Unparalleled Concubine

   Chapter 799 Southwest King

In the face of a unified dynasty that is still on the rise, it is unlikely that any force will pose too much threat to it. Take Li Xin as an example, he can take root in the southwest now, and according to his control over the southwest, the southwest After running for two or three years, most of the forces in the southwest will be able to be in his hands. No matter how the imperial court is sealed, he will be the king of Shu.

   But this is useless.

Although Li Xin can be a local emperor in this southwest corner, it is very difficult for him to go out from the southwest. He can only stick to the southwest in this life, and once the imperial court withdraws from the north, or the imperial court obtains the formula of gunpowder from a certain channel, Then the southwestern regime will tremble under the front of the imperial imperial army.

   Therefore, Li Xin was not prepared to be the emperor of this land.

   As for who will do it, it still needs to be discussed slowly.

   After resting in the Jiange for two or three days, Li Xin once again got into the carriage of the Jing'an Hou residence, left the Jiange, and walked towards Jincheng.

But this time, Xie Dai, who came to the southwest with Li Xin, and Yu Linwei under Xie Dai were all left in the Jiange to be "guarded", and Li Shuo also followed the original Ping Li Chuan, the deputy general of the Southern Army, left Jiange and returned to the Ping Southern Army station to discuss the matter of merging into the Hanzhou Army.

  This time, with Li Xin, it was General Mu Yingmu.

  Jiang Pavilion is not very far from Jincheng, only about 500 miles away. The carriage only traveled on the road for three or four days, and on the morning of the fourth day, it arrived at the gate of Jincheng.

   Today's Jincheng city wall, several "Li" flags fluttering in the wind, looks very majestic.

Li Xin and Mu Ying got off the carriage, he looked up at the flags, and shook his head helplessly: "Xie Jing should still be in Jincheng, show him these flags, and he will most likely meet them when he returns to Beijing. Join me in rebellion."

  Muying greeted the Hanzhou army on the tower, and smiled: "Those people are not worth mentioning, and they will never leave the southwest for the matter of the Lord Hou's words."

   The two sat down and talked for a long time these days. At this time, Mu Ying no longer wanted Li Xin to rebel, but he still didn't have a good impression of the Dajin court.

   Li Xin didn't say a word, he got into the carriage, the carriage slowly drove into Jincheng.

  Because the people in the city need to live, although the situation in the southwest is tense, the gate of Jincheng is still open normally.

   At Li Xin's request, Jincheng didn't use a big battle to welcome Li Xin. The group sat in the black carriage of Jing'an Hou's mansion and arrived at Jincheng's mansion in a low-key manner.

Zhao Jia, who had been a mansion master in Jincheng for several months, was waiting for Li Xin's carriage at the gate of the mansion. After seeing Li Xin getting off the carriage, he took two steps forward and bowed his head to Li Xin deeply: "I have seen Hou Hou. Father."

   Li Xin patted Zhao Jia's shoulder with emotion.

   "Brother You'an has worked hard."

   Zhao Jia shook his head and didn't say much. He looked at Li Xin and asked, "How did Lord Hou come out of the capital?"

  According to common sense, at this time, the emperor is unlikely to let Li Xin out anyway, so Zhao Jia will ask this question.

   A smile appeared on Li Xin's face.

   "Maybe it was the Ye family's great victory in the north, which made the emperor feel that the situation could be controlled, so he was willing to let me out of the capital to calm the southwest."

   Zhao Jia frowned and said, "I'm afraid this reason is not enough to let Lord Hou go out of Beijing?"

  The Marquis of Jingan fell silent.

   After a while, he sighed helplessly: "There is still some affection from the past, the emperor believed me once."

   Zhao Jia glanced at Li Xin in surprise, then lowered his head and said, "This is not the place to talk, let's talk inside."

   said, he moved out of the way and let Li Xin walk in the front. He and Mu Ying lined up left and right, and welcomed Li Xin to the backyard of the mansion.

This mansion was built during the Chenghan period. It was the Jingzhao mansion of Chenghan, so it was quite imposing. It was much larger than the mansion in other places. There was not only a row of houses in the backyard, but also a The back garden, which is not too big or not, is considered to be the "best quality" among the government offices. Compared with Zhao Jia's county government office in Liyang County, the conditions are much better.

  The three finally sat down in the study of the government office.

  Li Xin sat on the main seat, then took out a roll of imperial decree from his sleeve, placed it lightly on the table, and said, "This is the imperial decree from His Majesty to seal the King of Shu."

After a pause, he continued: "The imperial court agrees that there is a king of Shu in the southwest, but it cannot agree that there is a Chenghan in the southwest, which means that the southwest can only be a vassal state of the Great Jin, and the Chenghan Li clan can become a great emperor. The king of Jin, but he cannot be called the emperor."

   Zhao Jia is still thinking about the benefits and benefits of this matter, while Mu Ying on the side has already opened his mouth and said, "Master Hou, are the southwestern prefectures under the control of the king of Shu or the imperial court?"

Li Xin's face was calm: "It stands to reason that the vassal kings can't handle government affairs, and naturally they are managed by the imperial court, but we have military power in our hands. If we can successfully integrate the troops of the Pingnan Army into the Hanzhou Army, there are 100,000 people. No matter who comes to the southwest, we have the final say in the southwest."

Zhao Jia had known the news that the Pingnan Army was going to be incorporated into the Hanzhou Army a few days ago, so he was not surprised. To be the king of Shu?"

   Li Xin smiled and looked at Mu Ying.

"Brother Mu's son, hasn't his surname changed to Li temporarily? Let's let Brother Mu's son be the king of Shu. Now the powers of the southwestern provinces are different. Even if there is a real king of Shu, it doesn't count. It's better to let a little baby be the king of Shu, so that both the court and the locality will feel more at ease."

Mu Ying's face changed slightly, he stood up quickly, bowed his head to Li Xin and said: "Master Hou has misunderstood, my family has no intention of being the king of Shu, but the clan of the Li family in the southwest has no blood, so I will use my son first. Instead, I have already discussed with my father before that when Lord Hou arrives in the southwest, we can invite the young son of the Hou residence to be the king of Shu.”

   Having said this, he took a deep breath and looked up at Li Xin: "The son of Lord Hou's family also happens to be surnamed Li, and he doesn't even need to change his surname..."

  Li Xin smiled.

   "Brother Mu, you underestimate me. I told you before that I won't be the king of Shu, I won't do it, and neither will my son."

He looked at Mu Ying and said slowly: "The Mu family itself is an aristocratic family in the Southwest. If it wasn't for Chenghan's name, there would be no problem for the Mu family to be the king of Shu directly. I may not be in the southwest in the future. My son came to the southwest for no reason, to be the king of this different surname."

   Muying looked complicated, he looked up at Li Xin.

   "Master Hou..."

  Li Xin stretched out his hand and threw the imperial decree to Mu Ying lightly, and said indifferently: "Take it home and treat it as a gift to my nephew."

   This volume of imperial decree can seal a king with a different surname recognized by the Great Jin court, and it can be handed down from generation to generation. It can be said to be one of the most precious gifts in the world.

   Mu Ying reached out and took it, bowed her head deeply, both hands trembling slightly.

   What he is holding in his hand... is the king, the king of Jin!

   Was thrown over so lightly by...?

   He took a deep breath and bowed his head deeply to Li Xin.

   "If Marquis has another heir in the future, he can come to the southwest to inherit..."

   Li Xin gave this fellow a blank look and interrupted him.

   "Look at your unpromising appearance, put it away, I can't use this thing at home."
