Unparalleled Concubine

   Chapter 734

  No one is a fool.

   Five years ago, the lies that Li Xin told when he returned to Beijing, except that the real person Chunyang could not be verified because he died without evidence, most of the rest were fully checked by the emperor.

   The most dreaded of the emperor are the 50,000 people in the Hanzhou House who do not know where they came from, and the Pingnan Army who ran out of Jincheng and did not know where to go.

There is still no way for the Pingnan Army to manage. After all, they are either scattered in the deep mountains, or they go to the western border with Li Shuo, but the Hanzhou Prefecture is in the bright place. People are regarded as a thorn in the eye.

His relationship with Li Xin has not yet reached the point of turning his face. He did not intend to attack Li Xin when he attacked the Hanzhou government. On the contrary, he wanted to pull out all of Li Xin's minions, and then let the prince of his own family. Be safe.

   Of course, when the court uses him, it will also install some court minions on him.

   This matter has been planned by the emperor for a long time.

   At the very beginning, he did not want to use such drastic means to deal with the Hanzhou army, so he invited His Highness Li Xing, who was among the remnants of Nanshu, into the capital, and tried to use Li Xinglai to wipe out the threat of the Hanzhou army.

   But it is a pity that Li Xing was killed by the Marquis of Jing'an himself with a sword not long after he entered Beijing, so that the emperor had no other way but to use this relatively violent method.

   This matter has been on his mind since he began to plan for the north.

The emperor knew in his heart that if Li Xin was in the capital, no matter what action he wanted to make against the Southwest, he would be opposed by Li Xin. Even if the objection was invalid, Li Xin would respond quickly, even if Li Xin was remotely in the capital. The situation in the southwest, the wish of the emperor may not be able to achieve.

   Therefore, he had to get Li Xin out of the capital.

   Now, it is the late autumn of the eighth year of Taikang, more than three months have passed since Li Xin left Beijing, and the emperor has also prepared for this for more than three months.

   For the past three months, he has been asking the Ministry of Household to mobilize grain and grass in Hanzhong, the gateway to the southwest.

   Now that everything was almost ready, he called Pei Jin into the palace and told Pei Jin to set off and attack the southwest.

   Pei Jin went out of Beijing alone, and it wouldn't cause too much trouble. When others went to the southwest to start, Li Xin's side would be too late even if he wanted to make a move.

   After all, one south and one north are separated by more than thousands of miles. Even if the Zhenbei Army is willing to join Li Xin to help the southwest, it will take four or five months to travel along the way, and it is too late.

   Besides, it is impossible for the Pingnan Army to do such a thing.

   As for Li Xin's madness, it is unlikely that he will give up the defense of the northern border or join the enemy. Even if Li Xin himself is willing to do such a thing, the Zhenbei Army or the Ye family will not be able to do such a thing.

   After all, the consequences of the emperor's actions, the most serious one, was that Li Xin deliberately lost to Yuwen's ministries in order to vent his anger in the north. This consequence was completely acceptable to the emperor.

   After all, it is the Zhenbei Army of the Ye family, and he will not feel distressed no matter how many people die.

   And with what he knew about Li Xin, Li Xin couldn't do such a thing.

  However, there is nothing wrong with this plan.

   As for why he was in such a hurry to destroy the Hanzhou government...

Of course, it is not because the people of Hanzhou Prefecture are the remnants of Nanshu. It has been more than 40 years since the fall of Nanshu, and there are no real Nanshu citizens. The emperor hates Hanzhou Prefecture so much, not because they are from Nanshu, but Because of…

   They will be used by Li Xin!

   He had to pull out all Li Xin's minions and let his Jing'an Marquis honestly be a Jin minister for life.

   Absolutely cannot let Li Shen's thing happen again!

  The emperor sat on the dragon chair with an expressionless face, quietly looking to the north.

   Xiao Zheng stood in front of the emperor with his hands down, and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, it's time to eat."

  The emperor recovered from his meditation, turned his head and glanced at the **** who had been with him for many years, and said slowly, "Xiao Zheng."

   Eunuch Xiao immediately lowered his head: "The slave is here."

   "Do you know Li Xin?"

   Xiao Zheng, who was wearing a red robe, hesitated for a moment, then said in a low voice, "This servant has a lot of contact with Lord Li, so I don't dare to say that I understand, but I know a little bit."

   Emperor nodded and asked slowly.

   "Then you say... is he a person who will bow his head and admit defeat?"

   Eunuch Xiao was silent for a while, then lowered his head slightly.

   "The slave maid is not clear, but from the slave maid's point of view, Li Houye looks smooth on the surface, but he is a person with sharp edges and corners."

  The emperor narrowed his eyes and said nothing, just stood up from his seat and said, "Let's go, let's have dinner."

   He walked in front of Xiao Zheng alone, with his hands behind his back, and murmured in a voice that he could only hear.

   "I'm doing this for your own good, whether you understand it or not."

   "You don't understand, I'm not afraid of you now."

  …………

No matter how many people Li Xin buried in the capital, he couldn't hear what happened in the palace compound. Besides, the capital was thousands of miles away from Jimen Pass, so even if he heard it, it wouldn't spread to Jizhou for a while. City to go.

   Just as General Pei Jin was leaving the capital in the dark of night with secret edicts and documents from the Ministry of War, the Marquis of Jing'an in Jimen Pass had already interrogated the assassins in Jizhou City.

   Of course, the interrogation process will not be too friendly. Under Wang Tao's rough men, these Xianbei people have suffered a little bit.

   To be precise… I suffered a lot.

  Li Xin sat on the main seat, listened to the confessions of these Xianbei people, and narrowed his eyes.

   "Meaning, the slaughterhouse closest to us is going to kill me."

   "And the so-called Heavenly King Yuwenzhao wanted to see me."

  Wang Tao bowed and said, "That's probably what it means."

   "Most of these people are ordinary members of the Yuwen tribes. They haven't received the kind of training of the dead. They don't seem to be lying, and even if they lie, this kind of lie is meaningless."

   Li Xin lowered his head slightly, closed his eyes for a moment, and then slowly opened his eyes.

   "In the various departments of Yuwen, there is a word, there is a loophole that can be exploited, and it can be used to make close attacks."

   "You send someone to send a letter to their Heavenly King Yuwenzhao, saying that I want to meet him."

  Wang Tao nodded and replied respectfully.

   "Master Hou, where do we meet?"

  According to the rules, the two opposing sides agreed to meet. If one party proposes to meet, the other party must specify the time and place. Now that Yuwenzhao wants to see Li Xin, it is naturally the place where Li Xin agreed.

   Li Xin smiled and said, "It's in this Jizhou city. As for the time, tell him that I will live in this city for a month, and I'll see him if I dare to come."

  Wang Tao nodded and bent down.

   Ye Mao, who was following Li Xin, opened his mouth and asked, "Uncle Shi, the people from the Buddha Temple want to kill you, so you spared them?"

   Lord Jingan narrowed his eyes and smiled.

   "The actions of Yuwen's four divisions are inconsistent, and there are many flaws. If that Yuwenzhao dares to enter Jizhou City to see me, it means that he is a man with great ambitions. At that time, Yuwen's Buddha Temple will be destroyed."

   The causal relationship of this sentence is a bit unreasonable, the little master was confused, he scratched his head, a little embarrassed.

   "Master, I didn't understand..."

  Li Xin got up from his chair and smiled at him.

   "You don't need to understand, just go back to Zhenbei Army Camp and lead your troops there."
