Unparalleled Concubine

  Chapter 374 Hot Ass Sitting

  Li Xin was Emperor Taikang whom he met in the side hall of Weiyang Palace.

  I haven't seen each other for more than half a year, the current emperor Taikang...

   is much calmer.

   The former King Wei actually didn't have many ideas of his own. Throughout the whole process of seizing the throne, most of Li Xin and the Ye family were making up their minds, and he was just nodding his head.

   But after sitting in this position for more than half a year, His Royal Highness the King of Wei at that time became the Taikang Emperor of the Great Jin Dynasty. No matter in terms of bearing or majesty, he has risen to more than one grade.

   Today's Emperor Taikang has a faint taste of the Emperor Chengde.

  The foal of tiger and leopard has an aura of eating cows before it has been tattooed. What’s more, this emperor of Taikang has already ruled the world, and his body not only has bright patterns, but also has strong claws.

   It's just that he hasn't had time to start eating people.

   Li Xin respectfully knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "My minister, Li Xin, Minister of the Ministry of War, kowtow to Your Majesty."

   Emperor Taikang was originally sitting beside the imperial table. After hearing the movement, he quickly stood up, walked quickly to Li Xin, and helped Li Xin up.

  The emperor patted Li Xin on the shoulder and said with a smile: "I haven't seen you for more than half a year, and Chang'an has gotten a lot of tan."

  In the past, before Li Xin didn't take the name, everyone could call him by his name, but now that Ye Sheng has given him a character, of course he should call him by the name, otherwise, it would be disrespectful.

   Therefore, the emperor changed his name.

   This is a matter of course, if he still calls him "Brother Xin" as he used to, then something is wrong.

  Li Xin bowed his head and said, "The sun and rain are inevitable along the way."

The emperor pulled Li Xin's sleeves and led him to the low table to sit down. The new emperor of the Great Jin Dynasty poured a cup of tea for Li Xin himself, then said with a smile: "It has been nearly seven months since Chang'an was gone. You are happy and happy, but you don't know that I miss you in the capital."

   In these years, it may not be a good thing for the emperor to remember.

  Li Xin forced a smile: "My hometown is remote and the journey is far away, so I am worried about His Majesty Lao."

  The emperor shook his head: "You and my brother, why do you need to see outside?"

  Who dares to be your brother...

   Li Xin smiled and said nothing.

   "Have everything in your hometown been done?"

  Li Xin nodded and said, "It's almost done."

  The emperor laughed: "I heard Dong Cheng say, you are in Yongzhou, forcing a family to change their surname?"

  Li Xin shook his head: "How can the minister have the power to force people to change their surnames, they are voluntary."

  The emperor asked tentatively: "Dong Cheng said, that family...is your grandfather?"

  Li Xin raised his head and glanced at the emperor, then corrected: "That family expelled the mother from the family eighteen years ago, and is not considered the grandfather of the minister."

  The Emperor sighed softly.

   "I know Chang'an, you suffered a lot when you were young. It's only natural that you spit out your anger when you return home this time, but your methods are a bit wrong."

  The Son of Heaven said solemnly: "The family of Xiao can be ruined or ruined. These are just things you and I have said, but in any case, with this bloodline, you should not come forward in person."

   His Majesty the Emperor said quietly: "If you come forward, you are committing a crime, and you may be criticized in the court in the future."

   He was worried about Li Xin.

Frankly speaking, there is nothing wrong with what he said. No matter what, the Xiao family is indeed Li Xin's grandfather's family. He can use 10,000 means behind his back to destroy the Xiao family, but in any case, he should not personally Come forward.

   After all, Li Xin is going to join the court in the future, and doing so will leave a stain and become a lever for political enemies in the court to attack him in the future.

   Li Xin was silent for a while, then said, "What Your Majesty said is that this minister is impulsive."

   In fact, this stain was left on purpose by him.

   Of course Li Xin could play the Xiao family behind his back, but he didn't.

  The Emperor sighed and said, "I will find a way to remedy this matter for you. In the future, I will still have many places to rely on Chang'an, and I cannot let those civil servants seize this handle."

  Li Xin nodded.

   "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Naturally, the handle    cannot be in the hands of the civil servants, but in the hands of this majesty.

   After drinking a few sips of tea with the emperor, Li Xin asked, "I don't know why Your Majesty is so eager to summon the ministers back, why?"

   Hearing the words, the emperor paused for a while, then slowly took a sip of tea, and smiled wryly at Li Xin: "To tell you the truth, I am alone in the capital, and I am somewhat helpless, and I need you to come back and help."

  The so-called isolation and helplessness refers to those old officials of the Chengde Dynasty.

   It is true that the emperor and the courtiers of a dynasty are true, but there is a process of power replacement. It is impossible for the new emperor to bring up all his people and drive out all the old ministers the day after he ascends the throne.

   This is going to cause big problems, and there are not so many people under the Taikang emperor, who can take up all the important departments at once.

   So it takes time.

   Generally, after the new emperor ascends the throne, it will be as short as three or five years and as long as seven or eight years before he can fully control the court situation.

   More importantly, in the process, those old people may not be willing to retire.

   Take Prime Minister Zhang Qu as an example, not long after the new emperor ascended the throne, he said that he would not be able to do it for long, but up to now, he still sits firmly in position and does not move.

   It is not entirely because he himself is unwilling to let it go. In fact, a large number of interest groups behind him are pushing him, and he is not allowed to voluntarily withdraw.

   What's more, even if Zhang Qu voluntarily retire now, there is no suitable candidate on Taikang's side who can immediately inherit Zhang Qu's position.

   For more than half a year, although Emperor Taikang gathered a large number of cronies, only one of the five aspects was picked, and that was the position of Prime Minister Huan Chu.

   In fact, there is no need to worry too much about this process. After all, the emperor has a reputation. Over time, more and more people will invest in the emperor, and power will naturally alternate.

   Li Xin frowned and asked, "Is there anyone else in the capital who opposes His Majesty?"

   "Not at all."

   Emperor Taikang was a little distressed: "It's just that those old ministers always tell me that I can't do this, and I can't do that either. It's very uncomfortable for me to be tied."

Is not this nonsensical…

  You, a young man in his twenties, are suddenly in charge of the universe. They must not watch you take care of you, or what if you are unhappy and break up your home?

Li Xin said helplessly: "Your Majesty, this is a common occurrence. After a few years, after Your Majesty has become familiar with the government affairs of the court, they will naturally not say anything more. Even during the Chengde Dynasty, the first emperor could not have it. Do whatever you want?"

   Emperor Taikang shook his head: "Those civil officials are irrelevant, you can take your time, I'm not in a hurry, what I need is to hold the forbidden army in my own hands."

   Emperor Taikang knew in his heart that there was something wrong with the process of his ascension to the throne.

   That's why he couldn't wait to seize power and secure this position.

   And to sit firmly in this position, the most important thing is to hold the military power.

   Li Xin was stunned for a while, then reacted immediately.

   "Your Majesty means... General Pei?"

General Pei Jin is a die-hard loyalist of the emperor of Chengde. He has been in charge of the Imperial Army for nearly ten years. Earlier, when Chong Shuai was in the capital, he could control Pei Jin. Now Chong Shuai has also left the capital, and the Imperial Army has returned Became Pei Jin alone.

  Although Pei Jin looks very loyal, the Emperor Taikang...do not worry.

   He still remembered that when the palace changed last year, Pei Jin was inclined to abolish the prince.

   Now that the abolished prince is missing, it makes the emperor sleepless.

"good."

   Emperor Taikang nodded fiercely.

   "Changan, I want you to help me and replace this Pei Jin!"
