Unparalleled Concubine

   Chapter 778 Conquering a different surname king!

   To be honest, it was not easy for the family of the Hou family of Jing’an to leave the city, at least not as easy as he said.

   During this period of time in the capital, not only Tianmujian, but even Meihuawei's people were staring at the Jing'an Marquis Mansion. Even if he had a tunnel and could get out of Yonglefang, it would be difficult for him to leave the capital.

Fortunately, in the past few years, these people supported by Li Xin have a clear identity, spread all walks of life, more than 100 people worked together, and it took ten days to get the eldest princess and others. Li Xin's sons and daughters were sent out of the capital.

During this period, Li Xin hid everyone. In order to keep it a secret, even the servants of Jing'an Hou's mansion didn't know that his mistress and the young lady had left the mansion. So far, he thought they were still living in the courtyard in the backyard. , but was ill and did not want to see anyone.

   Everyday meals are delivered as normal.

As for Li Xin, he can't go out of the city with the eldest princess. He is the biggest target of the imperial court. I don't know how many people are watching him. Every day, he deliberately walks to the door of his house and shows himself in front of Qianniuwei. face, to "cover" his wife and children out of the city.

  After the wife and children leave the city, there are many places to go. The forces that Li Xin cultivated in the past five years have enough ability to protect them.

   And they are not in the capital, not under the control of the emperor, then Li Xin's weakness will not exist.

   He raised his neck and waited for Taikang's butcher's knife.

   seems to be asking for death, but it is actually a provocation.

   He was certain that the emperor would not dare to kill him.

   He is a hero of the country and even a representative figure among the military generals of the Great Jin Dynasty. If he was killed for no reason, not to mention how the government and the opposition would talk, it would even arouse the dissatisfaction of the military.

   Especially the dissatisfaction of the Ye family.

At this time, the southwest was already in chaos, and the emperor was not even sure to take back the southwest soon. In this case, once Li Xin died inexplicably, the entire Jin Dynasty would be in chaos, and the influence of the Ji family's royal family might plummeted.

  The dynasty will even turn from prosperity to decline!

  In those days, the emperor of Chengde refused to kill Li Shen because he was afraid that his national strength would be damaged, but now if the emperor of Taikang killed Li Xin, it would not only be as simple as a loss of national strength, but would even shake the country’s capital!

   In the face of such important family affairs, unless the emperor is stunned, he will soon make the right decision.

  The Son of Heaven finally fell silent.

He waved his hand and signaled all the palace staff in the study to step down. Then he personally moved a chair and put it beside Li Xin, then turned around and moved a chair for himself, put it on the opposite side of Li Xin, and took a deep breath. After that, he sat down in a chair.

  The emperor raised his head and looked at Li Xin.

   He was silent for a moment, then let out a sigh of relief.

   "Say, what do you want?"

   This is to negotiate with Li Xin.

The    Emperor knew very well that at this time, as long as Li Xin said a word, the Southwest could be stabilized. He asked what conditions he meant by this sentence, so that Li Xin could take action to pacify the Southwest.

   Li Xin was not pretentious either. He sat down opposite the emperor carelessly. He looked at the emperor in front of him with a calm expression.

   "Your Majesty will be wrong, it is never what the minister wants to do, but what does His Majesty want to do?"

   "If Your Majesty does not send someone to fight Hanzhou, there will be no future events."

Having said this, Li Xin paused and continued: "Even after the incident in Hanzhou, there is still room to turn around. Hanzhou is willing to recruit security to surrender, but the minister did not pretend that nothing happened, and set off back to Beijing from Mediation, at this time, the court opened one eye and closed the other, recruited Mu Ying, and this matter passed, but His Majesty did not choose to turn a blind eye, but insisted on arguing with the minister."

  The emperor was expressionless.

   "Without that thing, I can naturally open one eye and close the other, but you have such a powerful weapon, but you lied to me for five years, how can I ignore it?"

   "Five years."

  The Emperor let out a sigh of turbidity and said in a muffled voice: "Five years ago, you handed this thing over to me. Now, let's not talk about the Yuwen tribes in the north, even the Tubo in the west, I should also take it down!"

   "I have always regarded you as a brother before, but you treat me like this. It's okay not to be with me. You actually gave this thing to those rebels in the southwest!"

  The Marquis of Jing'an lowered his eyebrows and said, "Your Majesty, the people of Hanzhou, if you don't treat them as rebels, they are the people of the Great Jin Dynasty. If you think about it, the court forced them to rebel."

Emperor Taikang's face was a little unsightly, he said with a gloomy face, "Don't you come to preach to me, this game is your Li Changan winning, I also admit defeat, you say, what do you want, Southwest can do it? calm down?"

  Li Xin shook his head.

   "Southwest can't return to the way it used to be."

He was silent for a while, then continued: "Tell Your Majesty a few heartfelt words, Your Majesty said that I raised Hanzhou's army as a private soldier, this is wrong, the minister does have contacts with Hanzhou, but It is limited to communication, no one can remotely control an army from thousands of miles away."

   "Hanzhou's army is managed by the Mu family, and the Mu family has the final say. They may listen to the minister's words, but it is impossible to listen to all of them."

   "At this time, the chaos in the southwest has already occurred. Unless the imperial court is willing to use the forbidden army to quell the rebellion in the southwest, it will be difficult to pacify the southwest side."

Having said this, Li Xin paused and continued: "And even if the imperial court intervenes, it will only fall into a quagmire. The Mu family in Hanzhou is very different from the Pingnan Army. The Pingnan Army is a foreigner who entered Shu. And the Mu family are down-to-earth Shu people, and the people in the southwest agree that their speed will be very fast."

  The Emperor looked at Li Xin and smiled coldly.

   "Speaking of the Pingnan Army, your Lord Li deliberately let go of tens of thousands of Pingnan Army, probably just waiting for today?"

Li Xin got up and bowed to the emperor: "Your Majesty, this is the end of the matter, you can hate me and blame me, but there was absolutely nothing wrong with the Western Expedition Army back then. At that time, the Pingnan Army was at the end of the road and was trapped in Jincheng. Chen and General Ye will take them to the right camp of the forbidden army in the southwest, not to mention that the casualties are completely exhausted, at least ten to seven or eight!"

   "That's why the minister agreed to let the southern army go out of the city."

   "Until today, neither minister nor Hanzhou have contacted this Pingnan Army scattered all over the southwest. His Majesty's words are too chilling."

  The emperor didn't say a word, but the expression on his face was obvious. He didn't believe a word of Li Xin's words.

   "You said the condition is that I will do it if I can answer you."

  Li Xin sighed slightly and said, "When Your Majesty recruited An Muying, it would have been a third-rank official at most. Now that His Majesty wants to settle down in the southwest, I am afraid that a different surnamed King of Shu will come out."

   "The King of Shu?"

  The emperor's face was gloomy, and he said angrily: "Focus on Muying?"

The Dajin Ji family has always been quite stingy about the title. Take Li Xin as an example. He has made so many credits, and now he is only the Marquis of Jing'an. Ye Sheng, Ye old man, is the only one in Dajin for nearly a hundred years. A different surname.

   There has never been a precedent for a king with a different surname.

   "Naturally it's not for Mu Ying."

Li Xin looked calm and said, "As far as the minister knows, this time Mu Ying and the others erected a flag to rebel, and they erected the banner of Chenghan, that is, the state of Nanshu, and they set up a clan of Chenghan. Lord, Your Majesty has given this lord the title of King of Shu, and if the Southwest accepts it, it will be considered a success in recruiting security."

  The emperor's face was ugly.

   "Since the founding of the Great Jin Dynasty, there has never been a king with a different surname..."
