Chapter 180: Forever Jinchen!
The emperor's words are actually a lie.
He is indeed very good to the eldest princess, and the relationship between the two is indeed very strong, but when sitting in the position of the emperor, no matter what kind of relationship it is, it is not very useful.
Take the Emperor Wu Zhao for example. No matter how much she loves her daughter Princess Taiping, she will kill her son-in-law Xue Shao. Sitting in the position of the Supreme Lord of Nine Five, it is difficult for her personal relationship to affect their decisions.
The emperor did not kill Li Xin with him, to a large extent, because he could not kill Li Xin, or it was not easy to kill Li Xin, rather than his unwillingness to kill Li Xin.
The reason why I say this to the eldest princess is to make a fuss. If Li Xin has any evil intentions in the future, the eldest princess, the person next to her, may be persuaded.
Of course, this kind of small method cannot restrain Li Xin very well. It can only be said that it is better than nothing. For the emperor, this is just a casual sentence. It is naturally good to have effect, and it doesn't matter if it doesn't work.
All people who climb to a high place or stand on a high place like to keep some backhands intentionally or unintentionally. Most of these backhands are useless, but they have no cost. It is naturally good to be useful, and it doesn’t matter if they are useless.
But after hearing this, the eldest princess was moved and burst into tears.
She knew very well that there was already a deep conflict between her elder brother and her husband. Otherwise, at the beginning of the year, Li Xin would not have tried every means to send the mother and son out of the capital. If the son could say this today, the eldest princess would naturally not be unmoved.
She held the emperor's hand and choked and said, "Brother is still young, I can't mention the word "death". I can rest for a while, maybe I'll be fine."
The emperor smiled slightly and didn't say anything.
"Okay, you may not have come to the palace for a long time. I have seen it here, so let's go to my mother's place to take a look. My mother's mother has always been thinking about you."
The eldest princess wiped her tears with her sleeves, lowered her head and said, "Well, brother, you have a good rest. I'll go to Kunde Palace to see my mother first."
The emperor waved his hand powerlessly.
"You go."
The eldest princess slowly withdrew from Weiyang Palace, and Xiao Zheng personally sent her out. After Xiao Zheng came back, she found that the emperor was still sitting with a expressionless face.
"Li Xin is waiting outside?"
Xiao Zheng lowered his head and said, "Go back to Your Majesty, Marquis Li is waiting outside."
"You let him in."
Xiao Zheng nodded, walked to the steps of Weiyang Palace, bowed to Li Xin and said, "Mr. Li, Your Majesty is welcome."
Li Xin was not surprised by the emperor's summons. He smiled and nodded: "It's a blessing to Eunuch Xiao."
...
After a while, the Marquis of Jing'an was already sitting opposite the emperor.
The emperor stood up and drank a cup of hot tea under the service of two palace maids. Then he let out a long breath and looked at Li Xin.
"I want to thank you if you can let Xiaojiu come to see me."
Li Xin shook his head and lowered his head and said, "It's not me that I asked the eldest princess to come to see Your Majesty, but the eldest princess himself is going to see Your Majesty."
The emperor coughed a few times, his voice a little hoarse.
"Thank you anyway."
Seeing him like this, Li Xin sighed: "Your Majesty, be careful."
"I'm not in the way."
After the emperor coughed a few more times, he said in a deep voice: "A few days ago, I asked you to take the errands of the Right Camp of the Imperial Guard again. You should know my intention."
Li Xin lowered his head and said, "Your Majesty wants me to assist the prince in ascending the throne."
The emperor had no expression on his face: "Originally, Li Chang'an, you, carried the court and me on your back, raised private soldiers in the southwest, and made bad plans. This errand should not fall on you anyway, but I have to admit that my Taikang Dynasty has half of your contribution."
Speaking of this, the emperor sighed deeply.
"I... won't care about the Southwest with you."
In fact, at this point, the emperor is actually helpless about the Southwest. Otherwise, with the temperament of the Ji family emperor, how could he not care about it?
Emperor Wu and Emperor Chengde have been competing with the Marquis of Pingnan for more than 30 years!
Li Xin stood up and bowed to the emperor and said, "I, thank you for your forgiveness."
The emperor sat on the dragon couch with expressionless expression.
"What are you in the right camp of the imperial guards?"
Li Xin lowered his head and said, "I... After receiving the imperial edict, I ran to the right camp of the Imperial Guard many times. Now I dare not say it is like a finger-arm envoy, but it is still no problem to mobilize the right camp of the Imperial Guard."
The emperor said so many words in one breath, but he felt his head ached faintly. He rubbed his forehead with his hands, and his voice hoarse: "You are the prince's teacher, and the prince is also famous. With you, you can control the imperial guards. If you can ensure that the prince succeeds to the throne, there will be no mistakes."
This is arranging the funeral after death.
Marquis Jing'an looked up at the emperor and sighed, "Your Majesty, you don't have to do this. The situation in the capital is far less chaotic than ten years ago. If Your Majesty really... the prince can definitely succeed the throne."
"If your Majesty is not at ease, I can hand over the errands of the Right Camp of the Imperial Army in exchange for your Majesty's peace of mind."
The emperor closed his eyes.
"I won't be at ease when you, Li Chang'an, hand over the imperial guards. You are unwilling to do what can really make me feel at ease."
This sentence refers to the prescription for Li Xin to hand over the heavenly thunder.
Marquis Jing'an pretended not to understand and lowered his head and said nothing.
The emperor opened his eyes, looked at Li Xin a few times, and sighed helplessly.
"Chang'an, how did I treat you over the years?"
Li Xin frowned and thought for a while, then looked up and replied seriously: "It's not bad."
To be honest, the emperor has indeed been good to Li Xin over the years. He has never destroyed bridges after crossing the river. You should know that countless emperors in history have destroyed bridges after crossing the river, and even started to turn against each other after a few months and six months of becoming the throne. Although the emperor is a little mean to Li Xin in some aspects, it is pretty good overall.
For example, although he restricted Li Xin in terms of real power, he was quite generous in his official position. From the Minister of War to the Minister of War, to the later Prince Taibao, he was already extremely honored in terms of official rank.
Therefore, Li Xin said "It's not bad".
After hearing this sentence "It's not bad", the emperor laughed and said, "I treat you the most in the Taikang Dynasty. In the third year of Taikang, the position of Minister of War and Prince Taibao was granted, the people from the Censorate wrote me a letter of advice for two years, saying that I deposed the public for personal gain and that the Jin Dynasty had never had such a young first-rank courtier."
Hearing this sentence, Li Xin smiled.
"Your Majesty might as well throw these people to the southwest and let them fight the Pingnan Army of that year."
The emperor looked at Li Xin and his face became serious.
"Chang'an, there have been many conflicts between me and you in the past two years, and there have been many conflicts in secret. However, in the end, I still believe you and handed the prince to your hands."
The emperor's voice was hoarse, but his eyes were sincere.
"Now, I'm about to die..."
He looked at Li Xin.
"Can you...make me more at ease?"
Li Xin looked up at the emperor silently, then bowed and bowed, "What does Your Majesty want me to do? Just give me instructions. What I can do is to do without any obligation."
The emperor laughed at himself: "I want you to hand over the thunder, but you probably won't agree."
His Majesty, the Emperor of the Great Jin, took a deep breath.
"So, I want you to swear in front of me."
Marquis Jing'an looked up at the emperor.
The emperor took a deep breath and gritted his teeth.
"I want you to swear, your whole life..."
