Unparalleled Concubine

Zhao Jia smiled wryly and said, "If I had been Lord Hou, I would have traveled as far as I could right now. Lord Hou, you still have the heart to practice swords and drink tea here, which is really admirable."

"If I can go, I will go."

Li Xin put the tea cup in his hand on the table, and said lightly: "It's so boring to work with this kind of emperor."

Zhao Jia bent down, poured a cup of tea for Li Xin, and asked, "How do you say that?"

Li Xin's face was calm, and he told Zhao Jia about what happened in the Southwest during this period, and what happened after he returned to Beijing. sighed.

"I thought it would take 20 years for the trouble between Lord Hou and His Majesty to become like this, but I didn't expect it to become like this in just a few years."

Lord Jing'an frowned slightly.

In fact, he couldn't figure it out either. Logically speaking, the relationship between him and the Son of Heaven was not bad, and there was no reason to rebel. The Son of Heaven had no reason to attack him involuntarily at such a time.

The emperor is so anxious to act now, it seems that he is deliberately forcing him to turn against the court.

Seeing Li Xin's expression, Zhao Jia took a sip of tea and asked, "Master Hou, what are you going to do next?"

"what can I do?"

Li Xin gave Zhao Jia a blank look.

"Now the guards at my door seem to have withdrawn, but the surveillance in the dark will only be stricter than before. I don't know how many pairs of eyes are looking at me. What else can I do?"

Having said that, he looked at Zhao Jia and patted the latter on the shoulder.

"Brother You'an, you have already been targeted when you came in through this door. Maybe now your house in Liyang is full of people from the Tianmu prison."

Zhao Jia's expression froze, and he let out a breath slowly,

"Sooner or later..."

He looked at Li Xin and asked again: "How will Lord Hou protect himself?"

Once the Jing'an Marquis Mansion falls, people like him who are labeled as the Jing'an Marquis Mansion will definitely disappear with it. When he asked Li Xin, he was actually asking about his own wealth and life.

Li Xin put down his teacup with a calm expression.

"Brother You'an, you can rest assured that as long as Southwest maintains the status quo, the emperor will be wary and dare not do anything to me."

Zhao Jia nodded, remained silent for a while, and asked, "Master Hou wants to be Duke Ye?"

Li Xin frowned, then shook his head slowly.

"I can't wait for three to forty years without moving."

Chapter 781

The current situation is that the emperor has nothing to do with Li Xin, and has temporarily compromised with Li Xin, but Li Xin also has nothing to do with the emperor, and is even trapped in the capital, so Li Xin wants to stay in the Jin Dynasty. To find a way to coexist with the emperor.

What old man Ye did back then was one of the ways.

I have closed my house by myself and haven't seen outsiders for decades. I just play with some flowers and plants at home, put away all my sharp edges, make a comprehensive compromise, and only want to protect myself.

Ye Cheng's approach was undoubtedly very successful. Chen Guo's kung fu became the top three generals in the Jin Dynasty, and his descendants made great contributions. The Ye family gradually flourished. The year of death is coming to an end.

But doing this is not Li Xin's style. He made up his mind many years ago that he would not be the second Ye Sheng.

Hearing Li Xin's answer, County Magistrate Zhao was not very surprised. He has been with Li Xin for so many years, and he can somewhat understand his boss's temper. Hearing this, he sighed slightly: "What is the Hou Ye going to do?"

He was silent for a while, and then asked, "Is there anything I can do for you?"

"There is really something that needs Brother You'an's help."

Li Xin looked calm and outspoken.

"I want you to go to the southwest, to Mu Ying's side."

Speaking of this, Li Xin looked at Zhao Jia and said with a smile: "It's just that Brother You'an is no longer working in my Marquis Mansion, it's the fate of the court, I don't know if Brother You'an is willing to do this for me. "

Zhao Jia didn't agree or refuse. He just looked up at Li Xin and asked quietly, "What am I going to the Southwest for?"

Li Xin answered very simply.

"Because I can't go to the southwest, so I asked Brother You'an to go for me. Brother You'an is in the southwest, which means I am in the southwest."

Zhao Jia nodded and continued to ask, "Then what am I going to do in the southwest?"

These two questions seem to be similar, only one or two words are different, but the meaning is very different. Li Xin frowned and thought for a while, and said: "Nowadays, the imperial court can't look at both the north and the south. , Muying's Hanzhou army can guard Jianmen Pass as much as possible. There is no problem with Hanzhou's troops dividing the southwest, but it is not very realistic to go out to conquer the world. After Brother You'an went to the southwest, he first helped Muying rebuild Become the homeland of the Han Dynasty, and then just wait for the opportunity."

Zhao Jia took a deep breath.

"As Lord Hou said, I'm probably being targeted by the court. How can I go to the southwest?"

"I can help you."

Li Xin said quietly: "I can't leave the capital now, but I can still use a group of people. These people dare not say anything else. It shouldn't be a problem to help Brother You'an and his family leave Liyang."

Zhao Jia lowered his head and pondered for a long time, and finally said slowly: "Why does Mu Ying listen to me?"

As soon as he said this, he agreed, and a bright smile appeared on Li Xin's face.

"Don't worry, Mu Ying is a trustworthy person."

Zhao Jia shook his head slightly: "Anyone who has been in charge of the army for five years will change his mind. Lord Hou is not a childish person, and should not use affection to control people."

Li Xin smiled and said: "The backbone of the Hanzhou Army is all from my former Habayashi Guards, and they will listen to me."

Zhao Jia continued to shake his head.

"These people will listen to Lord Hou's truth, but they may not listen to me. Lord Hou wants me to go to the southwest, so he must give me some sharp weapons."

Marquis Jingan smiled.

"In the city of Hanzhou, there is a man named Lin Hu. He is my brother who I have played with since I was a child. Today, Lei's formula and production team are all in his hands. Brother You'an can find him after he goes to the southwest. .”

"He will listen to you."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Jia immediately stood up.

"So, I'll go back and prepare."

The situation in the Southwest was very clear. The Hanzhou Army relied entirely on Tianlei to be able to control the Southwest. In other words, whoever could control the Tianlei could indirectly control the Hanzhou Army. He nodded and agreed without hesitation.

Tianlei is a very dangerous thing. Li Xin is not at ease in anyone's hands. Only a brother like Lin Hu who grew up with him can entrust him with confidence. But Lin Hu is not very active in his mind. It can't be used to its full potential, so this thing can be displayed in the southwest only when a smart person like Zhao Jia holds this thing in his hands.

The reason why Li Xin wanted to get Zhao Jia to the southwest was because he wanted to get a "political commissar" in Hanzhou.
