In fact, in the palace, there is indeed a first-come, first-served rule, generally whoever arrives first will see first, and the later people can only line up, but the face of the Marquis of Jing'an is bigger now after all, so he...

Cut in line.

Under the leadership of Xiao Zheng, Li Xin walked towards the door of Taikang Tianzi's study, it is worth mentioning that when he was about to enter Tianzi's study, he met a man who was not very tall, but obviously very strong, and this man, Li Xin also recognized.

The original general of the forbidden army, Pei Jin Pei Saburo.

This General Pei, who was once the general who commanded the two battalions of the forbidden army, was the absolute henchman of the first emperor Chengde Tianzi, and the rule of the forbidden army for decades was only orderly, in the first year of Taikang, he was conspired by Li Xin and Taikang Tianzi, and was promoted to the position of the right governor of the Dadu Governor's Mansion, and became an empty shell with high and low power.

At the beginning, this General Pei had absolute prestige in Yulin Wei, and even Taikang Tianzi was afraid that he would lead the forbidden army to rebel, but after a few years of observation, Pei Jin is now very honest.

According to what Hou Jingde said, this person who was received by the Son of Heaven should take over Li Xin's position in the forbidden army and take over the right camp of the forbidden army.

Originally, Li Xin thought that this person would be a general who was promoted in the forbidden army, but what he never expected was that this person would be Pei Jin.

Pei Jin is now the right governor of the Dadu Governor's Mansion, this position is worthy of the name of the No. 2 person in the Dajin military, from the perspective of authority alone, whether it is Li Shen or Ye Ming, or Yunzhou's Xuantong, they are much shorter than this position, and if he wants to take charge of the right camp of the forbidden army again, it is equivalent to demotion by two levels, which is even worse than his previous official position.

Moreover, this person was a subordinate of the first emperor before, if the current Son of Heaven is willing to entrust the forbidden army to him, then it means that Pei Jin has completely surrendered to the current Taikang Son of Heaven.

There is another inconspicuous place in this, that is, if the general of Yulin Weili is promoted to take over Li Xin's position, then the newly promoted general of the right battalion may not have enough prestige to lead the right battalion, and Pei Jin, the former general, can control the forbidden army without any doubt, so that the influence of Li Xin and the Ye family in the forbidden army will disappear in the shortest possible time.

These thoughts only turned around in Li Xin's mind, and his footsteps stopped, and he smiled at Pei Jin and said, "I've seen the Grand Dudu." ”

Pei Jin was an ordinary-looking man, shorter than Li Xin, he also stopped, glanced at Li Xin in some surprise, and then returned the courtesy: "Hou Ye Li is polite, Pei is no longer working in the Dadu Governor's Mansion." ”

The two of them didn't intersect on weekdays, and Li Xin had calculated him in the past, so the two of them just said hello and passed by by by mistake.

Xiao Zheng followed behind Li Xin, bowed his head deeply, and asked in a low voice, "Master Hou, ...... Gonggong Chen?"

Li Xin frowned and asked, "The Grand Duke is still in the palace?" ”

Xiao Zheng gritted his teeth and asked in a low voice: "Yes, the eldest duke stayed in the palace last night, and he hasn't left today, the slave wants to ask Hou Ye Li, ...... the grand duke?"

Chen Ju is still the eunuch of the inner chamberlain, and what is even more terrifying is that it has been nearly three years since the first emperor was buried, and if Chen Ju wants to live in the palace in the future, Xiao Zheng's position will be given up.

Li Xin didn't stop, and said indifferently: "What the palace means, it's inconvenient for me, a foreign minister, to ask." ”

Xiao Zheng lowered his head and didn't say anything more.

While speaking, the two of them had already arrived in the study, Xiao Zheng went over to report, and then led Li Xin into the inner room of the study, Li Xin tidied up his court clothes, walked in, and bowed his head to the Son of Heaven.

"Minister Li Xin, I have seen Your Majesty."

The Son of Heaven raised his head and said with a smile: "No need to be polite, I have been waiting for you in the morning, Xiao Zheng moved a chair for Chang'an, sat down and talked." ”

Xiao Zheng obediently moved a Taishi chair over, and Li Xin was not too polite, so he sat down so generously.

Thinking that it was because the abolished prince had already burped, Taikang Tianzi was in a very good mood, and he smiled at Li Xin and said, "Over there is no problem in the Qin Palace?" ”

Li Xin shook his head and said, "There is nothing wrong, but I heard from Yu Linwei's people that yesterday the people from the Zongfu were about to enter the Qin Palace, and they were stopped by Yu Linwei's people, what does Your Majesty mean?" ”

Zongfu is a yamen composed of royal family elders, responsible for all internal affairs of the Ji family, as long as the people of the general clan are not rebelling, other yamen, including the three law divisions, have no right to intervene, all by the Zongfu is responsible for rewards and punishments.

The Son of Heaven frowned and thought for a while, then shook his head and said: "Say hello to Yu Linwei's people, don't let the people of the Zongfu interfere in the affairs of the Qin Wangfu, I will send them a letter to explain the affairs of the Qin Wangfu, and the Qin Wangfu is still in charge of Chang'an." ”

Li Xin nodded and said, "So, the minister understands." ”

The Son of Heaven hesitated for a moment and asked, "Li Shen, ...... he?"

Li Xin said in a deep voice: "Since Li Shen is dead, his affairs have nothing to do with the minister. ”

The Son of Heaven nodded.

"Then that's the end of it."

The Son of Heaven had a smile on his face and said, "Chang'an, you have always been reluctant to come to the imperial city, why did you enter the palace early in the morning today to see me?" ”

Li Xin bowed his head slightly, then stood up from his chair, walked to the red carpet in front of the Son of Heaven, and knelt down respectfully.

"Your Majesty, when the minister entered the palace today, there are two things to ask for."

The Son of Heaven frowned, and he also got up from the main seat, stepped forward to support Li Xin, and said, "Chang'an, what are you doing?" You and my brother, if there is anything to say and discuss, no matter what, you say, I can do it, I will promise you. ”

Li Xin didn't get up, still lowered his head, and said: "The first thing, the ministers please be idle at home for a few years, and the errand of the military department will be entrusted to the two waiters." ”

Taikang Tianzi smiled bitterly: "Why is this? ”

"The minister has been in the limelight too much in the past two years, and it is too easy to provoke the red eyes of outsiders, the minister has thought carefully about it in the past few days, the minister is still shallow, and the accumulation of heritage is not enough, so I want to rest at home for a few years, one to avoid the limelight, and the other is to read at home, so as to accumulate some heritage."

Speaking of this, Li Xin smiled bitterly: "I'm not afraid of Your Majesty's jokes, I was born in a peasant family, and I haven't read all the books I have learned so far. ”

The Ministry of War is also a civilian yamen.

The Son of Heaven laughed dumbly.

"My Jing'an Hou is not studying, and he has made great contributions, that's it, let's not talk about this matter for the time being, Chang'an, you said the second thing, I will consider it together."

Li Xin took a deep breath and knelt down.

"Your Majesty, the minister went to the prison of the Criminal Department yesterday to see that he forgot about Jing Zhaoyin and Li Ye's family."

The Son of Heaven did not speak, and looked at Li Xin quietly.

After Li Xin paused, he continued: "Your Majesty, the rebellion of the Pingnan Army has nothing to do with Li Ye's family. ”

"I know."

The Son of Heaven said indifferently: "It's just that someone must be responsible for this matter, otherwise the people of the world will not have a wake-up call, and everyone can be the Pingnan Army in the future, how can my country be stable?" ”

Li Xin kowtowed again and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, even if Li Ye's family rebels and deserves to die, but Li Ye's grandchildren, the eldest is only eight or nine years old, so they can't participate in the rebellion?" ”

"I beg Your Majesty, for the sake of Li Ye's two dynasties as officials and conscientious people, let go of the lives of these little dolls."
