Unparalleled Concubine

Lord Jing'an lowered his head and said: "Your Majesty, forgive me. On the spur of the moment, I let Ye Mao temporarily lead the Northern Army, and set off to come back by myself. I thought that riding back would be about the same speed as delivering a letter, so I didn't send it to the capital." letter."

As he said that, he said in a deep voice: "I have received the emperor's favor, and I have been named the Great General of Zhenbei. I should sit in the north and should not leave my post without authorization. Please forgive me."

Emperor Taikang sat up from the dragon chair and walked a few steps. While walking, he looked at Li Xin and Li Changan who were kneeling on the ground in front of him, feeling both familiar and unfamiliar.

"What do you want to say about Southwest?"

The emperor thought for a long time, and found that he couldn't find anything wrong with Li Xin, so he went straight to the point.

Li Xin looked up at the emperor, and said in astonishment, "Your Majesty, what's going on in the southwest?"

Emperor Taikang patted the table angrily.

"To this day, you are still pretending to be stupid with me!"

"Do you think I'm a fool?"

Li Xin took a deep breath, and said: "Your Majesty, forgive me, I really don't know what happened in the southwest, please tell me clearly."

The emperor was expressionless.

"That brother of yours, Mu Ying, led an army to rebel."

"Is there such a thing?"

The Hou Ye of Jing'an was shocked, and he lost his voice: "I know Mu Ying well, he is not the kind of rebellious person, is there some misunderstanding..."

The emperor said coldly: "Muying blatantly killed the imperial army, do you still want to favor him?"

Li Xin shook his head again and again, and said with a wry smile: "Your Majesty misunderstood, the minister is just discussing the matter, and His Majesty's eloquent words are naturally not wrong. I didn't expect Mu Ying to violate the court's sacred grace and do such an outrageous thing."

Speaking of this, he sighed: "No wonder I returned to Beijing yesterday and found that my home was surrounded by guards. It turned out that it was because of this incident. When Mu Ying was in the capital, he was indeed old with me. Since he rebelled, then The minister can't get away from it."

Lord Jing'an bowed his head and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, I have absolutely no communication with the Southwest rebels. If Your Majesty doesn't believe me, please take [-] forbidden troops to the south, and I can issue a military order. At most four months, I will be able to break through." Mu thief's Hanzhou City, take this fellow to the capital for questioning!"

Fifty thousand forbidden troops?

Emperor Taikang's eyelids twitched, and his heart was full of anger.

The [-] Hanzhou army has already given me a headache, and if I give you another [-] forbidden troops to take you to the southwest, will I still be able to sit on this dragon chair?

He was about to lose his temper when Li Xin, who was under the steps, seemed to think of something, bowed his head and said: "If your Majesty cannot trust me, I have nothing to say, please resign from the position of General Zhenbei, and no matter how the court punishes me, I am willing to accept the crime in Beijing. "

The emperor was silent.

Faced with Li Xin's rhetoric, he couldn't find anything to refute. After all, the court basically didn't have any evidence for Li Xin's going to the Southwest.

Even Li Xin's remote control of the Hanzhou Army was conjectured by the emperor. After knowing that Li Xin had killed Li Xing, the emperor was able to confirm it.

In other words, they didn't have any evidence that they could show that Li Xin had a direct connection with the Southwest Hanzhou Army.

Facing this set of rhetoric from Lord Jing'an, the emperor looked ugly, he waved his hand, and said in a deep voice, "Everyone back down!"

As soon as these words came out, Xiao Zheng immediately took all the palace people in the side hall, and retreated slowly, leaving only the two of them in this side hall. Before leaving, Xiao Zheng even closed the door of the side hall.

Because he knew very well that no matter whether it was the emperor or Li Xin, nothing they said could be passed on to the outside world.

"There is no flaw in this set of rhetoric."

The Son of Heaven walked up to Li Xin with his hands behind his back, squatted down, and asked indifferently, "Have you thought about Chang'an for a long time?"

"You are a thoughtful person, maybe what I will ask you at this time, you have imitated it in your heart."

Li Xin looked calm, and said, "I don't understand what your Majesty said."

"Mu Ying's crime of rebellion is unforgivable. I don't have any opinion on how the court should treat him. I did have friendship with him back then. Therefore, even if he is implicated, as long as it is not a capital crime, I will be willing."

Having said that, Li Xin looked up at the Son of Heaven and asked, "May I ask, Your Majesty, is there anything wrong with this subject?"

"You're still pretending to be stupid!"

After taking a few deep breaths, the emperor finally broke out completely.

"Don't think that I don't know. In the past five years, you have raised many people to inquire about the news for you. Even if you didn't participate in the affairs of Hanzhou, you should have known about it long ago. Now you are still pretending here!"

The Son of Heaven grabbed Li Xin's first-grade court uniform, and gritted his teeth: "Besides, Mu Ying of Hanzhou is yours, and the so-called Hanzhou Army under him was formed by you, Li Changan, right?"

Facing the emperor who was almost running away, Lord Jing'an looked calm. He took a deep breath, bowed his head and said, "Your Majesty, if you want to commit a crime, there is no excuse."

"If you want to kill me, do it. I'm here, and I won't resist."

Seeing that the emperor did not speak, Li Xin continued: "Since the third year of Taikang, the minister returned from the Western Expedition, and has not left the capital. Your majesty said that the minister has remote control of Muying, not to mention whether there is or not. I would like to ask your majesty, the minister. What can I give Muying to control him remotely for five years?"

"If you have been a county magistrate for five years in any place, you will become an emperor, and some of them don't even recognize the documents of the court."

"In this world, who has been in charge of the army for five years and still recognizes someone who is thousands of miles away?"

The Son of Heaven looked at Li Xin coldly, and it wasn't until Li Xin finished speaking that he sneered and said, "You have sharp teeth, I can't beat you, but you and I know what you did behind your back!"

"I never thought of embarrassing you, but this time you made me too sad."

The Son of Heaven squatted beside Li Xin, almost speaking in Li Xin's ear.

"Five years ago, you were just like coaxing a child. You made up the story of Chunyang Zhenren to tell me, and then tell it to the world."

"It's ridiculous that I actually believed it."

Emperor Taikang was already very angry, he clenched his fist tightly, and wanted to give Li Xin a blow, but when he was about to strike, he felt some inexplicable fear in his heart, so he withdrew his hand back.

"Now, that real person Chunyang has finally appeared again."

The Son of Heaven threw the piece of pottery that Xiao Zheng had brought back from the southwest from the table in front of Li Xin.

"This is your Chunyang real person?"

"Five years!"

The Son of Heaven grabbed Li Xin by the front, gritted his teeth and said, "You lied to me for five years!"

"Now, you are using it to deal with my Dajin army!"

"Li Changan, Li Changan."

Emperor Taikang's face was distorted.

"How many things have you kept from me?"
