Unparalleled Concubine

The Seventh Prince glanced at Li Xin, squinted his eyes and said with a smile: "Brother Xin is so smart, that's how we do it."

"What's more, this incident is not all a disaster. Brother Xin, you killed two assassins. This king will report it to the imperial court later, and find a way to find you an errand in the imperial court."

Chapter 59 Is the future safe?

This assassination case was quickly closed, only two of the dozen assassins escaped without a trace, and the rest of the assassins were captured by Habayashi guards and executed in the West City the next day.

Even the body of the lame assassin who was killed by Li Xin was taken to West Market and cut into two pieces.

Li Chun, the young master of the Pingnanhou Mansion, was exempted from the punishment of being grounded because of his timely escort. In addition, his military official title was promoted from a fifth-rank Feiqiwei to a fifth-rank Xiaoqiwei. General Wu De.

This kind of military official is actually a military honor, which is different from a real job. It is essentially useless, but it can be regarded as a kind of glory. But he was a general of the Zhu Kingdom from the first rank. In the imperial court, there were almost no generals of higher rank than him. It can be seen that Pingnanhou had a lot of weight in the heart of the Chengde Emperor.

After dealing with those assassins, Habayashi Wei, who was in charge of defense work, was reprimanded by the Emperor Chengde. After all, on the first day of the Lunar New Year, it was considered dereliction of duty for the assassins to sneak in the emperor's hundred steps.

Other than that, there was no further information about this incident. The news that Li Xin, a little man, was injured was not spread, as if it never happened.

From the first day to the fifteenth day of the lunar new year, it is the time for all officials to take a bath, that is, the annual leave, so even if the seventh prince wants to declare his achievements for Li Xin, it will be after the fifteenth day. During this period, Li Xin still focuses on recuperating. .

Fortunately, his injuries were not serious, and he could walk on the ground after two or three days. In order to prevent the wound from bursting, Li Xin made a sling with a piece of cloth and hung his arm up.

During the few days of rest, he read the information Cui Jiuniang sent over in detail, including some simple news about Habayashi Wei.

The Habayashi guards belong to the emperor's army, and those who belong to the emperor's army also belong to the inner guards near Miyagi. Zhou Cheng and Sun Jing, who were sent to protect Li Xin before, belong to the inner guards. The inner guards were before the first emperor's dynasty. It also belongs to the Habayashi Guard, which is the Beiya of the Habayashi Guard, but the first emperor assigned the Habayashi Guard of the Bei Ya to the control of the internal guards in the palace. Over time, it was not called the Habayashi Guard, but directly called inner guard.

The other Habayashiwei Nanya is where the black man Zhang Zou was located a few days ago, and the camp is located in the southern city of the capital.

The guards in the northern yamen are responsible for the security of the palace city, and they live in the palace, while the guards in the habayashi of the southern yamen are in charge of the security of the entire capital. These two yamen are regarded as the emperor's pro-army, and they are the garrison troops of the capital, each with 3000 people. Except for the emperor, no one can order them to move.

The inner guards of the northern yamen are controlled by the eunuchs of the inner guards, while the Habayashi guards of the southern yamen are under the jurisdiction of General Habayashi Zhonglang. The position of general is extremely important, so over time, the position of General Zhonglang has become a springboard, a springboard for jumping from a middle-level general to a high-level general. As long as someone holds this position, he will be promoted quickly without accident.

Therefore, the position of General Zhonglang is almost always held by the disciples of the generals in the capital, but no matter who takes this position, the guards in the north and south are firmly in the hands of the emperor, because the two guards in the north and the south, It is the only two armed forces within the capital.

Apart from these two forces, there are only a few police officers and officials from Jingzhao Mansion left in the capital.

Of course, there are still many forces outside the capital.

Li Xin half-lyed on the bed, read Habayashi's information over and over several times, and finally threw the letter paper full of Habayashi's news into the stove at hand.

Then he closed his eyes and weighed it in his mind.

"The Nanya Habayashi Guard is the most important force in the capital, and it is also a relatively crucial position in the capital. If you can enter the Habayashi Guard, it may do something..."

As the emperor's pro-army, loyalty must be guaranteed. Therefore, the recruitment criteria for the two guards are very strict. Generally, they are after the hero in the capital, or after the death of the army, and again they must be innocent citizens, and the screening criteria are very strict every year. Strict, like Li Xin, it is estimated that it is difficult to enter Habayashi Guard.

However, a few days ago, the captain of the Habayashi Guard, Zhang Zou, was willing to guarantor Li Xin, so it would not be very difficult to enter the Habayashi Guard.

You know, the official system in the Habayashi Guard, in addition to Zhonglang General, Chang Shi, and the Left and Right Lang Generals, the following is the captain and captain. The captain is in the Habayashi Guard, and there are at least 200 people under his command, which can be regarded as a small one. Not a small official, with the recommendation of the captain of Habayashi, it is not difficult to enter Habayashi.

The difficulty lies in how to separate the relationship with the Seventh Prince in the open.

If you have the label of a prince on your body, even if you can enter such a vital guard, it is unlikely to climb to a high position. After all, for the emperor, the biggest "competitor for the position" is his son, and there is no emperor. Will relax vigilance on military power.

Li Xin sat alone in the room and thought about it for a long time, and finally made up his mind to find a way to enter Habayashi Guard.

After entering the Habayashi Guard, at least he has his own identity on the surface, just like the captain of the Habayashi Guard Zhang Zou, he can completely ignore Li Chun, the young master of the Pingnan Hou Mansion. Life safety is guaranteed.

Thinking of this, Li Xin wanted to write a letter to communicate with the Seventh Prince, but his right hand was still hanging on his chest, and he couldn't write with his left hand, so he had to give up this idea in the middle of the night.

Just when Li Xin was thinking about his own future, Dong Cheng, a eunuch dressed in red, knelt down on the flat ground in the emperor's dormitory in the imperial city, and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, the matter of being assassinated on the first day of the lunar new year, The slaves have already found out that it is the remnants of the Li family in Nanshu who are not dead. Among the thieves who entered the capital before, two are from the royal family of Nanshu, and the rest are the remnants of the former ministers of Nanshu. Among these assassins, only two escaped. , and put the rest to death."

Speaking of this, Dong Cheng paused for a moment, and then continued: "These two escaped assassins, the slaves are still tracking down with Habayashi Guard."

The emperor of Chengde snorted, and said with some displeasure: "On the first day of the new year, at the feet of the emperor, these descendants of Li Ni can still be allowed to sneak into the capital, within five steps of me, you people are really idiots! "

Dong Cheng knelt down on the ground, trembling.

The Tianmu Supervisor is the eyes and ears of the emperor, and they are also the ones who help the emperor to find out the news, but they didn't know about the assassin's entry into Beijing, so they are indeed guilty of dereliction of duty.

"Your Majesty, the death penalty for slaves..."

Emperor Chengde still looked a little unhappy, and said in a low voice: "What about the two descendants of Li Ni?"

"Already with the assassin, cut in half..."

"It's cheaper for them."

Emperor Chengde sneered.

"Pass down the decree that those who catch Li Ni's descendants will be promoted to the first rank and rewarded with a hundred guan."

Dong Cheng looked distressed, bowed his head and said: "Your Majesty, the person who got the two descendants of Li Ni was not a soldier of Habayashi Guard, but a commoner of Datongfang."

Speaking of this, Dong Cheng raised his head slightly, glanced at Emperor Chengde secretly, and said in a low voice, "That person, Your Majesty should still have a reflection..."

"Datong Square..."

Emperor Chengde frowned: "Is that Li Xin?"

A few days ago, because the ninth princess mainly established his mansion in Datongfang, the people from the Tianmu Supervisor went to check on Li Xin, and the Emperor Chengde naturally had a reflection.

Dong Cheng heaved a sigh of relief, bowed his head and said, "Your Majesty is wise, His Majesty was assassinated that night, and the two descendants of Li Ni fled to the house of Mr. Li Xin in a panic. Two Li Ni."

Having said that, Dong Cheng paused, and then continued to speak.

"However, Mr. Li Xin was also seriously injured, and now he is recuperating at home."

Emperor Chengde frowned slightly, thoughtfully.

Chapter 60 You wait for me!

"Li Xin, what's wrong with you?"

Ninth Princess Ji Lingxiu, who was dressed in a lavender jacket, sat beside Li Xin's bed with a concerned voice.

Li Xin was sleeping at first, but after being woken up by her, he opened his eyes and looked at the sky outside, and found that it was around [-] o'clock in the morning. I slept for a while.

Counting the days, today is already the fifth day of the Lunar New Year. Ever since Li Xinxin jokingly scared away the little girl, she has not shown up for four or five days.

Li Xin rubbed his eyes with his left hand, sat up reluctantly on the bed, and said softly: "It's nothing, luck is bad, some thieves entered the house, fought with them, and hurt my arm."

After he sat up, Princess Jiu saw his right arm hanging on his shoulder, and said softly, "Did you hurt your arm?"

Such a good-looking little girl sat beside her bed, caring softly, but any man would feel a little bit tempted in his heart. Li Xinxin warmed up, and his voice became softer, and said softly: "It's okay. , it will be fine in a few days, Miss Laojiu is concerned."

Ji Lingxiu blinked her big eyes, and said worriedly: "You hurt your arm, so you can't get me something delicious to eat?"

Li Xin's expression froze on his face.
