Unparalleled Concubine

Li Xin had already put on a slightly thicker robe, and said to Zhao Jia, "Brother Mu will be able to return to the capital in about two or three days."

"At that time, the imperial court will arrange for the emperor to go out of the city to greet him, and to judge the meritorious service of the Longwu guards who have raided thousands of miles."

Mu Ying led his troops out of the city after the year, and half a year had passed in the blink of an eye. In this half a year, he had led his troops to attack for about five thousand miles, and there was a deadly battle with the Xianbei king's tent, which was dangerous Needless to say, just talking about the hard work involved is beyond human ability.

Zhao Jia put down the teacup in his hand, shook his head and said, "The emperor in the palace has become more and more restless in the past six months. He was unwilling to go to court two months ago. Lord Hou wanted him to go out of the city to meet him. I can't help but get sick."

Li Xin frowned slightly, then shook his head and said, "Forget it, he's unhappy, and it's understandable. I'll go to the palace in person tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, and explain the matter to him."

Li Shuo, who had been silent at the side, suddenly said, "Grand Governor, if there is another clan that seeks rebellion in the future, how should we deal with it?"

"Didn't I let you set the rules in Mingzhou?"

Li Xin's expression was calm: "Since it has been established, follow the rules. If there is any rebellion by the clan in the future, all the families will be executed."

Having said that, Li Xin paused for a moment, and said, "It's only up to three generations, if it's connected to a direct line, we won't pursue it for the time being."

The main line of the Ji family is the line of Emperor Taikang. Emperor Taikang has died of illness. He has more than a dozen sons, but only two of them are considered as the lineage.

Li Xin's words mean that if there is another clan of the Ji family rebelling, follow that branch and pursue the two generations of the same clan.

This rule is not particularly harsh, because the Great Jin has been passed down to the present, and the generation of Yuanzhao and Yankang is already the eighth generation. The clans in various states and counties rarely have branches that are closely related to the direct lineage.

Even if there were, those similar to those of King Zhao of Gusu had already been watched by Li Xin's people.

Li Shuo bowed his head immediately: "The general understands."

Li Xin sat on the main seat, lowered his head, took a sip of tea, and then continued: "Brother You'an, you can't be idle for the past two days. Officials of the fifth rank and above in the capital have all checked in advance. The students in the Imperial College, the famous scholars and scholars in the capital and surrounding areas, all need to say hello in advance."

Li Dadu has no expression on his face, and said in a deep voice: "Tell them, I have a good temper on weekdays, as long as they don't kill me, I have never committed any crime."

"At this time, if there are people with lofty integrity who can leave the capital, I will not stop them, and I will not send people to intercept and kill them, but when that day comes, some people will jump out and "sacrifice their lives for righteousness". You have to move your head!"

The people in the southwest department love to hear Li Xin say this kind of thing the most. Zhao Jia and Li Shuo's eyes lit up when they heard the words, and they lowered their heads and said, "Don't worry, the governor, the subordinates must make arrangements! "

Li Dadu nodded.

"Since that's the case, I'll be waiting in the capital, waiting for Mu Ying to return victorious."

He stood up from the chair, walked to the door of the living room, looked up at the cloudless sky outside, and let out a long breath.

"The human affairs are exhausted, but the destiny is here?"

Chapter 1182 Your Majesty walk slowly

On the seventh day of September, Mu Ying's team is only about fifty miles away from the capital, and they can reach the capital by tomorrow at the latest.

Early this morning, Li Xin went out in his own carriage and headed straight for the imperial city.

The rule of the Great Jin court is that there is a small court meeting every three days, and a big court meeting once every ten days. What is more interesting is that most of the things that are really raised at the big court meeting have already had results when they are brought up. A small court meeting with only a small number of ministers participating can often decide major events.

However, this kind of situation will only appear when the emperor is in power. Now the emperor of Yankang is young, and the major affairs of the government are all from Shangshutai, so the small court meeting once every three days does not exist, only the big court meeting every ten days , as scheduled.

However, Emperor Yankang seemed to be in poor health during the past six months. In recent months, he had repeatedly complained of illness and was absent from the court meeting. Fortunately, this young emperor did not care about any errands, so it was not important to be absent from him.

The seventh day of the lunar new year was not the time for the Great Court Meeting, so Li Xin entered the imperial city directly from Yong'an Gate, and arrived at Weiyang Palace without hindrance.

At the gate of Weiyang Palace, Li Xin stopped and looked up at the magnificent palace.

During the ten years of the Taikang Dynasty, Li Xin had entered and exited Weiyang Palace countless times, and even the emperor's bedroom was discussed with the Emperor Taikang and moved from Changle Palace to Weiyang Palace.

After Emperor Taikang died of illness, Li Xin seldom entered and exited Weiyang Palace. In the Yankang Dynasty, although he occupied the capital, he rarely came to the imperial city, except for the day he entered the palace. It never came again.

Li Xin was in a trance in front of the Weiyang Palace for a moment, and when he came back to his senses, he found that the eunuch Xiao Huai, who was dressed in red, was already standing beside him respectfully, with a respectful expression: "The governor is here to face the saint? "

Li Xin nodded silently, and said: "Dispel all the palace people in Weiyang Palace. Within a stick of incense, Weiyang Palace can no longer have any court ladies and eunuchs. I have some private matters to discuss with the emperor."

Li Xin's face was calm: "If there is any palace servant hidden in this palace, there will not be a single living person."

As a powerful minister at present, Li Xin has absorbed the experience of many powerful ministers in history, for example, he cannot go to the palace alone to meet the emperor, in case he is stabbed to death by the little eunuchs around the emperor.

Xiao Huai looked respectful: "Your servant obeys."

After a while, Xiao Huai had brought out all the palace people in Weiyang Palace. Li Xin waved his hand, and the dozens of guards who entered the palace with him immediately guarded the gate of Weiyang Palace. The governor walked into the Weiyang Palace with his hands behind his back.

Soon, Li Xin saw Emperor Yankang in the bedroom of Weiyang Palace, wearing a light blue uniform.

Emperor Yankang was studying at the moment. When he saw Li Xin walking in, he didn't panic. He just quietly put down the scroll and looked up at Li Xin: "Uncle is here to kill me today?"

Li Xin shook his head slightly, found a chair in the dormitory, sat opposite the emperor, and said calmly, "I told you many years ago, as long as you don't kill yourself, I will give you a way out."

"I'm a man of my word."

Although Emperor Yankang had no expression on his face, his slightly trembling eyelashes betrayed his fear and anxiety.

He swallowed, and boldly looked at Li Xin.

"Then uncle is here today...?"

Sitting on the chair, Li Xin smiled at the emperor in front of him: "You don't need to be so nervous, just call me uncle, we are relatives, I will not harm you."

"I came to see you in the palace today because there are some things I need to explain to you in advance, so as not to cause conflicts and make everyone look bad."

Li Xin smiled: "I heard that His Majesty has rarely gone to court in recent months."

After all, Emperor Yankang was still a young man. Facing the pressure from Li Xin, he was still able to hold on to his energy at first, but now he lost his energy and almost sat on the dragon couch, gritting his teeth slightly.

"I... have no way to take care of the government, what difference does it make if I go to the court or not?"

"You feel uncomfortable."

Li Xin clapped his hands and smiled: "I still remember the years when you were imprisoned in Shanyin by Emperor Yuanzhao, all you thought about was survival, even if I brought you to the capital later, you told me that you wanted to survive. "

"But now, you've been the emperor for two years, and you're slowly becoming reluctant to take this position, so now you feel a little uncomfortable, don't you?"

Emperor Yankang's face turned pale, but he lowered his head and did not speak.

"Brother is dead, Uncle... will you let me go?"

"If your brother can listen to me, he should still be the Ninety-Five Supreme."

Li Xin let out a breath slowly, and said: "Forget it, don't tell your child these old things, and you can understand why I said it. I came into the palace today to explain something to you."

As he said that, Li Dadu stood up from his chair and put his hands behind his back: "Tomorrow, General Mu Ying of Longwuwei will return from victory in the north. At that time, all the civil and military personnel of the Manchu Dynasty should go to greet General Mu. Your Majesty will also welcome you." Well, it doesn’t matter if you don’t go or not.”

Speaking of this, Li Xin lowered his eyebrows and said: "However, after General Mu returned to Beijing from Northern Xinjiang, I forcibly suppressed the general trend for two years, and I couldn't suppress it anymore."

"Your Majesty should have read history books when he was in Shanyin. Even if he didn't read them in Shanyin, he should have read a lot during the two years in the capital."
