Chapter 176 Endeavour
The General of the Central Army of the Yulin is the position that Ye Lin is now in.
Although this position is a real position, because it often doesn't take long, the previous Central Army Generals do not like to manage affairs. The current Central Army General Ye Lin almost never runs to the Yulin Guard Camp and disappears all day long.
But this is just an unwritten rule. There is no law that stipulates that the Yulin Guard General cannot take power. So when Li Xin reaches this position, he can try to hold the entire Yulin Guard in his hands!
Yulinwei is the son of an important force in the capital. As long as he can hold Yulinwei in his hand, no matter what happens in the future, the Wei Palace will have room for maneuver.
Even if Li Xin can't be in this position for a long time, he can be at least one or two years. After one or two years, Li Xin will leave his post from the position of General Secretary of the Central Army and will jump from the middle-level general to the top leadership of the Jin army.
Therefore, the position of this General of the Central Army is extremely critical.
Li Xin shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Your Highness, let alone I am still young and have shallow qualifications. Even if I am old enough, it will be difficult to get to this position if I am not from a general."
His Highness, the King of Wei, tapped the table lightly and said, "The Emperor's Guards have never been interfered with by any external forces. They have always sat in this position because the father believed that they were loyal. If one day the father thought that Brother Xin could do this position, then Brother Xin could be the General of the Yulin."
The general is different from the civil servant.
Civil officials came from the scientific research and were not hereditary. Even if the country was destroyed and the family was destroyed, these civil officials could also vote for new leaders. For example, in the current capital, there were many old ministers from Northern Zhou and Southern Shu serving in the court, but the generals were very different.
The generals usually existed when the country was founded. For example, the Zhong family army was the founding generals of the Jin Dynasty. They have been sharing weal and woe with the Ji family for more than a hundred years. The Li family of Pingnan Hou and the Duke of Chen Ye family are all relatively young generals.
The generals and sects of the Zhong Family Army are just a serious breath and destiny with the country. If the country is gone, they will be gone. Therefore, these people are the most trustworthy of the emperor. Because of this relationship, the candidates of the General of the Yulin Guard were born among the generals.
In other words, what determines this position is not the identity of the general, but the level of trust of the emperor.
Li Xin nodded.
Compared to the Seventh Prince, he knew too little about the official system, history, and various unspoken rules of the Great Jin court. After hearing what the Seventh Prince said, he felt a little enlightened.
Li Xin stood up from the chair, lowered his head and fist and said, "Your Highness, it's too early to say this now. I'll go back and prepare for it these days. The affairs of the Princess' Mansion will also be temporarily handed over. Let's go back first."
The seventh prince stood up and gave him a look, laughing: "Brother Xin, judging from this posture, the father clearly wants to promote and reuse you. As long as we don't make any mistakes and take one step at a time, the position of the General of the Central Army will not be able to escape."
Ji Wen's eyes were bright: "Yulinwei is a very heavy bargaining chip. With Yulinwei, our voices will be heavier."
Li Xin nodded and clasped his fists and said, "Your Highness, in the future, remember to just focus on doing things. Never make friends everywhere like the Fourth Prince. The Ministry of War has aroused His Majesty's vigilance. If the Fourth Prince continues like this, it will be his own way out!"
The Seventh Prince smiled happily: "When it comes to the Ministry of War, Brother Xin'er's guess is nothing wrong. Yesterday, the left minister Xie Jun, who had just issued an order, was transferred to the Censorate. The new left minister is an official from Dali Temple and is very inconsistent with the fourth brother."
These were all expected. Li Xin agreed a few words and turned around and left the Wei Palace.
For the past few days, he has been busy doing the Qianlijing business and has not even been on duty at Princess Qinghe's Mansion. Now he will be ready to leave the capital in a few days. Before that, he will have to communicate with Princess Ninth before.
No matter what, this slightly unruly princess never had any princess airs in front of Li Xin, and it was considered sincere.
In addition to the Ninth Princess, Li Xin also took most of his direct subordinates away when he went to the north, and the defense work of Princess Qinghe Mansion also needs to be re-delivered.
In the afternoon, Li Xin returned to Princess Qinghe's Mansion.
This is the hottest time of the year, and the Ninth Princess is unwilling to go out in the scorching sun. Li Xin easily found her in the "ice room" of the princess's mansion.
After seeing Li Xin, the princess's little head raised high and turned her head aside, which made her meaning very obvious.
I'm angry!
Coaxing this princess is one of the easiest things in the world. Li Xin showed a paper bag from behind and handed it to Ji Lingxiu.
In the paper bag, there is a freshly fried golden crispy chicken.
This was made by Li Xin in the kitchen of the Princess's Mansion.
The Ninth Princess's eyes lit up. She "extremely reluctantly" took the paper bag, and while pulling off a chicken leg with chopsticks, she glanced at Li Xin: "Where have you been there these days?"
"Although you used to like to run around, you would come to the Princess Mansion a few times a day. These days, I asked Zhu Ke and the others, and they said you haven't come to the Princess Mansion for several days!"
Princess Qinghe gritted her teeth while gnawing at the chicken legs: "As the chief guard of the princess's mansion, you have neglected your duties and left the position without permission. I want to go to my father to sue you for dereliction of duty!"
Li Xin gave her a blank look and said helplessly: "It's not the Qianli Milestone you presented to His Majesty. In the past few days, I and several old craftsmen from the Ministry of Works have put a lot of effort into it. I only finished it this morning and sent it to the palace."
While speaking, Li Xin handed over a handkerchief and signaled her to wipe the oil stains on her mouth.
Princess Ninth knows what Li Xin has been doing these days. The reason why she makes such a fuss is to make a fuss. After taking the handkerchief, she wiped her mouth and looked up at Li Xin: "You have been so busy these days. Have your father given you any reward?"
"Of course there is."
The Ninth Princess's eyes lit up and she snorted: "I dedicate this Qianli Mile Mile Mile to my father. If you have any reward, you have to give me half of it."
Li Xin found a chair and sat down, giving the ninth princess a blank look.
"Your Majesty rewards me to take the Yulin Guard out of the capital and escort a batch of military funds to the Beidi Town Beijun. Will Your Highness share half of this reward?"
The Ninth Princess had a smile on her face, but she suddenly froze on her face when she heard this.
"Didn't you just come back from Southern Xinjiang? Why did you want to leave Beijing again?"
Captain Li shrugged his shoulders and smiled casually: "The so-called capable people work harder."
"You're still laughing!"
The Ninth Princess's eyes turned red and sat on the chair and looked at Li Xin angrily: "Heartless!"
The little daughter's mind is the most emotional, especially at the age of the Ninth Princess, she can cry when she sees the spring flowers falling on the ground, not to mention that this "sweetheart" who speaks interestingly, cooks deliciously, and is very capable, wants to stay away from herself?
Seeing that she really shed tears, Li Xin shook his head helplessly and sat down on a chair next to Princess Ninth.
"Your Highness, if I had been in the capital, I would probably have never had the chance to return to the Princess's Mansion again in my life. Can you understand?"
Ji Lingxiu wiped her tears and looked at Li Xin with red eyes.
She is from a royal family and is very smart, so she can naturally understand it.
Li Xin is now just a seventh-rank captain. If he stays in the capital and cannot find any opportunity, he will still be a captain in the next few years or even ten years, and there will not be too many opportunities for him to climb.
If Li Xin wants to be qualified to marry a princess, he must work hard to get promoted, work hard to make progress, and try to please his future father-in-law during this period.
The Ninth Princess blinked her long eyelashes and bit her teeth lightly.
"Then when will you... come back?"
