Chapter 173: Plum Blossoms and the Old House

As for the arrangement of the court bureau, Li Xin has carefully prepared.

With his "recommendation" today, after Zhao Jia enters Beijing, he will naturally enter Shangshutai, even if it is not convenient for him to directly do the position of the left servant of Shangshutai, but he is his "Southwest Economic Envoy", no matter where he is in Shangshutai, the scholars in Shangshutai will be very interested in handing over the power to this Jingshutai envoy who is not yet forty years old.

With Zhao Jia pinnagging Shangshutai, Li Xin himself will be in charge of the Dadu Governor's Mansion again, plus some generals and officials in the southwest will enter the imperial court next, and a large part of the power will be taken away from the imperial court, if everything goes well, the key positions in the central court will be held by Li Xin, plus the southwest army will be pressed in Beijing for a few years, at most three years, the entire Great Jin court will be completely controlled by Li Xin from the inside out.

At that time, Li Xin and others could be regarded as really "occupying" the capital.

At the court meeting, Li Xin told the new Son of Heaven about the military affairs of Northern Xinjiang, but the Son of Heaven, who had just ascended the throne, could be said to have nothing to say about Northern Xinjiang, and where could he express any opinions, he could only leave the affairs of Northern Xinjiang to Li Xin to deal with.

Then after the hundred officials worshiped the new Son of Heaven again, this rather simple "enthronement ceremony" came to an end.

Hundreds of civil and military officials left Weiyang Palace one after another.

Li Xin also walked out of Weiyang Palace with these ministers, but he did not leave the palace, but took steps to Changle Palace.

For a long time, Changle Palace was the residence of the Son of Heaven of the Great Jin Dynasty, and it was also the place where the emperor accepted the worship of hundreds of officials, but because Renchen Palace killed too many people, he did not dare to live in Changle Palace after ascending the throne, for fear that his father or ancestor would find him trouble in the middle of the night, so after ascending the throne, he moved the residence of the Son of Taikang to Weiyang Palace, and then the Son of Heaven of Yuan Zhao also lived in Weiyang Palace, which became a practice.

At this time, Changle Palace had been vacant for more than ten years and was uninhabited.

But now, Changle Palace, which has been idle for many years, has ushered in another resident, and after Li Xin walked in, Xiao Zheng, who was dressed in red, immediately came out to greet him, and bowed to Li Xin: "The slave has seen the Metropolitan Governor." ”

Li Xin was slightly stunned, and then smiled dumbly: "Gonggong Xiao is in Changle Palace, and the news is so well-informed, I was only sealed today, and Gonggong Xiao will know." ”

Xiao looked calm, bowed his head and said, "It was the slave who guessed it." ”

He glanced at it quietly and said softly: "It's not difficult to guess, Master Hou, you are a general......

The inner court in the palace, with Tianmu Jian and Meihuawei, is not a weak force, but after the southwest army entered the imperial city, Xiao Zheng has already left it alone, and now Xiao Huai is in charge, but Xiao Huai is also an old servant of Yuan Zhao, and after the new dynasty is a little more stable in the future, Xiao Huai's position will also be done by another person.

As for Xiao Zheng......

Being able to be a great eunuch with two emperors is already remarkable.

The great eunuch who had been in charge of the inner court for more than ten years glanced up at Li Xin, then lowered his head and said in a quiet tone: "Even if the Grand Governor wants to kill His Majesty, he will not be in such a hurry, you must always leave some dignity for Your Majesty and yourself......"

If it is a usurpation of the dynasty, then the emperor of the previous dynasty will kill him if he says he will kill it, but now the southwest army can be regarded as a "rebellion", it can only be regarded as the side of the Qing monarch and the abolition of the emperor.

This kind of thing is generally not too ugly, even if you want to kill the abolished emperor, you will wait for a year or two, and then declare that the abolished emperor "died of a violent illness".

Even if Dong Zhuo killed Liu Bian, it was a year after he deposed the emperor.

Killing people at this time, firstly, they will not be able to get by on the surface, and they will be angered by the hundreds of officials in the capital, and secondly, the people of the world will not be able to get by, which may cause rebellions in various places.

This is the rule of the court, when there is no absolute power to break these rules, you have to act according to these rules, otherwise you will definitely be counterattacked.

If the Southwest Army now has more than 300,000 troops, and all of them are loyal to Li Xin, then General Li should be able to do whatever he wants in the capital, do whatever he wants, be called emperor if he wants to be emperor, and kill people if he wants to kill.

But it's a pity that the number of the Southwest Army is less than 100,000 now, which is not as good as the number of the two battalions of the forbidden army.

"Don't worry, if I kill someone, he won't live today."

Li Xin's face was calm, and he said: "The imperial court has issued an edict to demote the abolished emperor to King Huai, and the Huaiwang Mansion in the capital has been arranged, since His Royal Highness Huaiwang is no longer the Son of Heaven, he should move out of the palace, and I am here today to pick up His Royal Highness Huaiwang out of the palace and move into Huaiwang's Mansion." ”

Xiao Zheng breathed a long sigh of relief, and arched his hand to Li Xin: "The slave begs for your majesty...... His Royal Highness King Huai moved to King Huai's Mansion together. ”

"It's nature."

Li Xin said with a smile: "His Royal Highness King Huai's life in the future will have to be taken care of by Gonggong Xiao." ”

"There's a little bit of a request, though."

Li Xin's face was calm, and he spoke: "Before that, Gonggong Xiao wants to hand over the intelligence agencies of the imperial court with one of my subordinates, such as Meihuawei and the like. ”

"More than 100 years since the founding of the Great Jin Dynasty, I believe that in the dark, there should be more than one plum blossom guard, the documents in the palace are now collected by me, and Gonggong Xiao himself took the initiative to hand them over, everyone can still be safe and sound, if I turn it out in the documents, it may not be so easy to pass."

The power of the Jin Dynasty in the dark is very strong, a single plum blossom guard, it is extremely powerful, even far better than Li Xin's dark department, Li Xin has been assassinated by Meihuawei many times in Yongzhou and southwest over the years, and at least three times his life hangs by a thread, and the dark department under his command is not Meihuawei's opponent at all.

In the end, a group of elite veterans were transferred from the Southwest Army to serve as Li Xin's personal guards, patrolling day and night at twelve o'clock a day, so that Li Xin could escape assassination after assassination.

This agency made Li Xin quite jealous, if he could take over the plum blossom guard and the rest of the secret forces of the imperial court, after he digested the secrets, he would become the most powerful intelligence agency in the world.

Xiao Zheng bowed his head silently: "All the slaves and maids will be handed over to the Grand Governor." ”

While the two of them were talking, Xiao Zheng had already brought Li Xin into the Changle Palace, and the emperor was abolished at this time...... It should be said that His Royal Highness King Huai is kneeling in front of the portraits of the sons of heaven in the side hall of Changle Palace, closing his eyes and repenting.

After Xiao Zheng went in to report, he stood up from the futon, because he had been kneeling for too long, and after turning around and seeing Li Xin, he staggered towards Li Xin.

He was much calmer than yesterday, and said quietly to Li Xin: "The teacher is here." ”

Li Xin nodded: "I'll take His Royal Highness King Huai out of the palace." ”

"The Huaiwang Mansion outside the palace has been prepared, and in Yongle Fang, His Royal Highness is very familiar with this mansion, and he should be able to live in it."

Hearing Li Xin's words, King Huai's face changed, and he already knew where he was going to live.

He looked up at Li Xin, his voice trembling slightly: "Yes...... Wei Wangfu? ”

Li Xin nodded silently.

"It's the Wei Palace."

Wei Wangfu is the hidden residence of the Son of Taikang, he also grew up in the Wei Palace, after the Taikang Emperor ascended the throne, the Wei Palace, as the hidden residence was put aside, no one lived, I did not expect that after more than ten years, the original Prince of Wei's Mansion lived back again.

He was silent for a long time, and finally nodded slowly.

"That's ...... It's good. ”
