Unparalleled Concubine

   Chapter 638 The pusher of the big event

To be honest, before Li Xin said these words, the emperor who had just secured the throne and "had no choice" to pacify the Taikang emperor in the southwest had never thought of surpassing the previous emperor in the past, let alone being the most dazzling in the history of the Ji family. Emperor Wu stood shoulder to shoulder.

   He just wanted to be the emperor honestly.

   But Li Xin’s words actually reminded him.

   Yes, the Southwest problem that the late emperor did not solve, I solved it. This matter will be recorded in the history books in the future, and I am not much worse than the late emperor.

   If I can completely solve the Can Zhou in the north, I can expand the country to the north for at least another thousand miles. At that time, although I may not be comparable to Emperor Wu, I can really surpass the previous emperor!

   The question is how this plan can work.

  The emperor frowned and thought about it seriously, then made up his mind.

  There is no need to hesitate. As Li Xin said, now the Great Jin country is prosperous, the people are strong, and the army is strong. As long as there is a suitable opportunity, it will naturally be able to push the Can Zhou in the north.

   The current shattering of sand on the Zhou Dynasty will certainly not be a serious problem, but if left alone, if the Yuwen tribes are unified in a few decades, it may really threaten the northern border of the Dajin.

   There is no reason to leave hidden dangers to future generations.

   Emperor Taikang thought so.

Thinking of this, he took a deep look at Li Xin and said solemnly: "Chang'an, you are wrong, the first emperor is the Holy Son of Heaven in my Great Jin, and Emperor Wu is the hero of my great Jin every few hundred years, no matter what. No matter what, I can't match them by half."

   Speaking of this, after a pause, he slowly said: "But the Yuwen tribes in the north have also been recuperating for more than 30 years. If they let it go like this, they may bring harm to their descendants."

  Li Xin bowed his head deeply with a smile on his face.

   "Your Majesty."

   He brought up this matter with the emperor, and part of it was indeed to remove hidden dangers for Dajin, but he also had a selfishness.

  The birds are exhausted, the good bows are hidden, the cunning rabbits die, and the lackeys cook.

Now the bird in the southwest has been in the heart of the Emperor Taikang, and the fat rabbit in the Pingnanhou Mansion has also entered the belly. Li Xin, a good bow, is likely to become the enemy of the emperor, so in order to ease the conflict, give himself To create some space for mediation, Li Xin wanted to artificially create some birds and some cunning rabbits for him.

   And the remaining Yuwen tribes in the north are the best flying birds.

  These Xianbei people live on nomadic herds, and are accompanied by bow horses all the year round. They are almost born elite cavalry, and it is difficult to really eliminate them.

During the Northern Zhou Dynasty, these Xianbei high-level executives were addicted to enjoyment, and they were full of flesh. Some people couldn't even ride a horse, and they were stabbed by Ye Sheng's spear. But after they were broken up more than 30 years ago, Nomadic life has been restored, and it is very difficult to destroy them now.

   But if the Emperor Taikang is really done, then he can really surpass the Shengtian Son of Chengde and become one of the few emperors in the history of the Great Jin Dynasty who opened up new territories.

   But these are all matters of the emperor, and have nothing to do with Li Xin for the time being.

The emperor patted Li Xin on the shoulder and said solemnly: "Chang'an, I know in my heart that I am not a Chinese man, and I am much inferior to the previous emperor. I should not have had these thoughts, but with you here, I can be more ambitious."

   "You have to help me."

Li Xin lowered his head and said solemnly: "Your Majesty, the Northern Expedition is not a matter of one or two days, it will take several years to prepare, and there are many famous generals from this dynasty, whether it is the Ye family or the Zhong family, they are better than the ministers. I don't know how much. "

   Having said this, Li Xin paused.

   "But if the imperial court is ready, your Majesty will be of use to the minister, and the minister is bound to do so."

  The Emperor smiled.

   "With the words of Chang'an, I can let go and prepare. Chang'an, you are my lucky general. With you here, anything can be done."

Li Xin shook his head and dared not dare, then stood up and bowed to the emperor: "Your Majesty has forgiven Li Ye's several grandchildren's death crimes, and the minister thanked His Majesty for their kindness on their behalf. General Hou, the old boss of Yu Linwei, he should be still waiting at this time, the matter of the minister is over, so I will retire."

  The Emperor hesitated for a moment, then said with a smile: "Speaking of Hou Jingde, there is one more thing I forgot to tell you about Chang'an."

  Li Xin stood with his hands down.

   "My ministers are all ears."

   Emperor Taikang pulled him to sit down again, smiled and said, "There's no need to be so serious."

"The southwest was pacified by Chang'an, and the eldest brother passed away unfortunately. Pei Jin, who was once held by you and me in the Grand Governor's Mansion, is no longer a threat, and this talent is in his 40s, so it would be a pity to abandon it, so this I have summoned him several times in the past few days, and he is also willing to be loyal to me, so I am going to let him take over your position in the Imperial Army first and wait and see for a while."

   "Anyway, with Hou Jingde watching over the Imperial Army, nothing major could happen."

   Li Xin said respectfully: "The Imperial Army is His Majesty's sword, and it should naturally be cut down by His Majesty. This minister has no opinion."

  The emperor shook his head and smiled: "After all, he will take over your position. Anyway, you have to say a few words."

Li Xin hesitated for a moment, then slowly said: "General Pei, although he has outstanding ability, but he used to be the general of the imperial army, and now he is the right governor of the governor's office, let him go down two levels. To be a second-rank general, I'm afraid he will feel uncomfortable."

  The Emperor said with a smile: "He has been out of work for more than two years, and he is going crazy in the governor's mansion. Now let alone a second-rank general, just let him take a Zhechong mansion, I am afraid he will bow his head and agree."

  The Marquis of Jing An said solemnly, "He promised it was his."

"According to the meaning of the minister, General Pei can go to lead the Youying, but his rank is higher. Your Majesty can give him a military officer from the first rank and let him also serve as the general of the right camp of the forbidden army, so that General Pei can , you will be convinced by His Majesty.”

  The emperor nodded and smiled: "It's still Chang'an, you are very thoughtful."

   "Then do what you want, Chang'an, and I'll add another official to him later."

  Li Xin got up and said goodbye again.

   "Everything is over, the minister is leaving..."

  The emperor did not keep him this time, and let him slowly withdraw from the Weiyang Palace.

  The emperor sat alone on the throne in the study, looking at Li Xin's distant back with complicated eyes.

  The Marquis of Jing'an, who left Weiyang Palace, was also a little complicated at this time.

This time, he proposed the "Northern Expedition" in order to divert the attention of Emperor Taikang, and at the same time put the eyes of the state machine to the north. After three or five years, another war will start again.

  At that time, whether it is the Ye family or the Chong family, as well as the Li family, the upstart of the court, will be involved.

Although Li Xin was the driving force behind this matter, he was not at all sure what direction the matter would eventually develop. Faith can coexist peacefully with the Son of Heaven.

   When he thought of this, he had already walked out of Yonganmen and got into Chen Shiliu's carriage.

   After getting on the carriage, Li Xin slowly exhaled.

   "Don't go home, go to Duke Chen's mansion."
