Throughout the ages, all the articles in officialdom will not be directly told to another person.

These secret twists and turns should not have been said on the table, the people in the officialdom should have understood this by themselves, and if they can't understand it, it means that your brain is not enough, and you are not worthy of climbing up.

Like Li Xin, the one who directly opened his mouth to make his words clear was Hou Jingde's nobleman.

Hou Jingde, who had a black face, grinned and said, "Brother Li, no matter what happens in the future, my brother owes this love." ”

"In the future, if my brother slanders you behind your back, it will also be according to your orders, and you must not be angry."

A smile appeared on Li Xin's face.

"Brother Hou, let's talk about it first, if I tell others that you have no brains, don't be angry."

Hou Jingde smiled bitterly: "Can't you change the word, although I'm not very smart, but I don't have no brains......"

Li Xin smiled and did not answer.

Hou Jingde also sat on the side with interest, and the two of them didn't talk much anymore.

Anyway, this is in the palace at this time, and every word that the two of them say may be sent to the table of Taikang Tianzi, and the reason why Li Xin dares to say these words in the palace is because he is not afraid of this kind of thing.

Because even if the words he said to Hou Jingde were known by Taikang Tianzi, it would not be a bad thing.

About another pillar of incense or so passed, the white-haired Dadu Governor's Mansion, Zuodu Governor Ji Ping, finally walked out of the study of the Son of Heaven, and after the old man walked out of the study, he did not leave directly, but went to Li Xin's side.

Li Xin stood up and arched his hand at the old man: "Li Xin, I've seen my husband." ”

This Ji Ping, the bloodline is farther away from the main branch than Ji Mingfang, and it has been three or four generations since the first generation, and now there is only one county duke left, which is far worse than the national duke.

However, when it comes to his position, his own influence is far greater than the title itself.

Ji Ping glanced at Li Xin with a smile and said with a smile: "The old man has heard a lot about the Marquis of Jing'an, and the future life is terrifying." ”

"Most of the governors have won awards."

Ji Ping shook his head and said, "There have been no awards, no awards." ”

He patted Li Xin on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "The Marquis of Jing'an is also a noble, according to this situation, I am afraid that you can enter the Dadu Governor's Mansion at the age of thirty or forty." ”

After the old man said this, he shook his head and sighed: "In this world, there are still young people." ”

The old man walked away on crutches.

Li Xin shook his head and didn't take this passage to heart.

This is the usual routine of leaders, who always like to draw cakes for young people in order to stimulate their fighting spirit, and this kind of talk is useless to Li Xin.

After Ji Ping walked away, the young eunuch Xiao Zheng bowed his head to Li Xin and Hou Jingde.

"Two marquis, Your Majesty is waiting for you in the study."

Hou Jingde is also a marquis, a loyal and brave marquis of the Great Jin Dynasty.

Li Xin nodded, put his hands in his sleeves, and smiled at Xiao Zheng: "How is Grandpa Xiao lately?" ”

Xiao Zheng was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly said: "Lord Xie is worried, under the care of His Majesty, everything is fine with the slave and maid." ”

The palace people in the palace are all male slaves and women are called maids, but they are not called separately, they all call themselves slaves and maids. (A lot of people struggle with this question, so to explain here, in most dynasties in China, eunuchs called themselves slaves, except for a certain dynasty.) ）

Li Xin smiled and didn't say anything more.

According to the current trend, Dong Cheng has lost the qualification to compete for the eunuch of the inner chamberlain, which means that this young little eunuch will be in charge of the inner court in a short time, and it will be very beneficial for Li Xin to have a good relationship with him at this time.

Under the leadership of Xiao Zheng, Li Xin and Hou Jingde both arrived at the door of the Son of Heaven's study, Xiao Zheng knocked lightly on the door, and said sharply at the door: "Your Majesty, the two Hou Masters are here." ”

Soon the voice of Taikang Tianzi came from the room.

"Let them in."

Xiao Zheng opened the door, and Li Xin and Hou Jingde walked in one after another.

The content of this conversation is still very old-fashioned, roughly asking Li Xin and Hou Jingde to take care of each other in the forbidden army, help each other, and take full control of the forbidden army as soon as possible.

After Taikang Tianzi spoke for a while, he was silent for a while, and then continued: "I want you to eliminate Pei Jin's influence in the forbidden army within two months. ”

Pei Jin has been in the forbidden army for more than ten years, even if he doesn't deliberately operate, there are many of his subordinates, cronies and even diehards in the forbidden army, and the Son of Heaven means to erase Pei Jin's influence in the forbidden army as soon as possible.

Hou Jingde hurriedly bowed his head, while Li Xin frowned and said, "Your Majesty, time is a little anxious." ”

Under normal circumstances, it would take about one to three years for this kind of influence to be completely eliminated, but now the time given by Taikang Tianzi is too urgent.

The Son of Heaven took a notebook from his bookcase and handed it to Li Xin.

This is a recital sent back by someone sent by the Criminal Department.

Li Xin opened it and glanced at it, and he had counted it.

A few days ago, there were eleven places in Dajin that reported disasters, and the Son of Heaven didn't believe it, so he sent people from the Criminal Department to investigate, and now, these eleven places that reported disasters were found out by the Criminal Department, only two places did suffer disasters, and the other nine places were all lying about the disaster.

Now, the people of the Criminal Department have taken these officials who lied about the disaster and are on their way back to Beijing to stand trial.

After Li Xin finished reading it, he slowly exhaled.

"Your Majesty wants to completely control the forbidden army before the people from the Criminal Department come back?"

Taikang Tianzi nodded slowly.

"I have sent them a letter, telling them to slow down and return to Beijing."

His Majesty the Emperor, who had not been on the throne for a long time, sighed slightly: "When the people from the Criminal Department come back, what those families have done can no longer be hidden, and I have to turn my face with them. ”

Li Xin bowed his head and said, "Your Majesty, rest assured, the ministers will do their best to help Your Majesty master the forbidden army as soon as possible!" ”

The Son of Heaven smiled and waved his hand at Hou Jingde.

"General Hou will go down first, and I have a few words to say to Chang'an."

Hou Jingde said yes respectfully, bent down and retreated.

After the big man left, Chengde Tianzi's straight body collapsed suddenly, and the whole person relaxed a lot, he let out a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "Seeing these ministers, it is really uncomfortable to put on a majestic appearance every day, or when you get along with Chang'an, it is more relaxed." ”

Li Xin smiled silently.

The Son of Heaven continued: "Chang'an, you went to Pingnanhou Mansion that day, but what did you receive? ”

"The people of the Zheng family in Xingyang don't seem to be very willing to see Your Majesty, and they hug the Pingnan Hou Mansion to the death."

Speaking of this, Li Xin paused and continued: "As for Li Shen, he didn't find any flaws, but the minister can be sure of one thing. ”

The Son of Heaven got serious and asked, "Which point?" ”

Li Xin said in a low voice: "Li Shen wants to go out of Beijing." ”

"Now that the Pingnan Hou Mansion is surrounded by many people, although I don't know how Li Shen got out, it is certain that before the southern Xinjiang is completely chaotic, Li Shen will definitely find a way to get out of Beijing."

The Marquis of Jing'an breathed.

"Li Shen is not a person who sits idly by, Chen has a strong premonition that he will start to act soon."

The Son of Heaven was slightly moved.

"That'...... I sent some more people to look at the Pingnan Hou Mansion. ”
