In the face of absolute power, the trust between people is too weak, not only weak, but even can be said to be completely unable to resist the test of power.

Because of this, it led to the conflict between the two generations, which continues to this day.

It is also for this reason that Li Xin will be separated from the Ji family, from a charcoal seller, to a "careerist" in the eyes of outsiders.

Hearing Ram Shu's words, Li Xin slowly shook his head.

"What the old minister said is not right, I am a Jin person, but the son of heaven in the capital, the hundred officials are also Jin people, according to the old minister, the old men in the capital should not want to see the lives of the people, if they open the city at this time and surrender, let the southwest army enter the city, naturally there will be no military disasters, and there will be no scenes of misery."

"Since everyone is from Jin, there is no reason for me Li Xin to be a saint alone, why should my Southwest Army withdraw because of the idea of mercy, and the court can't surrender because of the idea of compassion?"

The ram frowned.

"Li Hou Ye is certainly sharp-toothed, but there are too many crooked reasons, the first emperor has been in the southwest of the king of Shu, to this dynasty, the southwest even taxes are no longer handed over to the court, in fact, it has become a country of its own, from the Hou Ye troops, the court has sent people to contact the Hou Ye more than once, if the Hou Ye withdraws the troops, the court will never be stingy with a hereditary replacement of the southwest king to Hou Ye, even if the Hou Ye wants to open a national temple, at this time the court will also recognize the country established by the Hou Ye in the southwest, from beginning to end is Li Hou Ye You are pressing step by step, The imperial court has been striving to strike the army and make peace, how did it come to the mouth of Marquis Li, and it became that the imperial court did nothing? ”

General Li sneered slightly.

"In the past few years, the imperial court has assassinated me dozens of times, which is also called stepping back? If the Southwest Army is weak and powerless, most of the forbidden troops of the imperial court have already entered Jincheng at this time, and took away the head of Li Mouxiang, and the Southwest Army fought all the way from the southwest to the capital city, relying on ability, not the court's charity. ”

"I know what the Son of Heaven in the capital is thinking, according to the time, most of the imperial court has now made the powder of gunpowder, as long as it is delayed for a few years, the firearms of the imperial court can gradually take shape, and when the time comes, the humiliation suffered by the Great Jin Heavenly Family today will make the Southwest Army repay it tenfold and hundredfold."

"I'm not talking about it, sir?"

Ram Shu shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Hou Ye Li has to think like this, the old man has nothing to say, it seems that the old man has indeed come for nothing, and he will rest in Luzhou City for one night today, and tomorrow morning, the old man will leave to return to the capital." ”

Li Xin's face was calm, and he said lightly: "If you want to talk, it's not that you can't talk about it at all, according to what I mean, Emperor Yuanzhao immediately issued an edict of abdication, passed on the throne to the sixth prince Ji Ying, and then the Son of Heaven himself went out of the city to Luzhou, and the old minister led people to take the six princes into the capital's heir, and at the same time, the Gyeonggi Forbidden Army was transferred away from the capital for a hundred miles, and our southwest army also withdrew from the capital for a hundred miles. ”

"What does the old man think?"

Ram Shu lowered his head and groaned, and said: "The old man said before that His Majesty can issue an edict of abdication, and the six princes can enter Beijing at any time, but the Gyeonggi Forbidden Army cannot move, and the Southwest Army must withdraw a hundred miles away. ”

Speaking of this, the old man stroked his gray beard and said in a deep voice: "But in any case, today you must not go out of the city to make a proton for your Southwest Army, otherwise it will be the first ugly thing in the more than 100 years since the founding of the Great Jin Dynasty, and it will be engraved on the history for thousands of generations, giving future generations a shame!" ”

General Li said dumbly: "Since the old minister insists on this, there is really no need to negotiate, and the younger generation has a few good words to advise the old minister." ”

At this time, Ram Shu was still walking in front, Li Xin was walking behind him, and when he heard this, the old man stopped, looked back at Li Xin, and stopped.

"Master Li, please speak."

Li Xin narrowed his eyes, and there was a slight anger in his gaze.

"Old Xiangye thinks that the Southwest Army is so sure that it will be able to capture the capital?"

Ram Shu shook his head: "The old man doesn't know, but you shouldn't be too sure if you want to come to Hou Ye Li, otherwise at this time, Hou Ye Li would not have taken time out of his busy schedule to talk so much nonsense with the old man." ”

Li Xin grinned: "There are always three or four percent, right?" ”

Ram Shu was silent, and after being silent for a long time, he said slowly: "The troops of the two Zhichong Mansions were scattered overnight by that Li Shuo under the command of Hou Ye, and the combat power of the Southwest Army is so strong, three or four percent of the certainty is naturally there." ”

"Then it should be a three-percent certainty."

General Li put his hands behind his back, and his voice was a little low.

"At this time, the court is united, abolishing the Son of Heaven, welcoming the six princes into the throne of Beijing, and preserving the combat power of the Jinggi Forbidden Army, so even if our southwest army enters Beijing, the Great Jin is still the Great Jin, and the Ji family will still be the Ji family, the rules of etiquette are still there, the forbidden army still has combat power, Li is at most a powerful minister in Beijing, and the emperor will still be surnamed Ji in the future, and the official master in the court will still be the official master."

Speaking of this, Li Xin narrowed his eyes slightly, and continued: "But if our Southwest Army seizes the opportunity of this thirty percent, breaks the forbidden army, and enters the capital hard, even if Li wants to let the world continue to be surnamed Ji, the Southwest Army will forcibly let him be surnamed Li, and when the artifact changes hands, the world will change his surname, like the old Xiangye, a civil official of the Great Jin Dynasty, will it still be a civil official of the new dynasty?" ”

"The old minister has gone through three dynasties without falling, and he is still working for the Son of Heaven in the capital, and the truth of this does not need me to tell the old minister, you can naturally understand it."

Ram Shu's face became a little ugly, he frowned, stroked the few gray beards under his chin, and snorted: "If what Marquis Li said is true, the old man can make the decision now, welcome the six princes into the heir of the capital, and force the Son of Heaven to abdicate, but once the southwest army enters the capital, what will it look like in the future, it is up to Marquis Li, how can the old man believe it?" ”

"The old man can only believe me."

Li Xin's face was calm, and he said: "Let me enter Beijing at this time, the whole of the southwest army will remember the merits of the Chinese officials of the dynasty, and even if the artifact is easier at that time, the civilian officials will still be civilian officials, and the emperor will not be replaced, and it will be difficult to hear, but in fact, it has nothing to do with you." ”

The old man's face was flushed with anger by this sentence, he gritted his teeth, and said angrily: "Do you Li Changan think that all the people in the world are people who have no integrity?!" ”

"There are so many civil officials, and they naturally have integrity, this thing can't be eaten, if they are not willing to continue to be officials in the court, when the time comes, I can assure the old man that if the imperial court opens the city and allows the southwest army to enter Beijing, I will not kill any civil official indiscriminately."

The old man's face was ugly and he didn't say a word.

When he said this, the two of them had already walked to the edge of the city wall of Luzhou City, Li Xin invited the ram Shu to the city wall, and then the two of them looked in the direction of the capital together.

General Li pointed to the capital, looked up at the sky again, and then said: "My southwest army is in front of the capital, whether to fight at this time, the decision is not in my hands, but in the hands of the imperial court, the imperial court opens the city gate, and naturally avoids a military disaster." ”

"If the imperial court does not open the city gates......"

Li Xin narrowed his eyes, looked at the capital, and muttered to himself.

"At this moment, most of Li Shuo's artillery fire has already fallen on the walls of the capital."
