Chapter 278: Threading the Needle
His Royal Highness the King of Wei stiffened, and then suddenly looked up at Li Xin, his eyes full of inquiry.
Li Xin nodded with a smile: "Your Highness, Hou Jingde is willing to see you." β
The tea in the Seventh Prince's hand almost spilled, and he took several deep breaths before he could barely calm down.
"Brother Xin'er's handwriting?"
If Hou Jingde is not on the side of Wei Wangfu, then the right battalion of Yulin Wei under Li Xin is basically equal to nothing, and it will be watched by Hou Jingde's department.
And with Hou Jingde, the entire Yulinwei can be used by the Wei Palace!
Aside from the forbidden army outside the city, more than 3,000 Lin Wei are basically a small half of the armed forces in the capital, and if they can hold this force in their hands, the Wei Wangfu can not only advance and retreat to a certain extent, but even ......
You can even consider a palace change!
Because there are only internal guards left in the capital, and the strength of Yulin Wei is roughly equal to that of internal guards, as long as some small means are done on the side of internal guards, the success rate of the mutiny will be very high!
Li Xin smiled slightly: "Today, Hou Jingde came to my house to celebrate my housewarming, and I had time to chat with him a few more words, this person is quite unwilling to live in the current situation, thinking about climbing up again, I caught this pass, and finally made him through." β
The Seventh Prince laughed: "Brother Xin can be regarded as helping me solve the trouble in my heart!" β
"With Hou Jingde, Yu Linwei is the knife in our hands!"
Li Xin smiled: "Far more than one Yu Linwei. β
His Royal Highness King Wei turned his head to look at Li Xin, and asked with a smile, "What does Brother Xin mean?" β
Li Xin bowed his head slightly, and said indifferently: "Your Highness, haven't you forgotten that Yu Linwei has not only two Lang generals on the left and right, but also a Zhonglang general?" β
"And that Zhonglang will ......"
Speaking of this, a treacherous smile appeared on Li Xin's face: "The surname is Ye!" β
If the right camp and the left camp of Yulinwei fall to the Wei Palace, then in the case that Zhonglang ignores Ye Lan, it is equivalent to the entire Yulinwei falling to the Wei Palace, and the time will ...... As a Zhonglang general, Ye Lan will inevitably be pulled into the water!
It doesn't matter if he's in charge of Yulin Wei or not!
Ye Lan is the youngest son of Chen Guogong Ye Sheng, the younger brother of the general Ye Ming, if he is dragged into the water, the Ye family will not be clean!
The Ye family is the first general of today's Great Jin Dynasty, and it is a veteran general, and compared with Ye Sheng, the Duke of Chen Guogong who destroyed the Northern Zhou Dynasty, it is also much inferior!
Ye Sheng, the Chen Guogong who is still alive, I don't know how many are in the old department of the upper and lower protΓ©gΓ©s of the Manchu Dynasty!
If Ye Sheng, the Duke of Chen, can come forward to support His Royal Highness the King of Wei, then this throne will be directly more than 20% certain.
His Royal Highness King Wei was so little by Li Xin, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he stroked his palms and laughed: "Brother Xin, you are really amazing!" β
Li Xin bowed his head slightly and said with a smile: "These are all afterwords, and the top priority is to completely pull Hou Jingde to our side." β
His Royal Highness the King of Wei narrowed his eyes: "Since Brother Xin can persuade him to see me, then he has actually succeeded eighty percent, and the remaining twenty percent depends on whether I, the King of Wei, can help me up." β
"Where does Hou Jingde want to see me?"
Li Xin bowed his head slightly: "He didn't want to come to the Wei Palace, but he was still at my house, and he made an appointment for tonight." β
"Then let's go."
His Royal Highness King Wei looked down at himself, and then said with a smile: "I'll go change my clothes, let's go to Datongfang, and after a while, it will also show my sincerity." β
After a while, the carriage of the Wei Wangfu slowly set out and walked in the direction of Datongfang, in the carriage, His Royal Highness the King of Wei changed into a purple dress, pulled Li Xin's sleeve and said with a smile: "Brother Xin, if I ascend the throne, you will be the first hero of the new dynasty!" β
Li Xin smiled silently.
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
Around midnight, the gate of Li Xin's courtyard was knocked on time.
Li Xin went over and opened the door, only to see a man in black standing at the door, masked with a black scarf, looking very much like an assassin in a later TV series.
Li Xin was startled at first, then glanced at the size of this "assassin", and then breathed a sigh of relief.
"Brother Hou, there's no need to be so cautious, right?"
This "assassin" took off his scarf and revealed a dark face, which was none other than Hou Jingde, the current general of Yulin Weizuolang.
Zuo Lang smiled bitterly: "My life is tied to my life, so I have to be cautious." β
He said solemnly to Li Xin: "Brother Li, say it in advance, if you talk about it, you and I will be brothers in life and death in the future, if you can't talk about it, everyone is still colleagues, but only because I haven't been here!" β
When he said this, he was obviously worried that the Wei Wangfu would use him to meet the prince to blackmail him.
Li Xin tugged at his sleeve and pulled him into the courtyard.
"Brother Hou, if you can't talk, you turn around and leave, we can't forcibly take you afterwards, even if we take you, you deny it, who can catch you?"
"Besides, if I and others fail, we will all lose our heads, and there is no reason for the younger brother to pull Brother Hou's family for no reason."
Hou Jingde breathed a sigh of relief and walked into the courtyard.
In the courtyard, His Royal Highness the King of Wei, dressed in purple, had already stood up and arched his hand at Hou Jingde: "I have heard about General Hou's courage for a long time, and when I see it today, it really deserves its name!" β
This kind of greeting words, Hou Jingde has heard a lot on weekdays, but when these words come out of the mouth of a prince, the weight is very different, this tall man bowed his head and hugged his fists, and said respectfully: "Humble Hou Jingde, meet His Royal Highness King Wei!" β
Comparatively speaking, Hou Jingde is much more respectful.
After all, when Li Xin got along with His Royal Highness King Wei, he was more from the perspective of a friend, and the relationship between Hou Jingde and His Royal Highness King Wei had not yet been established, but it was already very clear.
Pure up-and-down relationship.
The Seventh Prince stood up and stretched out his hand to lead: "General Hou, are we talking in the study?" β
Hou Jingde glanced back at Li Xin.
Li Xin smiled: "Brother Hou, this is a matter between you and His Royal Highness King Wei, naturally the two of you will talk about it in detail, and I will also sort out the text of Yulin Wei's right camp, so I won't participate." β
Hou Jingde was silent for a while, and finally nodded slowly.
The Seventh Prince smiled indifferently and took the lead in entering the study.
The tall Hou Jingde also stepped in.
Li Xin glanced at the study, finally shook his head, walked into his room, and coughed: "Ah Qin, bring a basin of foot washing water." β
Today's Li Xin is no longer the poor boy he was at the beginning, with ten maids to serve, he doesn't have to boil hot water by himself.
After a while, a tall maid walked in with a basin of hot water and placed it at Li Xin's feet.
"Master, will you let the maidservant wash your feet?"
Li Xin shook his head: "You go out, remember to close the doors and windows." β
Damn, these maids are all sent by the "future uncle", maybe there are spies in them, if the ninth princess knows, although she can't help herself, but this girl will be miserable!
After washing his feet beautifully, Li Xin fell asleep.
When he woke up the next day, the Seventh Prince and Hou Jingde were gone.
