Unparalleled Concubine - v2 Chapter 1128

   Chapter 1128 Good start and good end

With Zhao Jia in charge of Shangshutai, Li Xin doesn’t have to spend too much time on state affairs. Those subtle details, such as the awards of the officers and men of the Southwest Army, their official positions, and how to deal with the officials in Beijing, are all important. It can be handed over to Zhao Jia to deal with it.

After Li Xin entered Beijing, in order to temporarily stabilize the imperial court, the original officials in the capital basically did not move, but in fact it was very wrong to do so. Since the Southwest Army has entered the capital, what should be done must be done, for example It is said that for the original officials in the imperial court, it is naturally impossible to overthrow them, but they cannot stand still. It is necessary to attract a group, suppress a group, and then promote a group, and then put people from the southwest into various key positions. These things have to be done little by little.

   For this aspect, Li Xin is not very good at it, and it happens to be handed over to Zhao Jia, who is very thoughtful.

Zhao Jia is the most innocent person in the entire Southwest Group. He has the ability and no power. The best thing is that he has not moved a soldier or a soldier for more than ten years in the Southwest, and he has not been contaminated at all in military affairs, so no matter what. Li Xin can rest assured that he can do anything with him.

   is great, but only the second Zhang Qu and Zhang Hao.

With Zhao Jia to take care of the government, Li Xin began to organize military affairs. In the past two weeks, the Southwest Army has controlled the capital, while the two battalions of the forbidden army have been confiscated their weapons and armor and placed in the big camp outside the city. In addition, there are the major yamen in the capital, including the city gate soldiers and horses, the imperial city soldiers and horses, and the inspection department, and the candidates for the three guards must be rearranged by Li Xin.

   Of course, except for the Imperial Guard, the other yamen are trivial and do not require much effort.

   After returning from Cui Jiuniang, Li Xin began to think about how to reorganize the forbidden army.

It is also worth mentioning that Li Xin went to Qinhuaifang to visit Cui Jiuniang a few days ago. He originally wanted to take this old friend back to live in the Jinganhou Mansion, or simply find another house for her in Yonglefang, or give her to her. Another nunnery was built to practice, but these were all rejected by Cui Jiuniang. She spent most of her life in Qinhuaifang. Now that she is 40 years old, she can no longer leave that place. In desperation, Li Xin can only let people She bought a big house in Qinhuaifang, and found a few maids to take care of her daily life. For the time being, let her live in Qinhuaifang. When Zhong Xiaoxiao and the others return to the capital, Zhong Xiaoxiao will persuade her.

Li Xin pondered for two whole days in Jing’an Hou’s Mansion. On the third day, the sky was covered with dark clouds, and the cold winter rain fell. There were even some small hailstones like salt grains mixed in the raindrops. Chill.

   Li Xin, who was already afraid of the cold, had already put on a fur coat, wrapping himself tightly.

He put on his clothes and walked to a small yard in his backyard. Before he got close to the yard, he could smell a strong smell of traditional Chinese medicine. Li Xin rubbed his nose and walked in. Immediately after walking in, there was the Hou Mansion. The servant bowed his head and saluted him: “Master Hou.”

  Li Xin nodded silently: “General Li’s body is better?”

   During the siege of the city that day, Li Shuo took the lead and led the Ningzhou army into the capital. Later, because of the love of the battle, he was unable to retreat in time, and was shot two arrows in the back. The injury was not too serious, but it was definitely not a minor injury.

  Because of this reason, Li Shuo stayed in Jing’an Hou’s residence for half a month after entering the capital, and did not show up much.

   In the past half month, not only Li Shuo himself missed a lot of opportunities, but even the awards received by the Ningzhou Army as a whole were slightly inferior to that of the Hanzhou Army.

   “Master Hou, General Li is slowly recovering, and in a few days, he will be able to go down to the ground.”

  Li Xin nodded silently, squatted down beside the medicine jar in the yard, and asked softly, “Is this medicine ready?”

   “Master Hui, it’s already fried, and I’m about to send it to General Li.”

  Li Xin nodded silently, poured the black Chinese medicine in the medicine jar into the medicine bowl, picked up the medicine bowl himself, and walked into the house.

At this time, Li Shuo couldn’t get down to the ground, so he could only lie on the hospital bed. He could not get up to look when he heard the movement outside. When he saw Li Xin walk in with the medicine in person, he felt terrified and struggled to sit down. stand up.

  Li Xin shook his head slightly at him: “There’s no need to be so polite, we can be considered a family.”

Leaving aside the veritable blood relationship between the two brothers, Li Shuo has been an elder brother for more than ten years, and Li Xin, even if he is a stone man, should have warmed up a little for more than ten years. Li Shen’er’s indifference towards Li Shuo has slowly vanished.

Furthermore, Li Shuo and his Ningzhou Army have contributed a lot in helping Li Xin balance the forces in the southwest over the years, and Li Shuo’s Ningzhou Army will also become the military foundation of the “Li Family” in the future. one.

   Therefore, Li Xin still attaches great importance to this cheap brother.

  Li Shuo coughed a few times, barely sat up from the bed, looked up at Li Xin, and said with a wry smile, “It’s the younger brother who was injured recklessly, and Brother Lao has been bothered.”

  Li Xin shook his head slightly, reached out and handed the medicine bowl over, and asked, “Is it better?”

  Li Shuo took the medicine bowl with both hands, and happily drank the extremely bitter soup in one gulp, then forcibly endured the extremely bitter taste in his mouth, and forced a smile at Li Xin.

   “The wound has scabbed over, and it will be better in a few days.”

Li Xin smiled at him: “The people in your family came to Beijing with my wife and children. In more than a month, they should arrive in the capital, and when they arrive in the capital, your injuries should be healed. .”

Several cores of the Southwest Group have their own tacit understanding. When everyone is in the southwest, naturally they occupy a place in the southwest, but once the Southwest Army has conquered the capital, everyone successfully occupies the court, and the place in the southwest will be withdrawn. Come out and leave it to the Mu family, who is not named Mu, to take care of it.

Of course, this kind of management does not mean that the Mu family will become a country of its own in the southwest, the court will still send officials, and the taxes that should be paid in the southwest will still be paid, but as long as there is no conflict between the two sides, the Mu family will be influenced by the southwest. The most powerful family.

   Therefore, in this case, whether it is Li Xin or Zhao Jia, or Li Shuo, who was originally stationed in Ningzhou, will leave the southwest and come to the capital to “develop”.

  Li Shuo nodded slightly, his voice a little hoarse: “Thanks to my brother for taking care of me, otherwise I’m sick in bed these days and can’t do anything.”

Li Xin reached out and patted his shoulder, then said with a smile, “If your family doesn’t speak two words, then your family will stay in the capital in the future. I won’t say **** like Prince Wandai, but there is one point. Guaranteed, you and I, brothers, share weal and woe.”

  Li Shuo looked serious.

   “Little brother all obeys elder brother’s arrangement.”

  Li Xin smiled: “Okay, when you feel better, go to lead a battalion of forbidden troops, and let me, my elder brother, sleep more peacefully, how about that?”

Li Shuo frowned slightly: “Brother, I have been here to recover from injuries these days, and I have also thought about a lot of things. In my opinion, neither I nor General Mu are suitable for leading troops in the capital. Brother can arrange one for me. I am very grateful for my idle job in Beijing.”

He said in a low voice, “It’s a major event for the country of soldiers. Although the Southwest Army has been able to work together today, but the capital has been broken, everyone will have their own thoughts. My brother’s idea is that it is best for us generals of the Southwest Army not to do so in the future. Commander.”

   “It’s better than being suspicious of each other in the future.”

   He looked at Li Xin and said softly.

   “I want to have a good start with my brother.”

   “It’s only been a few days since I entered Beijing, and you take me as the emperor of the Ji family?”

   Li Xin chuckled: “The Southwest Army is a bit out of date now. I need to integrate the Southwest Army, which is willing to stay in the capital, with the Forbidden Army as soon as possible, and reorganize the Forbidden Army. Among them, the key point of the firearms battalion should be considered especially carefully.”

   “There are many places in which you and Mu Ying are still needed to help. At this time, you can’t make a choice?”
