Unparalleled Concubine

In her mind, it is a matter of course to burn fire and do work every day. It is because of this simple temperament that people like her so much. Both Li Xin and Cui Jiuniang like this little girl very much.

While the siblings were talking, there was already a knock on the courtyard door.

Li Xin pushed open the door, and the Seventh Prince, dressed in blue, stepped in.

"Brother Xin, I have asked the tooth shop to send you ten maids, you use them first, and if there are not enough, then greet me."

After a few days, the current Seventh Prince has calmed down, and is no longer as flustered as he was in the first few days.

Ten maidservants of about the same height stood in a row, and under the command of Yaxing Yamao, saluted Li Xin respectfully.

"The servants have met the master."

Although these maids are not stunningly beautiful, they are all pretty handsome, and the most rare thing is that they are all about the same height, obviously carefully selected by the matchmaker.

What's even more rare is that they were sent by the Seventh Prince himself.

Among the ten maids, there must be people from Wei Wangfu, but Li Xin has no conflict of interest with Wei Wangfu now, and there is nothing to hide. In addition, he still needs to rely on Wei Wangfu to turn over. At this time, he can only pretend. Zuo didn't know, he smiled at the ten girls: "You all go down first, and I will arrange things for you tomorrow."

Li Xin gave some money to the maid at the front, and said in a deep voice, "Go and buy some beds and come back and settle yourself down."

The maid, who looked eighteen or nineteen years old, bowed her head respectfully and hurriedly backed away.

Li Xin dragged the Seventh Prince to sit down in the lobby of his house, and said with a smile, "Why is Your Highness so happy?"

The Seventh Prince smiled and said, "There was news from the East Palace that His Royal Highness angered Huan Chu, his servant, because of political discord, but that Prime Minister Huan was so angry that he left the East Palace with a flick of his sleeves. Get sick and go home!"

After being in power for a few days, he offended a powerful prime minister...

This His Royal Highness is really a genius...

Li Xin shook his head, and said in a deep voice: "I have had the honor to meet that Prime Minister Huan several times. He is a very handsome and wise man. It is impossible for him to bump into the Crown Prince for no reason. It must be something that the Crown Prince has lost."

The smile on the Seventh Prince's face was even wider.

"Brother Xin, do you still remember the last time you went to southern Xinjiang to serve as a supervisory envoy, the Pingnan Army sent a petition to the capital to ask for compensation?"

Li Xin squinted his eyes: "Remember, if I remember correctly, His Majesty only issued the first batch of pensions at that time, and then dragged on."

At that time, the Pingnan Army lied about the number of dead in battle and asked the court for a pension, but the court couldn't afford it. Li Xin suggested to the Emperor Chengde that part of the pension be issued.

His Royal Highness King Wei finally couldn't hold back his smile, clapped his palms and said with a smile: "This morning, the prince found out from the Shangshutai the memorial to the Pingnan Army asking for compensation. This memorial was sent back to the Shangshutai by the emperor. It was actually approved!"

"Because of this matter, Prime Minister Huan clashed with the eldest brother, and was kicked out of the East Palace by the eldest brother. Then, in a rage, he asked for leave and went home to recuperate!"

Li Xin frowned slightly: "His Royal Highness... Could it be that he is illiterate?"

The current fate of the Pingnanhou Mansion, even the common people in the capital, can see that something is wrong, but His Royal Highness, the Crown Prince, is not aware of it at all?

To be in charge of the government, it is natural to spread kindness, but kindness is not such a spell. You sent money to the Pingnan Army. Could it be possible that the Pingnan Army, which has suppressed the rebellion for more than 30 years, can still thank you?

Li Xin frowned and thought for a while, but finally he couldn't figure out what the eldest prince meant.

His Royal Highness Wei smiled and said in a low voice: "Brother Xin, as expected, Father didn't send three divisions to the East Palace."

Li Xinxin knocked on the table, thought for a while, and said something irrelevant.

"Your Highness, the Habayashi Guard Right Battalion has been recruited..."

Chapter 266

Habayashi Guard Youying can't actually cause too much trouble in the capital, even if these people are really willing to attack the imperial palace with Li Xin, not to mention whether Hou Jingde of Zuoying will sit idly by, even if Hou Jingde doesn't care, the guards in the imperial city It will also stop them stubbornly.

The Imperial Army is now stationed outside the city!

It only takes half a day for them to support the imperial city!

Under the present circumstances, mutiny is unrealistic.

The reason why Li Xin said this was to let the Seventh Prince know that they already had a force in their hands, and when the capital really fell into chaos, they also had the ability to adapt.

The Seventh Prince glanced around, then lowered his voice: "Brother Xin means..."

Li Xin shook his head and said, "It's too pessimistic to have this idea now. At present, it seems that His Royal Highness is in power like this, and there will inevitably be ministers who will write to him. If not, the fourth prince will probably make trouble for him."

"So, we still have to strive for the orthodox succession as much as possible, otherwise, even if His Highness takes the throne, future generations will give His Highness a notoriety of usurping the throne."

"Father's thoughts, we can't figure it out. Even if the eldest brother is deposed, no one knows who the next crown prince will fall into."

His Royal Highness Wei Wang squinted his eyes: "According to what my father said earlier, the next crown prince might be Brother Sanhuang!"

Li Xin took a deep breath and said, "Your Highness, these things should be considered by His Majesty who is avoiding Changle Palace. Now we just need to do our own thing well."

They all have work, and naturally they want to provide Zhu Rongjiu to the Jin army, which is the will of Emperor Chengde.

Now, only the two frontier troops in the north have a certain amount of Zhurong wine in stock, which is used as medicinal wine for backup. The rest of the Jin army does not have this kind of medicinal wine.

There are a total of 32 battalions of the forbidden army around the capital, and now [-] battalions are commanded by Zhong Xuantong. The owner of the Zhong family has used Zhu Rongjiu earlier, and the effect is very good. Now he has written to the court, asking the Ministry of War to give him ten Liuying also offers Zhu Rongjiu.

The Forbidden Army near Gyeonggi not only defends the capital, but also sometimes undertakes tasks such as suppressing bandits, so there will inevitably be some casualties.

The Seventh Prince nodded, and said, "I have already ordered all the Shaochun wine in the capital, and now I can steam about ten or twenty jars of Zhurong wine a day, which is more than enough to supply the Ministry of War."

"Also, the wineries in the Gusu area have already opened up. It is estimated that in two or three years, Zhu Rongjiu will be able to open all over Dajin."

Speaking of this, His Royal Highness Wei Wang paused, and smiled at Li Xin: "Brother Xin will become the richest man in Datongfang by then!"

Datongfang is located in the south of the capital, and there are not many rich people. The Seventh Prince said this with a sense of humor.

Li Xin also smiled, and then said in a deep voice: "Your Highness, in the current situation, we must hold our ground and do what we should do. The third prince is trapped in his palace and cannot move. Most likely, the fourth prince and His Royal Highness is colliding head-on, let's just watch."

The Seventh Prince has many shortcomings, for example, he is a little timid and not decisive enough. Besides, he has many minor problems, but he has a very good advantage, that is, he is good at accepting advice.

At least so far, he has listened to most of what Li Xin said.

The Seventh Prince nodded and said, "I'm going to the Ministry of War to discuss with the Ministry of War about supplying Zhu Rongjiu to the Imperial Army."

Li Xin also got up to leave, and said with a smile: "I also want to go home, I just moved to a new house, I guess Princess Nine will come over for a while."

His Royal Highness Wei Wang squinted his eyes and smiled: "Speaking of which, you and Xiao Jiu are not too young. After a while, I will write a letter to the father and let the father give you a marriage."

"If it drags on for a few more months, I'm afraid..."

He wanted to say that he was afraid that Emperor Chengde would not be able to wait.

Li Xin shook his head slightly, and said solemnly: "Your Highness, even if I want to get married with the Ninth Princess, the marriage must be granted by His Highness, otherwise it will be duckweed on the water, without any foundation. If the new emperor says a word in the future, my family will be destroyed! "
