Of course it is impossible to end here.

Since this butcher knife has been raised high, it is impossible to put it down gently. Otherwise, it will not only make others feel that Li Xin is weak and can be bullied, but will also make more different voices within the Southwest Group.

The reason why Zhao Jia and other "three giants in the southwest" dared to push Li Xin to this point was because they were sure of this. They knew very well that it was already very difficult for Li Xin to block the will of the entire Southwest Group alone. It would be fine if the Ji family was honest. Once the Ji family was killed, the killing knife would not be able to stop.

Li Xin held his wife's hand and said silently: "Madam, no one in this world kills me, I can't kill people. I'm a son-in-law of the Ji family, but the Southwest Army is not the Ji family's son-in-law. They have been in Beijing for half a year and have not committed any crimes against the capital. So far, no Ji family has died at the hands of the Southwest Army for no reason."

Li Xin said silently: "No force will be like this after entering the capital. Even if the royal family of the Ji family rebelled and successfully entered the capital, they would also use a knife to kill people, and they would kill many people. I can do this... I have taken a lot of pressure."

If the Southwest Army was led by Li Xin himself, all the generals and officials in the army were promoted by him. It would be okay if the pressure was greater. However, since the Taikang period, Li Xin had "remote control" the Southwest Army. At the beginning, he used the Mu family to remotely control the Hanzhou Army. When the Southwest Army was completely formed, Li Xin built a situation where Zhao Jia was used as the strategic commander, Mu Ying and Li Shuo checked and balanced each other, and used firearms to control the overall situation behind the scenes.

The superstructure used to control the Southwest is quite stable, so stable that as long as Li Xin does not stand opposite to the collective interests of the Southwest Group, he will always be the master of the Southwest Group.

The current contradiction is that Li Xin, or the Li family ascended the throne, is the greatest interest of the Southwest Group. Under this interest relationship, it is inevitable that Li Xin and his son ascended the throne. As a result, Li Xin himself could not control it. The greatest effort he could do was to take a compromise method and try to change his surname to Ji Ping, a son with half of the blood of the Ji family, to become Ji Ping, and ascend to the throne.

In this way, Li Xin can give an explanation to Southwest Group and does not have to kill his wife's family. Although doing so will cause dissatisfaction within Southwest Group, Li Xin can withstand this level of dissatisfaction alone.

But... the Ji family took action against Li Xin and his son in such a tense situation.

Although this action did not cause any actual harm to Li Xin, and was even done under the deliberate indulgence of Zhao Jia and others, it was done.

The Ji family wants Li Xin and his son to die!

In this way, Li Xin must react.

Of course, facing the Ninth Princess, Li Xin could only tell him that the Ji family wanted to kill their father and son, and that they could not mention this matter to the Ninth Princess with Zhao Jia and others. Otherwise, even if the Ninth Princess has a good temper, she would definitely settle accounts with Zhao Jia and others. Li Xin would not be able to deal with it by then.

Even so, the actions of Zhao Jia and others still made Li Xin a little angry. He could understand what these senior leaders of the Southwest Army were thinking and their demands. However, no matter what happened, they could sit down and discuss it. Such direct "dead first and then report" and even fuel the fire was clearly a self-decision, and there was even a "yellow robe" smell.

You know, in addition to the allusion of wearing a yellow robe, Zhao Taizu also left another famous allusion.

The Ninth Princess also grew up in the capital. She naturally knew the cruelty of political struggles and knew that Li Xin had made a lot of efforts for herself. After hearing Li Xin's words, the princess of the Ji family remained silent for a long time. Finally, she looked up at her husband and sighed silently: "Everyone in the world is the same, and they will think about her own family. At this point, your subordinates in the southwest may not be much better than my seventh brother..."

After hearing the Ninth Princess's words, Li Xin was silent for a long time and finally said silently: "What Madam is saying."

"The only difference is that most of the initiative is still in our hands, and no one can harm our family's lives."

The Ninth Princess's eyes were slightly red, she let go of Li Xin's hand and whispered: "You are too thoughtful, Brother Seven may not be able to attack our family. Yan'er grew up with us since childhood, and may not be able to attack our family..."

After saying this, she turned around and left, leaving only Li Xin with a back view.

"At this point, I can't change anything you want to do. I just hope you have a clear conscience..."

After saying that, she led Chen Shiliu's wife Hui Niang to walk away slowly.

Li Xin looked at the back of the Ninth Princess and remained silent for a long time.

Finally he muttered to himself.

"The things in this world are bad, but the word "may not necessarily". I believe it is too difficult."

"If there is no Master Ye's first lesson, if the Yulin Guard can still guard the Forbidden Palace, if I have not offended so many people in Taikang Dynasty, if the little kid who grew up with us can listen to my words..."

"If he didn't send Yulin Guard to kill me..."

Speaking of this, Li Xin shook his head slightly: "Mrs. What a good thing is that people always think about their own family, and I am no exception."

After saying that, he sighed slightly and walked towards the imperial city with his hands behind his back.

There was a long way to go to Yong'anmen with Jingzhao Mansion Prison. Li Xin did not ride a horse or take a carriage along the way, so he walked over. When he reached the vicinity of Yong'anmen, the general of Shenwu Guard, who had a pale face, immediately knelt in front of Li Xin and kowtowed to Li Xin and said, "Brother, I..."

He paused and gritted his teeth and said, "Although Zhao Xiang called me and General Mu to inform him that day, I only thought that the Ji family was going to have some trouble. I never thought that they would assassinate their brother and prince, I..."

He lowered his head again, his voice trembling: "I have no other thoughts on my brother."

Among the three giants in the southwest, Li Shuo is different from the other two.

Originally, he did not belong to the Southwest Army, but was forcibly integrated by Li Xin. Since then, his positioning in the Southwest Army is apparently the remnant of the Pingnan Army back then, but in fact, as Li Xin's brother, he is the spokesperson of Li Xin's Southwest Army and an important force used by Li Xin to check and balance the Mu family.

Anyone in the Southwest Army can have his own little thoughts, but Li Shuo cannot.

Li Xin looked at Li Shuo kneeling on the ground with a blank expression.

"So you are so stupid. I thought you three were going to unite and force me to be warded off!"

Li Shuo's face was pale, and he knelt down on Li Xin's face, bowed and said, "Brother, I do have the intention of asking my brother to attack the Ji family, but if I know that it may hurt my brother or the prince, I will definitely arrest the Ji family immediately that day. Even if I use the knife with General Mu and the others, I will do whatever I can!"

"Brother and the prince... are the foundation of my younger brother. Without my older brother, I am just a rootless duckweed, at the mercy of others..."

Li Xin carried his hands on his back and looked at Li Shuo coldly.

"People have their own ideas. I don't blame you for doing this."

"But before doing things, you have to think about whether it will hurt your relationship."
