Chapter 174: The Great Jin Xiangguo
In the next few days, there was not much movement in the capital, at least there was not much movement on the surface, after all, there was no big movement in and out of the city, even if someone wanted to do something, they had to weigh their necks, whether they could carry the sharp blade in the hands of General Li.
After the Southwest Army occupied the imperial court for ten days, everything seemed to be back on track, and there didn't seem much difference from the previous Yuan Zhao Dynasty, and most of the officials in the capital did not move, what was the original position, and what is still the position now.
The only difference is that there are many more officials in the southwest in the court and the military, such as Mu Ying, the former general of the Hanzhou Army, who was ordered by the imperial court to be named the Duke of Qianguo and the general.
Li Shuo, the general of the Ningzhou Army, was inferior, and he did not get the duke, but only got the position of a first-class military marquis, and the title was Peng Yuanhou.
In addition to these two people, the soldiers of the Southwest Army also have their own rewards, but because the work of these rewards is too complicated, Li Xin has only set the rewards of the main generals for the time being, and the rest needs to be determined little by little in the future.
Of course, whether it is the Duke of Qianguo or the Marquis of Peng Yuan, it is a temporary reward, Mu Ying and Li Shuo did not take it to heart, after all, in their eyes, the current situation is just a transitional period, and in a few years, the court will surrender to the "Southwest Group", and it is inevitable that the world will change its surname.
Even if Li Xin is unwilling to be the emperor, these people will force him to be the emperor, the reason is very simple, as long as Li Xin is not the emperor for a day, they in the Southwest Army, no matter how glamorous they are on the surface, they are actually still a group of thieves.
Only when the Li family really sits in that position can they truly get rid of the identity of anti-thieves and become the "founding heroes" who will shine in future generations!
On this day, Li Xin, who slept in the Jing'an Hou Mansion, got up early in the morning as always, and after he cleaned up briefly, before he could go out, he heard Mu Ying's loud voice.
"Governor, my subordinates see you're here!"
At this time, it was already winter, because he was afraid of the cold, Li Xin had already put on thick clothes, and after putting on his robe, he walked out and smiled at Mu Ying, who was walking towards him: "Grandpa Mu came to me so early, I don't know what to say?" ”
It is worth mentioning that the rewards of the main generals of the Southwest Army have come down, among which there are four or five people who have been named marquis, and Mu Ying has even won the position of a national duke, becoming one of the only two foreign surnames in the Great Jin Dynasty, but Li Xin has not moved anything except for the position of a metropolitan governor, and he is still a marquis of Jing'an, which is lower than Mu Ying's title.
Mu Ying's dark face turned slightly red, and she said with some embarrassment: "Don't tease me, where am I qualified to be a prince, after the imperial court gave me the title of prince, now those people in the capital who are sloppy and shoot horses compare me with the old Chen Guogong all day long, I am really ashamed, where can I compare with Old Master Ye?" ”
"Why not?"
Old Master Ye's only personal disciple smiled: "When my master was alive, he didn't beat the capital like Grandpa Mu, if his old man had the courage of your Grandpa Mu, it is still unknown what the emperor's surname is." ”
Mu Ying hurriedly waved her hand and said with a smile: "Most of the governors are going to make fun of me, let's go quickly, Mr. You'an didn't see us when he arrived for a while, and he would complain that we neglected him." ”
After eight or nine days of traveling, Zhao Jia had already arrived outside the city at this time, and according to the news from there, he would be able to enter Beijing around the hour.
Conquest of the capital by force is only the first step, and more importantly, it is more important to completely control the imperial court, Li Xin, Mu Ying and others want to talk about war, naturally there is no problem, but when it comes to governing the country, neither of them has any experience, and forcibly entering Shangshutai will not cause the disgust of those who read or not, and it may backfire and have a bad effect.
Therefore, after occupying the capital for ten days, Li Xin and others did not officially enter Shangshutai, which was the center of the national dynasty, but quietly waited for Zhao Jia's arrival.
Therefore, even Mu Ying, who has a bit of a big personality, rushed to the Jing'an Hou Mansion early in the morning to greet this southwest "mastermind" with Li Xin.
Speaking of this, the black-faced general smiled: "The Metropolitan Governor also knows that these big-headed scholars are small-minded, and some of them are still very resentful, so they can't be offended. ”
Li Xin shook his head helplessly: "It doesn't matter if you go to welcome Brother You'an, you say bad things about him behind your back, and if you hear it, Brother You'an may want to record you in his account book and settle accounts with you in the future." ”
Mu Ying's face darkened, and she smiled: "If you don't say it, Mr. You'an shouldn't know." ”
If Zhao Jia becomes the head of Shangshutai, theoretically speaking, he can wear small shoes for anyone in the Southwest Group, even if Li Xin, the governor of the capital, is not as good as the prime minister of Shangshutai in terms of power.
The two of them talked and laughed for a while, each took a dozen personal guards, rode out of the city together, and waited at the west gate of the capital for a long time, when they saw a horse team, running over from afar.
Zhao Jia usually goes out on weekdays, usually by carriage, after all, his body is not very able to withstand the bumps of horseback riding, but because this time the matter is urgent, he rode a fast horse into Beijing, otherwise it would not be possible to rush to the capital from the southwest in seven or eight days.
Fortunately, Zhao Jia is not yet forty years old this year, and he can still endure some hardships.
After the horse team approached, Li Xin and Mu Ying both greeted him, Mu Ying rolled his eyes, and personally stepped forward to lead the horse for Zhao Jia, Zhao Jia hurriedly jumped off the horse and waved his hand again and again: "General Mu can't help it." ”
Li Xin laughed: "Brother You'an, it should be called Grandpa Mu now!" ”
Zhao Jia was stunned, then he reacted, and said with a smile: "It seems that General Mu is prosperous, and he has become the prince of the imperial court so quickly." ”
Mu Ying was laughed uncomfortably by these two people, and waved her hand and said: "Don't make fun of me, a rough person, you two will go back and write to the court and resign from the position of the prince of the country." ”
Zhao Jia winked at Mu Ying and said with a smile: "I'm afraid Grandpa Mu is reluctant." ”
Of course, Mu Ying was reluctant.
In this world, no one will give up the dukedom in their hands, and this dukedom is just a springboard, and after a few years, the world will be overturned, and the duke is just the beginning!
Mu Hei smiled stupidly and ignored Zhao Jia.
After Zhao Jia and Mu Ying made a few jokes, they bowed their heads to Li Xin in a proper manner, and said, "My subordinates have seen the general, congratulations to the general for achieving great things!" ”
Li Xin stretched out his hand to help him up, and said with a smile: "I also congratulate Brother You'an, who can fulfill his long-cherished wish in life." ”
Li Xin stretched out his finger and pointed to the city gate behind him, and said with a smile: "After Brother You'an enters this gate, he will be the Xiangguo of the Great Jin." ”
Zhao Jia smiled and bowed his head: "I don't dare to be, I can only say that I can do some more for the general." ”
As he spoke, he looked left and right, and then asked, "Why don't you see General Li Shuo?" ”
"Brother You'an seems to blame Li Shuo for being rude."
General Li said with a smile: "He, he was injured during the war, and he has to lie down for a few more months, and when he is well injured, let him make up for the greeting to Brother You'an." ”
Zhao Jia smiled bitterly.
"I'm just worried that something happened to General Li, and the general won't make fun of me."
