How to fight on the battlefield has nothing to do with the emperor, Li Xin asked this sentence, not to ask how to fight the tactics in front of the Taikang Emperor, but to ask the Son of Heaven, the imperial court's attitude towards southern Xinjiang.

In other words, how should the imperial court deal with southern Xinjiang in the general direction.

The Son of Heaven frowned and said, "Chang'an, what do you mean?" ”

Li Xin lowered his eyebrows slightly.

"What the minister means is that once there is a big chaos in the southwest, what kind of attitude should the imperial court have towards southern Xinjiang."

The Son of Heaven lowered his head and thought about it, and then slowly spoke.

"If you can, don't die on a large scale."

The Son of Heaven sighed.

"Pingnan Hou Mansion has been in operation for 30 years, and southern Xinjiang has indeed become a climate, if you come with them, even if you win, at least the hundreds of thousands of people in the right battalion of the forbidden army will be difficult to come back, these are all my people."

The Son of Heaven took a deep breath and continued: "If I really want to fight, I will not be afraid of them, but if there is an opportunity to take advantage of it, I am willing to take advantage of it. ”

Li Xin said in a low voice: "What is the trick? ”

The Son of Heaven was silent for a while, and then said: "For example, you can start with those remnants of Nanshu and let them abandon the darkness and turn to the light, and for example, start from the eldest brother, as long as the eldest brother is not in southern Xinjiang, the Pingnan army will not be afraid, and they can be slowly consumed." ”

In fact, there is still a third situation, that is, the surrender of the Pingnan Army, but in this case, the possibility of the surrender of the Pingnan Army is not very likely, after all, the flag has been erected, and everyone knows that there is no way to survive in surrender.

On the whole, the attitude of the Son of Heaven is still obvious, that is, to try to take southern Xinjiang at the lowest cost.

This is a matter of course, after all, the current Great Jin Dynasty court, if you want to gnaw down the southern Xinjiang, if you are tough, all the right battalions of a forbidden army will be put in, and eighty percent of the left battalion of the forbidden army will also participate in the war, and the defense of the capital will be hollowed out at that time.

If you bite it, you will have to break a few teeth yourself.

This is one of the reasons why Emperor Wu and Emperor Chengde did not attack southern Xinjiang for two generations.

Li Xin bowed his head slightly, and said in a deep voice: "So, the minister understands." ”

"In addition to this, the minister thinks there is another thing to do."

The Son of Heaven said in a deep voice: "You say." ”

"The speech of the world must be in the hands of the imperial court."

Jing'an Hou lowered his eyebrows and said: "According to Your Majesty, the southern Xinjiang side is using speech to build momentum for the abolished prince, this momentum is very dangerous, if everyone in the world thinks that the abolished prince is orthodox, then the southern Xinjiang really has the ability to threaten the imperial court, so the imperial court must send troops over on the one hand, and on the other hand, it must actively control speech, for example, those Northern Zhou clans, must let them stand on His Majesty's side and speak for His Majesty." ”

The Son of Heaven smiled.

"This I am clear, Yang Yu of the Hongnong Yang clan and the people of the Boling Cui clan have agreed to write a letter for me to beg for thieves, and it will be spread to the world in a few days."

Li Xin nodded.

"In this way, the minister will be relieved."

After Li Xin paused, he continued: "Your Majesty, these Northern Zhou clans can not be killed, but they must not be officials anymore, my Great Jin Dynasty has been fighting against the clan for several generations, and when it comes to Your Majesty's generation, they should be completely buried in the mud, and they must not be allowed to resurrect again." ”

"This is natural."

Taikang Tianzi put away the smile on his face and became serious.

"They turned their backs on the court first, it should have been the end of the clan, but for the sake of their usefulness, to save their lives for the time being, I have already ordered the officials that all these people from the Northern Zhou clan shall not be officials within three generations."

This one is very ruthless.

The family must have someone in each generation to carry the burden of the family, as long as there is a generation of people who can't be officials, they will be green and yellow, three generations can't be officials, the wall will fall down and everyone will push it, three generations later, to say the least, there will be fifty years, fifty years is enough for them to lie in the grave and swallow their last breath.

The two of them seemed to have returned to their original days in the Wei Palace, and began to talk about the court situation wantonly, until it was almost dark in the evening, when the ninth princess came back from Kunde Palace to remind Li Xin, Li Xin came back to his senses and got up to say goodbye to the Son of Heaven.

The Son of Heaven smiled: "It's been a long time since I've had such a long conversation with Chang'an, and when I'm free in the future, I'll also go to visit your Jing'an Hou Mansion." ”

Li Xin said respectfully: "The minister must welcome the holy driver." ”

The Son of Heaven stretched his waist, sat up from the chair, and said lazily: "I am a little tired, so I won't send you away, Xiao Zheng, send a gift to Jing'anhou and the eldest princess for me." ”

Xiao Zheng immediately nodded and walked in front of Li Xin to lead the way.

While walking on the road, Li Xin took the Ninth Princess with one hand, turned to look at the young inner eunuch, and asked with a smile, "Grandpa Xiao, how is Grandpa Chen now?" ”

"Okay."

Xiao Zheng got married a few days ago and took a lot of benefits from Li Xin, and he was still a little trembling when facing Li Xin at this time.

"Gonggong Chen, his old man, guards the imperial mausoleum for the first emperor, His Majesty also likes him, and specially asked the Ministry of Industry to set up a house next to the imperial mausoleum, and the old man enjoys Qingfu in the house."

Speaking of this, Xiao Zheng sighed with some envy.

"Those of us who enter the palace as slaves and maids, if we can have a result like Gonggong Chen in our lifetime, it will be a positive result."

This sentence is true, the deformed structure of eunuchs is very difficult to mix, firstly, it is difficult to get out, and secondly, it is difficult to die well after coming out, if you can be like Chen Ju, you can have a clean place when you are old in one or two decades, that is the ultimate goal of all eunuchs.

Li Xin smiled and didn't say anything more.

"If Gonggong Chen doesn't return to the palace, then the position of the eunuch in this room will be none other than Gonggong Xiao."

Xiao Zheng waved his hand again and again.

"Don't you dare to think about it, Master Hou, you don't want to make fun of the slave."

While they were talking, the three of them had already arrived at the gate of Yong'an, and Xiao Zheng saluted the two of them and said, "Master Hou, eldest princess, there is still something in the slave palace, so I will send you here." ”

While helping the Ninth Princess into the carriage, Li Xin turned around and said with a smile: "There is Lao Xiao's father-in-law." ”

Xiao Zheng gradually left.

The carriage of the Marquis of Jing'an also started slowly.

Li Xin and the Ninth Princess sat in the carriage, and because of the cold, Li Xin added one or two pieces of charcoal to the stove.

The Ninth Princess sat beside Li Xin, took Li Xin's hand and asked, "What are you doing inquiring about those pickled things in the palace?" ”

Li Xin was stunned, then touched her head, and said with a smile: "This inner palace eight eunuchs, sometimes no worse than the six departments of the imperial court, if you want to survive well in the capital, you have to know a little more people, otherwise when things come to an end, your eyes will be black." ”

The eldest princess hugged Li Xin's arm and snorted lightly: "It's useless for these people to know each other, they can't be raised." ”

The ninth princess didn't understand Li Xin's behavior of befriending the eunuchs.

Because in her opinion, these people are just domestic slaves, no matter how they are.

But for Li Xin, these are all network resources.

He has no foundation in the capital, so he can only do his best to know all the people worth knowing.

Maybe one day, it will come in handy.

"It doesn't matter if you are familiar with it or not, get to know it, when it is critical, they just don't bite us."
