Unparalleled Concubine

Li Xin nodded, not surprised.

Given his rank, he was indeed not worthy of employing people in the palace. There were countless petty officials in the imperial court. If imperial edicts were used for every personnel change, the imperial court would not be able to afford the money.

The materials and workmanship of the imperial decree are all very particular.

Li Xin opened the document with the big seal of the Ministry of War, and probably read it once. Simply put, because Li Xin was successful in capturing the assassin, the imperial court added a military official named Lieutenant Yiwu, who was the eighth rank.

The so-called Wusan official is just a title. With this title, it means that Li Xin can receive a salary of six stones and six buckets from the court every month. However, only this title does not mean that Li Xin will become an official. He doesn't have a real job yet, he doesn't even have a yamen, and he is still a serious idler.

Generally speaking, this kind of scattered officials are the descendants of those ministers. The so-called enfeoffment of wives and yin sons is the way to say it. Surprising thing.

After Li Xin took the document, he vaguely had an answer in his heart.

However, he still needs the status of a military official, and Li Xin naturally doesn't care about that little salary, but after having the status of a military officer, if he joins the Habayashi Guard, he probably won't start from an ordinary Habayashiro. started.

You know, the ranks in the entire Habayashi Guard are not considered high, Zhonglang will be no more than the fifth rank, Zuo Lang will be from the fifth rank, the captain will be the sixth rank, the school captain will be the seventh rank, and Li Xin will be the eighth rank when he enters the Habayashi guard. A loose official of the highest rank, he would never be allowed to start from a small soldier.

In addition to this document, there are two sets of official uniforms, because they are military officials, and they also brought a standard long knife.

Li Xin took these things over and thanked the little official of Jingzhao Mansion: "Thank you brother for making this trip."

This little official is just running errands, with no official and no rank. Hearing this, he quickly lowered his head and smiled and said, "Mr. Li, you are polite. From today onwards, you will be the one who gets a salary in the imperial court. Judging by your age, your achievements in the future will definitely be outstanding." The limit is limited, and the villain will still point to you to support you in the future..."

Li Xin was 15 years old when he first came to this world, and now he is [-] years old. Even according to the rules of this era, he has just come of age. In the eyes of this little official, his future is indeed limitless.

Li Xin stretched out his hand and patted the little official's shoulder, and said softly, "Brother, please make this trip, let's do that, I'm sitting in the village tonight, and I'll treat you to a meal."

The little official shook his head again and again, and left in a panic.

Li Xin was a little curious.

According to the normal situation, these low-level officials are most greedy for petty gains. He should ask for it if he invites him to dinner. Why do they run away like avoiding ghosts and gods?

Li Xin walked to the gate of the courtyard, glanced at the back of the little official, and frowned.

Then he saw a blue sedan chair parked in the alley in front of his house.

Li Xin recognized this sedan chair.

The young man took a few steps forward, and slightly cupped his hands towards the sedan chair: "My lord."

A muffled groan came from inside the sedan chair, and Jing Zhaoyin Li Ye, who was dressed in a fourth-grade court uniform, bent over and walked out of the sedan chair.

He was originally a member of the third rank of Beijing Central Committee. Last time because of Li Xin's incident, he was directly demoted to a higher rank, which made this capital Yin who was expected to go further still feel angry.

After the old man got off the sedan chair, with his hands behind his back, he glanced at Li Xin lightly, and said in a deep voice, "Originally, the old man would have forgotten about you, but today when the Ministry of War issued the documents, the old man remembered that there is someone like you. I haven't seen you for a while, you, a daring brat, actually alarmed His Majesty with your meritorious deeds, and you became an official because of it."

This old man should be Li Xin's cousin by blood, but Li Xin does not recognize this relationship. The young man leaned sideways and said with a soft smile: "Since your lord is here, it is not a problem to stand at the door." , go in and talk."

Li Ye's position is extremely important in the capital. He has enough qualifications and abilities. In the past few years, he was qualified to enter one of the six departments as the left servant.

You must know that four of the six books are now under the name of the four princes, that is to say, the second-in-command of the four books, Zuo Shilang, is actually the real number one.

Li Xin didn't want to offend such a great Buddha.

Li Ye was not polite either, the old man strode into Li Xin's yard with his hands behind his back.

Then the old man sat down next to the stone table in Li Xin's yard, and after receiving the tea Li Xin handed over, the old man lowered his head and took a sip of the tea, and said calmly: "You are still a man of manners, tell me, What have you been doing during this time, and how did you provoke Li Ni's assassins?"

Li Xin lowered his head and smiled and said: "Your Majesty, as Jing Zhaoyin, you should be familiar with what happened that night. I was resting at home that night, and a few assassins rushed in suddenly, trying to kill me. In desperation I had no choice but to fight back with all my might, and it was my fate that the two assassins were wounded, and by chance, I restrained them."

As he said that, Li Xin stretched out his right arm, and said calmly: "My right arm was also cut by them, and it hasn't healed yet."

When Ye was assassinated, it was the first day of the Lunar New Year, and the people in Jingzhao Mansion were on vacation, so the matter was handled by the people in the palace and the guards of Habayashi. Li Ye, who is Jingzhaoyin, was also an afterthought Understand what happened.

Li Ye sat on the stone bench, looked up at Li Xin, and said in a low voice, "What happened that night?"

Li Xin was silent for a while, and then said calmly: "The people from the Yeping Nanhou Mansion and the Habayashi Guards were involved in the murder together. Most likely, the young master saw that I was not going well, so he drove those assassins to my house."

Speaking of this, the young man who had just turned 16 smiled slightly: "Maybe the young master overestimated the combat power of those assassins, so I was lucky enough to survive."

"Li Chun?"

Lord Fujun frowned, and said in a deep voice: "You are his brother, how could he do such a murderous thing?"

Although Li Xin's identity has not been recognized by anyone, in Li Ye's heart, he already regards Li Xin as his junior. Otherwise, with his identity, he would not have visited Li Xin in person twice.

Li Xin sat down opposite the Lord Fujun, with a calm voice: "Your Majesty, what you said is wrong, I am not from the Li family, and the young master did not regard me as the Li family, so he did nothing wrong matter."

Having said that, Li Xin chuckled.

"If he did anything wrong, it was not killing me."

Chapter 66

Li Ye frowned.

He originally thought that this young man named Li Xin was the lost blood of the Li family, and that sooner or later he would recognize his ancestor and return to his clan, but now it seems that the conflict between this young man and the Pingnanhou Mansion has gradually become irreconcilable the point.

Lord Fu Jun put his hands into his sleeves and sighed softly.

"You are all a family, so you won't make trouble like this."

Li Xin was expressionless: "On the night of the first day of the Lunar New Year, I almost died in this yard."

Li Ye breathed out slowly, glanced at the young man, and said in a deep voice: "You just came to the capital, and you may not be very clear about the official system of the imperial court. The official appointed by the imperial court is a kind official..."

The old man sighed and continued: "That is to say, His Majesty has acquiesced to your identity as the Li family. Otherwise, if a commoner makes this contribution, at most it will be rewarded with some money. It is impossible to just let you do it directly." Official."

There is a huge gap between the officials and the people. Many small officials who have been working in the yamen all their lives cannot be ninth-rank officials before they die. For a person, this is already an exceptional promotion.

Therefore, Li Xin was able to become the captain of Yiwu, and there were some favors from Li Shen, Marquis of Pingnan, in it.

Li Xin squinted his eyes and said coldly: "Your Majesty, I risked my life for this official position, and it is clearly written in the court documents that I was named Colonel Yiwu because of my meritorious service in arresting the assassin. The Marquis of Pingnan has nothing to do with it! Your Excellency is humiliating Li Xin by talking like this?"

Li Ye shook his head and sighed, with a heavy voice: "That boy Li Chun did not do it right, but you should be able to figure it out, if you are a commoner with no status in the capital, what will happen to you if you are a commoner who has no status at all? By then the bones were already cold."

Li Xin sneered a few times: "If that's the case, I won't appear in the capital at this time. There is no place in this world. Why do I have to stay in such a dirty place?"

The Lord Fu frowned.

"Then why did you come to the capital?"

Li Xin was silent.

On this issue, the attitudes of the two Li Xins before and after are different. The other Li Xin naturally wants to find relatives and find a shelter for himself, but the current Li Xin wants to vent his heart. anger.

Seeing that Li Xin didn't speak, Jing Zhaoyin and Li Ye said in a low voice: "We are a family after all, you can speak out if you have any grievances. Explain to the old man, and then I will write a letter to your father, and the misunderstanding between you father and son can be cleared up."
