MTL - Unparalleled Concubine-v2 Chapter 1148 human nature

   Chapter 1148 Human nature is so

   Naturally, it is impossible to stop here.

   Since this butcher's knife has been raised high, it is impossible to put it down gently, otherwise it will not only make others feel that Li Xin is weak and deceitful, but also make more different voices within the Southwest Group.

The reason why Zhao Jia and the other "Big Three in Southwest China" dared to push Li Xin to this point is that they knew exactly the reason. They knew very well that Li Xin alone would be struggling to block the will of the entire Southwest Group. It's okay for the Ji family to be honest. Once the Ji family is killed, it is impossible for this murderous knife to stop.

Li Xin took his daughter-in-law's hand and said silently: "Madam, no one in this world kills me, and the reason I can't kill is that I am the son-in-law of the Ji family, but the Southwest Army is not the son-in-law of the Ji family. They have been in Beijing for half a year, and they have not committed any crimes against the capital, and so far, none of the Ji family has died in the hands of the Southwest Army for no reason."

Li Xin said silently: "There is no such a scene when any force enters the capital. Even if the vassal king of the Ji family rebels and successfully enters the capital, they will kill with a knife, and they will kill many, many people. , I've been able to get to the point where ... it's taken a lot of pressure."

If the Southwest Army was brought up by Li Xin himself, and all the generals and officers in the army were promoted by himself, it would not matter if the pressure was greater, but since the Taikang period, Li Xin was the "remote control" of the Southwest The army, at the beginning, used the Mu family to control the Hanzhou army. When the Southwest Army was completely formed, Li Xin built a system with Zhao Jia as the commander, Mu Ying and Li Shuo to check and balance each other, and used firearms to control the overall situation. situation.

   The superstructure used to control the Southwest is quite stable, so stable that as long as Li Xin does not stand on the opposite side of the collective interests of the Southwest Group, he will always be the master of the Southwest Group.

The current contradiction is that Li Xin, or the Li family's ascension to the throne, is the biggest interest of the Southwest Group. Under this relationship of interests, it is inevitable for Li Xin and his son to ascend the throne. As a result, Li Xin himself did not To control it, the best he can do is to take a compromise method and try to change his surname, Li Ping, who has half the blood of the Ji family, to become Ji Ping and ascend the throne.

In this way, Li Xin can have an explanation for the Southwest Group, and he doesn't have to kill his wife's family. Although doing so will attract dissatisfaction within the Southwest Group, but this level of dissatisfaction, Li Xin is one People can handle it.

   But... Ji's family took action against Li Xin and his son under such a tense situation.

  Although this move did not cause actual harm to Li Xin, and even completed it under the deliberate indulgence of Zhao Jia and others, it was done.

   Ji's family wants Li Xin and his son to die!

   As such, Li Xin had to react.

Of course, facing the Ninth Princess, Li Xin could only tell him that the Ji family wanted to kill their father and son, and that Zhao Jia and others could not be involved in bringing this up to the Ninth Princess. It will settle accounts with Zhao Jia and others, and Li Xin will not be easy to deal with at that time.

Even so, the actions of Zhao Jia and others still made Li Xin a little annoyed. He could understand what the senior leaders of the Southwest Army were thinking and their demands, but no matter what the matter was, he could sit down and discuss it. , like this kind of direct "cutting first and then playing", or even adding fuel to the flames, it is clearly self-initiated, and there is even some taste of "yellow robe plus body".

  You must know that in addition to the allusion to the addition of the yellow robe, Zhao Taizu also left another famous allusion.

The nine princesses also grew up in the capital. She naturally knew the cruelty of political struggles, and she also knew that Li Xin had put in a lot of effort for herself. After hearing Li Xin's words, the princess of the Ji family was silent for a long time, and finally looked up. To his husband, he sighed silently: "Everyone in the world is the same, and they all think for their own sake. At this point, your subordinates in the southwest are not necessarily better than my seventh brother..."

   Hearing the words of the nine princesses, Li Xin was silent for a long time, and finally said silently: "Madam said yes."

   "The only difference is that now most of the initiative is still in our family's hands, and no one can kill our family."

Jiu Gongzhu's eyes were slightly red, she let go of Li Xin's hand, and whispered: "You are just thinking too much, the seventh brother may not be able to do anything to our family, and Yan'er grew up with us since childhood, and may not be right. Our home starts..."

   After saying this, she turned around and left, leaving only Li Xin's back.

   "As of now, I can't change what you want to do. I just hope you have a clear conscience..."

After   , she led Chen Shiliu's wife, Hui Niang, to walk away slowly.

  Li Xin looked at the back of the Nine Princesses and was silent for a long time.

   Finally he muttered to himself.

   "Things in this world are bad because of the word "may not be". It is too difficult to believe."

"If there is no first lesson from Master Ye, if Yu Linwei can still guard the Imperial Palace, if I hadn't offended so many people in the Taikang Dynasty, if that little brat who grew up with us could listen to what I have to say. half language..."

   "If he didn't send Yu Linwei to kill me..."

   Having said this, Li Xin shook his head slightly: "Madam is right, people always think about themselves, and I am no exception."

   After he finished speaking, he sighed slightly and walked towards the imperial city with his hands behind his back.

Using Jingzhao Mansion to get to Yong'anmen, there is a long way to go. Li Xin did not ride a horse or a carriage on the way, so he walked there on foot. When he came to the vicinity of Yong'anmen, his face was a little pale. After seeing Li Xin, General Shenwuwei immediately knelt down in front of Li Xin and kowtowed to Li Xin, "Brother, I..."

He paused, gritted his teeth and said, "Although Prime Minister Zhao called me and General Mu to know about the incident that day, I only thought that the Ji family was going to have some trouble, and I never thought that they would assassinate the elder brother and the prince. …”

   He lowered his head again, his voice trembling: "I have absolutely no other thoughts about my brother."

   Among the three giants in the southwest, Li Shuo is different from the other two.

Originally, he did not belong to the Southwest Army, but was forcibly integrated by Li Xin. Since then, his position in the Southwest Army was obviously the remnant of the Pingnan Army, but in fact, as Li Xin's brother, he He is Li Xinzai's spokesperson in the Southwest Army, and an important force for Li Xinzai to check and balance the Mu family.

   Anyone in the Southwest Army can have their own thoughts, but Li Shuo cannot.

  Li Xin looked at Li Shuo, who was kneeling on the ground, expressionless.

   "It turns out that you are too stupid, I thought it was the three of you who were going to unite and force the palace on me!"

Li Shuo's face was pale, he knelt down on Li Xin's face, bowed his head and said, "Brother, my younger brother does have the intention of letting my elder brother attack the Ji family, but if he knows that he might hurt his elder brother or the prince, the younger brother will definitely arrest those Ji family members immediately that day. , even if you use a knife with General Mu and the others, you will not hesitate!"

   "The elder brother and the son... are the foundation of the younger brother. Without the elder brother, the younger brother is rootless duckweed, at the mercy of others..."

   Li Xin put his hands on his back and gave Li Shuo a cold look.

   "Everyone has their own ideas. I don't blame you for doing so."

   "But think about it before doing something, will it hurt your feelings?"

   After saying that, Governor Li ignored Li Shuo, who was kneeling on the ground, and walked away.
