Prestige is a very wonderful thing, and it is often not determined by a person's final achievements.

For example, Li Xin's current "action" has in some sense surpassed his teacher Ye Sheng, but even though Ye Sheng has passed away for seven or eight years, the Ye family's status in the eyes of many people is still unparalleled.

Take He Song as an example. He is a general of Ye Ming, the eldest son of the Ye family, but he has been away from the Duke of Chen for more than ten years and has even established his own business. However, in his eyes, as long as the current Duke of Chen Ye Mao said something, he can fight with his family and his lives.

The reason for this difference is that Ye Sheng was the hero who led the Jin Dynasty to "resist the strong with the weak". He shone brightly and naturally had countless fans.

Secondly, it is because of Li Xin's lack of background, so far, few people will fight for him, except for the Southwest Army.

Seeing that He Song was so determined, Zhao Yi naturally could not say anything else. After saluting the old man, he quietly left the He family.

At this time, it was not easy to enter and exit the capital, and entering the capital was relatively simple, but it was really difficult to get out. After all, the nobles in Yonglefang now all want to leave the capital to avoid disaster, so Zhao Yi, who had already entered the capital, had no intention of going out again. He conveyed the idea of ​​He Song to Li Xin through the secret ministry, and then quietly waited for Li Xin's reply in the capital.

Just when Li Xin was trying to control the two battalions of imperial guards, the storm gradually arose in the court in the capital.

Before the Southwest Army reached the capital, no one in the capital, including the common people, thought that the imperial guards of the court would lose. After all, the Dajin had been invincible for nearly fifty years, and no one after Emperor Wu could challenge the Dajin. However, the confidence of the people in the capital was ruthlessly shattered by the Southwest Army.

First of all, the battle when Hou Jingde led his troops to attack the camp, more than 10,000 imperial guards died in a bad life. At that time, the people in the capital could be said to have underestimated the enemy. However, this time, the entire four Zhechong Prefectures and more than 100,000 Jiangnanxiang Army encircled the Southwest Army, but they were defeated one by one by the Southwest Army. It took only one day to defeat the Central Imperial Guard, which Dajin was proud of!

The war in Xiangyang City was blocked by the imperial court, but the matter happened in the capital. No matter how much the imperial court concealed the matter at home, it was impossible for the people in the city to hide it from the whole city. So after the imperial guards were defeated, the entire capital was in full swing.

What's even more terrible is that under this situation, the Xiangyang Battle hidden by the court was also somewhat unconcealed. Many people in the capital realized that Xiangyang City, the Great Jinxiong City, which had been guarded by the Zhong family army for decades, was destroyed by the Southwest Army in three days!

People are in panic!

Not only were the people in the market a little panicked, but some people in the court also began to get unable to sit still. Some people wanted to question the imperial guards, some people meant to recruit the Southwest Army, and a small number of people...

It is to negotiate with the Southwest Army.

The purpose of the Southwest Army was to let the sixth prince Ji Ying enter Beijing to succeed the throne, and these secret thoughts of these proposals to negotiate with the Southwest Army were a bit intriguing.

In Weiyang Palace, even the prime ministers couldn't sit still. They were in charge of the houses of Shangshu Deck and bowed to the blood-covered emperor, "Your Majesty, now the government and the people in the capital are in panic. The court must deal with it, otherwise if this continues, I may cause trouble..."

The emperor had not closed his eyes for several days. He was closing his eyes to rest. After hearing the words of Fangziwei, he opened his eyes tiredly and said, "How much food is left in the capital?"

The room sounds are low.

"In the past few months, all the grain warehouses in the capital were sent to the capital and handed over to the Ministry of Revenue. Overall, it was quite abundant and could support the entire capital to eat for more than a year."

“It’s good to have food.”

The emperor said weakly: "I will send Qianniuwei to take care of these grains. At the same time, the Ministry of Revenue will also send people to watch the major grain shops in the capital. No matter who it is, they will not take the opportunity to raise the grain prices and make money. However, if they find it, they will all be sent to the Jingzhao Prefecture Prison and strictly implement it."

Whether it is governing the country or governing the city, if you want to stabilize the people, the most important thing is to stabilize the food price. If the food price is stable, people's hearts will not be in chaos.

This principle was learned from Li Xin in the Jing'an Marquis' Mansion when he was the crown prince. Who would have thought that it would be used in a short while?

Fang Zi and others nodded, and then the Fang Xiang hesitated for a while and said, "Your Majesty, in addition to this, the court should make some adjustments to the imperial guards, otherwise someone will still make trouble with this..."

"Adjust the Imperial Guard?"

The emperor opened his eyes and asked lightly: "How to adjust?"

Fang Zi took a deep breath and gritted his teeth and said, "Your Majesty, although Old General Zhong is a pillar of the court, he is old and has not enough energy. At this time, the imperial guards were defeated one after another. The court always had to express his opinion. The result of my discussion with several prime ministers is... temporarily replacing Old General Zhong..."

"Swap the Zan Xuantong?"

The emperor looked at the prime ministers at the Shangshu Deck coldly, with a blank expression on his face: "What do you mean is, who will be the general of this imperial guard?"

"No matter who you change, you can't use the old general anymore."

The house exhaled a slight breath and said with a wry smile: "Otherwise, no matter what the people will say, even the court will be in chaos. Your Majesty has no idea. Since the last defeat, officials of all sizes and big cities in the capital have also begun to discuss it. Many people have written letters to complain about illness and hid in their own homes and cannot come out..."

"Send a letter to tell me about illness..."

The emperor sneered: "What is the case of ill? It is nothing more than expressing his opinion to the thieves outside the city. When the thieves enter Beijing, those who are ill at home will kneel in front of these thieves as soon as possible!"

"Tell them that I will not change generals. There is no other person in the capital except the old general who has the ability to take charge of the imperial guards. If I don't need the old general, can I use him Pei Jin?"

Speaking of this, the emperor had no expression on his face.

"The capital city has sufficient food. I have ordered the firearms to be used as a prison guard to make night and night. With thunder, these southwest rebels will never be able to attack the capital city. Now it is just a matter of who can consume more."

Speaking of this, the emperor coughed twice and said, "The Shangshutai planned to make a plan. I want to transfer the western army to the west and go to Beijing with the Yunzhou army to serve the king."

The house's face changed slightly.

The Western Army is an army in the western border of the Great Jin Dynasty. It has a small number of people, only about 70,000. This army is used to prevent the Tubo people in the western border. From the time of Emperor Wu to the current Yuan Zhao Dynasty, this army has never moved.

As for the Yunzhou Army, let alone...

In order to prevent the Xianbei people in the north, the court sent two armies to the north, one Zhenbei Army and the other Yunzhou Army. Now the Zhenbei Army is almost gone. If the Yunzhou Army returns to Beijing to serve the king, the entire northern part of the Jin Dynasty will be completely relaxed and allowed to be trampled by the Xianbei people.

Fang Xiang lowered his head and smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty, the Tubo in the west is already addicted to Buddhist affairs and there is no big threat. He is also intimidated with our Grand Jin. There is no problem in transferring the Western Army, but the Yunzhou Army..."

He sighed.

"The Yunzhou Army will be transferred back to the north of our Great Jin Dynasty, and there will be no defense."

There was still no expression on the emperor's face.
