September of the second year of Yankang.

The autumn is high and cool, and the coolness in the air is finally much more obvious, and the temperature in the capital, which has been hot for several months, has slowly dropped.

In the two or three months from July to September, all the yamen in the capital were taken over by Li Shuo's Shenwu Guard, although the political affairs were still running as usual, but the entire core had been completely controlled by Li Xin.

During this time, Zhou Youyi led a group of civil officials to carry out the second persuasion, this time the persuasion was huge, with at least more than 80 court officials participating, including ......

There are officials from the Southwest Department.

Although Li Xin still did not agree in the end, the departure of the officials of the Southwest Department has already released a clear signal to everyone in the court.

So, since the second persuasion, all kinds of auspicious rays have emerged in the court, and these auspicious rays are strange, but in the final analysis, there is only one purpose, that is, to shoot Li Xin's sycophants.

In the end, Zhao Jia, who was in charge of political affairs, took the trouble and personally issued a ban prohibiting anyone from offering auspicious rui, and this farce came to an end.

Li Xin's sycophants can't be beaten, these people will naturally go to other ways, including Zhao Jia and Li Shuo, as long as they are officials from the southwest line, almost every family is in the market during this time, and officials in the court, and even wealthy businessmen outside the court, are scrambling to give them gifts, so as to take advantage of the relationship with the southwest line.

After all, these people from the southwest line are likely to be serious heroes in the future.

However, in the Jing'an Hou Mansion, it is still relatively calm, and Li Dadu Governor himself, except for an occasional trip to the Dadu Governor's Mansion to check the military, most of the rest of the time stays in the Jing'an Hou Mansion and does not go out.

However, although Li Xin did not go out, he didn't know how many documents there were every day, and flew into the Jing'an Hou Mansion like snowflakes, and others were not in the court, but the Jing'an Hou Mansion became the actual center of the court and the supreme will of the court.

It is worth mentioning that the news of Zhou Youyi and others' second persuasion was deliberately publicized by people from the southwest department, and it took less than a month to make it known to almost the world, which directly led to the emergence of many rebels from all over the country again.

This is deliberately done by Zhao Jia and others, and the purpose of this is to also lead to these hidden dangers, so as to prevent them from gathering together to break out and have no time to deal with it.

During this time, there were a total of seven or eight rebels in the states and counties of the Great Jin Dynasty, most of which were clans with the surname Ji, but they did not have any climate, and they were quickly pacified by the local government.

The only clan that rebelled in the Mingzhou Mansion near the capital was exterminated by Li Shuo himself, and the Shenwuwei General personally pasted a notice written in the blood of the surname Ji on the wall of the Mingzhou Mansion after exterminating the rebellious party.

"If the Ji clan rebels again, the whole clan will sit together!"

No one knows whether this terrifying proclamation is the meaning of this Shenwuwei general, or the meaning of the governor who has been hiding in the shadows, but after this edict was announced to the world, there was no rebellion led by the Ji clan in various places.

Because no one knows if the Metropolitan Governor, who has not shown up for a long time, will really be ruthless and slaughter his wife and clan!

…………

On the fifth day of the ninth month of the second year of Yankang, the army of Mu Ying's class returning to the dynasty was less than 200 miles away from the capital.

At this time, the high-level officials of the first department in the southwest had already prepared all the things that should be prepared, and Zhao Jia, who was the right minister of Shangshutai, did not even go to work in Shangshutai for two or three days, but stayed in the Jing'an Hou Mansion all day long, discussing some details with Li Xin.

Li Shuo, who went to Mingzhou to quell the rebellion, had also returned to Beijing at this time, basically living in the Jing'an Hou Mansion, and had not even returned home.

In the living room of the Marquis of Jing'an, two giants of the southwest line sat under Li Xin, with a clear distinction between primary and secondary.

Li Xin had already put on a slightly thicker robe at this time, and said to Zhao Jia: "Brother Mu will be able to return to the capital in about two or three days." ”

"When the time comes, the imperial court will arrange for the Son of Heaven to go out of the city to greet him, and discuss the merits of the Longwu guards who have traveled thousands of miles."

Mu Ying led the troops out of the city after the year, and more than half a year has passed in a blink of an eye, and in this half a year, he led the troops to attack about 5,000 miles, and there was a death battle with the Xianbei King Tent.

Zhao Jia put down the tea cup in his hand, shook his head and said: "The son of heaven in the palace has become more and more restless in the past half a year, and he was unwilling to go to the court two months ago. ”

Li Xin frowned slightly, then shook his head and said: "That's it, he is not happy, it is understandable, the day after tomorrow, I will personally go to the palace and explain the matter to him." ”

Li Shuo, who had been silent on the side, suddenly spoke: "Metropolitan Governor, if there is a rebellious clan in the future, how should we deal with it?" ”

"Didn't I let you make the rules in Mingzhou?"

Li Xin's face was calm: "Since it has been established, it will be half according to the rules, and if there is any rebellion from the clan in the future, it will be beheaded all over the house." ”

Speaking of this, Li Xin paused and said: "Zhulian will stop at three generations, if Zhulian and his lineage are not pursued, they will not be pursued for the time being." ”

The main vein of the Ji family is the vein of Taikang Tianzi, Taikang Tianzi has passed away, he has more than a dozen sons, but only two sons-in-law are considered to be concubines.

What Li Xin meant by this sentence was that if there was another rebellion by the Ji family's clan, two more generations of the same clan would be pursued along that branch.

This rule is not particularly harsh, because the Great Jin Dynasty has been passed down to the present, and by the generation of Yuan Zhao and Yankang, it is already the eighth generation, and the clans of various states and counties rarely have branches that are very close to the lineage.

Even if there were, similar to King Zhao of Gusu, they had already been looked at by Li Xin's faction.

Li Shuo immediately bowed his head: "The last general understands." ”

Li Xin sat on the main seat, lowered his head and took a sip of tea, and then continued: "In the past two days, Brother You'an, you can't be idle, the officials above the fifth grade in the capital have all probed the wind in advance, as well as those students in the Guozi Prison, and the famous scholars and Confucians in the capital and around the capital, all have to say hello in advance." ”

Li Dadududu's face was expressionless, and he said in a deep voice: "Tell them that I have a good temper on weekdays, as long as they don't die, I will never commit any crimes." ”

"At this time, if there is a person with high integrity, you can leave the capital, I will not stop it, and I will not send someone to intercept it, but when that day really comes, there are still people who jump out to "sacrifice their lives for righteousness", then the steel knife in Li's hand can also cut his head! ”

The people of the Southwest Department like to hear Li Xin say this kind of thing, Zhao Jia and Li Shuo both heard this, their eyes lit up, and they bowed their heads and said: "Don't worry, the subordinates must be arranged!" ”

Governor Li nodded.

"In this case, we will wait in the capital, waiting for Mu Ying's triumph."

He got up from his chair, walked to the door of the living room, looked up at the cloudless sky outside, and let out a long breath.

"Personnel are exhausted, and the destiny is here?"
