Chapter 209: Someone Reaches Out for Power
The position of Taifu is not unacceptable, after all, he has confirmed the identity of the emperor in his official position, and his status is also higher than that of Taibao.
And this general of the Pillar State is a little intriguing, since the founding of the Great Jin Dynasty, there are not many people who have been enshrined in the Pillar State, especially before Emperor Wu, there are almost few generals of the Pillar Kingdom in the Great Jin Dynasty, since Emperor Wu, the military achievements of the Great Jin Dynasty are flourishing, and there are two great generals of the Pillar Kingdom, Ye Sheng and Li Shen, the Marquis of Pingnan, it is worth mentioning that in the end of the Taikang Dynasty, the Great Jin Dynasty did not appear even a great general.
Until today's Yuan Zhao Dynasty, Li Xin was named a pillar because of his hard work and the secret thoughts of several auxiliary ministers.
Seeing that Li Xin had received the holy decree, Xiao Huai bent down deeply.
"Congratulations to Taibao for his promotion to Taifu and the title of Zhuguo."
Li Xin put the holy decree into his wide sleeve, and then glanced at Xiao Huai: "There is a trip to Father-in-law Xiao, if you don't dislike it, I will go and get some tea money." ”
After receiving the holy decree of promotion, he will generally give the errand eunuch a hardship fee, which is an unwritten rule, but because Li Xin has been in a high position of power all these years, no matter who comes to his mansion to announce the decree, he does not dare to ask for the silver money of the Marquis of Jing'an's mansion.
Xiao Huai is Xiao Zheng's godson, and he is also one of the most popular eunuchs in the inner court today, so naturally he will not understand this rule, he bowed his head and was about to refuse, when suddenly his eyes rolled, and he respectfully said to Li Xinzuo: "Slave maid...... Thank you for your reward. ”
Li Xin glanced at the young eunuch of the inner court, who was only in his twenties, and then smiled: "A little money is not a tribute." ”
He looked up at Chen Sixteen, who was waiting next to him, and said, "Sixteen, take Grandpa Xiao and go to the account room to get the money." ”
"Yes."
The one-armed butler of the Marquis of Jing'an, bowed slightly, and led Xiao Huai away.
And Li Xin stood in the main hall with his hands in his hands, looking at Xiao Huaiyuan's back, and smiled.
"This father and son are interesting."
…………
The news that Li Xin was appointed as the Taifu soon spread throughout the capital, and soon there were many court officials who prepared gifts and wanted to come to the door to congratulate them, but because Li Xin had already ordered the door to close the door, most of them failed to enter the Hou Mansion.
However, because some people can't be stopped, and they are not easy to block, Li Xin simply rode out of the capital on horseback after being disturbed for two days and went to the camp of the right camp of the forbidden army.
He was in the second half of last year, began to take charge of the right battalion of the forbidden army, and before the death of the first emperor, he had basically mastered the right battalion forbidden army, after all, most of the lieutenants of the right battalion forbidden army and the lieutenants of Guoyi were his old departments, and some of them were promoted by him during the Western Expedition.
According to the rules, a general of the forbidden army like Li Xin has to live in the camp of the forbidden army, for example, Hou Jingde, the general of the left battalion of the forbidden army, lives in the camp almost all year round and rarely returns to Beijing, while Li Xin has almost taken control of the forbidden army in the right camp, he has slacked off a lot and has not come to the camp of the forbidden army.
In fact, he controlled the southwest in his hands, and he didn't particularly care about the military power of the right battalion, but this authority was handed over to him by Taikang Tianzi before he died.
At that time, Taikang Tianzi and Li Xin almost broke up, even if he couldn't hold on to his body and couldn't embarrass Li Xin anymore, but at most, he gave up doing something to Li Xin, and there was no reason to hand over half of the Gyeonggi Forbidden Army to him, a "thief".
But Taikang Tianzi really did it.
This is the Son of Heaven bowing his head to Li Xin, giving in, and even begging Li Xin to use this half of the Gyeonggi Forbidden Army to stabilize the status of the pair of orphans and widows.
Li Xin was still quite touched when he got the holy decree that made him the general of the right battalion of the forbidden army, which was one of the reasons why he naturally stood on the side of the prince.
Now, it has only been three months since the first emperor's funeral, and those auxiliary ministers of Shangshutai can't wait to take away his position as Taibao, so he is very quiet.
When he arrived at the gate of the camp, Li Xin jumped out of the carriage, threw the reins to a forbidden army soldier guarding the gate of the camp, and then walked into the forbidden army camp with his hands.
He was born in Yulinwei, and the Yulin guard's robe was still black, so Li Xin usually wore a black robe, and at this time he was wearing a black robe and walked in the forbidden army camp with his hands.
When the people in the camp saw him, they all bowed their heads respectfully and addressed the general.
Not a few steps after he entered the camp, He Song, who had been the protector of the right battalion of the former forbidden army and was now the deputy general of the right battalion, led several middle guards and two lieutenants of the garrison in the handsome account to come out to greet Li Xin.
More than a dozen big men bowed their heads respectfully.
"The last general, I've seen the general!"
This deputy general He Song, is the general of Chen Guogong's house, Taikang followed Li Xin on the expedition in the second year, at that time he was the captain of Ren Zhichong, and later after the triumph of the western expedition, because of his great achievements, he simply stayed in the right camp of the forbidden army to be the middle guard, and at the end of last year, after Li Xin returned to the right battalion, he was promoted to deputy general.
There are a total of eight Zhichong Mansions in the right battalion of the Forbidden Army, and each Zhichong Mansion has a different station. There are only two Zhichong Mansions near the Shuai Tent, but most of the important matters of the eight Zhechong Mansions have to be sent to the Shuai Tent, so the military affairs are heavy, and when Li Xin is not in the Shuai Accounts, He Song and the Changshi of the Right Battalion are helping him take care of the Right Battalion.
Li Xin is also used to being a shopkeeper, otherwise with his current official positions, even if he has learned the art of clones, it is impossible to take care of the two big functions of the military department and the forbidden army at the same time.
Surrounded by He Song's and others, Li Xin entered the handsome account of the right camp, and then sat down on the main seat, he first flipped through the paperwork on the table, and then looked back at He Song.
"General He, has the right battalion been okay lately?"
He Song smiled bitterly and said: "The eight Zhichong Mansions in the right battalion, adding up to more than 100,000 people, how can they be okay, it's just that you don't ask about things, general." ”
Li Xin smiled: "Isn't this the busy affairs in the capital and I don't have time to take care of the right camp, General He picked up some important things and talked to me." ”
He Song nodded and began to report to Li Xin on military affairs.
Some of the so-called military affairs are related to the personnel of the right battalion, but the demotion and promotion of military generals at a certain level must go through the military department or the metropolitan governor's office, so most of the remaining military affairs of the right battalion are large-scale armed fights between the people of one Zhichong Mansion and the people of another Zhichong Prefecture, or the distribution of materials in which Zhichong Prefecture is uneven.
He Song is a very capable person, and he talked endlessly in front of Li Xin for most of the hour, then drank a few sips of water and continued to report.
The Marquis of Jing'an listened drowsily.
Just as he was about to fall asleep, he suddenly heard a word.
"Cheng Ji, the governor of Fangshan Zhichong Mansion, was transferred to the governor of Yiyang, and Zhou Qingyang was appointed as the governor of Fangshan Zhichong Mansion."
After hearing this, Li Xin, who was originally a little sleepy, suddenly opened his eyes.
"Who is Zhou Qingyang?"
He Song was stunned for a moment, and said, "It is the newly transferred lieutenant of Fangshan Zhichong Mansion who was transferred from the imperial court, and he arrived yesterday. ”
Mrs. Li's face sank like water.
"How come I don't know about such a big military attache transfer as Lieutenant Zhichong?"
He Song was even more stunned.
"This is a document issued by the imperial court, there is a survey by the Ministry of War, and the seal of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, the last general has been carefully checked, and there is no problem......
"And the general is in the capital, the last general knows for you."
Li Xin's face was even more ugly.
"This is even more coincidental, there is a survey by the Ministry of War, and I, the secretary of the Ministry of War, don't even know about it......"
