Unparalleled Concubine - v2 Chapter 1143

   Chapter 1143 Pressure from within

  Yankang first year, February 24th.

This year seems to be a bit colder than previous years. It wasn’t until March that the weather gradually warmed up. The Marquis of Jing’an, who was afraid of the cold, also took off the fur that he had been wearing all winter, and put on a slightly thinner coat. A bit of autumn clothing.

Because Li Xin doesn’t usually go to the court, he leaves the capital, and there will be no major changes in the court situation. Now the total number of Longwuwei and Shenwuwei together has exceeded 150,000, and the entire capital can be said to be It is impregnable.

Lin Hu arrived in the capital a month ago, and now he is officially the commander of the Shenji Camp. However, things like Shenji Camp cannot be prepared overnight. After a month, he has only made a prototype, and the rest is used for The firearms supervisor, which manufactures firearms, and the artisan school, which is used to train “technical talents”, are slowly being built up little by little.

These things can’t be done in a day or two or a month or two, nor can Li Xin be able to fix it by staring at it himself. Therefore, in March in the spring, the actual controller of the capital was sitting in a black car. The carriage, under the **** of two or three hundred personal guards, quietly left the capital.

   Not only Li Xin was alone in the carriage, but there was also a boy of seven or eight years old. The boy was still wearing a winter cotton padded jacket and was sitting properly opposite Li Xin.

   This is Li Ping, the eldest son of Li Xin.

   At present, he is also Li Xin’s only son. Of course, it will be the only son or two in the future, because after two months of unremitting efforts by Li Dadu, the Ninth Princess has become pregnant again and is now raising a child at home.

Although Li Ping is only seven or eight years old, his nature is not particularly detached. He is not noisy or noisy along the way. He only occasionally sees things he has not seen along the way, and he will shout “Daddy”, and then Li Xin will point to the road. Beside the cows, sheep, chickens, dogs, etc., patiently tell him.

  The father and son sat in the carriage and walked unsteadily for two or three days.

   On the third day, the sky was overcast, Li Xin added a piece of clothes to the child, and then asked, “Have you been used to living in the capital these few months?”

“Habit.”

  Li Ping responded very obediently: “My sister took me to eat a lot of delicious food, but the home in Beijing is bigger than our home in Yongzhou, and sometimes I get lost at home.”

   Li Xin laughed: “Have you met any friends?”

“some.”

  Li Ping said softly, “Brother Mu and younger brother from uncle’s family often come to the house to find me to play…”

   He looked up at Li Xin and said with a smile: “My sister will take us around to find some delicious food. Last month, my sister even gave us some fried chicken legs to eat.”

  Ahan’s fried chicken skills were taught to her by Li Xin two months ago.

   Speaking of friends in the capital, Li Ping was intrigued, pulling his father’s sleeve and chatting with Li Xin about a lot of things in the capital.

  Li Xin nodded silently and smiled: “You can live in the capital as long as you can.”

   Sure enough, the children of Li Shuo and Mu Ying have already begun to contact their only son.

Not only that, as the Southwest Group’s control of the capital is getting deeper and deeper, among the two armies of Longwuwei and Shenwuwei, the voices of wanting Li Xin to ascend to the throne are getting stronger and stronger, not only the Southwest Group, but also the original capital of the capital. Among those civil servants, some people have already begun to ponder the matter of persuading them to enter.

Not only that, since the beginning of spring, among the children in the capital, the song “Eighteen sons, the main artifact” has begun to spread, and it was once sung very widely, not only in the capital, but also in Gyeonggi and the nearby prefectures. ballad.

   This kind of ballad with obvious intentions is obviously promoted by the people of the Southwest Group.

In addition to these internal pressures from the Southwest Army, there were still many people in Dajin who were dissatisfied with the rule of Li Xin’s Southwest Group. In some places, the vassal kings began to coerce the local people to rebel. Within two months, the entire Dajin River, south and north, plus There were seven or eight rebellions together, five of which were quelled by local officials, and the other three were quelled by Li Shuo, the general of Shenwuwei, personally led by troops.

  Unfortunately, under this circumstance, Li Xin left the capital with Li Ping, the prince of Jing’an Houfu.

   After sitting in the carriage for almost six days, the father and son stopped at the gate of an unremarkable county town.

   As soon as they got off the carriage, they saw a tall and strong man waiting at the gate of the county town. After the carriage stopped, the strong man hurried up and bowed his head to Li Xin: “I have seen the Great Governor.”

   Li Xin patted the man on the shoulder and said with a smile, “What? You’ve become a prince, and you don’t even recognize my uncle?”

   In today’s court, there are only two dukes with different surnames. Among them, Muying, the duke of Qian, is still leading Long Wuwei in the capital, and the other duke, Ye Mao, who has been fighting in the northern border for more than half a year.

At the end of last year, the Yunzhou Army first gave 20,000 soldiers and horses to support Jizhou, and then the four Zhechong houses led by He Song also arrived in Jizhou, and the defense pressure of Jizhou disappeared. Because of his recuperation, he temporarily retreated to the second line and gave the command of Jizhou to He Xiong, and Ye Guogong himself quietly left Jizhou and returned to his hometown in Ningling.

   Of course, he greeted Li Xin in advance.

   At this time, Ye Mao had only returned to Ningling for four or five days.

  Ye Mao may not have seen Li Xin for a long time, and he smiled when he heard the words: “Uncle Shi has made a fortune now, I am afraid that Uncle Shi will turn his face and not recognize my nephew.”

   Two people, one is the Grand Governor of the Grand Governor’s Mansion, and the other is the General of the Zhenbei Army. They gathered in Ningling at the same time, naturally because… Qingming is here.

  Li Xin was unable to visit Ningling for several years because of the war, so he brought his son to kowtow to the deceased teacher, and Ye Mao did not come back for three or four years because of state affairs.

Li Xinshen pointed at Li Ping, who was standing beside him, and said to Ye Mao with a smile: “This is my son, the name is still from the old man, and I have never had the opportunity to bring him back to kowtow to the old man. When I finally have a chance this year, I will bring him here. already.”

   Ye Mao heard the words and took a deep look at Li Ping with deep eyes.

   Li Ping, who was only eight years old, saluted Ye Mao in a proper manner: “I have seen Brother Ye.”

  Although Ye Mao is of the same age as Li Ping, he is a few years older than Li Xin. The age difference between the “brothers” is too great, but he still smiled and said: “Your Highness is very kind.”

   After being polite with this “little brother”, Ye Mao looked left and right and whispered to Li Xin, “Uncle… You came out with the prince, did you take some risks…?”

   “It’s not that he didn’t bring his own guards, there’s no risk whatsoever.”

   Li Xin smiled heartily: “If someone can kill me, the rest of their orphans and widows will be useless. If someone kills my son, hehe…”

   Hearing Li Xin’s laughter, Ye Mao couldn’t help shivering. He stepped aside and said to Li Xin, “My nephew has already prepared the food and drink in Yejiazhuang, and I asked my uncle to move.”

  Li Xin nodded and walked in the front holding Li Ping’s hand.

After taking two steps, he looked back at Ye Mao and said softly, “Now Senior Brother Ye has gone to the north, and the situation there has gradually stabilized, so you have a choice. After you recover from your injury, do you want to Go back to Jizhou, or stay in the capital?”

  Ye Mao bowed his head slightly: “What does Uncle Master mean?”

   “If you want me to say, you’d better stay in the capital.”

   Li Xin chuckled and said, “There are still about 100,000 Imperial Guards in the capital that can be handed over to you. With you here, the pressure on me will be less.”

  Ye Mao was silent for a while, then opened his mouth and said: “Uncle, my army of 100,000 people in the north of town died at the hands of the Xianbei people. Back then, uncle promised me, and will give me a chance to avenge one day.”

   That year, the Jimen Gate was too tragic to defend the city, so that even now, Ye Mao is still obsessed with this hatred.

  Li Xin smiled dumbly: “Now the soldiers and horses of Jizhou, together with the four Zhechong residences brought by He Xiong, can gather 100,000 people?”

   “Now let you go out. With these people, which Xianbei Ministry can you beat?”

Li Xin said with a smile: “After you recover from your injury, you will stay in the capital for a while, and by the way, you will also learn firearms in my magic machine camp. After another year or two, I can give you the magic machine. Some people from the camp are dispatched to let you go outside the gate to be ashamed, how about that?”

   Ye Guogong smiled.

   “Then it’s settled, but my nephew doesn’t need to bring any forbidden troops when he goes to the capital, he just goes to the Shenji camp to be a captain.”

   In the last chapter, many people said water… In fact, writing that kind of chapter is not as labor-saving as writing ordinary chapters, and even more laborious. This book is about to be finished, so I want to write as flesh and blood as possible…
