In today's capital, although the wind and waves are calm on the surface, in fact, everyone's spirit is in a tense state at all times, and after the people in the southwest series began to move, the officials in the court immediately noticed it.

Everyone reacts differently.

Some people began to try to find out the news from the Jing'an Hou Mansion, and some people began to send money and goods to the officials of the southwest department, hoping to get some accurate information from them, so that they could make their next judgment.

At this juncture, intelligence is the most critical thing, and if intelligence can be one step ahead, then it will be able to move easily and stand tall in the next possible changes.

However, most people had no way to get any news from the Jing'an Hou Mansion to ask the officials of the Southwest First Department, and those people also didn't know anything, only saying that they had received orders from their superiors.

And the palace attendant Zhou Youyi and others, who had been silent for several months, also began to re-active, and under the conspiracy of these people, the second persuasion soon arrived.

At the same time, Mu Ying broke the Xianbei king's tent in northern Xinjiang, and the news that the imperial court was about to establish the Anbei Protectorate in northern Xinjiang also spread in the capital, and the news was very exciting, and for a while, both the officials of the imperial court and the ordinary people in the capital cheered.

The reason is simple.

The strong Northern Zhou Dynasty is not far away from now, many old people, so far with the descendants of the Northern Zhou cavalry, still have lingering palpitations, although the Northern Zhou Dynasty has been destroyed for fifty years, but the Xianbei people have not been destroyed, and even in the Northern Xinjiang slowly become bigger, many Jin people are worried about when, the Xianbei people once again entered the pass, rebuild the Northern Zhou.

Of course, in recent years, the Xianbei people have indeed entered the pass several times, the most serious is the one with Yu Wenzhao, if it were not for Li Xin to go north in person, the Xianbei people are likely to really build the Northern Zhou again.

And now, the fall of the Xianbei King's Tent represents...... The Xianbei people in the north are almost wiped out!

Although it is impossible for so many Xianbei people to die all at once, the remaining two tribes of the Qigui Department and the Futu Department will still derive some tribes, but with the size of these two tribes, it is far from being able to compete with the upcoming Anbei Metropolitan Protectorate.

Tsugofu!

This is both a strange and familiar term, the Jin people have only seen in the history books in the past, the relatively strong Jin Dynasty, in the Chengde Dynasty can only barely hold the frontier, and is simply unable to establish a foreign protectorate.

Only the extremely powerful dynasties in the history books are qualified to establish a capital in the north!

After the news spread, the reaction of the people in other parts of the Great Jin Dynasty could not be known, but the people in the capital, all of them were arrogant, and when they encountered a foreign race on the street, they would hold their heads high and glance at them with disdain.

Of course, these ordinary people naturally can't see that in the capital today, the soldiers and horses of the city gates, as well as the manpower of all key positions, have been quietly replaced.

Only some well-intentioned people found that the fangding who was arranged by Jingzhao Mansion to maintain order in each fang, I don't know when, they all changed their unfamiliar faces.

These fangding are just supernumerary personnel of Jingzhao Mansion, they are regarded as "hired workers", helping Jingzhao Mansion maintain order in various squares, and they are not considered to be people from the imperial court, at most they can be regarded as community workers such as neighborhood committees, but even so, most of the fangs in the capital have been slightly replaced.

This situation caused most of the officials in the imperial court to become extremely sensitive, and at such a moment, in addition to going to work at the yamen every day, as long as the sun set down, they immediately returned to their homes, and did not dare to participate in any entertainment activities, even if their friends invited them to drink, they all shook their heads and refused.

The most direct manifestation is that since Li Xin ordered Shenwuwei to take over the capital, the business on the banks of the Qinhuai River has dropped by at least more than 30%. vp

Zhao Jia, the right minister of Shangshutai, after taking a break from Shangshutai every day, will go to the Jing'an Hou Mansion, and he will stay in the Jing'an Hou Mansion for at least one hour before he comes out.

And Li Shuo, the general of Shenwuwei, will also run to the Jing'an Hou Mansion every day during this time, and after a long time, not only the officials of the southwest department, but also those ordinary officials in the capital, have also figured out some flavors.

The team that followed the persuasion of Zhou Youyi is getting bigger and bigger.

At the end of July of the second year of Yankang.

The weather is still hot and dry, but with the arrival of autumn, a hint of coolness slowly appeared, and under the ravages of autumn tigers, it brought a breeze to the capital.

At the gate of Weiyang Palace, Lord Shangshu of the Military Department, who had just finished the court meeting, glanced at the civil and military ministers who had returned to their yamen, and frowned slightly.

He said to the two squires beside him: "This official has some things today, so he won't go back to the military department, if there is anything in the yamen, you two will deal with it for the time being, if there is something that can't be solved, you can come to my house to find me." ”

There are not four functions, they belong to the two waiters in charge, Shangshu's errand is just in charge, and there is no need to deal with daily affairs, the two waiters immediately bowed their heads: "The lower officials obey orders." ”

After Ye Lan explained the errand of the military department, he left the imperial city from Yong'an Gate and went straight to the Jing'an Hou Mansion in Yongle Fang, he was an old acquaintance of the Hou Mansion and Li Xin's senior brother, and he didn't even need to report it, he was introduced into the mansion by the subordinates of the Hou Mansion.

When he saw Li Xin, Li Xin was holding his young son who was less than a year old in the backyard, and when he saw Ye Lan coming, Li Xin put the child in the hands of Hui Niang beside him, got up and saluted Ye Luan, and said with a smile: "Why is Senior Brother here?" ”

Ye Lan glanced at the baby beside Li Xin, and sighed with some inexplicable meaning: "Now everyone in the court is walking on thin ice, and many people are still coming to my door to explore the wind, and everyone is thinking about the next move of the Jing'an Hou Mansion, but Chang'an, you are good, you don't ask about anything, but you hold the child at home......"

Li Xin got up, pulled Ye Lan to sit down in the shade of the backyard, and said with a smile: "No matter how many things happen in the capital, it won't affect me to hold the child, besides, there will be no big things happening in the capital, everyone can do whatever they have to do, now that the court pattern has been decided, the people who came with me from the southwest, who should have been officials, have already become officials, and they have been integrated into the system of the imperial court, even if there is a change, there will be no major changes in the personnel of the imperial court." ”

Li Xin's face was calm, and he said frankly: "It's nothing more than the change of the king's banner at the head of the city, at most, it is just a change in the titles of a few more people." ”

"It took me two years to stabilize the situation in the capital, and naturally I won't let it go into chaos again."

Hearing Li Xin's words, Ye Lan probably knew it in his heart, and he let out a long breath, and his voice was obscure: "Since you have made up your mind, I won't say anything more." ”

Seeing his expression, Li Xin knew that his mood as a "Jin man" was a little complicated, and he immediately said slowly: "It's not that I have settled it, it is the people of the southwest family who have settled it, and today the younger brother can only take the lead and carry this burden, otherwise the southwest army will be in chaos, and more people will die." ”

"Senior brother should be able to figure this out."

"I understand."

He looked up at Li Xin and asked, "The days are about ...... When is it? ”

This time, Li Xin didn't shy away from anything, and immediately spoke.

"When Mu Ying returns to Beijing."
