Unparalleled Concubine

   Chapter 776 What a Li family!

Li Xin and the emperor could be said to be in a cold war or a confrontation for half a month. This time, the emperor asked Xiao Zheng to personally invite Li Xin into the palace. Naturally, he had to communicate with Li Xin, but Li Xin’s side The response to this was very cold.

He is now very clear that it is basically impossible to resolve the conflict and contradiction between the two people by gentle means. What Li Xin has to do now is to jump out of the chessboard of the Great Jin Dynasty, and in another Play against the emperor on the chessboard.

It is rude to say that if you only talk about the ability to play chess or control the situation, today’s son is much inferior to Li Xin, but the strength of the two is also very different. Take chess as an example, Li Xin’s side is less than the emperor’s. There are even two elephants and a soldier.

   He had only one soldier and five pawns far southwest.

   The remaining soldier is the power that Li Xin has secretly cultivated in the past five years, and can barely protect him secretly.

   On the other hand, on the emperor's side, not only are there complete chess pieces, but also a large number of soldiers. What's more, the "general" on Li Xin's side is now really next to the emperor, and is being watched by the emperor.

To be honest, if it wasn't for the murder weapon like gunpowder, even if it was a big grievance, Li Xin could only imitate Old Man Ye at this time, gritted his teeth and swallowed it, obediently bowing his head in the capital, but with With gunpowder, he can do many things.

Li Xin did not go to see the emperor, and the emperor did not leave his face and took the initiative to come to the main hall to see Li Xin. In a blink of an eye, it was already afternoon and evening, and some important ministers of the Taiwan Ministry had entered the main hall of Weiyang Palace one after another, and found their seats and sat down. When they got down, Li Xin was sitting at the back and close to the door. When these people passed by the door, they couldn't help but glance at Li Xin, their eyelids trembling.

This Marquis Li is a big problem now. In the past, they naturally wanted to be courteous, but now no one knows when this Marquis Li will be imprisoned again. They dare not talk to Li Xin. He didn't dare to offend Li Xin when he spoke, so he could only keep silent, found his seat, and sat down quietly.

   One of the forty-year-old servants of the Ministry of Industry was the most unlucky. He walked up to Li Xin and touched his nose in embarrassment.

   "Li...Shangshu, the position you are sitting in seems to belong to a lower official..."

In addition to the banquet for the royal family and relatives, the ministers only entertained the chiefs of the three princes and nine ministers, the Shangshutai, the chief of the censor, as well as the six ministers and servants. The position of each person was predetermined in advance. Among them, the Ministry of Works had the lowest status, so the waiter of the Ministry of Works could only sit beside the door, and by coincidence, Li Xin was sitting at the seat next to the door.

  Li Xin was expressionless, pointed at the low table at the front on the right, and said indifferently: "We two change seats, you sit with me."

   In the past five years, Li Xin has been in the capital, and he also attends the New Year's Eve banquet every year, so he naturally knows where he should sit.

   This servant of the Ministry of Industry was sweating when he heard the words, but he didn't dare not to listen to Li Xin's words, so he could only walk to Li Xin's seat with embarrassment on his face, and sat down.

  After all the officials arrived, the emperor arrived soon.

This Emperor Taikang no longer wears his usual casual clothes. This time, he wore a serious emperor Mianqi with a jade belt around his waist. Because the clothes were too cumbersome, he even had to be supported by a few palace servants. Maintain the majesty of the emperor.

After the emperor sat on the throne, he first glanced at the ministers in the hall, and after seeing Li Xin sitting at the door, the emperor hesitated a little, and finally said with a smile: "My prince Taibao, why are you sitting like this? Far away, come and sit near."

   All the officials looked sideways, and at the same time they looked at Li Xin who was sitting in the corner.

   It seems that this Marquis of Jing'an has not lost his holy family. Most of the things in the past few days were just nonsense...

   The servant of the Ministry of Industry, who was sitting in Li Xin's seat, stood up immediately as if his **** was burned by fire, and trotted to Li Xin, with an expression on his face that was about to burst into tears.

   "Master Li..."

   Li Xin then stood up, and sat generously beside the first low table on the right side of the Emperor, and sat down safely.

  The emperor nodded and smiled at the ministers.

   "Tonight is New Year's Eve, and tomorrow is the Spring Festival. One yuan begins again, and all phenomena are renewed. Since the beginning of this year, thanks to the blessing of our ancestors and the help of all the ministers, Dajin can be said to be peaceful in the world, and Haiyan and Heqing are clear."

   Having said this, he raised the wine glass in his hand and said with a smile, "I respect you all."

   All the dignitaries in the court immediately stood up, raised the wine glasses in their hands, and toasted the emperor.

   "I look up to Your Majesty's virtuous virtue. Only in the Jin Dynasty can the country be prosperous and the people live in peace. Your Majesty is a sage of the ages, and the people are blessed..."

   After a meal, this glass of wine was eaten.

  Li Xin got up and didn't speak. After quietly drinking a glass of wine, he sat back to his original position.

   Next, it was a long horse-beating session. Many court officials took turns to battle. After a few glasses of wine, Emperor Taikang became an unprecedented sage, benevolent, comparable to Emperor Wu, and surpassing Emperor Chengde.

  This kind of flattering style has existed since ancient times, but the style of Taikang Dynasty is far better than that of Chengde Dynasty.

  The Son of Heaven likes to listen, so naturally many people will say it.

   Li Xinan sat at the low table and poured himself a drink.

   At this time, the big **** dressed in red hurriedly walked into the hall. He took the imperial steps on the right and took small steps all the way to the emperor, and bent down beside the emperor's ear.

   His voice was low.

   "Your Majesty... it's not good..."

   Xiao Zheng swallowed, took another deep breath, and gritted his teeth: "Southwest Muying... rebelled!"

  The emperor was eating, when he heard this, he looked back at Xiao Zheng, his face expressionless: "Didn't he rebel long ago?"

   Eunuch Xiao said with a wry smile: "This time, it's really a rebellion!"

   "Seven days ago, Mu Ying issued a notice saying that the imperial court sent troops to invade Hanzhou Prefecture for no reason. Afterwards, Hanzhou Prefecture disregarded previous suspicions and was willing to recruit security to surrender, but the imperial court remained unmoved, which made the people of Hanzhou very chill..."

   Having said this, he looked up at his majesty and continued: "And... Mu Ying said that they found the royal family of the old Shu, so they no longer serve me, the Jin Dynasty, and they want to restore the country and become Han..."

  The emperor finally put down the chopsticks in his hand and looked back at Xiao Zheng.

"and then?"

  Xiao Zheng took a deep breath and continued: "Now, Mu Ying has begun to lead troops to attack Jincheng, and then divided into Gongjian Pavilion. Once these two places are captured by the Hanzhou Army, the southwest will..."

   Having said that, he did not dare to continue, but the meaning of the words was already obvious.

   If this goes on, the southwest will be lost!

  The emperor was expressionless, took a sip of the strong wine from the glass, and then looked in the direction of Li Xin.

   At this time, Lord Jingan just raised his head, and the two of them looked at each other with complicated expressions.

  No one knows what the two of them are thinking at this time.

  The emperor put down the wine glass in his hand, gritted his teeth fiercely, and looked a little grim.

   "Mu Ying has 50,000 soldiers and horses, how dare he!"

   Because he tried too hard, blood was leaking from the corners of his mouth.

   "Yes, there are still tens of thousands of soldiers from the South in the southwest that are missing."

   Having said this, the emperor once again looked at Li Xin under the imperial steps, his voice full of chills.

   "What a Li family!"
