Chapter 63: Li Xin's Suggestion

After arriving in Changgu, I found an old man and asked us a little and went straight to the Longxi Hou Mansion.

The Li family is also a prominent family here, and although Li Xin experienced a big defeat, Yingzheng did not have the habit of liquidating the heroes, and did not deprive Li Xin of the title of Marquis of Longxi.

When I arrived at the Longxi Hou Mansion, it was already dark.

The lights are still bright in front of the Longxi Hou Mansion, the autumn harvest has just ended, and many people are transporting the harvested corn to the mansion.

Seeing us coming, the porter hurriedly stepped forward and bowed: "Ladies and gentlemen, what is your business?" ”

In his heart, he was curious, the officials of Mo Dao Longxi County, even the officials at the county guard level, had come to visit their master, how could these people have never seen them. But looking at this guard and dress, it shouldn't be an ordinary person.

The group turned over and dismounted, and Meng He said coldly: "This is the residence of the Marquis of Longxi?" ”

When the porter heard this, this person spoke unceremoniously, and I am afraid that the origin is not ordinary.

"Back to my lord, my lord is the Marquis of Longxi, I don't know who the lord is?"

Meng He said: "My family has something important to see the Marquis of Longxi, go to Tongyu." ”

The porter saw that Meng He did not report his home, and I beside me didn't say a word, so I hurriedly bowed.

"The villain is going to pass through."

With that, he turned around and entered the house.

I nodded slightly. Judging from the performance of this porter, Li Xinzhi's family is acceptable, and he doesn't think he will do those things that bully men and women on weekdays.

At this time, Li Xin was coaxing his little grandson in the hall, and the family was happy, laughing and laughing.

The porter entered the door and saluted: "Master, there is an adult outside the door who asks to see the master." ”

Li Xin didn't care, he had been in Changgu for more than ten years, and he had always been kind to people, and he was very familiar with those officials, and many people were his friends.

While teasing the little grandson, he said happily: "Who is it? ”

"I don't know, the person who came only said that he asked to see the master, and the villain asked his identity, but the person who came did not tell him. It's just that it seems that the attendants and clothes of the people are not ordinary people. ”

Li Xin raised his head, handed his grandson to his wife, and tidied up his clothes.

"Come with me out and see."

The youngest son next to him hurriedly got up and said, "The person who came did not show his identity, so he must not be a high-ranking person." He Lao's father goes, and the child goes. ”

Li Xin waved his hand: "Remember, don't despise anyone. ”

With that, he raised his legs and walked out.

When I got to the door, I saw the young man in front of me, but I didn't care. is so young, even if it is a person from the government, he will not be a big official. But further back, I saw dozens of elite horsemen standing behind me.

Li Xin was taken aback, isn't this the clothing of the Xianyang Forbidden Army? I was also an official in Xianyang, so I naturally saw the Miyagi Forbidden Army.

Li Xin hurriedly stepped forward and bowed down and said, "Two adults, Li Xin, the Marquis of Longxi, is also, I don't know what the adults are doing?" ”

I smiled slightly and saluted back: "I am the emperor's messenger, and I am here on business." Seeing that it was getting late, I wanted to spend the night here, I don't know if it is convenient for Longxi Hou? ”

Li Xinzhong was very strange, he had been back to Longxi for more than ten years, whether it was Yingzheng or the newly enthroned second emperor, he had never sent people to the vicinity of Changgu, and today this messenger came quite strangely.

On his face, he said: "It turned out to be the emperor's messenger, disrespectful." I'll order someone to clean up the house, but there are too many guards from adults, so I'm afraid there won't be so many rooms......"

I waved my hand: "They live with the rest of us." ”

Li Xin asked: "Then I will be wronged by the escort of the lord, and go to the mansion to rest." ”

Meng He and I followed Li Xin into the hall, and when I saw this warm scene, I was a little sad for a while.

Li Xin stepped forward and introduced: "This is my wife and my child, my eldest son and my little grandson, who has just been born, which makes the adults laugh." ”

I smiled and said, "The Marquis of Longxi lives like a fairy." ”

Li Xin laughed: "When people are old, they just want their children and grandchildren to be on their knees, and they have nothing else to ask for." ”

He turned to the crowd and said, "You stand down first, and I will sit down with the adults for a while." ”

Everyone saluted and withdrew, and Li Xin and I sat down.

After Li Xin asked his subordinates to serve tea, he arched his hand and said, "I don't know what to call adults?" ”

At this time, there were only three of me in the hall, and I didn't hide it: "Fusu." ”

Li Xin nodded: "Oh, help ......"

When the words came to his lips, his eyes suddenly widened and he pointed at me in disbelief: "You are ......"

Then he hurriedly withdrew his outstretched hand, got up and saluted: "I don't know that Your Majesty is coming, I miss the welcome, I hope Your Majesty will forgive me." ”

I waved my hand: "Longxi Hou doesn't need to be polite, I am here to spend the night, you are the master here, please sit." ”

Li Xin eased his nerves and sat down slowly: "Your Majesty." ”

I looked at Li Xin a little uneasy, and said with relief: "I have some things to do in Longxi, and now that the matter is done, passing by Longxi County, I remembered that the Marquis of Longxi is here, so I came to disturb it." ”

Li Xinzheng said: "Your Majesty can come here, the humble house is shining." ”

Without any more politeness, I went straight to the point: "How is Longxi Hou here?" ”

Li Xin replied cautiously: "Now I can't believe in an old man, and Emperor Lai is here to live for a long time, and everything is fine." ”

I nodded: "I came here today to spend the night, and both of them also have something I want to ask the Marquis of Longxi to come up with ideas for me. ”

Li Xin hurriedly replied: "Xin has not been in the court for a long time, and he is not very clear about today's affairs, lest His Majesty be trapped by Xin's words." ”

I laughed, "It's right to make small talk." ”

"Believe in everything, Your Majesty, please speak."

I thought for a moment and said: "Now that the Xiongnu have repeatedly invaded the border passes, although the Great Wall has been built, I intend to completely eliminate the Xiongnu trouble. I heard that the Marquis of Longxi is good at surprise attacks with soldiers, and if he fights against the Huns, he will definitely have a miraculous effect. ”

"But the court and the central government are now all defensive generals, and I originally wanted the Marquis of Longxi to lead the troops again, but I can't bear to make you charge into battle at such an age. Therefore, I want to know, what good generals do Longxi Hou recommend who are good at riding and fighting? ”

Li Xin smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty, the reason why Xin died here is precisely because Xin was young and vigorous, and he used his troops to underestimate the enemy's reckless behavior, which led to a great defeat in attacking Chu. Although the emperor did not punish the letter, he trusted to live up to the emperor's trust, and after the letter returned to Longxi to cultivate and work after General Wang Ben defeated Yanqi. Where do you dare to make any more suggestions to Your Majesty? ”

I shook my head: "Hou Mo of Longxi wants to be arrogant. If it weren't for Changping Jun to rebel during the attack on Chu, you wouldn't have to go back to Yingchen, resulting in being intercepted by the Chu army before and after, and you returned defeated. ”

Li Nobunaga sighed.

"In any case, the emperor valued the letter so much that he handed over the letter to an army of 200,000 to attack Chu, but the letter was all buried in Chu. To this day, whenever I think of this, my heart is like a knife, and I feel deeply guilty about the emperor and those dead soldiers. ”

I smiled casually: "The past has become a thing of the past, and Longxi Hou doesn't have to think about it." ”

Li Xin arched his hand.

"Thank you, Your Majesty. It's just that the generals who Xin knows well are basically as old as Xin and can't ride horses, let alone lead the army to fight. However, if Your Majesty wants to find someone who is good at riding and fighting, I believe that there is no need to stick to the existing generals, and famous generals have always been tested in battle. Didn't the filial piety change of the law back then also boldly use newcomers, and finally cast the invincible Qin army? ”

I nodded: "What Longxi Hou said is reasonable. ”

Restricted by the fact that I came from later generations and am more familiar with history, I always want to find those famous generals who have become generals or have been recorded in history. Li Xin is right, the times create heroes, it's time to train some new people.

I got up and said, "I am taught, the Marquis of Longxi should rest early, and I will leave early tomorrow morning." In addition, the Marquis of Longxi should not reveal my identity. ”

Li Xin bowed: "Obey Your Majesty's orders." ”
