Chapter 207: The Power of Words
These few words can be said to be the pinnacle of Li Xin's own speech.
Li Xin's simple answer not only took out the Seventh Prince, but even he himself.
This is the most perfect answer that Li Xin can think of at present.
If it weren't for the fact that he was doing marketing in his previous life and eating by mouth, he probably wouldn't be able to say these words so fluently.
More crucial is the last sentence.
In the eyes of the Son of Heaven in Chengde before, although Li Xin had a conflict with the Marquis of Pingnan, he was the bloodline of the Li family after all, and it was unknown whether he should trust it or not, but now, Li Xin took the initiative to upgrade this relationship to the level of "hatred", and Li Xin has taken action for this hatred, which makes the degree of trust in Li Xin of Chengde Son even more.
After all, if Li Xin was bent on bringing down the Pingnanhou Mansion, then he would be on the same front as the Chengde Emperor.
His Majesty the Emperor quietly looked at Li Xin, who was kneeling on the ground, and squinted his eyes slightly: "You said that you want to use those remnants of Nanshu to deal with the Pingnan Army, and you can tell me, how to deal with the Pingnan Army?" β
Li Xin lowered his head and said in a deep voice: "Back to Your Majesty, up to now, the minister has not yet had a specific charter, but the leader of Southern Shu, Li Xing, is also dissatisfied with the Pingnan Hou Mansion, this matter can be used, in the future, when Your Majesty really wants to make a move on Southern Xinjiang, this line will have a purpose, if you can make the two Li families turn against each other, then it will be easy to recover Shu County." β
Speaking of this, Li Xin lowered his head and continued: "Even if you can't let these two families turn against each other, as long as there are some gaps between them, the difficulty of doing it in the future will be greatly reduced. β
The Son of Chengde sneered: "If these two families are together, they will live, and if they are separated, they will not go against each other on this matter of life and death." β
Li Xin glanced up at the Son of Heaven, and lowered his voice: "Your Majesty, when the minister was taken away by those remnants of Nanshu that day, no one from the Pingnan Army saw it, and when he came back at night, Cheng Ping, the deputy general of the Pingnan Army, was still unconscious, but this Li Yan could clearly know that the minister went to see Li Xing, which means that the Pingnan Marquis Mansion buried people next to Li Xing. β
"At the same time, it also shows that these two families are guarding against each other, and they are not completely of the same mind."
"Besides, as far as the minister knows, when Li Zhijie, the Marquis of Pingnan, destroyed Nanshu, he killed the Nanshu royal family, which is an indelible hatred, and it is impossible to say that it can be revealed."
Chengde Tianzi frowned and thought for a moment, and finally showed a faint smile: "I have to say, this mouth of yours is very powerful, and I was persuaded by you again." β
"Get up and speak."
Li Xin stood up, bent over to the Son of Heaven in Chengde and said: "Your Majesty, if you want to separate these two families, the ministers need to have some capital in their hands, if the Li family of Nanshu is willing to surrender to the Great Jin, Your Majesty ...... What kind of benefits can be given? β
A smile appeared on the face of the Chengde Heavenly Son: "I can give the Nanshu Li family a hereditary repudiation." β
Zhuxia has only one good fine tradition, and that is to rise and fall.
In Li Xin's world, during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, there was no such thing as destroying the country, even if a country died, the victor would support a clan to inherit the country again, and even help him rebuild the country.
Although this fine tradition gradually disappeared in the future, it did not disappear completely, for example, for the monarch of the dead country, on the surface, he would still be awarded a title such as a prince, and he would try to give preferential treatment.
This tradition is the same in this world, but when Nanshu destroyed the country, the form of Nanjiang was more complicated, and the royal family of Nanshu was killed by Li Zhijie in one go, and only King Min and his family escaped and failed to get any preferential treatment here in Dajin.
Therefore, the duke given by the Son of Heaven in Chengde is not very unusual.
After His Majesty the Emperor finished saying this, he added lightly: "But I also have my conditions." β
When it comes to cooperation, both parties will benefit, which Chengde Tianzi still knows in his heart.
Li Xin bowed his head and said, "Your Majesty, please speak." β
His Majesty the Emperor squinted his eyes and smiled: "I don't need a sound Nanshu Li family, the Li family can come to the capital to be the prince, but the power in the hands of the Li family now must all be handed over to me." β
Li Xin took a deep breath and said with a wry smile: "Those Shu people are quite stubborn, and they only recognize the Southern Shu royal family, and they may not be able to serve my Great Jin." β
"Then let them die."
Chengde Tianzi's voice was grim: "If you don't die, this matter can't be discussed." β
Li Xin took a deep breath, bent over and said, "Minister-I know." β
With that, Li Xin was about to bend down and retire.
The Son of Heaven of Chengde looked at Li Xin for a long time, and said with a smile: "Putting aside the matter of southern Xinjiang for the time being, I heard that you took your two lieutenant battalions in the north and killed a lot of remnants of the Zhou Dynasty?" β
Ye Ming asked Yu Linwei for a letter of merit, and Li Xin arrived in the capital many times first, after all, the messenger was one person and one horse, and he didn't need to march, so he was naturally much faster.
For the Great Jin Dynasty, Nanshu can still be regarded as the Han court, as long as the royal family of Southern Shu is willing to kowtow and admit it, the Chengde Son of Heaven does not mind giving them wealth for one generation or two generations, but the Northern Zhou is different, the Northern Zhou Yuwen clan is not a Han Chinese, so the remnant Zhou can only be the mortal enemy of the Great Jin forever.
Li Xin sighed lightly, bent over and said, "It's all cultivated by His Majesty, and the minister is ashamed-"
The Emperor of Chengde said with a smile: "I cultivate, I also need you to be a manufacturable material, Ye Ming's letter of request for merit said, you killed three by yourself, yes or no?" β
"The subordinates are luckyβ"
The Son of Heaven Chengde stood up from the imperial table, walked in front of Li Xin, and said with a smile: "When you are in the battle formation for the first time, it is already great to have this level, you are a capable young man, you are born to do things in the imperial court, and your achievements in the future are limitless, at least you will not be worse than him Li Shen." β
Speaking of this, the emperor of the Ji family said indifferently: "What happened to you when you were a child, I also heard Lao Qi say, what that person did in this matter is really wrong, I have sent someone to Yongzhou to repair your mother's tomb, and then let the local government give her a good reputation, and she can't be wronged in the underground after her death." β
Li Xin knelt and kowtowed.
"Your Majesty's grace, the minister's sense of guilt!"
"On behalf of the mother, thank you, Your Majestyβ"
This statement is heartfelt.
Li Xin has been in this world for more than half a year, and after more than half a year of midnight dreams, Li Xin and the other Li Xin have long been indistinguishable from each other, and he also regards the poor woman in the countryside of Yongzhou as his mother.
It's pitiful, after my mother died of illness, there was only a thin coffin, or my uncle used half of his life savings to buy it, and after the burial, there was only a small mound in the mountain, not even a tombstone.
After Li Xin had "savings" in the capital, he once thought about going back to Yongzhou to repair his mother's grave, but until now, he still can't explain who his father is.
After all, the eyes are red and the heart is black.
This kind of thing, it is best to let the government and the court come forward in order to correct the poor woman's name.
Chengde Tianzi smiled and patted Li Xin's shoulder.
"If you work hard, you will have a good identity in the future, and you will return to your hometown, and you will be able to raise your eyebrows and spit out the hardships you suffered in the early years."
"Obey the Order......"
His Majesty the Emperor waved his hand.
"Alright, you go down."
"After I go back, let that Shu man come into the palace, and I want to ask him something."
Li Xin paused, and then spoke respectfully.
"Yes."
