MTL - Unparalleled Concubine-Chapter 118 an excuse to do it

  Chapter 118 Excuses to do it

  Zhong Ming is from Nanshu. About five or six years ago, he was sent to Li Shen to be responsible for the communication between the two sides. For the past five or six years, he has been by Li Shen's side as a follower, almost inseparable.

   But in the end, he was still a native of Nanshu.

  Zhong Ming lowered his head slightly and said in a low voice, "Your Highness, among the few people sent by Emperor Ji's family, there is a very important young man, and this person cannot be killed."

  Li Xing narrowed his eyes and sneered: "Why, is Ji Man's son here?"

Ji Man is the name taboo of the emperor of Chengde. In the whole of Jin, no one dared to call the emperor by his name, whether he was a courtier or a commoner, and even Li Shen, who was a pillar country, did not call the emperor by the name of Chengde in private, only Li Xing. Only this kind of "rebel" dared to call the name of the emperor of Chengde unscrupulously.

  Zhong Ming lowered his head slightly and his voice was calm: "Your Highness, the son of Emperor Ji's family is not here, but if nothing else happens, the person who comes will be his son-in-law."

   He raised his head and glanced at Li Xing: "If he is killed, it is very likely that Emperor Ji's family and our family will turn against each other."

Li Xin went to Pingnan Hou's Mansion to recognize his relatives, but that time, Mrs. Yu deliberately blocked the news, so that in the whole capital, not many people knew that Li Xin was Li Shen's son, only the emperor of Chengde and Jingzhao Yin Li Ye and a few others knew about it. Later, Li Shen returned to Beijing to deny the relationship, and no one would talk about it.

   At the very least, Zhong Ming didn't know about this. He had absolutely no idea what relationship Li Xin had with Li Shen.

  Li Xing frowned deeply.

   "This person, married the princess of the Ji family?"

  Zhong Ming shook his head slightly: "Not yet, but when the Marquis and I were out of the city, the Ji family emperor once pointed to this young man and said that he would marry his daughter to him in the future."

Li Xing sneered slightly: "That's just Ji Man's little trick to buy people's hearts, he doesn't say that, how could this young man willingly come to the southern border to die? You go back now and let Li Shen kill him, if you don't believe Ji Manshi I have endured it for eight years, and I will shake the national system for such a young man!"

  Zhong Ming took a deep breath. He half-knelt on the ground and said solemnly, "Your Highness, Lord Hou asked me to tell you something."

   Li Xing glanced at Zhong Ming,

"Say."

   "The Great Jin has ruled the world for more than 30 years."

Zhong Ming's tone was heavy: "More than 30 years ago, when the Jin State was first unified, the continuous war for more than ten years made the Jin State's national strength almost exhausted, and it was no longer able to move, so that even the Emperor Wu of the Ji family, There is no spare energy to take care of the southern border, and I can only sit and watch the old marquis of the Li family, Li Zhijie, split the southern border for his own."

   "Eighteen years ago, the Chengde emperor of the Ji family ascended the throne, but the Ji family still did not fill in the hole. The Chengde emperor had to recuperate for more than ten years, and he did not dare to use the national power."

   Having said that, Zhong Ming looked up at Li Xing.

   "But now, more than 30 years have passed. No matter how serious the injury is, it should be healed for more than 30 years..."

   Zhongming's tone was calm.

   "The Ji family's injuries are healed, and now maybe they are just waiting for an excuse to do something..."

  Li Xing was silent.

For so many years, the reason why Southern Border and the imperial court have been able to live in peace is, on the one hand, because Southern Border has some of its own capital, but more importantly, when the Jin Dynasty unified the world, its vitality was damaged, and the top and bottom were left to waste. Needless to say, Emperor Wu's continuous expeditions for more than ten years have almost overdrawn the capital of the Jin Dynasty and put the entire country's economy on the verge of collapse.

  In this case, this kind of mutual tolerance between the two sides for decades will occur.

   After the emperor of Chengde ascended the throne, he still maintained a great degree of patience towards the southern border.

   But over the past few years, this emperor's "temper" has gotten worse and worse, and he seems to be getting more and more intolerable of this thorn in the side of Southern Border.

   Li Shen felt this change very keenly, so he asked Zhong Ming to pass such a sentence to Li Xing.

   The grand highness of the remnant of Nanshu lowered his head and thought for a long time, then said solemnly: "What does Li Shen mean?"

  Zhong Ming breathed a long sigh of relief.

   He knew that when Li Xing asked this sentence, it meant that His Highness was ready to compromise with the Pingnan Houfu.

   "Master Hou means that in a short period of time, no matter which Li family has the capital to deal with the court, they can only coax the court first, and don't offend if you can."

  Li Xing narrowed his eyes.

   "But if what Li Shen said is true, it won't take long for him to coax him. Sooner or later, Ji Man will call. It's pointless to drag it on like this."

Zhong Ming lowered his head and said, "The Hou Ye family is still in the capital, at least for now, he has no intention of rebelling at all, so he can only delay it temporarily. The Hou Ye said that if His Highness is unwilling to cooperate, he will bring Pingnan with him. The army has hit Hanzhou City hard, and the casualties on both sides will be real."

  Li Xing frowned.

   He knew very well that the Marquis of Pingnan had always said one thing, that Li Shen was absolutely likely to bring the Pingnan Army and attack him with real swords and spears!

   "What kind of acting?"

  Zhong Ming took out a letter from his arms and said solemnly: "The specific content, the Marquis has already written it in the letter, please take a look at it."

   Li Xing grunted and waved his hand impatiently.

   "Okay, I see. After I read the letter, I will reply to Li Shen."

  Zhong Ming bent over and said, "The villain retire."

   Just when Zhong Ming walked to the door, Li Xing raised his head and glanced at it, and said lightly: "Zhong Ming, don't forget that you are from Shu!"

Zhong Ming stopped, looked back at Li Xing deeply, hesitated for a while, and finally bent down and said in a low voice, "Your Highness, what the villain said just now is what Lord Hou meant. For the sake of people, the villain has some other news to tell His Highness."

  Li Xing was originally dismantling Li Shen's letters, but when he heard the words, he stopped and looked up at Zhong Ming with a smile that was not a smile.

  Zhong Ming lowered his head and said to himself: "Your Highness, the young man just mentioned by the villain is not only the son-in-law of Emperor Ji's family, his surname is also Li, and his name is Li Xin."

  Li Xing's complexion changed slightly.

  Some time ago, someone in the capital came to deliver a letter, saying that it was Li Fu, the little prince of Nanshu, who died in the hands of a young man named Li Xin in the capital. Not long after that, his sister disappeared.

  Li Xing's expression darkened: "Is that Li Xin?"

  Zhong Ming nodded and said, "It was Li Xin who harmed the little prince. The little princess ran away. Most of the time, he wanted to avenge the little prince, so the matter of the little prince's disappearance may be found in this young man."

  Li Xing gritted his teeth: "Listen to what you just said, you didn't plan to say this news!"

  Zhong Ming lowered his head: "Master Hou didn't let me say it."

   "You are from Shu!"

  Li Xing was furious: "You are not Li Shen's dog!"

  Zhong Ming still lowered his head: "His Royal Highness sent me to the Marquis's side to exchange news, not to send me over to work. In the past five years, I have been doing my part and I have never felt sorry for Your Highness."

  Zhong Ming was born in Shu, a serious man of eight classics. He has been with Li Shen for five or six years, and he has a taste of falling into the Pingnan Hou Mansion, which shows that Li Shen, the Pingnan Hou, has a lot of personality.

  Li Xing laughed in anger.

   "Where is that Li Xin now?"

  Zhong Ming lowered his head and took a deep breath.

   "In Jincheng."

   Ji Man is King Mu of Zhou, that is, the name of Emperor Mu. I borrow it and use it, don't blame it.
