Chapter 161 The Empress
Li Shuo's progress was so smooth, which was beyond Li Xin's expectations. In his opinion, even if the Pingnan Army had only left the remnants, they would most likely look down on the Hanzhou Army. After all, they only had 10,000 people before, and the 50,000 people in Hanzhou were able to be tightly watched by the soldiers of the Pingnan Army. In their hearts, the soldiers of the Pingnan Army would not be convinced by the remnants of the Southern Shu.
Originally, Li Xin thought that it would take someone to take a few Tianlei to the Pingnan Army to blow it up before this matter could be done.
But Li Shuo's ability was beyond his expectations, and this matter went surprisingly smoothly.
Thinking of this, he said to Li Shuo, "The specific regulations will be made, Zhao Jia will be able to make it in the next few days. You can say what difficulties you have on your side, and work together to get things done."
Li Shuo lowered his head and said, "Brother, I want some food."
"There was no food storage last winter. Since the beginning of spring this year, many people have begun to starve to death. Now they are in urgent need of food."
Only then did Li Xin understand why Li Shuo was so anxious to find a way out for the Pingnan Army. It turned out that they had reached the point where they could not live.
"No problem. You go and ask Zhao Jia in a while. He will coordinate the Southwest to adjust now and can get you food."
As he said that, Li Xin lowered his head and thought for a while, then said, "There is no need to force the matter of the Pingnan Army being incorporated into the Hanzhou Army. If anyone who is unwilling to be incorporated, let them settle down in the southwest with their families. Of course, they should still be scattered into various prefectures in the southwest and cannot live in one place."
Although the Pingnan Army was brave, five or six years later, many of them were old, and many of them had a grudge against the Hanzhou Army. After all, tens of thousands of people had tens of thousands of thoughts. There was no need to force these people to be incorporated into the Hanzhou Army. Even if they were forced, there might be conflicts, and it would be a better choice to let them settle down and settle down.
Li Shuo was greatly moved. He stood up from the chair and bowed to Li Xin to the ground.
"Brother is kind."
Li Xin got up and helped him up, patted him on the shoulder.
"It's not easy for you. I was a child five or six years ago, and there was such a big burden on you."
Li Shuo is indeed not easy.
In the third year of Taikang, he was only sixteen years old. In the following years, he had been wandering around with the remnants of the Pingnan Army. After finally finding a habitat, it was his turn to worry about the collective livelihood.
Even according to Li Xin's life trajectory, although he had already entered the court at the age of sixteen or seventeen, he was only a captain of the Yulin Guard. He didn't need to pay his salary, and he did much easier than Li Shuo.
In comparison, although the situation of the remnants of the Pingnan Army is worrying now, it is not easy for Li Shuo to survive for so long.
Li Shuo was quite moved, but he didn't cry. After the past five or six years of experience, he had not had many tears, and it was even more impossible for him to cry in front of others.
He stood up and said to Li Xin, "Brother, there is really no food there, so I'll go find Mr. You'an now."
Li Xin nodded.
"Go."
"Don't worry, the Pingnan Army was incorporated into the Hanzhou Army, and you will have a place in the southwest in the future."
Li Shuo stopped and turned around and smiled bitterly at Li Xin.
"Brother, I just hope that the people who escaped from Jincheng will have a place."
As he said that, he left Li Xin's garden and ran to the government office to find Zhao Jia to ask for food.
The garden where Li Xin lives is just an inconspicuous garden in Jincheng. He lives here so simply. He does not interfere in the military affairs of the Hanzhou Army or the government affairs of Zhao Jia. However, as long as he is in the southwest, the southwest is around him alone.
He can fiddle with the situation in the southwest with just a few words.
This is due to his years of operation and his years of trust.
Today's southwest is just between his fingers. Compared with Li Shen, who rebelled seven years ago, he is no different from Li Shen.
But his eyes were still on the capital.
Li Shen's defeat was that he only focused on the southwest, not the overall situation.
……………………
Time flies very quickly. In a blink of an eye, Li Xin has been southwest for more than a month. He has lived in Jincheng without any intention of leaving.
At this time, the uncle Xie Jing, who left Jincheng, had already arrived in the capital.
After entering the capital, he did not even return home, and walked directly to the palace. With the identity of "Uncle", he entered Yong'an Gate without any obstacles and finally waited for meeting at the gate of Weiyang Palace.
But after waiting for almost an hour, I couldn't see the emperor.
In the end, the little eunuch led him into Weiyang Palace and stopped at the door of a side palace in Weiyang Palace. Xie Jing lowered his hands and waited outside the door.
After a while, a sound came from the side hall.
"Come in."
Xie Jing frowned because this voice was not the voice of the emperor.
He still stepped in, walked to the owner of the voice, and was about to kneel down and salute.
"I've seen the Queen."
Empress Xie, dressed in palace clothes, stepped forward to support her younger brother and frowned slightly, "You must be welcome."
The two of them were talking outside the side hall. Xie Jing stretched out his head and looked inside, and said, "Empress, I have important things to ask you to see Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."
Queen Xie pulled her brother down on the chair beside her and sighed a long time.
"Your Majesty is asleep. You can't see anyone today. If you have anything, you can't go in and disturb him. Let's talk to him tomorrow."
Xie Jing was anxious.
"Empress, this matter is of great importance, and it is about the southwest..."
"It's nothing to do!"
Queen Xie's voice was a little higher. She gritted her silver teeth and said, "Your Majesty can finally fall asleep, and no one can disturb him to rest."
"You come back tomorrow."
Xie Jing then realized something was wrong. He looked around and found that there were not many people around him. After lowering his voice, he asked his sister, "Sister, what happened...?"
The Empress's face was a little unfair.
After she was silent for a while, she pulled her brother to walk outside.
"It's not convenient to speak here, go to my palace to talk."
After a few instructions from the palace people in Weiyang Palace, the Empress and the Palace People took Xie Jing away from the Weiyang Palace and walked towards their bedroom. The two palaces were not far apart, and they arrived in a short while. After returning to her palace, Empress Xie relaxed a lot. She pulled her brother to sit down, hesitated for a while before she spoke slowly.
"No one can tell what I said to you, even if my parents can't ask, do you understand?"
Xie Jing nodded,
"Sister knows me. I have never been unreliable since I was a child."
