Unparalleled Concubine

Li Xin sat on the left side of the head of the main hall, and smiled at Ye Mao.

"Why are you in such a hurry, you are already a lieutenant general of the first army, so you should be calmer."

"Can you not be in a hurry?"

Ye Mao smiled wryly and said: "In Jizhou City, Uncle Shi, the general of the Beibei Army, was assassinated. Our subordinates actually found out after the fact, and didn't know beforehand. , I'm going to hit my head to death..."

Lord Jing'an was smiling.

"I dare to live in Jizhou City, so I know what will happen, and they won't harm me."

After hearing Li Xin's words, Ye Mao gave Li Xin a weird look.

"Speaking of this, uncle, you only brought fifty generals out, and they were all guarding near the uncle's garden. How did you know, uncle, that there are assassins in Jizhou city?"

"And... my uncle was able to directly find the whereabouts of those assassins last night..."

Ye Mao looked at Li Xin with even more strange eyes.

Lord Jing'an was smiling.

"You don't know, when I was in Mianzhu City, I learned some divination techniques with Master Chunyang. Last night I watched the stars and saw the star of Pojun brightly. I knew that there was an imminent war, so I took precautions. "

The little father-in-law gave Li Xin a big white eye.

Just as he was about to make some complaints, Wang Tao, the general of Lord Jing'an's family, walked in with his head bowed, and cupped his fists at Li Xin.

"Master Hou, I've asked."

Chapter 733 Taikang Emperor's Means

The words are divided into two parts.

The Marquis of Jing'an in the north was just in contact with the various tribes of Yuwen, and when he was beginning to deal with it, in the capital thousands of miles away, Emperor Taikang passed a veteran who was over fifty years old into Weiyang Palace.

This person is none other than Pei Jin, the general of the Forbidden Army who has experienced ups and downs in the Taikang Dynasty.

Pei Jin was a person who was single-handedly promoted by Emperor Chengde. In the early years of Taikang, he still had many doubts about the succession of Emperor Taikang, so much so that from the end of the 18th year of Chengde to the first year of Taikang During the second half of the year, Emperor Taikang could not control the Imperial Army as he wished.

Later, it was Li Xin who came back from Yongzhou and used the old-fashioned method of ascending openly and surrendering secretly to drive the former General Pei to the second line.

But the feng shui turns.

After the Battle of Zhengxi, Li Xin became the one who needed to be feared, while Pei Jin became the sword in the hands of Emperor Taikang. Now the Marquis of Jing'an, who had made great contributions to the dragon, was bitterly fighting with Yuwen Zhu in the north. The ministers dealt with each other, and this General Pei still sat in the position of the General of the Forbidden Army. He became the only person who had been the General of the Forbidden Army in the two dynasties since the founding of the Jin Dynasty.

He even broke the old rule of one emperor and one courtier.

At this time, in the study room of Weiyang Palace, Pei Jin kneeled respectfully on the ground, touching his forehead to the ground.

"Chen Pei Jin, please greet Your Majesty."

It is obviously not easy for the people of the previous dynasty to gain the trust of the new emperor, but Pei Jin did it. Part of the reason why he was able to do it was because the Lord Jing'an became powerful too quickly, and the emperor It is necessary to find an opponent for Li Xin in the military.

Another part of the reason is that he knows current affairs and is qualified, so the emperor will use him.

The emperor sitting on the dragon chair looked at Pei Jin kneeling on the ground with a blank expression on his face.

The current emperor, when facing Li Xin, always smiles and is very easy-going. When Li Xin bows down to him, he will come to help him with his own hands, but in fact, he grew up with the emperor At home, he is not an easy-going person.

This is not a change after he ascended the throne. In fact, when he was the king of Wei, he was not easy-going.

This can be clearly seen from his attitude towards Cui Jiuniang.

At this time, facing Pei Jin, he is the emperor who is aloof, because he has a simple relationship with Pei Jin, not a complicated relationship with Li Xin.

Because Li Xin was kind to him, he had no choice but to put on airs.

The emperor closed the memorial book in his hand, and glanced at Pei Jin indifferently.

"General Pei stood up and spoke."

Pei Jin bowed his head to thank him, and slowly got up.

The emperor waved his hand, and Xiao Zheng moved a chair for Pei Jin with a wink. The general was trembling and dared not do it.

Emperor Taikang didn't force it, and squinted his eyes at his general, with a smile on his face: "I heard that General Pei's right camp of the Forbidden Army is not having a good time these days."

Pei Jin bowed his head and said: "I am terrified, the forbidden army is His Majesty's forbidden army, not my minister's forbidden army..."

"As for what His Majesty said is not easy..."

General Pei secretly gritted his teeth, and said with a wry smile: "These days, the adults in the Ministry of War have been targeting my forbidden army for some reason, and it's a bit uncomfortable..."

He offended the Ministry of War so hard that since that time, the Ministry of War has regarded him and even the Imperial Army as a thorn in the side. As long as they contact each other on weekdays, not only will they not look good, but they will also make things difficult.

The emperor laughed.

"It's Li Shangshu from the Ministry of War. He left a hole for you before he left, and you jumped in. However, I have already said hello to the Ministry of War, and I won't make things difficult for the imperial army anymore."

The Forbidden Army is the most powerful military force in Gyeonggi and one of the most powerful weapons of the Son of Heaven. Naturally, it is impossible for the Son of Heaven to watch the Ministry of War make things difficult for the "Sword of the Son of Heaven" in his hand.

Although Pei Jin hadn't figured out what was going on because of the unequal intelligence, he somehow understood who the people who cheated him were, and a trace of anger flashed in his eyes.

But soon, the words of the emperor left him no time to think about it.

"Pei Jin, I called you into the palace because I have a big matter for you to do."

Pei Jin knelt on the ground again, kowtowed and said: "Your Majesty has an order, and I will never refuse to die!"

The Son of Heaven returned to his desk, took an envelope from the desk, and delivered it to Pei Jin in person with a calm tone.

"This is the dispatching order of the Ministry of War, with Shangshutai's seal on it, as well as my jade seal."

"My secret decree is also in this envelope."

With trembling hands, Pei Jin took the envelope and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty..."

"From tomorrow onwards, you will stop working in the Forbidden Army. The affairs of the Forbidden Army will be handed over to Hou Jingde for the time being. You will take these things out of Beijing. I have an important matter for you to handle."

Pei Jin lowered his head and took a deep breath.

"My minister obeys."

"I don't know what His Majesty's important matter is..."

The emperor originally turned his back to Pei Jin, but after hearing his words, he turned around and squatted beside Pei Jin with an indifferent expression.

"I want to clean up the hidden dangers that were not cleared up in the Battle of the West five years ago."
