Unparalleled Concubine

   Chapter 779 I also have difficulties

   "But now there is."

   Li Xin looked calm and said indifferently: "If Your Majesty is not willing to go out with a different surnamed king, then Mu Ying and others will stand on their own, and then the southwest will be established, and Your Majesty will be the co-lord of the world, will you fight or not?"

"Since ancient times, Zhu Xia has the rules to support the ancestral temple. At this time, Your Majesty is willing to go out with a different surname, and you can still have a reputation as a benevolent monarch. Once a country is established in the southwest, Your Majesty will be dragged into this quagmire and will never move again. No, not only will the Northern Expedition of the Yuwen Department be lost, but your Majesty's Taikang Dynasty will probably be pulled into the southwest quagmire, unable to move."

  The emperor's face was very ugly.

   "But... you can obviously make them stop!"

   Li Xin looked at the emperor lightly.

"Your Majesty, it was indeed the minister who brokered the mediation between them five years ago. At that time, the forbidden army brought down the might of the Pingnan Army, and the remnants of Nanshu agreed to be naturalized into the Jin Dynasty. In the past five years, Hanzhou has never had any place that could not resist the imperial court. , even the taxation did not miss a grain of grain for the imperial court."

   "If it goes on like this, at most twenty or thirty years, that is, a generation's work, they will truly become the people of Dajin, and they will be naturalized into Dajin, so that Nanshu will completely disappear."

   Having said this, Li Xin raised his head and looked at the emperor with a calm expression.

   "But at this time, the imperial court suddenly sent troops to surround Hanzhou, killing 10,000 of them, and even burning down many villages in Hanzhou."

   "Five years ago, the minister was able to move them, but after the court's actions, does Your Majesty think that the minister can still move them?"

   "They originally thought that the imperial court would really agree with them. How could these people still believe in me after General Pei won the battle?"

   "At this time, whoever ran to the southwest and made them return to the way they were before, they would not be able to agree."

Li Xin took a deep breath and continued: "At this moment, it is no longer something that can be solved by the identity of a citizen of the great Jin. If your majesty doesn't pay, they will not stop. It doesn't matter if your majesty doesn't want to give this king of Shu. There are still more than 300,000 imperial troops in Gyeonggi. Whether they are from the Tsang family or the Xie family, His Majesty will appoint one to lead the imperial troops from the right or left camps to the west again. It only takes two or three years to come, and the southwest will be pacified. ."

If the emperor had "Tian Lei" in his hand at this time, he would agree with Li Xin without hesitation, and send people from the Clan family, or directly send Hou Jingde to go west again, but at the moment he does not know that Tian Lei, in the end How great.

If you lose a Southwest, you will not be able to save your face at most, and you will not be seriously injured. After all, from Emperor Wu to Emperor Chengde thirty years ago, the Southwest has never been in the hands of the imperial court. Being dragged in the quagmire of the southwest, then it is not as simple as a serious injury to vitality...

   is about to shake the country!

  The emperor frowned.

After the founding of the Great Jin Dynasty, it was a small country with partial security. It was only during the period of Emperor Wu that it counterattacked and successfully unified it. Then, the Holy Son of Heaven came to the dynasty, and the national strength became stronger and stronger. When it was passed to him, this was a dynasty in its heyday. He can't let this prosperous dynasty go to the point of shaking the country in his own hands!

   For a southwest, it's not worth it.

  The emperor frowned and thought for a long time, and finally closed his eyes slowly.

   "I agree to the conditions you said."

With an expressionless face, the emperor said slowly: "But Mu Ying's behavior in the southwest must be stopped immediately, and the so-called lord of Nanshu will also come to the capital and kowtow to me, and then I will give him the title of king of Shu. "

   "From then on, in the southwest, except for Hanzhou, other places still have to pay taxes to the imperial court, and Hanzhou is even a fiefdom given to the king of Shu by me."

   In the end, this time, the emperor wanted to pull out the wings of the Marquis of Jing'an, and finally found that these wings were made of iron. Not only did they not pull out, but they cut his hand.

   What he pays now is the blood shed.

  Li Xin's face was calm.

   "Your Majesty is so enlightened, this minister greatly admires."

  The emperor looked at Li Xin angrily: "Can you write to Mu Ying now?"

  Li Xin shook his head.

"Your Majesty has misunderstood, the minister has never been able to control Mu Ying, this time he made trouble, and it is not the minister's intention. Now your majesty has set out his own conditions, and he can send someone to the southwest with the imperial edict to recruit the Hanzhou army and join the minister. It doesn't matter."

   He took a deep breath and said, "I made a guarantor five years ago, but Your Majesty openly breached the contract. Now I have lost my credibility in front of the people of Hanzhou, and it is not easy to meddle in."

  The emperor is about to slap the table.

   His voice was furious.

   "Li Changan, I have already given way. If the rebels in the southwest don't know what's wrong, then I will immediately transfer the forbidden army to the southwest to suppress the rebellion. The Yuwen tribes in the north are amazing, I just don't fight!"

  Li Xin got up and bowed deeply to the emperor.

   "If Your Majesty trusts the minister, the minister can be shameless again and go to the southwest on behalf of the court to have a good talk with Mu Ying and others."

   Having said this, he paused.

   "It's just that the minister can't guarantee whether it will succeed or not."

   "You can't go out of Beijing."

   The Son of Heaven's tone was firm, and there was no room for negotiation.

   Of course, Li Xin could not leave the capital. Now the Pingnan Army in the southwest has already rebelled. If Li Xin goes to the southwest again, he will contact the old Pingnan Army back then. His wife and children are not in the capital, and he can raise a flag to rebel at any time.

  A Mu Ying raised a flag to rebel in the southwest, which has already caused the emperor quite a headache. If Li Xin goes to the southwest to become a rebel, I am afraid that the emperor will not be able to sleep for the rest of his life!

   In a short period of time, it is impossible for the emperor to let Li Xin go out of Beijing.

  The Marquis of Jing'an took a deep breath and said, "Everything is according to His Majesty's arrangement, the minister will retire first."

  The Son of Heaven was silent for a while, then spoke slowly.

   "I won't kill you, just bring back Xiao Jiu and my nephews and nieces. No matter how cold-blooded I am, I won't kill my relatives, and I won't use them to threaten you."

  Li Xin bowed slightly, indicating that he understood.

   He slowly exited the Weiyang Palace.

  The emperor hesitated for a while, and finally said: "Chang'an..."

  Li Xin stopped.

  The Son of Heaven continued.

   "I ... in the throne, some things are beyond my control and I have to do them. I also have my difficulties."

  Li Xin nodded slightly and slowly exited Weiyang Palace.

   The emperor, sitting on the throne in the study, looked at Li Xin's back and sighed helplessly.

   His face turned pale, and then he coughed violently.

   The little **** who was waiting on the side immediately gathered around and handed the emperor a pill. After the emperor closed his eyes and swallowed the water, his face slowly improved.

After a long time, the emperor finally recovered. After a moment of silence, he slowly asked, "Is Xiao Zheng back?"

   Just now, Xiao Zheng was sent by him to Zhaoling to check whether Li Shen died at that time, but Zhaoling was about 10 or 20 miles away from the capital, so Xiao Zheng could not come back at this time.

The **** beside    bowed his head respectfully.

   "Go back to your majesty, the Grand Duke has not returned to the palace."

  The Son of Heaven nodded.

   "I'm tired, go back to the bedroom and rest."

  Therefore, a group of eunuchs immediately brought the sedan chair and waited for the emperor to sit on it.

  The emperor sat in the sedan chair, closed his eyes and thought for a while, and then opened his mouth to give an order.

   "After Xiao Zheng returns to the palace, let him see me as soon as possible."
