Chapter 174 The Great Jin Prime Minister

In the next few days, there will be no big noise in the capital, at least there will be no big noise in the open. After all, there are Southwest troops in and outside the city. Even if someone wants to do something, he must consider whether he can withstand the sharp blade in General Li's hand.

After the Southwest Army occupied the imperial court for ten days, everything seemed to be back on track, not much different from the Yuan Zhao Dynasty in the past, and most of the officials in the capital did not move. They were in the original position and now they were still in the same position.

The only difference is that there are many officials from the southwest in the court and the military, such as Mu Ying, the former general of the Hanzhou Army, who was ordered by the court to be named Duke of Qian and General.

Li Shuo, the general of Ningzhou Army, was inferior. He did not have a duke, but had only a first-class military marquis, and was named Peng Yuanhou.

In addition to these two, the soldiers of the Southwest Army also had rewards, but because the rewards were too complicated, Li Xin only decided on the rewards of the main generals, and the rest needed to be decided bit by bit in the future.

Of course, both Duke Qian and Hou Peng Yuan were temporarily rewarded, and Mu Ying and Li Shuo did not take it seriously. After all, in their eyes, the current situation is just a transition period. In a few years, the court will surrender to the "Southwest Group", and it is inevitable that the whole country will change its surname.

Even if Li Xin is unwilling to be the emperor, these people will force him to be the emperor. The reason is very simple. As long as Li Xin is not the emperor for a day, those of the Southwest Army, no matter how glamorous they are, in fact, are still a group of thieves.

Only when the Li family truly takes that position can they truly get rid of their traitors and become the "founding heroes" who shine in the future!

On that day, Li Xin, who was sleeping in the Jing'an Marquis' Mansion, got up early as usual. After he cleaned up briefly, he heard Mu Ying's loud voice before he could go out.

"Grandmaster, I see you are here!"

It was already winter now. Because he was afraid of the cold, Li Xin had put on his thick clothes and put on his robe. He walked out and smiled at Mu Ying who was walking towards him: "Mr. Mu came to me so early, don't know what to do?"

It is worth mentioning that the rewards of the main generals of the Southwest Army have been given up, among which four or five were named marquis and appointed as generals. Mu Ying even got the position of a duke and became one of the only two dukes in the different surnames of the Jin Dynasty. However, except for getting the position of a great commander-in-chief, Li Xin did not move any title. He is still a marquis of Jing'an, which is lower than Mu Ying's title.

Mu Ying's dark face turned slightly red, and she said embarrassedly: "Governor-in-chief, don't tease me anymore. How can I be a Duke? After the imperial court appointed me as Duke, now those who flatter in the capital are comparing me with the old Duke Chen all day long. It's so embarrassing. How can I compare with Mr. Ye?"

"Why can't it work?"

Mr. Ye’s only personal disciple, smiled: “When my master was alive, he didn’t beat the capital like Mr. Mu. If he had the courage of Mr. Mu, what is the emperor’s surname now is still unknown.”

Mu Ying waved his hand quickly and said with a smile: "Governor-in-chief, don't make fun of me, let's go quickly. Mr. You'an will not see us later, and he will also blame us for neglecting him."

After eight or nine days of travel, Zhao Jia had arrived outside the city. According to the news from there, he could enter Beijing around Chenshi.

Conquering the capital by force is only the first step, and more importantly, it is to completely control the court. If Li Xin, Mu Ying and others talk about war, it is naturally fine. However, if they want to govern the country, neither of them has much experience. Will forcibly entering the Shangshutai cause disgust among scholars? It is still a different story. It may also be counterproductive and have bad results.

Therefore, after occupying the capital for ten days, Li Xin and others did not officially enter the Shangshutai, which was the center of the dynasty, but quietly waited for Zhao Jia's arrival. For the Southwest Army Group, Zhao Jia's entry into Beijing was a very important thing.

Therefore, even Mu Ying, who was a little careless, rushed to the Jing'an Marquis Mansion early in the morning and wanted to go with Li Xin to welcome the "scheming master" in the southwest.

Speaking of this, the black-faced general smiled: "The Grand Governor also knows that these big-headed scholars are small-minded, and some are still very revengeful and cannot offend them."

Li Xin shook his head helplessly: "It doesn't matter whether you go or welcome Brother You'an. You said bad things about him behind your back. He heard it. Brother You'an might have to keep you in his account book and settle the accounts in the future."

Mu Ying's face turned dark and she smiled embarrassedly: "If you don't say it, Mr. You'an probably won't know."

If Zhao Jia took over the Shangshutai, in theory, he would be able to wear any person in the Southwest Group. Even if Li Xin, the Grand Governor's Office, had a large margin, his power was not as good as that of the Shangshutai's Prime Minister.

The two of them joked for a while, and each brought more than a dozen personal guards to ride out of the city together. Not long after waiting at the west gate of the capital, they saw a horse team running over from afar.

Zhao Jia usually takes a carriage when he goes out. After all, his body can't resist the bumps of riding a horse. However, because of this emergency, he rode a fast horse into Beijing, otherwise it would not have been possible to arrive from the southwest in seven or eight days.

Fortunately, Zhao Jia is less than forty years old this year and can still endure some hardships.

After the horse team approached, Li Xin and Mu Ying both met. Mu Ying's eyes rolled and he personally stepped forward to lead the horse for Zhao Jia. Zhao Jia quickly jumped off the horse and waved his hands repeatedly: "General Mu can't do it."

Li Xin laughed: "Brother You'an, you should call him Mr. Mu now!"

Zhao Jia was stunned for a moment, then reacted and said with a smile: "It seems that General Mu is lucky and becomes the Duke of the court so soon."

Mu Ying was so uncomfortable that she was laughed at by these two people, and waved her hand and said, "Don't make fun of me, a rough man. When I turn around, I will write a letter to the court and resign as the Duke."

Zhao Jia blinked at Mu Ying and smiled and said, "I'm afraid Mr. Mu won't be willing to bear it."

Of course Mu Ying couldn't bear to let it go.

In this world, no one will give up the Duke of the Kingdom that he has obtained. Moreover, the Duke of the Kingdom is just a springboard. After a few years, the universe will be overturned, and the Duke of the Kingdom is just a start!

Mu Hei-faced smiled silly and ignored Zhao Jia.

After making a few jokes with Mu Ying, Zhao Jia bowed his head to Li Xin in a regular manner and said, "I have seen the general, congratulations to the general for achieving great things!"

Li Xin reached out to help him up and smiled and said, "I also congratulate Brother You'an for achieving his long-lasting wish."

Li Xin reached out and pointed to the city gate behind him, and said with a smile: "After Brother You'an enters this gate, he will be the prime minister of the Great Jin."

Zhao Jia smiled and lowered his head: "I dare not take it, I can only say that I will do my best for the general."

As he said that, he looked around and asked, "Why didn't you see General Li Shuo and Li?"

"Brother You'an seems to blame Li Shuo for being rude."

General Li smiled and said, "He was injured during the war and had to lie down for a few more months. When his injury heals, he would ask him to give Brother You'an a gift to give him a greeting."

Zhao Jia smiled bitterly.
