Chapter 170 The conditions of the family
Li Xin has a good alcohol tolerance, especially in the past decade, who has been drinking alcohol frequently, and the young Emperor Yuan Zhao could not drink him at all. When the two of them drank until midnight, the Emperor fell to the ground and was unconscious.
In comparison, Li Xin's face was a little flushed. He got up and patted his clothes, turned around and walked towards the gate of Weiyang Palace.
At the door, Xiao Zheng, dressed in red, was still waiting with his hands down.
Li Xin glanced at him and said lightly: "The emperor is drunk, Eunuch Xiao takes care of him."
Xiao Zheng lowered his head silently. After hesitating for a while, he couldn't help it and said, "Marty, can you... give Your Majesty a way out..."
As the chief supervisor of the inner court, no one understands the cruelty of power and scheming better than Xiao Zheng. However, facing Li Xin, the eunuch who served the emperors of the Jin Dynasty still spoke for Emperor Yuan Zhao.
"You can tell the outside world that when Your Majesty is dead, you will find a small eunuch of similar size to replace it from the officials. The servant can assure the marquis that Your Majesty will never appear in the capital again in this life. In this way, you can give an explanation to your subordinates and leave a way out for your student."
Li Xin was walking out. He stopped when he heard this and glanced at Xiao Zheng: "These words should not be spoken out of your mouth by Eunuch Xiao. How can Eunuch Xiao say such stupid words after so many years?"
"Where you are changing your place, can the emperor let my family live?"
"At that time, I'm afraid there will be no more dog left in my Jing'an Marquis' Mansion."
Li Xin had a blank expression on his face: "I will only kill him. As long as the relatives in the palace are honest enough, they can stay calm and try not to move as much as possible. This is the end of kindness and righteousness."
Xiao Zheng knelt on the ground with a pounce, kowtowed to Li Xin, and cried and said, "Marty, Your Majesty is young and ignorant. You are Your Majesty's master and Your Majesty's uncle. Even if you don't look at the face of the late emperor, you have to look at the face of the eldest princess, and spare your Majesty's life..."
This eunuch in red, who is usually meticulous in his face and is known as "Xiao Lengmeng" in the capital, knelt in front of Li Xin, and burst into tears.
"Your Majesty can no longer pose any threat to the Marquis..."
"Mr. Marquis, you are merciful."
Although he was crying, his voice was not very loud. It was not because of his thin skin, but because he was afraid that Emperor Yuan Zhao of Weiyang Palace would hurt his self-esteem when he heard it.
General Li had no expression on his face: "There was no need to say these words to you, but you and I are old friends, so I will say a few words to you."
"If Eunuch Xiao said, it is not difficult to save the emperor's life now. Just find someone to replace him. But Eunuch Xiao, how can you guarantee that after the emperor escapes from this chaos, he can be his commoner with peace of mind?"
"If he had a solid personality, how could he be like this in the world of Jin Dynasty?"
"As his identity, with a wave of his arms, he can easily gather an army out."
"You are here to bear these risks, Eunuch Xiao?"
Li Xin had a blank expression on his face: "You Xiao Zheng can't afford it."
After saying this, Li Xin turned around indifferently: "Li Xin's words are all here. I can guarantee one thing that Your Majesty's funeral will still be the etiquette of the emperor."
Under the moonlight, Li Xin walked down the entire eighty-one steps of Weiyang Palace, gradually moving away.
Xiao Zheng knelt on the ground, looked up at Li Xin's back as he left, and was speechless for a long time.
At this time, the moonlight shone on the platform of Weiyang Palace. Emperor Yuan Zhao, who had already fainted from drinking, had stood behind Xiao Zheng at some point, with a blank expression on his face.
………………………………………
It was soon the next morning.
As soon as the hour of Mao arrived, more than 70% of the ministers in the court gathered in front of the palace gate, waiting to enter the Weiyang Palace to worship the emperor.
At this time, Li Xin, who had not slept all night, stood on the city tower of Yong'anmen Gate with Mu Ying, looking at the crowd of Zhu Zi under the city.
Mu Ying showed a sarcastic look on her face.
"These civil servants have changed their faces so quickly. A few days ago, they just called us traitors. Today, they can't wait to enter the palace to worship the new king."
Li Xin rubbed his temples and said, "Are you ready on the Sixth Prince?"
"Don't worry, General, you're ready."
Mu Ying grinned and said, "According to the general's wishes, his subordinates arranged the sixth prince in Changle Palace. Later, when Chen was in Chen, they asked all officials to go to Changle Palace to welcome the sixth prince to Weiyang Palace, and then received the national seal in Weiyang Palace. Finally, they went to the Taimiao to worship the ancestors, and then set up an altar to worship the heavens. Today's matter will be done."
"Now, our people are all inside and outside the imperial city. Even the eunuchs and subordinates have not let them come out, so there is no possibility of anything wrong."
Li Xin nodded.
“Just arrange it.”
"After today's work is over, the Hanzhou Army will take over the garrison in the palace for the time being, but one thing should be remembered is not to harass the female family in the palace. If there are any troubles, they will be killed directly."
"Don't worry, General."
Mu Ying patted her chest and said, "Today, everyone in the palace is the elite of the Hanzhou Army. Orders are prohibited. If anyone does something ugly, he will lose face of the Hanzhou Army, and his subordinates will strip him alive!"
"There is another problem with the Shangshutai."
Li Xin said slowly: "Although there is a change in the capital, state affairs should not be abandoned. The remaining three prime ministers at the Shangshutai will not be used for the time being. They cannot make things difficult for them. After Zhao Jia enters the capital to take charge of the Shangshutai, he will be reorganized before he can go to the next stage."
The two of them stood on the Yong'an Gate Tower and discussed the specific details. It was almost time for Chen Shi. With Li Xin's big hand, the palace gate of Yong'an Gate slowly opened, and a group of civil and military officials rushed into the imperial city.
Li Xin was about to leave Yong'anmen and go to Changle Palace to preside over the overall situation. Suddenly, he saw a familiar voice outside Yong'anmen and hurried towards Yong'anmen.
Li Xin turned around and spoke to Mu Ying, "Brother Mu will go to the palace to maintain order for the time being, organize all officials to welcome the emperor. I will go to see someone and will arrive later."
Mu Ying also saw the figure of the man, knew what Li Xin meant, and immediately nodded and said, "General, don't worry, we have already calculated what happened today several times in the past few days, and there will be no mistakes."
"Subsidiary wait for the general in Weiyang Palace for a while."
Li Xin nodded silently and walked down Yong'anmen with twenty or thirty personal guards.
Outside Yong'an Gate, Ye Lin, the Minister of War, who was only wearing a regular suit and had a little hair, was walking towards Yong'an Gate. Before he could reach Yong'an Gate, Li Xin had already appeared in front of him and bowed slightly to him: "Senior Brother Ye is finally here."
Li Xin's eyes were a little eager: "How is the matter with Zhongjia?"
Ye Lin's eyes were covered with bloodshots, and his voice was a little hoarse: "Old man Zhong said that if the Ji family was gone, it would be difficult for the Zhong family to survive. He asked you to guarantee that you would not settle the accounts with the Zhong family..."
"I advised him for two days before I asked the old man to tell him the conditions."
Speaking of this, Ye Lin paused and continued, "What this guy means is to let Chang'an marry another woman from the Zong family as his concubine. The Zongwu army immediately returns to Yunzhou, and it is still the border army of the Great Jin..."
Ye Lin gasped and continued without waiting for Li Xin to speak, "There is another...that's another."
"Ye Mao has written a letter."
This Ye Shangshu's voice was a little bitter.
"The Yuwen Department in northern Xinjiang has begun to use small troops to harass the border..."
