Unparalleled Concubine

The current situation in the capital is far from stable.

The two battalions of the imperial army have not yet been taken over by Li Xin. The capital is now under the control of the "military government" of the Southwest Army. A stable new dynasty has not yet been established. At this time, we must seek stability as much as possible.There cannot be any force that can threaten the capital.

Firearms are such an uncertain force. At this time, it is necessary to ensure that only the Southwest Army family has firearms, so as to maintain the prestige of this "military government", no one else can.

Li Xin was silent for a while, looked at Ye Lin silently, and said with a wry smile: "Brother, I am not the only one in the Southwest Army, I will hand over the firearms to you now, even if they don't say it publicly, they will gossip behind their backs... "

Hearing this sentence, Ye Lin instantly understood Li Xin's meaning, and he let out a long breath: "Chang'an's words are right, it's because I don't think much about my brother."

Li Xin frowned and thought for a while, and then said: "Brother should also know that the two battalions of the imperial guards have not been fully accepted by me, and even I may not be able to order them to do anything at this moment, but if senior brother can't persuade Chong Xuan Tong, I can decide to give senior brother a forbidden army from Zhechong Mansion, as long as senior brother can move it, I will take this Zhechong Mansion to the north to explain the truth to Zhongwu."

A smile appeared on Ye Lin's face, he patted his chest, and said in a very confident tone: "In this world, there is no soldier that our Ye family can't bring."

Although this sentence is a bit arrogant, it is definitely true and cannot be true. With the huge reputation left by Ye Cheng, no matter which army is in the Ye family, there is a natural awe, as long as Ye Lin is given the power to lead troops, He may soon be able to master this Zhechong Mansion.

Li Xin cupped his hands towards Ye Lin, and said, "Today, Li Xin is a little out of control, and there is something he can't do, please forgive me."

Ye Lin shook his head again and again: "In today's situation, it's not easy for you to listen to my words in the middle of the night. Father is right, you are a person worthy of entrustment."

Ye Lin took two steps back and bowed deeply to Li Xin: "General, be careful in the capital. After this chaos is over, I will treat the general to drink at Chen Guogong's mansion."

Li Xin nodded silently, with a smile on his face: "Definitely."

This is the end of the conversation between the two brothers and sisters. It’s already past time. Li Xin has been busy all day, and now he can’t keep his eyes open. After sending Ye Lin away, he returned to his residence and fell down. Then sleep.

Early the next morning, when it was still dark, Li Xin was abruptly pulled out of bed by his habit of getting up early. He changed into a suit of normal clothes, washed up briefly, and then left Jing'an Hou Mansion, heading towards the imperial palace. to the city.

At this time, although the overall situation of the capital has been decided, there are countless hidden dangers hidden under this overall situation. Li Xin has many things to be busy with, and he needs to clean up these hidden dangers one by one.

The first is to reorganize the Imperial Guard.

When the Hanzhou army entered the imperial city that day, they almost slaughtered the three guards in front of them. Now the camp of the three guards in the capital is empty. These imperial guards are in charge of the forbidden palace on weekdays. As well as guarding the imperial city, besides the imperial army, they are very important roles.

To put it bluntly, only by mastering the three imperial guards can one master the palace, which ensures that the new emperor who will ascend the throne in the future will not make any mistakes in Li Xin's grasp.

A man from another world also used this method. The officials in charge of guarding the emperor were all close friends of Prime Minister Cao, or simply his sons.

Now, Li Xin is going to do this too.

After he arrived at the imperial city, he did not enter the imperial palace, but sat down in the inner guard camp in the outer city of the imperial city. At this time, there were not many inner guards left, and the inner guard camp was already empty.

Not long after, Mu Ying, who had been "on duty" in the palace all night, came in rubbing her eyes.

After seeing Li Xin, he chuckled: "The general has come to the imperial city, and if he doesn't come, his subordinates will have to go back to sleep."

Mu Ying has been serious and hasn't closed his eyes for several days. Although he has a very high physical fitness, he can't hold on right now, and his eyes are bloodshot.

Li Xin glanced at him, pointed to the chair opposite him, and said, "Sit down first, we have important things to discuss today."

When Mu Ying heard this, she immediately put away her hippie smile and turned serious: "The general said so."

Li Xin sat on the main seat, looked at Mu Ying with a calm expression, and then said slowly: "I thought about it last night, we need to reorganize the imperial guards, inner guards, Qianniu guards and Habayashi guards in the capital as soon as possible." , must be formed as soon as possible, and the number of people should be the same as before, 200 people per battalion."

Although Mu Ying looked like a reckless man, he was actually quite intelligent. Hearing what Li Xin said, he immediately understood what Li Xin meant. After thinking about it for a while, the black-faced general frowned, and said, "He is a good man." Let’s do it, draw some from the Ningzhou Army and the Hanzhou Army, and then recruit some again, it’s not difficult to make up three battalions, the problem is how to choose the candidates for Zhonglang.”

The three imperial guards are extremely important in the capital. This position cannot be filled by randomly selecting a lieutenant or general from the Southwest Army. First of all, he must be absolutely loyal to Li Xin, or to the Southwest Group. The second is... …

One must be clever.

The position of the three imperial guards Zhong Lang is directly responsible for guarding the imperial city. Once something happens in the capital, the three imperial guards must respond immediately. Therefore, the three Zhong Lang generals must be active and not too stupid.

Mu Ying frowned and thought for a long time, but she didn't think of a suitable candidate in the Southwest Army. He looked up at Li Xin and asked, "What does the general mean?"

Li Xin narrowed his eyes slightly, and said, "Originally, Li Shuo should be brought together to discuss this matter, but he was too aggressive when attacking the city, so that the firearms battalion of the Ningzhou Army suffered heavy losses. He will be kicked out, and you and I will discuss it."

Having said that, Li Xin paused, and then said in a deep voice: "What I mean is, I will choose the Zhonglang General of the Habayashi Guard and the Internal Guard. As for the position of the Zhonglang General of the Qianniu Guard, I will leave it to Brother Mu to arrange."

Mu Ying smiled wryly and said: "If there is a suitable candidate for the general, the three Zhonglang will arrange the general, and the subordinates are definitely not the kind of people who fight for power..."

"I know this."

Li Xin smiled and said: "But Brother Mu made great contributions in the process of the Eastern Expedition. It should be given to Brother Mu, and we can't be stingy. The role of these three imperial guards in the capital will be very important in the future. As long as they do well, When the court situation is stable, the future must be very bright."

Speaking of which, he looked at Mu Ying and smiled slightly: "Brother Mu can choose a smart one from the Mu family and arrange it in this position."

Mu Ying also understood what Li Xin meant, stood up and bowed her head deeply to Li Xin.

"Thank you, General, for your kindness!"

Chapter 1119 Not Ruthless

Li Xin has already thought about the candidate for Yubayashi Wei Zhonglang. His sister-in-law, Zhao Fang, has been a lieutenant in the Zhenbei Army for a period of time, and has experience in leading troops. Moreover, during this Eastern Expedition, Zhao Fang A lot of things have been done in Anbu, and now many celebrities from all over the south of the Yangtze River are already speaking for the Southwest Army.

Although Zhao Fang is only in his early 20s, it is a bit too conspicuous to put him in this position, but there is no other suitable one besides him.

What Li Xin meant was that Zhao should be placed in the position of General of the Habayashi Guard for five or six years, and when the court was stabilized, he would be promoted from the Habayashi Guard.

As for the inner guard...

The inner guard is not the same as the Qianniu Guard and the Habayashi Guard. The inner guard's camp is directly in the imperial city, and it is the closest guard to the emperor. Therefore, compared with the other two guards, the inner guard Lang Jiang's position is more critical.

Li Xin's idea is to let his Anbu take over the inner guard. If it is not possible, let Chen Shiliu take over the job of the inner guard Zhonglang. Anyway, Shiliu is only in his early 30s this year, and he can reach the fifth rank Zhonglang at this age. , are considered young and promising in the imperial court.

After the two finalized the candidate for General Lang of the Three Imperial Guards, Mu Ying stood up yawning, cupped her hands at Li Xin and said, "General, I really can't hold on any longer, now I'm going to sleep for a while. The matter of the three imperial guards will be handed over to the general."

The black-faced general smiled and said: "As long as the firearms battalion is not moved, the Hanzhou Army will be selected by the general."

Having said that, Mu Ying paused for a moment, and then said: "Although General Li Shuo made some mistakes, his subordinates think that he has made a lot of contributions. Select a few generals from the Ningzhou Army to be the left and right generals of the three imperial guards."

Li Xin also stood up, and smiled at Mu Ying: "Okay, you go back to sleep first, I will handle the three guards. Before the new emperor ascends the throne, I should be able to fix it."

Speaking of this, Li Xin hesitated for a while, and then said: "There is one more important thing, Brother Mu, you have to take it to heart."

Mu Ying lowered her head slightly: "The general ordered."

"Most of the soldiers of the Southwest Army are from Shu. Now that the apparent battle is over, these people may have the idea of ​​returning to their hometowns, but we can't go back to the Southwest now."

Li Xin looked serious: "In my opinion, it will take at least three years for the court to be completely stabilized. During these three years, the Southwest Army will stay in the capital to prevent changes in the capital."

Mu Ying shook her head and said, "Don't worry, General, no one in the Southwest Army will be a deserter without the order of the General!"

"That was not what I meant."

Li Xin said in a deep voice: "The will of the public must not be violated. I mean, Brother Mu can go down and ask. If someone in the Southwest Army wants to go home, Brother Mu can start recruiting near the capital, or directly draw some from the Forbidden Army." The soldiers entered the Southwest Army, and those who wanted to return home were sent back to the Southwest in batches."

"Of course, there will be no shortage of rewards. After the new emperor ascends the throne the day after tomorrow, we will start rewarding the soldiers of the Southwest Army according to their merits. Those who should be rewarded will be rewarded, and those who should be appointed officials."

General Li looked calm.
