Chapter One Hundred and Sixty-Five Ender's Law
During the whole incident, the Sixth Prince was actually very innocent when he participated. He was pulled in by Li Xin because of his identity, and did not make any actions that were unfavorable to Li Xin.
Of course, he has no ability to do it either.
Li Xin has a clear relationship with grudges and will not kill the Sixth Prince for no reason. As long as the new emperor is honest and obedient enough, Li Xin will definitely give him a way out in the future.
After arranging the sixth prince to move into Weiyang Palace, Li Xin arranged a team of soldiers from the Hanzhou Army in Weiyang Palace, and arranged some of his own personal guards to protect the entire Weiyang Palace.
At this moment, you can't resist any mistakes.
After all this was arranged, Li Xin discussed with Mu Ying and Li Shuo about the deployment of the capital and the process of taking over the imperial guards.
To take over the imperial guards, only an imperial edict from the court is needed, which is not troublesome for Li Xin, who controls the court. The difficulty is how to divide the cake of imperial guards to stabilize the situation in the capital.
The Southwest Army already had enough force, so there was no need to eat the entire imperial guard in one bite. After all, He Song and Hou Jingde made great contributions to being able to successfully capture the capital this time. They were originally generals of the left and right battalions, but they had taken the imperial guard's military power from them.
If someone else makes the right bet, it is not enough to mention how much dividends he can get. He can't collect other people's principal, right?
After thinking about it, the temporary solution was to let He Song and Hou Jingde still control the imperial guards, and at the same time increase their ranks, and then send generals from the Southwest Army to enter the imperial guards and control some Zhechong Mansions. In this way, although the Southwest Army does not fully control the imperial guards, it can control the situation.
Moreover, after taking control of the court, Li Xin could not focus entirely on the Southwest Army. Although the Southwest Army had made great contributions and had to give rewards that should be given, it could not allow the Southwest Army to dominate the court, and all parties could check and balance each other. The original forces of the court, such as the court, He Shenghou Jingde, are a good focus.
These things specifically involve a commander of the Imperial Army or even the captain. It takes a long time to arrange the running-in to clearly divide the cake. Moreover, Zhao Jia, one of the three giants in the southwest, is still on the way to the capital, and everything has to be completely settled after Zhao Jia comes.
Although he had only discussed a general framework, it was already dark after saying these things. Li Xin and Li Shuo were injured, and were taken back to the Jing'an Marquis Mansion to recover from the wounds. Mu Ying was "on duty" in the imperial city and was always on guard against emergencies in the capital.
When Li Xin returned to Jing'an Marquis' Mansion with a discount, he had been in the middle of the sky for almost a month.
The servants of the Marquis' Mansion came forward to report and bowed respectfully to Li Xin: "Mr. Marquis Ye is asking for a meeting. I have been waiting for you at home for a long time."
Li Xin frowned slightly: "Senior Brother Ye is here, why don't you inform me of the palace?"
The servant said in a panic: "Mr. Marquis Ye said not to disturb Marquis, you are doing things, so the villain did not dare..."
Li Xin shook his head and no longer paid attention to this servant, but walked towards the living room of the Jing'an Marquis Mansion.
At this time, the Ye family was in a very awkward position.
The Ye family did not contribute, or did not contribute directly during this incident. After all, He Song could only be considered half of the Ye family, and had already escaped from the Ye family.
After this incident, the top level of the court will definitely carry out a power reshuffle. At that time, whether it is Zhong Xuantong, He Xiang, or several "giants" in the southwest, they will become powerful people in the new dynasty, and even become generals with great martial arts in the new dynasty.
Of course, where the Ye family will eventually be in the Xin Dynasty depends on Li Xin’s attitude.
Soon, Li Xin arrived at the gate of the Marquis of Jing'an. It was already midnight. Ye Lin, dressed in purple, sat quietly in the main hall. After seeing Li Xin coming, the Minister of War took a deep breath, got up and bowed slightly to Li Xin, and bowed, "I have seen the general."
Li Xin's position as the "Southwest General" was actually a self-proclaimed person. However, since the Southwest Army has entered the capital, even if his position as the General is confirmed, he will inevitably feel a little harsh when he hears Ye Lin shouting this title.
Li Xin shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Why are senior brother so distant? I really have a lot of things to be busy with today. I didn't come back until I came back. I'm definitely not hiding from the senior brother."
Ye Lin shook his head slightly, looked up at Li Xin, and whispered: "Now you and I have different identities. It's better to be more rigorous."
Li Xin was stunned for a moment before he understood what Ye Lin was saying. He immediately smiled bitterly: "Senior brother, don't talk nonsense. The Sixth Prince will ascend the throne in a few days, not me."
"It's just a matter of time."
Ye Lin's face was calm: "Everyone in the capital can see clearly that the new emperor can't sit on the throne for too long."
He looked at Li Xin and said slowly: "As sooner or later, you will sit in that position. Even if you don't sit, your Southwest Army will push you up."
General Li frowned slightly, and then said, "These things are things that will happen in the future, so I won't mention them for now."
"Now my idea is to stabilize the situation in the capital as soon as possible and calm the panic caused by the war, and... "
Speaking of this, Li Xin took a deep breath and said slowly: "The Southwest Army has been expeditioning east for several months. The Xianbei tribe in the northern border cannot be unaware. Most of them are ready to move and even start to make some moves. However, at this time, the Yunzhou army evacuated Yunzhou. Zhong Xuantong has not given me a clear answer yet. If the Xianbei people go south, Ye Mao alone may not be able to withstand it."
Ye Lin lowered his eyebrows slightly: "I came to see the general because of this."
"Ye Mao sent me a letter from home, saying that he had organized about 50,000 troops in northern Xinjiang to prevent the Xianbei people going south in the Yancheng area of Jizhou."
Ye Lin frowned: "These 50,000 people are very different from the well-trained Zhenbei Army. I'm afraid that even any Yuwen Department can't stop it. Ye Mao is a dead man. He didn't catch up with the last Jimen Pass battle. This time he might really die in Jizhou..."
Li Xin also frowned slightly.
"I have talked to Old Man Zong that as long as the Yunzhou army returns to Yunzhou at this time, there will be no major problems in the northern border, but these family members of Zhuang..."
Speaking of this, Li Xin felt anger in his heart and groaned: "What a silence to the country!"
Ye Lin stood up, clasped his fists at Li Xin and said, "Chang'an, no matter when you become emperor, the northern border is half of the country, and it is also the lifelong hard work of his father and brother, and he can't lose it."
General Li smiled bitterly and said, "But I don't have any good solutions now. The Southwest Army will definitely not be able to move now, and the Imperial Army in the Gyeonggi is not very easy to move. Apart from that, I really couldn't think of any way to support the northern border."
He looked at Ye Lin and asked, "What are the good plans for Senior Brother Ye?"
Ye Lin lowered his head slightly and whispered: "Chang'an, I want to see Zhong Xuantong."
"Of course there is no problem with this."
Li Xin took out a sign from his belt and handed it to Ye Lin's hand. He smiled and said, "This is my sign. With this sign, senior brother can be unobstructed in the capital."
Ye Lin took the sign, nodded, and continued, "If I can't persuade the old man to grow, there is only another way."
He looked up at Li Xin, his voice low.
"I want to bring a batch of firearms to support Ye Mao."
Seeing that Li Xin was silent, Ye Lin added another sentence.
