Unparalleled Concubine

Of course, he didn't want to go back and write snack recipes for Princess Qinghe, he was going to visit Wei Wangfu, this imperial decree came too weird, he wanted to discuss it with His Royal Highness Wei Wang.

In Princess Qinghe's mansion, after Li Xin left, the Ninth Princess Ji Lingxiu sat alone in the gazebo, feeling a little lost.

The smile on her face also disappeared.

I don't know why, but when I looked at the delicious skewers under the gazebo, I suddenly lost my appetite.

Chapter 109 I want to understand

In Wei Wangfu.

The seventh prince, Ji Wen, sat across the table from Li Xin. His Royal Highness held the imperial decree handed over by Li Xin in his hand, squinted his eyes and read the imperial decree carefully. After a long time, he finally read the imperial decree. The imperial decree was rolled up again and handed back to Li Xin.

Li Xin put the imperial decree into his sleeve, and said softly: "Your Highness, this imperial decree came very abruptly, without any warning in advance, and even with the position of military supervisor, I don't quite understand what His Majesty wants me to do. , so I want to come to ask His Highness for advice."

It has been a while since Li Xin came to this world. During this period of time, he has a general understanding of the capital through the information of Deyilou. Not very clear.

His Royal Highness the King of Wei reached out to pick up the teapot on the table, poured a cup of tea for Li Xin, and then said slowly: "This military supervisor is a position without rank... In the past, Yushitai sent people to do it. The duty is to follow the army, record the situation along the way, and when the army wins and the squadron returns to the court, the records of the military supervisor will be sent directly to the palace and handed over to the emperor for review."

After hearing the words of the Seventh Prince, Li Xin had a vague idea.

This position is probably equivalent to a war reporter plus a complaint...?

After the Seventh Prince paused, he took a deep look at Li Xin, and continued, "But this happened a long time ago. Since Emperor Wu of the Great Jin Dynasty, the position of military supervisor has been abolished."

Emperor Wu of the Jin Dynasty was the emperor who led the Jin Dynasty to rule the world 30 years ago, the grandfather of the Seventh Prince Ji Wen, and the father of the Chengde Emperor.

At that time, Emperor Wu of the Great Jin Dynasty, in order to improve the combat effectiveness of the army, wantonly delegated power to generals, and canceled the positions of supervisor and envoy of the army. Because of this, this Emperor Wu had many strong generals under his command, such as the first Chen Guogong Ye Sheng, the first generation Pingnan Hou Li Zhijie and so on.

With these fierce generals, Da Jin was able to sweep the world 30 years ago.

However, there are advantages and disadvantages in everything, and for this reason, Pingnanhou Li Zhijie had the opportunity to secretly manage a small world in southern Xinjiang under the eyes of Emperor Wu, leaving such a family property for Pingnanhou's mansion.

The seventh prince's tone was complicated: "At the beginning, Emperor Wu and the generals under his command promised to achieve great things together, and they would never believe it. Therefore, they abolished the supervising army and supervising military envoys, and let the generals play their own roles. After more than 30 years, the imperial court has always respected Wu. According to the meaning of the emperor, there were no positions such as supervising the army and supervising the army.”

As a royal family, it is not as easy and comfortable as ordinary people seem to be. The princes of the Ji family's royal family have been studying in the palace since they were five years old. The history of the Jin Dynasty is a "compulsory course". Only the prince can be familiar with these old things.

His Royal Highness King Wei lowered his head and took a sip of his tea, then sighed faintly.

"Father is now re-establishing the military supervisor, which is to give up the promise left by the emperor in the past, but even if we want to set up a military supervisor, it should be selected from Yushitai..."

Speaking of this, he frowned: "But the emperor chose you to go, there must be a deep meaning in it."

Li Xin bowed his head and said: "Eunuch Chen said that I am not the military supervisor alone, and there are some accompanying people. I think those people are from Yushitai."

His Royal Highness King Wei bowed his head, and said in a deep voice: "The holy will has come out, and this trip to Southern Xinjiang, Brother Xin, is definitely going, but Brother Xin, you and Li Shen are in such a mess, and you want to get involved again...the two of them Among the contradictions between them, this trip is quite dangerous..."

He wanted to talk about the conflict between Emperor Chengde and Li Shen, but this conflict has not yet been brought out in court, the Seventh Prince is cautious by nature, so he did not speak out directly.

Li Xin bowed his head and said: "The danger is danger, but Li Shen probably won't do anything to me on the bright side. What should be worried about is the remnants of the Southern Shu in southern Xinjiang. If I kill their little Highness, they will probably come to me Seeking revenge."

His Royal Highness Wei Wang shook his head: "A military supervisor is not a member of the army, so he doesn't have to listen to the commander's command, let alone charge into the battle. Brother Xin just needs to hide in the army when the time comes. Those Li Ni can't rush into the Pingnan army. Take revenge."

Li Xin chuckled and said meaningfully, "That's not necessarily the case."

What is the relationship between the remnants of Nanshu in southern Xinjiang and Pingnanhou's mansion, or how far they have gone between them, now no one can tell. The camp of the Southern Army killed him and walked away.

"Not as bad as you think."

His Royal Highness Wei Wang said in a low voice: "This time, you are not the only one to be the military supervisor. With the people from Yushitai present, the Pingnan Army will always be afraid of doing things, and Li Shen is a cautious person who would not do such a thing. Bold thing."

"Besides... father, he definitely doesn't want you to have an accident, and will probably send some people to protect you."

Hearing the Seventh Prince's analysis, Li felt a lot more at ease, he took a sip from the teacup, and said softly: "Based on what His Majesty knows about His Majesty, what is His Majesty's purpose in sending me to Southern Xinjiang this time? "

His Royal Highness the King of Wei hesitated for a moment, and finally spoke slowly.

"Mostly, I want you to go and see what's going on in Nanjiang, and find out by the way... Where are the flaws in the Pingnanhou Mansion."

Speaking of this, His Royal Highness King Wei lowered his voice: "Except for you, no one else can find the flaw in Pingnanhou's Mansion, or in other words, even if they find it, there is no way for them to leave Southern Border alive."

Li Xin's face changed slightly: "Then I'm going to die without a life?"

"Not so..."

Ji Wen reached out and patted Li Xin's shoulder, and said softly: "Whether you find or fail to find the flaws in the Pingnan Hou Mansion, you can't say it on the bright side. After you came back from Southern Xinjiang, father Most likely, the emperor would not ask you about this matter, the old man probably meant that he asked you to go to the southern border to take a look..."

Having said that, Ji Wen took a deep breath, and then lowered his voice.

"To prepare for the future."

Only at this time did Li Xin want to fully understand why the Chengde Emperor thought so highly of him.

The emperor wanted to use himself to deal with the Pingnanhoufu.

And the reward after things are done...is the Nine Princesses.

If the matter fails, then it is nothing more than taking one's own life, and the emperor is still in peace with the monarch and ministers of the Nanhou Mansion on the surface.

He has nothing to lose.

If it does, it would be a most cost-effective deal to exchange a princess for a Southern Border.

Li Xin lowered his head slightly, with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

For Li Xin, this was not entirely a bad thing. Chengde Emperor wanted to use him to break the situation in southern Xinjiang, and Li Xin also wanted to use Chengde Emperor to fight against Pingnanhoufu.

The two of them have a common enemy.

This is a fair mutual exploitation.

Thinking of this, Li Xin raised his head and glanced at His Royal Highness King Wei in front of him, thinking silently in his heart.

Moreover, I may not be completely controlled by Emperor Chengde...

When Li Xin was thinking about it with his head down, the Seventh Prince poured him another cup of tea with a solemn voice.

"Brother Xin, remember, after you arrive in Southern Xinjiang, try not to anger Li Shen, let alone try to contact the Li family in Southern Xinjiang. This is not something that can be solved in a hurry, you have to figure it out slowly."

His Royal Highness King Wei looked directly at Li Xin with a sincere tone.

"Live is the most important thing."

Chapter 110: Just in Case

No matter what purpose His Royal Highness King Wei had in mind, what he said at this moment was sincere.

Because what Li Xin could understand, the Seventh Prince could naturally understand as well.
