Chapter 176: Interests

The position of the secretary of the military department has been hanging by Li Xin, even when he went to Jimen Pass to serve as the general of Zhenbei, this position has not been lost, as for the command of the right battalion of the forbidden army, it was already the first year of Taikang, that is, almost ten years ago.

In the second year of Taikang, Li Xin, as the general of the right battalion of the forbidden army, led the right battalion of the forbidden army to the west, and made a splashing contribution in the southwest.

The total number of forbidden troops in the Great Jin Dynasty exceeded 500,000 people, but not all of them were near the capital, some of them were either on the border or in the localities, and the forbidden army in Gyeonggi was about 300,000 people, and the two battalions on the left and right each led eight Zhichong Prefectures, each with 1450,000 people.

Originally, after Li Xin stepped down as the errand of the right battalion of the forbidden army, it was Pei Jin who took over the right battalion, and later this general Pei became the general of the forbidden army again, not only mastering the left and right battalions of Gyeonggi, but also controlling all the forbidden troops of the entire Great Jin Dynasty, and became the most powerful person in the Great Jin military.

But because of the fiasco in the southwest, the Son of Heaven was furious, Pei Jin completely lost power in the imperial court, and the Son of Heaven did not even give him a decent old man, and directly demoted him to a commoner and drove him out of the capital.

Therefore, the current Gyeonggi Forbidden Army is in charge of Hou Jingde, and now after seven years, the Son of Heaven has once again handed over the right battalion of the Forbidden Army to Li Xin.

This measure is still very good.

Looking at the current situation, most of the Son of Heaven is really seriously ill, so if he wants the throne to go smoothly, he must give His Royal Highness the Crown Prince some support.

And this power can't be too great, so Li Xin can only lead half of the Gyeonggi Forbidden Army, and the other half is held by Hou Jingde in his hands to control Li Xin.

Originally, Li Xin's achievements over the years, even if he was not in the circle of Jiangmen, his own qualifications were tough enough, and now that he was leading the forbidden army, he would become the strongest backing behind the prince.

Li Xin held the holy decree in his hand, and after being silent for a long time, he turned his head to look at the prince next to him.

"Your Highness will stay in my house first, don't go out recently if there is nothing to do, if there is something, I will let someone call you."

The prince has been messing around in the Jing'an Hou Mansion since he was a child, and he still knows Li Xin's temper very well, usually when Li Xin laughs, it doesn't matter how he jokes with him, but when he becomes serious, there is no room for negotiation.

The prince immediately nodded and said, "Teacher, don't worry, I will be obediently in the mansion and will not go anywhere." ”

After speaking, he left the front hall and jumped towards the backyard of the Jing'an Hou Mansion.

Li Xin, on the other hand, continued to sit in the front hall, holding the jade scroll holy decree in his hand, silently distracted.

After I don't know how long it was, Chen Sixteen, who had brought a meal, approached the front hall and put the food in front of Li Xin, which woke Li Xin up from his state in a daze.

Chen Sixteen lowered his head and said, "Master Hou hasn't eaten today, let's eat some cushions." ”

Li Xin nodded, looked at the holy decree in his hand with some silence, and then put it on the table next to him and picked up the rice bowl on the table.

As he picked up the dishes, he asked, "Are there any guests outside?" ”

Chen Sixteen shook his head.

"Not yet."

Li Xin's face was calm, and while eating, he said, "Not now, but there will be in a while." ”

The news that Li Xin was re-appointed and that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was staying in the Jing'an Marquis Mansion would soon spread throughout the capital.

And... After they heard the news. Will definitely come to Li Xin.

After eating, Li Xin went back to his room and lay down for a while as usual, and when he woke up, he was already approaching Shen Shi from time to time, and after pushing open the door, Chen Sixteen was waiting respectfully at the door.

Marquis Jing'an stretched his waist and asked lightly, "Someone is coming?" ”

Chen Sixteen nodded and said, "Someone wanted to see Hou Ye, because Hou Ye was asleep, so he didn't disturb Hou Ye and let that person wait in the living room." ”

Li Xin washed his face in the basin to sober himself up, and then smiled.

"In terms of being well-informed, or these royal relatives are well-informed, I will change my clothes and go to see them."

After saying that, he went back to the house and changed into a purple robe, put it on his body, and walked towards the living room in his front yard with his hands in his hands.

When he walked into the living room, the young man sitting in the living room immediately stood up and bowed deeply to Li Xin.

Li Xin was a little surprised when he saw it.

"I thought it would be the uncle who came over, why are you here?"

The person who came was Xie Dai of the Xie family.

The body of the Son of Heaven, others don't know, Queen Xie, the pillow person, will definitely know, Queen Xie knows, then the Xie family will know more or less, in this way, the Xie family will naturally be able to see clearly what it means for the prince to live in the Jing'an Hou Mansion.

It means that the Jing'an Hou Mansion will become the arm behind the crown prince.

This arm is not only the arm of the crown prince's accession to the throne.

As the eldest son of His Majesty, as long as there are no major problems, there should be no major problems in succeeding to the throne, but the prince is still young, and how to sit firmly in this position is the biggest problem.

With the support of the Marquis of Jing'an, the prince can sit on the throne safely.

And the Xie family naturally needless to say, their family is the prince's maternal family, the emperor's relatives, the crown prince ascends the throne, the Xie family's power will definitely rise again, their family is a natural "princeling", and they must be extremely loyal.

Therefore, the Xie family will definitely send someone to meet Li Xin, firstly to express friendship, and secondly, to communicate.

After Xie Dai saluted Li Xin, he got up and said, "After my brother came back from the southwest, he was a little unwell, and now he is still recuperating at home, so Xia Guan replaced his brother to meet Hou Ye." ”

Li Xin walked to the main seat and looked at Xie Dai with a smile.

"Isn't it that Uncle Guo can't wipe his face and refuses to give up his face to come to me?"

Xie Dai was silent.

Jing'an Houfu smiled faintly: "I still say the same thing, go back and say a word to the person in charge of your Xie family, or go directly to say a word to the queen mother, it doesn't matter if you say it directly, it doesn't matter if you Xie Dai preside over the situation, it is better for your Xie family to preside over the situation, otherwise everything may be messed up." ”

Speaking of this, Li Xin glanced at Xie Dai.

"It may not be convenient for you to say this yourself, but if you can't say it, I can say it for you."

Li Xin had just woken up, and he was still a little tired at this time, he stretched his waist and said lazily: "A person like Uncle Guo is suitable for honestly taking concubines at home to enjoy happiness, and it is not suitable for coming out to do things. ”

"It's not good for anyone."

Xie Dai lowered his head and said, "There seems to be some misunderstanding between Master Hou and his brother..."

"You say yes, yes."

Li Xin took a sip of strong tea, the sleepiness on his body finally dissipated, he looked up at Xie Dai, and asked lightly.

"Xie Lang will also come back from the southwest, don't rest at home for a few days, what are you doing here?"
