Unparalleled Concubine

Emperor Chengde looked Li Xin up and down, and said with a chuckle: "I went to the north, and it was quite dark, but it's okay if it's dark, I used to look a little sick."

Li Xin's forehead was sweating.

"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty."

Emperor Chengde squinted his eyes, and chatted with Li Xin a few words, and Li Xin answered them one by one. Suddenly, His Majesty the Emperor said abruptly: "Lao Qi has seen you?"

Li Xin only hesitated for a moment, then bowed his head and admitted: "I have seen it."

It is impossible to hide the news of the Seventh Prince's leaving Beijing from His Majesty the Emperor. There is no point in lying on this kind of issue, so Li Xin is very honest.

"What did he tell you?"

Li Xin lowered his head, and after a little consideration, he said, "His Royal Highness the King of Wei told his ministers that Li Yan, Minister of the Ministry of War, wrote a letter to me to collude with Southern Xinjiang and intend to kill me. Your Highness told me to be careful after entering Beijing."

"Your Highness also said, Your Majesty, you want to see the minister, so as soon as the minister entered the capital, he non-stop came to the palace to meet the saint."

Emperor Chengde clapped his hands, hehe said with a smile: "You two really have a deep relationship, let him run to remind you at this time."

"It's His Highness who thinks highly of me."

The smile on Chengde Emperor's face suddenly subsided, and he slapped the table hard: "You think I'm praising you, don't you? As my military supervisor, what's your intention to meet the rebels during your stay in Southern Xinjiang?"

Li Xin sighed, knelt on the ground, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty clearly learned that it was the rebels from southern Xinjiang who took my ministers into captivity, and it was not because I wanted to see them."

Speaking of this, Li Xin paused: "Brother Wang Mo and the others can also testify to this point."

Emperor Chengde laughed back angrily: "So, my captain of the Guards Battalion also followed you to hide it from me?"

Li Xin shook his head and said, "Brother Wang Mo and the others didn't know who the person who kidnapped me was. Later, those rebels sent me back. In order not to implicate them, I didn't explain the situation to Brother Wang Mo and them."

Emperor Chengde thought for a moment, then squinted his eyes and asked, "Then how does the Shu man next to you explain?"

"He is a line that I use to contact those rebels."

The emperor was furious, and slapped the table fiercely: "You still said that you didn't collude with the rebels!"

Li Xin shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, the remnants of Southern Shu have already become spring ice and autumn insects, and they can't make a climate. I have no reason to collude with these dying people. The reason why I want to contact them is that one day, I will repay myself. A personal vendetta."

"personal enmity?"

Li Xin lowered his head and said: "The Marquis of Pingnan has a great enmity with the minister, but the Li family has such a powerful force that the minister can't move them, so I thought about leaving a line in southern Xinjiang, maybe in the future from this line, Revenge to Pingnan Hou Mansion."

Speaking of this, Li Xin bowed his head and said: "In any case, the remnants of Southern Shu are the rebels of the Jin Dynasty. It is an indisputable fact that I have contact with the rebels because of my own personal grievances. Now I plead guilty, please come down!" fine."

Emperor Chengde looked at Li Xin coldly.

"Where is that Shu man?"

"At this moment, I am waiting for the order at the minister's home."

Chapter 199 The Power of Words

These few words can be said to be the peak level of Li Xin's own speaking skills.

Li Xin's simple answer not only picked out the Seventh Prince, but even himself was picked out.

This is the most perfect answer that Li Xin can think of so far.

If he hadn't been in marketing in his previous life, relying on his mouth for a living, he probably wouldn't be able to utter these few words so fluently.

More critical is the last sentence.

In the eyes of Emperor Chengde, although Li Xin had conflicts with the Pingnanhou Mansion, he was the blood of the Li family after all. " level, and Li Xin has already put into action for this hatred, which makes the Chengde Emperor's trust in Li Xin a bit more.

After all, if Li Xin wanted to bring down the Pingnanhou Mansion wholeheartedly, then he would be on the same front as the Chengde Emperor.

His Majesty the Emperor quietly looked at Li Xin who was kneeling on the ground, and narrowed his eyes slightly: "You said you were going to use those remnants of Southern Shu to deal with the Pingnan Army, so tell me how to deal with the Pingnan Army?"

Li Xin lowered his head and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, until now, I haven't had a specific charter, but Li Xing, the leader of Nanshu, is also very dissatisfied with Pingnanhoufu, this matter can be used In the future, when His Majesty really wants to attack Nanjiang, this line will be useful. If the two Li families can turn against each other, it will be easy to take back Shu County."

Having said that, Li Xin lowered his head and continued, "Even if we can't make these two families turn against each other, as long as there are some gaps between them, the difficulty of doing it in the future will be greatly reduced."

Emperor Chengde sneered: "These two families will survive if they unite, and die if they divide. It is impossible for them to go against each other on this kind of life and death issue."

Li Xin raised his head and glanced at the Son of Heaven, before lowering his voice: "Your Majesty, when I was kidnapped by those remnants of Southern Shu that day, no one from the Pingnan Army saw me. When I came back at night, Cheng Ping, the deputy general of the Pingnan Army As if he didn't realize it, but this Li Yan can clearly know that the minister went to see Li Xing, which means that the Marquis of Pingnan buried someone beside Li Xing."

"At the same time, it also shows that the two families are on guard against each other, and they are not completely of the same mind."

"Besides, as far as I know, when Li Zhijie, Marquis of Pingnan, destroyed Nanshu, he killed the royal family of Nanshu. This is a great enmity that cannot be erased. .”

Emperor Chengde frowned and thought for a moment, and finally showed a faint smile: "I have to say, your mouth is very powerful, and I was persuaded by you again."

"Get up and talk."

Li Xin stood up, bent over to the Emperor Chengde, and said, "Your Majesty, if you want to separate the two families, you need some capital in your hands. If the Li family in Nanshu is willing to surrender to Jin, what kind of money can your Majesty give?" the benefits of?"

The Emperor Chengde showed a smile on his face: "I can give the Li family of Nanshu a hereditary duke."

There is only one good tradition in Zhuxia, that is, rise and fall continue to die.

In Li Xin's world, during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, there was no such thing as destroying a country. Even if a country perished, the victor would support a clan to inherit the country again, and even help him rebuild the state.

Although this fine tradition has gradually disappeared, it has not completely disappeared. For example, for the subjugated monarchs, they will still be given titles such as princes on the surface, and give them preferential treatment as much as possible.

This tradition is the same in this world, except that when Nanshu destroyed the country, the form of southern Xinjiang was more complicated. The royal family of Nanshu was killed by Li Zhijie in one go. What kind of preferential treatment does Dajin get here?

Therefore, the Duke given by the Emperor Chengde is not very surprising.

After His Majesty the Emperor finished speaking, he added another sentence lightly: "But I also have my conditions."

Talking about cooperation naturally requires both parties to benefit, and the Emperor Chengde still knows this in his heart.

Li Xin lowered his head and said, "Your Majesty, please tell me."

His Majesty the Emperor narrowed his eyes and smiled, "I don't need a Nanshu Li family with sound hands and feet. The Li family can come to the capital to be the Duke of the state, but all the power in the Li family's hands must be handed over to me."

Li Xin took a deep breath and said with a wry smile: "Those Shu people are quite stubborn. They only recognize the Southern Shu royal family, so they might not be able to serve our Great Jin."

"Then let them die."

Chengde Emperor's voice was harsh: "[-]% to [-]% if you don't die, this matter can't go on."

Li Xin took a deep breath, bent over and said, "I—I got it."

With that said, Li Xin was about to bend over and leave.

Emperor Chengde looked at Li Xin in his spare time, and said with a chuckle: "Leaving aside the matter of southern Xinjiang, I heard that you brought your two battalions of school captains to the north and killed many remnants of Can Zhou?"
