Chapter 126: Turning the Corner

Facing the emotional outburst of the Son of Heaven, the Marquis of Jing'an still did not panic, he was just silent for a while, and then slowly spoke: "The minister has never had any ill will towards His Majesty, otherwise the minister could have stood on Li Shen's side five years ago, and could even take over the Pingnan Army from Li Shen." ”

Speaking of this, Li Xin glanced up at the Son of Heaven.

"At that time, the minister had no children and no daughters, only the eldest princess who had just married stayed in the capital, to put it mildly, if the minister fell to Jincheng at that time, Your Majesty's day today may be sad."

Speaking of this, the Marquis of Jing'an was expressionless.

"The affairs of the southwest, the minister did a very clean job, Your Majesty can't find evidence that the minister is in tandem with Mu Ying, but since Your Majesty wants to talk about this matter, it makes no sense for the minister to say those lies again."

Of course, Li Xin can continue to talk to the Son of Heaven, but that is meaningless, after all, everyone knows in their hearts what the other party has done.

Speaking of this, Li Xin said calmly: "This time, the minister did help the Hanzhou army and repelled General Pei Jin, but the minister thought it was not a crime. ”

He glanced up at the Son of Heaven.

"Your Majesty, what is Mu Ying's crime?"

The Son of Heaven had a gloomy face: "He refuses to obey the imperial decree!" ”

Li Xin nodded and continued to ask: "What is the crime of the people of Hanzhou, as for the imperial court to use more than 100,000 troops, to make a big move?" ”

The Son of Heaven was speechless.

This time, in fact, it was the imperial court that unilaterally provoked Hanzhou, and the imperial court first wanted to change the Hanzhou general for no reason, and when Mu Ying had agreed to the new Hanzhou general to enter the Hanzhou General's Mansion, but was unwilling to go to Beijing, Pei Jin and others brazenly launched an attack on Hanzhou.

In other words, fundamentally speaking, it is the side of the imperial court that is at fault.

While speaking, Li Xin took out a document from his sleeve, put it in front of him, and said: "This is the second year of Taikang, Your Majesty asked the ministers to contact the remnants of Nanshu, and the agreement made with the remnants of Nanshu is written in black and white, and in the future, the remnants of Nanshu will be the people of the Great Jin Dynasty, and the court will give them a place to live, and the two sides will no longer be enemies." ”

"For this agreement, five years ago, the remnants of Nanshu did pull up the farmers in the fields and formed an army of 50,000 people, and together with the imperial army, they conquered the Pingnan army."

"In that battle, they also killed more than 10,000 people."

Li Xin took a deep breath and continued: "For them, the dead are worth it, after all, they don't have to hide in the future, they can live in peace under the sun. ”

"Five years ago, His Majesty had recognized their Hanzhou Army as the imperial court, but in the past five years, they have not received a single grain salary, and even so, the five-year taxes of Hanzhou City have not been handed over to the imperial court at all."

"But it's only been five years......"

The Marquis of Jing'an raised his head and looked at the Son of Heaven: "In just five years, the people they have died, what Your Majesty said, all of them don't count." ”

"Your Majesty, what are these people's crimes?"

Speaking of this, Li Xin pointed to his nose, and then said: "Of course, the minister understands that His Majesty probably doesn't look down on a small Hanzhou, and the reason why he wants to do something to them is because he feels that they are my people, and even the Hanzhou Army is also a private soldier raised by me, and it is my Li Xin who is plotting against them." ”

The Marquis of Jing'an took a deep breath and said indifferently: "If this is the case, Your Majesty will directly dismiss the minister, and the big deal is that the minister is also like Master Ye, who has not been out of the house for decades, and can be an idle colt with peace of mind." ”

"But Your Majesty, there was no sound in advance, and as soon as the minister was transferred to the northern Xinjiang, he changed hands and attacked Hanzhou."

General Li frowned, and finally took a deep breath.

"The minister didn't agree."

The Son of Heaven was at a loss, but he couldn't admit it, he walked to Li Xin's side angrily and said in a low voice: "You mean it's all my fault? ”

"I don't dare."

Li Xin bowed his head and said, "Your Majesty is not guilty, the crime is in all directions." ”

"It's just that Your Majesty has lived in the capital since he was a child, and he has never been to other places, 10,000 people, 20,000 people, or even 100,000 people, for Your Majesty, maybe it's just a number."

"But everyone is a living being, they are not as noble as His Majesty, but they also want to live."

The Son of Heaven was already angry with Li Xin, but after hearing Li Xin's words, he became even more angry, almost gritting his teeth.

"So five years ago, you made up a story about a pure Yang real person to coax me?"

"So you, Li Chang'an, at this time, hand over that unknown weapon that has been hidden from me for five years to outsiders to deal with the imperial army?"

The Marquis of Jing'an knelt on the ground and glanced at the emperor with a calm face.

"If there is no matter of Hanzhou, the pure yang real person will always be the pure yang real person, and it will not become a sharp weapon in His Majesty's mouth."

"The minister has never thought of turning it into a sharp weapon, let alone deceiving His Majesty."

The Son of Heaven's eyes were terrifying.

He walked up to Li Xin, half-squatted down, gritted his teeth and said, "You handed this thing over to Mu Ying?" ”

Li Xin frowned slightly.

"Your Majesty, this thing is ominous."

After a pause, he continued: "Moreover, it is not as powerful as His Majesty thinks, it is just a plaything, the reason why General Pei was defeated is because the generals under the command of the general are all rabble, and they have little to do with that thing. ”

"You treat me like a child, don't you?"

The Son of Heaven gritted his teeth and said: "Xiao Zheng saw with his own eyes with the clairvoyant mirror, that thing fell from a high altitude, and its power can open mountains and crack stones!" ”

The Marquis of Jing'an bowed his head.

"Your Majesty doesn't believe it, and the minister has no choice, this time the southwest change, although the minister knows, but the minister did not participate, but it is more or less related to the minister, no matter what kind of sin His Majesty descends, the minister will gladly accept it."

The Son of Heaven was furious and shouted, "What if I kill you?" ”

Li Xin closed his eyes, bowed his head and said: "The minister has nothing to say, but please read the brother-sister relationship with the eldest princess, and let go of the eldest princess and the minister's children." ”

Seeing Li Xin's appearance of not getting oil and salt in, the Son of Heaven was even more angry in his heart.

"You're really sure that I won't kill you?"

Li Xin stopped talking, closed his eyes and was silent.

The Son of Heaven gasped for breath several times before he could barely calm down, and he walked to Li Xin's side and stretched out his hand to help Li Xin up.

However, Li Xin still knelt on the ground, unwilling to get up.

The Son of Heaven simply sat beside Li Xin and slowed down his tone as much as possible.

"Chang'an, you and I are like brothers, I won't kill you."

After a pause, he said in a calm tone as much as possible: "You give that thing to me, I will treat it as if the southwest incident has not happened, and the people of Hanzhou will always be the people of the Great Jin Dynasty in the future, how about it?" ”

Li Xin opened his eyes, bowed his head and said, "Your Majesty, you have already broken your promise once. ”

"Besides, this thing is obtained by chance in a "pure yang Taoist book", the production process is extremely complicated, and the minister can't remember, this Taoist book is now in the city of Hanzhou, and the minister wants to dedicate it to His Majesty, but he can't do anything. ”

"You really gave that thing to Mu Ying!"

The Son of Heaven exploded again, and his face was gloomy.

Li Xin shook his head slightly: "Your Majesty, although the Taoist book is in Hanzhou, it is not in Mu Ying's hands, and it is temporarily placed in a friend of the minister." ”

"Your Majesty, rest assured, if there is no accident in Hanzhou, there will never be such a hoodoo again."

"To put it bluntly, you just don't want to give this thing to me!"

Taikang Tianzi's face turned red, and finally slapped the table fiercely.

"Someone!"

Xiao Zheng and the others were already guarding the gate of the palace, but when they heard this, they immediately ran in and knelt on the ground.

"Slaves and maids are ......"

"Escort Li Xin down and put him in the Dali Temple prison pending trial!"
