In recent years, Li Xin has traveled around the world and moved from capital to Yongzhou with his family, and then from Yongzhou to Jincheng. Although he had never told Princess Ninth about any issues in the government, no matter what, Princess Ninth is also a princess from the royal family, and there are some clues that can be seen in any case.

During the Taikang period, when Li Xin moved to Yongzhou with his family, Princess Ninth thought there was a little conflict between her husband and the emperor, but her family lived in Yongzhou for several years. Last year, she even moved directly to Jincheng in the southwest to live, and Princess Ninth naturally saw that something was wrong.

She just didn't say it.

Now, the wife, who has been married to Li Xin for more than ten years, finally asked this question in person.

The two of them got married in the first year of Taikang. One was seventeen years old and the other was sixteen. By the time of marriage, almost fifteen years have passed since the fifth year of Yuanzhao. This year, Li Xin is thirty-two years old, and the Ninth Princess is thirty-one years old.

The two of them are together for half of their lives.

After hearing the Ninth Princess' words, Li Xin sighed slightly. He took the Ninth Princess' hand and walked into his room. After the two of them sat down, Li Xin nodded silently.

"As the times are forcing us, we are indeed at the point of rebellion."

The Ninth Princess lowered her head slightly and said slowly: "So, Brother Seven did not wrong you."

Li Xin frowned, glanced at the Ninth Princess, and smiled bitterly: "The old things back then, I can only say that my highness and Your Highness of Wei have their own thoughts. I did all the dirty and tiring work in the early years of Taikang. I offended countless people. However, in the end, our family did not get the reward they deserved. If I didn't make any more preparations, I was demoted to the bridge in the end. With your wife, you may not have any trouble, but in the future, my children will definitely suffer a great loss."

In the early years of Taikang, the emperor's throne was unstable and there was no one around him. He could only let Li Xin help him seize power. Starting from the two battalions of imperial guards, Li Xin offended Pei Jin and Pei Jin's old subordinates. Later, the emperor wanted to cut down on the generals of the lieutenant generals in the capital, and Li Xin came forward to do it, offending the generals, including the Ye family.

Li Xin also expelled the third and fourth princes from Beijing and offended the royal family.

In the six months from the first year of Taikang to the second year of Taikang, Li Xin offended countless people. At that time, he knew in his heart that once the Jing'an Marquis Mansion lost power, these people who had offended him would definitely pounce on him and ate them hard.

But at that time, Emperor Taikang, who had just ascended to the position with the Yulin Guard, began to suspicion of the Yulin Guard and even abandoned the Yulin Guard.

It was also at that time that Li Xinxin began to feel a sense of crisis, so that during the second year of the Western Expedition, he began to make arrangements in the southwest.

More than ten years have passed. Looking back on the past, it is difficult to tell who is right and who is wrong between Li Xin and Emperor Taikang. Perhaps the conflict between the two was out of misunderstanding, or perhaps not.

As Li Xin said, each has his own thoughts.

From that time on, the conflict between Li Xin and Emperor Taikang, or the royal family, was planted. Now that this seed has finally taken root and sprouted, the conflict between the two sides has become so great that it is uncontrollable.

The Ninth Princess reached out and held Li Xin's rough palm. Her eyes were a little red, and she said, "Brother Seven has left. Since the matter was not clear about it, I won't say it..."

She looked up at Li Xin, her voice a little weak.

"After so many years, no matter what you do, I have never asked you or cared about you."

"You have not been at home in the past few months. I asked Shiliu for a lot of things in the southwest. Shiliu said that the southwest is now almost the same as the Nanshu in the past..."

The Ninth Princess held Li Xin's hand and said with some pleading.

"Since that's the case, then our family will stay in the southwest for a lifetime. If we don't go to the capital, there is no need to fight with the court."

The Ninth Princess is the youngest daughter of Emperor Chengde and the serious royal family.

Li Xin's rebellion was like her husband fighting with her parents' home, and she had to fight to the end, and the Ninth Princess was the person in the middle.

Although her father and brother have already gone, only her mother is left in the capital, no matter what, she is surnamed Ji after all, and she can't bear to look at her husband and really fight to the death with her parents' family.

Li Xin took her hand and sighed slightly.

"Madam, at this point, it's not entirely up to me..."

The leader of an interest group often acts as a driving force for the interest group, not all of which are decided by him alone.

Just like Li Shen back then.

The same is true for Li Xin now. You should know that as early as the Taikang period, Zhao Jia, Mu Ying and others in the southwest tactfully mentioned to Li Xin about rebellion. Later, after Li Xin collapsed with the court, this tendency to rebel became more obvious within the southwest.

It is obvious that even Li Xin can't change it easily.

No matter what, Li Xin is still an ordinary person after all.

If the emperor who sat on the throne in the early years of Taikang could put aside his petty heart and treat Li Xin with sincerity, Li Xin would probably have been determined to work in the Ji family, a big landlord's family, and be honestly the son-in-law of the Ji family and the Marquis of Jing'an of the Jin Dynasty.

If he had a choice now, he wouldn't want to take the risk of leading troops out of Shu. As the Ninth Princess said, the southwest has become a country, and Li Xinda can proclaim himself emperor in the southwest. In recent decades, most of the great Jin Dynasty has no choice but to take the southwest. At that time, the Ji family might send envoys to officially recognize the establishment of the southwest.

However, this idea is too ideal.

The southwest is not a monolithic part.

Mu Ying's son was already the King of Shu in the southwest. In name, the southwest was under the rule of the Shu Palace. If Li Xin stayed in the southwest and became emperor, where would he place the King of Shu Palace?

Even if Mu Ying himself has no objection, what would the Mu family behind him think?

As for Zhao Jia, it was even more obvious that this Southwest Strategic Envoy had a lifelong dream of conquering the world, not conquering the southwest. What he thought was to go on stage to worship ministers and make peace to the world.

If Li Xin suddenly loses his fighting spirit and wants to establish a country in the southwest, Zhao Jia will have to give up his pick and go home to farm in at most two or three years.

As for another force, Li Shuo...

Li Shuo is silent on weekdays, but he will also have his own thoughts. If he is independent in the southwest, there will be conflicts between him and the Mu family. Moreover, Li Shuo, who has accumulated over the years, may not be smaller than Zhao Jia's ambitions.

The southwest has been preparing for leaving Shu for five or six years.

At this time, if there is no reason, Li Xin's words, they will stop and return to their own houses obediently.

The Ninth Princess's eyes were red. She wiped her tears with her sleeves, then held Li Xin's hand and didn't speak for a long time.

Li Xin patted her hand gently and said, "Madam, don't think so much. Just take care of the children in Jincheng and leave the rest to me."

The Ninth Princess reached out to wipe her tears again, her voice choked.

"If I had known today, I wouldn't have followed Brother Qi to your house for any mutton skewers."

Li Xin held her hand and smiled softly.
