Unparalleled Concubine

Chapter 390 The old friend under the moonlight

Originally, Li Xin was not in a hurry to attack Pei Jin, but now he can't.

That Ping Nanhou was different from the villains in the TV series. He didn't give Emperor Taikang a chance to become stronger. Instead, he took advantage of the most vulnerable time of Emperor Taikang and started to attack directly.

No matter how much selfishness Li Xin has, but at least at this juncture, he and Emperor Taikang are both prosperous and harmless. Therefore, Li Xin must act as quickly as possible.

The emperor's face was very ugly.

He was silent for a while, then asked: "Chang'an, this Xingyang Zheng family..."

"Just send someone to watch it."

Li Xin hesitated for a moment, and said, "If your Majesty trusts me, I will hand over to the Marquis of Pingnan and the Tianmu Supervisor to deal with it. I will take time to look over there and try not to talk to Marquis Pingnan for the time being." However, the people from the Zheng family in Xingyang cannot be allowed to leave the capital.”

The emperor sighed.

"If I don't believe in Chang'an, there won't be any trustworthy people in the capital."

Emperor Taikang lowered his eyebrows and said, "The most important thing now is how to replace Pei Jin."

It's a headache at this time.

After all, for the past ten years or so, under Pei Jin's hands, the Imperial Army's overall situation has been positive.

More than 30 years ago, when Ye Cheng led troops to break through the Northern Zhou Dynasty, he led the Forbidden Army in the capital. However, after Ye Cheng handed over the military power, the combat effectiveness of the Forbidden Army plummeted. pick up.

Moreover, Pei Jin has never made any mistakes and is an upright person, so there is really no reason to criticize him.

Li Xin was silent for a while, and then slowly said: "Your Majesty, if we don't know what to do for a while, then we can only promote him first."

The position of General of the Forbidden Army is a military general of the second rank. From the perspective of leading troops, he is already the pinnacle of military generals. If he goes up, he can only go to the squadron to become an official.

The emperor's eyes lit up.

"Chang'an, you mean the Governor's Mansion?"

The Metropolitan Governor's Mansion is divided into the left and right governors, who are in charge of the world's military affairs, which is equivalent to the existence of the Privy Council, and the left and right governors are at least from the first rank, and can even be mentioned as the existence of the first rank.

Li Xin nodded and said: "I can only mention Pei Jin as the right governor of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion. In this way, with the left governor suppressing him, he will not make too many waves, and the imperial army can also be vacant."

As he said that, Li Xin said meaningfully: "Pei Jin has no weaknesses, but it is not difficult to find out the reasons for the two governors."

The emperor was overjoyed, nodded and said: "This matter will be done according to Chang'an's wishes. When I take the position of the right governor, I will immediately start to promote Pei Jin."

Li Xin squinted his eyes and smiled: "I just want to wrong Your Majesty and be this villain."

The Metropolitan Governor's Mansion is in charge of the most critical power of the imperial court to deploy troops. Therefore, the left and right governors of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion are either noble or clan. Now the two governors of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion are both surnamed Ji.

In terms of seniority, one is the uncle of Emperor Taikang and the other is his ancestor.

Emperor Taikang was a little stunned at first, and then he reacted, and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, I will bear the infamy."

Li Xin continued: "I have heard that there is still a rule in the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion that one cannot serve as a governor without a title, and General Pei still needs a title."

This is actually a bit difficult to do.

One cannot be awarded a title without martial arts. Although Pei Jin is capable, he has never been on the battlefield in a serious manner. Even if he wants to find an excuse to award him a title, it will not work.

The emperor hesitated for a while, then gritted his teeth.

"I don't care about these rules anymore, as long as I can hold the forbidden army in my hands, I will forcefully put Pei Jin in the position of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion."

The emperor said, patted Li Xin on the shoulder, and said in a deep voice: "Chang'an, this time, it's not much less serious than what happened in the twelfth lunar month last year. The only thing I can rely on now is you."

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I share weal and woe with Your Majesty, and I will do my best to share your Majesty's worries."

"it is good……"

Li Xin bowed and exited Weiyang Palace.

After leaving the palace gate, it was already evening, he didn't have time to go home, but went to the Habayashi Guard camp, deployed a school captain camp around Pingnanhou's mansion, and kept a close eye on Pingnanhou corner of the house.

Then he started to discuss with Dong Cheng and others, and let the Tianmu Supervisor start to investigate the two governors of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion.

After everything was done, the sky was completely dark, Li Xin came out from the Habayashi Guard camp, and walked on the street alone.

Chen Shiliu followed behind him and led the horse, ready to let Li Xin mount the horse, but Jing'an Hou shook his head and chose not to continue.

He bypassed Datongfang and came to the bank of Qinhuai River.

Today, on the banks of the Qinhuai River, Deyilou's business is still booming, even much more prosperous than before.

The boss of Deyilou has already been replaced by Li Xin.

After all, his former boss had already taken that high position and could no longer be associated with these dirty businesses. This business was given to Li Xin by the emperor.

It was said to be a gift, but it was exchanged for [-]% of Zhu Rongjiu's dry shares in Li Xin's hands. After careful calculation, it was really a loss to grandma's family.

Li Xin passed by Deyi Building without even looking at it, but walked straight by, walked into an alley in Qinhuai Square, turned around, and arrived at the gate of a small courtyard.

Li Xin knocked on the door slowly.

After a while, a girl of sixteen or seventeen timidly answered the door inside.

"Who is it?"

Li Xin chuckled: "Li Xin."

The girl hurriedly opened the door, saluted Li Xin and said, "Master Li."

Her name is Ping'er, and she is Cui Jiuniang's maid.

Li Xin smiled and said, "Is sister Cui asleep?"

"Not yet, the maidservant will call you here."

"it is good."

Li Xin stood neatly at the door and didn't go in.

After a while, Cui Jiuniang, who was dressed in a blue cloth, took off her heavy makeup and walked over. After seeing Li Xin, she looked a little complicated, and saluted, "Mr. Li."

Li Xin said respectfully, "Sister Cui."

Cui Jiuniang covered her mouth and smiled: "It's rare that Master Hou still calls me sister, come in and sit down."

Li Xin shook his head: "It's getting late, so I won't go in. This time I just came here to see if Sister Cui is doing well."
