose, in order to show Lord Hou a look at the internal problems of Southwest."

Chapter 1028 Unspoken

Mu Qing, the old head of the Mu family, passed away a few years ago. Since then, Mu Ying has taken full control of the Mu family from the inside out.

But because of the need to seize military power, Mu Ying devoted herself to the Southwest Army.In the past few years, he often lived in Jiange. After the Southwest Army occupied Hanzhong a few months ago, he went to Hanzhong and did not return home for several months.

It was after Li Xin returned to Jincheng that he rushed back.

At this time, hearing Zhao Jiaru's words, Mu Ying's dark face was covered with sweat, he wiped it with his sleeve, turned to look at Li Xin, and said with a wry smile: "Master Hou, I will not deal with these matters." I really don’t know anything about it. We’ve known each other for more than ten years. You should know who I am. It’s the result of ten years of hard work that the Southwest has been able to achieve this situation. When the Southwest Army was still the Hanzhou Army, Lord Hou and I said not to let too many Mu family members join the Hanzhou Army, so as not to get out of control. Up to now, there are two to 3000 members of my Mu family, and there are no more than ten fingers in the army, and the largest of them is just a captain."

"Many people in the clan called me the head of the family for being unreasonable."

"Later, the Southwest Army was divided into three, and Lord Hou handed over your share to me to take care of it. There is no one named Mu in Jincheng's Southwest Army."

Mu Ying bowed deeply to Li Xin: "Master Hou treats Mu Ying with sincerity, and Mu Ying has also treated Master Hou with sincerity. I will check what Mr. You An said after I go back. I will check how many lands the Mu family has circled. Go back, I will personally escort those who committed crimes to Mr. You'an's Jinglue Mansion, whether they are killed or cut, Mu Ying will not say a word."

Li Xin smiled and patted Mu Ying's shoulder.

"Of course I believe in Brother Mu's character, but I told Brother Mu in the third year of Taikang that I believe in Brother Mu, but I may not trust the Mu family. Brother Mu's current home should be the Shu Palace. You must restrain the clansmen, and don't let the Mu family ruin the reputation of the Shu Palace."

"Brother Mu and the Mu family have contributed a lot to Southwest to be able to have what it is today. Brother Mu, you and Brother You'an have discussed how to deal with this matter. No matter what the result is, I only have one word."

The smile on Li Xin's face subsided, and he said seriously: "Don't hurt your peace."

Mu Ying lowered her head immediately: "Don't worry, Lord Hou, no matter what the situation is, I will always stand by Lord Hou."

Li Xin nodded with a smile, then stretched out his hand to beckon to Li Shuo, and said, "Let's go to the back room to talk, let Brother Mu and Brother You'an discuss how to deal with these matters."

Li Shuo respectfully nodded: "Yes."

After speaking, he followed Li Xin and left, leaving only Mu Ying and Zhao Jia in the main hall.

Seeing Li Xin walking away, Mu Ying looked back at Zhao Jia, gritted her teeth angrily, and then smiled helplessly at Zhao Jia: "Mr. , you say hello to me about this kind of thing, it is impossible for me not to stand by your side, why bother to complain in front of Lord Hou at this time?"
