Unparalleled Concubine

The two made a joke and began to talk about business. Li Xin poured a cup of tea for King Wei and said slowly, "How much Zhu Rongjiu has your Highness made?"

"There are about fifty or sixty altars. There is only one workshop now, and it will take four or five days to make up a hundred altars."

Li Xin took a deep breath: "That's okay, there are still a few days to prepare."

After pondering for a while, Colonel Li asked, "Your Highness, the two generals of the Northland, I know about the Ye Family of Chen Guogong's Mansion. What is the situation of the other Zhong Family? Why haven't I heard of such a family in the capital?" Is your son here?"

After all, Li Xin has been in the capital for too short a time, and he is not very familiar with many things in this country. The confrontation between the Pingnanhou Mansion and the court that he is most familiar with is only a small part of this intricate court, and the entire Great Jin Dynasty is far more important than him. It's more complicated than imagined.

If the imperial court was safe and there was only such a serious problem in southern Xinjiang, Li Shen would have surrendered his military power obediently and returned to the capital to bow his head and plead guilty.

After taking a sip of tea, the seventh prince replied: "There were five kingdoms in the Central Plains back then, and the emperor sent troops to sweep the world. Li Zhijie went south, Ye Cheng went north, and the Chong family was ordered to attack Zhongshan and Yan, two small countries. This country surrendered without a fight, so the Zhong family’s military exploits are not as dazzling as the other two.”

Hearing this, Li Xin was a little dumbfounded.

"When... when Emperor Wu was sweeping the world, did the three groups... send troops together?"

When the kingdoms were in a melee, the country that ruled the world was often defeated one by one. Even the Great Qin of the year fought one by one. From the tone of the Seventh Prince, when Emperor Wu was sweeping the world, it seemed to be... ... fought together?

His Royal Highness King Wei sighed: "At the beginning, the emperor was also forced to do so. He first sent troops to Southern Shu, and the Northern Zhou Dynasty came from the north. In desperation, the emperor had no choice but to let Ye Cheng lead the Imperial Army to fight. He took the imperial army all the way to the capital of the Northern Zhou Dynasty."

Oh, it's not surprising that it's a passive three-sided battle...

"It took eight years for the Jin Dynasty to fight against the Southern Shu, and more than six years for the Northern Zhou Dynasty. The whole Jin Dynasty is struggling to support it."

Having said that, the Seventh Prince's face became serious.

"At the beginning, the emperor was betting on the fortune of the entire Jin Dynasty. After the betting, the money and food in the country were almost exhausted, and there was a civil uprising! Fortunately, the emperor won the bet in the end, and my Dajin is about to fail. When we went down to prepare for the strike, Ye Guogong took the lead in attacking the capital of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and then Li Zhijie attacked Jincheng, and the two small countries of Yan State and Zhongshan State surrendered after hearing the news, and the world was unified!"

Li Xin was shocked when he heard it.

The Emperor Wu of the Great Jin Dynasty was indeed a ruthless person. Under such circumstances, if Li Xin was to do it, as long as he could not fight for two or three years, he would probably stop fighting first, and then take it easy in the future. , Da Jin did not receive the resources of the other two countries to supplement, it is estimated that it will collapse immediately, and the country will perish if it cannot last for too long!

This is the serious betting on the country's fortune, and it's the kind that can tell the difference immediately.

The Seventh Prince continued: "After the Northern Zhou Dynasty destroyed the country, Ye Guogong returned to Beijing and handed over the military power. However, the Northland cannot be garrisoned without an army, so the emperor sent two people to take over the Northland to hold each other back."

Li Xin asked, "These two generals?"

The Seventh Prince shook his head and said, "At that time, General Ye Ming was only under 20 years old, how could he take on this important task?"

"At that time, he was a younger brother of Ye Guogong, and the current commander Zhong Xuantong and Zhong Shuai were in charge of the army in the north."

"About more than ten years ago, Ye Guogong withdrew from the court, and General Ye Ming set off from the capital to take over the Northern Army in Beidi."

The seventh prince chuckled: "A few days ago, Brother Xin knew Ye Mao, the son of General Ye Ming."

Li Xin lowered his head and took a sip of his tea, slowly digesting the huge amount of information.

It seems that the imperial court's fear of Chen Guogong Ye Cheng has reached the extreme. Not only did Ye Cheng return to the capital, but also let the Zhong family also station troops in the north to suppress the Zhenbei Army. His son Ye Ming had the opportunity to go out of Beijing to the north to "inherit the family business".

Moreover, Chen Guogong's family is all in the capital!

After a while, Li Xin had a general understanding of the situation in the Northland, and he asked, "General Ye Ming is under the command of the Suppressing North Army, who is so handsome?"

The Seventh Prince looked serious.

"The seed army."

hiss……

Now the Pingnan Army in southern Xinjiang, although their surname is no longer Ji, but none of them dared to be called Li Jiajun!

Dare to choose such a name, either because the Zhong family has actually become independent, or because the court has the utmost trust in the Zhong family.

Seeing Li Xin gasping for air, the seventh prince chuckled: "Brother Xin, don't be too surprised. The Zhong family army has a much deeper foundation than the Ye family and the Li family. They have shared weal and woe with my Dajin for more than 100 years. There is nothing wrong with it." suspicious."

The Great Jin ruled the world before Banjiazi, but before that, the five countries of the Central Plains had coexisted for more than a hundred years. Up to now, it has been more than 150 years since the founding of the Great Jin!

"As soon as the Zhong family reaches adulthood, they will join the Zhong family army to work. In the capital, only the women and children of the Zhong family live, and the Zhong family keeps a low profile, so it is difficult to see their activities in the capital."

Li nodded confidently.

This is the appearance of a veteran general, like Li Chun and Ye Mao, they are too ostentatious.

The Seventh Prince took a sip of tea and continued to speak.

"Although the Chong family did not make great contributions in the war of destroying the country, they have served in the army for generations and are loyal to the court. Otherwise, the emperor would not have specially asked you to bring a telescope to the commander-in-chief. Whether it is the Zhong family or the Ye family, They are all important figures in the court, this time Brother Xin goes to Beidi, he must make good friends."

Li Xin smiled wryly: "I'm a small person, the two of them probably can't see me, what is there to make friends with?"

His Royal Highness Wei Wang squinted his eyes and smiled: "In the past few days, I asked the people in the workshop to steam a little more wine, and when the time comes, I will bring dozens of altars over there. If it is not included in the account, it will be regarded as a gift from the Wei Wangfu to their two families. General Ye Ming and Zhong Shuai may look down on Brother Xin now, but they will not look down on our Wei Palace."

Li Xin fell silent.

What His Royal Highness Prince Wei meant was to ask him to help the Prince Wei's mansion to deliver gifts.

But thinking about it carefully, did the Chengde Emperor deliberately let him go, did he also have such a meaning?

Li Xin took a deep breath, and finally nodded slowly.

"Don't worry, Your Highness, I understand."

The Seventh Prince reached out and patted Li Xin on the shoulder, and chuckled: "Gifts are second, it doesn't matter whether they accept it or not, but after this trip, you will be the captain of Habayashi Guard, Brother Xin."

His Royal Highness King Wei's voice became serious.

"Captain Habayashi, you are only two steps away from General Habayashi, we have to find a way to hold the position of General Habayashi in our hands!"

Chapter 168

Habayashi Zhonglang, that is, Ye Lin's current position.

Although this position is a real job, but because it often does not last long, the previous Zhonglang generals do not like to take care of things. The current Zhonglang general Ye Lin hardly goes to the Habayashiwei camp and disappears all day long.

But this is just an unwritten rule. There is no rule that stipulates that Habayashi Nakaro will not be able to take power, so when Li Xin achieves this position, he can tentatively hold the entire Habayashi in his hands!

Habayashi is the son of an important force in the capital, as long as he can hold Habayashi in his hands, no matter what happens in the future, the Wei Palace will have room to maneuver.

Even if Li Xin can't stay in this position for a long time, at least he can do it for a year or two. After a year or two, Li Xin will leave the position of Zhonglang General, and he will jump from the middle-level general to the Jin military to the upper echelons.

Therefore, the position of the Zhonglang general is extremely critical.

Li Xin shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Your Highness, not to mention that I am still young and my qualifications are shallow, even if I am old enough, it will be difficult to reach this position if I am not from a general background."

His Royal Highness King Wei tapped on the table lightly, and said: "The emperor's imperial guards have never been subject to any external forces. In the past, the gates have always been sitting in this position because the father believes that they are loyal. If one day the father I think Brother Xin can achieve this position, then Brother Xin, you can be the general of Habayashi."

Generals are different from civil servants.
