The eldest princess married Li Xin and it should be entrusted to Li Xin, but if she said that she would also entrust the prince to Li Xin, it would be nonsense.

The feudal dynasties in Zhuxia were all very complex interest groups, not just as simple as the Tian family. To put it bluntly, the emperor can sometimes determine the direction of this interest group, or even the fate, but the life and death of an emperor alone is not particularly able to affect this interest group.

Emperor Taikang collapsed and the new emperor succeeded to the throne. The court would have a complete mechanism for imperial power to pass on. Once the new emperor was young, civil officials represented by the prime minister of the Shangshutai, the Tian family represented by the new emperor's biological mother, and the powerful class represented by the royal family and nobles, before the emperor took power, they would form a group similar to the "parliament" but not the parliament, and temporarily take over the emperor's authority and take charge of the court's principles on their behalf.

This was the case in the past, and naturally there is no exception now. In other words, Emperor Taikang collapsed and the crown prince succeeded to the throne. If Li Xin did not have the emperor's will, then the emperor's power would be transitioned to these people. At most, Li Xin was a representative of the nobles and participated in political affairs slightly. He might not even be able to enter the decision-making level, let alone the word "entrusted".

Hearing the emperor's words, Li Xin sighed slowly.

"Your Majesty, I can't bear the word "entrusted". Your Majesty's expression has recovered a little. Maybe he will recover after a few days of rest..."

The emperor sat opposite Li Xin and forced a smile.

"I heard from others that when a person is about to die, there will be a sense of emotion. I didn't believe it before..."

Speaking of this, the emperor kept silent, but looked at Li Xin.

"I just entrusted the crown prince to Chang'an, but Chang'an has not responded to me yet."

Li Xin smiled bitterly and said, "Your Majesty is so proud of me. Now I am just a Minister of War. Even if I take charge of the right camp of the Imperial Guard, I will be subject to the control of the Grand Commander's Office. How can I bear such an important task?"

"You can certainly deserve it."

The emperor closed his eyes a little tired and said slowly: "Now the power in the southwest is far superior to the Pingnan Army back then. I have no choice but to do anything. The prince will probably have no choice but to deal with the southwest in the future."

Speaking of this, he opened his eyes and looked at Li Xin.

"But you can easily grasp the southwest in Chang'an. I just hope that Chang'an will not make things difficult for the prince in the future."

The emperor coughed twice, his voice hoarse.

"In this way, I will complete my entrust."

Li Xin was silent.

It turns out that I am waiting for myself here.

He looked up at the pale emperor, then lowered his head slightly: "Your Majesty, I have no intention of rebelling, and there is no Mu family in the southwest. If the court does not attack the southwest, the southwest will not take any action."

The emperor looked at Li Xin.

"This is my first entrusted."

Marquis Jing'an felt quite heavy in his heart, and he took a deep breath: "Please give me instructions."

The emperor was originally looking back on his face and could not hold on for too long. After saying so long, his face turned pale. He stood up opposite Li Xin, sat back on his soft couch with some difficulty, and looked up at Li Xin.

"Ye Mao has already handed over the battle report from the north."

The emperor seemed a little uncomfortable. He frowned and closed his eyes and said, "After this battle, there are almost two of the four Yuwen tribes in the north, which are greatly damaged. Ye Mao said in the battle report that this is the plan you made before leaving Chang'an. He just did it as he did."

Ye Mao is undoubtedly very sensible.

Logically speaking, when he led his troops to deal with Yuwen Zhao, Li Xin was not only not at Jimen Pass, but he was no longer a general of the Zhenbei Army. No matter how much the Zhenbei Army had, he could take it on himself. Besides, no matter what plan or not, it was just a matter of one sentence. Even if Ye Mao was embarrassed to say that it was thought of it, he could avoid talking about it. However, the eldest grandson of the Ye family almost gave most of the credit to Li Xin in the battle report to the court.

Li Xin had never seen the battle report of Zhenbei Army. He was a little surprised when he heard this and lowered his head and said, "Your Majesty, when Zhenbei Army fought with Yuwen's troops, I was in the capital. No matter what, I can't tell you about this..."

The emperor looked at Li Xin.

"If it were someone else, I naturally wouldn't believe it, but you... are different from Chang'an..."

After taking a breath, the emperor continued, "You are a...a very capable person. It is not surprising that you can do such a thing, but you are right. When you are not in the northern border, this credit will not fall on you anyway..."

"but."

The emperor seemed to have a sudden pain, and he groaned with a muffled voice, and sweat was already faintly seen on his forehead.

"But Yuwen's troops only hurt their muscles and bones, but they did not hurt the root cause. Since you have the ability to severely damage them, you have a chance..."

"So you'll press them to death."

What the emperors of all generations are undoubtedly expanding their territory. Emperor Taikang was not surprised. He also wanted the army of the Great Jin Dynasty to sweep across the Yuwen tribes in the north. Although time no longer allowed him to do this, he still hoped that Li Xin could completely erase the hidden dangers in the north behind him.

From the third year of Taikang, the emperor sitting in the capital began to look north. Until now, in the ninth year of Taikang, the emperor had reached the point of life and death, and his eyes had not moved away from the north.

Marquis Jing'an was in a very complicated mood.

He has known the emperor for more than ten years. Although he has gradually become disloyal in recent years and has even shown signs of turning against each other, it is not realistic to say that he has no feelings at all.

Sometimes, Li Xin really regards this emperor as a friend.

He was silent for a while, and finally looked up at the emperor and did not bow down to avoid it.

"Your Majesty..."

"With the opportunity, I will definitely clear the hidden dangers of Northern Xinjiang for the Great Jin Dynasty."

The emperor forced a smile.

"In this way, I can feel at ease."

His face became less and less beautiful, and he even showed signs of being unable to sit steadily. He was about to fall on the soft couch.

Seeing this, Li Xin was shocked and no longer cared about the emperor's identity. He quickly took two steps forward and supported the emperor's shoulder.

"His Majesty?"

The emperor's mind was already faintly drowsy. He looked at Li Xin who was close to him and his voice began to be intermittent.

"I believe... Brother."

After the emperor said these three words, he continued, "I... originally wanted to take you with me..."

Speaking of this, he laughed at himself.

"But if you die too, I... I guess the prince will not be able to deal with this mess."

With the help of Li Xin, the emperor lay half on the soft couch and a pillow was pillowed behind him.

He rubbed his head and continued, "So...I won't kill you anymore."

The emperor opened his eyes and looked at Li Xin.

"Ten years ago... If the Fourth Brother succeeded to the throne, I would have died long ago, this time..."

"Just treat it as a way to pay back the life you saved ten years ago."

His voice became less and less.

Li Xin sat beside the bed, his eyes were a little red.

"If it weren't for Your Majesty ten years ago, I might have died long ago."

When Li Xin first entered the capital, he offended the Pingnan Marquis' Mansion. With the power of the Pingnan Marquis' Mansion at that time, even the six ministers in the court were unwilling to provoke him.

It was the seventh prince at that time that he dared to reach out to pull Li Xin.

The two of them are mutually fulfilling each other.

Now, more than ten years have passed, things have changed.
