Faced with Ye Lin's request, Li Xin also fell into silence.

Originally, according to his relationship with the Ye family, as long as it does not involve core interests, they could agree. Before receiving systematic training, even if ordinary troops have firearms, they will not be particularly powerful like imperial guards.

In other words, even if he gave Ye Lin some firearms, even if he had other plans, he would not be likely to threaten the capital, but the problem is...

The current situation in Beijing is far from stable.

The two battalions of imperial guards have not been accepted by Li Xin. The capital is now under the control of the "military government" of the Southwest Army. A stable new dynasty has not been established. At this time, we must seek stability as much as possible. There cannot be any force that can threaten the capital.

Firearms are such uncertain power. At this time, it is necessary to ensure that only the Southwest Army owns firearms, so that the prestige of this "junior government" can be maintained, and no one else can do it.

Li Xin was silent for a while, looked at Ye Lin silently, and said with a wry smile: "Senior Brother, the Southwest Army is not me alone. I will hand over the firearm to you now. Even if they don't say it on the surface, they will gossip behind their backs..."

Hearing this sentence, Ye Lin instantly understood what Li Xin meant, and he let out a long sigh: "Chang'an is right, he thinks less about his brother."

Li Xin frowned and thought for a while, then said, "Senior Brother should also know that the two battalions of imperial guards have not been completely accepted by me. Even I may not be able to help them do anything at this time. However, if the senior brother cannot persuade Zhong Xuantong, I can make the decision to give the senior brother an imperial guard in Zhechong Mansion. As long as the senior brother can lead him, he will take this Zhechong Mansion north and talk to Zhong Wu to reason with him."

Ye Lin smiled on his face, he patted his chest, and his tone was extremely confident: "There are no soldiers in this world that our Ye family can't lead."

Although this sentence is a bit arrogant, it is definitely not true. The huge reputation left by Meng Ye Sheng, no matter which army it is, has a natural awe of the Ye family. As long as Ye Lin leads troops, he may be able to control the Zhechong Mansion soon.

Li Xin bowed to Ye Lin and said, "Today, Li Xin is already in control and has something to do. Please understand me, senior brother."

Ye Lin shook his head repeatedly: "To this day, it is not easy for you to listen to me say this in the middle of the night. My father read that right, you are a person worthy of entrusting."

Ye Lin took two steps back and bowed deeply to Li Xin: "Be careful when the general is in the capital. In the future, the chaos will end. I will invite the general to drink at Duke Chen's mansion."

Li Xin nodded silently, with a smile on his face: "It must."

The conversation between the two brothers ended here. It was already midnight. Li Xin had been busy all day and could not open his eyes at this moment. After seeing Ye Lin off, he returned to his residence and fell asleep.

The next morning, before dawn, Li Xin was pulled out of bed by the habit of getting up early. He changed into a regular dress, washed up briefly, and left the Jing'an Marquis Mansion and walked towards the imperial city.

Although the overall situation in the capital was decided at this time, there were countless hidden dangers hidden under this overall situation. Li Xin had many things to be busy with, and he needed to clean up these hidden dangers one by one.

The first is to reorganize the Emperor's Imperial Guards.

When the Hanzhou army entered the imperial city that day, they almost massacred the three imperial guards that were blocking their way. Now the camp of the three imperial guards in the capital is empty. These emperors and emperor guards are responsible for rotating the forbidden palace and guarding the imperial city on weekdays. In addition to the imperial guards, they are very important roles.

To put it bluntly, only by mastering the three imperial guards can you master the palace and ensure that the new emperor who ascends the throne in the future will not be in the control of Li Xin.

A Man from another world also used this method. The officials responsible for garrisoning the emperor were all confidants of Prime Minister Cao, or perhaps his son.

Now, Li Xin is going to do this too.

After arriving at the imperial city, he did not enter the palace, but sat down in the inner guard camp in the outer city of the imperial city. At this time, there were no few people left in the inner guard, and the inner guard camp was already empty.

Not long after, Mu Ying, who had been on duty in the palace all night, rubbed her eyes and walked in.

After seeing Li Xin, he smiled: "The general is considered to have come to the imperial city. If he doesn't come to his subordinates, he will give up his pick and go back to sleep."

Mu Ying has not closed her eyes for several days. Although he has a very high physical fitness, he is a little unable to hold on now, and his eyes are covered with blood.

Li Xin glanced at him, pointed to the chair opposite him, and said, "Sit down first, there is something important to discuss today."

Upon hearing this, Mu Ying immediately put away her hippie smiley expression and looked serious: "The General said that."

Li Xin sat in the main seat, looked at Mu Ying calmly, and then slowly said: "I thought about it last night that we should reorganize the emperor guards, inner guards, Qianniu guards and Yulin guards in the capital as soon as possible, and the number of people should be the same as before, with 3,200 people per battalion."

Although Mu Ying looked like a reckless man, he was actually quite smart. When he heard Li Xin say this, he immediately understood what Li Xin meant. The black-faced general frowned and thought for a while and said, "It's easy to deal with. It's not difficult to draw some from the Ningzhou Army and the Hanzhou Army, and then recruit some again. It's not difficult to get enough three battalions. The question is the candidate for the General of the Central Army, how to choose."

The Three Imperial Guards are extremely important in the capital. This position cannot be competent by selecting a captain or simply a general from the Southwest Army. First of all, he must be absolutely loyal to Li Xin, or to the Southwest Group. The second is...

People must be clever.

The position of the General of the Three Imperial Guards is directly responsible for garrisoning the imperial city. Once something happens in the capital, the General of the Three Imperial Guards must respond immediately. Therefore, these three Generals of the Three Imperial Guards must be active and not too stupid.

Mu Ying frowned and thought for a long time, but she didn't think of a suitable candidate in the Southwest Army. He looked up at Li Xin and asked, "What does the general mean?"

Li Xin narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Originally, Li Shuo should have been brought to discuss this matter together, but he was too aggressive when siegeing the city, so that the Ningzhou Army's firearms battalion suffered heavy losses. Today's matter will be removed and we will discuss it."

Speaking of this, Li Xin paused and then said in a deep voice: "I mean, I will be selected as the candidate of the Central Army General of the Yulin Guard and the Inner Guard. As for the position of the Central Army General of the Qianniu Guard, I will leave it to Brother Mu to arrange it."

Mu Ying smiled bitterly and said, "If there is a suitable candidate for the general, the three generals of the Central Army will be arranged. They are definitely not the kind of person who fights for power and profit..."

"I know this."

Li Xin smiled and said, "But Brother Mu made great contributions during the Eastern Expedition. You should not be stingy with what you should give to Brother Mu. The role of these three imperial guards in the future will be very critical. As long as they do well and the future will be very broad when the court stabilizes."

Speaking of this, he looked at Mu Ying and smiled slightly: "Brother Mu can choose a clever one from the Mu family and arrange it in this position."

Mu Ying also understood what Li Xin meant, stood up and bowed deeply to Li Xin.
