Unparalleled Concubine

"Brother You'an's words make me feel more at ease."

Li Xin smiled.

"Calculating the time, in a short while, the imperial court will issue a document designating me as a traitor."

He looked at Zhao Jia, and said with a smile: "At that time, I will be white, and I have to get my lord to take care of me."

Zhao Jia said with a smile: "Who will be the rebel in the future, it's hard to say."

While the two were talking, a person from Anbu hurried over, handed over a document to Li Xin, turned around respectfully and left.

General Li looked at the document in his hand and laughed at himself.

"When did the court become so efficient?"

He opened the document and glanced at it roughly, his face was a little unsightly.

Zhao Jia noticed that his expression was not right, and asked, "General, what happened?"

Li Xin frowned slightly.

"Ji Ying is dead."

Chapter 1059

Yesterday, Ji Ying stayed in Xiangyang City alive and well, and had a meal with Li Xin. In addition, people from the Anbu did their best to protect him. The security level is almost the same as Li Xin himself. Naturally, it is impossible to just die of.

But in this document sent from the capital, it clearly stated that the sixth prince, Ji Ying, was seriously ill in Shanyin. After being diagnosed and treated by the imperial physician for several months, he unfortunately passed away. When Emperor Yuanzhao learned that his younger brother had died, he fell to the ground and cried bitterly. In grief, he passed out in Weiyang Palace without water or rice for three days and three nights.

After the coffin of the Sixth Prince was sent back to the capital, the Son of Heaven personally carried the coffin and buried him in the funeral mausoleum near Emperor Jing's mausoleum, so that he could accompany the late emperor.

All civil and military officials in the capital participated in the funeral of the sixth prince.

That is to say, regardless of whether the sixth prince is dead or not, he is already dead in legal terms. Even if Ji Ying reappears in the capital, she is just an ordinary person who looks a lot like the sixth prince.

What's worse, Ji Ying has been imprisoned in Shanyin for so many years. Except for Xie's family, no one recognizes him. No one knows what he looks like now. Even if Ji Ying returns to the capital, no one will know. who is he.

No matter who he is, he cannot be the sixth prince.

Although this trick is to pick up Li Xin's wisdom in dealing with Li Shen back then, it has to be said that it is still very useful. Once the death of the sixth prince becomes a consensus, then Li Xin spent a lot of money to bring back to the southwest from Shanyin. Ji Ying is useless.

He was silent for a while, then handed the document in Zhao Jia's hand, frowned and said, "Brother You'an, take a look too."

After Zhao Jia took over the document, he looked at ten lines at a glance, and quickly read the whole story. After reading it, he also frowned: "The imperial court's way of dealing with it is very good. Once this move is made, the sixth prince in the southwest , the usefulness is very limited.”

After he paused, he lowered his head and said, "General, do you want to send someone to Yuezhou to invite King Yueyang to Xiangyang?"

"no need."

Li Xin narrowed his eyes, and said in a muffled voice: "The right to speak is in the hands of the imperial court. No matter who we use as a banner, the imperial court can call him a fake with a single sentence, which is of little use."

"We use the six princes to ask for an orthodox status. The so-called status is nothing more than the right to speak. With Mu Ying's eastward advance, a large number of Central Plains territories will fall into our hands. These places also have great Confucian scholars. Let's rectify Ji Ying's name by ourselves, we don't need the court."

Speaking of this, Li Xin turned his head to look at Zhao Jia, and said in a deep voice: "This matter still needs to be taken care of by Brother You'an. Brother You'an is a scholar, so he should know who are famous scholars today. After the place, please ask Brother You'an to send someone to their house to act as a lobbyist, let them speak for Southwest."

Zhao Jia frowned and smiled bitterly, "I'm afraid it won't work."

"The reason why those scholars can become celebrities is because they cherish their own reputation. Before the dust has settled, they will never speak for us rebels. If they are forced by life and death, it will be counterproductive."

"In this world, there are very few saints."

General Li sneered and said: "No one is perfect, I asked Zhao Yi to lead a group of people from the Anbu to conduct a detailed investigation, and they can always find some people with dirty buttocks, using the scandal they have done to force They speak to Southwest."

"With the first and the second, the latter will be much easier. As long as we fight smoothly on the battlefield, more and more people will stand up and speak to us."

Zhao Jia nodded, and said: "That's the truth, but everything is difficult at the beginning. I have to preside over political affairs in Jincheng, and I can't separate myself. I can make big decisions about these things, but someone needs to be responsible for the specific things." OK……"

Li Xin closed his eyes, thought for a while, and then said, "I have a candidate here, and I can let him work under Brother You'an's tent."

Zhao Jia chuckled: "This subordinate also has a candidate, who wants to be an important person to Lord Hou."

The two looked at each other and smiled tacitly.

Obviously, the two of them are talking about the same person.

That is... Zhao Fang.

Zhao Fang was born in a family of Zhaojun, a descendant of the Li family in Zhaojun. He was familiar with poetry and books since he was a child. Even Zhao Jia admired him very much in terms of knowledge. He once suggested to Li Xin that he stay in Jincheng as an official, which is even more rare But he also went to the Zhenbei Army to fight for several years, his mind is quite mature, and his eloquence is not bad, so he is suitable to be this lobbyist.

"That kid has been recuperating for a few months. He should be healed now. I will write a letter to him later. After Brother You'an returns to Beijing, I will let him work in Brother You'an's Jinglue Mansion." .”

Zhao Jia lowered his head slightly, and said with a smile: "Zhao Fang and the little girl are newly married Yaner, and they have been together for a few more months. In a few days, the general may have a nephew."

General Li smiled broadly.

"I still have more than a dozen jars of Zhurong wine from the early years of Taikang in my house. There are really many nephews like Brother You'an said, so I took out all the wine and celebrated it."

Zhu Rongjiu was produced by Li Xin during the Chengde period, but there were not many Zhurong wines during the Chengde period. It has been more than ten years now, and it is also a rare treasure.

Zhao Jia's eyes lit up when he heard the words, and he smiled at Li Xin and said, "It's rare that the general is so generous. I remember that when the youngest daughter of the general's family was born, he was not willing to share the old wine with us."

"At that time, the year was not enough, and it didn't taste good after drinking."

Li Xin waved his hand: "Let's not talk about this anymore. Brother You'an, if you hear the news that my sister is pregnant after you return to Jincheng, remember to send me a letter. I have to remember the date."

Li Xin and Zhong Xiaoxiao have lived together for so many years, and their relationship is much better than that of ordinary siblings. This is something that everyone in the Southwest knows. Zhao Jia lowered his head slightly, and said: "This subordinate remembers it."

Zhao Jia and Li Xin had known each other for many years, and they were more like friends than superiors and subordinates. After chatting for a while, a black-armored general climbed up the tower. Clasping his hands, he said, "General, this subordinate is going back to Jincheng tomorrow and needs to pack up his things, so I'm leaving."

Li Xin also saw Li Shuo's figure, and immediately nodded, "I'll see you off at the west city gate tomorrow morning."

Zhao Jia bowed and retreated, Li Shuo stepped forward, bowed to Li Xin and said, "General, the Ningzhou Army has been cleaned up and can go at any time."

"Leave 1 people to guard Xiangyang City. After ten days, the Ningzhou Army will rise up and follow Muying to the east."

Li Xin looked at Li Shuo and said solemnly: "This time Muying's Hanzhou Army will fight all the way to Gyeonggi as the vanguard army, and the Ningzhou Army will serve as the central army. I hope that the Ningzhou army will follow behind the Hanzhou army, and when they reach Gyeonggi, their numbers will more than double."

Li Shuo bowed his head respectfully: "Don't worry, General, I will definitely do well in the end!"

Li Xin patted his cheap younger brother on the shoulder, and said calmly: "When you get to Gyeonggi, your Ningzhou army will attack. You should think about it carefully."

Li Shuo's breathing suddenly became heavier, and he bowed his head deeply.

"The last general..."

"Ningzhou Army will live up to the General's expectations!"
