Chapter 176: A Good Beginning and a Good End
With Zhao Jia presiding over Shangshutai, Li Xin didn't have to spend too much time on national affairs, and those subtleties, such as the rewards of the officers and soldiers of the Southwest Army, as well as their official arrangements, and how to deal with the officials in Beijing, could be handed over to Zhao Jia to deal with.
After Li Xin entered Beijing, in order to temporarily stabilize the imperial court, the original officials in Beijing basically did not move, but in fact it was very wrong to do so, since the southwest army entered the capital, then what should be done must be done, for example, for the original officials in the imperial court, it is naturally impossible to overturn them with a rod, but they cannot not move one by one, they must win over a group and then suppress a group and then promote a group, and then place the people in the southwest into various key positions, these things must be done little by little.
Li Xin is not very good at this, and it happens that he can hand it over to the delicate Zhao Jia.
Zhao Jia is the most innocent person in the entire southwest group, capable but not powerful, the best thing is that he has been in the southwest for more than ten years, and he has not even mobilized a single soldier, and he has not been contaminated with martial arts at all, so no matter what he does, Li Xin can rest assured.
It's amazing, but it's just the second Zhang Qu Zhang Hao.
With Zhao Jia to take care of the government, Li Xin began to sort out military affairs, in the past half a month, the Southwest Army controlled the capital, and the two battalions of the forbidden army were confiscated weapons and armor, placed in the camp outside the city, in addition to the major yamen in the capital, including the City Gate Soldiers and Horses Division, the Imperial City Soldiers and Horses Division and the Inspection Division, the candidates for the three forbidden guards, all had to be rearranged by Li Xin.
Of course, except for the forbidden army, the other yamen are all trivial and do not need to spend too much energy.
After returning from Cui Jiuniang, Li Xin began to think about how to reorganize the forbidden army.
In addition, it is worth mentioning that a few days ago, Li Xin went to Qinhuaifang to visit Cui Jiuniang, originally wanted to take this old man back to Jing'an Houfu to live, or simply find another house for her in Yongle Fang, or build another nunnery for her to practice, but these were rejected by Cui Jiuniang, she spent most of her life in Qinhuaifang, and now she is forty years old, she can no longer leave that place, in desperation, Li Xin can only let people buy a big house in Qinhuaifang, and find a few maids to take care of her daily life, For the time being, let her live in Qinhuaifang, and when Zhong Xiaoxiao and the others return to the capital, let Zhong Xiaoxiao persuade her.
Li Xin pondered in the Jing'an Hou Mansion for two whole days, and on the third day, the sky was full of dark clouds, and the cold winter rain fell, and the raindrops were even mixed with some salt-like Xiaoice hail, and the weather in the capital became colder and colder.
Li Xin, who was already afraid of the cold, had already put on his coat and wrapped himself tightly.
He put on his clothes and walked to a small courtyard in his backyard, before he got close to this courtyard, he could smell a strong and important smell, Li Xin rubbed his nose, and after he walked in, immediately a subordinate from the Hou Mansion bowed his head to him and saluted: "Master Hou." ”
Li Xin nodded silently: "General Li's body, is it better?" ”
During the siege of the city, Li Shuo took the lead and led the Ningzhou army to rush into the capital, but later because of the love battle, he could not retreat, and was shot with two arrows in the back, and the injury was not too serious, but it was definitely not a minor injury.
It is precisely for this reason that in the half a month after entering the capital, Li Shuo has been staying in the Jing'an Hou Mansion to recuperate from his injuries, and has not come forward much.
In the past half a month, not only did Li Shuo himself miss a lot of opportunities, but even the reward he received with the Ningzhou Army as a whole was slightly inferior to that of the Hanzhou Army.
"Back to Master Hou, General Li is already slowly recovering, and I think I will be able to go to the ground in a few days."
Li Xin nodded silently, squatted down next to the medicine jar in the courtyard, and then asked softly, "Is this medicine ready?" ”
"Back to Master Hou, it's already fried, and I'm about to send it to General Li."
Li Xin nodded silently, poured the black Chinese medicine in the medicine jar into the medicine bowl, and then personally picked up the medicine bowl and walked into the room.
At this time, Li Shuo couldn't get off the ground, he could only lie on the hospital bed, and when he heard movement outside, he couldn't get up to look, and when he saw Li Xin personally walking in with medicine, he suddenly felt panicked, and struggled to sit up.
Li Xin shook his head at him slightly: "There is no need to be so polite, we can be regarded as a family." ”
Putting aside the true blood relationship between the two brothers, Li Shuo has been a brother and a brother for more than ten years, Li Xin is even a stone man, and he should be a little warmer in more than ten years, and his indifference to Li Shuo in the early years because of Li Shen has slowly disappeared.

Moreover, Li Shuo and his Ningzhou army have made great contributions to helping Li Xin balance the southwest forces over the years, and Li Shuo's Ningzhou army will also become one of the military foundations of the "Li family" in the future.
Therefore, Li Xin still attaches great importance to this cheap brother.
Li Shuo coughed a few times, reluctantly sat up from the bed, looked up at Li Xin, and said with a wry smile: "It was the younger brother who was reckless and injured, and Brother Lao bothered." ”
Li Xin shook his head slightly, stretched out his hand to hand over the medicine bowl, and asked, "Is it better?" ”
Li Shuo took the medicine bowl with both hands, drank the bowl of extremely bitter decoction very happily, and then forcibly endured the extremely bitter taste in his mouth, and reluctantly squeezed out a smile at Li Xin.
"The wound has scabbed, and in a few days, it will be healed."
Li Xin smiled at him: "The people in your family followed my wife and children into Beijing together, and in more than a month, they should go to the capital, and when they arrive in the capital, your injuries should be healed." ”
Several cores of the Southwest Group have their own tacit understanding, and when everyone is in the southwest, they naturally occupy a place in the southwest, but once the Southwest Army conquers the capital and everyone successfully occupies the imperial court, the place in the southwest will be withdrawn and left to the Mu family's Shu Palace, which is not surnamed Mu, to take care of.
Of course, this kind of management does not mean that the Mu family should become a country of its own in the southwest, the imperial court should still send officials to go, and the taxes that should be paid in the southwest will still be paid, but as long as there is no trouble between the two sides, the Mu family is the most influential family in the southwest.
So in this case, whether it is Li Xin or Zhao Jia, or Li Shuo, who was originally stationed in Ningzhou, will leave the southwest and come to the capital to "develop".
Li Shuo nodded slightly, and his voice was a little hoarse: "Thanks to my brother's trouble, otherwise I would be sick in bed these days and wouldn't be able to do anything." ”
Li Xin stretched out his hand and patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "If the family doesn't talk about the two families, your family will stay in the capital in the future, and I won't say this kind of about the princess Wandai, but one thing can still be guaranteed, you and I brothers, share weal and woe." ”
Li Shuo's face was serious.
"The younger brother is all at the mercy of the elder brother."
Li Xin smiled: "Okay, when you get better, you will go to lead a battalion of forbidden troops, so that I, as a brother, can sleep more peacefully, how about it?" ”
Li Shuo frowned slightly: "Brother, I have been recuperating here these days, and I have thought about a lot of things, in my opinion, whether it is me or General Mu, it is not suitable to lead troops in the capital, and my brother can arrange an idle position in Beijing for me, and I will be very grateful." ”
He said in a low voice: "The major affairs of the country of soldiers, the Southwest Army can certainly work together to this day, but the capital has been broken, and then everyone will have their own thoughts, and the younger brother's idea is that it is best that we, the generals of the Southwest Army, will not be in charge of the troops in the future." ”
"It's better than being suspicious of each other in the future."
He looked at Li Xin and said softly.
"I want to finish well with my brother."
"It's only been a few days since you entered Beijing, and you regard me as the emperor of the Ji family?"
Li Xin smiled: "The Southwest Army is now a little out of place, I need to integrate the Southwest Army that is willing to stay in the capital with the forbidden army as soon as possible, and reorganize the forbidden army, among which the firearms battalion is a key point, we must consider it carefully." ”
"There are many places where you and Mu Ying still need to help, and you can't pick on it at this time?"
