Chapter 138: I Have Troubles
"But now it's going to be."
Li Xin's face was calm, and he said indifferently: "If Your Majesty is not willing to let a king with a different surname go out, then Mu Ying and the others will stand on their own, and when the time comes, when the southwest is established, Your Majesty, as the co-lord of the world, will you fight or not?" ”
"Since ancient times, Zhuxia has the rules of supporting the temple, Your Majesty is willing to go out with a different surname at this time, and there can be a reputation of a benevolent monarch who rises and falls, once the southwest is established, Your Majesty will be dragged into this quagmire, and you will no longer be able to move, and when the time comes, not only will the affairs of the Northern Expedition Yuwen be unsettled, Your Majesty's Taikang Dynasty will probably be pulled into the quagmire of the southwest, and you can't move."
The Son of Heaven's face was very ugly.
"Yes...... You could have made them stop! ”
Li Xin looked at the Son of Heaven lightly.
"Your Majesty, five years ago, it was indeed the minister's mediation, at that time, the forbidden army brought the prestige of the Annihilation of the Pingnan Army, and the remnants of Nanshu had agreed to naturalize into the Great Jin Dynasty.
"If this continues, at most twenty or thirty years, that is, the work of a generation, they will really become the people of the Great Jin Dynasty and naturalize into the Great Jin, so that Nanshu will completely cease to exist."
Speaking of this, Li Xin looked up at the Son of Heaven with a calm expression.
"But at this time, the imperial court suddenly sent troops to besiege Hanzhou, beat 10,000 of them, and even burned down many villages in Hanzhou."
"Five years ago, the minister said that he could move them, but after the court's actions, does Your Majesty think that the minister can still move them?"
"They originally thought that the imperial court would really agree with them, and General Pei Da fought a battle, how could these people still believe in me Dajin?"
"At this time, it is impossible for anyone to go to the southwest and let them return to their former state."
Li Xin took a deep breath and continued: "At this time, it is no longer a matter that can be solved by the identity of a person of the Great Jin Dynasty, Your Majesty will not stop if you don't spend money, and it doesn't matter if Your Majesty doesn't want to give this King of Shu, there are still more than 300,000 forbidden troops in Gyeonggi, whether it is a person from the Seed Family or the Xie Family, Your Majesty assigns one, and the person who leads the right or left battalion of the forbidden army will go west again, and it will only take two or three years to come, and the southwest will be pacified." ”
If the Son of Heaven had the "Heavenly Thunder" in his hand at this time, he would not hesitate to agree with Li Xin's words, send someone from the Seed Family, or directly send Hou Jingde to the west again, but at the moment he didn't know how powerful that Heavenly Thunder was.
After all, from Emperor Wu to Chengde Tianzi thirty years ago, the southwest has not been in the hands of the imperial court, but if the forbidden army is killed and injured on a large scale, and the imperial court is dragged into the quagmire of the southwest, then it is not as simple as a major injury to the vitality......
It's about shaking the country's foundation!
The Son of Heaven frowned.
After the founding of the Great Jin Dynasty, it was a small country with partial peace, and it was only during the period of Emperor Wu that it counterattacked in one fell swoop and successfully unified, and then there was the Holy Son of Heaven in the dynasty, and the national strength became stronger and stronger, and when it reached his hands, this was a dynasty in its heyday, and it was impossible for him to let this heyday dynasty come to the point of shaking the country's capital in his own hands!
For the sake of a southwest, it's not worth it.
The Son of Heaven frowned and thought for a long time, and finally slowly closed his eyes.
"I agreed to the conditions you said."
The Son of Heaven was expressionless, and said slowly: "But Mu Ying's behavior in the southwest must be stopped immediately, and the so-called lord of Nanshu will also come to the capital and kowtow to me, so that I will canonize him as the king of Shu." ”
"After that, in the southwest, except for Hanzhou, other places still have to pay taxes to the imperial court, and Hanzhou is even a fief I gave to this king of Shu."
In the final analysis, this time it was the Son of Heaven who wanted to pull out the wings of the Marquis of Jing'an, and finally found that these wings were all made of iron, not only did they not pull them out, but they also cut their hands by this wing.
What he has paid now is the blood that has been shed.
Li Xin's face was calm.
"Your Majesty is so open-minded, and the minister admires it very much."
The Son of Heaven looked at Li Xin angrily: "You can write a letter with Mu Ying now?" ”
Li Xin shook his head.
"Your Majesty misunderstood, the minister has never been able to control Mu Ying, this time he made a mess, and it was not the minister's intention, now His Majesty has made his own conditions, he can send someone to the southwest with the Zhao'an Holy Decree to recruit the Hanzhou army, and he has nothing to do with the minister."
He took a deep breath and said, "The minister was a guarantor five years ago, but His Majesty blatantly breached the contract, and now the minister has also lost his credit in front of the people of Hanzhou, and it is not easy to meddle in." ”
The Son of Heaven was almost about to slap the table.
His voice was furious.
"Li Chang'an, I have already given in, if the southwest rebels still don't know what to do, then I will immediately transfer the forbidden army to the southwest to quell the rebellion, and the Yuwen tribes in the north are great, I won't fight!"
Li Xin got up and looked deeply at the Son of Heaven.
"If Your Majesty can trust the minister, the minister can be cheeky again, go to the southwest on behalf of the court, and have a good talk with Mu Ying and others."
At this, he paused.
"It's just that whether it will be successful or not, the minister can't guarantee it."
"You can't go out of Beijing."
The tone of the Son of Heaven was firm, and there was no room for negotiation.
Of course, Li Xin can't go out of Beijing, and now the Pingnan Army in the southwest has rebelled, if Li Xin goes to the southwest again, he contacts the old Pingnan Army of that year, and his wife is not in the capital, and he can put up a flag to rebel at any time.
A Mu Ying erected a flag in the southwest to rebel, which has already given the Son of Heaven a headache, if Li Xin goes to the southwest to be a thief again, I am afraid that the Son of Heaven will not be able to sleep for the rest of his life!
In a short period of time, it is impossible for the Son of Heaven to let Li Xin out of Beijing.
The Marquis of Jing'an took a deep breath and said, "Everything is arranged by His Majesty, and the minister will retire first." ”
The Son of Heaven was silent for a while, and then slowly spoke.
"I won't kill you, just bring back Xiao Jiu and my nieces and nieces, no matter how cold-blooded I am, I won't kill my relatives, let alone use them to threaten you with anything."
Li Xin bowed slightly, signaling that he understood.
He slowly withdrew from Weiyang Palace.
The Son of Heaven hesitated for a moment, and finally spoke: "Chang'an......"
Li Xin stopped.
The Son of Heaven continued.
"I ...... As the emperor, there are some things that I can't help myself and have to do, and I also have my troubles. ”
Li Xin nodded slightly and slowly withdrew from Weiyang Palace.
The Son of Heaven, who was sitting on the throne in the study, looked at Li Xin's back and sighed helplessly.
His face turned a little pale, and he coughed violently.
The little eunuch who was waiting on the side immediately surrounded him and handed the Son of Heaven a pill, and after the Son of Heaven closed his eyes and swallowed the water, his face slowly improved.
After a long time, the Son of Heaven finally recovered, and after a moment of silence, he slowly asked, "Is Xiao Zheng back?" ”
Just now, Xiao Zheng was sent by him to Zhaoling to check whether Li Shen had died back then, but Zhaoling was one or twenty miles away from the capital, and it was naturally impossible for Xiao Zheng to come back at this time.
The eunuch on the side bowed his head respectfully.
"Back to Your Majesty, the Grand Duke has not returned to the palace yet."
The Son of Heaven nodded.
"I'm tired, go back to the dormitory and rest."
So, a group of eunuchs immediately brought a sedan chair and waited for the Son of Heaven to sit on it.
The Son of Heaven sat in the sedan chair, closed his eyes and thought for a while, and then spoke.
"After Xiao Zheng returns to the palace, let him come to see me as soon as possible."
