Unparalleled Concubine

Only then did Xie Dai stand up, bowed to the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, this morning, I was called to Jing'an Houfu by Lord Jingan..."

Xie Dai told the story of what happened today from beginning to end. Originally, the Son of Heaven didn't take it very seriously. After all, a person's life was not enough for him to take it seriously. But when Xie Dai mentioned the murder of the man, After the address, the emperor's expression suddenly changed.

Xie Dai also sensed that the atmosphere was not right, he immediately knelt down, bowed his head and said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, the matter is like this, the subject and Habayashi Wei did not know a little bit before, Habayashi Wei Youying, in the name of His Majesty, was in Li Lord Hou listened in front of him, he told us to go get someone, we had to follow..."

"Until now, I don't know who the person who was killed was. I just vaguely felt that something was wrong, so I immediately rushed to the palace to see His Majesty."

After the emperor took a few deep breaths, his face calmed down. He glanced at Xie Dai who was kneeling on the flat ground, and said lightly: "You don't need to be so nervous, I don't know who the murdered person is, but since The Marquis of Jingan said that the man was a traitor, and it seems that the traitor is correct, so this matter should be handed over to the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and a notice will be posted when the result is out."

"It has nothing to do with you Habayashi guard."

Xie Dai then stood up, bowed his head to the emperor and said, "I understand."

After saying this, he was about to stand up and leave, when the emperor suddenly asked, "When you went to Liushufang in the morning, it was the Marquis of Jing'an... who killed that person himself?"

"Yes."

Xie Dai lowered his head and said: "Jing Anhou was extremely quick. After we entered that courtyard, we tied up that man, and after a few words, Jing Anhou killed him with his hands."

The emperor nodded, and just about to open his mouth to continue asking, Xiao Zheng, who was waiting on the side, suddenly stepped forward and whispered something in the emperor's ear.

Emperor Taikang nodded, and waved to Xie Dai: "Okay, you step back first, this matter will not involve you, you can rest assured."

As he spoke, the Son of Heaven said to Xiao Zheng, "Lead him out through the back door."

Only now did Xiao Zheng walk up to Xie Dai, and said respectfully, "Thank you, Mr. Xie."

In terms of power and official position, Xie Dai is not worthy of carrying shoes for Xiao Zheng, the "grand duke", but Xie Dai has some relatives with the empress, so Xiao Zheng is still polite, he deliberately did not mention Xie Dai's official position, Just call him son.

This is the wisdom of eunuchs in the inner palace.

Xie Dai followed Xiao Zheng and went out from the back door of Weiyang Palace. Halfway through, he suddenly said, "Eunuch Xiao, why is your majesty so hasty..."

Xiao Zheng turned his head and smiled at Xie Dai.

"Master Xie, someone is asking to see His Majesty."

…………

In the study of Weiyang Palace.

After returning home, Li Xin changed into a clean court uniform. In front of the emperor, he respectfully saluted the emperor: "Your Majesty, Li Xin, greet you."

The emperor waved his hands with a smile, and said, "There is no need to be so polite, get up and talk."

Li Xin stood up with a serious expression on his face.

"Your Majesty, I am in a hurry to enter the palace because I have something urgent to report to Your Majesty."

The emperor blinked and asked with a smile, "What can make you so anxious, Chang'an?"

"Li Xing has entered Beijing."

Lord Jing'an looked serious, bowed his head and said: "Your Majesty may not remember, this Li Xing is the leader of those survivors of the Southern Shu. In the 17th year of Chengde, the survivors of the Southern Shu went to Beijing to assassinate the late emperor. This person was the envoy."

"Five years ago, His Majesty formed an alliance with the survivors of Southern Shu and broke Jincheng together. In the following five years, this person controlled the [-] soldiers and horses in Hanzhou Prefecture. At this time, this person is not in Hanzhou Prefecture. But sneaking to the capital, there must be some big conspiracy!"

Li Xin said in a deep voice.

"After getting the news, I didn't dare to be negligent, and immediately took Habayashi Wei to this person's residence, and killed the rebel."

The emperor still had a smile on his face, but there was a trace of gloom in the corners of his eyes. He smiled at Li Xin and said, "So Chang'an, you have made another great contribution. I must thank you very much."

Li Xin shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Your Majesty, if it was just this, I wouldn't be in such a hurry to enter the palace. You understand me, I am not the kind of person who is greedy for merit."

Emperor Taikang looked at Li Xin with an expression of wishing to hear more about it.

Lord Jing'an looked solemn, and spoke slowly.

"Your Majesty, this Li Xing belongs to the old Southern Shu royal family. It is very difficult for him to completely surrender to our Great Jin Dynasty. Therefore, in the past, the Hanzhou Army in Hanzhou Prefecture has not been controlled by the imperial court very smoothly."

"But now that this person is dead, it is an opportunity for the court."

Lord Jing'an was solemn.

"Li Xing is dead. The person in charge of the Hanzhou Mansion should be the Hanzhou General Mu Ying. I recognize this person. This person is an old minister of my Jin Dynasty. He once stayed in the Habayashi Guard for some years, and he prefers to live in the capital. "

"It's much easier to convince him to completely surrender to my Great Jin than to convince His Royal Highness Li Xing."

Having said that, Li Xin took a deep breath, and cupped his hands at the emperor.

"Your Majesty, if we can subdue this man, we will have another [-] tigers and wolves in the southwestern frontier of our Great Jin Dynasty, and the country and society will be more stable!"

683 Divergent

In Weiyang Palace, there was silence.

The Son of Heaven quietly looked at Li Xin, the Marquis of Jing'an, who was under the steps, while the Marquis of Jing'an bent over properly, without looking up at the holy face.

Neither of them spoke, so no one in the whole Weiyang Palace dared to make a sound, and those palace people who were on duty all, even held their breath in fright.

I don't know how much time passed, there was a sound of footsteps outside the study, it was Xiao Zheng, the chief eunuch of the inner guard, who was sending Xie Dai back.

According to the rules in the palace, eunuchs often walked in small steps and could not make a sound. Xiao Zheng was an old hand among them, and he didn't make much sound when walking, but at this time, the sound of his walking was very obvious.

Because the Weiyang Palace study at this time... is too quiet.

Xiao Zheng only took a step, and he sensed that the atmosphere here was not right. He also held his breath, and quietly stood beside the emperor, without saying a word.

After the emperor looked at Li Xin for a while, a faint smile appeared on his face.

"So, Changan, you really did a good deed."

Speaking of this, the emperor paused, and then said lightly: "It's just that I heard that the survivors of Nanshu in the southwest are very nostalgic, and they also recognize this old highness of Nanshu. If he killed him, wouldn't he be afraid of the [-] Hanzhou troops in the southwest rising up to make trouble?"

Li Xin bowed his head respectfully, and said in a deep voice, "Return to Your Majesty, it has been 40 years since Nanshu was destroyed."

"40 years is enough for these Nanshu adherents to reproduce for two generations. In fact, the current general of Hanzhou, Mu Ying, has been born in Nanshu. It looks like the real Southern Shu adherents from back then no longer exist.”

"What's more, five years ago, they fought bloody battles and finally got a legal Dajin status."

"These people in Hanzhou Prefecture may still respect Li Xing, but it is impossible for them to rebel and engage in the business of beheading because of Li Xing."

Lord Jing'an said calmly: "I suspect that it is precisely for this reason that Li Xing, the great highness of the old Southern Shu, will come to Beijing at this time. He must want to make trouble in the capital. Things, such as the assassination of His Majesty, made the court anger the Hanzhou Army and forced them to rebel again."

"So you killed him?"

The Son of Heaven glanced at Li Xin lightly, and said with a smile: "If this is the case, why should he be handed over to the Ministry of Criminal Justice for interrogation, and forced to find out who his accomplices in the capital are? Killed?"
