The two battalions of forbidden troops have withdrawn from the capital, and now the capital has been fully taken over by the Southwest Army, Mu Ying is personally in charge, and the soldiers of the Southwest Army can be seen everywhere in the streets and alleys, so in the next two days, although there are still some people in the capital who make trouble, but on the whole, there is no big storm.

Because Mu Ying killed someone.

As long as there was a disturbance in the capital within two days, after being caught by the southwest army, he was not sent to prison according to Li Xin's intentions, and was usually caught by Mu Heimian and killed with a knife.

Mu Ying himself killed five people, and the Southwest Army executed more than 30 troublemakers, and the deaths of these people did not go through any judicial procedures, and they were killed with a knife, without any reason.

Mu Ying did this to use these people to warn those who had not yet had time to make trouble, as well as the major forces in the capital who were watching.

Now, the Southwest Army is the truth of the capital, and the Southwest Army can wantonly bypass any rules of the previous imperial court, and can kill people if they want to.

In the face of Mu Ying's tough attitude, by the day before the new emperor ascended the throne, the capital had already been born, and even the petty theft that was common in the capital on weekdays was gone, for fear of being caught and killed by the southwest army.

In the past two days, Li Xin has roughly figured out the framework of the three guards, and he gave Zhao Fang twenty or thirty people, and asked him to go to the major military camps to pick people and form Yulinwei.

As for the internal guard, it was handed over to the dark department under Li Xin to be in charge, and Chen Sixteen, who was hidden in the shadows, personally selected many people and incorporated them into the internal guard camp to become the new internal guard.

As for Qianniuwei, since it was handed over to Mu Ying, Li Xin didn't ask, and Mu Ying also has a big force behind him, and he can get Qianniuwei up soon.

However, even if the three guards are selected, it will take several months or even half a year for these "recruits" from all sides to form a sense of identity.

The time quickly came into the evening.

At this time, three days have passed since the Southwest Army entered the capital, and early tomorrow morning, the new emperor will officially ascend the throne in Weiyang Palace and ascend the throne.

At this time, both inside and outside the imperial city were busy nervously, and even Li Xin and Mu Ying did not leave this night, but personally watched in the imperial city.

At about the end of the day, a soldier of the Hanzhou Army came to Li Xin and bowed to Li Xin and hugged his fists: "General, a eunuch wants to see you......"

Speaking of this, he paused and added: "A eunuch in red clothes, a ...... who follows the emperor"

Originally, Li Xin was still thinking about who wanted to see him, but after hearing this, he had no doubts, he nodded and said, "Let him come over." ”

Soon, this soldier led a eunuch dressed in red clothes and walked in front of Li Xin.

It's Xiao Zheng.

Xiao is the old man of Wei Wangfu, and he entered the palace with the Taikang Emperor, and later because of the appreciation of the Taikang Emperor, he was able to take over Chen Ju's class and take charge of the inner court, which has been more than ten years.

When he entered the palace, he was not very old, only in his twenties, and he was only in his early forties, which was extremely young among the "great eunuchs" of previous dynasties.

But even if he is only forty years old, the temples of this great eunuch already have a little silver light.

He walked up to Li Xin and bowed to Li Xin: "Marquis Li, Your Majesty...... I want to see you. ”

The majesty in Xiao Zheng's mouth naturally will not be someone else, Li Xin nodded slightly, and said, "Grandpa Xiao leads the way." ”

At this time, it is close to midnight, and when it comes to tomorrow morning, Yuan Zhao Tianzi will abdicate, and at the same time it is very likely to lose his life, Li Xin has a master-apprentice relationship with him after all, and he is also his elder, at this time, it is also appropriate to see him.

Under the leadership of Xiao Zheng, the two of them entered the dormitory in the Weiyang Palace, at this time, the Taikang Tianzi in the dormitory has lost the majesty of the former Son of Heaven, not only the clothes are not neat, even the hair is a little scattered, the two eyes are bloodshot, and the whole person looks extremely decadent.

After Xiao Zheng took Li Xin to the dormitory, he stopped and did not follow up.

Li Xin stepped in, moved a chair and sat opposite the embarrassed Son of Heaven, and his voice was calm: "You haven't been short of food in the past few days, you don't need to look like this, you are the Son of Heaven, you should have some dignity of the Son of Heaven." ”

Tianzi lowered his head, and his voice was a little hoarse.

"I ...... I want to have a drink with my teacher. ”

Li Xin nodded slightly and said, "Okay, I'll let people bring in wine and food." ”

Only then did the Son of Heaven slowly raise his head and look at the teacher in front of him who had just entered middle age.

The two looked at each other, as if they were separated from each other.

I remember that more than ten years ago, when the Son of Heaven was only ten years old, he often followed Li Xin, sometimes he was naughty, and he would pull Li Xin's beard that was easy to grow.

More than ten years have passed in a blink of an eye, and the master and apprentice are sitting together, and their situations are very different from each other.

Li Xin looked at the stunned Son of Heaven and sighed slightly.

"You're at odds."

"I don't know how the first emperor explained to you before leaving, but he told me before leaving, let me take care of you."

General Li sat on the chair, looked at the pale face of the Son of Heaven in front of him, and slowly exhaled: "At that time, I promised to come down." ”

"I'm a person, everything I have said counts, I promised that the first emperor would take care of you, and he would take care of you, so when the auxiliary ministers overstepped their powers, I took the opportunity to write a letter and asked you to take charge of the government in advance."

"At that time, as long as you nod, you can take over the court, and I can take care of all the unstable factors for you, but you don't appreciate it."

Li Xin frowned slightly.

"I remember that at that time, it was in Weiyang Palace, and you personally opened your mouth to protect Shen Kuan and the others, thinking that you had a deep way of balance, and you were proud."

Li Xin looked at this disciple of his own, and his tone was calm: "Have you ever thought about how I felt in my heart at that time?" ”

"I... I... I don't know ......."

The Son of Heaven turned pale, looked up at Li Xin, and said in a panicked voice: "Before my father left, I told me that I had to balance the court...... So. ”

Li Xin was expressionless: "At the beginning, I said that I would abolish the four auxiliary ministers, and I would not resign, so how can it not be balanced?" ”

"Let's leave this at that."

The Marquis of Jing'an snorted: "Less than half a year after this incident, you were forced into a corner by Shen Yan and others in the court, at this time, you remembered me as a teacher, and sent a letter to me in the southwest." ”

"I was quite chilled at that time, and I didn't want to go back to the capital and interfere in political affairs, but because I should accept your father, I can't watch you being eaten alive by those old men, so I went to Beijing again and took the knife that was about to cut you on the head on myself."

Li Xin stood up from the chair, put his hands in his sleeves, and his voice was a little cold: "Shen Kuan was strict and clumsy, both of them were auxiliary ministers at that time, and they were also masters of the literary world, after I entered Beijing, I killed them all without saying a word, do you know how much I have been scolded over the years?" ”

"How many scholars do you know who hate to stab me, a reckless man who only knows how to kill, with a pen?"

"I took all the infamy, and once again helped you take the power of the court into your own, at that time I could have stayed in the capital and used the murderous aftermath to take charge of the government, but I didn't, I took my family back to Yongzhou."

"But after this incident, how did Your Majesty treat me as a teacher?"

Mrs. Li's voice was cold.

"Your Majesty began to send assassins to Yongzhou one by one!"

"Have you ever thought about your father, why do you want to worship me as a teacher?!"
