Li Xin and the emperor can be said to be a cold war, or it can be said that they have been facing each other for half a month, this time the emperor asked Xiao Zheng to personally invite Li Xin into the palace, so he naturally wanted to communicate with Li Xin, but Li Xin's reaction to this was very cold.

He now knows very well that it is basically impossible to solve the conflict and contradiction between the two people by gentle means, and what Li Xin has to do now is to jump out of the chessboard of the Great Jin Dynasty and play against this son of heaven on another chessboard.

To put it bluntly, if you only talk about playing chess, or the ability to control the situation, today is much inferior to Li Xinliang, but the strength of the two people is also very different.

He had only one soldier and five men who were far to the southwest.

The rest of the stone is still the strength that Li Xin has secretly cultivated in the past five years, and he can barely protect him in secret.

On the other hand, on the Son of Heaven's side, not only are there all the chess pieces, but also there are many generals, and what is even more excessive is that the "general" on Li Xin's side is now really next to the Son of Heaven, and he is being watched by the Son of Heaven.

To be honest, if it weren't for the killing weapon of gunpowder, even if it was a great grievance, Li Xin could only follow the appearance of Old Man Ye at this time, gritted his teeth and swallowed, and obediently bowed his head in the capital to admit his cowardice, but with gunpowder, he could do many things.

Li Xin did not go to see the Son of Heaven, and the Son of Heaven did not leave his son to take the initiative to see Li Xin in the main hall, in a blink of an eye, the time had reached the afternoon and evening, and some important ministers of the Taiwan Department had entered the main hall of Weiyang Palace one after another, found their own place and sat down, Li Xin sat in the position near the door at the back, when these people passed by the door, they couldn't help but glance at Li Xin, their eyelids trembled.

This Marquis Li, now it is a big problem, in the past, they naturally had to go up and be polite, set a set of almost, but now no one knows when this Marquis Li will be imprisoned again, they dare not talk to Li Xin, nor dare to offend Li Xin, so they can only remain silent, find their place, and sit down quietly.

One of them, a forty-year-old waiter of the Ministry of Works, was the most unlucky, he walked up to Li Xin in a gloomy manner and touched his nose with some embarrassment.

Li ...... Shang Shu, the position you are sitting in seems to be the ...... of the lower officials."

In addition to the banquet of the imperial relatives and relatives of the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet, only the three princes and nine qing, the Shangshutai, the chief of the imperial history platform, and the Shangshu and waiters of the six departments were invited to the banquet, and the positions of each person were predetermined, among the six of them, the Ministry of Works had the lowest status, and the waiters of the Ministry of Works could only sit next to the door, and the position by this door was coincidentally being sat by Li Xin.

Li Xin's face was expressionless, he stretched out his finger and pointed to the low table at the front on the right, and said indifferently: "The two of us change places and sit in different places, and you sit with me." ”

In the past five years, Li Xin has been in the capital, and he also comes to attend the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet every year, so he naturally knows where he should sit.

This waiter of the Ministry of Industry was sweating when he heard this, but he didn't dare to disobey Li Xin's words, so he could only walk to Li Xin's position with an embarrassed face and sit down.

After all the officials arrived, the Son of Heaven soon arrived.

This Taikang Son of Heaven no longer dresses casually, this time he wore the crown of the Son of Heaven, with a jade belt around his waist, because the clothes were too cumbersome, and even a few palace people had to support him, so as to maintain the majesty of the Son of Heaven.

After the Son of Heaven sat on the throne, he first glanced at the ministers in the palace, and after seeing Li Xin sitting at the door, the Son of Heaven hesitated slightly, and finally said with a smile: "My crown prince Taibao, why is he sitting so far away, and he is coming to sit closely." ”

The officials looked sideways and looked at Li Xin who was sitting in the corner at the same time.

It seems that this Marquis of Jing'an has not lost his holy favor, and most of the things in the past few days were just nonsense......

The waiter of the Ministry of Works, who was sitting in Li Xin's position, immediately stood up as if his butt had been burned by fire, and ran to Li Xin at a trot, the expression on his face was about to cry.

"...... Hou Ye Li"

Only then did Li Xin stand up, sit generously next to the first low table on the right side of the Son of Heaven, and sit down peacefully.

The Son of Heaven nodded and smiled at the ministers.

"Tonight is Chinese New Year's Eve, tomorrow is the Spring Festival, the beginning of the first yuan, Vientiane renewed, since the beginning of this year, thanks to the blessing of the ancestors in heaven, the assistance of the Qing Dynasty, the Great Jin can be said to be the world Jingping, Haiyan River Qing."

Speaking of this, he raised the wine glass in his hand and said with a smile: "I salute Zhuqing with a glass." ”

The court bosses immediately stood up, raised the wine glasses in their hands, and toasted to the Son of Heaven.

"All thanks to Your Majesty's holy virtue, the Great Jin Dynasty can be peaceful for the country and the people, Your Majesty is a saint through the ages, and the blessings of the people are also ......"

After a smug of whiskers, the glass of wine was in the stomach.

Li Xin got up and didn't speak, and after quietly drinking a glass of wine, he sat back in his place.

Next, there was a long period of horse shooting, many court bigwigs took turns to fight, and after a few glasses of wine, Taikang Tianzi became an unprecedented saint, Renjun, comparable to Emperor Wu, and overtook Emperor Chengde.

This kind of sycophant atmosphere has existed since ancient times, but the atmosphere of the Taikang Dynasty is far better than that of the Chengde Dynasty, in the final analysis, it is because I like to listen to it today.

The Son of Heaven loves to listen, so naturally there will be many people who say it.

Li Xin'an sat at a low table and poured himself a drink.

At this time, the big eunuch dressed in red walked into the main hall in a panic, he walked the imperial steps on the right, walked all the way to the Son of Heaven, and bent down in the ear of the Son of Heaven.

His voice was low.

"Your Majesty...... Oh no......"

Xiao Zheng swallowed his saliva, took another deep breath, gritted his teeth and said, "Southwest Muying...... Rebellion! ”

The Son of Heaven was eating, but when he heard this, he glanced back at Xiao Zheng with an expressionless face: "Didn't he rebel a long time ago?" ”

Eunuch Xiao smiled bitterly: "This time, it is really a rebellion!" ”

"Seven days ago, Mu Ying issued a notice saying that the imperial court sent troops to invade the Hanzhou Mansion for no reason, and afterwards, the Hanzhou Mansion was willing to surrender regardless of the previous suspicions, but the imperial court was still unmoved, which made the people of Hanzhou very cold......"

Speaking of this, he glanced up at his majesty and continued: "And...... Mu Ying said that they had found the royal family of Old Shu, so they no longer served my Great Jin, and wanted to restore the country to the Han Dynasty......"

The Son of Heaven finally put down the chopsticks in his hand and looked back at Xiao Zheng.

"And then?"

Xiao Zheng took a deep breath and continued: "Now, Mu Ying has begun to lead troops to attack Jincheng, and then divide his troops into the Palace Sword Pavilion, once these two places are taken by the Hanzhou army, the southwest will be ......"

At this point, he didn't dare to continue, but the meaning of the words was already obvious.

If this continues, the southwest will be lost!

Tianzi was expressionless, drank the liquor in the cup in one gulp, and then looked in the direction of Li Xin.

It just so happened that at this time, the Marquis of Jing'an just raised his head, and the two of them looked at each other, and their expressions were a little complicated.

No one knew what the two of them were thinking at this time.

The Son of Heaven put down the wine glass in his hand and gritted his teeth fiercely, his expression a little hideous.

"Mu Ying's 50,000 soldiers and horses, how dare he!"

Because he was pushing too hard, the corners of his mouth were faintly dripping with blood.

"Yes, there are still tens of thousands of Pingnan troops in the southwest who are missing."

Speaking of this, the Son of Heaven once again looked at Li Xin at the bottom of the imperial stairs, and his voice was full of coldness.

"What a Li family!"
