In Xinle County, Li Xin has lived in this strange hometown for more than seven days, and a group of village elders have come to meet this proud son of the clan who has not been born for 500 years. When anyone surnamed Li talks about Li Thirteen, everyone has a face full of pride and pride.

However, to Li Xin's regret, both his parents died in this life, and there was only one brother who had not yet met, and it was said that he also became a general under Yang Sichang.

Every day, he is not only social, but after all, his hometown is no better than those civil and military officials who intend to tie up. Many people surnamed Li walked dozens of miles on foot, so that he could eat a bite of mutton steamed by his own hands, although it was only a mouthful of mutton, but in Li Xin's heart, it was far better than the jade jewelry sent by local officials and gentry.

Li Xin receives and entertains no less than 100 people in this kind of township every day, and often at the end of the day, his mouth is dry and tired, lying on the bed, and he can almost fall asleep with his head upside down.

On the evening of this day, a large group of men and horses from the north suddenly drove into a remote mountain village.

Li Xin was woken up from his sleep, "Zhenyu Hou, there is an angel from outside!" ”

"Who's coming?" Li Xin opened his eyes and asked in a daze.

"Angel of the Message!"

Hearing this, Li Xin bounced up from the bed. The angel arrived in the village in the evening, indicating that something must have happened in the capital.

To tell the truth, since he hit this world, Li Xin has not been idle for a day, if he is sent out of the court by Queen Zhou in the name of returning to his hometown to worship his ancestors, he will be here for a day and night without contact with military and political affairs, although he is tired of receiving villagers every day and is like a dead dog, but the psychological side is always empty, as if something is missing.

Li Xin first ordered people to invite the angels into the courtyard where he lived, and then put on court clothes, cleaned up their clothes, and went to the main hall to receive the order.

When he arrived at the main hall, Li Xin found that the messenger was not the eunuch in the palace as usual, but the newly appointed scholar with his own newly entered the cabinet, the champion Lang Wei Zaode.

Sure enough, something big happened in the imperial court. After Wei Zaode finished reciting the holy decree with a solemn body, he hurriedly changed into a smile again, and stepped forward in a few steps to help Li Xin, who was kneeling on the ground.

"Hurry up, please get up, ice on the ground in winter, don't let the cold soak your legs and feet."

Wei Zaode's attitude was courteous, his tone was humble, and he seemed to be very close and sincere to Li Xin, but Li Xin, who had seen a lot of people of all colors, clearly felt that this was also a smiling and poisonous person.

However, then again, reaching out and not hitting the smiling person, since Wei Zaode put on a close look, Li Xin also acted patiently with him.

Jiannu invaded the south and knocked on the pass, Li Xin was not worried, today's Jiannu has long been far from being comparable to Chongzhen's eleventh year, and has become a weak bear who is strong on the outside and has nothing to show on the surface.

The Three Guards Army can't use all the main forces, as long as a partial division is dispatched, they can be eighty percent sure that they will be beaten all over the ground.

"The Marquis of Zhenyu, please go on the road with the lower officials quickly, His Royal Highness is in a hurry, and the cabinet is also a mess, waiting for you to make an idea!"

Li Xinxin said, what's the use of waiting for your own ideas? He always has a thousand abilities on a single horse, and can he conjure a million heroes? At the critical point, he had to have soldiers in his hands to retreat from the enemy, and at this time he thought of the Beijing camp under Gu Pingyu.

However, it is a pity that Gu Pingyu did not put his mind on the three major battalions of Beijing during the past few years in Beijing, so the three major battalions of Beijing are still the vulnerable old Ming army, and it may not be difficult to hold Beijing City, but it is wishful thinking to expect them to retreat from the enemy.

Li Xin is only worried now that the reinforcements are coming slowly, and the Jiannu will plunder south from Gyeonggi, and the achievements of the past three or five years of cultivation will be ruined.

"When will the soldiers of the Yang Pavilion Department arrive in Beijing?"

Wei Zaode's expression suddenly turned to anger, and he had a lot of derogatory words about Yang Sichang.

"Yang Sichang is a wolf, and he refuses to send troops because he is sick, which breaks His Highness's heart!"

This news shocked Li Xin, in his impression, no matter how bastard the Wenchen of the Ming Dynasty was, no one dared to support the army and respect himself, could it be that Yang Sichang ate the bear's heart and leopard gall? Dare to risk the world's condemnation?

In fact, Li Xin didn't realize that since the moment Zhu Youzhen, the son of heaven, fell, the world of the Ming Dynasty was no longer yesterday's tomorrow. Yang Sichang just keenly captured this. Of course, in addition to Yang Sichang, there is another person who also keenly captures this. He is King Shen who has been leading troops in Shaanxi.

However, on the contrary to Yang Sichang, King Shen not only did not support his own troops, but was the first to raise the banner of King Qin, crossed the Yellow River from Yanfu in northern Shaanxi, entered Mengmen Pass, and arrived at Lishi in Shanxi. It coincided with the dispatch of the new army in Shanxi, and the army of King Shen went to Taiyuan Mansion along the way, and then went east to prepare to enter Beizhili out of Jingcheng Pass.

On the day Li Xin returned to Beijing with Wei Zaode, he heard this shocking and imaginative news.

As a vassal prince, King Shen has violated the imperial court system by leading the troops, but he has been active in the Shaanxi and Gansu regions, far away from the hinterland of the Central Plains, and the imperial court itself has been anxious.

I don't want this person to play the banner of King Qin today, and he marched all the way to the Beijing Division, and his marching speed was so fast that Li Xin was speechless. This is already Sima Zhao's heart, everyone knows it!

After getting the report of King Shen sending troops to King Qin, Queen Zhou was even more panicked, dealing with foreign enemies such as the Manchu Dynasty and the Eastern Captives, she at least had something to rely on, after all, it was not the first time that the Tartars knocked on the pass, and there were precedents to follow on how to deal with them. But King Shen's ascension to the north as the king of Qin in the capacity of the clan is very different, which clearly shows that he has a posture of going to Beijing to fight for the throne. You must know that the emperor in the troubled times is strong and strong, even if King Shen does not dare to blatantly usurp the throne now, as long as he takes the opportunity to enter Beijing to control the government, and then in ten or eight years, won't he and the prince become prisoners at his disposal?

This hypothetical made Queen Zhou feel cold all over her body, and in comparison, although she also had a lot of fears about Li Xin, the marquis of the town who was born as a horse thief, but under the power of two evils, the truth of taking the lesser of them is still clear.

"Go and ask, when will the Marquis of Zhenyu return to Beijing!"

As soon as the words fell, a chamberlain and eunuch ran in out of breath.

"Coming, coming, the Marquis of Zhenyu is waiting for an audience outside the Donghua Gate!"

Queen Zhou's eyes lit up, and it seemed that her confidence had returned to her body.

"Quick, see you!"

After conveying her will, Empress Zhou hurriedly ordered the eunuch to go to the palace to invite the prince, and whenever she met with important ministers, she would definitely take her son with her, and this time was of course no exception.

A moment later, the prince rubbed his eyes and appeared in the warm pavilion of the Wenhua Palace
