Chapter Ninety-Three: Diverting the Tiger from the Mountain to Steal Home

No one will be stupid.

Five years ago, Li Xin returned to Beijing to tell those lies, except for Chunyang Zhenren, who could not be verified because he died without evidence, most of the rest of the things were fully investigated by the Son of Heaven.

What made the Son of Heaven jealous the most was the 50,000 people in the Hanzhou Mansion who didn't know where they came from, and the Pingnan Army who ran out of Jincheng and didn't know where to go.

The Pingnan army still has no way to take care of it, after all, they are either scattered in the mountains, or they followed Li Shuo to the western border, but Hanzhou Mansion is in the Ming place, and the Son of Heaven has regarded the 50,000 people in Hanzhou Mansion as a thorn in his eye in the past few years.

His relationship with Li Xin has not yet reached the point of turning his face, and he did not want to attack Li Xin when he attacked the Hanzhou Mansion, on the contrary, he wanted to pull out all of Li Xin's minions, and then let his own prince be too secure.

Of course, when the court wants to use him, it will also equip him with some court minions.

The Son of Heaven has been planning this for a long time.

At the beginning, he didn't want to use such drastic means to deal with the Hanzhou army, so he invited Li Xing, the great highness of the remnants of Nanshu, into the capital, trying to erase the threat of the Hanzhou army through Li Xing.

But it's a pity that not long after Li Xing entered Beijing, he was killed by the Marquis of Jing'an himself, so that the Son of Heaven had no other way but to use this relatively drastic method.

This matter had been thought of since he began to plot the north.

The Son of Heaven knew in his heart that if Li Xin was in the capital, no matter what kind of action he wanted to make to the southwest, he would get Li Xin's opposition, and even if the opposition was invalid, Li Xin would quickly respond, and even if Li Xin was in the capital to control the situation in the southwest, the Son of Heaven's wish might not be able to be achieved.

Therefore, he must get Li Xin out of the capital.

Now, it is the late autumn of the eighth year of Taikang, and more than three months have passed since Li Xin left Beijing, and the Son of Heaven has also prepared for this for more than three months.

For the past three months, he has been asking the household department to mobilize grain and grass in Hanzhong, the southwest gateway.

By now, everything was almost ready, and he summoned Pei Jin into the palace and told Pei Jin to set off and make a move to the southwest.

Pei Jin went out of Beijing alone, it would not cause too much turmoil, and when others went to the southwest to make a move, even if Li Xin wanted to make a move, it would be too late.

After all, one south and one north are separated by thousands of miles, even if the Zhenbei Army is willing to rush to the southwest with Li Xin, it will take four or five months to go along the way, and it will be too late.

Besides, it is impossible for the Pingnan Army to do such a thing.

As for Li Xin's madness, it is unlikely that he will give up the defense of northern Xinjiang or join the enemy, even if Li Xin himself is willing to do this kind of thing, it is impossible for the Zhenbei Army or the Ye family to do this kind of thing.

After all, the most serious consequence of the Son of Heaven doing this is nothing more than Li Xin's deliberate defeat to the Yuwen tribes in the north in order to vent his anger, and this consequence is completely acceptable to the Son of Heaven.

After all, it is the Ye family's Zhenbei Army, and no matter how many people die, he will not feel distressed.

And with his understanding of Li Xin, Li Xin can't do this kind of thing.

No matter how you look at it, there is nothing wrong with this plan.

As for why he was in such a hurry to knock out the Hanzhou Mansion......

Of course, it is not because the people of Hanzhou Mansion are the remnants of Nanshu, it has been more than 40 years since the fall of Nanshu, and the real people of Nanshu have long been gone, and the Son of Heaven hates Hanzhou Mansion so much, not because they are Nanshu people, but because ......

They will be used by Li Xin!

He must pull out all Li Xin's minions, and let his Jing'an Marquis be an honest minister for a lifetime.

Li Shen's matter must not be allowed to recur!

The Son of Heaven sat on the dragon chair expressionlessly, quietly looking at the north.

Xiao Zheng stood in front of the Son of Heaven with his hands down, and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, it's time to eat." ”

The Son of Heaven came back from his contemplation, turned his head to look at the eunuch who had been by his side for many years, and slowly spoke: "Xiao Zheng." ”

Eunuch Xiao immediately bowed his head: "The slave is here." ”

"Do you know Li Xin?"

Xiao Zheng, who was dressed in a big red robe, hesitated for a moment, and said in a low voice: "The slave maid has a lot of contact with Li Houye, and I don't dare to say that I understand, but I know a little bit." ”

The Son of Heaven nodded and asked slowly.

"Then you say...... Is he someone who will bow his head and throw in the towel? ”

Eunuch Xiao was silent for a while and bowed his head slightly.

"The slave doesn't know, but in the eyes of the slave and the maid, Li Houye looks sleek on the surface, but he is an angular person in his bones."

The Son of Heaven squinted his eyes and didn't say anything more, just stood up from his position and said, "Let's go, let's eat." ”

He walked alone in front of Xiao Zheng, his hands behind his back, and muttered in a voice that he could only hear.

"I'm doing this for your own good, whether you understand it or not."

"You don't understand, I'm ...... I'm not afraid of you. ”

………………

No matter how many people Li Xin buried in the capital, he couldn't hear the things in the palace compound, and besides, the capital and Jimen Pass were thousands of miles apart, even if he heard it, it wouldn't be able to reach Jizhou City for a while.

Just when General Pei Jin left the capital at night with the secret decree and the military documents, the Marquis of Jing'an in Jimen Pass had already interrogated the assassins in Jizhou City.

Of course, the interrogation process will not be too friendly, and under the hands of Wang Tao's gang of rough embryos, these Xianbei people have suffered a little.

Exactly...... It's a lot of suffering.

Li Xin sat on the main seat, listened to the confessions of these Xianbei people, and then squinted his eyes.

"Meaning, the Futu Department closest to us wants to kill me."

"And that so-called Heavenly King Yu Wenzhao wants to see me."

Wang Tao bowed and said, "That's probably what it means." ”

"Most of these people are ordinary clansmen in the Yuwen tribes, they have not received the kind of training of dead soldiers, they don't seem to be lying, and even if they lie, this kind of lie is meaningless."

Li Xin lowered his head slightly, closed his eyes and pondered for a moment, then slowly opened his eyes.

"In the Yuwen Division, there is a Zhuzi, there is a hole to drill, and it can be used for long-distance and close attacks."

"You send someone to send a letter to their Heavenly King Yuwen Zhao, saying that I want to meet with him."

Wang Tao nodded, and said yes.

"Master Hou, where can we meet?"

According to the rules, the hostile two sides agreed to meet, and if one party proposed to meet, the other party had to set the time and place.

Li Xin smiled and said: "It's in this Jizhou City, as for the time, tell him that I will live in this city for a month, and it will be up to him if he dares to come." ”

Wang Tao nodded and bent down.

And Ye Mao, who was following Li Xin, opened his mouth and asked, "Uncle Shi, this person from the Futu Department wants to harm you, so you spare them like this?" ”

Marquis Jing'an squinted his eyes and smiled.

"The actions of the four Yuwen departments are different, there are big flaws, if that Yuwen Zhao dares to enter Jizhou City to see me, it means that he is a person with great ambitions, and at that time, the Yuwen Futu Department will be destroyed soon."

The cause and effect of this sentence was a little incomprehensible, and the little grandfather was confused when he heard it, he scratched his head, a little embarrassed.

"Uncle Shi, I didn't understand ......"

Li Xin stood up from his chair and smiled at him.

"You don't have to understand, now just go back to the camp of the North Army and lead the troops well."
