Unparalleled Concubine

"Your Majesty can take a step to the southwest and announce to the world that the Sixth Highness has unfortunately passed away a few days ago."

When the emperor heard this, his eyes lit up suddenly.

Chapter 1054

In the Battle of Xiangyang City, the Southwest Army had already shown enough fighting power to the world. If they still had a bright enough banner, then not to mention attracting heroes from all over the world to worship, at least they would be able to make most of the local forces in the Jin Dynasty Keep a wait-and-see attitude, so that Li Xin's resistance to entering Beijing will be much reduced.

The Sixth Prince is definitely a bright banner.

The first emperor had only two sons. The current son of heaven almost lost his throne because of the "noble man of Chu" at the beginning of his ascension to the throne. If Li Xin hadn't returned to the capital, perhaps four years ago, Emperor Yuanzhao would have been abolished, and the sixth prince, Ji Ying, would have ascended the throne.

Emperor Yuanzhao has no son so far, and the Sixth Prince is the most suitable successor of the Jin Dynasty in terms of law.

Moreover, the romantic affairs of emperors and generals will always be spread all over the world, especially the emperor's lace news, which is what the common people love to hear most. Although it has been more than five years since the incident of the nobleman Chu, but This incident has already spread throughout Dajin, and there are even many different versions.

Some said that the nobleman Chu fell into the Weiyang Palace for the sake of the emperor, and some said that the emperor reluctantly gave up the nobleman Chu in order to keep the throne. He has no children so far because he still misses the nobleman Chu who died tragically.

Although these versions have deviated from the direction of the Romance, no matter how you say it, there is something between the emperor and the nobles of Chu, which is already the consensus of the people of Jin Dynasty.

This shows that the Son of Heaven is indeed suspected of losing his morals and messing with his mother. Although many years have passed, this old matter can still be brought up again.

After the banner of the six princes in the southwest, of course, we can bring up the old story again, and then list a few treacherous officials in the court, saying that they persecuted the prince, and naturally we can raise the banner on the side of the Qing emperor, and rebel logically.

And Gongyang Shu's opinion is a good way to get rid of the bottom line. The court publicly announced that the sixth prince has passed away, so if there is another sixth prince in the southwest, it will naturally become a fake.

Emperor Yuanzhao said in a deep voice: "The old man's words are very true. I will have someone draft a document and announce it to the world."

Gongyang Shu sighed, and continued to speak: "Your Majesty, if the court is really invincible against the Southwest Army, doing so will only treat the symptoms but not the root cause. Without the Sixth Prince, the Southwest Army can still find other clans as a banner. This method It can be used as a strategy to slow down the army, but it cannot cure the root cause.”

"The crux is how to quell the war."

The old sheep's voice was a little hoarse, and he said in a deep voice: "The old man is not very proficient in war, so he won't make a fool of himself in front of His Majesty, but there is no other solution to this matter besides fighting. Li Xin is His Majesty's uncle. , is the son-in-law of the Tian family, and had a very good friendship with the late emperor in the early years. With such a relationship, His Majesty can first issue an imperial edict to Xiangyang, and then give Li Xin some opportunities to choose. Whether this imperial edict is successful or not , more or less will buy some time for the court."

Although the old sheep is nearly eighty years old, and his energy and energy are a little behind, his thinking is still very clear. He speaks slowly but rhythmically, and his voice is calm.

"Moreover, Li Xin is from Yongzhou and made his fortune in the capital. He had nothing to do with the Southwest. In the past two years, the old man has read a lot of information on the Southwest Army. The predecessor of the Southwest Army was the Hanzhou Mu family. The State Army was later reorganized with the remnants of the Pingnan Army, and gradually formed the current Southwest Army."

"During the formation of the Southwest Army, Lord Li was not in the Southwest most of the time, either in the capital or in Yongzhou. The old man speculated that Lord Li might not have been in charge of the army in the Southwest, at least not directly in the Southwest. There are two people directly leading the troops, one is Mu Ying, the head of the Mu family, and the other is Li Shuo, who was from the Pingnan Army."

"If Marquis Li is not willing to recruit, His Majesty can send people to contact these two people. It doesn't matter if they are high-ranking officials and generous salary, or princes for generations. It dissipated naturally."

Speaking of this, the old man stroked his beard and continued: "These things are just small tricks, it doesn't matter if they succeed or not, they can delay a little time more or less, and it will also cause some doubts among the high-level officials in the Southwest. "

Gongyang Shu raised his head and glanced at the Son of Heaven, and continued: "More importantly than these, the imperial court must learn the lessons of Xiangyang City. If the Southwest Army invades the capital, how should the capital attack, how to defend, and how to deal with it?" Firearms in the Southwest must have clear tactics, and only if they have defeated the Southwest Army on the battlefield, will the imperial court have the qualifications to negotiate conditions with the Southwest in the market."

After hearing Gongyang Shu's words, the Son of Heaven had no clue at first, and his thoughts immediately became clearer. He stood up from the dragon chair, and slightly cupped his hands at the old Yangyang: "Thank you, Mr. Xiang, for entering the palace and clearing up my doubts." .”

?(ˉ?ˉ?)?I

It's hot hahaha =

"The old man said just now, I will let people do it one by one..."

………………

Gongyang rested in Weiyang Palace, and talked with the emperor in detail for a long time, and the emperor let Xiao Zheng send the old man away from Miyagi until the old man lost his energy.

Early the next morning, the imperial court issued a document to the effect that my brother, the sixth son of the first emperor, was killed by someone. The emperor ordered the entire city of Gusu to wear hemp and mourning to see his younger brother off. The emperor himself was unable to deal with political affairs because of his excessive grief. He stopped paying attention to political affairs within three days and sat quietly in mourning.

After the notice was posted, there was an uproar in the entire capital.

No matter what time it is, the people in the capital will always talk the most. They also know a lot about the affairs of the Tian family. They know that the sixth prince is still a young man in his teens. A lucky man who could easily get a proper prince when he was an adult, died young.

At the same time, the imperial court also sent an unknown number of people to the major cities of Jin Dynasty to post notices.

At this time, although the imperial court was defeated in Xiangyang City, the news was firmly blocked by Emperor Yuanzhao, and it has not been sent back to the capital for the time being, so the capital at this time is still so prosperous.

On Desheng Street, there are many people coming and going. From time to time, there are a few vendors hawking along the street. There are also many bun shops on both sides of the road, selling steaming buns.

At the same time, among the crowd watching the "Huangbang", many people were members of Li's subordinates. After seeing Zhang Tie's notice on the wall, these people only glanced at it briefly, and did not continue to read. , and then each hid their figures and disappeared among the crowds in the capital.

When they saw this imperial list, it meant that Li Xin himself would soon be able to see him too.

Chapter 1055 Do you want to be emperor?

No matter how much the news is concealed, it is impossible to completely conceal what has happened. One month after the incident in Xiangyang City, no one in the capital dared to talk about the incident in Xiangyang on the surface, but someone secretly started There was a lot of discussion.

Many people worry that the southwestern rebels are too powerful. Fortunately, because the Jin Dynasty has been invincible for decades, most people have great confidence in the Jin army. They don't think so. Too stupid, many people in the capital have already cursed Xie Jing in the dark as a stupid pig.

But because he is the son of heaven's own uncle, no one dared to directly attack Xie Jing whether he was in court or in opposition.

All in all, several generations of Ming monarchs in the Great Jin Dynasty have accumulated a very good national credit, which made the common people trust the strength of the imperial court. Although a small number of people in the capital have begun to worry about the situation in the Southwest, no one will feel that the Southwest Being able to turn the sky of Dajin.

At most, it was just another Li Jinchen.

The capital here is still peaceful and peaceful, while in Xiangyang City on the other side, Zhao Jia, who is the envoy of the Southwest Economic Strategy, followed Li Xin's instructions and personally brought the sixth prince Ji Ying from Jincheng to Xiangyang. When Zhao Jia's carriage arrived At the Xiangyang government office, Li Xin, who was wearing a cotton coat, was already waiting at the gate of the mansion.

It was the early spring of the sixth year of Yuanzhao, and the weather was still very cold, and Li Xin was a little afraid of the cold, so he was still wearing thick cotton clothes.

Zhao Jia came down alone, and Ji Ying hid in the carriage and did not come out.

Seeing Zhao Jia walking down, Li Xin smiled at Zhao Jia: "Brother You'an, thank you for bringing this child here."

"It's the job of the subordinate."

Zhao Jia sized up Xiangyang City from left to right, and then sighed softly: "To tell you the truth, General, my subordinate Jincheng felt a little unbelievable when he heard the military report of Xiangyang. This is the city that the Chong family has guarded for decades... ..."

"Let's not talk about these things for now."

Li Xin looked up at Zhao Jia, hesitated for a while, and asked, "Did my wife say anything when Brother You An brought this child here?"

The Nine Princesses were very close to the late emperor in the early years, and loved the two sons of the late emperor very much. Now that Li Xin has turned against Emperor Yuanzhao, it is difficult for her to return to the capital. Another nephew came to the southwest with great difficulty, but was forced to After taking her away, Li Xin was a little worried that she would be unhappy.

Hearing Li Xin's words, Zhao Jia sighed helplessly: "General, there are some things that can't be both. Naturally, the eldest princess is reluctant to part with this child, but she is very sensible. The subordinates came to the General's residence First, just to mention a word, the Eldest Princess asked her subordinates to bring out His Highness the Sixth Highness."

Li Xin sighed helplessly, and said with a wry smile: "If she makes trouble with me, I can feel a little better in my heart. The more reasonable I am, the harder it is to bear."

The hardest thing to bear is the grace of a beauty. When the Nine Princesses were young, she was a bit savage, but after she got married, especially after giving birth to Li Xin, she wholeheartedly stood by Li Xin's side. What Li Xin did, he seldom considered her feelings. When he thought about it carefully, he felt a little sorry for his first wife.

Zhao Jia lowered his head, took out a document from his bosom, put his hands in front of Li Xin, and said, "This is a document drafted by the general's order, and the subordinate has already written it."

Li Xin nodded silently, put the documents into his sleeves, then looked up at the carriage behind Zhao Jia, and asked, "Is he in there?"

Zhao Jia nodded and said, "Inside, I brought him all the way here."

Li Xin nodded, walked towards the carriage, stretched out his hand to lift the curtain, and saw a ten-year-old child huddled in the corner of the carriage, with his head buried in his wide sleeves, shivering slightly.

Li Xin squeezed out a kind smile on his face.
