Chapter 436: Lifting the Tablecloth

Originally, Li Xin's work in the right battalion of the forbidden army had been laid down in an orderly manner, and if he was given a month or two, this right battalion of the forbidden army would be firmly grasped by him, but when the Taikang Tianzi summoned him, he couldn't help but go, so he had no choice but to put the matter here first.

After all......

There may be a war.

If Li Shen really escaped from the capital, then the time for a full-scale war between the two sides was not far off, and it was impossible for the southern Xinjiang side to wait for Taikang Tianzi to sit firmly on the throne before making a move.

Only at this point, when the succession is unclear and the new emperor will ascend the throne, the abolished prince ascends to the heights and shouts, and it is possible to rise at this time.

Therefore, as soon as the news of Li Shen's appearance in southern Xinjiang reached the capital, Taikang Tianzi was already preparing for war, and immediately called Li Xin back to the capital.

Li Xin only brought a team of more than a dozen guards, Mu Ying rode a horse slightly behind Li Xin, and the horses of the two people did not run, they could only be said to be on foot, because they had something to discuss.

"Brother Mu, I need to give me accurate news from the southern Xinjiang side."

Mu Ying bowed her head slightly: "Don't worry, Master Hou, I already sent a letter to my father yesterday and asked him to help find out if Li Shen is in Shu County." ”

Jing Anhou smiled with relief: "Brother Mu is much smarter now than before." ”

The black-faced man smiled bitterly: "I have been in the capital for more than a year, and the hearts of the people in this capital are very dirty. ”

As he spoke, he squeezed his eyes and said with a smile: "Besides, by following Hou Ye's side, I have learned a little." ”

Li Xin gave him a blank look.

"Don't talk nonsense, in this capital, the heart of the marquis is the cleanest."

"That Xie Jing, what's wrong?"

"I don't have anything to do in Yulinwei."

Mu Ying bowed his head and said: "Since the last time the Hou Ye knocked him, he has not been to Yulinwei, and there has been no sound for most of the month. ”

After all, Yu Linwei is not an intelligence organization like Tianmu Prison, and Mu Ying doesn't hear much news every day, so he is not too sure about what he says.

Li Xin smiled and nodded: "It should be about the same, Chong Heng can't bring Qianniuwei, originally I thought that the little grandfather could fight for this position, but now it seems that our majesty still believes in his brother-in-law more." ”

"Everybody believes in their own people."

Mu Ying muttered in a low voice: "It's a pity that Master Hou doesn't look down on my sister." ”

Li Xin looked at him with a dark face.

"Your sister hasn't gone back to southern Xinjiang yet?"

"No, her father won't let her go back, she is having fun in the capital again, and she is much richer here than Shu County."

Li Xin shook his head and said in a deep voice: "When you go back, you are also ready to prepare, our brothers may have to enter Shu together." ”

Mu Ying grinned: "It's a pity that Yu Linwei can't take it." ”

"When the time comes, I'll try my best to let you bring a lieutenant camp over."

A lieutenant battalion of Yu Linwei is four hundred people, which is probably the limit number that Li Xin can take out from Yu Linwei.

"Yes."

………………

In Weiyang Palace, the young Taikang Tianzi had a solemn face with a faint trace of sadness.

Li Xin came in with his hands down, knelt down and saluted.

"Minister Li Xin, knock to see Your Majesty."

Taikang Tianzi came back from his contemplation, and hurriedly helped Li Xin up with his own hands, and sighed slowly: "Chang'an, what are you doing, I haven't seen you for a while, how did you become a student?" ”

Li Xin stood up and said with a smile: "The ceremony cannot be wasted. ”

The Son of Heaven pulled him, sat down in the Weiyang Palace, and asked, "How is the forbidden army doing over there?" ”

Li Xin was still smiling.

"Now that General Pei has come to the forbidden army in person, he can't command it, Your Majesty can rest assured."

Taikang Tianzi breathed a sigh of relief and said in a low voice: "You know about Li Shen?" ”

Li Xin nodded and said, "The minister has heard about it. ”

"What do you think?"

"The minister thinks that Li Shen may not really go out of Beijing."

After Li Xin paused, he continued: "Your Majesty has received news from Shu County, but this news may not be true, and it may also be deliberately released by Shu County to confuse the sight, the purpose is to let the capital relax its vigilance and give the real Li Xin a chance to escape. ”

When the two of them were talking, Xiao Zheng served Li Xin a cup of tea.

The Son of Heaven frowned and said: "I also have this idea, but I am not afraid of ten thousand, just in case, in case Li Shen really escapes, then the war is inevitable, and I have to be prepared." ”

Li Xin said with a smile: "It's not a bad thing to be prepared, when Your Majesty is ready for everything, even if there is no rebellion in southern Xinjiang, the imperial court can also take action first and crusade against the ministers." ”

The Son of Heaven finally had a smile on his face.

"Those who know me, Chang'an, I also have this thought, I have asked the household department to start raising grain and grass, and your forbidden army is also ready to go west, and when everything is ready, I will consider making a move on southern Xinjiang, as long as I take back southern Xinjiang, I can do it once and for all, my Taikang Dynasty will not have any major trouble within ten years!"

"Your Majesty is wise."

At this time, it is time to pat the sycophant.

After Li Xin finished patting his ass, he continued: "As for Li Shen not being in the capital, the minister has an idea, Your Majesty might as well give it a try." ”

"Chang'an said it directly."

Li Xin said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, the eight gates of the capital have been closed for more than a month, and if they are closed any longer, I am afraid that it will cause panic. ”

The Son of Heaven frowned and did not speak.

Li Xin continued: "As for Li Shen's side, the previous general Chong Zhonglang found two corpses, a man and a woman, in the Pingnan Hou Mansion, with the intention of fooling the pass, Your Majesty might as well make a plan and directly declare that these two corpses are Pingnan Hou Li Shen and his wife, and then give them a beautiful funeral. ”

Although Li Shen was characterized as a thief in the imperial court, in fact he was not convicted, until the time when Pingnanhou did not have an accident, he was still the general of the imperial court, the secretary of the military department, and a very popular minister.

The Son of Heaven was interested, and said: "Chang'an, you mean, let's directly announce that Li Shen is dead, so even if Li Shen appears in Southern Xinjiang, it will become a fake?" ”

"It's more than that."

Li Xin lowered his eyebrows and said: "After the funeral, if Li Shen is still in the capital, he will think that the imperial court has given up on searching for him. ”

After thinking for a while, the Son of Heaven nodded firmly.

"Then according to what you said in Chang'an, early tomorrow morning, I announced at the court meeting that Li Shen, the Marquis of Pingnan, had taken water at home, and after a month of rescue, he was still unfortunately killed."

The Marquis of Jing'an's face was calm.

"When the time comes, the minister can also go and offer him incense."

The Son of Heaven laughed.

"I have Chang'an, it's really like a fish in water, now that the forbidden army has fallen into my hands, then there is nothing to be afraid of, I will send people from the three law divisions tomorrow to arrest those Northern Zhou families!"

The case of lying about the disaster was tried for a month and dragged on for a month, and now, Taikang Tianzi finally made up his mind and began to lift the table.

To be exact, it's just lifting the tablecloth.

This world, which has been peaceful for 30 years, will eventually become chaotic.
