Unparalleled Concubine

This young man was able to rise to the top in the Habayashi Guard, and he was promoted to five ranks within a year, and he was single-handedly promoted by the Chengde Emperor.

Li Xin smiled and said: "Brother Hou should understand this, but have you ever thought about why Your Majesty wants to promote me, a small person like this?"

"Brother Hou was born as a general, but I'm just a farmer from Yongzhou."

Hou Jingde was silent.

Li Xin said in a low voice: "Everyone in the government and the public knows that I am working for the Wei Palace, and His Majesty naturally knows it too. Brother Hou still can't see clearly the current situation?"

"Which person in Beijing can be promoted faster than me, a farmer?"

Li Xin is fooling people.

The reason why he was able to climb up the court so fast was naturally because Emperor Chengde carried him behind his back, but the reason why Emperor Chengde promoted him was not because of Wei Wangfu, but because of Pingnanhoufu.

If the Son of Heaven wanted to use Li Xin as the tip of his spear, he would naturally have to polish the tip of the spear first. In addition, Li Xin could handle it himself, so he was able to do it in ten months from a captain of the Habayashi Guards. Right Lang General of Habayashi Guard.

Hou Jingde thought for a long time, and finally said in a shy voice: "As Brother Li said, if Your Majesty prefers His Royal Highness King Wei, why didn't you simply make His Highness King Wei the crown prince a few days ago, but..."

"Because His Majesty is still undecided!"

Li Xin interrupted Hou Jingde's words directly, and said in a deep voice: "If your majesty really wants to establish a crown prince, he should choose one among His Royal Highness King Zhao, His Highness King Qi, and His Highness King Wei. In this way, the title of the crown prince will be certain, and the battle for the crown prince will be easy. Then the dust settled, and now His Majesty has appointed the Eldest Prince as Crown Prince, the other three princes, as well as the government and the public, how many people will be convinced by him?"

Li Xin said in a low voice: "The censor of Yushitai has already lost his virtue in participating in the crown prince!"

Hou Jingde was startled suddenly.

Hou Jingde naturally didn't know about Yushitai's impeachment of the crown prince by the East Palace, but Li Xin had Wei Wangfu as his source, so he knew far more than Hou Jingde.

"The crown prince supervises the administration of the country, even if there is a memorial to impeach him, it is also sent to the East Palace, after all..."

Li Xin chuckled: "Brother Hou, you look a little straightforward on the surface, but when we were fighting with the inner guards at the gate of Yong'an Gate, I knew you were a smart person. The prince has been living in Qin Palace for more than ten years After a day of drinking and drinking, His Majesty suddenly let him supervise the administration of the country, so you can rest assured?"

"I can be sure that the play book sent to the East Palace must be copied again and sent to Changle Palace!"

The tall man slowly closed his eyes, still hesitating.

After all, this is not a trivial matter. Once he is in the wrong team, the whole Hou family will kill everyone, at least many people will die!

Moreover, His Royal Highness Wei Wang used him mostly for the soldiers and horses of Habayashi Wei Zuoying. Once he used his swords and then failed, it would not be as simple as copying and beheading all over the house.

At least the Yi tribe!

Li Xin stood up, and whispered beside him: "Brother Hou, which emperor has been stabbed and seriously injured in the past and present, and can let go of the guard who is weak in protection?"

The last time the emperor was assassinated in Beishan, Li Xin could be regarded as his personal guard.

According to the previous rules, regardless of whether Li Xin rescued him or not, Li Xin, the Habayashi guard general, must have died if the emperor suffered such a serious injury.

This black-faced man was finally moved by Li Xin.

He stood up slowly, and said in a muffled voice, "Brother Li, I want to see His Royal Highness King Wei first."

Li Xin clapped his hands and smiled.

"Tonight, I will send someone to pick up Brother Hou."

Chapter 269 The Princess and the Prince

It stands to reason that characters like Li Xin and Hou Jingde should not and cannot see the prince. Li Xin often goes to the Wei Palace because everyone already knows his relationship with the Wei Palace, so they are not surprised, but Hou Jingde But he has never seen any prince.

Let him go to see the king of Wei, and the matter has already been half completed.

After the people who congratulated Li Xin on his housewarming dispersed, it was already afternoon. Li Xin greeted Wang Zhong and Mu Ying, and went to the Wei Palace in person.

His Royal Highness King Wei was not at home, and the people in Wei Wang's Mansion only said that His Royal Highness had gone into the palace.

Li Xin stepped forward and nodded, and under the leadership of the servants of the palace, he went to wait in the side hall of the palace.

Not long after he sat down, footsteps came from the door of the room.

Li Xin frowned.

The footsteps are very small, not quite like a man.

As the footsteps got closer and closer, a burst of sweet fragrance wafted over. Li Xin looked up slightly, then immediately lowered his head, put down the teacup in his hand, and stood up from the chair.

Walking in from the door is a beautiful woman who looks to be in her early 20s. This beautiful woman is gorgeously dressed, she is definitely not a maid in the Wei Palace, and she is holding a three or four-year-old girl in her hand. boy.

Li Xin lowered his head slightly: "I have seen the princess."

His Royal Highness King Wei married his wife early, and Li Xin knew about it a long time ago, but he has been in and out of Prince Wei's residence so many times, and he has never had the chance to meet this princess.

This beautiful woman walked in slowly, first glanced at Li Xin, then smiled and said: "How did Li Lang recognize that I am the princess?"

Li Xin didn't look up, but just smiled indifferently: "The concubine has a graceful temperament, which cannot be imitated by others."

This princess is surnamed Xie, and she is the daughter of the Shanyin Xie family. She comes from a wealthy family and has a soft and beautiful appearance, but her figure is slightly plump. She married into Wei Wangfu when she was more than ten years old, and gave birth to two daughters for His Royal Highness Wei Wang over the years. Son, the husband and wife can be regarded as respecting each other as guests.

This Concubine Xie covered her mouth with a smile, and said softly: "I heard the prince said earlier that Li Lang will be eloquent, and now I see it, it really lives up to the name."

Li Xin smiled wryly.

At first he had no foundation in the capital city, but thanks to his previous life as a salesman, he developed a good tongue, which allowed him to come all the way to today, and until now, he has gained a reputation for eloquence.

"The princess is overrated."

"Before he left, the lord explained that if Li Lang came to the house in the future, he should not be neglected, so I brought my son out to meet General Li Lang, and I must not lose my courtesy."

It is normal for the mistress to come out to greet guests when the host is not at home.

With a smile on her face, Princess Xie lowered her head and said to the boy beside her, "Yan'er, come to meet your Uncle Li."

This little boy is the eldest son of the Wei Palace, Ji Yan, the eldest son of the Seventh Prince.

Although this little guy is young, he looks like he has received a systematic education, and he will salute Li Xin if he behaves well.

Li Xin hurriedly turned sideways to avoid it, shook his head and said, "How can this make a lowly position worthy of the etiquette of His Royal Highness?"

"Naturally it deserves it."

Princess Xie smiled and said: "My lord himself said that he and Li Lang are brothers, and Li Lang will naturally be Yan'er's uncle. This is our family's private house. There are not so many court rules. Let Yan'er give it to Li Lang. It is also appropriate to salute."

Li's confidence was awe-inspiring.

He wanted to send the seventh prince to the throne. If the seventh prince ascended the throne, the prince in front of him would be the crown prince of Dajin in the future. He would never dare to let a crown prince recognize him as an uncle with a different surname.

Princess Xie smiled faintly: "General Li Lang, don't be too far-fetched, the prince has always regarded you as his own, and Xiao Jiu is also very close to me. After a while, when you marry Xiao Jiu, we will be a family. You don't have to look out of this way."
