Hou Jingde's expression was a little unfavorable.

As the saying goes, "Don't slap people in the face, and swearing people without revealing their shortcomings. Li Xin's words really touched his pain."

Although his old father was not a hereditary marquis, he was also a second-rank general in the army before he retired, and was only inferior to the general of the level of the Xuantong of Ye Ming. However, in his generation, he is still a Zuo Lang general of the Yulin Guard.

A military officer from the fifth grade!

Even the youngest son of the Ye family easily climbed over to his head. When the Hou family reached his generation, it can be said that the family's fortunes were lost.

This is also the reason why Hou Jingde was depressed. It was not that he was not capable, but that he could not get involved. Secondly, his father retreated too early due to injury, so no one was taken care of in the court, and there was no marquis on him. Therefore, he was in his early forties and was still a general of the Yulin Guard.

If this continues, he will not be able to become a senior executive in another twenty years.

The tall Hou Jingde looked around carefully, then sighed to Li Xin: "Brother Li, you do things for Your Highness, so you naturally have to speak to Your Highness, but if you ask yourself, can you be promoted and rich even if I follow the King of Wei?"

Li Xin blinked and smiled and said, "Why can't it?"

"Not to mention that Your Majesty has already established the crown prince, even if the crown prince is going to be...that, the next crown prince may not be His Highness the King of Wei."

Hou Jingde coughed and said in a muffled voice: "You must know that among the four princes who stayed in Beijing, His Highness, the youngest of the King of Wei."

Li Xin smiled and said, "If you can decide the throne at the age of your age, Your Highness, now the crown prince, should have been the crown prince ten years ago."

Hou Jingde took a deep breath and finally shook his head and said, "Today, Hou was just here to congratulate Brother Li, so I won't say anything extra. If Brother Li is so alone, he will do anything with Brother Li, but Hou's family still has a family of old and young people, and I can't use their lives to bet on a future."

"Goodbye."

Li Xin shook his head.

"Brother Hou, you and I have acquaintance. Can you sit down and listen to me? "

Hou Jingde stopped, Li Xin pulled him to sit down under the pavilion in his yard, and then Li Xin pointed at himself and asked, "Brother Hou, how long have I been in the Yulin Guard?"

It is October of the 18th year of Chengde. Li Xin was the Yulin Guard who only entered the New Year after the New Year, which means it has only been about ten months now.

“less than a year.”

"How long has Brother Hou been in Yulin Guard?"

Hou Jingde took a deep breath and sighed: "It has been sixteen years."

Hou Jingde worked in the Yulin Guard for more than ten years before becoming the Zuo Lang General, and then served as the Zuo Lang General for five or six years.

Li Xin smiled and said, "Brother Hou, no one can see that when it comes to leading troops and training, I am far inferior to you. In terms of personal force, I am far inferior to you. If it is normal, I will be in the Yulin Army for more than half a year and it will be great to be promoted from deputy team to chief team leader, right?"

Hou Jingde also smiled: "I started as a lieutenant when I joined the Yulin Guard. After three years of being a lieutenant, I was promoted to the lieutenant."

"But I am now on par with Brother Hou."

Li Xin glanced at Hou Jingde lightly: "Brother Hou knows that I am working for the Wei Palace. So Brother Hou thinks that the Wei Palace, or His Highness of the King of Wei, has the ability to let me be the right general of the Yulin Guard within ten months?"

Of course there isn't.

In fact, let alone the Youlang General, even if an ordinary Yulin Lang in the Yulin Guard has no right to interfere.

This is led by the emperor, and no one except the emperor can intervene.

Hou Jingde's face changed.

He understood what Li Xin said.

This young man was able to rise to the top in the Yulin Guard and was promoted to five levels in a row within a year. Emperor Chengde promoted him.

Li Xin smiled and said, "Brother Hou should understand this matter, but has Brother Hou ever thought about why His Majesty promotes me like this?"

"Brother Hou is born into a general's family, but I am just a farmer from Yongzhou."

Hou Jingde was speechless.

Li Xin whispered: "Everyone in the government and the country knows that I am working for the Wei Palace. Your Majesty naturally knows that Brother Hou still can't see clearly the situation now?"

"Who in Beijing has the fastest promotion of my peasant family?"

Li Xin is fooling people.

The reason why he was able to climb in the court was naturally because Emperor Chengde was carrying him behind his back, but the reason why Emperor Chengde promoted him was not because of the Wei Palace, but because of the Pingnan Marquis Mansion.

The emperor wanted to use Li Xin as the tip of the gun, so he naturally had to polish the tip of the gun first. In addition, Li Xin himself could also grasp it, so he could go from being a deputy of the Yulin Guard team to the right general of the Yulin Guard within ten months.

Hou Jingde thought for a long time, and finally spoke in a stern voice: "As Brother Li said, if Your Majesty is interested in His Highness the King of Wei, why didn't you just make His Highness the King of Wei the prince a few days ago, but..."

"Because your Majesty is still undecided!"

Li Xin directly interrupted Hou Jingde's words and said in a deep voice: "If Your Majesty really wants to be a crown prince, you should choose one between His Highness Zhao, His Highness Qi and His Highness Wei. In this way, the crown prince is certain, and the dispute over the crown prince will be settled. At this time, Your Majesty has appointed the eldest prince as the crown prince. How many people will convince him of the other three princes, as well as the government and the people?"

Li Xin whispered: "The Censor of the Censorate has already lost his morality in the Crown Prince!"

Hou Jingde was suddenly shocked.

The news of the Censorate impeachment of the crown prince was blocked to the greatest extent by the Eastern Palace. Of course, Hou Jingde didn't know, but Li Xin had the Wei Palace as the source of information, and he knew much more than Hou Jingde knew.

"The prince supervises the country and governs the country. Even if there is a memorial to impeach him, it will be sent to the Eastern Palace, and it will be...

Li Xin smiled: "Brother Hou, you look a little straightforward on the surface, but when we were fighting with the inner guards at the gate of Yong'an Gate, I knew you were a smart man. The prince lived in Qin's palace for more than ten years and spent money. His Majesty suddenly asked him to supervise the country and govern the country, so how could he feel at ease?"

"I can be sure that the memorial sent to the East Palace must be copied and sent to Changle Palace!"

The tall man slowly closed his eyes, still hesitating.

After all, this is not a trivial matter. Once he stands in the wrong team, the Hou family will not be punished and at least many people will die!

Moreover, His Highness of Wei used him mostly for the troops of the Yulin Guard Zuoying. Once he had used his sword and then failed, it would be as simple as killing all the people.

At least they are the three tribes of Yi!

Li Xin stood up and whispered beside him: "Brother Hou, which emperor has been stabbed and seriously injured in ancient times? Can he let go of the personal guards who are not strongly escorted?"

The last time the emperor was assassinated in Beishan, Li Xin could be regarded as his personal guard.

According to the previous rules, whether Li Xin had saved the emperor or not, if the emperor was seriously injured, Li Xin, the Yulin Guard Youlang General, must have died.

This black-faced man was finally moved by Li Xin.

He stood up slowly and said in a muffled voice: "Brother Li, I want to meet His Highness the King of Wei first."

Li Xin smiled with his hands.
