Chapter 217 All rely on the mouth
In order to balance the court, the various forces of the Dajin were almost symmetrical in pairs.
For example, there are two armies in the north, the capital city has two Yulin Guards and the inner Guards, and even the Yulin Guards are divided into two parts, and they are under the leadership of the two Lang generals.
In this case, it is common to have conflicts and confrontations between the two sides.
Hou Jingde was a Zuo Lang general in the 13th year of Chengde, and Li Ji was in the 14th year of Chengde. Both of them worked as veterans for four or five years. It can be said that there were constant conflicts. At the beginning, there were some acting for the emperor to see, but later it became a real opposition.
This is also the reason why Li Xin came to find Hou Jingde.
The enemy of the enemy can be friends, and Li Xin was originally Hou Jingde's "old subordinate", and the two of them had a relationship of incense.
Hou Jingde put down the wine bowl in his hand, turned around and glanced at Li Xin holding the wine bowl.
No drinking is allowed in Yulin Guards. This is a rule. Hou Jingde violates the ban all year round, and there is nothing wrong. However, Li Xin is willing to violate the ban with Hou Jingde, so he wants to stand aside with him.
The seemingly rude man put down the wine bowl in his hand, looked at Li Xin deeply, and then smiled: "Brother Li, Li Ji has fallen, what are the benefits of you?"
It is normal for two people to be opponents for several years, and it is a normal thing for them to find a handle in their hands. The key is to see how to use the handle, who will use it, and whether it is powerful enough.
Li Xin blinked.
“May be replaced.”
hiss……
Hou Jingde was a little surprised.
You must know that this young man has just been promoted to the Chief Commander for not long!
Hou Jingde glanced at Li Xin and shook his head and said, "Brother, it is a good thing for young people to have ambitions, but the old brother said more, "As soon as you are promoted, the better, the most important thing is to be stable. You are still young now and have just been promoted to the Chief Commander. You should polish your position as Chief Commander for a few years and bring out a group of your own teams. When you climb up in the future, you will be much more at ease."
Hou Jingde coughed and continued, "Otherwise, even if you reach the position of Lang General, you will not be able to sit steadily."
Hou Jingde's words did consider Li Xin. It is a good thing to set goals in the officialdom, but the most important thing is to take every step under your feet. 3 Only by being down-to-earth can you go further and further.
In Hou Jingde's opinion, Li Xin was too anxious.
Li Xin naturally understood this truth. The reason why many people suddenly climbed high positions and couldn't last long is because they lacked the accumulation of foundation, or some of the family background they slowly brought out.
Take Li Xin as an example. He now has 400 people under his command, most of whom are young. As long as he takes care of himself for a few years, he can bring out several sentry officers or even lieutenants. At that time, Li Xin will be promoted again, and these people can become the backbone of Li Xin's command.
However, if Li Xin had become a general of Lang, these people would be useless. You should know that a general of Lang has four chief lieutenants, each chief lieutenant with four hundred people. Li Xin could command his own 400 people, but he still won the prestige of sharing joys and sorrows and hardships, and suddenly commanded the entire Yulin Guard Right Camp. It is actually a ridiculous thing.
However, this matter was proposed by Emperor Chengde.
No matter how wrong the request is, it will become a natural thing to go to the emperor.
Li Xin narrowed his eyes and said, "You can save yourself any humble positions. Humble positions are not the kind of people who are eager for quick success or instant benefits, just..."
Li Xin lowered his voice.
"This is what the Holy Emperor ordered!"
The banner that should be pulled must be pulled. Although if Hou Jingde asks Emperor Chengde, the emperor would probably not admit it, but with Hou Jingde's IQ, he would not dare to ask the emperor in person.
Hou Jingde, who had been relaxing, suddenly became nervous.
His face changed several times, and he obviously had already thought of Li Xin's words in his heart.
Your Majesty wants to attack Li Ji? Why? Do you need to know the Li family of Zhao County or to attack the Marquis of Pingnan...
Thinking of this, Hou Jingde shivered and turned to look at Li Xin.
"Brother Li, is there any evidence for this matter?"
Li Xin shook his head and said, "How can there be evidence for such a thing?"
Hou Jingde gave out a long sigh and smiled, "Then how should I believe this?"
"No one would joke about something like this."
Li Xin looked solemn: "General Lang, please put yourself in your shoes and think about it. If you are in my position and do not have the will of the Holy Emperor, would you go to General Youlang for no reason?"
Obviously not.
Li Xin should have developed in a vulgar way, but Emperor Chengde insisted on trying to help the growth and forcibly promote Li Xin, which led to the current situation.
Hou Jingde looked straight, but he was a meticulous person. The man closed his eyes and thought for a while, then slowly opened his eyes and looked at Li Xin: "Brother Li, I believe you."
He had no choice but to believe it.
After thinking about Li Xin's promotion speed, only that holy emperor could do it!
The general Zuolang Yulin grinned and showed two rows of not very white teeth.
"But what benefits do I have after this is done?"
Li Xin blinked: "Do you want to jump out of the Yulin Guard?"
The emperor's personal army is very majestic, but that's actually the case in the court. After all, as the chief official of the Yulin Guard, he is only a fifth-rank official. This is actually a yamen who is a bit vague.
The top generals like the Zhong family and the Ye family rarely enter the Yulin Guard and they all surrender directly to the army.
Ye Lin, the youngest son of the Ye family, rarely interferes in the matter of Yulin Guard even if he becomes a general in the Yulin Guard. One of the reasons is naturally because he is just a passerby, and more importantly, he does not look down on this yamen that is a fifth-rank official.
You should know that Ye Lin’s eldest brother, Ye Ming, the chief general of Zhenbei Army, has already been a first-rank Shaobao. In comparison, this fifth-rank Zhonglang General is too inconspicuous.
Hou Jingde was quite moved.
The Yulin Guard's General was rarely promoted internally, and they were all externally transferred. In other words, his career in Yulin Guard had actually reached its peak. Hou Jingde's old father was a military marquis who made contributions half a year ago, but this title was not hereditary. After the old man died, the Hou family lost the title.
If Hou Jingde stayed in Yulinwei for the rest of his life, he would be like this for the rest of his life.
He is in his forties this year.
Hou Jingde turned to look at Li Xin and said in a deep voice: "Brother Li has a way to make the old brother jump out of the Yulin Guard?"
“There is no way to do it right now.”
Li Xin coughed and wrote a blank check: "But if General Lang helps Beizhi do this, Beizhi can help General Lang plan something, and there will always be a chance to send General Lang to a higher position in the future."
"Even if Bei Zhi is incompetent and cannot help General Lang. Lang Jiang helps Bei Zhi do this, he will have more favorable feelings for the Holy Emperor."
Hou Jingde felt awe-inspiring in his heart.
After hearing what Li Xin said, Your Majesty is indeed going to attack the Li family.
The man laughed and said in a muffled voice: "I have long disliked that thief Li Ji. Brother Li, don't worry, this matter is to the old brother!"
Li Xin breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
Without strength...
