Unparalleled Concubine

   Chapter 665 The Way is Different

   Eighteen years have passed since Chengde, and what happened that night has already become blurred with time, and not many people remember that winter night, which turned into a scarlet palace city.

   But Li Xin remembers.

At the beginning, because of the assassination of the emperor, only 400 people were left in the 1,600 people in the Yulinwei Youying Battalion, and there were only 400 people in a commander's battalion directly under Li Xin. Together with the Yulinwei Zuoying, there were more than 2,000 people in total, which was close to the Ye family. Thousands of songs together, the Miyagi who entered together!

   That night, several people ascended to the sky in one step, including the current Emperor Taikang and Li Xin himself.

Emperor Taikang may have forgotten that cold night, but Li Xin still remembers that that night, they killed nearly 3,000 people who attacked the city. Of the seven hundred people, more than half of the two thousand Yu Lin Wei were killed or injured.

   It was the blood of these people that dyed Miyagi red that night.

Of course, there is also the blood of the inner guard. The inner guard suffered more casualties that night, and almost the entire army was wiped out. However, it is ridiculous that the inner guard was reactivated by the present emperor afterwards, but the Yulin guard was gradually neglected. .

Li Xin has endured this matter for a long time. At first, he thought that the emperor was worried that he would control Yulinwei too much, so he would use the inner guard and the Qianniu guard to alienate Yulinwei, but now eight years have passed, Li Xin had completely let go of Yulinwei, and Emperor Taikang still distrusted the old man Yulinwei.

   Perhaps only when the group of old people under Li Xin's hands died, the emperor could let go of his guard against Yu Linwei.

   Looking at Li Xin's serious face, Emperor Taikang was stunned for a while, and then smiled lightly: "Aren't you talking about the Ministry of War, why did you mention these old things all of a sudden?"

   The four words "Renchen Palace change" were taboos in the Taikang Dynasty. If someone else mentioned this matter in front of the emperor, they would not talk about it now, at least count cockroaches in the prison.

   But the emperor gave Li Xin some face, and he chose not to take up this topic.

  The Marquis of Jing An knelt on the ground, was silent for a while, and said, "Your Majesty, this minister just thinks...you are biased towards Yu Linwei."

   "Why is it biased?"

The smile on Tianzi's face subsided a little, he still had a light tone, and said: "Since I mentioned the old things of the year, then I will say a few words, Yu Linwei did a lot of work in that incident, but After the incident, Yulinwei also got what he deserved."

"At that time, there were more than 1,100 people in the Yulin Guard who survived, among them more than 100 people above the corps commander, among these more than 100 people, as long as they are above the captain, I have promoted them out of Yulin. Guards, arranged in various yamen in the capital, at least a sixth-rank military attache."

   "After eight years, although I have not deliberately promoted them, I have not suppressed them. Among these people, some of them are more nimble and have achieved the fifth grade or even the fourth grade."

   Having said this, the emperor glanced at Li Xin and continued: "As for those who died in the battle of Yulinwei, the court gave three times the pension."

Emperor Taikang walked in front of Li Xin, stretched out his hand to help Li Xin up, and then said solemnly: "Yu Linwei has helped me, and I also remember this old love in my heart, but love is love, and business is business. Since Emperor Wu, the inner guard has been the gateway to the forbidden palace, and I have never treated Yu Linwei harshly, but I just don't want the two yamen to clash again."

In the past, there were no four Qianniu Guards. There were frequent conflicts between the Yulin Guards and the Imperial Guards, and the contradictions were not small. Later, when the Imjin Palace changed, Yulin Guard and the Ye family almost killed the Neiwei guards. Once it's cleaned up, the hatred will end.

   However, the inner guards of the Taikang Dynasty and the inner guards of the Chengde Dynasty are no longer the same team in their bones. This reason is actually a bit far-fetched.

Li Xin slowly stood up from the ground, lowered his eyebrows and said, "I know that Your Majesty is not sorry for Yulinwei, but please have more trust in Yulinwei's old people, they are also His Majesty's pro-military and His Majesty's loyal ministers. ."

   "In Yulinwei Zuoying, many old brothers are still wounded, but they haven't guarded the Forbidden Palace for five or six years."

Li Xin took a deep breath and said solemnly: "In the beginning, they were the ones who sacrificed their lives... I didn't ask for anything in return... But after all the hard work, they were reduced from the forbidden army to the security army. Zhaofufuding is no different…”

   "Your Majesty, people's hearts are cold..."

  The emperor frowned slightly when he heard this.

   He was silent for a while, then said, "After talking for a long time, do you mean that you want Yulinwei to take turns in the Forbidden Palace again?"

"The Yulin Guards are still the imperial guards so far, and no one's identity has been shaken. Their rations are also distributed according to the imperial guards, which are even more than those of the Qianniu guards. Since they are the emperor's own army, how to arrange them should be It's my business."

   Emperor Taikang took a deep breath and said, "Is this the truth that Li Shangshu said?"

  The atmosphere in Weiyang Palace suddenly became solemn.

  There was a head-on conflict for the first time between the ruler and the minister.

   The source of this conflict is that there was a deviation in the thinking of the two people. Li Xin wanted treatment for Yulinwei and the emperor. It was not a material treatment, but he wanted the emperor not to treat Yulinwei as an outsider.

   But the emperor thought that Li Xin insisted on letting Yulinwei guard the Forbidden Palace again.

The matter of Yu Linwei's surname Li has been deeply rooted in the heart of the Taikang emperor as early as eight years ago. Otherwise, if Li Xin raised his arms at that time, there would not have been two thousand Yu Linwei screaming desperately. Under such circumstances, Li Xin somehow wanted to arrange for Yulin Guard to guard the Forbidden Palace. Of course, the emperor would have some bad ideas.

   This is the difference of Tao.

   However, in this conflict, Li Xin finally chose to back down.

   He took a deep breath, took two steps back, bowed his head and clasped his fists: "Yu Linwei is the emperor's own army, and he is not a subordinate of the minister. This is the minister who talks too much."

   "This is Your Majesty's private matter, and this minister should not speak up. Please forgive me."

Emperor Taikang, who has always been obedient to Li Xinyan, just said a "serious word" to Li Xin for the first time. At this time, he was also a little uneasy in his heart. After seeing Li Xin actively bowing his head, the emperor also grew a little With a breath, he smiled reluctantly at Li Xin: "Changan, you are from Yulinwei, so it is normal to say a few words for them. I will carefully consider what you say. If it is appropriate, Yulinwei will participate in the guarding of the Forbidden Palace as soon as possible."

   Li Xin was expressionless and bent down deeply.

   "Your Majesty, the matter of Yulinwei has nothing to do with the minister. The minister's military department still has something to do, so I will retire first."

  The Emperor was silent for a while, then waved his hand.

   "Then go ahead, you're almost done, there's no need to work too hard."

  Li Xin nodded and slowly exited Weiyang Palace.

   He just took two steps back when he heard the emperor on the throne speak slowly.

   "Chang'an."

  Li Xin stopped, looked up at the emperor, saw the hesitation on his face, then immediately lowered his head and bowed his hands respectfully.

   "The minister is here."

  The Son of Heaven hesitated for a while, and finally said: "The...that thing in those days, if you can don't mention it in the future, it's better not to mention it."

  The Marquis of Jingan bowed his hands respectfully.

   "My minister, obey the holy will."
