Chapter 68 Intelligence Work
The room on the top floor of the proud building is never open to outsiders, even the big shopkeeper Cui Jiuniang of the proud building does not live here, because this is the room of the seventh prince in the proud building, Cui Jiuniang is only sleeping with him at most, and when His Royal Highness King Wei is not in the proud building, she is not qualified to live in it.
At this time, in this room, the candle flame is always bright.
Ping'er brought Li Xin to the door of this room and said in a low voice: "Li Gongzi, the prince is inside, you just knock on the door." ”
After speaking, this Cui Jiuniang's girl bent over and retreated, not daring to stay here for a moment.
Relatively speaking, Li Xin did not have such a heavy fear of the Seventh Prince, because he and this prince were only a cooperative relationship for the time being, not a master-slave relationship.
Li Xin knocked lightly on the door.
"Li Xin asks to see His Highness."
After a while, the door squeaked open, and the Seventh Prince, dressed in a white jade robe, stood in the room with a smile and said with a smile: "I've been waiting for you for a long time, come in and talk." ”
Li Xin nodded and walked in.
The decoration in the room is much heavier than the other rooms in the proud building, and the incense burner on the low table is filled with milky white smoke, which does not rise after it comes out, but falls slowly like a slowing waterfall, which looks very beautiful.
A refreshing scent spreads.
Li Xin bent slightly towards the Seventh Prince, and his voice was respectful: "Li Xin has seen His Highness." ”
The Seventh Prince pulled Li Xin's sleeve and led him to the cushion next to the low table to sit down, and at the same time he also knelt opposite Li Xin, and said with a smile: "In the past few days, there are many things to be busy in the court, and I have to avoid it, so I didn't go to Brother Xin'er to visit. ”
Li Xin sat down, picked up the teapot on the table, took the initiative to pour a cup of tea for the Seventh Prince, and then poured himself a cup of tea, and said softly: "Your Highness has something to tell me?" ”
"I can't talk about orders."
The Seventh Prince picked up the tea poured by Li Xin, took a sip, and said with a smile: "I just heard that Brother Xin is going to Yulinwei to do things, and this king has been in Beijing for more than 20 years, and he has some ideas to communicate with Brother Xin." ”
Li Xin also took a sip of the teacup and said softly: "Your Highness's guidance is." ”
The Seventh Prince's face was calm, and his voice was not slow: "Yu Linwei is his father's personal soldier, whether it is the official department or the military department, he has no right to interfere in anything with Yu Linwei, which is a good thing for Brother Xin, because as long as he enters Yu Linwei, except for a few officials on Brother Xin'er's head, only his father is left." ”
It is a very dangerous thing to roll over the court, but a yamen like the two guards in Beijing is out of the court, and in the court with a fierce struggle, it is like a place outside the world, without too much wind and rain.
Entering the Yulin Guard, Li Xin is equivalent to an extra layer of umbrella, and he can also stand in this place outside the world, watch the court well, and wait for the opportunity to end.
Speaking of this, the Seventh Prince paused and continued: "So, this king wants to tell Brother Xin about a few of Yu Linwei's superiors. ”
Li Xin sat up slightly and cheered up.
The words of the Seventh Prince are all nonsense without nutrition, but from this sentence, it is a serious dry matter.
His Royal Highness King Wei took a sip of tea and said indifferently: "This Yu Lin Wei's current Zhonglang general, surnamed Ye Mingxuan, a descendant of Chen Guogong's Mansion, should be thirty-two years old this year, but you don't have to worry about this person, he was transferred to Yu Linwei Zhonglang General last year, and at the latest at the end of this year, he should be transferred out of Yu Linwei and promoted to a general in other places." ”
Li Xin said thoughtfully: "What does Your Highness mean that this Yulin Wei Zhonglang General is a position that will not last long?" ”
"Nature can't last long."
His Royal Highness the King of Wei said indifferently: "This position is so critical, how can my father tolerate others to stay in this position for a long time, so the position of this Yulin Wei Zhonglang General has become a step, and the successive Zhonglang generals will be promoted to become the general of the Great Jin Dynasty for as little as half a year or as long as a year." ”
Li Xin nodded and exhaled slowly: "This Ye Lan is ...... from the little grandfather of Chen Guogong's Mansion that I saw in the Wei Wangfu last time."
Some time ago, when I was having dinner in the Wei Palace, the little grandfather of the Chen Guogong Mansion left a deep impression on Li Xin, in fact, the acting skills of the little grandfather were still good, if it wasn't for the little nine girls who were too exaggerated, Li Xin almost believed that the little grandfather was a brainless gentleman.
The Seventh Prince squinted his eyes and smiled: "It's rare that Brother Xin still remembers Ye Mao, this Ye Lan is Ye Mao's uncle, the concubine of the Chen Guogong Mansion, and he is not qualified to inherit the title of Duke of Guo, so he can only enter the army early in the morning and take military merits for the Guogong Mansion." ”
In the big clan, especially in the Jiangmen family, most of them are like the Chen Guogong Mansion, and often the descendants of the descendants may not have the opportunity to go to the battlefield, but those who are born have to fight for the family and let the family continue to prosper.
The Seventh Prince poured himself a cup of tea and continued: "Ye Lin is just a passerby, and he basically doesn't care too much about Yu Lin Wei's affairs, so what you need to pay attention to is that there are two or so generals in Yu Lin Wei. ”
Zhonglang will not be a long-term position, so most of Yu Linwei's affairs are controlled by the two deputies of the left and right Lang, and the two deputies in this position for a long time can restrain each other, so that Yu Linwei will be solid in the hands of the Son of Heaven.
Li Xin lowered his hand and listened very seriously.
"Zuo Lang's surname is Hou Jingde, this year should be thirty-seven or eighteen years old, this person has a strong temperament, likes good wine, good riding and shooting, and likes to fight with people in Yulinwei in his early years, this guy is the youngest son of General Hou, a temper is very brutal, after Brother Xin enters Yulinwei, you should pay more attention."
After reciting Hou Jingde's name a few times in his heart, Li Xin nodded slowly: "Your Highness, I have written it down." ”
The Seventh Prince squinted his eyes and continued: "As for the other Right Lang General, it is Baggage Mingji, who is Chinese New Year's Eve five years old today, and this person is talking about it, and ...... Pingnan Hou Mansion still has some origins. ”
His Royal Highness King Wei originally wanted to say that he had something to do with Li Xin, but he remembered that Li Xin was very disgusted with the Pingnan Hou Mansion, so he temporarily changed his words.
Li Xin said in a low voice: "Li family? ”
The Seventh Prince nodded lightly: "To be exact, it is a person from the Li family of Zhao County, and he is of the same origin as the Pingnan Hou Mansion, in terms of seniority, this Li Ji should be the same generation of Li Shen, the Marquis of Pingnan, and he can be regarded as Li Shen's brother." ”
The Li family does not refer to the Pingnan Hou Mansion, but refers to the branch of the Li family of Zhao County, the Li family of Zhao County fought the whole clan back then, and swept the world with Emperor Wu of the Great Jin Dynasty.
Pingnan Hou Li Shen is the Li clan of Zhao County, and Jingzhao Yin Li Ye is also the Li clan of Zhao County.
Therefore, the Li family's energy in the capital is extremely amazing.
In this way, the Seventh Prince introduced the general situation of Yu Linwei to Li Xin, and after he finished speaking, a pot of tea had been drunk by two people.
The Seventh Prince put down the teacup in his hand, suddenly looked up at Li Xin, and spoke in a low voice.
"Brother Xin, has Xiao Jiu been looking for you recently?"
Li Xin was stunned, and then reacted that he was talking about Miss Xiaojiu.
Li Xin shook his head.
"I haven't seen Miss Xiaojiu."
His Royal Highness King Wei glanced at Li Xin with a smile, and then smiled.
"It seems that she has been busy lately, so let's not mention her, the last point in this teacup, this king replaces wine with tea, and respects my brother with a cup!"
Li Xin stood up, picked up the teacup and touched it with His Royal Highness King Wei.
The Seventh Prince drank it all in one gulp, then put down the teacup and patted Li Xin on the shoulder.
"After Brother Xin'er, even if he steps into the officialdom, this officialdom can be very dangerous, Brother Xin has to be more careful."
Li Xin bowed to the Seven Princes and clenched his fists.
"Thank you, Your Highness, for the reminder."
