MTL - Unparalleled Concubine-v2 Chapter 1024 I knew earlier

   Chapter 1024 I knew it earlier

Over the years, Li Xin has traveled from south to north, moved his family from Beijing to Yongzhou, and moved from Yongzhou to Jincheng. Although he never told the nine princesses any questions about government affairs, no matter what, the nine princesses also came from a royal family. The princess, in any case, can see some clues.

During the Taikang years, when Li Xin and his family moved to Yongzhou, the nine princesses just thought that there was a little conflict between her husband and the emperor, but her family lived in Yongzhou for several years, and even moved directly last year. When they came to live in Jincheng in the southwest, the nine princesses naturally saw that something was wrong.

   She just didn't say it.

   Now, this lady, who has been married to Li Xin for more than ten years, finally asked this sentence in person.

The two of them got married in the first year of Taikang. When they got married, one was seventeen and the other was sixteen. It has been almost fifteen years since the fifth year of Yuanzhao. This year, Li Xin is thirty-two years old. The Ninth Princess is also thirty-one years old.

   They spent half of their lives together.

   After hearing the words of the Ninth Princess, Li Xin sighed slightly. He took the Ninth Princess's hand and walked into his room. After the two sat down, Li Xin nodded silently.

   "Forced by the times, it is indeed to the point of rebellion."

   Jiu Princess lowered her head slightly and said slowly, "So, Seventh Brother didn't wrong you."

Li Xin frowned, glanced at the Ninth Princess, and said with a wry smile: "In the old days, I can only say that I and His Royal Highness King Wei have our own thoughts. All the dirty work in the early years of Taikang was done by me, and I offended you. I don’t know how many people there are, but in the end, our family didn’t get what we deserved. If I didn’t make a little preparation, I was finally crossed the river and demolished the bridge. With your face, my wife, maybe there will be no accident. But in the future, the younger generation will definitely suffer a lot.”

In the early years of Taikang, the emperor's position was unstable, and there was no one available around him, so he could only let Li Xin help him to seize power desperately. Starting from the two battalions of the forbidden army, Li Xin offended Pei Jin and all of Pei Jin's elders. Subordinates, later the emperor wanted to cut down the generals of the generals in Beijing, and Li Xin came forward to do it again, offending all the generals including the Ye family.

   To expel the third prince and the fourth prince from Beijing, it was also Li Xin who came forward and offended the clan.

In the six months from the first year of Taikang to the second year of Taikang, Li Xin offended an unknown number of people. At that time, he knew in his heart that once the Marquis of Jing'an lost power, the people he had offended would definitely come to him. Take a bite.

   At that time, Emperor Taikang, who had just ascended to the position with Yulinwei, became suspicious of Yulinwei, and even abandoned Yulinwei.

   It was also at that time that Li Xinxin began to have a sense of crisis, so that in the second year of the Westward Expedition, he began to deploy in the southwest.

   Now more than ten years have passed. Looking back on the past, it is difficult to tell who is right and who is wrong between Li Xin and Emperor Taikang. Maybe the contradiction between the two people is due to misunderstanding, maybe not.

   As Li Xin said, each has his own mind.

   Since that time, the conflict between Li Xin and the Emperor Taikang, or the conflict with the royal family, has been planted. Now this seed has finally taken root and sprouted, and the conflict between the two sides has also grown to the point of being out of control.

   Jiu Princess stretched out her hand to hold Li Xin's rough palm, her eyes were a little red, and she said, "Seventh brother has already left, since the things of the year are not clear, let's not talk about it..."

   She looked up at Li Xin, her voice a little weak.

   "After all these years, no matter what you do, I have never asked you or cared about you."

   "You haven't been at home for the past few months. I have inquired about a lot of things in the Southwest with Sixteen. Sixteen said that Southwest is now almost the same as Nanshu in the past..."

   The nine princesses held Li Xin's hand with some pleading in her tone.

   "Since this is the case, then our family will stay in the southwest for a lifetime. If we don't go to the capital, there is no need to meet... the imperial court."

  The nine princesses are the youngest daughter of the emperor of Chengde and the royal family.

   Li Xin rebelled, to her, it was like her husband had a fight with her own family, and she had to fight to the end, and the Ninth Princess was the one caught in the middle.

  Although both her father and brother have gone, only her mother is left in the capital, but no matter what, her surname is Ji after all, she can't bear to look at her husband, and she really fights with her mother's family.

  Li Xin took her hand and sighed slightly.

   "Ma'am, up to now, it's not entirely up to me to decide..."

  A leader of an interest group, what he does is often driven by the interest group, not all by himself.

   Just like Li Shen back then.

The same is true of Li Xin now. You must know that as early as the Taikang period, Zhao Jia, Mu Ying and others in the southwest had euphemistically mentioned to Li Xin that they were going to rebel. Later, after Li Xin and the court broke down, this kind of The tendency to rebel is even more pronounced in the southwest.

   It was so obvious that even Li Xin could not easily change it.

   No matter what, Li Xin is still an ordinary person after all.

If in the early years of Taikang, the emperor sitting on the throne could put down some small stomachs and treat Li Xin with sincerity, Li Xin would most likely be determined to work in the Ji family, the big landlord's family, for a lifetime, honestly. The uncle of the Ji family, the Marquis of Jing'an of Dajin.

If he had a choice now, he wouldn't want to take the risk of leading troops out of Shu. Just like the Nine Princesses said, the southwest has become a country of its own, and Li Xinda can be the emperor in the southwest. In recent decades, most of the Jin Dynasty have taken the southwest. There is no other way, and the Ji family may send envoys over to officially recognize the establishment of the Southwest.

   However, this idea is too idealistic.

  The interior of the southwest is not monolithic.

  Mu Ying's son is already the king of Shu in the southwest. In name, the southwest is under the rule of the palace of the king of Shu. If Li Xin stays in the southwest to become emperor, where will he put the palace of the king of Shu?

   Even if Mu Ying himself has no opinion, what will the Mu family behind him think?

  As for Zhao Jia, it is even more obvious. This envoy from the southwest, his lifelong dream is to manage the world, not the southwest. What he thinks in his mind is to go to the stage to worship the prime minister and bring peace to the world.

  If Li Xin suddenly loses his fighting spirit now and wants to establish a country in the southwest, Zhao Jia will have to pick his sons and go home to farm in two or three years at most.

   As for another force, Li Shuo…

Li Shuo is a quiet person on weekdays, but he will also have his own mind. If the southwest is independent, there will be conflicts between him and the Mu family. Moreover, Li Shuo, who has settled down for many years, has ambitions in his heart. Not necessarily younger than Zhao Jia.

   Up and down the southwest, preparations have been made for five or six years to leave Shu.

   At this time, if there is no reason for Li Xin to say a word, they will die and go back to their respective homes obediently.

   Princess Jiu's eyes were red, she wiped her tears with her sleeves, then took Li Xin's hand, and didn't speak for a long time.

  Li Xin patted her hand lightly and said, "Madam, don't think so much, take care of the children in Jincheng, and leave the rest to me."

  Nine Princesses reached out and wiped away the tears again, and her voice was a little choked up.

   "If I had known today, I wouldn't have followed Seventh Brother to your house to eat mutton skewers."

  Li Xin took her hand and smiled softly.

   "If I had known that year, I would have stopped selling charcoal at the Kokichi Building."
