Emperor Jianwen’s lesson tells us that when you want to weaken a group of power, you must start with the most powerful ones, so that you can be unstoppable. Otherwise, the group of power will start to join the group and form a great resistance.

And among the generals in the capital, the three families are naturally the biggest to bear the brunt.

There are also family members in the Marquis of Pingnan, Duke Chen’s Mansion.

As long as these three families do not withstand, the generals in the capital will not dare to cause any storm.

The Zhong family is not bad. The elite troops of the Zhong family are in Yunzhou City, and not many people stay in the capital. Moreover, Zhong Xuantong is very obedient to the court. As long as he takes out the emperor's edict, there will generally be no problem.

The Ye family is not bad. The Ye family was originally one of the beneficiaries of the new dynasty, and ideological work is not difficult to understand. Only the Pingnan Marquis Mansion is the most difficult to do.

Pingnan Hou himself is a warlord and has no sense of security in the capital. It depends entirely on these more than a thousand divisions. It is very difficult to make them cut by half at once.

But by the same token, as long as you can handle the Pingnan Marquis Mansion, this matter will be done.

In the afternoon, Li Xin and others came to the main entrance of Pingnan Marquis' Mansion.

At this time, there were still white banners hanging on the door of the Marquis of Pingnan, and the whole mansion was covered with white white.

This is the second time in ten days that Li Xin has brought Yulin Guard to the gate of the Marquis of Pingnan.

From Li Zhijie to Li Shen, the Pingnan Marquis Mansion has never been slapped in the face like this for more than 30 years.

Even when Li Shen was a hostage in the capital, no one dared to attack the face of the Nan Hou Mansion like this.

Li Xin visited again.

Even though Li Shen was very well-educated, his face was not very good at this time. He looked at Li Xin coldly with a dark face in the main hall of the Marquis of Pingnan Mansion.

"Mr. Li, you and I are all officials in the same court no matter what. You should not do anything at all."

Li Xin stood at the door of the main hall and did not walk in. Instead, he took out the document sent by the new emperor from his sleeve and said calmly: "According to the emperor's order, he brought the courts of the nobles in the capital to immediately reduce the troops. The Duke's Mansion shall not exceed four hundred people, the Duke's Mansion shall not exceed three hundred people, and the remaining generals shall not exceed one hundred and fifty people."

Speaking of this, Li Xin looked up at Pingnan Hou.

"According to Tianmujian, there are at least 1,400 troops in the Marquis of Pingnan. Should Marquis Li reduce the troops by himself, or should the court take action?"

Li Shen slapped the table hard.

"The Ye family is restless, which does not mean that we are restless. What does Your Majesty mean?"

Li Xin glanced at Pingnan Hou with a faint look, then said, "Not only Pingnan Hou Mansion, the Ye family and the Zhong family must reduce their troops. Marquis Li is ready. The people from Jingzhao Mansion will come to count the number tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. Before the New Year, if the troops of Pingnan Hou Mansion exceed more than 300, they will be punished with... deliberate rebellion!"

Li Shen had calmed down at this moment. He looked up at the young marquis in front of him and asked, "The troops of the generals in the capital are not only guarding their private houses. If there is any change in the capital, these troops raised by the generals can help protect the capital. During the time of Emperor Wen of the Great Jin Dynasty, the bandits in the Northern Zhou Dynasty knocked on the capital, and the troops of the generals jointly defended the capital. Could your Majesty have forgotten?"

Emperor Wen was not the father of Emperor Wu, but the great-grandfather of Emperor Wu. At that time, shortly after the founding of the Great Jin Kingdom, the national strength was weak and almost destroyed by the Northern Zhou Dynasty. When the capital was in crisis, it was with these generals' troops to protect the capital.

Therefore, even if the powerful emperor is like Emperor Wu, they have not abolished the troops of these generals and have been kept to this day. After all, this is equivalent to these generals and raising a reserve army for the Dajin.

Li Xin took a deep breath and said, "This is not enough to worry about Marquis Li. His Majesty has his own judgment. Marquis Li only needs to cooperate with Jingzhao Mansion and reduce his troops as soon as possible."

As he said that, Li Xin turned around and left.

"But Mr. Li would better not cooperate with Jingzhao Mansion, so I might be able to avenge my personal grudges with your mansion at this time."

After leaving the Pingnan Marquis Mansion, Li Xin brought a few more jars of wine and went to the Duke Chen Mansion. Old Man Ye was prepared and nodded happily.

In the old man's small yard, Li Xin sat down and asked: "Honey, after the Beijing General's Division was cut, the defense was indeed more empty. Husband thought, what would Your Majesty do?"

Ye Sheng looked up and took a sip of wine, then glanced at Li Xin.

"you do not know?"

Li Xin shook his head and said, "I don't know."

Old man Ye took another sip of wine and praised the good wine. He smiled at Li Xin: "Your Majesty is going to form Qianniu Guard."

Li Xin's face changed slightly.

"Qianniuwei?"

Ye Sheng smiled: "It was not Qianniuwei during the reign of Emperor Wu, but another yamen similar to the Yulinwei, named after Qianniuwei."

During the reign of Emperor Wu, the Yulin Guard was divided into two parts. The one stationed in the palace was called Qianniu Guard, who was responsible for the attendant of the Imperial Sword Guard. It was only after the Chengde Dynasty that it was renamed the Inner Guard.

Now, the emperor wants to reorganize Qianniu Guards. One of the purposes is naturally to supplement the defense of the capital and fill the emptiness after the reduction of troops. The more important purpose is to... check and balance the Yulin Guards!

After the previous palace changes, the Ye family's troops naturally made great efforts, but the main force was the Yulin Guard. In other words, the Yulin Guard's personal leadership may not be in the hands of the emperor.

So the new emperor naturally wanted to form another yamen similar to the Yulin Guard to check and balance the Yulin Guard.

This is much better than the two battalions of the Yulin Guard who are hindering each other.

Li Xin sighed secretly in his heart.

The former King of Wei has become emperor for a few days and has become more and more clever.

One looked up at Old Man Ye and asked, "How did the old Duke know?"

"Your Majesty wants Ye Mao to be the Central Army General of Qianniu Guards."

Ye Mao was the small Duke of the Duke of Chen's Mansion and the future heir of the Ye family. Although he was young and had no achievements, just relying on his identity alone would be enough for him to be the General of the Central Army.

Ye Sheng looked at Li Xin with a smile, and then smiled: "I asked Ye Mao to refuse. This child is not very mature. It's okay to go to help others. It's not suitable to be the leader, otherwise something will definitely happen."

Li Xin closed his eyes, digested the information, and stood up and bent towards Ye Sheng and said, "Thank you, my husband, for your advice. I will go to Zhongshuai's place, so I won't bother you."

Ye Sheng looked at Li Xin with a smile.

"You feel uncomfortable?"

Li Xin will naturally feel uncomfortable!

He followed His Highness the King of Wei and finally got things done. As a result, he was doing everything he offended, and Ye Mao had no need to do anything, so he could do it in the same position as him.

Moreover, this Qianniu Guard...

It was clearly a disgusting Yulinwei!

Li Xin took a deep breath and said, "This is the case with the emperor's mind. Although I am a little uncomfortable, it is understandable that it will be better in a few days."

"If it's just a Qianniu Guard, that's nothing. After all, you are now the Marquis of Jing'an, the Minister of War of the Court. Whether it's the Yulin Guard or the Qianniu Guard, it's a little bit small for you..."

Ye Sheng's face was calm.

"But your Majesty asks you to come forward and be this evil man and offend these generals in the capital. You will feel uncomfortable, right?"

Ye Sheng stood up, reached out and patted Li Xin on the shoulder, and sighed a long time.

"That's how you do things for the emperor, and you'll get a little angry."

As he said, the old man said quietly: "I was trying to destroy Northern Zhou, but I was locked in the capital by trying every means. How angry was I in my heart?"

"Have it done, let it go..."
