"Uncle, you said, our soldiers threw their heads in front of them, spilled blood and blood, and opened up the territory for His Majesty to pacify the four razors, how little do they want, but why...... But why did the officials and His Majesty turn a blind eye......"

"I also know that reselling ordnance and equipment is a big crime, but I can't bear that kind of difficult situation, how can I ...... it?"

"If Marquis Jingwu throws me and the Marquis of Yinshan out of the black pot this time, I will inevitably be taken away from the title by His Majesty, and the countless hard-earned exploits of more than 20 years will be in vain......

"I invited my uncle out to chat today, I also want to see if I can find some help from Qinghehou, otherwise the 20,000 soldiers of the Western Army will suffer this injustice......

Li Xin sighed and complained, and finally said what he wanted to do today.

Yuan Kun was silent for a long time and shook his head with a wry smile, "I'm afraid my brother-in-law thinks too highly of me, I'm just a first-class official of the Ministry of Industry, although I am fortunate to meet with Qinghe Hou a few times and say a few words, but after all, the difference in status is too great, I am afraid that this time will disappoint my brother-in-law!" ”

"Alas~" Li Xin looked even more lonely after hearing this, which was expected, but hearing it with his own ears was only more disappointed.

"If my brother-in-law wants to resolve this crisis, it is best to visit Dr. Feng Xiangmeng, the chief official of the three provinces and six departments, as well as the princes and princes who are closer to Your Majesty, the foolish brother heard that the Wei Military Department is an upright person, and he is also deeply respected by His Majesty, and he is also proficient in the art of war and strategy, he must know the hardships between you and the Marquis of Yinshan, if he is willing to write a book to help solve it, then the pressure on the brother-in-law is much less......"

Yuan Kun's official position is not high, and he can't help, but after all, he is familiar with the officialdom pattern, so he instructed Li Xin to find more powerful people to help.

The Western Army's theft and sale of enamel equipment began to circulate two or three months ago, but the Western Regions Mountain is far away, and the news is not real, so no one cares, and it is okay to discuss it occasionally, the changes in Xianyang in Beijing are too great, and the Great Qin is even bigger, and there are different news of all sizes appearing all over the world every day, and this kind of thing is not of much interest to the people, so it was quickly forgotten in the corner, and the people who care about this matter are only Feng Quji, Meng Yi and the first emperor, the top bosses.

And today, with the return of Li Xin, a vigorous ceremony of sacrificing prisoners ended without a hitch, and this matter will soon become a hot topic of discussion among the people of Xianyang.

In fact, in the eyes of many officials, this matter can be big or small, but the final way and result still depend on the attitude of the first emperor.

And the attitude of the first emperor has a lot to do with the attitude of the princes and princes of the three provinces and six ministries that he relied on.

"It's a pity that the Marquis of Qinghe has already left Beijing, if my brother-in-law returns to Beijing half a month earlier, there may be a turning point in this matter...... Yuan Kun sighed slightly and shook his head.

Li Xin couldn't help but smile bitterly, from the end of February to the end of February, after returning to Dunhuang in mid-March, he hurriedly set off, escorting tens of thousands of people to walk nearly 6,000 miles, and along the way to eat, drink and Lazar arrangements, it took less than two months to arrive in Xianyang, and hundreds of prisoners died of exhaustion and illness along the way, but who knew that it would be such a helpless and messy ending.

"I have just talked to Feng Xiang and Dr. Meng, but neither of them is willing to mention the resale of enamel, although I haven't inquired about the Ministry of Soldiers, but I'm afraid it will not help, you are in the Ministry of Industry, and you are in charge of the Academy of Sciences, and you are familiar with the Qinghe Marquis a good official, is there a way to introduce you to a person who can speak in front of His Majesty?"

Li Xin is in a hurry to go to the doctor, and other princes and princes can't count on it, but the people in the Qinghe Marquis faction are all reformers and doers who are relatively easy to talk to, if they can find a few people to help explain even a sentence or two in the court, maybe this matter can still turn around.

Because although these people are not in high positions, their identities are clear, and almost all of them are labeled as the Marquis of Qinghe, once someone speaks, not only the civil and military officials have to be treated with caution, but even the emperor may show mercy.

It doesn't matter if the official is dismissed, as long as he doesn't take the title, the Li Xin family will have a time to rise in the future, but once he wins the title or emigrates out of Beijing, the Li family will be completely finished.

Li Xin's situation now looks inferior to Yinshan Hou Jianghu.

At least the Jiang family and the Qinghe Marquis have a very close relationship, and the entire court knows very well that the matter of Zhao Zhe was that the Jiang family forged a shocking case in order to save Chen Xu's life, and this kindness Qinghe Hou has never forgotten.

Later, Jiang Pu was transferred to Beijing, Jiang Heng Jiangbei Pavilion official position, and then Jiangbei Pavilion's daughter was buried in his own cemetery in the name of his fiancée, and Jiang did not hesitate to take risks to offend Tongwu Marquis Wang Ben and Wucheng Marquis Wang Li, and completely poked out the Yanmen Pass, Wang Ben then died of illness, Wang Li was idle at home by the first emperor, and Jiang Chutian was promoted to become the guard of Yanmen Pass, adding another middle and senior general to the Jiang family.

The story of the Marquis of Qinghe and the Marquis of Wucheng had already spread all over the world, and the newspapers had also comprehensively reported the beginning and end of the Yanmen Pass incident, and these newspapers had been sent by messengers to various places in the border passes, and Li Xin naturally knew about it for a long time.

At that time, Li Xin was still in the barracks and invited a group of generals and staff members to read the newspaper together, sighing and even gloating about the tragic ending of the Marquis of Wucheng, but he didn't expect that the so-called people were watching the sky, and they would fall into the dung pit if they were too happy.

Retribution came too quickly, like a tornado, and in the blink of an eye it fell on his own head.

The Jiang clan has the support of all the clansmen in the civil and military officialdom, but Li Xin is alone.

Therefore, in Li Xin's view, if someone wants to top the cylinder this time, he must be the only one.

The Mengshi Jiang clan will regard him as the best pot master in order to break the pot, and the official hat can just satisfy the appetite of the first emperor, and can also block the mouth of the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military forces.

"There are only a few important officials close to the Marquis of Qinghe, and the biggest official position is Chen Ping, the secretary of the general affairs of the newspaper, the chief official of the Sanpin Administration, and the identity of the secretary of the Central Secretary is also prominent enough, and he has won the trust of His Majesty, followed by Zhang Cang, vice president of the Academy of Sciences, Hu Kuan, vice president of the College of Engineering, An Yuliang, vice president of the College of Liberal Arts, Xu Fu, president of the Health Center, and Sun Shujiong, director of the experimental factory of the Academy of Sciences and secretary of the Academy of Sciences, ......"

Yuan Kun snapped his fingers and said all the big names around Chen Xu side by side, and then after thinking about it, he said: "Now that the Marquis of Qinghe is not in Jingshi, it is estimated that many things are not very willing for these people to get involved, I know the general manager Sun Shujiong better, but this person does not care about politics, I am afraid that it will be useless to find him......"

"It's come to this, I still have to try, please ask my uncle to help me make an appointment with Sun Shujiong, the sooner the better!" Li Xin sat up and began to get dressed.

"It's okay, the foolish brother will go back and ask someone to arrange it as soon as possible, and the brother-in-law will go home and wait for the news!" Yuan Kun also jumped off the massage table, and the two quickly left the physiotherapy hall together.

Yuan Kun's speed was still very fast, and the news came less than half an hour after Li Xin returned home, Sun Shujiong promised to meet Li Xin, and the place was about to be in a restaurant, and the time was the end of the unitary hour.

At this time, it was already the end of the Shen period, and it was only an hour before the banquet, but Li Xin was restless at home like an ant on an iron pot, and after walking back and forth for nearly an hour, he saw that the sky had darkened, and quickly asked the guards to lead the way and ride straight to the restaurant.

This is a newly repaired restaurant, called the Eight Immortal Pavilion, reinforced concrete frame, up and down three floors, the walls, doors and windows are all brick and wood structure, the ground is also pasted with tiles, the carved beams and paintings are magnificent, and the time is also the most lively time for the dinner, because it is the street, the candle lamp of the glass lampshade hanging in front of the door reflects the street in front of the door as bright as day, the three-story restaurant is even more brilliant singing and dancing, the sound of eating and drinking, punching, laughing and scolding continues to come out, it can be seen that this restaurant is indeed very hot business.

On the side of the Eight Immortals Pavilion is a courtyard, and at this time, the four-wheeled carriages of various styles are almost full, and dozens of horses are densely tied to the stables and tethered horse piles.

Accompanied by several domestic servants, Li Xin rode into the courtyard at a gallop, turned over and dismounted, threw the whip to the servants, and began to look around.

I haven't been in the capital for three years, and I almost don't know each other when I come back this time, this Eight Immortals Pavilion has never heard of it before, and the only thing I've heard of is a kind of wine called Drunken Eight Immortals.

"Eh, a few guest officers, there are no vacancies in the restaurant today, please find another place to eat......" A man in uniform hurriedly walked over from the side door of the restaurant to say hello.

"Choking~" A guard put his waist knife out of the sheath and rested on the man's neck and shouted viciously: "Could it be that you are blind, Di Daohou dares to scold and drive away in front of you!" ”

"Huh~!?" The man was frightened and knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly, "It turned out that Di Daohou was coming, the villain has eyes and doesn't know the nobles, please surround my life!" ”

"Hmph, it seems that Ben Hou has not been in Beijing for a few years, and many people have forgotten about Ben Hou!" Li Xin's face turned black and snorted coldly.

"Don't dare, don't dare, the villain really didn't recognize it as Master Hou, and please forgive me!" The man crawled on the ground in horror, not daring to look at Li Xin at all.

Since ancient times, there is a difference between respect and inferiority, the old and the young are orderly, Di Daohou is a veteran nobleman of Daqin, this title has been passed down for two generations, no one in Xianyang knows it, not to mention that Li Xin conquered the Xiongnu Yueshi in the Six Kingdoms, and today he just escorted tens of thousands of captives back to Beijing, how the upper echelons treated Li Xin I don't know, but Li Xin's reputation among the people is still very high, although the backstage of the Eight Immortal Pavilion is strong, but it is impossible to tolerate a low-level steward to offend a noble Marquis of Great Qin, if it is known by the boss behind the scenes, it is estimated that his job will be gone in an instant. may also be sent to see the official in the name of colliding with the marquis.

"Ben Hou is here to invite friends to a banquet tonight, I have booked a private room, take Ben Hou there!" Li Xin didn't bother to say a word to this kind of low-level person, if he couldn't handle his own affairs now, he would definitely be worse than this guy in the future.

"Yes, yes, please Hou Ye!" The man trembled and got up, trembling and leading the way, and after entering the restaurant, he asked a few words at the lobby service desk, and immediately a lobby manager wearing a uniform with the nameplate of the supervisor hurriedly came to meet Li Xin, and then personally accompanied him to the third floor to the private room that Yuan Kun had booked.
