In fact, Mu Qing sent her daughter to the capital, of course, not only because of trust and other reasons, after all, Mu Ying has already done a lot of official work in the capital, and the Mu family has not yet reached the point where it is enough to make Da Jin rebel.

What Mu Qing wants to do more is to tie the Mu family and Li Xin together.

In other words, he is very optimistic about this young Marquis of Jing'an, so he wants to send his daughter to Li Xin, so that no matter what the future of the Mu family is, Li Xin will become their guarantee in the future.

The reason why Li Xin refused was because of the Ninth Princess, and more importantly, if he wanted Taikang Tianzi to trust the Mu family, he couldn't get too close to the Mu family, if he really married Mu Ying's sister, even if the Nine Princesses were there, he and the Mu family would get the distrust of Taikang Tianzi.

So no matter how you think about it, Li Xin can't see the stupid girl of the Mu family for the time being.

Mu Ying looked at Li Xin's back in a hurry and sighed slowly.

"Daddy, my son has done his best."

…………

In the blink of an eye, the time came to August 20 of the first year of Taikang.

It's the day of the Great Pilgrimage again.

Li Xin still stood in the first row of military attachés on the right, but among the five people in the first row, there was one missing the right governor of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, Ji Mingfang, the Duke of Lu.

Soon, the pilgrimage meeting began.

After the routine scene, Taikang Tianzi's face was sad, and he said, "Zhuqing must have heard about Lu Guogong. ”

He let out a long sigh.

"My family is unfortunate."

The civil and military officials hurriedly bowed their heads and did not dare to speak.

The Son of Heaven stood up from the dragon chair and said with a wry smile: "According to the investigation of the Yamen, the Lu State Mansion has embezzled more than 2,000 mu of land in the suburbs of Beijing in the past two years, most of which are forcibly bought and sold, so that hundreds of families have lost their land and have no land to cultivate, and many of them have made trouble to the point of breaking their families. ”

"They even sued me, and they were shocked by the crimes."

As soon as these words came out, the civil and military officials were dumbfounded.

What they were thinking in their hearts was.

Only more than 2,000 acres?

The clan of the Ji family, compared with the previous dynasties, is very restrained, the vassal king of the Li family is also descended, and basically after a few generations, he will become a commoner, but even so, these Ji family clans who stay in the capital are also all fat flowing oil, as long as the surname Ji is in Yongle Fang, which family's land is not calculated by the hectare, just 2,000 acres of land, it is really ...... Nothing.

But just because of this mere 2,000 acres of land, the new emperor actually made such a big fire, and the meaning is obvious.

It's not right for people.

Everyone was secretly thinking in their hearts, and some people looked at the position where Ji Mingfang was originally standing, which was already empty, and they vaguely understood a little in their hearts.

This new emperor, want to take the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion?

Taikang Tianzi was silent for a while, and then said.

"After inquiry, although these things were not done by Lu Guogong himself, but by Lu Guogong's family, but in any case, Lu Guogong has the sin of conniving at his family, I discussed with Zhang Xiang and the Governor of Dadu yesterday and decided to ......"

"Remove Lu Guogong from the position of the right governor of the Metropolitan Mansion."

This sentence caused an uproar.

The punishment is too severe.

Generally speaking, a tone like the Son of Heaven just now who raised high and gently put it down was at most a fine, and at most ordered to return the land, but I didn't expect that the Son of Heaven directly dismissed this military boss.

And it has also been approved by Zhang Xiang and Dadu Governor Ji Ping?

This time, it caused an uproar in the court.

Some veteran officials have clearly seen that the big waves of the new dynasty have begun to shoot over.

The Son of Heaven's face was calm, and he continued: "The responsibility of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion is very heavy, and the Metropolitan Governor Ji Ping is very old, so he must find someone to help. Pei Jin, the general of the forbidden army, has been in charge of the forbidden army for more than ten years, and there are no mistakes or omissions, and he knows all the armies of the Great Jin Dynasty well. ”

After the Son of Heaven said this, as long as the people in the Weiyang Palace basically understood it.

The Son of Heaven is not going to take the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, but to take the forbidden army!

After saying this, the Son of Heaven turned his head to look at the eunuch Xiao Zheng.

"Recite the Divine Decree."

Xiao Zheng respectfully unfolded the holy decree and sang: "Pei Jin, the general of the forbidden army, accept the decree." ”

Pei Jin was also standing in the first row of military generals, after the words of the Son of Heaven just now, others were a little stupid, after hearing Xiao Zheng's words, this Pei Saburo stepped forward in a little stunned and knelt down on his knees.

"Minister Pei Jin, take the holy decree."

Xiao Zheng held the holy decree in his hand and began to read it with joy.

The content of the holy decree, in fact, Taikang Tianzi had already said it just now, and now it is just repeated in a gorgeous prose, Pei Jin lowered his head, not knowing what he was thinking.

Li Xin, the Marquis of Jing'an, who was standing not far from him, clearly saw the general of the forbidden army, and he was frowning.

Xiao Zheng quickly finished reading the holy decree, but he only read the holy decree of promoting Pei Jin, but did not say who should replace this vacant general of the forbidden army.

Pei Jin held the holy decree in both hands, and then kowtowed to the Taikang Son of Heaven to thank him, then got up and bowed his head and said, "Your Majesty, the minister...... How can he de, can enter the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion as the right governor, the minister was originally a military family, the status is shallow, fortunately thanks to the first emperor promotion, the minister can be lucky for the Son of Heaven to run the forbidden army, the first emperor also told the minister back then, the minister to achieve the position of this general, it is already to the top. ”

Pei Jin took a deep breath, bowed his head and said: "The Dadu Governor's Mansion has always been in the hands of nobles, and the ministers dare not enter the Dadu Governor's Mansion, please take back your ...... order."

The Son of Heaven was not unhappy, but just smiled: "General Pei's words are not right, Ye Guogong was not also from a military household at the beginning, his old man was the right governor of the Dadu Governor's Mansion more than ten years ago, and now General Pei, you have achieved this position, what's wrong?" ”

The Son of Heaven glanced at Pei Jin lightly.

"Could it be that General Pei thinks that this official is too small, and he can't directly become the governor of the capital?"

"Minister...... Can't. ”

Pei Jin lowered his head and clenched his fists, then gritted his teeth and said: "The minister dares to ask Your Majesty, who is Your Majesty going to send to take charge of the forbidden army when the minister leaves the forbidden army?" ”

The Son of Heaven said indifferently: "Loyal and brave Marquis Hou Jingde, meritorious and meritorious, I am ready to worship him as the general of the forbidden army and take charge of the forbidden army for me." ”

Until now, the Son of Heaven has not said Li Xin's name.

Because Li Xin is too young.

He was making trouble in the military department, and others could pretend not to see it, but if Taikang Tianzi wanted to put the national capital of the Great Jin into the hands of an eighteen-year-old young man, these civil and military officials in the Weiyang Palace would definitely not be willing.

Therefore, the appointment of Li Xin must be secret.

Pei Jin took a few deep breaths and hissed: "Your Majesty, Hou Jingde has been following behind the minister for the past few months, he has the foundation to lead the troops, but his prestige in the forbidden army is insufficient, please think twice." ”

"I've thought twice."

Taikang Tianzi was a little displeased.

"Why, I promoted the general, but the general didn't want to?"

Pei Jin hurriedly shook his head.

"The minister didn't dare to ......"

"Since you don't dare, this matter is decided."

Taikang Tianzi stood up directly from the chair, waved his hand, and said: "During this time, you first go to the Dadu Governor's Mansion to learn from the Dadu Governor, if the forbidden army really has anything, I will still use you." ”

"Alright."

The Son of Heaven yawned.

"If it's okay, just retreat."
