Unparalleled Concubine

This is a problem that must be solved, otherwise Emperor Taikang will not look good when this matter is remembered in the history books in the future.

The Son of Heaven coughed, and said, "Chang'an, the imperial court cannot learn from the unknown, but the Yuwen tribes have not done any evil in the past few decades. How should we solve this problem?"

Lord Jing'an has been thinking about the Northern Expedition for several years. He has naturally thought about this question. Hearing this, he answered without hesitation. Just create some evil."

The emperor glanced at Li Xin and said with a smile, "What does Chang'an mean?"

Li Xin smiled and said: "I have been paying attention to the situation in the north for the past few years. The four departments of Yuwen have been fighting with each other for decades. In recent years, there has been no major conflict. It can be seen that they have reached some tacit agreement, so they will Someone unified the four divisions of Yuwen. In the near future, this situation will not pose any threat to the imperial court, but as time goes by, the divisions of Yuwen will inevitably grow stronger and become the Ministry of Yuwen. Again, at this time, the imperial court's conquest of the Yuwen Department is not doing unrighteous things, but planning for a rainy day."

The word "benevolence" is certainly the best word in the world, but this word can be used to educate all people, so that all people in the world can be good people and do good deeds, but this word can never be used to govern the country, Li The Central Plains dynasty that believed in that world was more or less tired of this word.

The alien races in the north were severely injured, and even dispersed, the Central Plains Dynasty no longer took advantage of the victory to pursue them, and they would not even take advantage of the danger, so they left them in the north. After decades, they would become evil wolves again. If the national strength of the Central Plains dynasty is weak, it will become a serious problem.

"Taking advantage of others' danger" should be the basic skill of every politician, but the officials in the Confucian dynasty are very familiar with using this trick for their own people, but rarely use it to deal with foreigners.

Speaking of this, Li Xin continued: "So, this time the Northern Expedition is very necessary. As for making the teacher famous, it is very easy. Your Majesty can send people to the north to attack Yunzhou City by pretending to be the various tribes of Yuwen. Whether it is pretending to be Yuwen tribes and looting the borders of my Dajin, these things are very simple, as long as the incident happens, my Dajin will become famous."

As long as you want to find trouble, it is very simple to find a reason to come out. This is the reason why a certain superpower in the future can even do evil everywhere under the guise of "human rights".

As long as your fist is big enough and your voice is loud enough, no one will dare to refute what you say.

The emperor's eyes lit up, he clapped his hands and said with a smile: "You still have the means in Chang'an, I understand how to do this matter."

Lord Jing'an lowered his head and said, "This minister is in charge."

After the two talked about Yunzhou City for a while, Li Xin exited Weiyang Palace and left the imperial city.

After Li Xin withdrew, the emperor's eyes were still a little hot. After all, Li Xin's words just now helped him solve the last two problems of Beizheng.

That is the actual reason for the Northern Expedition, and the apparent reason.

Li Xin has already given these two reasons.

The Son of Heaven took a deep breath, and said, "For the system, I want to issue an edict to Zhong Xuantong."

........................

Li Xin, who returned to Jing'anhou Mansion, only rested for about an hour, and a family member came to report, saying that it was the eldest son of the Zhong family who asked to see him.

Li Xin has always attached great importance to the Zhong family, not to mention the size problem, but in terms of friendship alone, the Zhong family has a good relationship with him. After all, Li Xin's saber green pheasant is still the Zhong family. The Patriarch gave him a gift of Xuantong.

Counting the time, that old man never returned to Beijing after he left the capital in the first year of Taikang, and they hadn't seen each other for seven or eight years.

When Zhong Heng came, Li Xin immediately changed into his normal clothes, and met the young master Zhong in the living room.

After Zhong Heng saw Li Xin, he bowed his hands in a respectful manner: "I'm an official, Zhong Heng, I've met Lord Li."

Chong Heng is now the Chief Soldier of the Imperial City Army Masi, and should have been at the fourth rank, but because of his family background, he was mentioned as the third rank, but the errand is still the chief soldier's errand.

This grade, at the age of just 30 years old, is already extremely prominent, but in front of the somewhat unreasonable Marquis of Jing'an, the grade of Zhongheng is still not enough, so he behaves well in officialdom.

Li Xin tugged at his sleeve, and said with a smile: "What is Zhong Shao doing? Our two families have a good friendship, so there is no need to perform official etiquette."

Zhong Heng nodded, and under Li Xin's influence, he sat down on the chair in the living room, and then he lowered his head and said, "Master Hou, I just received an imperial edict from the palace, which said that I should escort the soldiers from the Ministry of War. Ordnance, sent to Yunzhou City..."

Li Xin smiled and said: "Isn't this a good thing, Mr. Zhong hasn't been to Yunzhou City for a long time, so I just happened to go to see old General Zhong."

Zhong Heng said with a smile: "It is indeed a good thing, but the imperial decree said that this batch of ordnance should be taken from the Jing'an Hou Mansion, and people from the Yulinwei Youying camp should be escorted, so I was a little bit guilty. Thinking that I'm going to come to Lord Hou's mansion to pick up things anyway, why don't I come and visit first, so as not to bring someone over tomorrow would be a bit abrupt."

"The things are all on the street at the back door of my house. The people from Habayashi Guard are still watching. Mr. Zhong will come over tomorrow, just go and collect them."

The two of them were talking, and the family members of the Jing'an Hou Mansion had already served tea to Zhong Heng. After taking a sip of the tea, the young master Zhong hesitated, and said, "To be honest, I have something to ask the Hou Ye. "

Li Xin squinted his eyes and smiled, "Just say what you say."

"Then I'll say it straight."

Zhong Heng let out a sigh of relief and asked, "I read the list of the Ministry of War. The imperial court...suddenly sent so many things to Yunzhou. I don't know what the intention is...?"

Chapter 688

In fact, this question should not be asked by Zhong Heng, because since the emperor wants to do this, he will naturally tell the family what he wants to do, that is to say, the emperor will send an edict to Yunzhou City, clearly the court's intentions.

At that time, Zhong Xuantong will naturally understand how to do it. As for the young master Zhong in front of him, he is actually just a delivery man. The reason why he was chosen to deliver the goods is because there is no one more suitable in the capital.

After hearing the question of Zhongheng, Li Xin smiled lightly: "Why don't you be anxious when you are young, when you arrive in Yunzhou City, Shuai Zhong will naturally tell you the matter."

Zhong Heng let out a breath slowly, and said, "I know it's not convenient for Master Li to say it, but I'm talking too much."

Indeed, he was talking too much.

This kind of matter, when Li Xin talks to the emperor, he can chat freely, but when it is enlarged to the national level, because it involves the emperor, this is actually a national decision at the highest level, and it is a national decision that has not been fully finalized.

This kind of thing cannot be talked about with a big tongue. Even if Li Xin can bear the consequences, if he talks too much, he may not be able to touch this kind of decision-making at the national level in the future.

However, the Chong family is not easy to offend. Lord Jing'an smiled and said: "After Mr. Zhong delivers the things to Yunzhou City, everything will be settled. I won't tell you too much at this time. It’s because some things have not been confirmed yet, maybe it will change in a few days, if I’m wrong, Young Master Zhong will accuse me of lying.”

Zhong Heng lowered his head slightly.

"Mr. Li is too polite. You are the crown prince and the treasurer, and you are also the Minister of the Ministry of War. There is no reason to lie to me, the little chief soldier."

"It's meaningless to be promoted to an official position."

Lord Jing'an smiled casually: "Mr. Zhong also knows that I have been idle at home for the past few years. I haven't managed much, and my official position is just a name. In real terms, I haven't lost the rank of the chief soldier of the army and horse division." Great power."

"Master Li is polite."

Zhong Heng stood up, lowered his head, and said, "Master Li, I want to see the ordnance in the Ministry of War. I don't know if it's convenient."

Zhong Heng also went to Yunzhou City to serve as a soldier when he was 16 years old. It was not until a few years ago that Zhong Xuantong sent him back to the capital and asked him to be a military officer in the capital. Very interested.

Li Xin stood up briskly, nodded and said: "The quality of the weapons made by the Military Weapons Supervisor this time is very good. I have already inspected them, so let's take a look at them."

After saying this, Li Xin got up, put his hands in the sleeves in front of him, Zhong Heng also followed the example of Lord Jing'an, and the two of them walked in the mansion of Hou Jing'an one after the other.

After a while, Young Master Zhong expressed emotion.

"Master Hou's house is really eye-opening. It's much more magnificent than my family's house in the capital."

Master Li shook his head slightly: "It's also picking up someone else's old house. To be honest, I haven't visited this house until today. It's not a good thing if the house is too big. Walking from the front door to the back door is a chore. "

Zhong Heng smiled.

"If Master Li said these words, many people in the capital will be bumped into pillars."

No matter what era it is, it is not easy to own a house in the capital. When Li Xin came to this world at the beginning of the year, if there was no help from His Royal Highness King Wei, if he was busy selling carbon in the Deyi Building, at least he would have It will take two or three years before it is possible to buy a small house in Datongfang.

As for the house in Yonglefang, money can't buy it.
