The two former friends have turned their faces at this time, and even reached the point of turning against each other.

Li Xin raised his head, glanced at the Son of Heaven who was a little pale, and slowly spoke: "Your Majesty, there is no better choice. ”

"I go to the southwest, the southwest may have the possibility of calming, I don't go to the southwest, the situation in the southwest will only deteriorate, and then the north and the south of the imperial court can not look at each other, and can only support the left and the right, and waste national strength."

The Son of Heaven finally stood up from the imperial throne, he walked to Li Xin's side, and his voice was cold: "You don't know that I can't look north and south like Emperor Wu. ”

"As long as you hand over that heavenly thunder to me, I can look north and south, the Yuwen clan in the north can't move, and the Mu family of Hanzhou, with only 50,000 soldiers and horses, wants to restore the Cheng Han who has been dead for forty years?"

Li Xin shook his head.

The crux of the matter is in the heavenly thunder, the Son of Heaven can't control the heavenly thunder in his hands, and he can't rest assured, as the Ninety-Five Supreme, since he knows that there is such a thing in the world, then he has to get it anyway.

In this world, whatever the Son of Heaven wants, no matter who it is, must be respectfully handed over to him.

Li Xin closed his eyes.

"The minister said that the Taoist book is in the southwest, and the minister can't repeat it, Your Majesty said so, and the minister has no choice, if there is nothing else, the minister will retire."

As he spoke, Li Xin was about to get up and say goodbye.

Taikang Tianzi's face was ugly, he turned his head to look at Li Xin, looked at it for a long, long time, and clenched his fists.

Finally, he let go of his clenched fist with some weakness.

"That's it......"

He turned back to his throne, his voice a little decadent.

"Ten years ago, I knew that you were much more powerful than me, I thought that I was sitting in this position, how could I control you, but I didn't expect that even if I was on the throne, naturally I couldn't help you."

The Son of Heaven closed his eyes.

"You answer me a question, and I can let you go to the southwest."

Li Xin bowed his head: "Your Majesty, may I ask." ”

"If you don't come back, what will happen to me? What about the imperial court? ”

The Marquis of Jing'an bowed his head and said: "Your Majesty, no matter if the minister goes to the southwest and comes back or not, things will not be worse, even if the minister does not go to the southwest, the southwest will also erect a flag to rebel, that Mu Ying has been a general in Yulin Wei for a few years, his ability to lead troops is not inferior to that of the minister, even if the minister goes to the south to participate in the rebellion, it will be no different from him leading the army." ”

"The minister has known His Majesty for ten years, and he has never harmed His Majesty."

Speaking of this, Li Xin raised his head and looked directly at the Son of Heaven.

"Since the situation can't be worse, Your Majesty might as well take a gamble."

The Son of Heaven closed his eyes.

After a long time, he slowly opened his eyes and looked at Li Xin.

"Brother Xin, do you also want to be Li Shen?"

Hearing this long-lost title, Li Xin was stunned, and then shook his head and said, "Your Majesty has misunderstood, the minister never thought of being Li Shen." ”

The Son of Heaven took a deep breath.

"A few days ago, I asked Xiao Zheng to go to Zhaoling to see it."

He looked at Li Xin, his voice a little vain.

"If it weren't for Li Shen really dying in Zhaoling, I would have to wonder if it was your Li family, father and son, who were working together to fool Yu Zhen."

Li Xin was about to speak, when he heard the Son of Heaven continue: "You go back." ”

"What you say, I have to think about it for two days before I can give you an answer."

He looked at Li Xin, his voice hoarse.

"Brother Xin, you ...... Why can't you settle down? ”

Li Xin bowed his head deeply.

"Your Majesty, the minister is already enough to settle down."

………………

After leaving Weiyang Palace, the Marquis of Jing'an walked in Weiyang Palace alone, with his hands behind his back.

He knew the emperor very well, and although the emperor did not agree to what he said just now, as long as he relented, most of the things could be done, which means that Li Xin would soon be able to leave the Jing'an Marquis Mansion openly.

Now the question on his mind was......

Do you want to come back.

Now he is in the capital, although he has the trump card of the southwest as a talisman, but this talisman only guards against smart people and not reckless people, if the emperor is really annoyed that day, let the guards rush into the Jing'an Hou Mansion and kill him, he really has no place to reason.

And now, the eldest princess and his children are not in the capital, he can completely leave, stay away from this place of right and wrong, and go to the southwest to be his soil emperor.

And he happens to be surnamed Li, the same surname as Cheng Hanguo, as long as he is willing, as long as he simply operates, it is not just as simple as going to the southwest to be the emperor of the soil, and he can even go directly to the southwest to be the emperor!

The question is how Li Xin should choose.

He squinted his eyes slightly, thinking of the Taikang Tianzi just now.

Soon, Yong'an Gate was close at hand.

Chen Sixteen was still waiting at the door, and Li Xin bent into the carriage.

"Master Hou, are you going home?"

"Of course I'm home."

Li Xin said with a smile: "At this time, we are plague gods, and no one in the entire capital is willing to deal with our family." ”

In fact, at this time, he really wanted to go to Qinhuai Fang to see Cui Jiuniang, who had not seen him for a long time, and if it was possible, he also wanted to take Cui Jiuniang out of the capital, but at this moment, he would be unlucky if he saw anyone, and if he saw Cui Jiuniang, it would even bring him death, so he couldn't go to Qinhuaifang.

After the carriage left Yong'anmen, it soon entered Yongle Fang, and on the victory street of Yongle Fang, Li Xin saw a familiar figure riding in the direction of Miyagi, Li Xin instructed Chen Sixteen to stay on the horse, and then walked down.

"Senior Brother Ye."

The one who was sitting immediately was Ye Lan.

Ye Lan was holding a letter in his hand and was about to walk in the direction of the palace, after seeing Li Xin, he hurriedly dismounted and said with a smile: "I went to your house to look for you just now, your family said that you entered the palace and were about to wait for you at the gate of Yong'an Gate." ”

At this time, the only people who are willing to contact Li Xin and dare to contact Li Xin are probably the Ye family, Li Xin smiled: "What's the matter?" ”

Ye Lan smiled and said, "Good thing." ”

"You were in Jizhou City before, did you meet Yuwen Zhao from the Yuwen Department and make an agreement with him?"

Li Xin was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly remembered Yu Wenzhao's matter.

During this time, he ran from the north to the southwest, and then ran back to the capital from the southwest, and even sat in prison for a few days.

The Marquis of Jing'an's face was solemn, and he asked, "Did you do it in the north?" ”

Ye Xuan nodded and said: "You told Ye Mao before you left, if he has confidence, he will do it according to your method, about seven or eight days ago, Ye Mao and Yuwen Zhao sent troops together, and after several involvements, they hit the Yuwen Futu Department hard!" ”

The fourth child of the Ye family had a smile in his eyes.

"Ye Mao's casualties are less than three thousand, Yuwen Zhao's side is estimated to have more than five or six thousand casualties, Yuwen Futu's combat strength is almost completely wiped out, and the territory is also occupied by Ye Mao and them."

"This is a great credit, Ye Mao first wrote a letter to me and my eldest brother, and at the same time sent a letter of merit to the imperial court, calculate the time, it should be in the capital soon."

Li Xinjie took the letter in his hand, and after briefly flipping through it, he slowly closed the letter, stroked his palm and sighed: "Ye Mao is amazing." ”

Conspiring with Yu Wenzhao to attack the Futu Department sounds simple, but when it is really implemented, it will have to go through a lot of deception, and you must be well measured, otherwise it will be easy to suffer a big loss.

Ye Mao handled it very properly, not only did he not suffer a loss, but he also took a big advantage.

Ye Lan stretched out his hand and patted Li Xin's shoulder, and said with a smile: "Thank you Chang'an." ”

"You taught a great general for the Ye family!"
