Unparalleled Concubine

   Chapter 974 Opportunity

Mu Ying, Zhao Jia, and Li Shuo are all giants in the southwest now. Anyone who stomps their feet in the thirty-one state capitals in the southwest will feel the tremor, but the authority of these three people does not come from the nameless Shu. The palace, but all came from Li Xin.

Therefore, these three people must surround Li Xin closely, and try to get in touch with Li Xin. Mu Ying's son, Li Xiu, the king of Shu, has recognized Li Xin as a righteous man many years ago. Father, although Zhao Jia is a scholar, he has to make plans for future generations. His conversation with Li Xin just now seemed to be a joke, but it was not a joke at all.

   He wanted his son to marry Li Xin's eldest daughter and be his son-in-law.

  Li Xin refused, Zhao Jia took the next step, and wanted his son to recognize this foster father.

   This is a very normal thing. After all, among the three people in the southwest, Zhao Jia is the only one who does not command the army. He must make the tie between himself and the Jingan Houfu tighter.

   Sometimes, these naked interests are not easy to say directly, and can only be hidden in jokes, and this major event that will determine the future pattern of the Southwest is also decided in a few words.

Both Zhao Jia and Mu Ying's sons recognized Li Xin as their adoptive father. As for Li Shuo, he doesn't need to be so troublesome. He is Li Xin's brother, and there are too few Li family members. The family must be settled in the southwest, and this branch of Li Shuo will become the military foundation of the Li family in the southwest.

After greeting the two people into the house, Li Xincai frowned and ordered Shen Gang: "Let the brothers keep an eye on the people in the imperial court, and pay close attention to all the movements in Qiyang County. If there is any trouble, report it to me immediately. What kind of suspicious person is directly killed and thrown into Qishan!"

   Li Shuo and Zhao Jia, it can be said that most of the southwest, they came from Jincheng to Yongzhou, they took a risk, no matter what happened to these two people.

  Shen Gang bowed his head respectfully: "This subordinate understands."

  Li Xin paused, then ordered: "Those who are staring at the imperial court will inform me after the imperial decree enters the county seat."

"Yes!"

  Shen Gang lowered his head and went down to work.

   After Li Xin arranged things, he walked into his house with his hands behind his back. At this time, the servants had almost prepared the meal. Li Xin brought out his only son, Li Ping, and saluted Zhao Jia and Li Shuo.

Li Ping was born in Taikang for eight years, and he is now six years old. He has a sweet mouth. He calls Zhao Jia his uncle and Li Shuo his uncle. After hearing this, these two people are very happy, and they are all over the place. Things, give Li Ping as a gift.

   After teasing Li Ping for a while, Zhao Jia opened his mouth and smiled at Li Xin: "If there is nothing wrong with the southwest, I will resign from the official position of this Jinglue envoy and go to Lord Hou's house to be a Mr. Xixi and teach the young master to read."

  Li Xin shook his head and smiled: "Brother You'an, I can't afford this Xixi. You really stayed with me as Mr. Xixi, and Mu Ying will probably come to me desperately."

   Zhao Jia laughed.

   "The young master has a bright mind and looks like Lord Hou. He will definitely achieve a great career in the future."

Li Xin has only one son, the heir of the Marquis of Jing'an, but now the situation is like this, and this heir is not just that simple. Whether it's Zhao Jia or Li Shuo, his attitude towards Li Ping is very similar to that of others. Different.

   This is the young master of the southwest. If Li Houye's career goes well in the future, this little prince...

After a group of juniors saluted, the food was almost arranged. There was a large table of people in the Li house, and a group of people sat together and had a good meal. After the meal, it was already afternoon, and the next person packed When the dishes were being prepared, Li Xin led Zhao Jia and Li Shuo to the backyard. The three of them sat under the pavilion. Li Xin personally brought them a cup of tea for each of them.

Li Shuo was still a little restrained in front of Li Xin, and he was quite well-behaved, but Zhao Jia and Li Xin were old acquaintances, so he had to relax a lot. What was the harvest of the trip to Ningling?"

   Lord Jingan frowned.

   "This trip to Ningling. The original intention was to pay homage to Brother Ye, but Brother You'an said the harvest, which is a bit tacky."

Zhao Jia shook his head and said, "I heard about it in Jincheng. The imperial court expelled the fourth master Ye from Hanzhong, and did not let Ye Guogong leave the capital and return to Jimen Pass. Obviously, he has already started to attack the Ye family. At this time When Lord Hou goes to Ningling, it's impossible not to say anything?"

   Li Xin poured himself a cup of tea, took a sip, and sighed: "If you can't say it, you can't persuade it."

"As I see it, at the beginning of next year or the middle of the year, the Xianbei troops in the north will definitely make some moves. In recent years, Yuwenzhao's strength has grown stronger and stronger. Once they attack Jizhou City, I am worried that the Zhenbei Army will not be able to resist, so I told Ye Mao and Senior Brother Ye that if the Zhenbei Army can't stop it, they can retreat first."

   Having said this, Li Xin smiled helplessly.

   "Senior Brother Ye is very unhappy when he hears this. What he means is that regardless of whether the leader of the Zhenbei Army is the Ye family or not, the Zhenbei Army will fight to the death at Jimen Pass."

   "The Ye family is unwilling to be the door opener of Dajin."

   "That's not surprising."

Zhao Jia poured himself a cup of tea, took a sip, frowned and said, "The old man swept the Northern Zhou Dynasty in the North, and the Ye family was regarded as the nemesis of the Xianbei people. With the reputation of the old man and the trust of thousands of people, At this time, Lord Hou asked them not to confront them, but they naturally refused."

   said, Zhao Jia looked at Li Xin and asked, "What do you mean, Lord Hou?"

   "No one wants to see the life of the northern land go to waste."

Li Xin sighed: "I have written to the imperial court more than once, saying that the hidden dangers in the northern Xinjiang will be eliminated, but today, the serious problem has finally developed, and now the Yuwen Department is going all out to attack Jizhou City or Yunzhou City, even at the cost of human life. Under the circumstances, there is a 70-80% chance that you can get in."

   "If they can come in once, there will be a second and third, and then the north will be in chaos."

   "To be honest, I also want to help the Zhenbei Army, but I'm in the southwest, and I can't help them."

   Zhao Jia shook his head.

   "The matter is not as serious as Hou Ye thought."

"With the current strength of the Xianbei Ministry, they may be able to break through the barrier, but whether it's Jimen Pass or Yunzhou City, they have to peel off a layer of skin if they want to come over. Even if they come in, they won't be able to stay for long. It won't take long before you go back out of the gate by yourself."

   Today's Xianbei Ministry may have the ability to cause chaos in one place, but they don't have the capital to compete in the world. They can't start sieging the city and looting when they enter the customs.

   This is the normal state of the nomads towards the Central Plains Dynasty. From a macro perspective, the Xianbei Ministry is equivalent to a giant wasp, stinging you from time to time.

   Having said that, Zhao Jia glanced at Li Xin, and then said slowly: "The chaos in the north is a great thing for the southwest."

   "As long as the Yuwen Department enters the customs, the imperial court will spend a lot of energy on the Yuwen Department. At that time, I may be able to try to go out of the southwest."

The scholar in white looked at Li Xin, and said quietly: "Master Hou, the loyal Ye family admires, but the old man who made great contributions has been locked in the yard for thirty or forty years. You also saw it with your own eyes. been there."
