Chapter Ninety-Nine: I Have Some Personal Matters
The letter arrived in the evening, and after Li Xin received the letter, he locked himself in his study and stayed alone for a long time, without seeing anyone.
The Marquis of Jing'an in the study had this letter paper with many wrinkles in front of him, and he was draped with a big coat on his body, and his face was expressionless.
At this moment, he was angry.
This kind of anger is not because of the methods of the imperial court, after all, everyone has a different position, and it is not surprising to do so.
What made Li Xin angry was that he was entrusted by the Son of Heaven to be transferred to the north to do things for the imperial court, and he was indeed planning the northern frontier for the imperial court, but when he gave up the peaceful son in the capital and ran to the north to suffer, he suddenly looked back and saw that his base was ...... Stolen?
This made him angry.
After reading the letter several times, Li Xin finally folded the letter seriously, put it back in the envelope, and found a wooden box to keep it well.
He looked at the flickering oil lamp in front of him, and slowly exhaled a mouthful of white mist.
"I came to the north with the intention of doing things for you......"
Li Houye muttered to himself.
"I met with Yu Wenzhao and talked for three whole days......"
Li Xin and Yu Wenzhao are both smart people, and when the two of them meet and talk, they must be cautious and cautious in every word and deed, and as for the details of the negotiation, they have to spend a lot of effort on every word, and Li Xin spent a lot of effort in those three days.
After he had finished talking, he went back to his lodgings and slept for a day and a night.
At this time, he felt a little sad.
"I have even roughly figured out how to sweep away the northern frontier, give me three years, even if the Yuwen tribes in the north cannot be destroyed, they will not be a threat to the Great Jin for at least thirty or forty years."
Li Xin muttered to himself in the light of the oil lamp, as if he was talking to an invisible person.
"But at this time, you sent someone to the southwest."
"You want to take the Hanzhou Mansion."
The face of the Marquis of Jing'an was a little hideous.
"From the third year of Taikang to the present, five years, I have done almost nothing, and I have not done anything on the side of Hanzhou City, if you don't move, they will be the people of the Great Jin, and I will also be the courtiers of the Great Jin!"
"I treat you with sincerity, and you treat me like a coward!"
Speaking of this, the young general finally couldn't hold back the anger in his heart and slapped the table heavily.
"Fuck you!"
Marquis Li said a dirty word after a long absence.
"Why!"
In fact, this "why" is a bit naïve to ask, everyone knows that the authority of a courtier in the court is too heavy, and even raising private soldiers will naturally cause the emperor's dissatisfaction and jealousy, under this premise, it is natural and natural for the emperor to eradicate the private soldiers of the ministers.
Li Xin naturally understood this truth early on.
The reason why he asked this "why" was because deep down, he had a little naïve fantasy about Taikang Tianzi.
He fantasized that everyone could live in peace, live a life in peace, and finally write a good story of monarchs and ministers in the history books of the Great Jin Dynasty.
In the future, after a hundred years of Li Xin, the Hanzhou Mansion will naturally integrate into the Great Jin Dynasty, and the Mu family will also become the courtiers of the Great Jin Dynasty.
This is the best possible ending.
But at this time, the little illusion that Li Xin had was ruthlessly shattered.
But until now, he still has two options.
The first is naturally to turn a blind eye to the southwest, he has been in the capital for five years, and the emperor has not done anything to him, it is conceivable that the emperor may not really do anything to him, it is very likely that he just wants to cut off his claws, pull out his teeth, and let him be a courtier in peace.
At this time, as long as Li Xin turned a blind eye to the affairs of the southwest, continued to be his own general of Zhenbei, and even made great contributions in the north, he returned to the dynasty in triumph a few years later, and returned to the capital.
At most, Li Xin will be his own colt in the future, and he will have some children.
This is actually a very good choice, after all, Li Xin's family is in the capital, and at this time, the southwest is thousands of miles away, it is difficult for him to help the southwest, at this time, as long as he closes his eyes and covers his ears, he can't see the war in Hanzhou, and he can't hear the wails of the Mu family.
It's not that hard.
It is rare that Li Xin's character cannot just watch the Hanzhou army in the southwest disappear, which is not only related to his personal strength, but also related to the life and death of the Mu family, and the life and death of the two hundred Lin Wei who left him in Hanzhou back then.
He is not an ostrich.
Therefore, he couldn't take this path, so he had to choose another path.
That is to help the Hanzhou army carry it over.
The Marquis of Jing'an stayed alone in the study, in a daze for several hours, until late at night, when the second messenger arrived.
Mu Ying sent a total of five people to deliver the letter, the first one arrived in the evening, and he had already gone down to rest at this time, and the second one arrived late at night, he knelt in front of Li Xin, took out a sweat-soaked letter from his arms, and kowtowed: "Master Hou, on the order of General Mu, come to deliver a letter to Lord Hou." ”
Li Xin silently patted him on the shoulder and took a deep breath.
"Got it, go down and rest."
After speaking, Li Xin asked the second messenger to take him down to rest.
Then, Li Xin sat in the study, looked at the letter, which was much more wrinkled than the first one, and took several deep breaths.
"Go, call Ye Mao over."
Hearing Li Xin's words, the guards who had been serving him at the door immediately whispered, and ran to the Zhenbei Army camp to call people.
The little grandfather gave Li Xin a lot of face, even if it was already early in the morning, after hearing Li Xin's call, he didn't even put on his armor, and hurried to the garden where Li Xin lived.
The door of the study was tightly closed, because there were no outsiders, after the little grandfather saluted Li Xin, he asked, "Uncle Shi, what's wrong, looking for me so late?" ”
Li Xin glanced at Ye Mao quietly, and slowly spoke: "Ye Mao, I want to leave Jimen Pass for a while." ”
Ye Mao looked up in amazement: "Uncle Shi, you are the general of Zhenbei, if you leave, won't you leave your post without permission?" ”
Marquis Jing'an took a deep breath.
"I'm leaving, but General Zhenbei won't leave, anyway, I've been living in this garden during this time, and the affairs of the Zhenbei Army are all handed over to you to deal with, after I leave, there will still be a me in this garden, and then the military affairs of your Zhenbei Army can be sent to this garden, but you can get it yourself in advance, and then move out."
Hearing Li Xin's words, Ye Mao knew that his uncle, he had already decided to leave Jimen Pass, he was silent for a while, and asked, "Uncle Shi has encountered something?" ”
Li Xin was silent for a moment, and said slowly: "It's some of my own private affairs. ”
He didn't want to implicate the Ye family in this matter.
Ye Mao was anxious.
"Uncle Shi, what are these words? In the past few years, it was Uncle Shi who helped the Ye family, but now Uncle Shi has an accident, but he doesn't tell us, Grandfather Quanxia knows, and he will also say that our children and grandchildren don't know how to be gracious! ”
Li Xin stood up from his chair and took a deep breath.
"It's useless to talk about this matter, it can't implicate the Ye family, in short, I want to leave for a while, as short as two or three months, as long as half a year, during this time, everything in the Zhenbei Army is entrusted to you!"
The Marquis of Jing'an's face was solemn.
"You remember one thing, if I don't come back, the Zhenbei Army is not allowed to use troops against the Yuwen Tribes, no matter what the situation is, they can't go out of Jimen Pass!"
