Chapter five hundred and forty-ninth the elusive emperor
Helping the "rebel army" in Hanzhou to find a legal identity is something that Li Xin must do. Only when these Hanzhou troops are no longer "rebels" can they exist openly in Hanzhou.
In other words, we must find ways to label these former Sichuan rebels as "rebels".
There are too many things to report to Li Xin in Hanzhou, so on this big night, Mu Ying was in Li Xin's room and told him about the specific affairs of Hanzhou.
Soon, the big thing passed,
The next morning was the first day of the third year of Chengkang.
In a blink of an eye, the Emperor Taikang, who relied on the palace transformation, has been in power for more than two years.
In the past two years, Li Xin has not spent much time in the capital. In addition, he has less than a year. Most of the other time he is either in Yongzhou or in the southwest, and rarely hangs around in that great Jin capital.
Take this time for example. Li Xin and Emperor Taikang have not met for nearly a whole year.
The person sitting in that position has ever changed every moment. He has not seen him for a whole year, and no one knows what the emperor is thinking now.
Li Xin, who was in the 18th year of Chengkang, was confident of grasping the thoughts of His Highness the King of Wei, but now the Marquis of Jing'an is no longer confident of grasping Emperor Taikang.
However, we still have to do what we should do. Li Xin ordered Mu Ying to sway the flag of "Supporting the King's Army" in Hanzhou, and wrote a letter on the other hand, writing in detail the current situation in the southwest in the memorial. However, in the middle of the memorial, Li Xin mentioned a sentence without any end.
"The people of Shu in Hanzhou are mostly righteous men who help the king's army to fight against rebellion."
After writing a memorial, Li Xin read it himself and immediately sent it to the capital.
The letter was sent to the capital for 600 miles.
However, before this letter arrived in the capital, Ye Ming and Ye Shaobao's memorial had arrived in the capital in advance.
Ye Ming received the news that Mianzhu had broken the city on the 26th and 7th day of the 12th lunar month. As the chief general of the Western Army, he immediately wrote the news into the memorial book and rushed to the capital for 600 miles.
It is more than 3,000 miles southwest from the capital. Even if it is 600 miles away from home, Ye Mao's letter was delivered to the capital, it was already the fifth day of the Chinese New Year.
At this moment, the first snowfall in Taikang in three years has just fallen in the capital.
The capital city is covered with white white.
It is still the day for the court to rest, so Yonglefang, which is usually very quiet, has become much lively now because there are many noble people in Yonglefang who have marriages with each other. It is the time to greet New Year's greetings, and there are often sedan chairs coming and going back and forth.
He rode a fast horse and rushed straight towards Yong'anmen.
To hit the palace gate is a serious crime. The only one who dares to hit the palace gate at the moment is the only one who dares to hit the palace gate.
The postman did not dare to break into Yong'an Gate in the end, and only stayed at the gate of Yong'an Gate. Not long after, an eunuch who looked extremely young but dressed in big red clothes reached out to take the letter from the postman.
The inner court of the Jin Dynasty had strict hierarchy regulations. Only the eighth magistrates and the fewer magistrates were qualified to wear red. In other words, this young eunuch was at least the fewer magistrates in the eighth magistrates of the inner court.
The young prisoner held the memorial and walked all the way to the gate of Weiyang Palace. He walked straight in. Finally, he stopped in the warm cabinet of Weiyang Palace and knelt down at the gate of Weiyang Palace.
"Your Majesty, the military information in the southwest."
Originally, the memorials handed over below should be read first on the Shangshutai and then sent to the emperor after screening. However, now this memorial is not required to pass through the Shangshutai, but is directly sent to the Weiyang Palace. This shows that Emperor Taikang's ability to control the court has reached another level in this year.
A peaceful voice came from the warm chalet.
“Shift in.”
This young prisoner is naturally Xiao Zheng, the popular eunuch who is now in charge of the eunuch. He held the Southwest memorial in his hand, walked into the warm pavilion with a small piece of stone, and slowly knelt down.
The emperor reached out to take the memorial from his hand, opened it and looked at it, then a smile appeared on his face.
"Chang'an really lives up to my expectations. He has only been to the southwest for a year, and he has taken 70% to 80% of the southwest."
The emperor showed visible joy on his face.
"With Mianzhu, my imperial guards can return to Beijing in one or two years at most. The capital of the capital is empty this year, and I feel a little uncomfortable."
Xiao Zheng, who was beside him, showed a flattering smile and lowered his head and said, "Your Majesty, is there a great victory in the southwest?"
"It's more than a great victory."
The emperor smiled and said, "He has already decided to win in the southwest of Chang'an, and the collapse of the Pingnan army is right in front of him."
"It won't take long to do what my father never did!"
The young eunuch Xiao knelt on the ground and prostrated himself.
"Congratulations to your Majesty."
"Your Majesty is wise and powerful, and his luck is prosperous."
"Is my luck prosperous?"
The smile on the emperor's face was restrained and he looked at Xiao Zheng faintly.
"You mean, am I lucky?"
Xiao Zheng's face suddenly changed, and he suddenly gave himself a big mouth, kowtowed and said, "Your Majesty knows people and uses them, is wise and powerful, and he has no luck at all. I am wrong, but I am wrong..."
Being with the king is like a tiger.
As the emperor, he will not give his subordinates a chance to see through himself, so almost every emperor is moody.
The emperor had no expression on his face and kept watching Xiao Zheng knocking his forehead red.
Then he said expressionlessly: "You are right. I have met Chang'an and I am indeed lucky."
"Go and call Princess Qinghe over and say I have something to do to find her."
Only then did Xiao Zheng stagger up and bowed and retreated from Weiyang Palace.
Emperor Taikang threw the memorial in his hand aside, looked at the direction of the palace gate, and looked indifferent.
...
About half an hour later, Princess Qinghe, who was still busy spending the New Year in the Marquis of Jing'an, was called into the palace by Xiao Zheng. At this time, the former Ninth Princess had been married to the Li family wife for nearly a year. Li Xin was not in the capital for this year. She, the "miss mother", was busy with the affairs of the Marquis of Jing'an. Therefore, Her Highness, was much more calmer than the former Ninth Princess.
She became more like an adult.
After entering the warmer pavilion, she saluted the emperor in a regular manner.
"I've seen Your Majesty."
The emperor was reading a book, but when he saw the Ninth Princess coming, he quickly threw the book aside, stepped forward in three or two steps, and helped the Ninth Princess up.
Emperor Taikang pretended to be angry and said, "What is your name? You must call him the emperor brother."
The eldest princess blinked at him and said with a smile: "The girl is already married, so you should naturally pay attention to her words and deeds, otherwise she will cause trouble for her husband's family if she sees and hears them."
Although the Ninth Princess was a little more regular, the two of them were brothers and sisters after all, and their relationship was much closer than others. In just two or three sentences, the Ninth Princess became playful again.
"Is there anything wrong with my brother calling me?"
“That’s right.”
The emperor smiled.
