At the court meeting, Li Xin told the new emperor about the military affairs of northern Xinjiang, but the emperor who had just ascended the throne had nothing to say about northern Xinjiang. Li Xin dealt with it.

Then, after all the officials paid homage to the new emperor again, this rather crude "enthronement ceremony" came to an end.

Civil and military officials left Weiyang Palace one after another.

Li Xin also walked out of Weiyang Palace with these ministers, but he did not leave the palace, but walked to Changle Palace.

For a long time, Changle Palace was the residence of the emperor of Jin Dynasty, and it was also the place where the emperor accepted the worship of all officials. However, because Renchen Palace changed and killed too many people, he dared not live in Changle Palace after he ascended the throne. His father or ancestors troubled him in the middle of the night, so after he ascended the throne, he moved the residence of Emperor Taikang to Weiyang Palace. After that, Emperor Yuanzhao also lived in Weiyang Palace, which became a custom.

At this time, Changle Palace had been vacant for more than ten years and no one lived there.

But now, Changle Palace, which has been idle for many years, welcomes another resident. After Li Xin walked in, Xiao Zheng, dressed in red, came out to greet Li Xin immediately, and bowed his hands to Li Xin: "I have seen the governor. "

Li Xin was slightly taken aback, and then smiled dumbly: "Eunuch Xiao is in the Changle Palace, and the news is so well-informed. I just received the title today, and Eunuch Xiao knew about it."

Xiao Zheng looked calm, lowered his head and said: "It was guessed by the servant."

He glanced at it quietly, and said softly: "It's not difficult to guess, Lord Hou, you are a general..."

In the inner court of the palace, there are the Tianmu Supervisor and the Plum Blossom Guard, which are not weak forces. But after the Southwest Army entered the imperial city, Xiao Zheng has let go of it. Now Xiao Huai is in charge, but Xiao Huai He can also be regarded as Yuan Zhao's old servant. After the new dynasty is a little more stable in the future, Xiao Huai's position must be replaced by someone else.

As for Xiao Zheng...

It is already very remarkable to be able to talk to the eunuch who has served two emperors.

The great eunuch who has been in charge of the inner court for more than ten years looked up at Li Xin, then lowered his head, and said in a low tone, "Even if the governor wanted to kill His Majesty, he wouldn't be in such a hurry, he must save some dignity for His Majesty and yourself. stop……"

If it was a serious plot to usurp the throne, then the emperor of the previous dynasty would kill if he said so, but now the Southwest Army can not be regarded as a "rebellion", it can only be regarded as the side of the Qing emperor, who abolished the emperor.

This kind of thing is generally not too ugly. Even if you want to kill Emperor Fei, you will wait a year or two before declaring that Emperor Fei "died of a sudden illness".

Even if Dong Zhuo killed Liu Bian, it was only a year after he abolished the emperor.

Killing people at this time will make it difficult for them to face it, and it will anger the officials in the capital, and it will also make it difficult for the people of the world, which may cause rebellions everywhere.

These are the rules of the court. When there is no absolute power to break these rules, you have to follow these rules, otherwise you will definitely be backlashed.

If the Southwest Army now has more than 30 troops, and all of them are loyal to Li Xin, then General Li can do whatever he wants in the capital, do whatever he wants, call himself emperor if he wants to, kill people if he wants .

But it is a pity that the Southwest Army now has less than [-] people, which is not as good as the number of the two battalions of the Forbidden Army.

"Don't worry, even if I kill him, he won't survive today."

Li Xin looked calm, and said: "The imperial court has issued an edict to demote the abolished emperor to King Huai. The Huai Palace in the capital has been arranged. Since His Highness King Huai is no longer the emperor, he should move out of the palace. I am here today. It is to take His Royal Highness Huai Wang out of the palace and move into Huai Wang's mansion."

Xiao Zheng breathed a long sigh of relief, cupped his hands to Li Xin and said, "I implore you to move to Huai Wang's mansion together with Your Majesty...His Royal Highness Huai Wang."

"It's natural."

Li Xin said with a smile: "His Royal Highness King Huai will need someone to take care of him in his daily life."

"But there is one requirement."

Li Xin looked calm, and said: "Before that, Eunuch Xiao and one of my subordinates will hand over the court's intelligence agencies, such as Plum Blossom Guard."

"The Jin Dynasty has been established for more than a hundred years. I believe that there should be more than one Plum Blossom Guard in the dark. I have sent people to collect all the documents in the palace. Eunuch Xiao took the initiative to hand them over. Everyone will be safe and sound. It may not be so easy to get over from the documents.”

The power of the Great Jin court in the dark is very strong. The Plum Blossom Guard alone is extremely powerful, even far superior to Li Xin's Anbu. In these years, Li Xin was assassinated by the Plum Blossom Guard many times in Yongzhou and in the southwest, at least three times The above life is hanging by a thread, and Anbu under his command is not the opponent of Plum Blossom Guard at all.

In the end, a group of elite veterans were dispatched from the Southwest Army to act as Li Xin's personal guards, patrolling day and night at twelve hours a day, so that Li Xin could escape assassination after assassination.

This organization made Li Xin quite jealous. If he could take over the Plum Blossom Guard and the rest of the dark forces of the imperial court, he would become the most powerful intelligence agency in the world after he digested it.

Xiao Zheng bowed his head silently: "The servants will all be handed over to the governor."

While the two of them were talking, Xiao Zheng had already brought Li Xin into the Changle Palace. At this time, the abolished Emperor...or His Highness King Huai, was kneeling in front of the portraits of successive emperors in the side hall of the Changle Palace, closing his eyes to repent.

After Xiao Zheng went in to report, he stood up from the futon. Because he had knelt for too long, after turning around to see Li Xin, he staggered towards Li Xin.

He was much calmer than yesterday, and said quietly to Li Xin: "The teacher is here."

Li Xin nodded: "I'll take His Highness King Huai out of the palace."

"Prince Huai's mansion outside the palace has been prepared. In Yonglefang, His Highness is very familiar with this house, and should be used to living in it."

Hearing Li Xin's words, King Huai's expression changed, he already knew where he was going to live.

He looked up at Li Xin, his voice trembling slightly: "Is it... Prince Wei's Mansion?"

Li Xin nodded silently.

"It's Prince Wei's Mansion."

Prince Wei's Mansion is the hidden residence of Emperor Taikang. He also grew up in King Wei's Mansion back then. After Emperor Taikang ascended the throne, Prince Wei's Mansion was put on hold as a hidden residence. No one lived there. Unexpectedly, after more than ten years, The original prince of Wei Wang's mansion lived back again.

He was silent for a long time, and finally nodded slowly.

"fair enough."

Chapter 1126 Great Jin Prime Minister

In the next few days, there was not much movement in the capital, at least on the surface. After all, there are Southwest Army inside and outside the city. Even if someone wants to make trouble, they have to weigh their necks , Can you hold the sharp knife in the hands of General Li?

After the Southwest Army occupied the imperial court for ten days, everything seemed to be back on track. It didn’t look much different from the former Yuanzhao Dynasty. Most of the officials in the capital did not move. What was the original position is still the same position now.

The only difference is that there are many more officials from the Southwest in the court and the military. For example, Mu Ying, the former general of the Hanzhou Army, was ordered by the court to be named the Duke of Qian, a general.

Li Shuo, the general of the Ningzhou Army, was slightly inferior. He didn't get a duke, but only got the position of a first-class military marquis, whose title was Peng Yuanhou.

Apart from these two, the soldiers of the Southwest Army also have their own rewards, but because the work of these rewards is too complicated, for the time being, Li Xin has only fixed the rewards of the main generals, and the rest will need to be bit by bit later. determined.

Of course, whether it is Qian Guogong or Peng Yuanhou, it is a temporary reward. Neither Mu Ying nor Li Shuo took it seriously. After all, in their eyes, the current situation is just a transitional period. In a few years, the court has surrendered to the "Southwest Group", and it is inevitable for the world to change surnames.

Even if Li Xin doesn't want to be emperor, these people will force him to be emperor. The reason is very simple. As long as Li Xin is not emperor for a day, no matter how glamorous they are in the Southwest Army on the surface, their actual nature Just a bunch of rebels.

Only when the Li family really sat in that position, can they really get rid of their identities as rebels and become the "founding heroes" who will shine for future generations!

On this day, Li Xin, who was sleeping in the Jing'an Hou Mansion, woke up early as usual. After tidying up, before he could go out, he heard Mu Ying's loud voice.

"Great governor, my subordinates see you coming!"

It's winter now, and because he was afraid of the cold, Li Xin had already put on thick clothes. After putting on the robe, he stepped out and smiled at Mu Ying who was walking towards him: "Mr. Come to me early in the morning, do you know what you can teach me?"

It is worth mentioning that the rewards for the main generals of the Southwest Army have already come down, among which there are four or five people who have been granted the title of Marquis and Worshiping General. One, but Li Xin has not changed his title except for the position of the Great Governor. He is still a Marquis of Jing'an, which is lower than Mu Ying's title.

Mu Ying's dark face flushed slightly, and she said with some embarrassment: "The governor should stop teasing me, how can I be a duke of the state, after the imperial court granted me a duke, now those sycophants in the capital People, comparing me with Old Chen Guogong all day long is really shameful, how can I compare with Old Master Ye?"

"Why not?"
