Unparalleled Concubine

   Chapter 268 Big Fudge

   Hou Jingde's expression was a little unsightly.

   As the saying goes, when you hit someone, you don't slap your face, and when you swear, you don't expose your shortcomings. Li Xin's words really touched his sore spot.

Although his old father was not a hereditary marquis, he was also a second-rank general in the army before his retirement. He was only inferior to the general of the level of Ye Mingzhong's Xuantong, but in his generation, he was still a Yulinwei. Zuo Lang will.

   A military attache from the fifth rank!

   Even the youngest son of the Ye family climbed onto his head with ease. The Hou family has come to his generation, and it can be said that the family is at a loss.

This is also the reason for Hou Jingde's distress. It's not that he has no ability, but he can't go to the camp. Second, his father retired too early due to injury, so that no one in the court took care of him. In his early years, he was still a general of Yulinwei.

   If things go on like this, in another 20 years, he won't be able to get to the top.

The tall Hou Jingde looked around cautiously, and then sighed at Li Xin: "Brother Li, you are doing things for His Royal Highness Wei, so naturally you have to speak to His Royal Highness, but you ask yourself, even if I follow Wei, I can be promoted. Did you get rich?"

  Li Xin blinked and smiled: "Why not?"

   "Not to mention that His Majesty has already established a crown prince, even if as you said, the crown prince is going to be...that, then the next crown prince may not necessarily be His Royal Highness Prince Wei."

  Hou Jingde coughed and said in a muffled voice, "You must know that among the four princes staying in Beijing, His Royal Highness Prince Wei is the youngest."

   Li Xin smiled and said, "If age can determine the throne, the current Crown Prince should have been the Crown Prince ten years ago."

Hou Jingde took a deep breath, and finally shook his head and said, "Today Hou is here to congratulate Brother Li, and I won't say any extras. If Hou is alone with Brother Li, he will do any business with Brother Li, but Hou will do business with Brother Li. There is another family in a certain family, and I can't gamble with their lives for a future."

   "Farewell."

  Li Xin shook his head.

   "Brother Hou, you and I have known each other for a while, can you sit down and listen to the younger brother?"

   Hou Jingde stopped, Li Xin pulled him and sat down under the pavilion in his yard, then Li Xin pointed to himself and asked, "Brother Hou, how long have I been in Yulinwei?"

   Now is the 18th year of Chengde's eighteenth year, and Li Xin is Yulinwei who only entered after the new year, which means that it has only been about ten months.

   "Less than a year."

   "How long has Brother Hou been in Yu Linwei?"

   Hou Jingde took a deep breath and said with emotion, "It's been sixteen years."

   Hou Jingde worked in Yulinweili for more than ten years before he became Zuolang general, and then he worked in the position of Zuolang general for five or six years.

Li Xin smiled: "Brother Hou, no one can tell that I am far inferior to you in terms of leading and training troops, and far less than you in terms of personal force. If it were an ordinary time, I would stay in the Yulin Army for half a year. , to be promoted from team deputy to team leader is already very great, isn't it?"

   Hou Jingde also smiled: "I started out as a school captain when I entered Yu Linwei, and I was promoted to the commander after three years as a school captain."

   "But I am now on an equal footing with Big Brother Hou."

Li Xin glanced at Hou Jingde lightly: "Big Brother Hou knows that I am working for Wei Wangfu, so Big Brother Hou thinks that Wei Wangfu, or His Royal Highness Wei Wang has the ability to let me become Yulin within ten months. Is the position of General Wei Youlang?"

  Naturally there is no.

   In fact, let alone a general of the right, even if there is an ordinary Yubayashi in the Yulin guard, the princes have no right to interfere.

   This is the direct rate of the Son of Heaven, and no one can intervene except the Son of Heaven.

   Hou Jingde's expression changed.

  What Li Xin said, he understood.

  This young man was able to rise to the sky in Yulinweili, and he was promoted to five ranks within a year.

  Li Xin smiled and said, "Big Brother Hou should understand this, but has Big Brother Hou ever thought about why His Majesty wants to promote me, this little guy?"

   "Brother Hou is also from a family background, but I'm just a farmer from Yongzhou."

   Hou Jingde was silent.

  Li Xin whispered: "Everyone in the court and the opposition knows that I am doing things for the Wei Palace, and your Majesty naturally knows it. Big Brother Hou still can't see the situation clearly?"

   "Which person in Beijing is as fast as a farmer like me?"

   Li Xin is fooling people.

  The reason why he was able to climb so fast on the court was naturally because the emperor of Chengde was carrying him behind his back, but the reason why the emperor of Chengde pushed him was not because of the Wei Wangfu, but because of the Pingnan Houfu!

The emperor wanted to use Li Xin as the spear tip. Naturally, he had to polish the spear tip first. In addition, Li Xin himself was able to handle it very well, so he was able to go from being a Yulin Guard's team mate to becoming a team mate in ten months. Go to Yu Linwei's right Lang.

  Hou Jingde thought about it for a long time, and finally said in a low voice: "As Brother Li said, if Your Majesty likes His Highness King Wei, why didn't you just make His Highness King Wei the Crown Prince a few days ago, but..."

   "Because Your Majesty is still indecisive!"

Li Xin directly interrupted Hou Jingde's words and said solemnly: "If your majesty really wants to establish a crown prince, you should choose one between His Royal Highness Zhao Wang, His Highness Qi Wang and His Highness Wei Wang. In this way, the title of the prince will be certain, and the battle for the crown prince will be resolved. Then the dust settled, at this time His Majesty made the eldest prince the heir, the other three princes, as well as the court and the public, how many people will be convinced of him?"

   Li Xin whispered: "The Censor of the Censor Terrace has already lost his virtue in the Crown Prince!"

   Hou Jingde was taken aback.

  The matter of the imperial censor's impeachment of the prince was blocked by the East Palace to the maximum extent. Hou Jingde naturally did not know about it, but Li Xin had the Wei Palace as a source of information, and he knew far more than Hou Jingde knew.

   "Prince in charge of the country's administration, 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 bit rude on the surface, but when we were fighting with the inner guard at the gate of Yonganmen before, the younger brother knew that you are a smart person, and the prince has been living in Qin Wangfu for more than ten years. Can you rest assured that His Majesty suddenly asked him to supervise the administration of the country?"

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

   This tall man slowly closed his eyes, still a little hesitant.

   After all, this is not a trivial matter. Once he is on the wrong team, the Hou family will not say that the whole family will be killed, at least a lot of people will die!

   Moreover, His Royal Highness King Wei used him mostly for the soldiers and horses of Yulinwei Zuoying. Once the swords were used and then they failed, it would not be as simple as slaughtering the whole family.

   At least the three tribes of Yi!

  Li Xin stood up and whispered beside him: "Brother Hou, which emperor has been seriously stabbed in the past and was able to spare the guards who were ineffective?"

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

  According to the previous rules, no matter whether Li Xin was rescued or not, the emperor suffered such a serious injury, Li Xin, Yulin Weiyoulang, must be dead.

   But Li Xin survived!

   This black-faced man was finally persuaded 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 stroked his palm and smiled.

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