Unparalleled Concubine

After the eight men reported their military merits, there was a dead silence in the commander's tent.

Lan Geng blushed, lowered his head and said: "General Li, the humble officer said something wrong, please don't take it to heart."

Li Xin chuckled: "I didn't take it to heart."

Lan Geng complained in his heart.

Yes, you didn't take it to heart, you wrote it down in your notebook!

Li Xin said in a deep voice: "Everyone, these eight Captain Guoyi, are you okay?"

Of course.

These eight people are generally the seniors of these captains. Naturally, there is nothing wrong with this kind of seniors serving as their deputy. Li Xin asked such a sentence to give these people face. In fact, he is the boss of the right battalion of the Forbidden Army. With the support of people on the throne behind him, he can forcibly appoint eight captains of Guoyi.

"Humble rank, I respect General Li's orders."

"Just as long as you agree."

Li Xin smiled calmly, turned his head to look at Chang Shi in the tent, and said, "Chang Shi, please naturalize these seniors later."

When Pei Jin was a general in the past, he was the second rank. Now he has been promoted to the right governor, which is the first rank. Li Xin was originally the third rank. After he became the general of the imperial army, he became the second rank. Level, that is, the third grade.

He naturally didn't dare not listen to Li Xin's words.

"Yes."

When the first move of the Forbidden Army had been made, Li Xin said calmly: "That's it, what happens in the Forbidden Army is normal, this general will be patrolling the camp in the Forbidden Army for half a month, if you have anything to do, please let me know." You can come to me."

Eleven military generals in the commander's tent, as well as the clerk, including eight people from Chen Guogong's mansion, got up at the same time and bent over Li Xin.

"Follow the command."

Li Xin stayed in the imperial army just like that.

For the time being, he can't reform the forbidden army too drastically. For example, among the eleven people, he can't move any of them. Firstly, it's because of prestige. How come, but Li Xin can't do it, he needs time to accumulate prestige in the imperial army.

The second reason is that he doesn't know enough about the Forbidden Army, and it will be a matter of the future to really start reforming the Forbidden Army.

In the next few days, the Right Battalion of the Forbidden Army was the same as before. It was Li Xin's entry that seemed to sink into the sea, and failed to bring any waves to the Forbidden Army.

Li Xin, a young general, was like a family member with nothing to do except for practicing boxing in the morning, wandering around in the right camp.

But in the evening, the eight newly appointed Captain Guo Yi would go to his tent and report some things to Li Xin. Li Xin took a small notebook every day and wrote them down bit by bit.

………………

On the eighth day after Li Xin entered the imperial army, the autumn wind was rushing.

At this moment, it was late autumn, the weather in the capital was getting cooler and drier, and the autumn wind that blew from time to time made the passers-by on Desheng Street shiver.

The rich and noble families in Yonglefang also put on autumn clothes.

In Weiyang Palace, Emperor Taikang also changed into a thicker robe. He sat next to the emperor's seat, flipped through the memorial, and asked, "How long will it take for the people sent by the Ministry of Punishment to come back?"

Eunuch Xiao Zheng bowed his head respectfully: "Return to Your Majesty, they arrived near the Zhengyang Station three days ago, but according to His Majesty's wishes, they may not allow them to enter the capital, and they have been waiting there."

The news of false reports of disasters in various places has been confirmed by the Ministry of Criminal Affairs. Once these officials of the Ministry of Criminal Affairs with evidence return to the capital, the Dajin court will completely liquidate those local officials who lied about the disaster. That is to say, the families behind these local officials are also in the Jin Dynasty. Within the attack range of the imperial court, the two sides are likely to turn their faces completely by then.

But the imperial army is not in hand yet.

Therefore, Emperor Taikang kept suppressing this matter and did not allow the people from the Ministry of Punishment to return to Beijing.

The emperor lowered his head and took a sip of the freshly lit refreshing spice, and continued to ask, "Is there any movement from the imperial army?"

The young eunuch Xiao Zheng lowered his eyebrows and said: "General Hou has made a lot of moves. In the past few days, he has changed four or five Zhechong captains, and there is also a central guard. However, the Marquis of Jing’an is not very good. So far, the Marquis of Jing’an has only placed a few captains of Guoyi in. None of the former deputy generals of the Forbidden Army, the Central Guard and the captain of the Zhechong Mansion have been recruited. Replace."

The emperor frowned slightly, and sighed: "It's not surprising, after all, Hou Jingde has been in the imperial army for more than half a year, he has a foundation in the imperial army, and there are people who can use him under his command, but he just arrived in the imperial army in Chang'an, so he can't go too far." embarrass him."

The emperor frowned and pondered for a moment, then waved his hand: "Speak to the people in the Ministry of Punishment and ask them to wait another ten and a half months before entering Beijing. Give Chang'an a little more time."

"Yes."

Xiao Zheng bowed his head respectfully, bent over and exited Weiyang Palace.

The emperor sat alone on the throne, slowly closed his eyes, and thought about the situation in the capital.

This method was taught to him by Li Xin when he was working in the Wei Palace. The emperor tried it a few times and found that it was really easy to use, so when he encountered something, he would do the same thing, closing his eyes and thinking.

But it's a pity that some people don't give him time to think.

That evening, the autumn wind was blowing more and more urgently.

Surrounded by the third and outer third floors of Qianniuweili, Pingnanhou's Mansion suddenly emitted a plume of smoke.

At first, everyone didn't take it seriously because it was evening after all, and it was time to start a fire for cooking, but the smoke was getting bigger and bigger.

By the time the nearby Qianniuwei found out that something was wrong, an open flame had already been born.

This is the time when the air is dry, and when the vegetation is withered, and it is most likely to catch fire. If you are not careful, you will catch fire on weekdays, let alone someone deliberately set it on fire?

Soon, the flames burst into the sky.

Qianniuwei, who was nearby, stumbled to Zhonglang Jiang Zhongheng.

The Qianniuwei who reported the letter turned pale.

"General Zhonglang..."

He swallowed.

"Pingnanhou's mansion... is flooded!"

Without saying a word, Zhong Heng directly dragged the reporter away, got on his horse and galloped to the scene.

At this time, the fire has become a trend.

Yongle Square is the most expensive area in the capital, and it is also the area with the densest buildings. The residences of various princes and ministers are often wall after wall, and it is easy to spread from one family to the entire Yongle Square.

Zhong Heng also turned pale.

He shouted in a low voice: "Go, call the nearby water shop, and lead the fire dragon to put out the fire!"

"All Qianniuwei, put out the fire immediately!"

"Mobilize the people to fight the fire together, and invite the inner guards and Habayashi guards to help save...defense!"

He originally wanted to say help put out the fire, but he thought of someone in Pingnanhou's mansion, so Zhong Heng gritted his teeth.
