Chapter 207 The Power of Words
These few words can be said to be the peak level of Li Xin's own speech.
Li Xin's simple answer not only picked the seventh prince out, but also got picked out himself.
This is the most perfect answer that Li Xin can think of at the moment.
If he hadn't been doing marketing in his previous life and had to rely on his words to make a living, he probably wouldn't be able to say these words so smoothly.
What's more important is the last sentence.
In the eyes of Emperor Chengde, although Li Xin had conflicts with the Marquis of Pingnan, he was the blood of the Li family after all, and it was still unknown whether he should trust him. But now, Li Xin has taken the initiative to upgrade this relationship to the level of "hatred", and Li Xin has taken action for this hatred, which has made Emperor Chengde's trust in Li Xin a little more.
After all, if Li Xin was determined to overthrow the Pingnan Marquis Mansion, then he would stand on the same front as Emperor Chengde.
His Majesty the Emperor looked at Li Xin kneeling on the ground quietly and narrowed his eyes slightly: "You said you want to use the remnants of Southern Shu to deal with the Pingnan Army. Let's talk about it, how to deal with the Pingnan Army?"
Li Xin lowered his head and said in a deep voice: "Go back to Your Majesty, so far, I do not have a specific constitution, but the leader of Southern Shu Li Xing is also very dissatisfied with the Marquis of Pingnan. This matter can be used. When Your Majesty really wants to attack Southern Xinjiang in the future, this line will be useful. If the two Li families can turn against each other, it will be easy to take back Shu County."
Speaking of this, Li Xin lowered his head and continued: "Even if these two families cannot be turned against each other, as long as there are some gaps between them, the difficulty of taking action in the future will be greatly reduced."
Emperor Chengde sneered: "These two families will live if they are united, and they will die if they are divided. In this issue of life and death, they will not go against each other."
Li Xin looked up at the emperor and his voice lowered: "Your Majesty, when I was kidnapped by the remnants of Southern Shu that day, no one from the Pingnan Army was seen by me. When I came back at night, Cheng Ping, the deputy general of the Pingnan Army, still seemed to be unaware of it. However, Li Yan could clearly know that I had gone to see Li Xing, which means that the Pingnan Marquis Mansion buried people beside Li Xing."
"It also shows that both families are guarding each other and are not completely united."
"Besides, as far as I know, when Li Zhijie, the Marquis of Pingnan, killed the royal family of the Southern Shu, which was an indelible revenge. It was impossible to expose the past just by exposing it."
Emperor Chengde frowned and thought for a moment, and finally showed a faint smile: "I have to say that your mouth is very powerful, and I have been convinced by you again."
"Get up and talk."
Li Xin stood up and bent over to Emperor Chengde and said, "Your Majesty, if you want to separate these two families, I need some capital. If the Li family in Nanshu is willing to surrender to the Great Jin Dynasty, what kind of benefits can your Majesty... give?"
Emperor Chengde smiled on his face: "I can give the Li family in Nanshu a hereditary Duke."
Zhuxia only has one good and fine tradition, that is, the rise and fall of the destruction and succession.
In Li Xin's world, during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, there was no such thing as destruction. Even if a country was destroyed, the victor would support a royal family to inherit the country again, and would even help him rebuild the state.
Although this fine tradition gradually disappeared later, it did not disappear completely. For example, for the monarch who fell down, they would still give titles such as princes and princes on the surface and try to treat them as much as possible.
This tradition is the same in this world, except that when the Southern Shu destroyed the country, the form of southern Xinjiang was relatively complicated. The royal family in Southern Shu was killed by Li Zhijie in one breath. Only King Min and his group escaped and failed to get any preferential treatment in the Great Jin Dynasty.
Therefore, the duke given by Emperor Chengde is not very surprising.
After the Emperor said this, he added lightly: "But I have my conditions."
When discussing cooperation, both parties will naturally benefit, and Emperor Chengde is still clear about this.
Li Xin lowered his head and said, "Your Majesty, please tell me."
His Majesty the Emperor narrowed his eyes and smiled: "I don't need a Nanshu Li family with good hands and feet. The Li family can go to the capital to be the Duke of the country, but the power in the Li family now must be handed over to me."
Li Xin took a deep breath and smiled bitterly: "Those Shu people are quite stubborn and only recognize the Southern Shu royal family, so they may not be able to serve my Great Jin."
"Then let them die."
Emperor Chengde's voice was cold: "If you don't die, you can't continue to talk about this."
Li Xin took a deep breath and bent over and said, "I understand."
As he said that, Li Xin was about to bend down and leave.
Emperor Chengde looked at Li Xin leisurely and laughed: "Putting aside the matter in southern Xinjiang, I heard that you took your two lieutenant camps in the north and killed a lot of the remnants of the remnants of the remnants of Zhou?"
Ye Ming asked Yu Linwei for the letter of request for merit. Many people came to the capital before Li Xin. After all, the messenger did not need to march, so he naturally had much faster speed.
For the Great Jin Dynasty, Southern Shu can be regarded as the Han court. As long as the royal family in Southern Shu is willing to kowtow and admit defeat, Emperor Chengde does not mind giving them wealth and honor for one or two generations. However, the Northern Zhou Dynasty is different. The Yuwen family of Northern Zhou is not a Han family, so the remnant Zhou can only be the mortal enemy of the Great Jin Dynasty forever.
Li Xin sighed lightly and bent over and said, "It's all cultivated by Your Majesty, I'm ashamed."
Emperor Chengde laughed and said, "I have to cultivate you, and you must be a craftsman. Ye Ming's letter of invitation said, "You killed three of you with your own hands, right?"
"The subordinate is lucky"
Emperor Chengde stood up from the imperial table, walked to Li Xin, and laughed and said, "It is already amazing to have this level in the first battle formation. You are a capable young man. You are a good boy who works in the court. Your future achievements will be limitless, at least you will not be worse than Li Shen."
Speaking of this, the emperor of the Ji family said calmly: "I have heard from Lao Qi that what you had experienced when you were a child. That person did something wrong. I have sent someone to Yongzhou to build a tomb for your mother, and then let the local government correct her reputation. I cannot let her be underground after her death and suffer grievances."
Li Xin knelt on the ground and kowtowed.
"Your Majesty is kind to you, I am grateful to you in the five inner world!"
"I am on behalf of my mother, thank you for your Majesty."
This sentence is sincere.
It has been half a year since Li Xin came to this world. After more than half a year of dreaming about midnight, Li Xin and the other Li Xin have long been inseparable from each other. He also regards the poor woman in the countryside of Yongzhou as his mother.
It’s pitiful that after my mother died of illness, she only had a thin coffin, but it was bought by my uncle who spent half his life savings. After being buried, there was only a small mound of soil in the mountains, not even a tombstone.
After Li Xin had "saves" in the capital, he once thought about going back to Yongzhou to repair his mother's grave, but he still couldn't explain who his father was. After returning to the village, those people in his hometown might not dare to scold him in person, and they might even curse him behind his back.
After all, jealousy is dark.
It is best to let the government and the court come forward to correct the poor woman's name.
Emperor Chengde patted Li Xin on the shoulder with a smile.
"If you do things well, you will have a good identity in the future and return home in glory. You will be able to show off all the hardships you suffered in the early years."
"I obey the order..."
His Majesty the Emperor waved his hand.
"Okay, you go down."
"After going back, let the Shu man come into the palace. I want to ask him something."
Li Xin paused and then spoke respectfully.
