"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that this matter is not too anxious."

Li Xin rubbed his head and said in a deep voice: "What we know at present is that the abolished prince is very likely to have gone to Shu County, as long as we watch General Pei and not let him contact the Pingnan Hou Mansion." ”

"If he contacts the Pingnan Marquis Mansion, His Majesty can use the name of the general's personal collusion to get the forbidden army under General Pei back."

The Son of Heaven said silently: "They don't have to contact, if Southern Xinjiang raises troops, Pei Jin will most likely not be able to contribute." ”

Li Xin smiled and said: "When it comes to wartime, Zhang Xiang's words will not be as useful as His Majesty, and at that time, the people of the farming family and the Ye family can take the position of General Pei." ”

The Son of Heaven nodded.

"Hearing Chang'an say this, I am a lot more relieved."

After a pause, he continued: "But this matter still has to be done, and Pei Jin must be driven down as soon as possible, the forbidden army is in his hands, and I always feel unsure in my heart." ”

Li Xin smiled and said, "Your Majesty, rest assured, the minister will start to do it immediately." ”

The Son of Heaven was silent for a while, and then said: "Try to do it before the year, the sooner we hold the power in our hands, the sooner we can attack Southern Xinjiang." ”

"Otherwise, with Pei Jin in the back, we will not only never be able to pacify southern Xinjiang, but also bury a big hidden danger behind us."

Li Xin pondered for a while, and then said: "The minister's family is not far from Shu County, and in the past half a year in his hometown, he sent people to Shu County to inquire about some news, according to the news, the strength of the Pingnan Army should be more than His Majesty expected before. ”

As he spoke, Li Xin repeated Li Shuo's words.

Then he continued: "If this news is true, the Pingnan Army has two or three hundred thousand soldiers to fight in southern Xinjiang, which is an extremely large number, so large that it is not worth your majesty to collide with them head-on. ”

The Son of Heaven looked solemn.

"Is this information reliable?"

"It should be reliable."

Li Xin slowly exhaled a breath and said, "If this were not the case, the Pingnan Marquis Mansion would not dare to take in the waste prince at this time. ”

"That's going to be difficult."

Taikang Tianzi frowned and sighed: "Looking at it this way, even if we pacify Southern Xinjiang, it will greatly damage our vitality, and even give the Northern Zhou in the north an opportunity to take advantage of." ”

Li Xin smiled and said: "Your Majesty, it is not advisable to come to Southern Xinjiang by force, but you can outwit it, in the past half a year, Your Majesty has contacted the Mu family among the remnants of the old Shu, and the head of the Mu family has agreed to surrender to the Great Jin, and when we do it, the Mu family can be used as an internal response, so that the chance of success will be much greater." ”

The Son of Heaven became interested and asked, "How many people are in this Mu family?" ”

"About twenty thousand."

Li Xin smiled and said: "Not to mention anything else, as long as the Mu family does it, at least it can ensure that those remnants of Nanshu will not interfere with it, we just need to concentrate on dealing with the Pingnan Army." ”

The Son of Heaven was overjoyed.

"Chang'an is really my blessed general!"

Li Xin bowed his head humbly.

The two of them talked about some Yongzhou things again, and they talked for most of the hour, before the Son of Heaven patted Li Xin on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Chang'an, you have traveled a long way, and you should be tired when you just returned to Beijing. ”

Marquis Jing'an bowed his head and said, "This is the minister's honor." ”

"Okay, I won't delay your rest, you can rest at home for a few days first, and then go to the court to do things after three days, and then you can go to the yamen of the military department a little more, and throw Yu Linwei to the people below."

Li Xin said with a smile: "Your Majesty said yes. ”

"Besides, remember to go into the palace tomorrow morning to see the queen mother, she has been thinking about you for half a year and often talking about you."

Li Xin said respectfully: "Weichen obeys. ”

"Alright, there you go."

Li Xin bowed and retired.

After Li Xin walked away, Taikang Tianzi looked at Li Xin's back and seemed to be smiling.

"Brother Xin, I knew about the situation in southern Xinjiang for a long time, but I didn't tell you......"

This son of heaven is quite complacent.

For a long time, Li Xin had to steadily overshadow the new emperor in terms of wisdom, but today, Li Xin was finally deceived by him once.

What he didn't know was that Li Xin knew he knew early on.

Li Xin just pretended not to know that he knew.

(These two sentences are very ...... If you don't understand it, skip it...... ）

…………………………

Jing'an Hou Mansion.

Li Xin arrived in Lin'an City at almost noon, and delayed for a while in Datongfang, and it was afternoon when he entered the palace, and when he returned home, it was already dark.

Li Xin threw the clothes on his body aside.

It's good to be an official, but this dress is too troublesome, and you have to wear it neatly in the summer.

Li Xin took a comfortable shower, and then lay directly on the bed.

In the past few months, he has been running on the road, and he is indeed very tired.

After closing his eyes, Li Xin was not in a hurry to sleep, but went through the various contexts and relationships of the characters in the capital in his mind.

Yu Linwei, Qian Niuwei, Forbidden Army, Pei Jin, Zhang Haoran......

And Li Shen.

These people and things, like a wandering horse, went through Li Xin's mind.

This is a habit that Li Xin developed in his previous life.

He is not a particularly smart person, but he is used to carefully going through things before doing things, and in doing so, he will get twice the result with half the effort.

After a moment, the Marquis of Jing An opened his eyes and muttered to himself.

Pei Jin ...... Forbidden Army..."

"My relationship with Hou Jingde is not bad enough, if I really want to share the forbidden army with him, I have to make trouble with him, and I have to make a lot of trouble."

Check and balance each other in the court, the relationship can't be too good, even if Li Xin and Hou Jingde have a good relationship now, they have to turn their faces at that time.

This is the Son of Heaven weakening the energy of the "Yulin Wei Yi Line" in disguise.

"Half of the Forbidden Army ......"

The total number of forbidden troops near the capital should exceed 300,000, and half of the forbidden army should have at least 1560,000 people.

Thinking of this, Li Xin suddenly remembered something.

He let out a long breath.

"If the matter is done, if nothing else, I will use the 1560,000 people I brought with me to fight the Southern Army."

"His Royal Highness the King of Wei...... It's a lot smarter. ”

Li Xin thought about it and fell asleep.

During this time, he was also a little tired.

……

Early the next morning, Li Xin got up and stood on a fist pile, and then drove to Princess Qinghe's mansion to pick up people, and he wanted to take Princess Qinghe into the palace to greet the queen mother.

The ninth princess didn't know why, so she insisted on taking Zhong Xiaoxiao into the palace to see the queen mother, and hugged her into the carriage.

The relationship between the two girls, one big and one young, has grown by leaps and bounds during this time, and Xiaoxiao has begun to call her Sister Xiaojiu.

Li Xin said helplessly: "Xiaoxiao, she is afraid of people. ”

"I'm not afraid."

The ninth princess hugged Xiaoxiao and said, "She is much better now, she is not too afraid of people, and my mother is very good, she will definitely like her very much." ”

Li Xin turned his head to look at Zhong Xiaoxiao.

This girl did not refuse.

Li Xin hugged this girl over, and said angrily: "There are man-eating monsters in the palace, and I will eat you in one bite." ”

Zhong Xiaoxiao blinked his big eyes.

"I'm not afraid."

“……。”

So the carriage moved slowly.

……

In the middle of July of the first year of Taikang, after a half-year absence, Li Xin returned to the center of power in the world.
