Unparalleled Concubine

   Chapter 541 The Elusive Emperor

   Helping the "rebels" in Hanzhou to find a legal identity is what Li Xin must do. Only when these Hanzhou soldiers are no longer "rebels" can they exist in Hanzhou with integrity.

   In other words, we must find a way to label these former Shu rebels as "rebels".

  There are too many things to report to Li Xin in Hanzhou, so this big night, Mu Ying was in Li Xin's room, telling him the specific affairs of Hanzhou.

   Soon, New Year's Eve passed,

   The next morning was the first day of the new year for the third year of Chengkang.

   In a blink of an eye, the emperor Taikang who took the throne by changing the palace has been in power for more than two years.

In the past two years, Li Xinzheng's Bajing has not spent much time in the capital, even less than a year in total. Most of the other time he is either in Yongzhou or in the southwest. Don't hang around in the big Jin capital.

   Take this time as an example, Li Xin and Emperor Taikang have not seen each other for nearly a whole year.

   The person sitting in that position has ever-changing thoughts every moment. He hasn't seen each other for a whole year, and no one knows what the emperor is thinking now.

   Li Xin, who was eighteen years of Chengkang's life, was confident in grasping the thoughts of His Royal Highness the King of Wei, but now the Marquis of Jing'an is no longer confident in grasping the Emperor Taikang.

However, what should be done is still to be done. While Li Xin instructed Mu Ying to raise the banner of "helping Master Wang" in Hanzhou, he wrote a letter on the other hand, detailing the current situation in Southwest China in the memorial book. Only in the middle of playing the book, Li Xin mentioned a sentence without beginning or end.

   "The people of Shu in Hanzhou are many righteous people who help Master Wang to repel the rebellion."

After    a memorial was written, Li Xin read it by himself, and immediately sent him to the capital.

   This letter of credit is expedited for 600 miles and sent to the capital.

   But before this letter arrived in the capital, Ye Ming and Ye Shaobao's memorial had already arrived in the capital ahead of schedule.

On the twenty-sixth day of the twelfth lunar month, Ye Ming received the news that Mianzhu had broken the city. As the chief general of the Western Army, he immediately wrote the news into the memorial book and rushed it to the capital with 600 miles. .

  The southwest is more than 3,000 miles away from the capital. Even if it is 600 miles in a hurry, when Ye Mao's letter was delivered to the capital, it was already the fifth day of the new year.

   At this moment, the first snow in Taikang three years has just fallen in the capital.

  The upper and lower parts of the capital are plain white.

It is still the day when the imperial court is resting. Therefore, Yonglefang, which is usually very quiet, is very lively at the moment, because the nobles in Yonglefang have many in-laws with each other. Now is the time for New Year's greetings. , From time to time there are a top sedan back and forth.

   Riding a fast horse, dashed straight to Yonganmen.

   Attacking the gate of the palace is the most serious crime among the serious crimes. The one who dares to attack the gate of the palace can only be the postman in the southwest.

  This postman did not dare to break into Yong'anmen, and only stayed at the gate of Yonganmen. Not long after, a **** who looked extremely young but dressed in red, reached out and took the letter from the postman.

  The Inner Court of the Great Jin Dynasty had strict rank regulations. Only the young prisoners of the eight prisons were qualified to wear red, which meant that this young **** was at least the young prisoner of the eight prisons of the inner court.

   The young supervisor held this memorial book in his hand, walked all the way to the entrance of Weiyang Palace, walked straight in, and finally stopped in the warm pavilion of Weiyang Palace and knelt down at the door of the warm pavilion.

   "Your Majesty, the military situation in the southwest."

Originally, the memorials handed down below should be read by the Shangshu Desk first, and then sent to the emperor after being screened, but now this memorial is sent directly to the Weiyang Palace without going through the Shangshu Desk, which shows that this year Time, Emperor Taikang's ability to control the court situation has reached a new level.

  In the warm pavilion, a peaceful voice came.

   "Hand in."

   This young prisoner is naturally Xiao Zheng, the popular **** who is currently in charge of the inner guard. He holds the Southwest's memorial book in his hand, and walks into the warm pavilion with small pieces, and kneels slowly.

  The emperor reached out and took the book in his hand, unfolded it and looked at it, then a smile appeared on his face.

   "Chang'an really lived up to my expectations. I only went to the southwest for a year, and he has already won seventy or eighty percent of the southwest."

   Visible joy appeared on the face of the emperor.

   "With Mianzhu, my Imperial Army will be able to return to Beijing within a year or two at most. During this year, Gyeonggi is empty, and I feel a little uneasy in my heart."

   Xiao showed a flattering smile on his face, bowed his head and said, "Your Majesty, is the Southwest victory?"

   "More than a great victory."

  The emperor touched his palm and smiled: "Chang'an has already established his victory in the southwest, and the collapse of the Pingnan army is just around the corner."

   "It won't be long before I can do what my father has never done before!"

   The young **** Xiao knelt on the ground and dropped his body to the ground.

   "Slave congratulations, Your Majesty."

   "Your Majesty is wise and martial, and your luck is prosperous."

   "My luck is prosperous?"

   The smile on the emperor's face subsided, and he looked at Xiao Zheng lightly.

   "You mean, I am lucky?"

  Xiao Zheng's face changed suddenly, he gave himself a big mouth, and kowtowed: "Your Majesty knows people and employs people, is wise and talented, and has no luck at all. The servants are speechless, the servants are speechless..."

  The king is like a tiger.

   As the emperor, he will not give his subordinates the opportunity to see through himself, so almost every emperor is moody.

  The emperor was expressionless and kept watching Xiao Zheng kowtow his forehead red.

   Then he said blankly: "You're right, I met Chang'an, and I was really lucky."

   "Go, call Princess Qinghe over and say I have something to look for her."

   Xiao Zheng then staggered to his feet and bowed out of Weiyang Palace.

   Emperor Taikang threw aside the playbook in his hand and looked at the direction of the palace gate with an indifferent expression.

  …

About half an hour later, the eldest Princess Qinghe, who was still busy with New Year's affairs in Jing'an Hou's mansion, was called into the palace by Xiao Zheng. At this time, the former Ninth Princess had been married to the Li family's wife for nearly a year. Li Xin has not been in the capital for a year, and the affairs of the Jing'an Marquis are all busy with her "mother", so Her Royal Highness the eldest princess is much calmer than the previous little nine princesses.

   She became more of an adult.

   After entering the warm pavilion, she saluted the emperor in a proper manner.

   "I have seen Your Majesty."

  The emperor was reading a book, and when he saw the nine princesses coming, he quickly threw the book aside, stepped forward in three or two steps, and helped the nine princesses up.

   Emperor Taikang feigned anger and said, "What is your majesty called? It must be called the emperor's brother."

  The eldest princess blinked at him, smiled and said: "The girl is already married, so you must pay attention to her words and deeds, otherwise it will cause trouble for the husband's family if the censors see and hear it."

  Although the nine princesses are a little more disciplined, the two are brothers and sisters after all, and their relationship is still much closer than others. With just a few words, the nine princesses became playful again.

   "Brother Huang called me, what's the matter?"

   "That's it."

   The emperor laughed.

   "There is a good thing, I need to discuss it with Xiaojiu."
