"The auxiliary machine came to my Lanzhou, I don't know why, it won't be my father-in-law who asked you to congratulate me on pacifying the northwest!" Li Xin suddenly said with a smile. The father-in-law he was talking about was naturally Li Yuan.

The eldest grandson Wuji's face froze, a wry smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and said: "Why should the Metropolitan Governor be like this, Tang Guogong may have something wrong in the past, but he has no ill will towards the Metropolitan Governor, and it is even more so now." ”

"Can you know the Qihui Dao people?" Li Xin shook his head and said.

"Daoist Qihui?" The eldest grandson Wuji's face changed suddenly, Li Xin's killing of Qihui Daoist had already spread throughout Guanzhong, Guanzhong was boiling, and Changsun Wuji knew that Qihui Daoist and Li Yuan were friends, why were the Qihui Daoists in Zhongnan Mountain in Liangzhou, and Changsun Wuji had to consider the problem here, and now it was raised by Li Xin, and Changsun Wuji knew that Qihui Daoist came to Liangzhou probably had a lot to do with Li Yuan.

"Auxiliary, don't say some things, say it so as not to embarrass you and me." Li Xin waved his hand, and suddenly said: "However, if I were you, I wouldn't go back to Li Shimin, you are by Li Shimin's side and don't say when you will be able to come out, such a chance is probably very small, Li Yuan is Li Jiancheng below, and then Li Shimin." Li Yuan attaches great importance to his son-in-law and bloodline, do you think that in the future, Tang Guogong or other titles will be Li Shimin's turn? Or is Li Shimin also like me and set up another door? I don't think you have the guts. Auxiliary, what do you think? ”

The Governor laughed. The eldest grandson Wuji looked at Li Xin with a complicated expression, in fact, he also knew this situation, especially recently, with the great increase in Li Xin's power, there was no one in the entire northwest who could resist Li Xin's troops, although Li Xin had not raised troops yet, but everyone knew that Li Xin's ambition had been exposed. It can even be said that people with a little strength in the world are silently preparing. As Li Xin's brother-in-law, he is in Li Shimin's camp, Li Shimin may believe in himself, but Li Yuan will definitely not believe in himself.

"It's not a joke, if I were Li Yuan, I shouldn't have sent you here at this time." Li Xin said lightly: "If it weren't for the sake of the innocent, you would be the same as Chai Shao, auxiliary, what do you think?" ”

"Not bad." The eldest grandson Wuji nodded and said, "Cheng Yuan is really going to go to Jingshi?" The eldest grandson Wuji showed a hint of hesitation. He called Li Xin "Chengyuan" instead of the Grand Governor, which shows that he is now speaking confidant.

"Are you worried about my background being exposed?" Li Xin looked at the eldest grandson Wuji with a smile.

"Ahem! Since Cheng Yuan knew, why did he need to go to Jingshi? The current emperor is suspicious of leading generals like you? Eldest Sun Wuji said with some concern.

"If the Emperor wants to kill me, I can't hide from it anyway, what's more, I don't have the heart to rebel, if the Emperor kills me, I'm afraid that the entire northwest will fall into the hands of the Turks in an instant. How could His Majesty the Emperor kill me? Li Xin said indifferently. In fact, he had to go, he didn't have the same good luck as Li Yuan, the entire Guanlong family supported Li Yuan, and Li Xin could only fight on his own. So it is inseparable from Yang Guang's support. He believed that as long as he had the support of an old fox like Pei Shiju, it would be absolutely difficult for Yang Guang to kill him.

The eldest grandson Wuji looked at Li Xin with a sarcastic look, Li Xin said that he had no intention of rebelling at all, but the eldest grandson Wuji did not believe it. If there was no rebellion, there would be no military affairs in the northwest, at least the northwest now has more than 50,000 troops. This has surpassed the customization given by Yang Guang back then.

"The governor of the capital is now sharp, with more than 100,000 horses under his command, the world is so big, except for the emperor, it is the people of Wagangzhai who can compare to the general." The eldest grandson Wuji said with a smile: "If before, the general said that he didn't have the heart to win, maybe some people would believe it, but now, I'm afraid that no one in the government and the opposition can believe it, what does the general think?" ”

Li Xin just shook his head with a smile, and then said: "The auxiliary machine is here now, don't leave for the time being, I believe that His Majesty the Emperor will come soon, and at that time, the auxiliary machine will set off with me!" ”

"Then Mowgli just obeys orders." The eldest grandson Wuji happened to want to see a qiē in Lanzhou, and it was impossible for him to leave at this time, so he simply agreed.

"Okay, then let's go to the house to rest for a while, and then welcome the arrival of the auxiliary machine in the evening." Li Xin said with a smile: "Although the northwest land is a desolate place and lacks talented people, Du Ruhui and Chu Suiliang in my house are also rare talents, and the auxiliary machine can talk about poetry and Taoism with them in their spare time." ”

"Then thank you, Governor." The eldest grandson Wuji smiled bitterly, he knew that it was impossible for Li Xin to let himself go, maybe in Li Xin's eyes, he would definitely become Li Xin's subordinate in the future, so he would be so relieved and bold to let his subordinates contact.

Li Xin laughed, he was very happy with the acquaintance of the eldest grandson Wuji, he knew that a smart person like the eldest grandson Wuji, since he found out that he was in Lanzhou, knew what he could see, what could not be seen, what could be said, and what could not be said.

Sure enough, that night, Li Xin held a banquet in the Dadu Governor's Mansion to welcome the arrival of the eldest grandson Wuji, Du Ruhui, Chu Suiliang and others were present, although the number was relatively small, but it was a moment of talent, Cui Yuan, Cui Xiu and even Xu Jin, etc., all of whom were with the talents of the county guard, and the new Chu Liang, Liang Shuo and others were also rare experts in government affairs. The eldest grandson Wuji looked at the talents under Li Xin's command, and he was also a little shocked in his heart, I don't know when, Li Xin's command already has its own team, which can be said to be full-fledged.

The banquet did not disperse until two hours, Li Xin did not go to be warm with Li Zhiwan, but went to Pei Shiju's mansion, Pei Shiju personally welcomed Li Xin to the study, and Pei Fu let people serve fragrant tea before retreating.

Li Xin glanced at Pei Fu, his gaze was taken back, he hadn't seen each other for more than a year, I have to say that Pei Fu is getting more and more beautiful, and he has a seductive atmosphere, and he doesn't know how Pei Shiju cultivated his granddaughter.

"The Metropolitan Governor came late at night, so he must have something important!" Pei Shiju's eyes narrowed, and he looked at Li Xin's gaze in his eyes, and a mysterious smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, but said with a smile.

"Recently, there is a rumor in Daxing City that is arising, and I suspect that His Majesty the Emperor may have an edict for me to go to Daxing soon." Li Xin said in a low voice: "I don't know why the boss taught me? ”

"Dare to ask if the Metropolitan Governor has anything to do with the King of Lanling?" Pei Shiju thought for a while and asked in a low voice.

"It's okay, does the boss think that Benhou has something to do with King Lanling?" Li Xin didn't think about it and said: "My surname is Li, and King Lanling seems to be surnamed Gao, if I have a relationship with King Lanling, how can I be here?" ”

Pei Shiju nodded, and suddenly said, "I heard that the old lady's surname is Gao?" It's the same surname as King Lanling, I don't know if Hou Ye knows about it? ”

"I don't know my mother's background, maybe there is, maybe not, what does the old man think?" Li Xin hesitated for a while and said: "The boss has been in officialdom for a long time, but he knows about the Jingshi. ”

"What does Master Hou think of Xiao Fu'er?" Pei Shiju suddenly looked outside and said.

"The country is fragrant, the beauty of the world." Li Xin said without thinking.

"The old man is already old, and what he is worried about is Xiao Fu." Pei Shiju glanced at Li Xin and said softly: "Who does the Metropolitan Governor think is worthy of this woman?" ”

"After Li Xin and the others came back from Jingshi, they asked people to give a dowry, what does the boss think?" Li Xin hesitated for a while, and Fang arched his hand and said, "Please also ask grandpa to teach me!" ”

"Master Hou has a saying that you have to give up this sentence before you want to." Pei Shiju was very happy in his heart, touched his beard and said: "The emperor is suspicious by nature, even if there are no rumors in Beijing, the emperor will definitely doubt you, so if you want to protect the interests of the northwest, the first thing is to give up what you have in your hands." In this way, the emperor can believe in you. ”

"What does Grandpa mean? Let me give up my military power? Li Xin hesitated and said, "Military power is the foundation of my life, how can I give it up lightly?" "Power comes out of the barrel of a gun, this is the truth throughout the ages, and Li Xin even wants to firmly grasp the military power in his hands, how can he give it up lightly.

"Master Hou, where is the military power in your hands? In the hands of your generals, in the hands of your military academy, Hou Ye's 100,000 army is painstakingly managed by Hou Ye, Hou Ye is brave, how can it be compared to the emperor's holy decree? Pei Shiju said seriously: "This is the northwest, no matter who comes, who is the governor of the capital, as long as it is in the northwest, it is the Hou Ye who has the final say." ”

"Then who can come to the Northwest?" Li Xin nodded and said. He believed that Li Jing, Duan Qi, Su Dingfang and others would definitely support him firmly. It's just a matter of who you want to come.

"If Master Hou goes, he must hand over the position of the governor of the capital, ask for the deputy protector, and be in charge of the military." Pei Shiju persuaded him: "If the emperor asks who can be the governor of the capital, the prince must not say that the position of the governor of the capital should be held by the royal family, the emperor is suspicious, and neither the prince nor the grandson is a good candidate." As for the rest, the old man will help Hou Ye to complete it. ”

Li Xin nodded, although he didn't know how Pei Shiju would help him, but since he said so, he must have a plan, but it was just not good to say it to himself.

"The emperor was besieged in Yanmen this time, and the old man guessed that the emperor would not stay in Daxing for long, and soon after, he would go to Jiangnan, where his foundation was, but unfortunately, that place would also be the place of death." Pei Shiju sighed, his eyes showing a complicated color. Li Xin was shocked that in history, Yang Guang died in Jiangnan. I didn't expect Pei Shiju, an old fox, to even guess this, which is really amazing. (To be continued......)
