Yuan Zhao Tianzi ascended the throne at the age of fourteen or fifteen, almost twenty years old this year, although he gave birth to a princess, but there is no prince yet, that is to say, the sixth prince who fled to the southwest in embarrassment, can be said to be the first heir to the throne of the Great Jin Dynasty.

Of course, this is the treatment he will only have if he stays in Sanyin honestly, at this time he escaped from Shanyin, Yuanzhao Tianzi must be very angry, if the Tianzi suddenly dies, most of them will not appoint this brother as the heir.

But this does not hinder the status of the sixth prince.

This is an era of stressing the rule of law and rules, and if Li Xin rebelled, he would face great resistance, because although there are many problems hidden under the prosperity of this society at present, most of these problems are not on the verge of breaking out.

If Li Xin rebels now, there may be rebels everywhere who will rise up to help the imperial court fight against the southwest, even if there is no rebel army, it will be somewhat unpopular, so he must need an upright signboard.

The words of the sage are very clear, if the name is not right, the word will not be good, and if the word is not good, the thing will not be accomplished.

In another world, Emperor Gaozu rebelled, using the name of Chu State, even Li Yuan rebelled, but also first welcomed a prince of the Yang family as the emperor, Zhu Taizu started as a cult, and he was a high-end one, using the name of God and Buddha, Zhu Laosi relied on the thick "Emperor Ming Zu Xun", and various anti-Qing forces in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties also respected an emperor of the Zhu family.

Therefore, Li Xin must also have a reasonable name.

At the beginning, Li Shen, the Marquis of Pingnan, rebelled, and also used the name of the great prince Ji Yu, in fact, purely in terms of signboards, the signboard Ji Yu used by Li Shen is much better than the current six princes, after all, Ji Yu has been the crown prince, and the emperor of Taikang Tianzi is not clear, so at that time, many people were optimistic about the southwest side, and even some officials of the imperial court secretly wrote letters to the southwest.

What Li Xin wants to do at this time is not much different from Li Shen back then, if there is any difference, that is, the current Southwest Army is much stronger than the Pingnan Army 20 years ago.

The simple comparison of troops is about the same, but the Pingnan Army at that time did not have a thunderbolt, nor did it have many new weapons in the southwest, and there was no relatively erosive northern Xinjiang.

The enemies to be faced on both sides are also very different.

At that time, the Pingnan Army had to face the Taikang Tianzi, who was a little cautious but generally wise, and a young and vigorous Jing'an Marquis, and now the Southwest Army is facing a young, ambitious and talented Yuan Zhao Tianzi.

More importantly, there are not many generals left in the imperial court.

At the beginning, the dazzling generals of the Great Jin Dynasty had a kind, the Ye family, and a new Jing'an Hou Mansion, but now, most of the seed families are unable to get out of the northern Xinjiang, and the Ye family is basically unlikely to contribute to the imperial court.

Yuan Zhao Tianzi can use, that is, the general Pei Jin, who is already over the age of six, as well as his maternal Xie family, as well as those inconspicuous generals in the capital.

Nowadays, the gap between the Southwest Army and the imperial court is not as big as people imagined.

After the six princes arrived in Jincheng, Li Xin and Zhao Jia sent him to the nine princesses together, and let the nine princesses take care of him, the nine princesses left the capital with Li Xin in the eighth year of Taikang, and have not seen their families for more than seven years now.

The ninth princess is good at food, she has been married to Li Xin for so many years, and she has learned the food that Li Xin knows, and when she is okay on weekdays, she makes some delicious food at home with her eldest daughter and Zhong Xiaoxiao.

Seeing the two aunts and nephews gradually walking away, Zhao Jia, who was standing behind Li Xin, bowed his head slightly and said, "When the sixth prince arrives in Jincheng, everything is ready, when is the general going to do it?" ”

Li Xin looked up at the sky, and a cool breeze of late autumn was blowing in his face.

At this time, it was October of the fifth year of Yuan Zhao, and the weather slowly cooled down.

The Southwest General lowered his head and groaned, and said, "It depends on the progress of Brother Mu and Li Shuo, they are ready, we are ready to do it at any time." ”

As he spoke, Li Xin glanced back at Zhao Jia. 3800

"Brother You'an, once the Southwest Army leaves Shu, the amount of grain and grass consumed is astronomical, I don't know if there is enough grain and grass on Brother You'an's side?"

"Don't worry, General."

Zhao Jia smiled: "Since the general let me govern the southwest, every year even if it is difficult, I will save some food, and now after so many years, Jinglue Mansion has stored a lot of food, enough for 150,000 southwest troops to fight for more than a year." ”

Li Xin nodded slightly.

To be honest, he is not a genius, if all the things in the southwest are piled up on him, Li Xin may not be able to do anything all these years, and it is not enough to devote himself to political affairs.

In the process of growing in the southwest, Zhao Jia helped him a lot, if there was no Zhao Jia, Li Xin would not be able to go today even if he had the heart.

After a pause, he spoke: "The six princes have arrived in Jincheng, and we will find the reason for our exit from Shu, and ask Brother You'an to help write and draft a crusade against the Son of Heaven, and we will be able to use it after a while." ”

Zhao Jiagong bowed his head: "Dare not obey your fate." ”

"When I go home tonight, my subordinates will start drafting the document and send it to the general within three days."

"I won't be able to stay in Jincheng for a few days."

Li Xin said with a negative hand: "There are still many things to follow up in Hanzhong, I will live in Jincheng for two or three days, and I will go back to Hanzhong. ”

Speaking of this, Li Xin paused and continued: "From today onwards, the southwest is ready to raise troops at any time, and Brother You'an, your Jingluo Mansion also has a lot of work to do. ”

Zhao Jia immediately bowed his head: "The general ordered." ”

Li Xin slowly exhaled a breath and said: "A few days ago, I was in the southwest to review the Southwest Army, and found that at least more than 10% of the generals of the Southwest Army had an affair with the imperial court. ”

"At this critical time, it is not suitable to review the officials in an earth-shaking manner, otherwise it will make people panic, but if you want to raise troops, you can't completely ignore them, the key functions of the Southwest Economic Strategy Mansion, as well as the yamen of the state capitals, such as responsible for grain and grass, horses, military resources, and all key errands, Brother You'an must review it in detail, and the imperial court must not be allowed to install people in this position."

When Zhao Jia heard this, his face was full of solemnity.

"Don't worry, the general, his subordinates will definitely handle this matter well."

Li Xin stretched out his hand and patted Zhao Jia's shoulder, and smiled: "Okay, after the business is over, let's talk about private matters." ”

Zhao Jia was stunned, and then said, "Master Hou, please speak." ”

"Shen Gang... I'm afraid I won't be able to do anything in the future. ”

Li Xin sighed slowly and said, "There are more than 3,000 people in the dark department under me, I mean, let Zhao Yi slowly take over this errand." ”

Zhao Jia frowned deeply and bowed his head.

"Master Hou, I am already in charge of the southwest, and he is only fifteen or sixteen years old...... I'm afraid it's a little inappropriate, right? ”
