Unparalleled Concubine

Chapter 217 Follow the rules!

The time has entered August.

At the beginning of August, the former Habayashi Weiro general Li Ji was formally tried by the three courts. At first, after the three courts of the Criminal Ministry, Dali Temple, and the Procuratorate discussed together, they charged Li Ji with the crime of robbing civilian women and causing harm to the village. However, after the report was reported, the Chengde emperor did not buy it, and the three justices had to renegotiate.

Finally, a 15-year apprenticeship was set for Li Ji.

Li Ji is close to 40 years old this year. If the 15-year prison is full, he will basically spend the rest of his life in prison.

The result of this trial was affirmed by the Chengde emperor, so Li Ji was formally convicted.

This time, Li Ji's punishment can be described as extremely severe. The holy emperor didn't care about the status of the Li family in Zhao County, and he didn't care about the face of Pingnan Houfu. They are all watching the actions of the Pingnanhou Mansion.

However, the Marquis of Pingnan seemed to turn a blind eye to what happened to Li Ji. Even Li Yan, the servant of the Ministry of War who returned to the capital, seemed to have nothing to do with it, commuting to and from the office of the Ministry of War every day.

On the other side of the Habayashi Guard, Li Xin had already taken over Li Ji's position and became the right general of the Habayashi Guard.

From a fifth-rank official, Habayashi Wei's pinnacle!

Zhonglang General Ye Lin seldom asks about Habayashi Wei's affairs. The two generals on the left and right and a long history are responsible for all the big and small affairs of Habayashi Wei. .

In other words, Li Xin has already stood at the pinnacle of the Habayashi guard rank!

He is only 17 years old this year!

This is a very dreamy process. Looking back on the experience of the past half a year, as long as there is a mistake in one step, it is impossible for Li Xin to be able to sit in the current position.

You must know that even Li Ji, who came from a noble family, took five years to become a general when he entered the Habayashi Guard. Hou Jingde, who came from a half-wai family, took longer, and Li Xin, only It took half a year.

However, this speed of promotion has both advantages and disadvantages. The advantage of course is that Li Xin can get in touch with Dajin's inner circle earlier. The disadvantage is that most of the captains under him are dissatisfied with him. There is no way. Captain, each of them is a man in his 40s and 17s, and no one can accept them obediently obeying the orders of a [-]-year-old boy.

For this phenomenon, there is no solution for a while. After all, Li Xin has to rely on them to take care of the more than 600 people in Habayashi Wei Youying.

In the next few days, Li Xin spent most of his time in the Habayashi Guard camp, trying to make these people get used to him as a general.

At this time, the heat gradually subsides.

Because of the beginning of autumn in early July, after entering August, the heat began to dissipate slowly, and the weather gradually became cooler.

Li Xin and his brothers Habayashi have survived the most difficult time of the year. After all, Habayashi's black armor is too disadvantageous. If you stand under the sun in summer, the whole person will immediately become the water man.

This morning, Li Xin was inspecting the training of his subordinates on the school grounds, when a guard Habayashi ran over, bowed his head to Li Xin and said, "General Lang, Zhong Lang will come to you for something."

Li Xin was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "Go and tell General Zhong Lang, and I will go right away."

Ye Lin... why is he here?

It has been more than half a year since Li Xin joined the Habayashi Guard. In the past six months, Li Xin has met this general of the Habayashi Guard twice, and one of them was in Chen Guogong's mansion.

Why is this old man coming to Habayashi guard today when he is free...

Having said that, Ye Lin was Li Xin's superior after all, and he still wanted to go if he was summoned by the superior. Li Xin ordered his subordinates to continue the drill, then he tidied up his clothes and walked towards the east courtyard.

Habayashi Wei Dongyuan is the place where General Zhonglang, Chang Shi, General Lang and the captains work. Among them, General Zhonglang has an independent small courtyard. When Li Xin walked to the door of the small courtyard, he found that the big man Hou Jingde was also shaking. Arrived leisurely.

Li Xin cupped his hands and fisted at Hou Jingde: "Brother Hou."

Hou Jingde laughed, stepped forward and patted Li Xin on the shoulder, and said, "Brother Li, you have really become a general. I didn't see it with my own eyes. I can't believe that there will be a 17-year-old in Habayashi Guard." Your commander!"

Hou Jingde is nine feet tall, extremely huge, his whole body looks like a huge monster, but fortunately Li Xin's body is much stronger now, otherwise he would have fallen apart if he slapped him like this.

Li Xin managed to come back to his senses, and smiled at Hou Jingde: "Brother Hou, Zhong Lang will come back suddenly, and he called us here, I don't know why?"

Hou Jingde said "Oh", and said with a smile: "Mostly it's autumn hunting. Your Majesty has nothing else to do. He likes hunting the most. Last winter, he was supposed to go hunting in Beishan, but he was teased by His Majesty for some reason. There is something else, and His Majesty didn't spare time for hunting, and now that it's autumn, I guess His Majesty wants to go out of the city for a walk."

As Hou Jingde said, the emperor of Chengde did not like to build large-scale projects in this life, and he was not too greedy for beauty, but there will always be some hobbies in life, and the emperor of Chengde is best to hunt. In the past, four times a year, once a season is essential It’s just that the winter hunting in Chengde in 17 years was disturbed by Li Xin’s big-character posters. Later, the court experienced many things, and the emperor of Chengde never took time to shoot and hunt. Counting the days, it’s almost a year.

Li Xin and Hou Jingde walked side by side, and when they reached the door of Ye Lin's small courtyard, Li Xin took the initiative to give way, letting his old boss take a step first.

Hou Jingde was also polite, and walked into the courtyard.

In the yard, Ye Lin had been waiting for them for a while, and after seeing both of them arrived, Ye Lin first looked Li Xin up and down, then coughed, and said: "You two, I just received the letter from the palace. News, His Majesty is planning to hunt in Beishan in ten days, according to the old rules, half of the inner guards, and half of my Habayashi guards, make up 3000 people."

Ye Lin narrowed his eyes, and said: "According to the past rules, half of the left and right battalions of our Habayashi Guard also sent out half of the people, but this year, the position of General Youlang's first general will be a bit unfamiliar. This general's opinion Yes, this time there are fewer people from the right battalion and more people from the left battalion, how about it?"

When hunting for the Son of Heaven, personal safety must be guaranteed, and the ratio of personnel must be very particular. Half of the inner guards and half of the Habayashi guards can control each other. Time will also be more or less mutual restraint, which ensures the absolute loyalty of this temporary guard to the emperor.

In fact, the essence of imperial power is roughly the same. The emperor sits on a high place to make his own referee, fiddles with all parties, and keeps everyone's forces as balanced as possible, thereby ensuring the stability of the imperial power.

Hou Jingde smiled heartily: "There is nothing wrong with our Zuoying, it depends on Brother Li."

Li Xin lowered his head and hesitated for a moment.

He now has four battalions of captains, and those who can be completely obedient are the four hundred people he led before. The other three battalions of captains are somewhat powerless to use.

Li Xin pondered for a moment, finally made up his mind, and bowed slightly to Ye Lin.

"General Zhonglang, let's follow the rules."

Chapter 218 I am the rule!

Although the relationship between Li Xin and Hou Jingde is still "good", but personal friendship is personal friendship, and business affairs are business affairs. This kind of affairs that should each be responsible for half of the people, if Hou Jingde takes the majority of the responsibility, in the next period of time, Yu Lin Wei Youying would make fun of others, so that he couldn't hold his head up in front of Zuoying.

It's not just Li Xin who can't hold his head up alone, all the Habayashi men in the right camp can't hold their heads up in front of the left camp.

Therefore, Li Xin chose each person to contribute half of the people.

Ye Lin glanced at Li Xin indifferently, nodded and said, "Well then, both of you, in the past few days, hand over the list of people who participated in the hunt, and remember not to miss it."

The emperor's personal safety is extremely important when he goes out to hunt in the palace. Therefore, everyone who participated in the guards must leave their names for future accountability. This is also a common rule in previous years. Li Xin and Hou Jingde both nodded and looked at Ye Lin They clasped their fists together.

"The humble job knows."

Just when Li Xin and Hou Jingde were about to leave, Ye Lin called Li Xin.

Hou Jingde glanced at the two of them, but left the yard without stopping.

Li Xin clasped his fists to Ye Lin and said, "What orders does General Zhonglang have?"

Ye Lin smiled and said, "It's nothing, I just want to ask you, how is my elder brother doing at Jimen Pass?"

The chief general of Jimen Pass, Ye Ming and Ye Shaobao of the current dynasty, is officially the elder brother of Ye Lin.

Li Xin took a deep breath and said, "Everything is fine, General, and Jimen Pass is as stable as gold."

In fact, Ye Ming was not doing well.

Although the two of them were brothers, Ye Ming shouldered most of the pressure of the Ye family, so that he and Ye Lin looked like two generations, and Ye Shaobao at the border had already shown his old age.
