Unparalleled Concubine

Li Shen's becoming a Beijing official does not mean that the affairs of the Pingnanhou Mansion have come to an end. Even if Li Shen is not in charge of the military power, as long as he is in the capital, he will naturally be a focal point.

Just imagine, if at the last moment of seizing the throne, any prince who has no hope of inheriting the throne may not be able to ask Li Shen. When the emperor of Chengde leaves and the capital is in chaos, Li Shen and the prince can take the opportunity Get away, and fight internally in the name of this prince in the future.

However, the Seventh Prince and Pingnanhou's Mansion were already at odds, and this prince was unlikely to be the Seventh Prince anyway, so Li Xin had to take action now.

In his own yard, he changed into court clothes, walked to the gate of Yong'an Palace, and asked to see the emperor.

Up to now, it has been a month since the emperor was assassinated. In this month, the emperor of Chengde has hardly seen any foreign ministers. He only met a few princes, some important officials from the three provinces and six departments, and Li Shen, Marquis of Pingnan.

Others have never seen the Holy Son of Heaven.

Logically speaking, Li Xin, a general from the fifth rank, would not be able to see the emperor no matter what, but after being informed by the internal officials, a young eunuch quickly came to Li Xin, bowed and said: "General Li , Your Majesty calls you in."

Li Xin is the general of the Habayashi Guard, this position can barely be called a general, the eunuchs in the palace are the best at talking, and they often choose the most pleasant title to call him.

Li Xin took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "Thank you, little eunuch."

Under the leadership of this little father-in-law, Li Xin came to the gate of Changle Palace smoothly, and met the Chengde Emperor in the warm hall of Changle Palace.

Yesterday, Li Shen also met the Holy Son of Heaven here.

Li Xin knelt down to salute, bowed and said, "My subject Li Xin, I have seen Your Majesty."

The Son of Heaven was still sitting by the stove, smiling slightly: "Get up and talk."

Li Xin stood up and thanked him.

The emperor rubbed his hands together and said, "Is your injury better?"

The scene of Li Xin bravely rescuing him in the Beishan paddock was witnessed by Emperor Chengde. At that time, the assassin cut Li Xin's back for a long time, bleeding profusely.

Although the wound was not deep, it looked scary at the time. Emperor Chengde also thought that Li Xin was seriously injured.

Li Xin lowered his head and said, "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty, I'm well."

"It's good to be young, and the body recovers quickly."

The emperor looked at Li Xin enviously, and said, "During these days, how are you getting along with Xiaojiu?"

Li Xin lowered his head slightly, and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, I take shelter in the princess mansion, the princess treats me very well, I am very grateful."

"It's good to get along well."

The emperor chuckled: "You came to the palace today to look for me, you must have something to do?"

"Your Majesty Shengming."

Li Xin patted his ass, and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, I am in good health now, and now there is only one captain battalion in the Habayashi Youying Camp. Your Majesty has decreed that Xu Chen will choose sons from good families in the Gyeonggi area, and select the orphans of soldiers into the Habayashi Guard to contribute to the country."

Li Xin doesn't know how long the Emperor Chengde can live, but it won't be too long. At this time, of course, the right battalion of the Habayashi guards must be pulled up as soon as possible. Combat power will take at least three to five months.

There is no delay.

The emperor chuckled and said, "Don't worry, since I don't have your general position, Habayashi Youying will definitely ask you to pull him up. This time, you have to open your eyes a little bit. Don't let Zhou Danian come out again." Kind of a traitor."

Li Xin knelt down on one knee.

"I dare not do my best to serve His Majesty!"

The Son of Heaven nodded, and said, "Since you are in good health, tomorrow I will ask Chen Ju to make a draft, allowing you to re-enlist the soldiers of the Habayashi Guard Youying in the capital area, but..."

After a pause, the emperor opened his mouth and said, "It's just that the Habayashi Guard is my personal leader, and the selection of candidates cannot be entirely up to you. I will ask the Inner Guard Supervisor to send someone to discuss with you the recruitment candidates."

Habayashi Guard is personally led by the Son of Heaven. Not to mention his high status, he also has good conditions. Usually, if people inside and outside want to go in, they have to go through the back door. If Li Xin didn't have a Habayashi Guard Captain as a security guard, he would not be so good. Enter Habayashi Guard.

It was foreseeable that once the Habayashi Guard recruited people, the number of applicants would be overwhelming. At this time, the power of selection was extremely critical. The Emperor Chengde was obviously worried about Li Xin's monopoly on power alone, and wanted to send people from the internal guards to intervene.

The inner guards are the emperor's personal guards, and they are all normal men, but the inner guards are all eunuchs.

After all, the emperor had to trust eunuchs more.

Li Xin bowed his head respectfully: "I don't have many people available under my command, and I am asking the fathers-in-law of the Internal Guard to help recruit people."

This time, more than half of the Habayashi Guard Right Battalion was killed by the imperial court. There was only one captain battalion of 600 people left, that is, 400 people, and 1000 or [-] people needed to make up.

No matter who chooses these people to enter the Habayashi Guard, they will be led by Li Xin in the end. As long as Li Xin has enough wrists, the entire Habayashi Guard right camp will become his direct descendants.

Therefore, it is okay to have eunuchs involved.

The emperor nodded: "That's all. You go back and wait for the news. The imperial decree will be delivered to you tomorrow."

Speaking of this, Emperor Chengde took a deep breath and sighed softly: "Remember to keep your eyes open when selecting candidates. Don't let the incident in the Beishan paddock reappear and hurt my trust in Habayashi Guard."

Li Xin nodded respectfully, and said in a deep voice: "The matter of the Beishan paddock is a dereliction of duty of the minister. I am grateful to His Majesty for not abandoning me and still using me. If there is any trouble in the Habayashi Youying Camp this time, Li Xin will come to see His Majesty! "

The emperor held a hand warmer in his hand and nodded in satisfaction.

"Okay, if you dare to say such a thing, it proves that you are still loyal to me."

"Thank you for your praise, Your Majesty."

Li Xin bent over and was about to leave when he heard a deep voice from the Chengde Emperor.

"Li Xin, I have something to ask you."

Li Xin took a deep breath, bowed his head and said, "Please, Your Majesty."

The Son of Heaven looked up at Li Xin with a calm expression.

"How about Li Shen?"

Li Lang blinked his eyes, finally lowered his head slowly, and answered the question of Chengde Emperor.

"Rebellious officials and thieves."

Chapter 251

No matter what kind of person Li Shen is, in the eyes of the current Chengde emperor, he is just a traitor, so Li Xin's answer can be said to be a standard answer, and there is no possibility of anything wrong.

The emperor waved his hand: "You go."

Li Xin bowed out of Changle Palace.

After leaving the palace gate, he didn't rush back to the Princess Mansion, but went to the camp of Habayashi Guard.

After the last surprise change, the captain's battalion under his command, including Wang Zhong, Mu Ying, Shen Gang and others, were all placed in the Habayashi Guard camp. observe.

During this month, Li Xin was recuperating from his injuries while avoiding suspicion. He had never been to the Habayashi Guard Camp once. At this time, he was ordered by the emperor, so he naturally went to the Habayashi Guard Camp to see his brothers.
