Unparalleled Concubine

   Chapter 777 If you want to add a crime, do it!

   This sentence means gnashing of teeth.

Although Li Xin did not collude with the remaining Pingnan Army, but from the emperor's side, it was almost inevitable. At this time, Emperor Taikang not only thought that Li Xin colluded with the Pingnan Army, he even thought about it. I also thought... How did you win when you marched to the west?

With a mere 40,000 to 50,000 troops, Li Xin inserted into the hinterland of the Pingnan Army, divided the tyrannical Pingnan Army into two and defeated them one by one. Later, he contacted the survivors of Nanshu, which took just two years. In time, the southwest was taken back to the imperial court!

   At that time, it seemed that Li Houye was naturally the credit for Potian, but at this time, when he contacted those remaining Pingnan troops, Emperor Taikang sat on the dragon chair, but his heart shuddered.

   Several questions that made him shudder came to mind.

  Did the imperial court really pacify the southwest five years ago?

   How many people died in the original Pingnan Army?

   He slowly closed his eyes, his hands trembling slightly.

even…

   Is Li Shen dead?

All these things had already been revealed to the world. At this time, when the information about the rebirth of troubles in the southwest was transmitted back to the capital, it suddenly became a fog. Emperor Taikang opened his eyes and glanced at him drinking calmly not far away. Li Xin, who was eating vegetables, had a slight trembling in his voice.

   "Xiao Zheng..."

  Eunuch Xiao immediately bowed his head: "The slave is here."

   "You... go to Zhaoling."

   "When Li Shen died on a hill next to Zhaoling, you go to Zhaoling, find Chen Ju, and ask him..."

   "Is Li Shen dead?"

  Xiao Zheng shuddered when he heard the words of the Son of Heaven. He hurriedly lowered his head and bowed: "This servant will go..."

   said, he quickly left the Weiyang Palace and left the palace overnight.

The emperor in the main hall, after drinking several sips of wine in a row, managed to calm down a little, then slowly stood up from the dragon chair, with a smile on his face, and said with a smile to the hundred officials below. : "Zhu Qing, I'm a little too drunk, I can't accompany Zhu Qing, everyone, let's have a good time, I will go back to the back hall to rest first."

   The rules in the wine field are that you can't persuade the leader to persuade anyone to drink wine, especially the boss's wine. The big boss said that he couldn't drink it, and the officials below immediately got up and sent the emperor to each other.

   Li Xin also stood up and sent the emperor.

   But before the emperor left, he did not forget Li Xin, and said slowly: "Li Taibao, I have some private things to tell you, you come with me."

   Li Xin laughed dumbly, raised his head and drank the last sip of spirits in the cup, stood up from the chair very smartly, followed behind the emperor, and walked towards the apse.

  The apse of Weiyang Palace is actually the emperor's bedroom. At the same time, the emperor's study is also in the apse. The emperor walked in front, Li Xin followed behind him, and the two entered the study one after the other.

   As soon as Li Xin entered the study, he saw the Son of Heaven standing less than ten steps in front of him.

  A dozen inner guards with swords were standing on both sides, their right hands were already pressing on the hilt of the sword.

  The emperor's face was cold.

   "You think I dare not kill you? If I say a word now, you will be killed!"

  Li Xin tucked his hands into his sleeves, his face calm.

   "Why did Your Majesty kill me?"

  The emperor gritted his teeth.

   "Southwest Muying has raised a flag to rebel, don't you, Li Changan, know?"

   Li Xin shrugged his shoulders.

   "I really don't know. After I was released from the Dali Temple by His Majesty, I kept myself locked in my house, and I never went out. I didn't know anything about the outside world."

Having said that, Li Xin said indifferently: "Besides, Mu Ying is in trouble, what does he have to do with the minister, he used to serve in Yulinwei, but that was already five or six years ago, the first minister is not his boss, and the second is not surnamed. Mu, even if the nine clans were executed, the minister could not be executed, why did Your Majesty blame me?"

  The emperor's face was ugly, he stepped forward and grabbed Li Xin's front, and said angrily: "You are still pretending to be garlic. How many troops does Mu Ying have? Without your support, how could he dare to act like this?"

   "Maybe it's because he's not afraid of death?"

   Li Xin said quietly: "Besides, as far as the minister knows, it was Hanzhou City that the imperial court attacked first, and Mu Ying led the people to defend it. Afterwards, he immediately sent a request to the imperial court to ask for peace."

   He looked up at the Son of Heaven and said slowly, "But the court has never responded to his recruiting documents."

   "In this case, it seems natural for Mu Ying to raise a flag to rebel."

Li Xin took a deep breath and continued: "Even if Mu Ying is heinous and deserves a thousand cuts, it is also Mu Ying's fault. Your Majesty is angry, so you can send troops to go west again and capture Mu Ying in the capital. Even if it's too late, his ministers have no opinion."

   "But, what is the crime of the minister?"

Li Xin looked up at the Emperor and said with a smile: "Yes, Your Majesty probably thinks that the minister should die, so there is no need to find so many reasons. Now that the minister is in His Majesty's study, His Majesty directly asked the inner guard to kill the minister. Afterwards, put a dagger in the hand of the minister and say to the outside world that the minister intends to kill the monarch, which is much more useful than Mu Ying's accusation."

   said, Li Houye closed his eyes, raised his neck slightly, and his tone was calm.

   "Come on, Your Majesty, I am waiting for you to kill."

  The Son of Heaven looked gloomy.

   "Li Changan, don't rely on the turmoil in the southwest to be unscrupulous here. Although I can't kill you now, I have a way to treat you!"

   said, he waved his hand to give an order, Li Xin with his hands in his sleeves smiled slightly: "Is your majesty trying to arrest the family of the minister?"

  The emperor was expressionless and did not answer.

   Li Xin continued with a smile and said, "Your Majesty didn't find out that today's New Year's Eve, did the minister enter the palace alone?"

"Your Majesty also knows that this minister is a prudent person. After the last time Dali Temple suffered a loss, how could the minister be unprepared? At this time, except for some servants, the rest of the family members are no longer in the capital. already."

  The king is like a tiger.

Li Xin knew this for a long time, so from the day he became a high-ranking official in the capital, he never completely let down his guard. .

   For example, tunnels and the like.

   For nearly eight years, Li Xin dug more than a dozen tunnels under the Jing'an Hou Mansion, several of which could leave Yongle Square and lead to other squares.

It is worth mentioning that when Li Xin was digging these tunnels, he found a lot of tunnels that had been dug under the Jing'an Hou's Mansion. Thinking that this Hou's Mansion used to be the fourth prince's mansion, it was obvious that the original Qi's mansion. His Royal Highness Wang has the same thoughts as Li Xin.

Today, the capital is loose on the outside and tight on the inside, and the group of people in the center of power are nervous because of Li Xin's imprisonment, but the life of ordinary people in the capital is not difficult, and the nine gates of the capital are also open, so as long as they can leave Jing'an Houfu, or leaving Yonglefang, if you want to leave the capital, it is not difficult.

   In fact, when Li Xin returned from the Dali Temple to the Jing'an Marquis Mansion, the eldest princess and others were already in the process of transferring, so on the day Li Xin returned home, no family from the Marquis Mansion came out to greet him.

   Having said this, Li Xin showed a bright smile on his face.

  He tilted his head slightly and closed his eyes.

   "If Your Majesty feels that the minister's crime is extremely heinous, you can act now."
