Just when Liu Juesi thought that the monarch and the minister were going to top the cow again, Zhang Sizhi asked to see him from outside the palace, and the old man also took sick leave for several days, but looking at his energetic appearance, where was he half sick.

Zhu Youzhen knew himself too well as a teacher, and he wouldn't show up until he was completely sure, so he asked Liu Juesi to describe the topic and let him come and get an idea. Liu Juesi didn't think that Zhang Sizhi could come up with a very good idea, and the emperor's bottom line was very clear, not only to marry and exempt Li Xin from the crime of indecent manner, but also to seal Li Xin to show his favor. It's obviously impossible. Even if Fan Fucui has made it clear that as long as he can think of a way to get the best of both worlds without violating the ancestral system, he can agree. It may not be easy to reconcile this contradiction.

The old man coughed a few times before he said: "According to the old minister's opinion, Li Xinshang is the county lord, and Li Xin can also be promoted to the knighthood!" Speaking of this, he actually coughed, and several cabinet ministers, including Zhu Youzhen, were confused.

After coughing for a while, Zhang Sizhi continued: "Don't be in a hurry to deny it, why don't you reverse the order of the two things!" ”

Swap it out? Liu Juesi suddenly realized, yes, first add officials to the knighthood, let Li Xin lead the troops to fight, and then it is not too late to make him hand over power when he marries in the future, so it is really not against the ancestral system for a long time. Everyone had a feeling that the old man really had some crooked ideas.

The happiest thing is Zhu Youzhen, the son of the big tomorrow, who has been arguing for several days and has been arguing for several troublesome things in a few words, and he naturally praised his teacher.

Liu Juesi began to feel that something was wrong, it turned out that he had unknowingly become a pawn of the old guy, and finally paved the way for others. But think about it from another angle, if you don't use this chess piece, I'm afraid your situation is not as good as it is now!

Since there is no objection from both sides, the matter is settled, and the decree is only to be announced at a later date.

As a result, the will of rewarding Li Xin was finally approved by the cabinet, and not only that, but the specification of the reward was also raised by one notch compared to before.

Worship the former general of the west, wear the general seal, serve as the chief soldier of Shanxi Town, add the commander of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, and concurrently serve as the chief soldier of the three guards.

This time, none of the courtiers jumped out to object, and everyone knew that no matter how high the reward was given to Li Xin now, as long as he became the county lord in the future, these things would have to be spit out, and to put it bluntly, these things were just a passer-by for Li Xin.

Zhu Youzhen rewarded Li Xinyu and felt that it was not enough, and he also got some blood for the uncle of the King of Jin, so he chose his living concubine to be crowned the king of the county, and at the same time gave his only beloved daughter Zhu Huiyu a decree and canonized the title, which was the lord of Xinle!

As for why Zhu Huiyu was awarded the title of Xinle County Lord, the courtiers also knew it, Li Xin's hometown was a native of Xinle, Beizhili, and the purpose of awarding this title was obvious. Although the daughter of the prince of the Ming Dynasty is called the county lord, the daughter of the Son of Heaven is very different in terms of treatment.

Zhu You sealed a son and a daughter of the King of Jin, which was equivalent to blocking the mouth of the King of Jin.

But no one in the court asked the opinion of King Jin on this matter, and even his subordinates in Beijing only informed him after deciding. Several envoys of the King of Jin made a fuss in the capital for a while, scolding Xue Guoguan and others for betraying them, otherwise why would they stop like this?

However, the matter was a foregone conclusion, so I had to roll up and go back to Taiyuan.

After the restoration of Taiyuan, Li Xin asked the quasi-emperor to send someone to Datong via Ningwu to take the king of Jin back to Taiyuan, and they knew the news so that they could return to Taiyuan directly.

The canonization of a son and a daughter of the King of Jin arrived in Taiyuan together with the Qin messenger who crowned Li Xin, unfortunately, Li Xin was busy forming a new army in several states and counties south of Taiyuan, and had not been in Taiyuan for some days, and the main commander of Taiyuan was a seven-rank petty official named Tian Fuzhen under his command. So the messenger had no choice but to continue on the road to find Li Xin.

And the king of Jin was very dissatisfied with the treatment of the court and the emperor, he wanted justice for his beloved daughter, even if it was the least apology, but how could he, the prince, be qualified to argue with the court, and a few days ago he was still panicking like a lost dog, if Li Xin hadn't sent someone to pick him up, he would still have an uncertain future in Datong.

It's just that he has wronged his hard-working daughter who is so desperate!

Speaking of which, the person who contributed the most to the King of Jin's complaint was surnamed Lu, called Lu Sizhen, and he was a thrifty matter for the Shanxi judge. When he heard about this, he tried his best to instigate the king of Jin to sue Li Xin, and the king of Jin was also extremely angry after hearing the report of the guards, so he was hot-headed and handed a complaint to the cabinet hall, and by the time he regained his composure and wanted to recover it, it was too late.

Because if so, he has neglected the most important point, and he must show the world the matter of his beloved female envoys? King Jin regretted that he had ignored such a strict problem in his hot head.

Therefore, now he resents both that Lu Sizhen and Li Xin, if Li Xin doesn't do such a thing that is inferior to a pig and a dog, or if Huiyu simply doesn't wake up, she won't do this thing that damages her reputation.

What's even worse is that it is rumored that Li Xinqi is like a fierce god, with a black face and fangs, and he is angry and eats human flesh raw. If Hui Yu marries this kind of person...... He didn't dare to think about it anymore.

The hour is not early, and it is time to make rules again. The Jin Palace's palace was tossed by Liu Guoneng enough, and the palace maids were all driven out of the palace after being ruined, and the eunuchs were scattered, and there were not a few left, and the rough servants recruited by the heart did everything not go well, and the people who supported the daily affairs of the palace were a few old eunuchs and palace maids who had been fleeing with them. Therefore, it is necessary to set rules for these newcomers every day, so that they can go against the sky one by one.

The first of these is that no one is allowed to talk about a lawsuit with a few words to the county lord, this matter has been kept secret by the king of Jin, and all the eunuchs and palace maids who can get close to the county lord have also been strictly explained, and they must be kept tight-lipped.

……

Shanxi was not completely pacified at this time, and the only places to be recovered were Taiyuan Mansion and Fenzhou Qinzhou in Liaozhou, and a large number of thieves were still raging in Pingyang Mansion and Zezhou in the south.

Including the Daizhou to Pingxingguan generation in the north of Taiyuan Prefecture, there are still 100,000 thieves eyeing the army. Therefore, the current situation in Taiyuan City is not as optimistic as the imperial court imagined, especially Yang Sichang's refusal to send troops to clean up the situation, missing the best opportunity to eliminate the thieves, and some of the thieves gathered in the area of Pingyang Mansion, although the combat effectiveness is bad, but it is still a destructive force that cannot be ignored.

It was under this circumstance that Li Xin decided to form a new army in Shanxi Town. Of course, the new army naturally took the Three Guards Army as a model, and formed ten battalions at one time; of course, the formation of the army was hasty and numerous, and its training strength was somewhat insufficient, and its combat effectiveness was not the same as that of the Three Guards. Of course, it is enough to use them as a local town defense force, and when there is a war, they can also cooperate with the main force of the Three Guards Army, and this kind of hierarchical army structure is also relatively flexible to use.

There are also the three brothers of the wall, Li Xin also fulfilled his promise, the three of them led a battalion of men and horses, the battalion officer Yu Hai, and the two little brothers were deputies. Although the people in charge were burned, they were already high-ranking military attaches officially appointed by the imperial court. Everywhere they went, the people shouted one by one, looking in awe and awe, and this feeling made them really useful.

This was unthinkable before, during the training of the battalions, they joked in private, Yu Jinyin asked Yu Hai: "Brother Dog, if King Chuang has the upper hand again, what can we do?" ”

Chen Qianhu blurted out: "What else can I do, whoever is strong will follow whom, whoever has a big fist will rely on whom, you know?" ”

Yu Haize's face was full of contempt, and he smiled: "Say that you are short-sighted, and you are not wronged at all, with my brother, I observe, our Li Dashuai is a god in the sky, and since he was born, he has lost a hundred battles, and the thief can be strong and horizontal in front of Yang Sichang and others, in front of our Dashuai, there is only one word he can do!" ”

Yu Jinyin is the thousand households who had a holiday with Liu Guineng, and after listening to what Brother Goudan said, he hurriedly asked: "Which word?" ”

"Cowardice!"

The three brothers laughed, and Yu Hai added: "So you all give me a little smarter, don't blame my brother for not teaching you at that time!" ”

Yu Jinyin pouted, "Come on, Brother Dog, you can't count the number of times you have turned back on the water on both hands, and you can educate us!" ”

Yu Hai's eyes widened, and he scolded: "You know a fart, my brother just surrendered many times before he realized this truth." ”

"Shhh......h

The defense areas of the other nine battalions had already been assigned, and the three brothers alone had not yet belonged, and several people could not figure out Li Xin's intentions for a while.

In fact, Li Xin trained these ten battalions, mainly to defend the surrounding areas of Taiyuan, mainly three, Qingyuan, Taigu, Yuci, three battalions in each county, supplemented by the people. In the end, there was only one battalion left, that is, the battalion of the three brothers of the wall, and the situation of this battalion was quite special, and half of them were their old brothers.

Therefore, Li Xin really doesn't dare to let them guard the place now, in case he sells the city without fighting again, it is not a joke. He wants to take these people with him and temper them well, these people are veterans of the rest of their lives, and they can get twice the result with half the effort if they are used well.

He had just received a letter from Gao Shiming, and the messenger had arrived in Shanxi, and he had been looking for it all the way, but he had to return to Taiyuan and asked him to hurry back to receive the order.

And there is also a great joy to tell him, what is the specific matter, but it is sold. Li Xin didn't have time to think about it, and returned to Taiyuan overnight with his people.
