Chapter 174: Pulling Out

"His Majesty-"

Li Xin smiled bitterly and said, "I have just returned from southern Xinjiang. Besides, the transportation of military supplies should be the responsibility of the Ministry of War-"

"If you ask you to go, go."

Emperor Chengde said calmly: "It was not your turn to go if you wanted to go. This is because you made these thousands of miles of mirrors, and I will appreciate you."

His Majesty the Emperor said calmly: "You will take the lieutenant camp under your command. If you don't have enough staff, you can ask Ye Lin to transfer another lieutenant camp. Your lieutenant is too low. Looking back, I will be promoted to the Yulin Guard Commander and bring 400 people to escort the liquor to the north."

Only then did Li Xin realize that this emperor wanted to be appointed as an official for himself.

If Li Xin was twenty-seven or eight years old now, no matter what kind of official position he was, it would not be too abrupt. However, he is only seventeen years old now. Most young people of this age in the capital are still studying in the school to prepare for the exam for scholars. It is already very criticized that Li Xin became the Yulin Guard Captain at this age. If he was promoted in a short period of time, Li Xin would become a hot spot in the capital.

Therefore, Emperor Chengde wanted Li Xin to go to the north so that he could take this opportunity to quietly promote Li Xin to the commander of the Yulin.

You know, there are 400 people under one command, and the entire Yulin Guard has only 8 commanders.

Except for Li Xin, most of the other commanders were Zhang Qiong's age, and they were young at the age of thirty, and most of them were around forty.

Emperor Chengde narrowed his eyes and said, "The first time you brought so many people out of the capital, you will probably not know what to do, or you may make mistakes. When you are selecting people in Yulin Guard, it is best to choose one or two old lieutenants with experience in bringing people and go with you."

Good guy, this emperor even thought of this, he just made it clear...

Speaking of this, Li Xin had to go if he didn't want to go. After all, there was no room for refusal in the face of imperial power.

Fortunately, the task this time is not heavy and not as dangerous as southern Xinjiang. According to the emperor's wishes, after he returns from the north, he can become the captain of the Yulin Guard.

Seventeen-year-old Yulin Commander!

Li Xin took a deep breath and bent over and said, "Sir, obey the order!"

Emperor Chengde waved his hand: "Okay, you go down first. Be prepared in the next few days. After Lao Qi gets a hundred jars of wine in a few days, you can set off to the north. If you have any needs, go to Ye Lin, and I will say hello to him."

Li Xin respectfully replied.

He is now the captain of the Yulin Guard, and he has a 200 lieutenant camp. This time, the Emperor Chengde allowed him to lead 400 people, which means that he became the captain of the Yulin Guard in advance.

This is the Emperor's intention to promote himself.

You should know that Zhang Qi, who is also working in the Yulin Guard, has been working as the Yulin Guard Captain for more than ten years. If it weren't for Li Xin's squeeze out his position as the school captain, he would probably still be a school captain and would not be the position of the Yulin Guard Captain.

You know, half a year ago, Li Xin was just a poor man who almost froze to death in Beishan. He took the risk of writing a big-character poster to attack the emperor in order to survive.

In just half a year, Li Xin has met too many people in this capital and encountered too many things...

After Li Xin bowed and left the palace, Emperor Chengde took out the golden dragon-patterned Qianlijing and played with it for a while, and finally laughed at the eunuch who was serving beside him: "This Li Xin is really not like a 16 or 17-year-old boy at all. He said that he was a county magistrate who was in his forties and was disappointed in his career. I also believed it."

Due to the level of his previous life, the workplace methods that Li Xin was proficient in were actually not very clever in the officialdom. For example, he used this dragon-patterned method to please Emperor Chengde, but in the eyes of Emperor Chengde, this method is a low-level method that can be used at the county magistrate's level.

Chen Ju also smiled: "Your Majesty, Captain Li is still young after all. Although this Qianlijing is not pleasing, he has his heart after all."

Emperor Chengde shook his head: "I don't mean he has no mind. I always feel that he doesn't look like a young man when doing things and speaking, especially this time, it's like a way for some poor county magistrates to take the lead."

Chen Ju put the dragon-carved Qianli Mile Mile Mile into the box, lowered his head and smiled: "You don't like this, I'll just put it away for you."

Emperor Chengde smiled and said, "It's not a question of not being disliked. Although this thing is tacky, it's really more powerful after watching it for a long time. Go find a shelf and put it in my study."

Chen Ju nodded respectfully: "Old slave obeys the order."

On the other side, Li Xin, after leaving the palace, returned to Datongfang while thinking.

Judging from his current appearance, the Emperor Chengde Ji Man probably really wanted to use himself to deal with the Marquis of Pingnan in southern Xinjiang, otherwise he would not have been so anxious to promote himself.

But no matter what, this is a good thing for Li Xin. This means that Li Xin, who was trembling in the capital half a year ago, has finally gained some of his own foothold in the capital.

Yulin Commander-

A sixth-rank military officer!

As long as you go up to two levels, you can reach the position of the Yulin Central Army General. Although the Yulin Central Army General is only a fifth-rank official, he actually has extremely strong authority. When he reaches this position, he can have his own voice when speaking in the capital.

Of course, the premise is that you cannot be a central general like Ye Lin who is undermined by the left and right generals.

As he is now, Li Xin may really be the position of General of the Yulin Guard, who is not competent in his role as a commoner.

If you can fully master the Yulin Guard, then your influence in the capital will be greatly enhanced, whether it is Li Xin or the Wei Palace.

Just as he was thinking about this, Li Xin had already walked out of the imperial city. Outside the imperial city was Yonglefang. The fourth prince in white clothes was sitting under the shade of willows at the entrance of Yonglefang to drink tea. Li Xin glanced at him and walked slowly over.

The Seventh Prince has been waiting for Li Xin here for a long time.

Today is the day when the Ministry of Works seeks credit. It is logical that the Seventh Prince should have gone to meet the emperor in person, but in order to prevent being criticized by the outside world, His Highness the King of Wei did not go in with them, but waited for Li Xin to come back in Yonglefang.

When the seventh prince saw Li Xin coming over, he laughed and said, "I just saw Zhao Gong running out in a hurry. I thought something had happened inside. Fortunately, Zhao Gong said that his father was very happy, even if this matter was not done."

As a prince, the official title and other things come to an end as soon as he is born, and there is no way to go further. Therefore, the Seventh Prince doesn't care about the credit for the promotion of the title. He cares about the emperor's holy family. Not to mention anything else, only the word "long-faced and happy" makes His Highness the King of Wei feel that it is worthy of it.

Li Xin also sat down under the willow shade. He looked at the seventh prince deeply and said

"Your Highness, Your Majesty said just now that when your Highness steams a hundred jars of strong wine, I will ask me to take the Yulin Guard to escort these wines to General Ye Ming from the north."

The seventh prince stood up under the willow shade and frowned slightly.

"This matter is usually the Ministry of War responsible for transporting it, so how could it fall on you?"
