Chapter 397: The Old Man in the Moonlight
Originally, Li Xin was not in a hurry to make a move on Pei Jin, but now he can't.
That Pingnanhou is different from the villain in the TV series, he didn't give Taikang Tianzi a chance to become stronger, but took advantage of the Taikang Tianzi when he was the most vulnerable, and started to do it directly.
No matter how selfish Li Xin has, at least at this juncture, he and Taikang Tianzi are both prosperous and lossy, so Li Xin must act as quickly as possible.
The face of the Son of Heaven was very ugly.
He was silent for a while, and then asked, "Chang'an, this Xingyang Zheng clan ......"
"Just send someone to keep an eye on it."
Li Xin hesitated for a moment and said: "If Your Majesty can trust the minister, the Pingnan Hou Mansion will be handed over to Yu Linwei and Tianmu Jian to deal with together, and the minister will take time to look over there, and try not to turn his face with the Pingnan Hou Mansion for the time being, but he can't let the people of the Zheng family in Xingyang leave the capital." ”
The Son of Heaven sighed.
"If I don't believe in Chang'an, there will be no credible people in the capital."
Taikang Tianzi lowered his eyebrows and said: "The most important thing now is how to replace Pei Jin." ”
It's a headache at this time.
After all, in the past ten years or so, under Pei Jin's hands, the overall situation has been improving.
More than 30 years ago, when Ye Sheng led his troops to break through the Northern Zhou Dynasty, he brought the forbidden army in the capital, but later Ye Sheng handed over the military power, and the combat effectiveness of the forbidden army plummeted, and it was not until Pei Jin took over the forbidden army ten years ago that the combat effectiveness of the forbidden army rebounded.
And Pei Jin is a person who has not made mistakes and is upright, so I really can't think of any reason to pinch him.
Li Xin was silent for a while, and then said slowly: "Your Majesty, if we can't think of how to kill Pei Jin for a while, then we can only promote him first." ”
The position of the general of the forbidden army is a military general of the second grade, from the perspective of leading troops, he is already the peak of military generals, and if he goes up, he can only go to the squad room to be an official.
The Son of Heaven's eyes lit up.
"Chang'an, what do you mean, the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion?"
The Metropolitan Governor's Office is divided into the left and right governors, and oversees the military affairs of the world, which is equivalent to the existence of the Privy Council, and the two governors on the left and right are at least from the first product, and even the existence of the first product can be mentioned.
Li Xin nodded and said: "I can only mention Pei Jin as the right governor of the Dadu Governor's Mansion, so that with the left governor pressing him, he will not make too many waves, and the forbidden army can also be vacated." ”
Saying that, Li Xin said meaningfully: "Pei Jin has no weaknesses, but it is not difficult to find out the handle of those two governors. ”
The Son of Heaven was overjoyed, nodded and said: "This matter will be done according to your wishes in Chang'an, and when I take the position of the right governor, I will immediately start to bring Pei Jin up." ”
Li Xin squinted his eyes and smiled: "It's just that I want to be wronged and wronged Your Majesty, and I want to be this wicked person." ”
The Dadu Governor's Mansion is in charge of the most critical power of the imperial court to transfer troops, so the two governors on the left and right of the Dadu Governor's Mansion are either nobles or clans, and now the two governors of the Dadu Governor's Mansion are surnamed Ji.
In terms of generation, one is the uncle of Taikang Tianzi, and the other is his ancestor.
Taikang Tianzi was a little stunned at first, and then he reacted, and said with a smile: "Don't get in the way, I bear this infamy." ”
Li Xin continued: "I heard that there is a rule in the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, you can't be the governor without a title, and General Pei still needs a title. ”
This is actually a bit difficult to do.
If you don't have martial arts, you can't be knighted, although Pei Jin has the ability, but he really hasn't been on the battlefield seriously, and he can't find an excuse to confer him a knighthood.
The Son of Heaven hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth.
"I don't care about these rules, as long as I can hold the forbidden army in my hands, I will press Pei Jin in the position of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion."
The Son of Heaven said, patted Li Xin's shoulder, and said in a deep voice: "Chang'an, this time, it is not much smaller than the incident in Layue last year, and the only thing I can rely on now is you." ”
"Your Majesty rest assured, the ministers and Your Majesty share weal and woe, and they will do their best to share your Majesty's worries."
"Good ......"
Li Xin bent down and withdrew from Weiyang Palace.
After leaving the palace gate, it was already evening, and he didn't have time to go home, but went to the Yulinwei camp, deployed a lieutenant battalion around the Pingnan Hou Mansion, and stared at the corner of the Pingnan Hou Mansion.
Then he began to consult with Dong Cheng and others, and asked the people of Tianmu Prison to start investigating the two governors of the Dadu Governor's Mansion.
After everything was done, it was already dark, and Li Xin came out of the Yulinwei camp and walked down the street alone.
Chen Sixteen followed behind him and led the horse, ready to let Li Xin get on the horse, but Jing'anhou shook his head and chose not to continue.
He bypassed Datongfang and came to the bank of the Qinhuai River.
Today's Qinhuai River, Deyi Building is still doing thriving, even more prosperous than before.
The boss of the proud building has already been replaced by Li Xin.
After all, his former boss had already sat in that high position, and he could no longer have anything to do with these pickled businesses, and this business was given to Li Xin by the Son of Heaven.
said that it was a gift, but it was exchanged for two percent of the dry shares of Zhurong wine in Li Xin's hand, and when calculated carefully, it was really a loss to grandma's family.
Li Xin passed by the proud building, and he didn't even look at it, but passed by straight by, and walked into an alley in Qinhuai Fang, and turned around the door of a small courtyard.
Li Xin knocked on the door slowly.
After a while, a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl answered the door timidly inside.
"Who?"
Li Xin smiled: "Li Xin." ”
The girl hurriedly opened the door and saluted Li Xin, "Master Li." ”
Her name is Ping'er, and she is Cui Jiuniang's maid.
Li Xin said with a smile: "Is Sister Cui asleep?" ”
"Not yet, the maidservant will call you."
"Okay."
Li Xin stood at the door in an orderly manner and did not go in.
After a while, Cui Jiuniang, who had lost her heavy makeup and was dressed in a cyan cloth, walked over with steps, and after seeing Li Xin, her expression was a little complicated, and she saluted: "Hou Ye Li." ”
Li Xin said respectfully: "Sister Cui." ”
Cui Jiuniang covered her mouth and smiled: "It's rare that the Hou Ye still called me sister, come in and sit." ”
Li Xin shook his head: "It's getting late, the little brother won't go in, this time I just came to see if Sister Cui is doing well." ”
"Okay, why not?"
Jiuniang smiled calmly: "You don't need to greet people with a smile here, you live your own little life every day, write and play, and live a good life." ”
Li Xin said with a smile: "Sister Cui is used to it." ”
Because someone's identity has changed, Cui Jiuniang's identity has also changed, and now she can't show her face anymore, but she can't enter the palace, so she can only live in this small courtyard awkwardly.
Li Xin smiled and said: "Sister Cui, is there anything missing here, if there is something missing, the younger brother will have someone send it to you." ”
Jiuniang smiled meaninglessly: "Don't say that there is no shortage, even if it is lacking, it can't be taken from you." ”
"Why not?"
Li Xin's face was calm: "If Your Majesty is unhappy, I will carry it." ”
"How many times can you carry it?"
Jiuniang let out a long sigh, and then felt that it was rare to see Li Xin once, and she shouldn't be sad, so she smiled again.
"How is Master Hou doing this time?"
"It's all good."
Jiuniang smiled and said, "What about Xiaoxiao, how is the child?" ”
"It's good that she has a playmate now and isn't as withdrawn as she used to be."
Li Xin also sighed.
"When this time passes, I will be able to take her to see Sister Cui."
Jiu Niang smiled and nodded.
"Okay, I'll wait for Master Hou."
The moonlight was shining down, illuminating the two men standing in the doorway.
