Unparalleled Concubine

During this period of time, Li Xin didn't deal with state affairs much, so he didn't enter the palace much. Counting the time, the two of them hadn't seen each other for more than ten days.

The warm hall was as warm as spring, and as soon as Li Xin walked in, the cold all over his body was dispelled.

Seeing Li Xin walking in, the Son of Heaven, who was sitting not far from the stove, waved to him.

"Chang'an, come here quickly."

Li Xin walked over with his hands down, saluted, and sat down opposite the emperor.

The two of them don't have too many etiquette rules in private, it's not that Li Xin doesn't know how to behave, it's because they are two "friends" who used to have a good time drinking and chatting, if they suddenly become more "proper" and have a lot of life, it will cause the emperor's anger wary.

Because it's not normal.

After sitting down, the emperor put the two memorials by Li Xin's hand and sighed.

"This one was delivered last night, and the other was delivered this morning. Chang'an, take a look."

Li Xin nodded respectfully, and then stretched out his hands to unfold the two memorials.

The first one was written by Ye Mao.

Well, it can be seen that it is Zhao Jia's handwriting.

The content is very simple. On the banks of the Weishui River, the forbidden army was ordered to stop all the Northern Zhou family. The two sides clashed. The Northern Zhou family suffered more than [-] casualties, while the forbidden army only injured dozens and died less than ten people.

Afterwards, all the clans of the Northern Zhou Dynasty surrendered, as long as some members of the Lu clan of Fan Yang escaped, Ye Mao was now escorting nearly ten thousand "imperials" on his way back to Beijing.

After seeing Li Xin finished reading the memorial, the Son of Heaven sighed helplessly.

"Look in Chang'an, people from the Ye family don't dare to kill people."

"He came back with close to 1 people in one breath. The Jingzhao Mansion prison and the Criminal Ministry prison in the capital couldn't be filled together. Ye Mao brought them to the capital. I still want to kill them, otherwise even one of them will be resettled." There is no place."

Li Xin bowed his head and said: "Your Majesty, Ye Mao is not a cowardly person who dare not kill people. He should have his own reasons for doing so. After he returns to Beijing, His Majesty will find out after asking."

"As for these "captives."

Li Xin smiled and said: "Doesn't Your Majesty have Huangzhuang? The minister's family has also confirmed that if His Majesty does not impose the death penalty on them, just let them go to labor reform. The capital is so big, there is always a place to put them. .”

Every nobleman has his own private property, and as the largest nobleman, the emperor is no exception. Ji's family has five or six imperial estates near the capital, covering a huge area, which is the private property of the emperor's family.

It was the first time for Emperor Taikang to hear the concept of "reform through labor". He shook his head and said nothing, but pointed to another memorial and said, "Chang'an, read the second copy."

Li Xin started the second copy according to his words.

With just one glance, Lord Jing'an's expression changed.

The General's Mansion of Pingnan in Southern Xinjiang raised the banner that today's son disobeyed the late emperor's edict, seized the throne, killed his father and brother, and persecuted his own flesh and blood. Dajin has a bright future!

This is only part of it.

Li Xin took a deep breath and slowly closed his eyes.

It seems that Li Shen has arrived in southern Xinjiang.

Chapter 454

The previous memorandum only described Ye Mao's actions. Generally speaking, although it was somewhat different from what was expected before, it was not beyond Li Xin's expectations. After this battle, the Northern Zhou family would completely decline.

But the second memorial shows that Li Shen really raised the flag to rebel.

He has already played the name of the abolished prince and started to formally fight the court.

This is no different from declaring war.

After reading it for a while, Li Xin put down the memorandum in his hand, and said, "Your Majesty, the Pingnan Army has left Shu?"

"not sure."

Emperor Taikang looked solemn, and said in a low voice: "At least when this memorial was sent to the capital, the Pingnan Army hadn't moved yet. I will not know what will happen after that until the information comes in one after another."

Li Xin lowered his head to calculate, and then said: "Your Majesty, I think that the Pingnan Army will not leave Shu easily. We don't need to panic for now. Even if they leave Shu, the imperial court will have enough time to react. Let's just wait for a few days. Follow up with the news from Southern Xinjiang, and then make a decision."

A smile appeared on the emperor's face.

"What I mean is, first send two Zhechong Mansions to the border of Shu County to watch. In this way, we will have the upper hand. Regardless of whether they can leave Shu County, these two Zhechong Mansions will become crucial. If they go out of Shu, these two Zhechong mansions can hold them back, and if they don't come out, they can also keep an eye on them."

Li Xin thought for a while, then nodded and said, "Your Majesty is wise."

In fact, the idea of ​​Emperor Taikang is very dangerous, because there are too few and too many people in the two Zhechong mansions.

If it is discovered by Nanjiang that there are two Zhechong mansions in front of their house, Li Shen might get angry and eat these two Zhechong mansions in one go. This will boost morale, and secondly, he can also tell the world that Nanjiang It's amazing.

However, at such a critical point, Li Xin was unwilling to slap the young emperor in the face, so he simply followed his words.

"Then Chang'an thinks, who is the right person to send?"

Li Xin blinked his eyes and said in a low voice: "No matter who it is, I think that no one should come out from the right camp of the Forbidden Army. General Hou has controlled the left camp of the Forbidden Army for a little longer than the minister. , should come from the left battalion of the Forbidden Army."

"As for who to send there, His Majesty is arbitrary, and I dare not comment."

Although the Right Battalion of the Forbidden Army was only Li Xin's temporary replacement, he was born with a protective personality, and it was impossible for him to watch his subordinates take risks.

For a job like intercepting and killing the Northern Zhou family, if you go to kill a hundred times, Li Xin is naturally willing to send someone out, but if there is a dangerous job, then thank you.

The Son of Heaven nodded, and said: "Well, I will wait and see for two more days, and then I will let Hou Jingde transfer two Zhechong mansions from his hands to go to the southwest."

Li Xin got up, bowed his head slightly and said: "Since Your Majesty has transferred General Ye to fight in the southwest, it is best to call him to discuss this matter. If you only tell the minister, then implement it. General Ye knows, maybe There will be grudges in my heart."

Li Xin can see that there is danger, so Ye Ming can naturally, if Ye Ming can persuade the emperor, then there is no need for Li Xin to be this villain.

"That's the truth."

The emperor nodded and said: "I will call Ye Shaobao into the palace to discuss and discuss later."

Li Xin lowered his head and said, "I have one more thing."

"Say."

The Marquis of Jing'an bowed his head and said, "Your Majesty, Li Shen is now causing trouble in southern Xinjiang, but Li Shen's funeral in the capital has already been completed, so His Majesty can issue an edict to announce to the world that Li Shen, Marquis of Pingnan, has died in the capital. The one in Xinjiang is a fake, let the Pingnan Army in southern Xinjiang not be fooled by the fake Li Shen, and surrender to the court voluntarily."

The emperor smiled bitterly and said, "I'm afraid it won't work."

Li Xin chuckled: "It's somewhat useful, and this edict is not only for the Pingnan Army, but also for the people of the world. There will be so much help."

The emperor frowned and thought for a while, then nodded and said: "That's the reason, I asked Shang Shutai to draft a copy immediately."

After he finished speaking, he patted Li Xin on the shoulder again, his tone low.
