The official does Li Xin's part, and to be honest, the grade is no longer important to him.

On official character, he is already a good product of the dynasty, and then promoted to be nothing more than a better teacher, on the official position, his previous actual position was the military department of Shangshu, and later resigned from the military department, and the position on his body is only a general of the right battalion of the forbidden army, and there are only two ways to go up.

The first is to be the general of the forbidden army, just like Pei Jin back then, who is in charge of the two battalions on the left and right, and oversees the Gyeonggi Forbidden Army, becoming the real sword of the Son of Heaven.

Otherwise, the military attache of Zhengyipin will only be the right governor of the Governor's Mansion.

There are two governors on the left and right of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, and the actual head of the Left Governor's Mansion is called the Great Sima, this position has been monopolized by the Ji family, and outsiders have not done it once.

And the right governor has done it with many foreign surnames, such as Ye Sheng, who returned to Beijing from the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and Pei Jin in the early years of Taikang.

These two people were placed in this position in order to empty the power in their hands, and the position of the right governor can be understood as an honorary title.

Li Xin just helped Yuan Zhao Tianzi solve a big problem, it is naturally impossible for the Son of Heaven to cross the river and tear down the bridge now, and throw him to the Dadu Governor's Mansion for retirement, as for the general of the forbidden army, it is even more impossible.

This position, only a person who has the trust of the Son of Heaven can do it, Hou Jingde has been deeply involved in the forbidden army for more than ten years, and he still stops at the general of the left battalion of the forbidden army, and he must not go further, Li Xin, a person who has a discord with the Ji family, is even more unlikely to be placed in that position.

After thinking about it, the Son of Heaven wants to promote Li Xin, which is nothing more than turning him, the Taifu, into a Taishi.

He was silent for a while, and then said with a smile: "Your Majesty, the minister entered the court as an official by the grace of the first emperor, and he has been a very popular minister for more than ten years, and he has no extravagant expectations for official positions and official qualities. ”

Yuan Zhao Tianzi winked at Li Xin.

"What do I mean, do you want to give the teacher a title and make a prince?"

Since the founding of the country, the Great Jin Dynasty has been very stingy with the title, because once this thing is given, it will have to be given money and land, if it is the kind of hereditary title, it is not given to one generation, but to one generation.

After arriving at Emperor Wu, the Great Jin Dynasty was unified, and the reward for the title was more rigorous, from the beginning of Emperor Wu to the present, there was only one Guogong with a different surname in the entire Great Jin Dynasty, and there was no second one!

Hou Jingde's father, General Hou, was Ye Sheng's pioneer in his early years, and during the Northern Expedition, he charged into battle dozens of times, and there was almost no good meat on his body, even so, after he returned to Beijing, he was only a lifelong "loyal and brave marquis", which could not be hereditary.

The Hou family's loyal and brave marquis title was only hereditary after Hou Jingde became a dragon.

It can be seen from this that the Ji family is so stingy with the title, and now Yuan Zhao Tianzi can take the initiative to say this sentence to promote Li Xinjin to the prince of the country, which is already a big abnormality.

Li Xin was silent for a while, and then smiled: "Your Majesty, the minister did not make any great contributions, but just arrested some people and killed some people. ”

Yuan Zhao Tianzi's face stiffened, and then he said slowly: "Don't get in the way, the teacher has done something, and he must have something in return." ”

He looked at Li Xin and said: "The teacher said, if you are a clan, you should be given a title at this time, but unfortunately Emperor Taizu's ancestral training that he cannot be crowned a king with a different surname is still there, otherwise the teacher can be much brighter than now." ”

The Son of Heaven rolled his eyes, and then said: "My aunt is a clan, it's better to be like this, the teacher asked my cousin to change his surname, so that the people of the sect can't say anything, and I will make him a county king." ”

Li Xin smiled.

"Your Majesty, the name of the dog has been decided, and besides, the minister was married to a princess, not a princess, so the child naturally follows his father's surname."

In later generations, children can have the surname of their parents, and Li Xin's concept does not say that children have to have their own surname, but this era is different, if his son's surname is Ji, he will inevitably be made fun of.

However, hearing Yuan Zhaotianzi's suggestion, Li Xin's heart moved slightly.

Seeing Li Xin's refusal, the Son of Heaven was also relieved.

Even if Li Xin's son Li Ping changes his surname to Ji Ping, the pressure on him to be the king of the county is also very great, after all, this is a patrilineal society, and the clan of the Ji family will not think that the surname Ji is the Ji family, and those clan elders will definitely strongly oppose it.

The Son of Heaven is also sure that his teacher is unwilling to accept this, so he will dare to write this blank check.

After chatting with Li Xin for a few words, he chatted with Li Xin about Shen Kuan's family and how Wu Xing Shen's family should deal with it.

Shen Kuan's family was all over the house. Wuxing Shen family has officials in the court, Zhulian dismissed the official and exiled, as for the Shen family's property in Wuxing, it must be confiscated and confiscated, and the children of the Wuxing Shen family will eventually become a great Jin dynasty, and they will not be allowed to enter the officialdom for half a step.

After roughly discussing the results, the Son of Heaven rolled his eyes and pretended to be careless and said: "Teacher, I received a message from the southwest today, which says that the garrison of Hanzhong and the army of the Shu Wangfu in the southwest have fought, and there are casualties on both sides. ”

He glanced at Li Xin with his spare eyes, and then continued: "I wonder if the teacher has heard about this? ”

The Marquis of Jing'an's reaction was very fast, his face immediately showed anger, and he said angrily: "The Southwest Shu Wangfu is so presumptuous, it was the ministers who said it back then, and the first emperor was willing to give them the remnants of the old Nanshu a way to live, but I didn't expect that in just a few years, these people would ignore the kindness of the first emperor back then, and dare to do something to the imperial court soldiers!" ”

Marquis Li was indignant.

"In the past, the minister led the troops to the west, and the eight hundred miles of Shuchuan were led by the minister to break through the Wang Division, and the minister asked to lead the right camp of the forbidden army to the west, so that these remnants of Nanshu know what is the power of heaven!"

Yuan Zhao Tianzi glanced at his teacher a little helplessly, and sighed slightly: "Teacher, the southwest is the southwest of the Shu people, the first emperor rose and fell, and helped them rebuild the temple, this is a good thing, and this dynasty can't start a war with the southwest because of a little thing, which will ruin the good intentions of the first emperor." ”

Li Xin nodded a little unwillingly.

"Your Majesty is benevolent, but these old people in Nanshu are too ignorant, this is the minister is the middleman, after the minister returns home, he immediately writes a letter to reprimand the king of Shu, and asks them to ask the court for a letter of guilt!"

“……。”

Yuan Zhao Tianzi sighed, looked at Li Xin, and said: "Teacher, according to the military report sent back by Xie Jing, the deputy general of the Hanzhong Army, the soldiers of the Southwest Army seem to have a sharp weapon called Tianlei in their hands, which is very powerful, has the ability to open mountains and crack stones, and throws them into the pile, the heavy armor is a little unbearable, and ordinary people are even more directly blurred. ”

"I have always wondered, what is this thing, the teacher has been in the southwest, and he has also led people to the southwest, I wonder if the teacher knows what this thing is?"

"The minister knows."

Li Xin replied very simply.

"In the eighth year of Taikang, the minister went to the southwest to mediate the conflict between the imperial court and the southwest, and at that time, the Mu family in the southwest sent the minister a few gadgets, saying that they could be exploded."

"Two or three of those things were left by the minister, and now they are still at home, Your Majesty wants to see them?"
