Vol 2 Chapter 1179 When Mu Ying returned to Beijing

   Chapter 1179 When Mu Ying returned to Beijing

   Today’s capital, although the weather is calm on the bright side, but in fact everyone’s spirits are in a tense state all the time. After the people in the southwest line started to move, the officials in the court immediately noticed it.

   Everyone reacts differently.

  Some people began to find ways to inquire about news from the Jingan Houfu, and some people began to send money and goods to officials of the Southwest Department, wanting to get some exact information from them, so that they can make their next judgments.

  At this juncture, intelligence is the most critical thing. If intelligence can be one step ahead, then in the next possible changes, it will be able to do a good job and stand firm.

   However, most people couldn’t get any news from the Jing’an Marquis Mansion and asked the officials of the Southwest Department. Those people also asked three questions and said that they had received orders from their superiors.

   And the censor Zhou Youyi and others, who had been silent for several months, also began to move again. Under the conspiracy of these people, the second persuasion came soon.

At the same time, Mu Ying broke the Xianbei king’s tent in the northern Xinjiang. The news that the imperial court was about to establish the Anbei Duhufu in the northern Xinjiang also spread in the capital. The news was very exciting. Officials or ordinary people are all cheering.

the reason is simple.

The tyrannical Northern Zhou Dynasty is not far away from now. Many old people who are older still have lingering fears when they mention the Northern Zhou cavalry to their descendants. Although the Northern Zhou Dynasty has been destroyed for 50 years, the Xianbei people have not. Slowly growing, many Jin people are worried about when the Xianbei people will once again enter the pass and rebuild the Northern Zhou Dynasty.

   Of course, in the past few years, the Xianbei people have indeed entered the gates several times, the most serious one was Yu Wenzhao’s one. If it wasn’t for Li Xin to go north in person, the Xianbei people might have really rebuilt the Northern Zhou Dynasty.

   And now, the destruction of the Xianbei king’s tent means… the Xianbei people in the north are almost wiped out!

Although it is impossible for so many Xianbei people to die all at once, there will still be some tribes derived from the remaining two tribes, the Qigui tribe and the Buddha tribe, but with the size of these two tribes, it is far from impossible. To compete with the soon-to-be-established Anbei Duhufu.

   The Protectorate!

The term    is both unfamiliar and familiar. The former Jin people have only seen it in historical books. The relative force of the Jin Dynasty was not very tyrannical. During the Chengde Dynasty, it could only barely defend the frontier, and was unable to establish a protectorate.

   Only those extremely powerful dynasties in the history books are qualified to establish the Duhufu in the north!

After the news of    came out, it was impossible to know the reaction of the people in other places in Dajin, but the people in the capital were all arrogant, and when they met an alien on the street, they would hold their heads high and glanced disdainfully.

   Of course, these ordinary people can’t see it. In today’s capital, the soldiers and horses at the gates of the city, as well as the personnel in all key positions, have been quietly replaced.

   Only a few people who are interested found that the Fang Ding arranged by the Jingzhao Mansion to maintain order in each square, I don’t know when, all changed strange faces.

These Fang Ding are only non-staff personnel of Jingzhao Mansion. They are considered “employees”, helping Jingzhao Mansion to maintain order in the workshops. They are not people of the imperial court. In this way, the Fang Ding of most of the squares in the capital has been slightly changed.

This situation has caused most officials in the imperial court to become extremely sensitive. At this moment, in addition to going to work in the yamen every day, as long as they leave work at sunset, they immediately return to their homes and dare not participate in any entertainment activities. , Even if a friend invites you to drink, they all shake their heads and refuse.

The most direct manifestation of    is that since Li Xin ordered Shenwuwei to take over the capital, the business on the Qinhuai River has dropped by at least 30%.

   The right minister of Shangshutai, Zhao Jia, will go to Jing’an Hou’s mansion every day after taking a break from Shangshutai’s work.

And Li Shuo, the general of the Shenwu Guards, would also run to Jing’an Hou’s house every day during this time. Over time, not only the officials of the Southwest Department, but also those ordinary officials in the capital, also figured out some flavors. .

   Following Zhou Youyi’s persuasion, the scale is getting bigger and bigger.

  Yankang Year 2 at the end of July.

  The weather is still hot, but with the arrival of autumn, a little bit of coolness gradually appeared. Under the raging autumn tigers, it brought a breeze to the capital.

   At the entrance of Weiyang Palace, the Minister of War, who had just finished the grand meeting, glanced at the civil and military ministers who were returning to their own yamen, frowning slightly.

He said to the two servants beside him: “I have something to do today, so I won’t go back to the military department. If there is something in the yamen, you two can handle it for now. If there is something that can’t be solved, you can come to my house to find me. ”

  The four divisions of the Ministry of War are assigned to two servants respectively. The errand of Shangshu is just for the chief, and there is no need to deal with daily affairs. The two servants immediately bowed their heads: “Xiaguan obeys.”

After Ye Lin explained some errands for the Ministry of War, he left the imperial city from Yong’an Gate and went straight to the Jing’an Hou Mansion in Yongle Square. He is an old acquaintance of the Hou Mansion and Li Xin’s senior brother, so he doesn’t need to report to the newspaper. , was introduced into the mansion by the servants of the Hou mansion.

When he saw Li Xin, Li Xin was in the backyard holding his young son, who was less than one year old. When he saw Ye Lin coming, Li Xin put the child in the hands of Hui Niang next to him, got up and bowed to Ye Lin, smiling. He said, “Why are you here, brother?”

Ye Lin glanced at the baby beside Li Xin, and sighed with some incomprehension: “Now everyone in the imperial court is walking on thin ice, and many people still come to my door to have a look, and everyone is thinking about Jing’an Hou’s residence. One step, and it turns out that you are good at Chang’an, you don’t ask questions when you don’t go to court, but you hold the child at home…”

Li Xin got up, pulled Ye Lin to sit down in the shade of the backyard, and said with a smile, “No matter how much things happen in the capital, it won’t affect me holding the child. Besides, there won’t be any major incidents in the capital, everyone. Do what you need to do. Now that the pattern of the court has been set, the people who came from the southwest with me, those who should be officials have already become officials, and they have all been integrated into the system of the court. Even if things change, the personnel of the court will not There won’t be any big changes.”

   Li Xin’s face was calm, and he said frankly: “It’s nothing more than the change of the great king’s flag at the head of the city, and at most it’s just a change of the titles of a few more people.”

   “It took me two years to stabilize the situation in the capital, and naturally it won’t make it chaotic again.”

   Hearing Li Xin’s words, Ye Lin probably knew it in his heart. He exhaled a long breath and said in an obscure voice: “Since you have made up your mind, I won’t say more.”

Seeing his expression, Li Xin knew that his “Jin people” had a somewhat complicated mood, and immediately said slowly: “It wasn’t me who made the decision, it was the people from the Southwest faction who made the decision, so today my younger brother can only do his part. Carry this burden, otherwise the Southwest Army will be in chaos and more people will die.”

   “Senior brother should be able to understand this matter.”

“I see.”

   He looked up at Li Xin and asked, “What time is the day…?”

   This time, Li Xin did not avoid anything, and immediately said.

   “When Mu Ying returned to Beijing.”
