Unparalleled Concubine

The emperor of Chengde opened the miscellaneous book again, and while reading the book, he said: "The spirits from Lao Qi's side have already been produced dozens of jars, and when there are a hundred jars, they will be sent to Ye Ming in the north. , you have nothing to do in Beijing, so I will escort this hundred altars of spirits to the north to see the world."

Speaking of this, Emperor Chengde pointed to the wooden box that Zhao Gong sent over on the table, and smiled lightly: "By the way, take two of these binoculars to the north, and give them to Ye Ming for me to have a kind of mysterious power."

There are two large armies in the northern region of the Great Jin Dynasty. The main generals are Ye Ming, the eldest son of Chen Guogong's mansion, and Zhong Xuantong, the patriarch of the Zhong family of the general of the Jin Dynasty.

Chapter 166

"His Majesty---"

Li Xin said with a wry smile: "The minister just came back from southern Xinjiang not long ago, besides, the transportation of military supplies should be a matter of the Ministry of War—"

"You go and you go."

Emperor Chengde said indifferently: "Originally it was not your turn to go if you wanted to. This is because you made these telescopes. I will reward you for this opportunity."

His Majesty's tone was calm: "You can take the lieutenant battalion under your hand. If you don't have enough manpower, you can ask Ye Lin to transfer another lieutenant battalion. Your status as a lieutenant is too low. I will promote you to become Habayashi later." Captain Wei, take four hundred people to escort Liquor to the north."

Only then did Li Xin realize that His Majesty the Emperor wanted to appoint him an official.

If Li Xin is now 27 or 17 years old, no matter what kind of official position he takes, it will not be too abrupt, but he is only [-] years old now, and most young people of this age in the capital are still studying in school. Preparing to be a scholar, Li Xin became a captain of Habayashi Guard at this age, which is already very controversial. If he is promoted again in a short time, Li Xin will become a hot spot in the capital.

Therefore, the Emperor Chengde wanted Li Xin to go to the north, so that he could take this opportunity to quietly promote Li Xin to the rank of captain of Yubayashi.

You know, there are [-] people under a captain, and the entire Habayashi guard is only eight captains.

Except for Li Xin, most of the other captains are at Zhang Zou's age, 30 years old is considered young, and most of them are around 40 years old.

Emperor Chengde narrowed his eyes and said: "It's the first time you bring so many people out of Beijing, you probably don't know what to do, and you may make mistakes. When you are selecting people in the Habayashi Guard, you'd better choose one or two people with you. The experienced old lieutenant goes with you."

Good fellow, His Majesty the Emperor has even thought of this, and he has arranged himself clearly...

Speaking of this, Li Xin had to go if he didn't want to. After all, in front of the imperial power, there was no room for him to refuse.

Fortunately, the task this time is not heavy, and it is not as dangerous as the southern border. According to the emperor's intention, after returning from the north, he can be the captain of Habayashi Guard.

17-year-old Captain Habayashi!

Li Xin took a deep breath, bent over and said, "Your servant obeys!"

Emperor Chengde waved his hand: "Okay, you go down first, you have time to prepare in the next few days, and after a few days, Lao Qi's place will produce a hundred jars of wine, then you will go to the north, if you need anything, go Find Ye Lin, I will greet him."

Li Xingong said yes.

He is now the captain of Habayashi Guard, and he has a battalion of 200 captains under his command. The emperor of Chengde allowed him to bring 400 people with him this time, which means that he became the captain of Habayashi Guard in advance.

This is His Majesty the Emperor's intention to promote himself.

You know, Zhang Zou, who is also working in Habayashiwei, has been serving as the captain of Habayashiwei for more than ten years. If it wasn't because Li Xin squeezed out his position as captain, I'm afraid he is still the captain until now. A school lieutenant, missed the position of Captain Habayashi.

You know, half a year ago, Li Xin was just a charcoal seller in Beishan who almost died of freezing, a poor man who wrote big-character posters to attack the emperor in order to survive.

In just half a year, Li Xin met too many people and encountered too many things in this capital...

After Li Xin bowed and left the palace, the Emperor Chengde took out the golden dragon-patterned binoculars and played with it for a while, and finally laughed dumbfoundedly at the eunuch Chen Ju who was serving beside him: "This Li Xin really doesn't look like Shiliu Shiliu at all. A seven-year-old young man, his method, said that he is a county magistrate in his 40s who has failed in his official career, I also believe it."

Due to the level of problems in his previous life, the workplace methods that Li Xin is proficient in are actually not very clever in the officialdom. For example, this time he used this method of tattooing dragons to please the Emperor of Chengde, but in the eyes of the Emperor of Chengde, this method is the county. The low-level means that can be used at that level.

Chen Ju also smiled: "Your Majesty, Lieutenant Li is still young after all. Although this binoculars is not pleasing to the eye, he has his heart after all."

Emperor Chengde shook his head: "I'm not saying that he has no thoughts, I always feel that the way he acts and talks doesn't look like a young man, especially this time, it looks like some poor county magistrate's tricks."

Chen Ju put the dragon-carved binoculars into the box, lowered his head and said with a smile, "You don't like this, the old slave just put it away for you."

Emperor Chengde chuckled: "It's not like I don't like it. Although this thing is vulgar, it's a bit majestic after looking at it for a long time. You can find a shelf and put it in my study."

Chen Ju nodded respectfully: "The old servant obeys the order."

----------

Li Xin on the other side, after leaving the palace, returned to Datongfang while thinking.

Judging by the current situation, that Chengde Emperor Ji Man probably really wanted to use himself to deal with Pingnanhou in Southern Xinjiang, otherwise he would not be so eager to promote himself.

But no matter what, this is a good thing for Li Xin. It means that Li Xin, who was trembling in the capital half a year ago, finally has a foothold in the capital.

Captain Habayashi——

A military officer of the sixth rank!

As long as you go up two more levels, you can reach the position of General Habayashi. Although General Habayashi is only a fifth-rank official, he actually has a lot of power. To achieve this position, in the capital You can have your own voice when you speak.

Of course, the premise is that you can't be a Zhonglang general like Ye Lin who is overshadowed by the left and right generals.

As it is now, it is really possible for Li Xin to sit on the position of Habayashi Wei Zhonglang, who is not qualified to be a general, as a commoner.

If you can completely control Habayashi Guard, then whether it is Li Xin or Wei Wangfu, the influence in the capital will be greatly improved.

While thinking about this matter, Li Xin had already walked out of the imperial city. Outside the imperial city was Yongle Square. The Seventh Prince in white clothes was sitting drinking tea under the shade of willows at the entrance of Yongle Square. Li Xin glanced at him. With a glance, he walked over slowly.

The Seventh Prince has been waiting for Li Xin here for a long time.

Today is the day when the Ministry of Industry invites credit. It stands to reason that the seventh prince should go to meet the emperor in person, but in order to avoid being criticized by the outside world, His Royal Highness King Wei did not go in with them, but waited for Li Xin to come back in Yongle Fang.

Seeing Li Xin approaching, the Seventh Prince laughed and said, "Just now I saw Zhao Gong running out in a hurry, and I thought something happened inside, but fortunately Zhao Gong said that his father, the Emperor Long Yan, was very happy, so even if this incident did not happen Fuck it."

As a prince, the rank and title come to an end as soon as he is born, and there is no way to go any further, so the seventh prince doesn't care about the merits of being promoted to a rank, what he cares about is the emperor's holy family, among other things, only Longyan joys four His Royal Highness Wei Wang thinks it is worth the word.

Li Xin also sat down under the willow shade. After he took a deep look at the Seventh Prince, he said

"Your Highness, Your Majesty just said that when His Highness steams a hundred altars of spirits, I will take Habayashi Wei to escort these wines to General Ye Ming in the Northland."

Under the shade of willows, the Seventh Prince stood up, frowning slightly.

"This matter is usually transported by the Ministry of War, how could it fall on your head?"

Li Xin blinked his eyes and smiled narrowly: "Maybe it's... that the Fourth Prince's Ministry of War will give away Zhu Rongjiu?"

Chapter 167

After a brief communication on the road, the two set off to return to Wei Wangfu.

The quiet room of Prince Wei's Mansion was built in a shady place, and a few pieces of ice were placed in the room, making the whole room cool. After the two of them sat down, several maids brought some food.

To Li Xin's surprise, there was a plate of ice cream made by Li Xin.

His Royal Highness King Wei squinted his eyes and said with a chuckle: "This is the method that Xiao Jiu gave me that day. Brother Xin, you are not kind. Now, if you have anything, send it to Xiao Jiu. You don't miss my Wei Palace at all."

Li Xin shook his head: "This is a sweet food. I thought only my daughter's family would like it, so I didn't send it to Prince Wei's residence."
