Unparalleled Concubine

Grandpa Ye's only direct disciple chuckled: "When my teacher was alive, he didn't take down the capital like Lord Mu. If he had the guts of you, Mr. Mu, it's still unknown what the emperor's surname is now." number."

Mu Ying quickly waved her hands, and said with a smile: "The governor should not make fun of me, let's set off quickly, Mr. You'an will blame us for neglecting him if he doesn't see us when he arrives."

After eight or nine days of rushing, Zhao Jia had already arrived outside the city, and according to the news from there, he would be able to enter Beijing around Chenshi.

Conquering the capital by force is only the first step. What is more important is to completely control the court. Li Xin, Mu Ying and the others naturally have no problem in fighting wars, but neither of them has much experience in governing the country. Whether entering the Shangshutai will arouse the resentment of those scholars is another matter, and it may be counterproductive and have a bad effect.

Therefore, occupying the capital for ten days, Li Xin and others did not formally enter the Shangshutai, which is the center of the country, but quietly waited for Zhao Jia's arrival. For the Southwest Army Group, Zhao Jia's entry to Beijing is a very important thing .

Therefore, even Mu Ying, who has a somewhat carefree personality, rushed to the Jing'an Hou Mansion early in the morning, and wanted to go with Li Xin to meet the "conspirator" of the Southwest.

Speaking of this, the black-faced general smiled: "The governor also knows that these big-headed scholars are small-minded, and some of them hold grudges very much, so they can't offend them."

Li Xin shook his head helplessly: "It doesn't matter whether you go to meet Brother You'an or not. You speak ill of him behind his back and let him hear. Brother You'an may put you in his account book and ask you to settle the score later. .”

Mu Ying's face darkened, and she smiled embarrassingly: "If you don't tell the governor, Mr. You'an probably won't know."

If Zhao Jia was in charge of Shangshutai, theoretically speaking, he would be able to give small shoes to anyone in the Southwest Group. Even Li Xin, the governor of the Metropolitan Government, would not be as powerful as the prime minister of Shangshutai in terms of authority.

The two chatted and laughed for a while, each brought a dozen bodyguards, and rode out of the city together. After waiting for a long time at the west gate of the capital, they saw a horse team running towards them from a distance.

Zhao Jia usually goes out in a horse-drawn carriage. After all, he is not very strong enough to withstand the bumps of riding a horse. But because of the urgency of the matter this time, he rode a fast horse to Beijing. Otherwise, it would be impossible to travel from the southwest in seven or eight days Arrived in the capital.

Fortunately, Zhao Jia is not yet 40 years old this year, so he can still endure some hardships.

After the horse team approached, both Li Xin and Mu Ying went up to meet her. Mu Ying rolled her eyes and stepped forward to lead Zhao Jia's horse. Zhao Jia quickly jumped off the horse and waved her hands again and again: "General Mu can't do it."

Li Xin laughed: "Brother You'an, you should be called Lord Mu now!"

Zhao Jia was stunned for a moment, and then he came to his senses, and then smiled and said, "It seems that General Mu has a lot of luck, he has become the Duke of the court so soon."

Mu Ying felt uncomfortable being laughed at by these two people, she waved her hands and said: "Don't make fun of me as a vulgar person, I will write a letter to the imperial court later, resigning from the position of the Duke."

Zhao Jia blinked at Mu Ying, and said with a smile, "I'm afraid Mr. Mu won't let it go."

Of course Mu Ying was reluctant.

In this world, no one would give up the title of the duke of the country, besides, the title of the duke of the country is just a springboard. After a few years, the world will be turned upside down, and the duke of the country is just the beginning!

Mu Hei smiled silly and ignored Zhao Jia.

After Zhao Jia and Mu Ying made a few jokes, they politely bowed their heads to Li Xin and said, "This subordinate has met the great general. Congratulations to the great general!"

Li Xin stretched out his hand to help him up, and said with a smile: "I also congratulate Brother Youan, you can fulfill your long-cherished wish."

Li Xin pointed to the city gate behind him, and said with a smile: "Brother You'an enters this gate, and you will be the Xiangguo of the Great Jin Dynasty."

Zhao Jia bowed his head with a smile: "I don't dare to be, I can only say that I will do my best for the general."

As he spoke, he looked left and right, and then asked, "Why don't you see General Li Shuo?"

"Brother You'an seems to blame Li Shuo for being rude."

General Li smiled and said: "He, he was injured during the battle, and he has to lie down for a few more months. When he recovers from his injuries, let him make up for Brother Youan's welcome."

Zhao Jia smiled wryly again and again.

"I'm just worried about what happened to General Li. Don't make fun of me, General."

Chapter 1127 Unrestricted Again

The arrival of Zhao Jia relieved a lot of pressure on Li Xin. After all, only scholars know how to deal with scholars. With Zhao Jia, a scholar at Shangshutai, Li Xin no longer has to worry about how to deal with the civil servants in the court.

As for whether Zhao Jia has enough ability to control Shangshutai, it is already obvious.

Zhao Jia followed Li Xin to the southwest for the first time in the second year of Taikang. After more than ten years, most of the time was in the southwest. The entire 31 state capitals in the southwest are under his control. This is a serious official in frontiers.

The 31 prefectures in the southwest have been managed by Zhao Jia in an orderly manner these years. Under such circumstances, Zhao Jia still has spare energy, which is enough to show his talent.

You must know that the civil officials in this world are not the same as those of later generations. If future generations want to enter the center, they must have some experience in governing the region. However, in this era, Beijing officials and civil officials can sometimes be understood as two systems. , once sent out to serve as a local official, it is very likely that he will be the head of the border, and he will not have the opportunity to enter the central government.

And some officials in the capital can become prime ministers all the way from Hanlin without leaving the capital.

When this kind of Beijing official climbs to the position of the prime minister and is able to dominate the world, most of them have no major problems with their abilities and minds, but they will take things for granted when they do things, because they cannot see, or It is the person who has never seen the bottom, what does it look like.

In comparison, Zhao Jia has a lot to do in this area. He has been a county magistrate, has been in the southwest for more than ten years, and has the experience of being an official in the frontier. Many things in Shangshutai are nothing to him. It comes at your fingertips, basically not too difficult.

However, for the position of prime minister, Zhao Jia is still too young at the age of less than 40, so Li Xin did not directly put him in the position of Shangshu Zuopushe, but only let him serve as the right servant in Shangshutai, giving the house Weibo. Be a "deputy" for a while.

However, it is foreseeable that no matter what position Zhao Jia holds in Shangshutai, he must be the one with the loudest voice among the prime ministers in Shangshutai.

Zhao Jia rested in the capital for two days, and then officially reported to Shangshutai with the imperial edict. At the same time, General Li, who had been tense for half a month, was finally able to relax a little and slept at home for a while. Sleeping late, I didn't get up from the bed until it was three poles in the sun.

It was already November in the fifth year of Yuanzhao, and the weather outside was getting colder and colder. Li Xin got up and put on a robe. to the Hou Mansion.

At this time, Li Xin's identity was different from his previous one. When he was just the Marquis of Jing'an, he could wander around the capital alone. No one would deliberately try to kill him, but now It was a bit different, if Li Xin dared to walk alone on the street at this moment, he would probably be dead on the street within an hour.

Because at this time in the capital, too many people wanted to kill him.

The deposed King Huai thought, the clan members of the Ji family thought, and even the new emperor on the throne would most likely want to kill him in his heart.

Many civil and military ministers in the DPRK were also anxious about Li Xin's sudden sudden death one day.

So when Li Xin went out at this time, the ostentation was much bigger than before. Not only were there twenty or thirty personal guards on the bright side to protect him, but the dark side was also secretly protecting their lord.

Zhao Yi, who has nothing to do, also stays with his Li Xin and chats with his godfather.

In this way, a group of people surrounded Li Xin and came to Qinhuaifang in the south of the city. When passing by Deyilou, Li Xin stopped to look at the No. [-] brothel on the Qinhuai River, and turned to Zhao Yi He smiled and said: "It's a pity that your father is the prime minister now, and it's not convenient for you to go in in broad daylight, otherwise I can make the decision and let you go in and meet the charm of the girls in the capital."

Zhao Yi is only [-] or [-] years old this year. Although the wealthy families are relatively precocious, he is indeed still a fledgling child. After hearing Li Xin's words, he raised his head and glanced at Deyilou, feeling a little embarrassed.

"If I had known that foster father was coming here, I wouldn't have followed her..."

A smile appeared on Li Xin's face: "I used to open this place, but later I broke up with the court, and the property was taken back by the court. I don't know who is running it now."

"In a few days, I will ask someone to take this property back."

He looked at Zhao Yi, who was only a head shorter than himself, and smiled playfully: "This time you have made a lot of contributions to Beijing, and I will make a sign for you later, so that you can go in without spending money."

Zhao Yi's eyes lit up, and he said, "Really?"

Young people, how can there be no love for spring?

Li Xin reached out and patted the kid on the shoulder, he said with a smile: "Of course it's true, as long as you're not afraid of being beaten by your father."

Having said that, Li Xin paused for a moment, and then continued: "But there is one thing I want to tell you. In the future, you should stop being in close contact with Anbu, learn more from your father, and take the exam in two years. It is the right way for Jinshi to enter the court and become an official, and you still need to inherit your father's family business."

Zhao Yi chuckled: "I still have brothers in my family who can go to study, and my father doesn't want me to inherit the family business. He wants me to marry sister Ah Han and join my godfather's family."
