Unparalleled Concubine

The Li family of Marquis Pingnan secretly turned the Pingnan army into the Li family army. Because of this, Southwest fought openly and secretly with the imperial court for decades, and finally the Pingnan army "disappeared in ashes".

However, the Yunzhou Army in Yunzhou is indeed a veritable family army!

The main body of the Zhong family is not even in the capital, their patriarch, direct descendants, and family members are all in Yunzhou!

After more than 100 years, the number of family members in Yunzhou has exceeded 2000. The Yunzhou Army in Yunzhou City is definitely the army that listens to the family first and then the court. Even so, the court still maintains a high degree of trust in the family. At the end of the Chengde Dynasty, when the Emperor Chengde encountered danger in the country, his choice was to transfer Zhong Xuantong back to the capital, take control of half of the imperial army, and stabilize the court.

This is a rare kind of trust. If the Ji family has half the trust in the Li Ye family and the Zhong family, the Jin military will definitely not be in the current situation, but a different look.

The Son of Heaven sat in his seat, bowed his head and thought for a while, then looked up at Li Xin.

"Let's... send people from the Yunzhou Army to try out the various tribes of Yuwen."

Li Xin got up and bowed his head deeply to the emperor.

"Your Majesty Shengming."

It can be said that it is the best choice to use Zhong family members to test the Yuwen tribes. First of all, there has been no war in Yunzhou for decades. How much combat power does the Yunzhou Army have now?

However, using the words of the Yunzhou Army first means that when the subsequent fight really starts, it is very likely that the Ye Family's Zhenbei Army will go to the hard nuts.

Speaking of this, Emperor Taikang also has a lot to sort out. He took a deep breath and said: "This matter is here today. In the next few days, I will call Zaifu and people from the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion to discuss it carefully. , once they come up with a charter, I will talk to Chang'an again."

Li Xin nodded and said: "The minister is waiting at home."

The emperor got up, walked in front of Li Xin, patted him on the shoulder, and said: "In the past few days, I will talk to the Ministry of Accounts and allocate some money to the Ministry of War. After the Ministry of War receives the money, it will prepare a batch of armor and arrows. Shi, buy another batch of Zhurong wine and send them to Yunzhou City together."

Li Xin was stunned for a moment, and then smiled wryly: "Your Majesty, your Majesty can arrange for armor and arrows to be sent directly to the Military Weapons Supervisor. I just need to send someone from the Ministry of War to inspect them. As for Zhu Rongjiu, it can also be done by Your Majesty's Wine Division. There is no problem with the wine from the Wine Master, just send it to the Ministry of War..."

The emperor shook his head and said with a smile: "Chang'an, you have been idle for several months, and you must be asked to do some things, right? You do these things yourself, so I can rest assured that you do things. Leave it to others. The Ministry of Household Affairs The allocated money will be reduced by at least half.”

The corruption of ink in the officialdom, from the emperor to the people, is actually well known in the heart. After all, this kind of thing is right in front of you. No one can say that they are blind, but when the water is clear, there will be no fish. When things do not step on the red line, you can only pretend to be blind when you see it, otherwise you will not be able to get things done.

Li Xin smiled wryly at the emperor: "Even if I'm not greedy, I can't let others have nothing to do. Otherwise, no one is willing to do things for me, and nothing can be done."

The emperor couldn't help but laugh.

"Those people can do as long as they don't go too far, you can do it."

Li Xin lowered his head and cupped his fists: "I will do my best."

………………

After leaving Weiyang Palace, Li Xin went to Kunde Palace again, and brought his son back from his mother-in-law. When parting, the Empress Dowager still looked reluctant, and wanted to keep little Li Ping in the palace for a few more days. My God, but the child cannot live without a mother. In the end, with Li Xin's insistence, the child was successfully released from the palace.

Li Xin brought Cui'er and Hui Niang back to Jing'an Hou Mansion with the child in their arms. After entering the bedroom, the eldest princess hurriedly hugged the child into her arms, and looked at Li Xin with a bit of displeasure: " Why did it take so long to come back after entering the palace, and Ping'er was only born three or four days ago, how could he stand up to such a toss?"

Li Xin said with some helplessness: "I'm just about to kowtow to the empress dowager, she wants to hurt her grandson, what can my son-in-law do?"

Speaking of the queen mother, the eldest princess lost her temper. She lifted the corner of her clothes and began to feed her little son. While breastfeeding, she said to Gene: "There is a man from the south who wants to see you. He is waiting at our house." It's been an afternoon, and it should be arranged in the wing room now, do you want to go and have a look?"

"People from the south?"

Li Xin was taking off his court clothes and changing into casual clothes, when he heard this, he frowned and asked, "Who is it?"

"I don't know. It's just that he came from Hanzhou Mansion. His surname is Mu. I thought Mu Ying was over there. You should meet him, so you didn't drive him out."

Li Xin nodded and smiled at the eldest princess.

"Then you wait here for me, and I'll go see him."

As he spoke, Li Xin had already changed into his casual clothes. He tidied up his clothes, walked out of the bedroom, and walked towards the living room where the guests were received. After arriving in the living room, he sat in the main seat and asked Chen Shiliu to take the The person surnamed Mu brought it here.

After a while, a man who looked about 30 years old walked into the living room respectfully, and bowed his head respectfully to Li Xin: "Mu's family, Mu Zhu, have met Lord Li."

Li Xin smiled at him, and said, "You're welcome, let's sit down and talk."

Mu Zhu took out a letter from his sleeve, held it in his hand, and said, "By the order of the Patriarch, I'm here to send a letter to Marquis Li."

Mu Ying had taken over the position of the head of the Mu family a few years ago, and this letter was sent by Mu Ying.

At this time, the Marquis of Jing'an was a little puzzled. According to the agreement between him and Mu Ying, the letters between the two of them in the past few years were delivered by Li Xin's Habayashi Guard who stayed in Hanzhou. Mu Ying did not use Habayashi Guard, but the Mu family.

Li Xing asked Chen Shiliu to take the letter, took a look at the letter in his hand, and after confirming that it was Mu Ying's handwriting, he looked up at Mu Zhu in front of him, and said with a smile: "How are Uncle Mu and Brother Mu? "

Mu Zhu bowed his head respectfully: "The owner and the old man are both well, thank you Lord Hou for your concern."

Li Xin nodded, stretched out his hand to open the letter, first glanced at the seal underneath, and then briefly glanced at the content, his expression became serious.

The content of the letter is very simple. First, I greeted the eldest princess, asked a few words about whether the eldest princess was born, and then briefly talked about some major and minor matters in Hanzhou Prefecture.

Finally, Mu Yingcai said something very important.

His Highness Li Xing, the former Southern Shu adherent, "escaped" from the Hanzhou government a few days ago. If there is no accident, this Li Xing should have come to the capital.

Seeing this, Li Xin looked slightly solemn.

He took a deep breath and murmured to himself.

"It's a good day, but what are you running around..."

Chapter 655 Li Xin's Hand Hiding in the Dark (Wish you all a Happy Year of the Rat!!)

Li Xing's identity has always been very sensitive. In the past, he was a descendant of the Nanshu royal family and a "spiritual leader" who could unite the Nanshu survivors. Even when Li Xin wanted to attack the Southwest, he had to pass This Li Xing was able to gather 5 survivors from Southern Shu to form an army of [-] in Hanzhou City.

Therefore, Li Xing has always been very important to Hanzhou.

But this was five years ago. Today, five years later, Li Xing's status has changed from "sensitive" to "embarrassing". Muying in Hanzhou Prefecture no longer needs him to bring the fifty thousand Hanzhou Army, and Li Xin no longer needs this ally who only has a name.

And he is actually of little use to the imperial court. The reason is very simple. If the survivors of Southern Shu do not have this Li Xing, they will become under the rule of Mu Ying, the general of Hanzhou in the Great Jin Dynasty. The people of the Jin Dynasty, and the so-called His Royal Highness of the old dynasty, should have been left in the dust long ago.

Because of this reason, Li Xing's situation in Hanzhou has become more and more embarrassing in recent years, even to the point where no one cares about him, that is, Mu Qing and those who have stayed in the old Nanshu will still maintain a certain degree of respect for him respect.

But although this person is irrelevant now, he cannot be said to be gone, he must be under the control of Li Xin or Mu Ying.

Because of his identity, some other troubles will arise.

Thinking of this, Li Xin looked at the Mu family in front of him, frowned and said, "When did Li Xing leave Hanzhou Prefecture? How can you be sure that he has come to the capital?"

Mu Zhu bowed his head respectfully, cupped his fists and said, "Back to Lord Hou, someone in Hanzhou city helped him...Leave, and left Hanzhou mansion in about [-] years. The person who followed him to leave was found by us, and we probably found out that he was going to the capital."

"If he didn't delay on the way, he should have been in the capital for a while now."

The Mu Zhu in front of him no longer called Li Xing "His Royal Highness", but directly called him "he". How can I be in awe of Li Xing?

But Li Xing's identity is there after all. Although he handed over power in the Hanzhou government, his influence is still there after all, and there are still some people who have been supporting him. It may not be realistic for this part of people to usurp power, but They helped Li Xing escape from Hanzhou Mansion, but it was not difficult.

Thinking of this, Li Xin nodded slightly, and said in a deep voice, "Since that's the case, the Marquis knows."
