Unparalleled Concubine

Page 973

The two of them searched for a while in the middle of the school grounds, and found some stumps and broken arms of the straw man. It was almost dark at this time, Li Xin cupped his hands at the emperor, and was about to say goodbye and leave.

The emperor sent them off in person, and the two masters and apprentices walked in the palace city under the darkness.

"Teacher, I have already written a letter to the old man according to the teacher's suggestion. At first, the old man was not willing to return to Beijing. After I wrote three letters, he was willing to return to Beijing to preside over government affairs."

Lord Jing'an nodded and said: "Master Gongyang returned to Beijing to preside over the Shangshutai, and the somewhat turbulent court situation will soon be stabilized."

The Son of Heaven glanced at Li Xin, and asked, "How many people have you arrested in total in the past few days, Teacher?"

"Almost 900 people."

Li Xin said calmly: "The people from the Ministry of Punishment are still on trial. It won't take long for more people to be implicated. In a few months, thousands or even tens of thousands of people can be arrested."

Having said that, he smiled.

"When Mr. Gongyang returns to Beijing, he will definitely be impatient with me knowing that I have arrested so many civil servants, but this is also good. If he rescues some of them, his reputation will increase a lot. It's a matter of course."

The emperor said in a deep voice: "Then before the old sheep returns to the capital, kill everyone who should be killed. As the teacher said, not killing is not enough to shock people's hearts, not killing is not enough to uphold the majesty of the emperor!"

"That is as His Majesty wishes."

Li Xin half-closed his eyes and said with a smile: "Tomorrow, I will start killing people in Xishi Street."

Speaking of this, the two of them were about to reach the gate of Yong'an Gate. Li Xin stopped and cupped his hands at the emperor: "Your Majesty can just send it here. I will go home and prepare for tomorrow's affairs."

"Thank you teacher."

The Son of Heaven respects Li Xin as a disciple, and Li Xin respects the Son of Heaven as a ruler and minister.

After saluting, Li Xin raised his head to look at the little emperor in front of him, and said, "Your Majesty, Mr. Gongyang returns to Beijing. After the court situation is stabilized, Your Majesty will turn his gaze to the north. As far as I know, Yu Wenzhao in the north The Department has already begun to annex the only remaining Yuwen Helan Department among the Yuwen Departments, and there is a huge disparity in power between them, and there will be a result soon."

"If we don't divide and contain the northern border, there will be no more peace in the northern border of the Great Jin Dynasty for at most ten years. If the imperial court's energy, money and grain are dragged in the northern border by the Yuwen Ministry, there will be conflicts and the country's fortune will decline."

"When the first emperor was around, he was already planning the northern frontier. My Great Jinwu Emperor swept the south and the north. Even if this kind of glory can't be reproduced, it can't plant hidden dangers in this dynasty."

"Your Majesty is about to take charge of the government. This is a worry in your heart. Please think about it more, Your Majesty."

About Tianlei, seven or eight of Li Xin's ten sentences are false, but when it comes to northern Xinjiang, he is true in every sentence.

Since the third year of Taikang, he has been studying the Xianbei Yuwen in the north. Now he has a very clear judgment on the situation in the north. The current Yuwen Department still has something to do. When the Xianbei Department in the north is truly unified, he will definitely want to reproduce it. With the glory of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, there will definitely be conflicts between the two sides.

At that time, it will not be a problem that the two standing armies of Yunzhou Army and Zhenbei Army can solve.

The emperor nodded slightly, and said to Li Xin: "I have written down what the teacher said. When the old sheep returns to Beijing, I will discuss it with him."

The Marquis of Jing'an bowed his head respectfully.

"In this way, the minister will leave."

Chapter 934

Although it has dominated the world for more than 40 years, the Northern Zhou Dynasty has already become dust in history, but the Northern Zhou Dynasty left too many shadows on the Southern Jin Dynasty for many years.

You must know that in the more than 100 years of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, there were three times that they almost hit the capital of the Southern Jin Dynasty, and one time they had already approached the city.

Because of this, although the Northern Zhou Dynasty no longer exists, there are only Yuwen tribes surviving outside the Jimen Pass. The family and the family were all placed in the north to guard the gate of the country.

Before Emperor Taikang died, he specifically entrusted Li Xin to help his son and take care of the affairs of northern Xinjiang.

Even Li Xin himself wanted to completely eliminate the hidden dangers in the north.

He is also a descendant of Zhuxia, and he has a strong sense of identity with this land. The history of the last world is still vivid in his mind, from the chaos of the Five Dynasties, to the Battle of Jingkang, and then to the braids going south. This land will suffer too much.

It is true that the current national strength of the Jin Dynasty is strong, and the Yuwen tribes in the north are not strong enough. Even if they are left alone, it is estimated that until Li Xin closes his eyes, the Xianbei tribe in northern Xinjiang will not completely break into Jimen Pass. , You can’t just think about yourself. When Li Xin came to this world, he always wanted to do something for future generations.

During the period of Emperor Wu of the Great Jin Dynasty, the national power of the Great Jin Dynasty was almost completely emptied after the domination of the world. Even the entire Chengde Dynasty was recuperating and unable to look beyond the door. However, by the time of the Taikang Dynasty, a generation had grown up. The men who fought in the Southern and Northern Wars also grew up, and the money and food that should be saved were also saved by the Chengde Emperor. Therefore, by the time of the Taikang Dynasty, the court already had the capital to attack northern Xinjiang.

And starting from the third year of Taikang, the imperial court also planned to do that.

If... If Emperor Taikang hadn't been in poor health, if Emperor Taikang hadn't been distracted to take the Southwest, at this time the Yuwen Department in the north would have been maimed, if not smashed.

It is a pity that due to various reasons, this matter was not able to be completed when Emperor Taikang closed his eyes, but the foundation was saved. As long as the political situation of the court stabilized, he could attack the north at any time.

Right now, we only need to see the attitude of the Emperor Yuanzhao, who is about to formally govern himself.

After Li Xin left the palace, he returned home and took a nap. The next morning, after practicing boxing, he was looking through the file in the study. At about the right time, Habayashi Wei Zhonglang, Xie Dai, came to the Jing'an Hou Mansion. ask to see.

After entering the study room of the Marquis of Jing'an, he bowed his head respectfully to Li Xin: "Teacher, the Xishi Street side is ready."

Li Xin was flipping through a book in his hand, he threw it on the table and asked, "How many people did you kill today?"

"Shen Kuan's family..."

Speaking of this, Xie Dai's eyelids also trembled, and he couldn't bear it. He reached out and took out a list from his sleeve, and handed it to Li Xin.

"Shen Kuan's family... and Yan Shouzhuo, as well as a few other prime ministers, plus some of the main criminals who were interrogated this time, a total of 110 people."

Xie Dai took a deep breath, continued to grit his teeth and said: "According to the order of the Taifu, this time the case will be a major case, and the first batch of people who will be beheaded are all personally marked by Weiyang Palace, and those who come out of the follow-up interrogation The case files will be sent to the Taifu, who will decide whether to live or die."

Lord Jing'an stretched out his hand to take the list, and when he saw the names ticked off with a Chinese ink pen, he pointed to the crimson red ticks on the list, and smiled at Xie Dai.

"Our Majesty doesn't dare to kill people himself. Someone has assumed this responsibility for him. It's very enjoyable to kill people. Look at these hooks, they are full of murderous intent."

Whether as a teacher or as an elder, Li Xin has nothing wrong with teasing the emperor, but Xie Dai, who is also the elder of the emperor, dare not speak, he can only falter and nod: "Teacher said Yes."

"Let's go, if you don't go, it's time to miss the hour."

Because he was going to supervise and kill people, and it was almost the end of the new year, and the weather was quite cold, Li Xin didn't ride a horse, but sat in a carriage and walked towards West Market Street.

Xie Dai was going to ride a horse, but was pulled into the carriage by Lord Jing'an.

In the carriage, Li Xin took a lump of charcoal and threw it into the stove in the carriage. Then he stretched out his hand to warm the fire, and said casually to Xie Dai: "Did your Majesty and the Queen Mother find Xie Lang to enter?" palace?"

Xie Dai was a little confused, he said in astonishment: "Your Majesty and Your Majesty have never summoned officials into the palace."

Li Xin let out an "oh" and said lightly, "Then you will be admitted to the palace soon."

Xie Dai frowned, and lowered his head slightly to Li Xin: "Can the Taifu have a famous saying?"

Only then did Lord Jing'an shift his gaze from the stove to the general of Habayashi Wei Zhonglang, and he said with a smile: "The sixth prince of the late emperor will leave Beijing soon, and he should be sent to Shanyin if there is no accident. The Xie family will take care of it, and when the time comes, your cousin will be responsible for escorting the sixth prince back to Shanyin."

"If there is no accident, the sixth prince will still be raised in your family."

Xie Dai is a smart man. He also knew about the troubles caused by the ministers in the court to make the sixth prince the emperor. Hearing what Li Xin said, he immediately understood why the sixth prince wanted to leave Beijing. Reason, but he was still a little puzzled, frowned and said: "The sixth prince is leaving the capital, the lower officials can understand, the Shanyin Xie clan is the mother clan of the sixth prince, so it is not surprising to go there, but even if the sixth prince goes to the Shanyin Xie clan, It should also be to go to his relatives' grandparents' house... how could it be possible to fall into the branch of Xiaguan..."

"Because this prince is very difficult."

Jing'an Hou Ye smiled lightly: "He is the only son of the first emperor besides His Majesty, and he is a brother with His Majesty. In theory, he is the biggest threat to the throne. It is a big deal for such a person to be raised at home. There are hidden dangers, maybe one day the emperor will be unhappy, and he will send down thunder."
