Unparalleled Concubine

   Chapter 683 Discord

  In the Weiyang Palace, it was silent.

  The emperor quietly looked at Jing'an Hou Li Xin under the steps, while Jing'an Hou Ye was stooping properly, not looking up at Sheng Yan.

   Neither of them said a word, so no one in the entire Weiyang Palace dared to make a sound, and the palace staff who were on duty were even holding their breath in fear.

  I don't know how long it has passed, and a footstep sounded outside the study. It was Xiao Zheng, the **** of the inner guard, who sent Xie Dai back.

  According to the rules in the palace, eunuchs often walk in small steps and cannot make a sound. Xiao Zheng is one of the veterans, and there is not much sound when walking, but at this time, the sound of his walking is very obvious.

  Because the study in Weiyang Palace at this time...it was too quiet.

   Xiao Zheng only took a step forward, and realized that the atmosphere here was not right. He also held his breath and quietly stood beside the emperor without speaking.

   After watching Li Xin for a while, the emperor had a faint smile on his face.

   "So, Changan, you really did a good thing."

Having said this, the emperor paused for a while, and then said lightly: "It's just that I heard that the survivors of Nanshu in the southwest are very nostalgic, and they also recognize this old highness of Nanshu. If he kills him, isn't he afraid that the 50,000 Hanzhou troops in the southwest will rise up and cause chaos?"

   Li Xin bowed his head respectfully and said solemnly, "Go back to your Majesty, it has been forty years since Nanshu destroyed the country."

"Forty years is enough for these Nanshu survivors to reproduce for two generations. In fact, the current Hanzhou general Mu Ying has ceased to exist in Nanshu since he was born. Today, most of the Nanshu survivors in Hanzhou are from In this way, the real survivors of Nanshu in those days no longer exist."

   "What's more, five years ago, they fought **** battles and finally had a legal status as Dajin."

   "Now these people in Hanzhou may still respect Li Xing, but it is impossible for them to rebel and engage in beheading because of Li Xing."

The Marquis of Jing'an said calmly: "I guess, it is precisely because of this reason that Li Xing, the great highness of the old Nanshu, will enter the capital at this time, and he must want to make trouble in the capital. Things, such as the assassination of Your Majesty, made the imperial court angry with the Hanzhou army, forcing them to rebel again."

   "So you killed him?"

The emperor glanced at Li Xin lightly, smiled and said, "If this is the case, why should it be handed over to the Ministry of Punishment for interrogation, and forced to ask him who is his comrade in the capital, Chang'an, how can you be so impulsive, and directly take action against this Highness? Killed?"

Li Xin took a deep breath and said, "Your Majesty, I couldn't help the minister to think about this, this man still wanted to kill the minister even though his hands were tied. Go ahead and kill him."

  The Emperor nodded, seemingly accepting Li Xin's statement.

   "Good kill."

   He sat back on the throne again, looked up at Li Xin, and asked indifferently, "Just now, Chang'an said that he suspected that Li Xing came to Beijing to assassinate me?"

"good."

The Marquis of Jing'an said solemnly: "Since the beginning of the Chengde Dynasty, the royal family of Nanshu has been conspiring to assassinate the royal family. I remember that in the eighteenth year of Chengde, the minister personally caught two of them in Datongfang. It is inevitable that these actions are in front of us. It makes people doubt that they have this idea.”

  The smile on Emperor Taikang's face subsided.

   "What if I told you that I invited Li Xing into the capital?"

  The Marquis of Jing An was standing respectfully with his hands down. Hearing this, he looked up at the Son of Heaven and frowned, "What does Your Majesty mean?"

  The emperor was expressionless.

"Five years ago, Chang'an, you told me that the military power of Hanzhou Prefecture is actually in the hands of this Li Xing. The 50,000 soldiers and horses are stationed in the southwest, which is a major disaster for the court. Therefore, I have been in the past few years. I'm quite concerned, and I also think that it's best to try not to fight, and it's best to subdue the soldiers without fighting."

   "So I thought of a way to contact this Highness several times, thinking about whether I can make him take the initiative to hand over the military power in his hand."

   "After contacting for a whole number of years, this Li Xing is willing to leave for Beijing. I am preparing to meet him in the past two days, who knows..."

   "I'll never see you again."

   Having said that, the Emperor gave Li Xin a half-smile.

   "Changan, you are really neat in your work."

  The Marquis of Jing'an was greatly frightened, and immediately knelt on the ground, bowed his head and said, "Your Majesty, this minister is a serious sin."

   "I don't know that Your Majesty has foresighted and acted without authorization, which ruined the important affairs of the court. Please punish Your Majesty."

   The emperor quietly looked at Li Xin, who was kneeling on the ground, with a complicated mood.

   At this time, the two rulers and ministers in Weiyang Palace probably knew that each other was not telling the truth, but at this time, both of them could only "accept" each other's statement.

  Because if you don't accept it, you'll get into trouble and you won't be able to get off the stage.

   The two of them couldn't get off the stage.

  Thinking of this, the Son of Heaven stood up from the throne, reached out to Li Xin to help him up, shook his head and said, "I've told you many times, and I don't need to kneel in private."

  Li Xin bowed and said: "This minister has committed a serious crime, please punish your Majesty."

   "Forget it, Chang'an, you also have a sincere heart. Those who don't know are innocent."

  The emperor shook his head helplessly and said, "It's just that if there is something going on in the future, you might as well discuss it with me first. Let the brothers and I breathe together first, otherwise we will go our separate ways, and it will be out of character if it happens like this."

  Then you called Li Xing to Beijing, why didn't you discuss it with me?

   Of course, this sentence cannot be said. Li Xin took a deep breath and bowed his head respectfully: "My minister, obey Your Majesty's order."

The emperor sighed and said, "This Li Xing was the one who let him come to Beijing, and now he was killed by the court people not long after he entered Beijing. People in the world will inevitably say that I trapped him and spread it out. It doesn't sound good."

  The Marquis of Jing An lowered his head very knowingly and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, this matter cannot be spread. Li Xing is a rebel from beginning to end, and His Majesty has never summoned him."

  The emperor nodded, and said helplessly: "Li Xing is dead, the line that I have been leading for a few years is broken, and the Hanzhou government has no clue."

   "That's it."

   Emperor Taikang shook his head and said: "Chang'an, you will take care of the aftermath, and pay more attention to the situation in Hanzhou Prefecture. Since Li Xing is dead..."

   "If you have time, let that Mu Ying come to Beijing and see him in person."

  Jing'an Hou said solemnly: "I will do it immediately."

The emperor took Li Xin's arm and said with a smile: "This matter is not in a hurry, Chang'an, you can do it after you remember it. The most urgent task now is the errand of the Ministry of War. I looked at it in detail in the past two days, and they will be able to complete it in half a month. At that time, Chang'an, you have to send these things to the north as soon as possible."

   Li Xin bowed and should be.

   "Don't worry, Your Majesty, the Ministry of War will definitely do a good job."

   After finishing speaking, the monarch and the minister said something about the military supervisor and the issue of the wine offering from the imperial wine secretary. After talking about a stick of incense, Li Xin bowed and said goodbye.

  The **** Xiao Zheng personally sent Li Xin out of the palace.

   When Li Xin walked out of Weiyang Palace, the emperor, who had always been smiling, suddenly became furious.

   He patted the table viciously, and then the severe pain from his palm made the emperor's face distorted.

   "Li Changan, what are you trying to do!"
