Unparalleled Concubine

   Chapter 791 Please Your Majesty Believe Me

The Hanzhou Army took the Southwest in an all-round way, which was something Li Xin and Zhao Jia had discussed in advance, so after hearing the words of the Son of Heaven, he was not surprised, but calmly said: "Your Majesty, you will assign something else to the Southwest. It has nothing to do with the ministers, and since the Hanzhou army has rebelled, it will be a matter of time before they attack the Jiange, and the imperial court should have taken precautions."

  The emperor gritted his teeth.

   "But I have already agreed to your request!"

   "Xie Jing, he went to the southwest with the edict to seal the king of Shu, but Mu Ying and the others avoided him and continued to use swords in the southwest!"

Originally, it was the most suitable for Li Xin to go to the southwest to deal with this matter, but the emperor was worried about letting Li Xin leave the capital, so he could only assign people who were close to him. Jing, he took over this errand and led one of Qianniuwei's school lieutenant camp to the southwest.

But obviously, neither Zhao Jia nor Mu Ying would buy Xie Jing's account. The empress's reputation is very popular in the capital, but it is of no use in the southwest. Therefore, Uncle Guo was shelved in Jincheng. One month, after Jiange was defeated by Mu Ying, did the southwest side propose to negotiate with the imperial court.

   Li Xin took a deep breath and said, "Your Majesty, I have a friendship with Mu Ying, but friendship is not something to eat. I can't control what he is doing in the southwest at this time."

   "Can't you control it?"

  The emperor sneered: "The magistrate of Liyang, Zhao Jia, who you took the initiative to ask me for an official position, hung up his seal and resigned a few days ago, left Liyang in a grand manner, and went to the southwest!"

   "As far as I know, after this Zhao Jia went to the southwest, he was stationed in the official office of Jincheng and became the prefect of Jincheng!"

   When Li Xin sent someone to **** Zhao Jia out of the capital, he alarmed the court, not only the court, but even those under Shen Gang, who also clashed with the court, killing and injuring many people.

   Therefore, the emperor will naturally know the news of Zhao Jia's departure from Beijing, but this month, the emperor has been holding back and didn't talk about it with Li Xin.

As for the news from Jincheng, it is even simpler. Even Li Xin can secretly cultivate intelligence organizations, not to mention the royal family, not to mention Jincheng, an important southwestern area. In fact, from the period of the Pingnan Army, Jincheng There have always been people from the court in the city providing information to the court.

   Li Xin was silent for a while, then suddenly took a deep breath and said, "Your Majesty, can I stand up and talk?"

On weekdays, when Li Xin entered the palace, he usually did not need to kneel and salute. However, the relationship between the two of them has deteriorated recently, and Li Xin would kneel down when he entered the palace. In the past, even if Li Xin knelt down, the emperor would quickly make him stand up. But this time, the Son of Heaven had been talking to him, so Li Xin could only kneel like this.

   He was not used to talking on his knees like this.

  The emperor snorted: "You just get up."

  Li Xin stood up from the ground, stretched out his hand and rubbed his aching knee, then looked up at the emperor, and said slowly, "Your Majesty, if things continue to escalate like this, it will not benefit anyone."

After a pause, Li Xin continued: "Your Majesty should understand the minister, the minister is not the kind of ambitious person, and has never thought about being an emperor. Now the chaos in the southwest has been unsolved, and the minister can leave the capital. A trip to help His Majesty quell the chaos in the southwest."

   A disdainful smile appeared on the emperor's face.

Li Xin turned a blind eye and continued: "There will be a king of Shu in the southwest, but he will still pay tribute to the imperial court and be a minister to the imperial court. The rise and fall of the emperor must be done by the ancient benevolent ruler. Your majesty will help you to restore the country. In the future, in the history books, your majesty can The ancient Renjun juxtaposed."

  The Emperor gave Li Xin a blank look.

   "In the past five or six years, you have lied to me countless times, why can I trust you?"

  Li Xin bowed his head slightly.

   "Your Majesty, I have never deliberately deceived Your Majesty. Today's matter, if it wasn't for Pei Jin's expedition to the southwest, it would not have been like this."

"My minister was in Jizhou City last year, and he has already made a plan. If there is nothing wrong with the southwest, the minister is still in Jibei. At this time, the strategy has already begun. Within a few months, there will only be two remaining departments of Yuwen. No longer able to go south, then the southwest of Dajin will be stable, the northern border will be stable, your majesty will sit firmly on the throne, and ministers can also be their own princes of peace in the capital."

  The emperor was expressionless.

   "You mean, it's all because of my faintness that I'm in today's predicament?"

  Li Xin shook his head, knelt on the ground again, and bowed his head deeply.

   "Your Majesty, this minister is willing to mediate this matter. The southwest will still be the southwest of the Great Jin. It's just as if it never happened, and it's as if General Pei never left the capital."

  The emperor said coldly: "What do you mean, Hanzhou Muying can return to Jincheng, return to Jiange, continue to retreat to Hanzhou city, and call me a minister?"

   To be honest, the emperor also regretted letting Pei Jin go west at this time, but as the supreme man in the world, Jinkou Yuyan said that he could not admit that he was wrong, so he could only stalemate.

   But if the situation in the southwest can be as Li Xin said, back to the way it was before, the emperor would still be happy to see it.

  Li Xin shook his head.

"The minister has already said that there will be a king of Shu in the southwest. Now that the Hanzhou army has captured Jincheng and Jiange, the southwest has basically been divided. If you want them to spit it out for no reason, no one can save face. ."

  Jing'an Marquis said solemnly: "I can't do it, and neither can Mu Ying."

Li Xin's words are true. The will of a group is often not changed because of the leader, but will control the leader. The Hanzhou Army is not a monolithic army. They won Jincheng and Jiange after they died. Li Xin, even if Mu Ying asked them to return to Hanzhou again, it would probably cause dissatisfaction.

   "There will be a nominal Chenghan in the southwest, a Chenghan who is a minister to the Jin Dynasty."

  The emperor looked at Li Xin angrily.

   "Emperor Wu conquered all obstacles and fought for eight years before he ruled the world. Do you want me to split up the land that Emperor Wu conquered?"

  The Marquis of Jing An lowered his head and said, "Then His Majesty had to order General Pei once again to lead the forbidden army to the west."

  The Son of Heaven sat on the throne with an extremely ugly face.

   "I...I won't trust you anymore."

   He gritted his teeth and said, "You can go to the southwest, but Xiaojiu and the others must go back to Yonglefang and Jing'an Hou's mansion, otherwise you have no restraints, and I can't let you go out of Beijing like this!"

  Li Xin shook his head slightly.

   "Your Majesty, as a ruler, you should not use other people's wives as coercion. It is too disgraceful."

   The emperor groaned: "I will not harm my sister and nephew, let them stay in the capital, and you will come back to Beijing."

  The Marquis of Jing An stood up straight in the hall, bowed his head to the emperor, and sighed deeply.

   "Your Majesty, I have believed with Your Majesty for more than ten years, and the minister has not failed His Majesty. I ask Your Majesty to believe in this minister again."

   "The minister leaves the capital at this time, and the Great Jin is saved from a military disaster. The southwest will still bow to His Majesty as a minister. The Hanzhou army will never become a rebel army, and the so-called king of Shu will only be the king of Shu in name."

   "Otherwise, the situation in the southwest will be out of control, and if the imperial court sends troops, it will not be able to capture the southwest. In five or ten years, the southwest will be restored to the homeland of the Han Dynasty. At that time, they will have an army of 100,000 or even 200,000..."

  Tianzi's eyelids trembled, and he looked straight at Li Xin.

   "Li Changan."

   "How should I trust you?"
