Unparalleled Concubine

   Chapter 447 The Son of Heaven Becomes a Villain

   "It started normally yesterday."

Li Xin lowered his head slightly and said slowly: "According to the calculation, there should be no major problems, Ye Mao is not a fool, he knows the seriousness of the matter, if there is no accident, His Majesty will be able to see those people of the Northern Zhou family being killed after the year. Escorted to the capital."

  The Son of Heaven nodded.

"Those people are especially hateful. I heard that the letter of appointment has been spread all over the northern counties, and most of the Shu counties are also spreading it. It won't be long before my reputation will be ruined by these beasts. If I don't kill them, I will I am angry with Nanping in my heart."

  Li Xin nodded and said, "These people are damned. In addition, His Majesty should also post the imperial list in the place to explain the key points. Otherwise, some foolish people may be deceived by the thieves and cause great harm."

   Having said this, Li Xin paused for a while, and then continued: "Those who spread rumors about disasters all over the world, as long as Your Majesty distributes the items verified by the Ministry of Justice, the rumors will disperse."

Li Xin and Emperor Taikang are on the same front, at least now they are still in the same spirit, so at this time, Li Xin is still willing to help his "little partner", after all, if Li Shen wins, Li Xin If Xin did not obediently be his son, then he could only hide in the deep mountains and forests.

  The Emperor frowned slightly.

   "It's been a long time, and the rumors have dissipated. Is it necessary to post the emperor list?"

  You fellow, don't you know how powerful the masses work...

   Li Xinxin spit out a word, and smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty, the one who wins the hearts of the people wins the world, and the time and place are better than the word "ren". Besides, the thief has the abolished prince in hand, so we have to be careful no matter what."

  The Emperor nodded and said, "I will let people do this."

  Counting the time, it has been nearly a year since the new emperor ascended the throne. Today's Emperor Taikang is much calmer than when he first ascended the throne. At least he looks like a mature emperor.

  The Emperor walked in front of a pot of snow-white Qiuju, bent down and smelled it, then turned to look at Li Xin.

   "Chang'an, do you have a way to contact the eldest brother of the Mu family you arranged in Southern Border?"

   "I don't know, but the minister can send someone to ask."

Li Xin said in a low voice: "But probably not. Although the survivors of Nanshu have contacts with the Pingnan Army, they are two camps after all. The abolition of the prince is definitely the top priority in the southern border. Li Shen will not let outsiders contact them. he."

  The Marquis of Jing An looked up at the emperor and asked, "What does your majesty mean?"

  The emperor slowly closed his eyes.

   "The eldest brother's family is still in the capital. I thought, if I use this as a condition, can I let the eldest brother return to the capital and avoid a disaster."

  At the beginning of the palace change, the abolished prince fled the palace in embarrassment, and there was no time to transfer his family. The prince's wife and children who stayed in the east palace were all arrested by the emperor Taikang, and now they are locked in the former Qin palace.

   "What if I send a messenger to Southern Border to convey this matter?"

  Li Xin thought about it for a while, and finally shook his head slowly: "Mostly, the abolished prince will never be seen."

"Even if I see it, this method of taking people's small threats is not what the king does. Your Majesty is the emperor, and you can't do this kind of vulgar behavior. The minister thinks that it is okay to send envoys from the southern border to persuade the surrender, but don't take the abolition of the prince's family. A little fuss."

   Emperor Taikang sighed.

   "I am worried that too many people will die."

"If you were a villain, you would be able to avoid this disaster, and you would be able to let the eldest brother return to Beijing. It's nothing for me to be a villain. As long as the eldest brother returns to Beijing, Li Shen and the others are rootless duckweeds, not worth mentioning. "

   is nice to say.

Throughout the ages, no emperor would not care about his own reputation. Even if this was done, this "villain behavior" would not be the emperor's actions, but someone in the court who jumped out to take the blame for the emperor and was responsible for the affairs of the southern border. Li Xin, who is very likely to be the person behind the blame.

  The two talked about some matters in the southern border, and then mentioned the matter of the right camp of the forbidden army.

   "Ye Ming went to your camp?"

"went."

  Li Xin whispered: "General Ye arrived yesterday, and the minister has already sent someone to take him to get acquainted with the forbidden army."

   When he sees someone, he has to say something. Li Xin is naturally a senior brother in front of the Ye family, but in front of the emperor, he can't be too close, or the emperor will feel uncomfortable even if he doesn't say anything.

   Emperor Taikang frowned slightly.

   "Since he is in the Imperial Army, you shouldn't come back to Chang'an. I asked him to get acquainted with the Imperial Army, just to make it easier for him in the future, not to let him really take the Imperial Army with him."

  The Son of Heaven is outspoken.

   "This Imperial Army is the lifeblood of the capital. Only in your hands, Chang'an, can I sleep well."

Li Xin lowered his head and smiled bitterly: "This minister has no choice, the Queen Mother is already discussing the wedding date. According to the Queen Mother's intention, if it is not the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month, then the 27th of the twelfth lunar month, seeing that there is still a month to go, the minister has no choice but to return. Jing make some preparations, otherwise the Marquis of Jing'an will lose its etiquette, and His Majesty's face will not look good."

   "That's true."

   A smile appeared on the emperor's face.

"The matter between you and Xiao Jiu is also a big thing at the moment. When the death day of the father and emperor passes, I will immediately order the marriage. During this time, you can take time to accompany Xiao Jiu. When the imperial decree comes down, you two. can't meet again."

  Li Xin bowed his head and said, "I will obey."

  The emperor teased Li Xin for a few words, then hesitated for a while and asked, "Do you want to inform your family in Yongzhou? Now send them expedited letters, and they should still have a chance to come to Beijing."

  Li Xin did not speak.

The emperor sighed and said, "I've also heard about the matter between you and the Xiao family, and it's going to be a riot, but when you get married, you can't have elders there, otherwise Xiaojiu will even have someone to serve tea when he arrives. No, it's too outrageous."

   Li Xin took a deep breath and said in a low voice, "Those people don't have any relationship with the minister, so they won't inform them. As for the elders on the minister's side, just let Ye Guogong come."

   After saying that, Li Xin gave a wry smile: "Yi Chen, this state affairs is too rushed, and many things have not been prepared in time. Before His Majesty has issued an decree, the minister means, why not delay it for a while?"

The emperor said helplessly: "Once the southern border is raised, you will go west with Ye Ming. It took the Great Jin eight years to conquer Nanshu more than 30 years ago, and now Li Shen's troops are older than those of the past. Nan Shu is even worse, God knows how long it will take?"

   "So before you go to war, this marriage must be done."

Emperor Taikang's tone was firm: "Xiao Jiu is seventeen years old this year, and her mother would rush her in a hurry. After a few years, her mother doesn't know what her rush will be, and she might marry her to someone else. "

Fighting at this time is due to traffic restrictions and a lack of weapons of mass destruction. Therefore, the time unit of war is calculated in "years". After two or three years, it is considered a short period of time. It is normal to fight a battle for four or five years.

   The battle between the imperial court and the southern border, no one knows how long it will last.

  Li Xin bowed his head deeply: "That minister will go to prepare now."

   "Go."

  The emperor smiled.

   "I'm just such a sister. After she gets married to the Li family, you should treat her better in Chang'an. If she comes back and complains that you have bullied her, I will settle the account with you."

   Li Xin smiled helplessly.

   "Your Majesty's words are better for the Ninth Princess. It's not bad if she doesn't bully the minister."
