Unparalleled Concubine

Zhao Jia only spoke half a sentence before being interrupted by Li Xin. Seeing Li Xin's annoyed expression, he quickly lowered his head and said, "This subordinate made a slip of the tongue, please forgive me, Lord Hou."

Li Xin closed his eyes, and let out a slow breath: "Forget it, you and I have been friends for more than ten years, chatting in private, you can say anything, but..."

Superintendent Li looked at Zhao Jia, and said in a deep voice, "You must not let outsiders know about your thoughts, not let my wife hear, let alone Mu Ying and the others."

"I can tell you clearly that this idea is absolutely impossible. Even if I leave the capital, it is impossible for me to do such a ruthless thing."

Li Xin said with a cold face: "If you join forces and make Mu Ying and Li Shuo have the same idea, don't blame me for falling out with you."

The method Zhao Jia mentioned is undoubtedly a way to maximize the benefits for the entire Southwest Group. If Mu Ying, Li Shuo and others know about it, they will probably be moved, but it is impossible for Li Xin to do it for the collective interests of the Southwest Group. Compromise, that's why he said these decisive words to Zhao Jia.

"Don't dare."

Zhao Jia's face turned pale, and he lowered his head and smiled wryly, "This subordinate is just talking nonsense for fun, and will never tell a third person..."

He has known Li Xin for more than ten years, and he has almost never seen Li Xin get angry. This is the first time he has seen Li Xin get so angry. Even Zhao Jia felt a little terrified.

Li Xin lowered his head and drank a few sips of tea before calming down, and continued: "There is still time to think about this matter slowly, let's put it aside for now, now our eyes must be on the north, and the local forces around Dajin that are about to move." superior."

The Southwest Army is now entering Beijing in the name of "Welcome to the Holy King", and the emperor sitting on the throne is indeed the emperor of the Ji family, but this kind of deception can be seen through by a discerning eye. Most of the vassal kings of the Ji family from all over the country can also see that the southwestern army committed rebellion. Although these vassals with the same surname as the emperor have no military power in the local area, they have good influence. Next, it is not difficult to pull up an army.

Li Xin continued: "First of all, the Shangshutai will post the emperor's list in various places, explaining that it is the heir of the six princes of the first emperor, and then strictly monitor the local area. If there are any changes in the local area, the nearest yamen will send troops to suppress it."

Speaking of this, Li Xin slowly said: "Especially Guangling, where King Qi is located, must be closely monitored. If necessary, I can ask the Imperial Army to send out a Zhechong Mansion to keep an eye on the feudal lords in the south of the Yangtze River."

Zhao Jiagong lowered his head and said: "The matter that Master Hou explained, the subordinates will do it tomorrow. As for the feudal lords of various places... If Master Hou is worried, you might as well send someone to their houses to watch them, so as to prevent them from doing anything wrong." The change, keep a close eye on them, and it will be more convenient for Lord Hou when he wants to attack them in the future..."

Li Xin nodded silently: "I will take care of this matter and let the people in Anbu handle it."

Two people, one the governor of the governor's mansion, and the actual prime minister of Shangshutai, sat in this warm pavilion, and talked about the local vassal kings from northern Xinjiang, and the officials at all levels and levels in the capital while facing two pots of tea. Arrangements, and the objects that civil servants in the capital can win over or suppress.

The two talked for about an hour or two, and when they were hungry, they asked the people from the Hou Mansion to bring food to the warm pavilion. It was not until midnight that Zhao Jia discussed all the matters in the court with Li Xin.

The Shangshu Youpushe drank several sips of tea, and after resting for a while, he finally regained his breath. He said to Li Xin: "Now the capital and the surrounding forces are all in the hands of Lord Hou, and the generals are also in the hands. He is a member of Lord Hou, so there is nothing to worry about, but the six departments in the capital are not in the hands of Lord Hou, and although his subordinates are in charge of the Shangshutai, if the people in the six departments are obedient, I have nothing to do."

"Winning these civil servants, Lord Hou needs to be put on the agenda as soon as possible. Only when the six departments and nine ministers agree with Lord Hou, can we have the final say on this court. If these people still miss the old court, even if we take charge of the Shangshutai, it will be nothing. It's just a castle in the air."

Speaking of this, Zhao Jia hesitated for a moment, and said, "When necessary, Lord Hou condescends...to accept a few concubines...it shouldn't hurt anything."

"No need to be so troublesome."

Li Xin looked calm.

"In the next few days, I will ask the people from Anbu to send the information of the important civil officials in Beijing to the mansion, promote a group and demote a group, and then replace some people, at most half a month, I will be able to hold them all in my hands .”

Li Dadu chuckled.

"I'm very good at negotiating things like this."

"Especially when you can overwhelm people with power."

Chapter 1138

Northern Xinjiang, Jizhou City.

Because in the past two years, Jizhou, which has suffered from wars and was occupied by Xianbei people for a period of time, has been scarred and scarred. The place, originally a good city, has become a military town.

Since the Zhenbei Army became an army, most of the military supplies of the Zhenbei Army have come from Jizhou. This city does not need to pay any taxes to the imperial court, nor does it need to perform labor services to the imperial court, as long as it can supply the daily needs of the Zhenbei Army. That's fine.

During Ye Ming's period, this Jizhou city was once very prosperous, and the number of people was only slightly lower than that of Yanzhou city.

However, at this time, except for some scattered soldiers, there were basically no ordinary people in the city.

Chen Guogong Ye Mao of the Great Jin Dynasty sat on the wall of Jizhou City, looking quietly to the north.

He was still wearing armor, his hair was clumped, and although his face had been washed, he could see a lot of bruises with the naked eye, and the armor on his body was also heavily scarred, and many marks of being nailed by feather arrows were clearly visible.

In the past few months, he led the recruits recruited in Jiangbei to support him hard. In just a few months, he has fought hard for no less than ten times. Among them, Jizhou once fell again, and Ye Mao could only lead these "Zhenbei The army" fled to the vicinity of Yanzhou City to deal with the Xianbei tribe. Recently, these Xianbei people saw that they could not take advantage of it, so they slowly withdrew from Jizhou and went back outside the pass.

But even so, the entire northern Xinjiang was harassed by these Xianbei people, and they took away at least [-] to [-] people, and robbed countless goods.

This is a relatively normal phenomenon. Even when the Zhenbei Army and the Yunzhou Army were guarding the northern border, these Xianbei people did not seldom "play the autumn wind" near the border, but the people who were taken away at those times were generally several hundred There are people up and down, and this time it directly exceeds [-].

Ye Mao could barely resist the Xianbei's soldiers, and he was helpless in this situation.

Sitting on the city wall of Jizhou, he has been in a daze for a whole day.

No one dared to disturb him, until the sun was setting, a general from Chen Guogong's mansion slowly walked up to Ye Mao, squatted down, and said softly: "General, the barbarians will not come today..."

As he said that, he looked at the wound on Ye Mao's body, and said with some reluctance: "Also, the injury on your body is not healed, the doctor said that you can't cover the armor anymore, you should take it off quickly, so that you can recuperate... "

This man was also an old man from Zhenbei Army back then. He squatted beside Ye Mao, his eyes were a little red: "If you drag yourself down, the pillar of Beijiang will fall..."

Ye Mao was staring at the north side in a daze, but when he heard this, he twisted his neck and glanced at the general, his voice was a little hoarse: "Why are the big men crying? I know my body well, so it's fine."

At this time, Ye Mao had at least three or four arrow wounds that penetrated more than an inch into his body, all of which were simply bandaged and left untreated. Compared with Li Shuo's injuries when he attacked the capital, they were slightly more serious, which meant that he was very talented. His body was extremely strong, otherwise he would have collapsed by now.

Ye Mao stared at the north again, and saw that the sun had almost set, before he tried to stand up.

Seeing this, the family next to him quickly stepped forward to help him up.

Ye Mao is nine feet tall and weighs more than two hundred catties. The family will use all their strength just to support him.

"It seems that the Xianbei barbarians will not come today, let the brothers strengthen their vigilance, and notify me immediately if there is any movement."

Because this newly recruited "Suppressing North Army" has basically not undergone systematic training, resulting in few qualified scouts and no ability to go out of the city to detect the movements of the Xianbei people, so Ye Mao can only use this last The primitive method is to guard the city wall of Jimen Pass day by day.

In the past few months, he has lost at least twenty catties.

While supporting Ye Mao, the family general said, "General, according to the news from the imperial court, the Yunzhou army is almost arriving in Yunzhou at this time. When the Yunzhou army returns to Yunzhou, our side The pressure will be greatly reduced, and the general will not need to guard the city wall every day..."

In the past few months, in addition to being harassed by Xianbei people at Jimen Pass, Yunzhou City, which has only 3 to [-] people, will naturally be patronized by Xianbei people. The state army is all veterans. They can't defend the city, and the Xianbei people can't do anything about them in a short time.

However, the border towns and ordinary villages near Yunzhou City have suffered catastrophe. In the past few months, the people near Yunzhou City have suffered the most. The number of Yunzhou Army is not enough, so they can only defend Yunzhou City. The suffering of the people is helpless.

Mentioning the Yunzhou Army, Ye Guogong was furious and scolded: "This group of sons of bitches rushed to the capital with their tails wagging. What happened? They didn't even see the city wall of the capital, so they rolled away in disgrace." come back!"

"The next time I see Zhong Wu, and that old bastard Zhong Xuantong, I must break their legs!"

Ye Mao was furious and scolded Zhong Jia all the way.

After returning to his residence in Jizhou, someone helped him take off the armor on his body. The arrow wound on his back was inflamed and festered because he had not received a proper rest and was stuffed in the armor for a long time. trend.

Ye Mao has a fierce personality, and he doesn't care about these things, so he is about to pick up his wine glass to drink, and the old doctor who is in charge of treating his injuries helps him change the gauze on his body, and then waved his hands repeatedly: "General, this wound on your body is about to explode. Now, if you drink again, this injury will never be healed anyway."

Ye Mao put down the jug resentfully, and snorted: "Mother, the back pain is unbearable, how can I bear it if I don't drink a few sips of wine?"

But he was not a reckless man, after hearing the doctor's words, he stopped drinking, resisted the wound, and asked the doctor to change the gauze for him.
