Chapter 25: The Way Is Different

Now that it has been eighteen years since Chengde, a full eight years have passed, and what happened that night has long been blurred with time, and not many people remember that cold winter night, which turned into a scarlet palace city.

But Li Xin remembers.

At the beginning, because of the assassination of the Son of Heaven, the 1,600 people in the right battalion of Yulinwei were only 400 people in the battalion of Duwei directly under Li Xin, plus a total of more than 2,000 people in the left battalion of Yulinwei, together with the nearly 1,000 parts of the Ye family, they entered the palace city together!

That night, several people ascended to the sky in one step, including the current Taikang Tianzi, and Li Xin himself.

Taikang Tianzi may have forgotten that somewhat bleak night, but Li Xin still remembered that that night, they killed nearly 3,000 people who attacked the city, and by dawn there were less than half of them, and 16,700 people died, of which more than half of the 2,000 Yu Lin Wei were killed or wounded.

It was the blood of these people that stained Miyagi that night.

Of course, there is also the blood of the internal guard, the internal guard suffered heavier casualties that night, and almost all the troops were wiped out, but the funny thing is that the internal guard was reactivated by the current Son of Heaven afterwards, but Yu Linwei was gradually left out in the cold.

Li Xin has endured this matter for a long time, and at the beginning he felt that the Son of Heaven was worried that he was overly controlling Yu Linwei, so he would use the internal guard, and use Qianniu Wei to alienate Yu Linwei, but now that eight years have passed, Li Xin has completely let go of Yu Linwei, and Taikang Tianzi still distrusts the old man Yu Linwei back then.

Perhaps only when the group of old men under Li Xin's hands died that the Son of Heaven could let down his vigilance against Yu Linwei.

Looking at Li Xin's serious face, Taikang Tianzi was stunned at first, and then smiled faintly: "Aren't you talking about the affairs of the military department, why did you suddenly mention these old things?" ”

The four words "Renchen Palace Change" are a big taboo in the Taikang Dynasty, if someone else mentions this matter in front of the Son of Heaven, don't talk about losing your head at this time, at least count the cockroaches in the prison.

But the Son of Heaven gave Li Xin some face, and he chose not to take on this topic.

The Marquis of Jing'an knelt on the ground, was silent for a while, and said, "Your Majesty, the minister just thinks... You are biased towards Yu Linwei. ”

"Why is it biased?"

The smile on the face of the Son of Heaven subsided a little, he still spoke in a light tone, and said: "Since I mentioned the old things of the year, then I will say a few words, Yu Linwei did contribute a lot to the incident back then, but afterwards, Yu Linwei also got what he deserved." ”

"At that time, there were more than 1,100 people in Yulinwei who survived, including more than 100 people above the commander of the army, and among the more than 100 people, as long as they were captains or above, I promoted them out of Yulinwei and arranged them in various yamen in the capital, at least they were also a six-rank military attachΓ©."

"In the past eight years, although I have not deliberately promoted them, I have not suppressed them, among these people, there are some organic spirits, and they have achieved the fifth grade or even the fourth grade."

Speaking of this, the Son of Heaven glanced at Li Xin and continued: "As for the people who died in the battle of Yu Linwei, the imperial court gave three times the pension. ”

Taikang Tianzi walked in front of Li Xin, stretched out his hand to help Li Xin up, and then said in a deep voice: "Yu Linwei has helped me, and this old love is also in my heart, but love is love, business is business, since Emperor Wu, the internal guard is the gateway to the forbidden palace, I have never treated Yu Linwei harshly, but I don't want the two yamen to conflict again." ”

In the past, there were no four Qianniuwei, between Yulinwei and the Praetorian Guard, there were often conflicts, and the contradictions were not small, and later when Renchen Palace changed, Yulinwei took the Ye family to almost kill the internal guards, and this grudge became big.

However, the internal guards of the Taikang Dynasty and the internal guards of the Chengde Dynasty are no longer the same team in their bones, and this reason is actually a bit far-fetched.

Li Xin slowly stood up from the ground, lowered his eyebrows and said: "The minister knows that His Majesty is not sorry for Yu Linwei, but please let Your Majesty trust Yu Linwei's old people more, they are also Your Majesty's pro-army and Your Majesty's loyal ministers." ”

"In the Yulin Weizuo camp, many of the old brothers are still wounded, but they haven't garrisoned the forbidden palace for five or six years."

Li Xin took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "At the beginning, it was they who fought for their lives... Ben didn't ask for anything in return... But after fighting hard, he was reduced from a forbidden army to a security army, and he only patrolled the capital every day, which was no different from Jingzhao Mansion..."

"Your Majesty, people's hearts will be cold......"

When the Son of Heaven heard this, he frowned slightly.

He was silent for a while, and then said, "After talking for a long time, you mean that you want Yu Linwei to take the Forbidden Palace again?" ”

"Yu Linwei is still a janissary, there is no one whose identity is shaken, and their food and salary are also distributed according to the forbidden army, even more than Qianniuwei, since they are the pro-army of the Son of Heaven, then how to arrange it should be my business."

Taikang Tianzi took a deep breath and said, "Is this what Li Shangshu said? ”

The atmosphere in Weiyang Palace suddenly became solemn.

For the first time, there was a head-on conflict between the two people.

The source of this conflict is that the two people's ideas have deviated, Li Xin asked Yu Linwei for treatment with the Son of Heaven, not material treatment, but wanted the Son of Heaven not to treat Yu Linwei as an outsider.

But the Son of Heaven thought that Li Xin insisted on letting Yu Linwei re-garrison the Forbidden Palace.

The matter of Yulinwei's surname Li has penetrated into the heart of this Taikang Tianzi as early as eight years ago, otherwise Li Xin raised his arms at that time, and there would not be two thousand Yulin Wei screaming to fight hard, in this case, Li Xin inexplicably wanted to arrange Yulin Wei to garrison the Forbidden Palace, of course the Son of Heaven would have some bad ideas.

That's the difference in the way.

However, in the end, Li Xin chose to back down.

He took a deep breath, took two steps back, lowered his head and clenched his fists: "Yu Linwei is the Son of Heaven's pro-army, and he is not a subordinate of the minister. ”

"This is Your Majesty's private matter, the minister should not put his beak in his beak, please ask Your Majesty to surrender."

Taikang Tianzi, who has always been obedient to Li Xinyan, just said a "heavy word" to Li Xin for the first time, at this time he also had some uneasiness in his heart, after seeing Li Xin take the initiative to bow his head, the Son of Heaven also breathed a sigh of relief, and smiled at Li Xin reluctantly: "Chang'an, you are from Yulinwei, it is normal to say two words for them, what you say I will consider carefully, if it is appropriate, Yulinwei will participate in the garrison of the forbidden palace as soon as possible." ”

Li Xin's face was expressionless and he bent down deeply.

"Your Majesty, the matter of Yu Linwei has nothing to do with the minister, and the minister's military department still has something to do, so I will retire first."

The Son of Heaven was silent for a moment, then waved his hand.

"Then you can go ahead, just do the same, there is no need to work too hard."

Li Xin nodded and slowly withdrew from Weiyang Palace.

He hadn't taken two steps back when he heard the Son of Heaven on the throne speak slowly.

"Chang'an."

Li Xin stopped, glanced up at the Son of Heaven, and saw that the Son of Heaven had a hesitant look on his face, and then he immediately bowed his head and bowed his hand respectfully

"The minister is here."

The Son of Heaven hesitated for a moment, and finally spoke: "The matter of ....... back then, don't mention it in the future, or don't mention it." ”

The Marquis of Jing'an respectfully bowed his hand.

"Minister, obey the holy will."
