In the face of Ye Luan's request, Li Xin also fell silent.

Originally, according to the relationship between him and the Ye family, as long as it was not a relationship involving core interests, he could agree, but before he received systematic training, even if the ordinary army had firearms, it would be like the imperial forbidden army, and the power would not be particularly great.

In other words, even if Ye Lan was given some firearms, even if he had other plans, it was unlikely that he would threaten the capital, but the problem was ......

The current situation in the capital is far from being stable.

The two battalions of forbidden troops have not yet been taken over by Li Xin, and the capital is now under the control of the "military government" of the Southwest Army, and a stable new dynasty has not yet been established, so it is necessary to seek stability as much as possible at this time. There must be no force capable of threatening the capital.

Firearms are such an uncertain force, and at this time, it is necessary to ensure that only the Southwest Army has firearms, so that the prestige of this "junta" can be maintained, and no one else can do it.

Li Xin was silent for a while, looked at Ye Lan silently, and said with a wry smile: "Senior brother, the Southwest Army is not alone, I will hand over the firearms to you now, even if they don't say it on the surface, they will gossip behind their backs......"

Hearing this, Ye Lan instantly understood what Li Xin meant, and he let out a long breath: "Chang'an's words are right, because I think less for my brother." ”

Li Xin frowned and thought for a while, and then spoke: "Senior brother should also know that the two battalions of forbidden troops have not been completely accepted by me, and even I may not be able to support them to do anything at this time, but if senior brother can't persuade him to plant Xuantong, I can be the master of giving senior brother a forbidden army of Zhichong Mansion, as long as senior brother can lead it, I will take this Zhichong Mansion to the north and reason with Chongwu." ”

Ye Lan had a smile on his face, he patted his chest, and his tone was extremely confident: "In this world, there are no soldiers that our Ye family can't lead." ”

Although this sentence is a bit arrogant, it is definitely a fact that can no longer be true, the huge prestige left by Meng Yesheng, no matter which army has a natural awe for the Ye family, as long as he gives Ye Lan the power to lead the troops, he may soon be able to master this Zhichong Mansion.

Li Xin arched his hand at Ye Lan and said, "Today, Li Xin has already been a little involuntarily, and there are things that he can't do, so please forgive me." ”

Ye Lan shook his head again and again: "In today's situation, it is not easy for you to listen to me say this in the middle of the night, my father is not mistaken, you are a person worthy of trust." ”

Ye Lan took two steps back and looked at Li Xin deeply: "The general is careful in the capital, after this chaos is over, I will invite the general to drink in the Chen Guogong Mansion." ”

Li Xin nodded silently, with a smile on his face: "Definitely." ”

This is the end of the conversation between the two brothers, it has been over at this time, Li Xin has been busy for a whole day, and his eyes are a little unable to open at this time, after he sent Ye Lan away, he returned to his residence and fell asleep.

Early the next morning, before dawn, Li Xin was forced to get up from the bed by the habit of getting up early, he changed into a regular clothes, washed up briefly, and left the Jing'an Hou Mansion and walked towards the imperial city.

At this time, although the overall situation in the capital has been decided, but under this overall situation, there are countless hidden dangers, Li Xin has a lot of things to be busy with, and he needs to clean up these hidden dangers one by one.

The first is to reorganize the Son of Heaven's Praetorian Guard.

When the Hanzhou army entered the imperial city that day, the three guards who stopped in front of them were almost slaughtered, and now the camp of the three guards in the capital has been empty, these Tianzi guards, who are responsible for the rotation of the forbidden palace and the garrison of the imperial city on weekdays, in addition to the forbidden army, they are very important roles.

To put it bluntly, only by mastering the three guards can you master the palace and ensure that the new emperor who will ascend the throne in the future will not make any mistakes in Li Xin's control.

The classmates of Apu in the other world also used this method, and the officials in charge of guarding the Son of Heaven were all close associates of Prime Minister Cao Cheng, or simply his son.

Now, Li Xin is going to do this too.

After he arrived in the imperial city, he did not enter the palace, but sat down in the inner guard camp in the outer city of the imperial city.

It didn't take long for Mu Ying, who had been "on duty" in the palace all night, to walk in with her eyes rubbed.

After he saw Li Xin, he smiled: "The general can be regarded as coming to the imperial city, and if he doesn't come, his subordinates will have to pick up his son and go back to sleep." ”

Mu Ying has not closed his eyes for several days, although his physical fitness is extremely high, but he is a little unable to hold it at this time, and his eyes are already bloodshot.

Li Xin glanced at him, pointed to the chair opposite him, and said, "Sit down first, there are important things to discuss today." ”

When Mu Ying heard this, she immediately put away her hippie smiling expression, and her face was serious: "The general said that's it." ”

Li Xin sat on the main seat, glanced at Mu Ying with a calm face, and then said slowly: "I thought about it last night, we must reorganize the Heavenly Son Guard, Inner Guard, Qianniu Guard and Yulin Guard in the capital as soon as possible, and the number of people should be the same as before, 3,200 people per battalion. ”

Although Mu Ying seems to be a reckless man, he is actually quite smart, hearing Li Xin say this, he immediately understood what Li Xin meant, the black-faced general frowned and thought for a moment, and then said: "It's easy to do people, transfer some from the Ningzhou Army and the Hanzhou Army, and then re-recruit some, it's not difficult to get together three battalions, the question is the candidate for the Zhonglang general, how to choose." ”

The three janissaries are extremely important in the capital, and this position is not something that can be done by randomly selecting a lieutenant or a general from the Southwest Army, first of all, he must be absolutely loyal to Li Xin, or to the Southwest Group, and secondly, he ......

One has to be smart.

The position of the three guards is directly responsible for the garrison of the imperial city, and once something happens in the capital, the three guards must react immediately, so the three generals must be active and not too stupid.

Mu Ying frowned and thought for a long time, but he didn't think of a suitable candidate in the Southwest Army, he looked up at Li Xin and asked, "What does the general mean?" ”

Li Xin narrowed his eyes slightly, and said: "Originally, Li Shuo should have been brought here to discuss this matter, but he was too aggressive during the siege of the city, so that the firearms battalion of the Ningzhou army suffered heavy losses. ”

Speaking of this, Li Xin paused, and then said in a deep voice: "I mean, I will be the candidate for the Zhonglang General of Yulin Wei and the Internal Guard, and as for the position of the Zhonglang General of Qianniuwei, I will hand it over to Brother Mu for arrangement." ”

Mu Ying smiled bitterly: "If there is a suitable candidate for the general, the three lieutenants have arranged the general, and the subordinates are by no means the kind of people who fight for power and profit......"

"I know that."

Li Xin smiled and said: "But Brother Mu has made great contributions in the process of the Eastern Crusade, and it should be given to Brother Mu, and he can't be stingy, the role of these three guards in the capital will be very critical in the future, as long as they do a good job, when the situation is stable, the future will be very broad." ”

Speaking of this, he looked at Mu Ying and smiled slightly: "Brother Mu can choose a clever one from the Mu family and arrange it in this position." ”

Mu Ying also understood what Li Xin meant, and got up and bowed deeply to Li Xin.

"Subordinates, thank you for the general's favor!"
