Unparalleled Concubine

Li Xin always felt that these two women would be of great use in the future.

"These two women were originally given to me by you, so there is no problem in returning them to you."

Speaking of this, the fourth prince smiled narrowly: "It's just that although these two girls are good-looking, they are like foxes, and they can't be touched. Otherwise, they will be covered with fishy smells, and they will become others in the future. handle."

"Brother Xin, if you want to..."

His Royal Highness King Wei blinked, smiled and said, "I can ask Jiuniang to arrange one or two little girls for you in Deyilou. As for these two Nanshu girls, it's better not to touch them."

"Your Highness, what are you talking about..."

Li Xin glanced at Ji Wen speechlessly, and said with a wry smile: "These two women should have a high status among the remnants of Southern Shu. If we want to deal with Pingnanhoufu, we must start with these remnants of Nanshu. The two of them are the key to breaking the situation, they cannot be released easily, let alone killed easily."

The seventh prince withdrew his smile, his face became serious, and he said in a deep voice: "Okay, I'll have someone send the address and key of the yard where the two of them are locked up to your home later. From now on, these two women, I don't care."

He pointed to his nose, and said softly: "From the perspective of identity, the two of them should be sworn enemies. It is reasonable to kill each other when we meet. If I get in touch with them but don't kill them, it's easy People get hold of it."

Li Xin nodded slightly.

He can still understand this kind of position. According to the logic, the seventh child of the Ji family should indeed kill these rebels without hesitation and maintain the rule of the Ji family.

The conversation between the two of them came to an end here, and Li Xin bowed slightly to the Seventh Prince, and said in a low voice: "Your Highness, it's almost time, I still have to go to the Princess Mansion to check the situation, so I will take my leave first." gone."

The Seventh Prince pulled Li Xin's sleeve with a solemn expression.

"Brother Xin, if the business of selling wine and the work in southern Xinjiang are all done well, you will be the number one hero of Wei Palace!"

Li Xin smiled slightly.

"His Highness loves you..."

Chapter 105 The Wrath of the Son of Heaven

It was already afternoon when Li Xin left Prince Wei's mansion, he wanted to go back to Princess Qinghe's mansion, firstly to see if his subordinates were working, and secondly to get food for that Qinghe princess.

During this period of time, Li Xin served as the cook of Princess Qinghe's mansion, and he had to cook one or two meals for her every day. It's eating by yourself, it's nothing more than doing a little more.

The ingredients for cooking can still go to Princess Qinghe's mansion.

While Li Xin was cooking at Princess Qinghe's mansion, a fast horse staggered into the capital from the south gate of the capital, and immediately sat a haggard young man who was riding a fast horse on Desheng Street. OK, roared: "Express Post, make way, make way!"

According to the post law of the Jin Dynasty, there are three types of post letters, one is ordinary post letters, the other is urgent, and the more urgent one is express post letters.

Urgent post letters are okay, but they are delivered as soon as possible by changing horses at post stations along the way, but urgent post letters are different. This kind of post letter often requires one person and three horses, and the best horses must be prepared for rotation at post stations along the way. The fastest speed to the capital.

How high can this level of urgency be?

It is not a crime for a postman holding an express postal letter to kill someone along the way, but if someone obstructs him along the way, he will be punished as a serious crime.

The people in the capital are relatively politically sensitive. After hearing this sentence, they hurriedly stepped aside and made way for a path on the bustling Desheng Street.

The postman panicked slightly, and rushed directly towards the imperial city in the northern city. When he reached the root of the imperial city, the emaciated postman shook the letter in his hand and hissed: "The urgent military situation in southern Xinjiang, Emergency military situation in southern Xinjiang!"

"Li Xing, a traitor in southern Xinjiang, has entangled 5 troops to create chaos and has occupied several counties!"

In front of the gate of Yong'an Gate was the imperial guard of the internal guards on duty, their faces changed drastically when they heard the words, and while they let go of the palace gate, they rushed to report to the officials.

After half an hour, the post envoy finally went through many checkpoints, walked to the Changle Palace, and knelt down in front of the Chengde Emperor.

His voice has gone hoarse.

"Your Majesty, the prefect of Hanzhou sent an urgent letter, Li Xing, a rebel in southern Xinjiang, and others, instigated the magistrate of Deyang County, raised the banner of the Southern Han Dynasty, and entangled tens of thousands of rebels to commit rebellion, and now they have occupied several counties in Hanzhou !"

"The thieves are fierce, please make a decision, Your Majesty!"

It stands to reason that no matter which dynasty or generation the emperor is, the most troublesome or most fearful thing is someone rebelling, because only this can fundamentally threaten the emperor's rule, but after Emperor Chengde received this urgent post letter, he did not Not flustered, but expressionless.

The current emperor, dressed in purple casual clothes, looked out of the palace gate faintly, muttering to himself.

"Isn't the Southwest more peaceful these years, how can you say it's chaotic?"

The postman said tremblingly: "Your Majesty, the villain is just delivering letters..."

"I didn't ask you."

Emperor Chengde waved his hand lightly: "I already know the matter, you have worked hard all the way, go down and rest."

"As ordered..."

When the post envoy walked out of Changle Palace, Emperor Chengde sneered and threw the post letter in his hand on the ground.

"What a coincidence, less than two months after Li Shen returned to Beijing, the southern border became chaotic again. It seems that my Great Jin, without him, Pingnanhoufu, really can't do it!"

The great eunuch Chen Ju bent over and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty calm down..."

"How can I appease my anger!"

Emperor Chengde patted the table heavily, and roared in a low voice: "Li Shen is not even willing to do superficial work, he just wants to tell me that he is tired of staying in the capital and wants to go back to southern Xinjiang to "put down the rebellion" Already!"

Li Shen wanted to leave the capital, this was a matter of course, after all, there was actually a discord between Pingnanhou's Mansion and the Dajin royal family, and both sides were in a situation of mutual fear.

The whole family of the Pingnan Hou Mansion stayed in the capital, and they were Li Shen's "protons" in the capital. With the protons, he was unlikely to stay in the capital for a long time. If it is chopped off, and the Pingnanhou's mansion is taken over, the Pingnan Army in southern Xinjiang will be leaderless in an instant.

This solution is just unseemly, but it is indeed the most convenient way.

However, it is not completely unprepared for this Li family. The Pingnanhou Mansion selected a large number of strong soldiers from the southern border army, and retired to the Pingnanhou Mansion in the capital as a "part". If the emperor really wants to attack their family, these more than 1000 steps may be able to protect one or two people from escaping from the capital.

However, the Pingnan Hou Mansion will not be willing to turn against the court until it is forced to.

Therefore, Li Shen could not stay in the capital.

Only by returning to southern Xinjiang, he himself, and the Pingnanhou Mansion in the capital can guarantee his safety.

Emperor Chengde's face was flushed with anger, and he patted the table angrily: "Li Shen is treating me and the whole court as fools!"

Chen Ju bent his waist slightly, and persuaded in a low voice: "Your Majesty calm down, there is nothing in the world that His Majesty cannot solve, Your Majesty must not get angry."

The Emperor Chengde took several deep breaths before he forced himself to calm down. He bent down and picked up the post letter, then sat back on his dragon chair, and read the letter carefully again.

The person who wrote this letter was Qi Yuan, the magistrate of Hanzhou.

This is only three short years.

Emperor Chengde gritted his teeth secretly.

Is this southern border really watertight?

Qi Yuan's betrayal is not surprising. Southern Xinjiang has been run by the Pingnanhou Mansion for more than 30 years, and the Pingnanhou Mansion has military power in its hands. Qi Yuan, a scholar, is unlikely to become a prefect in Hanzhou alone.
