Chapter 47: The Last Obstruction of the Northern Expedition

At this point, the emperor can actually hand over the jobs given to Li Xin by the emperor. After all, the things that the Ministry of War have to prepare are already prepared, and the people responsible for sending them to the north are not from the Ministry of War. Therefore, as long as the things are handed over to Zhongheng, this matter has nothing to do with Li Xin.

However, the emperor still pulled Li Xin and spoke for a while, mainly discussing some details of the Northern Expedition and how far the Zhong family should fight.

There is one most important thing.

That is to be famous for your master.

All Central Plains dynasties have played a decent role. No dynasty will take the initiative to conquer the alien races. They are often attacked by invasion or unbearable, and will start a large-scale battle.

Of course, this premise is that China is unified. When the dynasties were founded, they had to eat all the land within the pass, so that they could sit in the world with peace of mind and turn from offensive to defensive moments in one or two generations.

Now that the Great Jin Dynasty is expedition to the north, some of them have become famous.

Because the Yuwen tribes in the north have been quite peaceful these years, even if there is conflict, they will make small fuss, and they have never attacked the northern border in large numbers. Especially during the Chengde Dynasty, the Yuwen tribes sent an envoy to pay tribute to the Emperor Chengde 1,000 sheep and 200 cows, expressing their willingness to praise the Great Jin Dynasty.

So now, it is very unreasonable for Dajin to attack the north. After all, according to the thinking of the descendants of the Xia Dynasty, it would be unrighteous if others did not take action first and if you take the initiative to attack others.

This is a problem that must be solved, otherwise Emperor Taikang would not be very good when remembered in history books in the future.

The emperor coughed and said, "Chang'an, the imperial court cannot lead to Wuming, but the Yuwen tribes have not had any evil in recent decades. How should this problem be solved?"

Marquis Jing'an had been thinking about the northern expedition for several years. He naturally thought about this question. He answered without hesitation and lowered his head and said, "Your Majesty, there are no evil things in the Yuwen tribes. Let's create some evil things for them."

The emperor glanced at Li Xin and said with a smile: "What does Chang'an mean?"

Li Xin smiled and said, "In recent years, I have been paying attention to the situation in the north. The four Yuwen tribes, which have been fighting each other in the past few decades, have not had any major conflicts in recent years. It can be seen that they either reached a tacit understanding or someone unified the four Yuwen tribes. In the near future, this situation will not pose any threat to the court, but over time, the Yuwen tribes will inevitably grow and become the Yuwen tribes. At that time, the once powerful cavalry of the Northern Zhou Dynasty will likely reappear. At this time, the imperial court conquered the Yuwen tribes, not to do unjust things, but to prepare for the future."

Although the word "Ren" is the best character in the world, this character can be used to educate the people and make the people in the world be good people and do good deeds, but this character cannot be used to govern the country. The Central Plains dynasty in Li Xin's world was more or less burdened by this character.

The alien races in the north were severely damaged and even dispersed, the Central Plains Dynasty no longer pursued the victory, and would not even take advantage of the dangers of others and threw them in the north. After decades, they would become evil wolves again. If the Central Plains Dynasty's national strength was weak, it would become a major disaster.

"Take abdication in others" should be the basic skill of every politician, but officials in the Confucian dynasty were familiar with their own people's use of this trick, but rarely used it to deal with the Gentiles.

Speaking of this, Li Xin continued: "So, this northern expedition is very necessary. As for the fact that the master is famous, it is very easy. Your Majesty can send people to the north, impersonate Yuwen tribes to attack Yunzhou City, or impersonate Yuwen tribes to rob the border of our Great Jin. These things are very simple. As soon as things happen, my Great Jin tribes will become famous."

As long as you want to find a problem, it is still very simple to find a reason. This is the reason why a superpower in later generations can even do evil everywhere under the guise of "human rights".

As long as your fist is big enough and your voice is loud enough, no one dares to refute anything you say.

The emperor's eyes lit up, he smiled and said, "You have the means to Chang'an. I understand how to do this."

The Marquis of Jing'an bowed his head and said, "This is the duty of this minister."

After the two of them talked about Yunzhou City for a while, Li Xin withdrew from Weiyang Palace and left the Imperial City.

After Li Xin withdrew, the emperor's eyes were still a little hot. After all, what Li Xin said just now helped him solve the last two problems of the Northern Expedition.

That is the actual reason and the apparent reason for the Northern Expedition.

Li Xin has already given both of these reasons.

The emperor took a deep breath and said, "I want to issue an edict to Zong Xuantong."

………………………………………

Li Xin, who returned to the Jing'an Marquis Mansion, only rested for about an hour, and his family came to report that it was the eldest son of the Zhong family who asked for a visit.

Li Xin has always attached great importance to the Zong family. Not to mention the size issue, just in terms of friendship, the Zong family has some good relationship with him. After all, Li Xin's sword Aokiji was also a gift from the head of the Zong family, Zong Xuantong.

Calculate the time, the old man who left the capital in the first year of Taikang never returned to Beijing, and they haven't seen each other for seven or eight years.

When Zhong Heng came, Li Xin immediately changed into a regular dress and met this eldest son in the living room.

After seeing Li Xin, Zhong Heng bowed in a regular manner: "Zhongheng, I have met Mr. Li."

Zhong Heng is now the general of the Imperial City Military and Ma Si. He should have been the fourth rank, but due to his family background, he mentioned the third rank, but his rank is still the general's rank.

This grade is already extremely prominent when he was just thirty years old, but in front of the somewhat unreasonable Marquis of Jing'an, Zhong Heng's grade is not enough, so he practices official etiquette in a regular manner.

Li Xin pulled his sleeve and said with a smile: "What is Mr. Zhong doing? Our two families have a good relationship and there is no need to practice official etiquette."

Zhong Heng nodded, and under the traction of Li Xin, he sat down on the chair in the living room. Then he lowered his head and said, "Marty, I just received the imperial edict from the palace. The imperial edict said that I would escort the armies of the Ministry of War and send them to Yunzhou City..."

Li Xin smiled and said, "Isn't this a good thing? Zhong hasn't gone to Yunzhou City for a long time, so he happened to go and see General Zhong."

Zhong Heng smiled and said, "It's indeed a good thing, but the imperial edict said that I would take this batch of weapons from the Marquis of Jing'an, and I would take the people from the Yulin Guard's Right Camp to escort it. I was a little confused, thinking that I would come to the Marquis of Marquis's Mansion to get things, so I might as well come here to visit first, so as not to bring people over tomorrow."

"The things are all on the street on the back door of my house. The people from Yulinwei are still watching. Mr. Zhong comes here tomorrow and just go and collect it."

As the two of them spoke, the family of the Marquis of Jing'an had already served Zhongheng tea. After taking a sip of tea, the eldest son of Zhong hesitated and said, "To be honest, I have to ask the Marquis for some things."

Li Xin narrowed his eyes and smiled, "Just-sama"

"Then I'll just say it."
