Unparalleled Concubine

Li Xin took a deep breath and said, "If Li Shen really escapes, Your Majesty will prepare to fight. I guess I will have to stay in the capital for a while."

"If anything happens, just let me know."

"Brother Mu, let's go."

Chapter 428: Lifting the Tablecloth

Originally, Li Xin's work in the Right Battalion of the Forbidden Army had already been laid out in an orderly manner. Given him a month or two, the Right Battalion of the Forbidden Army would be firmly in his hands, but Emperor Taikang summoned him , he had to go, so he had no choice but to put the matter here first.

after all……

There may be a war.

If Li Shen really escaped from the capital, then the time for a full-scale war between the two sides will not be far away. It is impossible for the Southern Border side to wait for Emperor Taikang to secure the throne before starting.

Only at this time, when the succession is unclear, and the new emperor will ascend the throne, can the deposed prince ascend the throne, can he rise to power at this time.

So when the news of Li Shen's appearance in southern Xinjiang reached the capital, Emperor Taikang was already preparing to fight, and immediately called Li Xin back to the capital.

Li Xin only brought a team of about ten personal guards, and Mu Ying was a little behind Li Xin on horseback. Both of them didn't run on their horses, they could only be said to be on foot, because they had something to discuss.

"Brother Mu, I need accurate news from Nanjiang."

Mu Ying lowered her head slightly: "Master Hou, don't worry, I wrote to my father yesterday, asking him to help find out whether Li Shen is in Shu County or not."

Jing'anhou smiled gratifiedly: "Brother Mu is much smarter now than before."

The black-faced man smiled wryly and said: "The lowly position has been in the capital for more than a year, and the people in this capital are very dirty, even those who are not smart and lowly can't hold this general."

As he said that, he winked his eyes and said with a smile: "Besides, I learned a little from staying with Master Hou."

Li Xin gave him a blank look.

"Don't talk nonsense, in this capital, the heart of only a few of you is the cleanest."

"Thank you, how is it?"

"I don't work at Habayashi Guard anymore."

Mu Ying lowered her head and said: "Since Lord Hou beat him last time, he hasn't been to Habayashi Guard, and he hasn't heard anything for more than half a month. A few days ago, I heard that he went to Qianniu Guard, and took the position of a young man. But it's not confirmed yet."

After all, Habayashi Guard is not an intelligence organization like Tianmujian, and Mu Ying doesn't hear much news every day, so he is not sure about what he says.

Li Xin nodded with a smile: "It should be almost the same. Zhong Heng can't take Qianniuwei. At first, I wondered if the little prince could compete for this position. Now it seems that our Majesty still trusts him more." Some of my brother-in-laws."

"Everyone will believe in their own people."

Mu Ying muttered softly: "It's a pity that Master Hou doesn't like my sister."

Li Xin looked at him with a dark face.

"Your sister hasn't returned to southern Xinjiang yet?"

"No, her father won't let her go back, and she is having fun in the capital again, which is much richer than Shu County."

Li Xin shook his head, and said in a deep voice: "When you go back, you should also prepare, our brothers may go to Sichuan together."

Mu Ying grinned: "It's a pity that Habayashi Wei can't take it with him."

"At that time, I will try my best to get you to bring a Captain's battalion there."

A captain's battalion of Habayashi Guard has [-] people, which is probably the limit number of people Li Xin can take out from Habayashi Guard.

"Have it."

………………

In Weiyang Palace, the young Emperor Taikang looked dignified, with a hint of sadness.

Li Xin came in with his hands down, knelt down and saluted.

"Your Majesty, Li Xin, kowtow to Your Majesty."

Emperor Taikang recovered from his contemplation, quickly helped Li Xin up with his own hands, and sighed slowly: "Chang'an, what are you doing? I haven't seen you for a while. How did you become famous?"

Li Xin stood up and said with a smile, "Courtesy cannot be discarded."

The emperor pulled him, sat down in Weiyang Palace, and asked: "How is the imperial army?"

Li Xin was still smiling.

"Now that General Pei is visiting the Forbidden Army in person, he can't command anymore. Your Majesty can rest assured."

Emperor Taikang breathed a sigh of relief, and said in a low voice, "You know about Li Shen?"

Li Xin nodded and said, "I have heard a little bit about it."

"What do you think?"

"I feel that Li Shen may not have really left Beijing."

After a pause, Li Xin continued: "Your Majesty has received news from Shu County, but this news may not be true. It may also be deliberately released by Shu County to confuse people's attention. The real chance for Li Shen to escape."

While the two were talking, Xiao Zheng served Li Xin a cup of tea.

The emperor frowned and said: "I also have this idea, but I am not afraid of ten thousand, just in case, if Li Shen really escapes, then the war is inevitable, and I have to be prepared."

Li Xin said with a smile: "It's not a bad thing to be prepared. When His Majesty makes all the preparations, even if there is no rebellion in southern Xinjiang, the court can take the initiative to attack the non-officials."

The emperor finally showed a smile on his face.

"Those who know me, Chang'an, I also have the same thoughts. I have already asked the household department to start raising food and grass, and your imperial army is also ready for the western expedition. When everything is ready, I will consider taking action against southern Xinjiang. As long as you get it back Nanjiang can be settled once and for all, and my Taikang Dynasty will not have any serious troubles within ten years!"

"Your Majesty is wise."

At this time, it is time to flatter or to flatter.

After Li Xin flattered him, he continued: "As for whether Li Shen is in the capital, I have an idea, Your Majesty might as well give it a try."

"Chang'an just said it."

Li Xin said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, the eight gates of the capital have been closed for more than a month. If they are closed again, it may cause panic. I think it is better to open the gates."

The emperor frowned and said nothing.

Li Xin continued: "As for Li Shen, Zhonglang Zhong discovered two corpses of a man and a woman in the Marquis of Pingnan earlier, intending to get away with it. Your Majesty might as well use his plan and directly declare that these two corpses are Li Shen, Marquis of Pingnan. And his wife, and give them a nice funeral."

Although Li Shen was identified as a traitor in the court, in fact he was not convicted. Until Pingnanhou was not in trouble, he was still the court's general of Zhuguo, Minister of the Ministry of War, and an extremely human minister. No matter how glorious and grand this status is, it is not too much.
