Li Xin nodded, talked with Pei Shiju for a while and left, and did not ask Pei Shiju, an old fox, what kind of method would help him, but he believed that Pei Shiju would definitely help him, otherwise he would not use Pei Fu to marry him to confuse himself.

In the next few days, Li Xin will either stay in Lanzhou to deal with the backlog of official affairs, and prepare more for the test that Lanzhou will face after leaving Lanzhou, this time Yang Guang may not let himself return to Lanzhou easily.

Sometimes they will also go to meet Princess Nanyang, and the two will also visit the places of interest in Lanzhou, famous rivers and mountains, although they abide by etiquette, but Li Xin still feels a trace of strangeness from Princess Nanyang's eyes, and sometimes they also take Yao Muxue and Li Zhiwan and others to travel, but it is very relaxed.

"From today on, Lanzhou's political affairs will be handled by the upper study, and those who can enter the upper study are Pei Shiju, Du Ruhui, Chu Suiliang, Cui Yuan and Liang Shuo." Li Xin beckoned Pei Shiju and the others into the study on this day, looked around and said: "The emperor's decree is already on the way, add me as the Duke of Liangguo, Shangzhuguo, and General Zuotunwei." ”

"I didn't expect it to come so quickly." After Du Ruhui and the others listened, not only did they not have any discouragement and frustration in their hearts, but they were full of fighting spirit, Li Xin set up a study, although it was just a title, but it was enough to explain Li Xin's thoughts, and everyone was naturally very happy.

"I'm afraid I won't simply leave Jingshi this time, and the matter of Liangzhou will be left to you." Li Xin looked at the team he had built, and felt a little proud in his heart, most of the people in this era are outstanding talents of this era, and now they are all for their own use, plus Liangzhou is already in his own hands, at this time, he can be regarded as controlling one side.

"Guogong, please rest assured, we will definitely take things seriously. Serve the country. Pei Shiju sighed in his heart, his efforts have finally paid off, and he has long known the holy decree sent by the imperial court, after hearing the news, he is even happier than Li Xin, although this is Yang Guangming's strategy to secretly descend and transfer Li Xin away from Liangzhou, but he believes that Liangzhou is still Li Xin's Liangzhou, even if someone replaces the position of Liangzhou governor, Li Jing's army is still outside.

"Now it is not easy to have too much grain and grass in Lanzhou. Li Jingjun still has to reserve more grain and grass. Li Xin said with a nonchalant look.

"The subordinates let people transfer some of the grain and grass." Cui Yuan's eyes rolled and said with a smile. There was a burst of laughter.

"Okay, okay, in this way, the matter of Liangzhou can be regarded as having a charter, after I leave, the things of immigration, tuntian, business, and road building will be handed over to you, and the training and suppression of bandits will be handed over to Li Jing. Shen Qianqiu followed me. Li Xin Zhengrong said, although the study is high. However, the affairs of the army are still in Li Jing's hands, and the separation of military and government is Li Xin's most basic policy.

"Subordinates obey." Everyone stood up from the brocade bench and saluted respectfully. This is the real way of kings and ministers, not like before, and everyone salutes very casually, this is the establishment.

"Thank you." Li Xin also stood up. He bowed to the crowd.

Only then did everyone retreat, and they did not mention the matter of Liangzhou according to Li Xin's instructions. But Li Xin went to the backyard, although there were Yao Muxue and Li Zhiwan in the backyard. But what should be explained still needs to be explained, and what should be soothed still needs to be soothed. In the distant Jingshi, he already has a son, although Yao Muxue and Li Zhiwan have nothing to do on the surface, they are still a little depressed in their hearts. Li Xin, an old cow, still has to work hard these days.

Five days later, the imperial court really came to the angel, it was none other than Li Xin's acquaintance Song He, which made Li Xin a lot more relaxed, Song He was also smiling, and announced the decree to Li Xin, and it was indeed as the intelligence said, adding Li Xin as the Duke of Liangguo, Shangzhu Guo and Zuotunwei General, and finally at the end of the holy decree, it was Li Xin who entered Beijing to report on his work.

"Congratulations to Guogong, congratulations to Guogong." Song He said with a smile: "I don't know when Guogong will leave?" The emperor is eager to see the prince. ”

"Since that's the case, let's set off tomorrow, my father-in-law has traveled a long way, and I will rest today, and Li Xin will also have a good life." Li Xin said with a smile.

"Gonggong Song, how is the emperor's dragon body now?" In the evening, Li Xin entered Song He's room and said with a smile.

"The emperor is in good health, but he has some nightmares for a while." Song He glanced around, and saw that there was no one around, so he whispered: "After all, I was frightened in Yanmen, so I want to come for a while." The emperor is preparing to visit Yangzhou, and is now building a dragon boat, and perhaps soon, Guogong will also be able to go to Yangzhou. ”

Li Xin's face changed when he heard this, Yangzhou is not a good place, how did Yang Guang die, that is, he died in Yangzhou, Li Xin still knows this, from Yangzhou to Liangzhou, that is the real ten thousand miles away, Li Xin also wants to go to Yangzhou, but it will definitely not be now. It's just that Song He's words reveal something? Li Xin's eyes rolled.

"Grand Duke, the Northwest seems to be under your control, but it is not! Someone wrote to the emperor that your prestige in the northwest is too high, and it is not appropriate to stay in the northwest, and it is best to send someone from the imperial family to sit in the northwest. Song He's voice was much lower, and he said: "Recently, whether it is Daxing in Beijing or Luoyang in the eastern capital, it has been rumored that Guogong is the king of Lanling, and the emperor will inevitably be a little suspicious of the general. ”

"If Li Xin is really the king of Lanling, how can he be like this, and the position of a prince is still desperately killed from the battlefield?" Li Xin shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Everyone in the world knows that I am from the side branch of the Li family of Zhao County, even my mother is just a maidservant, if it is really the king of Lanling, why should I be bullied by Shouyang?" ”

"The emperor is also skeptical, and even suspects that someone is doing this on purpose." Song He said quietly: "Does the prince know that the emperor has not yet set up a crown prince?" I'm afraid some people can't wait. So if you want to transfer Guogong out of the northwest and let yourself come, what will happen in the future, it can be regarded as a little confident! ”

Li Xin was stunned when he heard this, and suddenly thought of Pei Shiju's words, thinking about it, it must be Pei Shiju who plays the Son of Heaven, and only Pei Shiju will have this ability, this skill, but is he for me, or for other people? In the fate of the family, in the face of power, sacrificing a granddaughter is nothing! Li Xin thought that he should guard against the other party at this time, so as not to be sold by this old fox.

"When Guogong returns to Luoyang, you will know, what is called a difficult state affair!" Song He suddenly sighed and said: "His Majesty the Emperor returned to the Eastern Capital not long ago, and saw that there were many people on Suzaku Street who were looking at the emperor's appearance, and immediately sighed and said Is there still a lot of people?" What does Guogong think this sentence means? Song He looked at Li Xin and asked.

Li Xin's face moved, when Yang Xuangan rebelled, he also heard that Yang Guang also made a statement, saying that there are not many people, and if there are too many, they will gather people to steal, and it is precisely because of this that Li Xin's immigration plan has been implemented, but he didn't expect Yang Guang to make such a statement again at this time, which made Li Xin a little curious, what did Yang Guang mean by saying this? Could it be that unlike in history, after the third conquest of Goguryeo, what could not be done again?

"Could it be that the emperor is sure that the last general's immigration will not be successful?" Li Xin looked at Song He with a smile and said.

Guogong laughed. Song He suddenly whispered: "If the emperor asks the prince this time, who in the royal family can sit in the northwest, the prince must not answer, you must know that the night before I left, the emperor even had eight royal daughters!" ”

Li Xin's face suddenly changed, how old is Yang Guang now, he is already in his forties, and he is still even the eighth daughter, what kind of concept is this, or it is the medicine of the tiger and wolf, or the temperament is like this, no matter what day it is, it can only explain one problem, the emperor thinks that he is still very young, so he did not determine the position of the crown prince. Pei Shiju was guessing at the beginning, but when he came to Song He, it was a real thing.

"Thank you father-in-law for reminding me, otherwise, Li Xin's head will be lost." Li Xin was sweating profusely, and couldn't help but shake his head and said, "This thing you want to do for the imperial court is really difficult!" ”

"Why should the general be like this, His Majesty the Emperor actually doesn't have much suspicion of the general, and the queen mother has great trust in the general, hehe, I heard that Princess Nanyang is still in Lanzhou?" Song He suddenly smiled mysteriously at Li Xin.

Li Xin's face showed a slight embarrassment, and it seemed that he might have caused a joke in Jingshi again. At the moment, he said: "The princess's car will soon set off for the east." ”

"By the way, when Guogong leaves the northwest, he must arrange the affairs of the northwest properly." Song He suddenly said: "There is a person coming to the northwest recently, and it will only take me about a day or two to drive." ”

"Who's coming?" Li Xin asked curiously. Song Henai is a close confidant of the emperor, and the person he values so much must not be a simple person.

"Xiao Yu. Today's national uncle. Song He frowned and said, "He asked himself to be the guard of Xihai County." This person is upright, but he actually doesn't have a good impression of Guogong! I heard that the tuntian and indoctrination that Guogong has implemented in the northwest over the years are mainly common people, and His Majesty the Emperor was originally going to demote him to Hechi, but he didn't do it, so he came to Xihai County. It may not be that there is no monitoring of the general's every move in the northwest! ”

"I really didn't expect that a great god would come." Li Xin shook his head and smiled bitterly, he knew that some of his policies in the northwest would definitely cause the hatred of the big families, but he didn't expect Xiao Yu to come too, this is the emperor's in-law, what good thing is there to come to the northwest? Li Xin felt his head grow. (To be continued......)
