Unparalleled Concubine

   Chapter 468 People Worth Knowing

   How to fight on the battlefield actually has nothing to do with the emperor. Li Xin asked this sentence, not to ask how to fight the tactics in front of Emperor Taikang, but to ask the emperor and the court's attitude towards the southern border.

   In other words, how should the imperial court deal with the southern border in the general direction.

  The emperor frowned and said, "Changan, what do you mean?"

  Li Xin lowered his eyebrows slightly.

   "The minister's meaning is, once the southwest is in chaos, what should the court's attitude be towards the southern border."

  The emperor lowered his head and thought for a while, then spoke slowly.

   "If we can avoid mass death, we should not mass death."

   The emperor sighed.

"Pingnanhou Mansion has been in operation for 30 years, and the southern border has indeed become a climate. If you fight against them, even if you win, at least the hundreds of thousands of people in the right camp of the forbidden army will be hard to come back. the children of."

  The Emperor took a deep breath and continued: "If you really want to fight, I won't be afraid of them, but if there is a chance to take advantage of it, I am willing to take advantage of it."

   Li Xin whispered: "Why do you use tricks?"

The Son of Heaven was silent for a while, and then said: "For example, we can start with those remnants of Nanshu, let them abandon the darkness and turn to the light, and let's start with the eldest brother. As long as the eldest brother is not in the southern border, the Pingnan Army will not be afraid, and we can slowly consume it. kill them."

   In fact, there is still a third situation, that is, the surrender of the Pingnan Army. However, in this situation, it is unlikely that the Pingnan Army will surrender. After all, the flag has been raised, and everyone knows that there is no way to survive.

   Generally speaking, the attitude of the emperor is still very obvious, that is, try to win the southern border with the smallest price.

This is a matter of course. After all, the current Dajin court wants to gnaw down the southern border. If the right battalion of the forbidden army is to be taken in, 80% of the left battalion of the forbidden army will also participate in the war. At that time, the defense of the capital will be overwhelmed. Play empty.

   gnawed it down, and I also lost a few teeth.

   This is one of the reasons why Emperor Wu and Emperor Chengde did not attack the southern border.

  Li Xin lowered his head slightly and said solemnly, "So, this minister understands."

   "Besides this, I think there is another thing to do."

  The emperor said solemnly: "You say it."

   "The world's speech must be in the hands of the imperial court."

The Hou of Jing'an lowered his eyebrows and said, "According to His Majesty, the Southern Border is using speech to build momentum for the abolished prince. This momentum is very dangerous. If everyone in the world thinks that the abolished prince is orthodox, then the Southern Border really has In order to threaten the ability of the court, the court must send troops on the one hand, and on the other hand, it must actively control speech, for example, those Northern Zhou families must let them stand on His Majesty’s side and speak for His Majesty.”

  The Emperor smiled.

   "This is clear to me. Yang Guo from the Yang family in Hongnong and people from the Cui family in Boling have agreed to write a letter for me, and in a few days, it will be spread to the world."

   Li Xin nodded.

   "In this way, I can rest assured."

After a pause, Li Xin continued: "Your Majesty, these Northern Zhou clans may not be killed, but they must not be officials anymore. The emperors of my Jin Dynasty have been attacking the clan for several generations. Buried in the mud, they must not be allowed to come back to life again."

   "This is natural."

   Emperor Taikang put away the smile on his face and his face became serious.

   "They turned their backs on the court first, which should have been the end of the clan, but since they are still useful, and temporarily save their lives, I have given an order to the officials that all these Northern Zhou family members are not allowed to serve as officials within three generations."

   This is very cruel.

A family must have someone in every generation to carry the burden of the family. As long as one generation fails to be an official, it will fail. If three generations fail to become an official, it will be pushed down by everyone. After the third generation, it will be fifty years. Enough for them to lie in the grave and take their last breaths.

   The two of them seemed to have returned to the days when they were in the Wei Palace, and they began to talk about the court situation wantonly until it was almost dark in the evening, when the ninth princess came back from the Kunde Palace to remind Li Xin, and Li Xin came back to his senses and got up to say goodbye to the emperor.

  The emperor smiled and said, "I haven't had such a long and happy talk with Chang'an for a long time. When I have time to spare, I will also visit your Jing'an Hou residence."

   Li Xin said respectfully, "This minister will definitely welcome the Holy Chariot."

  The emperor stretched his waist, sat up from the chair, and said lazily: "I'm a little tired, so I won't send you guys, Xiao Zheng, give me a gift for the Marquis of Jing'an and the eldest princess."

   Xiao Zheng nodded immediately and walked ahead of Li Xin to lead the way.

  While walking on the road, Li Xin held the Ninth Princess with one hand, turned to look at the young inner servant, and asked with a smile, "Eunuch Xiao, how is Eunuch Chen now?"

   "It's alright."

  Xiao Zheng got married a few days ago and received a huge benefit from Li Xin, and now he is still a little trembling when facing Li Xin.

   "Grandpa Chen is an old man who guards the imperial mausoleum for the late emperor. His Majesty also likes him. He specially asked the Ministry of Industry to build a house next to the imperial mausoleum. The old man can enjoy the happiness in the house."

   Having said this, Xiao Zheng sighed with envy.

   "For those of us who enter the palace as slaves, if we can have a result like Eunuch Chen in our lifetime, it will be considered a positive result."

This sentence is true. The deformed structure of the **** is very difficult to get along with. First, it is difficult to get ahead, and second, it is difficult to die after getting ahead. If you can be like Chen Ju, you will be old in ten or twenty years. To have a clean place is the ultimate goal of all eunuchs.

   Li Xin smiled and said nothing.

   "If Eunuch Chen doesn't go back to the palace, then the position of the **** as the **** will belong to Eunuch Xiao."

   Xiao Zheng waved his hands again and again.

   "Don't dare to think about it, Lord Hou, don't make fun of slaves."

While    was talking, the three of them had already arrived at the gate of Yong'an. Xiao Zheng saluted the two of them and said, "The Marquis, the eldest princess, there is still something in the servant's palace, so I will send you here."

  Li Xin helped the Nine Princesses onto the carriage, turned around and said with a smile, "Eunuch Xiao has worked."

   Xiao is gradually leaving.

  The horse carriage of the Jinganhou Mansion also started slowly.

   Li Xin and the nine princesses were sitting in the carriage. Because of the cold, Li Xin added a piece or two of charcoal to the stove.

  The ninth princess sat beside Li Xin, took Li Xin's hand and asked, "What are you doing inquiring about the picklings in the palace?"

Li Xin was stunned for a while, then patted her head and said with a smile: "The eight prisons in the inner palace are sometimes no worse than the six in the imperial court. If you want to survive well in the capital, you must know more people. , otherwise, when things come to an end, you will be smeared in the eyes."

  The eldest princess hugged Li Xin's arm and snorted softly: "It's useless to know these people, they are not familiar with them."

   Nine princesses did not understand Li Xin's behavior of befriending eunuchs.

  Because in her opinion, these people are just domestic slaves no matter what.

   But for Li Xin, these are all human resources.

   He has no foundation in the capital, so he can only try his best to get to know all the people worth knowing.

   Maybe one day, it will come in handy.

   "It doesn't matter if you are mature or not, just get to know them. They don't bite us when it's critical."
