Unparalleled Concubine

   Chapter 975 Contaminated with cold air

In the eighth year of Taikang, after Pei Jin conquered the southwest and Li Xin rushed back from Jizhou to the southwest to help Hanzhou, the Jingan Houfu began to separate from the imperial court. The prime minister, and later the emperor Yuanzhao, regarded Li Xin as a careerist.

  In their eyes, Li Xin is probably a man who has been conspiring to rebel since the Chengde Dynasty and wants to sit on the throne at all costs.

   Even in Ningling a while ago, even Ye Lin had some such thoughts in his heart.

In fact, Li Xin was an ordinary white-collar worker in his last life. He struggled for more than ten years but was barely able to squeeze into the middle class. He is not a big man, let alone a genius. In the first few years of his arrival in this world, he was also Stumbled, ignorantly groping.

   To say that he has something that is far superior to ordinary people, it is probably due to the sales work in the previous life, a little eloquence that he has developed, and some ability to manipulate people's hearts.

In this world, people who are smarter than him abound, from Ye Sheng, to Chengde emperor Ji Man, and now Zhao Jia sitting opposite Li Xin, each of these people is stronger than the ordinary person Li Xin. out a lot.

   He is an ordinary person, and he was able to get to where he is today, half by luck, and the other half by his chance.

   Of course, with the situation at this point, Li Xin is no longer just himself, he represents the will of the entire Southwest, and the will of this large group sometimes pushes him forward.

  For example, it is impossible for the current southwest to coexist peacefully with the imperial court, and there will be a battle in the future. Li Xin wants to fight this battle, and he has to fight if he doesn't want to.

   However, even at this point, Li Xin frowned slightly after hearing Zhao Jia's words.

   He said slowly: "Brother You'an, if the northern part of the Great Jin Dynasty is caught in a war, and the Xianbei aliens break through and enter, if we raise troops at this time, even if we occupy the capital, we will be reviled by all the Xia descendants in the world."

Zhao Jia shook his head and said, "Master Hou, what the imperial court looks like now, you know better than me, although I have been in the southwest for the past four years, I have read all the documents published by the imperial court. It is far inferior to the previous emperor."

"The matter of conferring the imperial seal on King Yan for the Yuwen Department is a dispute between the imperial court and the prince, and it is understandable. Let's put it aside for the time being, but now, under the circumstance that there is a clear change in the northern Xinjiang, the emperor actually changed his generals and removed the management of Jimen. The Ye family who have been locked up for decades!"

   "Master Hou thinks that if the Xianbei people enter the customs, does our emperor have the ability to drive them out again?"

  Li Xin did not speak.

   Zhao Jia asked and answered himself, and continued: "Mostly it's impossible."

   "Since the Son of Heaven can't rule the world, then the Lord Hou will rule the world for him."

  Li Xin was silent for a while, then asked, "How many people are in the Southwest Army now?"

   Zhao Jia is from the Southwest Jinglue. Naturally, he knows this kind of thing. Hearing the words, he said without hesitation: "167,400 people."

"The total number of troops deployed by the imperial court in Hanzhong is 100,000, plus Pei Jin's 50,000 in Ankang, and the total is 150,000. Now that the southwest is out of Shu, even if you can win these two troops, you can still how much is left?"

"half?"

   When asked such a professional question, Zhao Jia wisely shut up and looked at Li Shuo, who had been sitting on the side without speaking.

Li Shuo lowered his head and said, "Brother Hui, half of it should be left over. In the past few years, Jincheng has produced a lot of Tianlei, and the younger brother and General Mu have trained a lot of tactics to cooperate with Tianlei according to the brother's request. In the face of the forbidden army, the Southwest Army also has a chance of winning, not to mention that Ye Lin is not in Hanzhong now, and the troops and horses in Hanzhong are led by Xie Jing."

"A few days ago, General Mu and I went to see the vicinity of Hanzhong. Xie Jing's leadership is far inferior to that of Ninglinghou. Now that I have given my brother 50,000 soldiers and horses, plus enough thunder, I will have the confidence to defeat Hanzhong head-on. military!"

Li Xin nodded and was about to discuss the follow-up, when Shen Gang, with a beard on his face, ran over from outside panting, he walked over to Li Xin, bowed his head and said, "Master Hou, people from the capital are coming in. The county seat, it should be the **** in the palace, and now he has gone straight to the Houye's mansion!"

   "Eunuch?"

  The Marquis of Jing'an asked, "What color are you wearing?"

   "Master Hui, purple."

  The inner court has a strict hierarchy, and there are strict regulations on the color of clothes. For example, only the eunuchs of the eight prisons in the inner court are qualified to wear red clothes, while the purple clothes are worn by the young prisoners of the eight prisons.

   In other words, this time it was a young prisoner.

   "It looks like an old friend is here."

  Li Xin got up from under the pavilion, turned around and smiled at the two of them: "The two of you will wait here for a while, I will deal with the imperial decree, and then I will accompany you to drink."

   "Master Hou, please."

After saying that, he got up and left the backyard and waited in the main hall of the front yard. After about half an hour, the imperial decree arrived at the door of Li's house. Li Xin got up, walked to the door of his house, looked up at the man in purple clothes. the eunuch.

   is indeed an acquaintance.

  The adopted son of the great **** Xiao Zheng, Xiao Huai, the inner servant and the young supervisor.

   Li Xin smiled, stepped forward and said to Xiao Huai, "Eunuch Xiao Xiao ran for a trip in person?"

Xiao Huai was the inner court supervisor many years ago. Although he is not young, he can be ranked in the top three in the inner court in terms of power. There are even rumors in the capital that Xiao Zheng, because of his busy affairs and lack of energy, put the Plum Blossom Guards in the capital. Handed over to this adopted son in custody.

  Xiao Huai was a few years younger than Li Xin. Hearing this, he immediately lowered his head and said respectfully, "Slave Xiao Huai, please give my grand master your peace."

  Li Xin half-squinted his eyes and said with a smile, "Eunuch Xiao came to me in the mountains and fields, I don't know if it is?"

   Xiao Huai raised his head, his face serious.

   "There is an imperial edict."

  Li Xin restrained his smile and said, "The angel will wait a moment, I will greet the family, burn incense and set up a case, and welcome the imperial decree."

   "Don't be so grand."

   Xiao Huai quickly waved his hand and said, "Your Majesty said it, Lord Hou can just listen to it himself."

  Li Xin didn't even think about disturbing his family, so he opened his mouth with a smile.

   "Then Eunuch Xiao will do it."

   Xiao Huai nodded, took out the imperial edict from the box held by the little **** behind him, unfolded it, and read it over with a serious expression.

   Li Xin didn't bother to kneel either. He lowered his head slightly and listened to Xiao Huai's reading of the imperial decree, and then his expression changed slightly and he frowned, "The Yuwen Department of Northern Xinjiang has really changed. I knew early on that Yuwenzhao is a wolf child with ambitions."

Xiao Huai put away the imperial decree, put it back in the box and handed it to Li Xin, then sighed deeply: "Teacher, now King Yan is about to move in the north, His Majesty has no one available in Beijing, there is really no way to do it. Let the slaves and maids come to Yongzhou from a long distance to disturb Taifu Jingyang."

   "His Majesty said that as long as the Taifu is willing to go back to Beijing, the Taifu will lead the forbidden army to the north. At that time, all military affairs in the northern Xinjiang will be controlled by the Taifu."

Li Xin didn't answer, after he put the imperial edict on the table, put his hands in his sleeves, turned around and sighed at Xiao Huai: "It's not because Li Xin doesn't want to contribute to the country, it's just that he went to the capital when he was young. Looking for relatives, I was infected with the cold, and I am still afraid of the cold. When the weather is cold, I feel pain all over my body.
