"Yesterday I set off normally."

Li Xin lowered his head slightly, and said slowly: "According to the calculation, there shouldn't be any big problems, Ye Mao is not a stupid person, he knows the seriousness of the matter, if nothing else, His Majesty will be able to see those people from the Northern Zhou clan being escorted to the capital in the future." ”

The Son of Heaven nodded.

"Those people are very hateful, I heard that the text has spread all over the northern counties, and most of the Shu counties are also spreading, and it will not be long before my reputation will be ruined by these animals, and if I don't kill them, I will be angry in my heart."

Li Xin nodded and said: "These people are damned, in addition, Your Majesty should also post the imperial list in the local place to explain the key to it, otherwise some foolish people may be bewitched by thieves and cause great harm." ”

Speaking of this, Li Xin paused and continued: "Those rumors are everywhere in the world, and as long as Your Majesty distributes what has been verified by the Criminal Department, the rumors will be dispersed. ”

Li Xin and Taikang Tianzi are on the same front, at least now the two of them are still in the same spirit, so at this time, Li Xin is still willing to help his "little partner", after all, if Li Shen wins, if Li Xin does not obediently give him his son, then he can only hide in the deep mountains and old forests.

The Son of Heaven frowned slightly.

"After a long time, the rumors have dispersed, is it necessary to post the emperor's list?"

You don't know how powerful the work of the masses is......

Li Xin Xin complained and said with a wry smile: "Your Majesty, those who win the hearts of the people win the world, the time and place are favorable, they are not as good as people and two words, besides, the thief has a waste prince in hand, so we must be careful no matter what." ”

The Son of Heaven nodded and spoke, "I will let people do this." ”

Calculate the time, it has been nearly a year since the new emperor ascended the throne, and today's Taikang Tianzi is much calmer than when he first ascended the throne, at least he looks like a mature emperor.

The Son of Heaven walked up to a pot of snow-white autumn chrysanthemums, bent down and sniffed it, then looked back at Li Xin.

"Chang'an, is there a way for the Mu family you arranged in southern Xinjiang to contact the eldest brother?"

"I don't know, but the minister can send someone to ask."

Li Xin said in a low voice: "But probably not, although the remnants of Nanshu have dealings with the Pingnan Army, but after all, they are two camps, and the abolished prince is definitely the top priority in Southern Xinjiang, and Li Shen will not let outsiders contact him." ”

Marquis Jing Anhou glanced up at the emperor and asked, "What does Your Majesty mean?" ”

The Son of Heaven slowly closed his eyes.

"The eldest brother's family is still in the capital, and I wonder if I can use this as a condition, can I let the eldest brother return to Beijing and avoid a disaster."

At the beginning of the palace change, the abolished prince fled from the palace in embarrassment, and there was no time to transfer his family, and the prince's wife and children who stayed in the East Palace were all arrested by Taikang Tianzi, and now they are locked up in the former Qin Palace.

"What if I send a messenger to Southern Xinjiang to convey this?"

Li Xin thought for a while, and finally shook his head slowly: "Most of the time, you won't see the abolished prince." ”

"Even if you see it, this kind of means of coercing people is not done by the king, Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, you can't do this kind of vulgar behavior, the minister thinks that it's okay to send envoys to persuade you to surrender like Southern Xinjiang, but don't make a fuss about the abolition of the prince's family."

Taikang Tianzi sighed.

"I'm worried about dying too many people."

"If you are a villain, you can avoid this disaster, and you can let the eldest brother return to Beijing, and it is nothing for me to be a villain once, as long as the eldest brother returns to Beijing, Li Shen and the others are rootless duckweed, not worth mentioning."

It's a nice thing to say.

Throughout the ages, no emperor will not care about his reputation, even if this thing is done, this "villain act" will not be done by the emperor, but someone in the court jumped out to carry the black pot for the emperor, and Li Xin, who is in charge of southern Xinjiang affairs, is likely to be this person who carries the blame.

The two of them talked about some affairs in southern Xinjiang in detail, and then mentioned the matter of the right camp of the forbidden army.

"Ye Ming went to your camp?"

"Go."

Li Xin said in a low voice: "General Ye arrived yesterday, and the minister has already sent someone to take him to familiarize himself with the forbidden army." ”

Li Xin is naturally a senior brother in front of the Ye family, but in front of the emperor, he can't be too close, otherwise the emperor will feel uncomfortable even if he doesn't say anything.

Taikang Tianzi frowned slightly.

"Since he is in the forbidden army, you shouldn't come back to Chang'an, I asked him to familiarize himself with the forbidden army, just so that he can be more comfortable in the future, not let him really take the forbidden army with him."

The Son of Heaven was blunt.

"This forbidden army is the lifeblood of the capital, and only in your hands in Chang'an can I sleep."

Li Xin lowered his head and smiled bitterly: "The minister has no choice, the queen mother is already discussing the marriage date, according to the queen mother's meaning, if it is not the twenty-third of the lunar month, it is the twenty-seventh of the lunar month, seeing that there is still a month to go, the minister has to go back to Beijing to make preparations, otherwise the Jing'an Hou Mansion will lose its manners, and His Majesty's face will not look good." ”

"That's right."

A smile appeared on the Son of Heaven's face.

"The matter between you and Xiao Jiu is also a big event at the moment, when my father's death day passes, I will immediately issue a decree to give marriage, during this time, you take the time to accompany Xiao Jiu, and when my holy decree comes down, the two of you will not be able to meet."

Li Xin bowed his head and said, "The minister obeys the order." ”

The Son of Heaven laughed at Li Xin for a few words, then hesitated for a moment, and asked, "Your family in Yongzhou, do you want to notify you?" Now send them a letter with an expedited message, and they should still have a chance to come to Beijing. ”

Li Xin did not speak.

The Son of Heaven sighed and said, "I have also heard some about you and the Xiao family, and you will make trouble, but when you get married, you can't have no elders on your side, otherwise Xiao Jiu won't even have a person to serve tea at that time, it's too unusual." ”

Li Xin took a deep breath and said in a low voice: "Those people don't have any affection for the minister, so they won't inform them, as for the elders on the minister's side, just let Ye Guogong come." ”

Saying that, Li Xin smiled bitterly: "According to the minister, this state affairs are too hasty, and many things have not yet had time to prepare, while Your Majesty has not yet made an order, what does the minister mean, it is better to postpone it for a while?" ”

The Son of Heaven said helplessly: "Once the southern Xinjiang army rises, you will have to go west with Ye Ming, more than 30 years ago, it took eight years for the Great Jin Dynasty to fight Nanshu to defeat Nanshu, and now Li Shen's troops are more than the old Nanshu, God knows how long it will take?" ”

"So before you go on the expedition, this marriage must be done."

Emperor Taikang's tone was firm: "Xiao Jiu is seventeen years old this year, and the queen mother was urging her to be in a hurry, and after a few years, the queen mother doesn't know what to be in a hurry, maybe she will marry someone else." ”

At this time, wars were fought because of the restrictions of transportation conditions and the lack of weapons of mass destruction, so the time unit for fighting a war was calculated in "years", and the end of two or three years was considered short, and it was normal for a war to be fought for four or five years.

The battle between the imperial court and southern Xinjiang, no one knows how long it will last.

Li Xin bowed his head deeply: "Then the minister will go and prepare." ”

"Go ahead."

The Son of Heaven smiled.

"I'm just such a sister, after she marries into the Li family, you have to treat her better in Chang'an, if she comes back and complains that you bullied her, I will settle accounts with you."

Li Xin smiled helplessly.

"Your Majesty, it's better to tell the ninth princess to say this, if she doesn't bully the ministers, it's good."
