Unparalleled Concubine

In the entire Jin Dynasty, when Li Zhijie and Ye Cheng were mentioned, everyone would call him Old Houye, Old Lord.

This is a respect for the two fierce generals who destroyed the country before Banjiazi.

Li Xin lowered his head, just quietly listening to Cui Jiuniang's speech, without interrupting.

Jiuniang sorted out her thoughts, and continued: "This situation lasted until fourteen or five years ago, when the old Hou Ye Li Zhijie passed away, and now the Hou Ye Li Shen went down to take over the position of Pingnan Hou. He took the initiative to take a step back and put all the credit for the Pingnan Army on Li Shen's head."

Li Xin's eyes were a little dignified.

As far as he knows, in the era of the old Houye Li Zhijie, Nanjiang did not form an alliance with the Nanhou Mansion. It's amazing.

14 years ago, after Li Shen went south, the Marquis of Pingnan began to form an alliance with the remnants of Southern Shu. Since then, there have not been many wars in southern Xinjiang. Most of them are fake.

Even Li Shen's title of Great General of the Zhu Kingdom was earned by His Royal Highness King Min of Southern Shu who sacrificed his life for Li Shen.

And Li Yan's is the credit for the real fighting.

Because of this, as soon as Li Yan returned to the capital, he had the position of Minister of the Ministry of War. In fact, if Li Yan got close enough to the emperor, he would be more than enough to be Minister of the Ministry of War.

After listening to what Jiu Niang said, Li Xin frowned slightly.

A smart person may not know how to lead troops to fight, but a person who can win battles is definitely not stupid.

This is a tough opponent.

After chatting with Cui Jiuniang for a few more words in Deyi Building, Li Xin hugged Zhong Xiaoxiao and stood up to say goodbye. Before leaving, Cui Jiuniang took a deep look at Zhong Xiaoxiao and said softly: "Next time Mr. Li goes out, remember Put Xiaoxiao here with me, don't leave her alone at home."

Speaking of this, Jiu Niang was afraid that Li Xin might misunderstand, so she added: "I bought a small house near the Deyi Building, and Xiaoxiao will live there when I come back in the future, not in the Deyi Building."

Li Xin nodded slightly: "Thank you, Sister Cui."

Jiuniang breathed a sigh of relief, and watched the siblings leave.

This young man is now one of the eight captains of Habayashi Guard, but he still calls himself the same as when he was selling charcoal...

Rare——

....................................

After taking Xiao Xiao home for a day, Li Xin was going to report to the Habayashi Camp, but before that, he had to go to Qinghe Princess Mansion.

Now that Li Xin has been promoted to be a captain, it is unlikely that he will continue to be the head of the bodyguard at Princess Qinghe's Mansion in the future. Her Royal Highness is quite dependent on him, so I should go to Princess Qinghe's Mansion to explain, lest Her Highness beat Habayashi Guard. , It didn't end well.

Thinking of this, Li Xin changed into the uniform of the Habayashi guard and walked towards Princess Qinghe's mansion.

The Habayashi guards who were the personal guards in Princess Qinghe's mansion back then were all taken to the north by Li Xin, and now the personal guards of the princess mansion are another school lieutenant battalion selected by Zhu Ke from the Habayashi guards.

The sentry officer who used to be under Li Xin's hand is now Captain Zhu.

After arriving at the Princess Mansion, although those personal guards didn't recognize him, they recognized his clothes. Now Li Xin's captain's clothes have not been distributed yet, and he is still wearing the school captain's uniform, but this is enough.

He walked towards Princess Qinghe's mansion without hindrance.

Just as he was about to step in, a horse came out of the alley and immediately sat a panting middle-aged eunuch. After the eunuch got off the horse, he walked in front of Li Xin in two or three steps.

"Captain Li can make it easy for our family to find!"

The middle-aged eunuch complained: "Our family went to the Habayashi Guard Camp and then to Li Duwei's house, but we didn't find Li Duwei. Later, we heard that Li Duwei came to the Princess Mansion, so we found Li Duwei. Captain."

Li Xin blinked, and cupped his hands at the eunuch: "Why is my father looking for me?"

"Your Majesty is calling you, hurry up and go into the palace with our family..."

Li Xin looked up at the sky and smiled: "Eunuch, it's very early in the morning, Your Majesty should be going to court, right? What are you calling me for?"

"Of course you are called to court."

The middle-aged eunuch took a deep look at Li Xin, and said in a sharp voice: "Today at the court meeting, someone impeached Li Duwei in the court hall. His Majesty summoned Li Duwei to ask...cough...to confront him."

He originally wanted to ask for guilt, but fortunately he stopped it in time.

Li Xin narrowed his eyes.

Come on as soon as you say it, this Li Yan really won't let him go easily.

Chapter 205

it has started.

Although I guessed that Li Yan might target me again, I didn't expect it to come so soon.

The emperor of the Jin Dynasty did not go to court every morning like in later TV dramas. In fact, the emperor would only meet with the court leaders from the three provinces and six departments on weekdays, or when he had something important to do, he would order a few specific yamen When entering the palace to discuss matters, only the great court meeting once every ten days will convene civil and military officials.

All Beijing officials above Rank [-] must participate.

And Li Xin happened to be the captain of the sixth rank, so he was not eligible to attend the meeting.

The Great Jin court holds a grand court meeting every tenth day, and today is exactly July [-]th, the day of the great court meeting.

Li Xin nodded to the middle-aged eunuch, and said: "Eunuch, go first, and I will enter the palace later."

The eunuch nodded, and said in a sharp voice: "Then Captain Li, hurry up, His Majesty is waiting for you, if you are slow, you will not be held accountable for negligence."

The eunuchs in the Jin Dynasty did not hold power. The eunuch Chen Ju, the largest eunuch in the eight prisons of the inner palace, had power only in the imperial city. That is to say, they only have the right to report, not the right to judge.

Even the internal guards in the Eighth Prison, although they have military power in their hands, are limited to the imperial city. Although the internal guards have the right to arrest people, they have to go through the court's procedures before they can be judged.

This is much inferior to the factory guards of the Ming Dynasty.

This actually limits the freedom of part of the imperial power. However, from Emperor Xianwu to Emperor Chengde today, the two generations of emperors in the Great Jin Dynasty were extremely dignified. , and no one dared to disobey them.

It was also for this reason that these eunuchs were quite polite in their speech, even the chief eunuch Chen Ju was usually lukewarm, not to mention the ordinary eunuchs who passed on the words.

Li Xin nodded to the eunuch: "Eunuch, don't worry, Li Xin saves a lot."

The eunuch wiped the sweat from his brow and rode away.

Li Xin originally wanted to enter the Princess Mansion and say hello to Princess Nine before going to the palace, but after thinking about it, he shook his head and gave up, and said to the guard at the gate of the Princess Mansion in a deep voice: "Tell Your Highness Princess that I have been here, I was summoned by His Majesty, so I didn't go in to see her."

This Habayashi guard clasped his fists respectfully: "School Li...don't worry Captain Li, I will definitely tell His Highness about my humble position."

Li Xin narrowed his eyes, turned around and got on his dark cloud horse.

After more than half an hour, he arrived at the gate of Changle Palace and stood with hands down, waiting for the summons.

After a while, there was a high-pitched singing voice from the main hall, which was too far away to be heard clearly, and then a warrior in front of the hall walked up to Li Xin and said in a low voice, "Li Duwei, Your Majesty calls you in."

Li Xin walked into the main hall of Yongle Palace with his hands down.
