Unparalleled Concubine - v2 Chapter 1125

   Chapter 1125 Plum Blossom and the Old House

   Li Xin had carefully prepared the arrangements for the court.

With his “recommendation” today, after Zhao Jia enters Beijing, he will naturally enter the Shangshutai, even if it is not convenient for him to directly take the position of the left servant of the Shangshutai, but he uses his “southwest jingjing”. Identity, no matter where he is in the Shangshutai, the scholars in the Shangshutai will be very knowledgeable and put the power in the hands of this Jinglue who is not yet forty years old.

With Zhao Jia taking control of Shangshutai, Li Xin himself will be in charge of the Grand Governor’s Mansion. In addition, some generals and officials from the southwest will enter the imperial court, and will take away a large part of the power from the imperial court. If everything goes well, the key point in the court is Li Xin’s position will be controlled by Li Xin, plus the Southwest Army will be in Beijing for a few years, at most three years, the entire Jin Dynasty will be completely controlled by Li Xin from the inside out.

   At that time, Li Xin and others will truly “occupy” the capital.

At the meeting, Li Xin told the new emperor about the military affairs of the northern Xinjiang, but the emperor who had just ascended the throne could be said to know nothing about the northern Xinjiang. Full power is handed over to Li Xin for disposal.

   Then, after the officials worshipped the new emperor again, this rather simple “enthronement ceremony” was over.

  The civil and military officials left the Weiyang Palace one after another.

   Li Xin also followed these ministers out of Weiyang Palace, but he did not leave the palace, but walked to Changle Palace.

For a long time, Changle Palace was the residence of the emperor of the Great Jin Dynasty, and it was also the place where the emperor accepted the worship of hundreds of officials. However, because the Imchen Palace changed and killed too many people, he dared not live in Changle Palace after he ascended the throne. His father or ancestors looked for his troubles in the middle of the night, so after he ascended the throne, he moved the residence of Emperor Taikang to Weiyang Palace. After that, Emperor Yuanzhao also lived in Weiyang Palace, which became a practice.

   At this time, Changle Palace has been vacant for more than ten years and uninhabited.

But now, the Changle Palace, which has been idle for many years, has welcomed another resident. After Li Xin stepped in, Xiao Zheng, dressed in red, immediately came out to greet him, and bowed his hands to Li Xin: “This servant has seen the Great Governor. “

   Li Xin was slightly stunned, and then smiled dumbly: “Eunuch Xiao is in Changle Palace, and the news is so well-informed. I was sealed today, and Eunuch Xiao knows.”

  Xiao’s face was calm, he lowered his head and said, “It was the servant who guessed it.”

   He glanced at it quietly and said softly, “It’s not hard to guess, Lord Hou, you are a military general…”

In the inner court of the palace, there are Tianmujian and Meihuawei. They are not weak forces, but since the Southwest Army entered the imperial city, Xiao Zheng has already let go. Now Xiao Huai is in charge, but Xiao Huai is this person. He is also Yuan Zhao’s old servant. After the new dynasty is a little more stable in the future, Xiao Huai’s position will have to be replaced by someone else.

   As for Xiao Zheng…

   It’s amazing to be the **** with two emperors.

The big **** who has been in charge of the inner court for more than ten years, looked up at Li Xin, then lowered his head, and said in a low voice: “Even if the Governor wants to kill His Majesty, he should not be in such a hurry, he must leave some dignity for His Majesty and yourself. stop…”

   If it was a serious attempt to usurp the throne, the emperor of the previous dynasty would kill him if he said he would kill it, but now the Southwest Army cannot be regarded as a “rebellion”, it can only be regarded as the side of the Qing monarch, abolishing the emperor.

   This kind of thing is generally not too ugly. Even if you want to kill the emperor, you will wait a year or two, and then declare that the emperor “died from a sudden illness”.

   Even if Dong Zhuo killed Liu Bian, it was a year after he deposed the emperor.

  Murder at this time, on the one hand, it will be difficult to get through on the bright side, it will anger hundreds of officials in the capital, and on the other hand, people in the world will not be able to get through it, and it may cause rebellions in various places.

   These are the rules of the court. When there is no absolute power to break these rules, you have to act according to these rules, otherwise you will be attacked.

If the Southwest Army now has more than 300,000 troops, and all of them are loyal to Li Xin, then General Li should be able to do whatever he wants in the capital, do whatever he wants. kill.

   But unfortunately, the number of the Southwest Army is less than 100,000 now, which is not as good as the number of the two battalions of the forbidden army. In this case, it can only be divided into four or two thousand pounds, first to occupy the magpie’s nest, and then to control the overall situation bit by bit.

   “Don’t worry, if I kill him, he won’t survive today.”

Li Xin looked calm and said, “The imperial court has issued an edict to demote the deposed emperor to King Huai, and the palace of Prince Huai in the capital has been arranged. Since His Royal Highness Prince Huai is no longer the Son of Heaven, he should move out of the palace. I’m here today. It was to take His Royal Highness Prince Huai out of the palace and move into Prince Huai’s mansion.”

  Xiao Zheng let out a long sigh of relief, and cupped his hands to Li Xin: “The slave maid begged to move to Prince Huai’s mansion together with His Majesty… His Royal Highness Prince Huai.”

   “It’s nature.”

   Li Xin said with a smile: “His Royal Highness King Huai will have to take care of Eunuch Xiao in the future.”

   “Only one request.”

  Li Xin looked calm and said, “Before this, Eunuch Xiao will hand over some of the court’s intelligence agencies with one of my subordinates, such as Plum Blossom Guard.”

“For more than a hundred years since the establishment of the Great Jin Dynasty, I believe that there should be more than one Plum Blossom Guard in the dark. The documents in the palace have now been collected by me, and Eunuch Xiao took the initiative to hand them over, and everyone will be safe and sound. It may not be so easy to find out in the document.”

The power of the Dajin court in the shadows was very powerful. The Meihuawei alone was extremely powerful, and even far surpassed Li Xin’s Anbu. Over the years, Li Xin was assassinated by Meihuawei many times in Yongzhou and the southwest, and at least three of them were assassinated. The above life is hanging by a thread, and the Anbu under his command is not the opponent of Meihuawei at all.

   In the end, a group of elite veterans were dispatched from the Southwest Army to serve as Li Xin’s personal guards. They patrolled day and night at twelve o’clock every day, so that Li Xin could escape repeated assassinations.

   This agency made Li Xin quite jealous. If he could take over the Plum Blossom Guard and the rest of the secret power of the imperial court, he would become the most powerful intelligence agency in the world after digesting it.

   Xiao Zheng lowered his head silently: “The slaves will all be handed over to the Governor.”

   When the two were talking, Xiao Zheng had already brought Li Xin into the Changle Palace. At this time, the emperor was abolished… It should be said that His Royal Highness King Huai was kneeling in front of the portraits of the emperors in the side hall of Changle Palace, closing his eyes to repent.

  Xiao Zheng went in to report, and then he stood up from the futon. Because he had been kneeling for too long, after looking back and seeing Li Xin, he staggered towards Li Xin.

   He was much calmer than yesterday, and said to Li Xin quietly, “The teacher is here.”

  Li Xin nodded: “I’m here to pick up His Royal Highness King Huai out of the palace.”

   “The residence of Prince Huai outside the palace is ready. In Yonglefang, His Highness is very familiar with this house and should be used to living there.”

   Hearing Li Xin’s words, King Huai’s expression changed, and he already knew where he was going to live.

  He looked up at Li Xin, his voice trembling slightly: “Is it…Wei Wangfu?”

  Li Xin nodded silently.

   “It’s the palace of the King of Wei.”

Prince Wei’s Mansion was the hidden residence of Emperor Taikang. He also grew up in Prince Wei’s Mansion. After Emperor Taikang ascended the throne, Prince Wei’s Mansion was shelved as a hidden residence. No one lived there. Unexpectedly, after more than ten years, The former heir of the Prince of Wei’s mansion has moved back in again.

   He was silent for a long time, and finally nodded slowly.

“fair enough.”
