Chapter 130 Expansion 4
At first, Zhao Xin listened to his story, but he felt a little compassion in his heart, thinking that since he was not bad at it, he would help him enter the Yulin. When he heard the words later, he was shocked. He looked at him stunned and said for a while, "Are you kidding? Do you mean you want me to help you get the position of Captain Yulin for you?"
After saying that, I felt funny and couldn't help laughing a few times, but I saw the young man nod directly and said seriously: "Captain Zhao, I know that ordinary people will feel ridiculous if they listen to this request, but I can guarantee that my talent is absolutely qualified for the position of lieutenant. If not, I would like to apologize in front of the captain.
When he spoke, his tone was firm, but his face was extremely firm, which made Zhao Xin couldn't help but be a little suspicious.
After hesitating for a while, he smiled bitterly and said, "Brother, don't you think your request is a little too much? After all, I'm just a little lieutenant Yulin. Yulin's army is the close guard of the master's father. Any general's selection is a reliable person who needs him to do it himself. It's obviously difficult for you to force people to say this to me now.
The young man insisted: "I also know these, but I know that the master usually favors the captain very much. If you recommend me, the master will definitely call me to see me. The master's father is only useful, and he has always been a bold promotion for talented people regardless of his background. I am confident that if the master can see me, he will like my talent.
"What's more, I also learned that there is a lieutenant in the Yulin Army. It's better to cultivate his own cronies than to take advantage of others for nothing, don't you think so?"
Zhao Xin was stunned and said with vigilance on his face; "How did you know?"
It turned out that after the expansion of Yulin's army, it would be divided into two battalions, each led by two lieutenants. The situation of Yulin Army is a little special. Originally, there were only more than 300 people, with only one lieutenant and three Qu Hou, namely Zhang Xin, Li Wei, and Zhao Quan, who was far away in Handan. Zhao Quan became excellent in the riding and shooting of Congtai, and he was a direct relative of the royal family. He was appointed by his father as Yulin Quhou. Only because the leg injury was not completely healed, he stayed in Handan.
Zhao Xin won the battle of the grassland and became a lieutenant of Yulin. Later, he was wise and brave in the battle against Zhongshan. He was exceptionally promoted to a captain by his master. Although his authority has not changed, his level has gone up. Zhang Xin and Li Wei rose and naturally became lieutenants, but Zhao Quan, who was idle in Handan, couldn't stand it. Thinking that Zhao Xin wanted to become his immediate superior and would not stay in Yulin, he applied for a transfer to the guard.
According to Zhao Xin's idea, the two battalions of Yulin were naturally commanded by two lieutenants, Zhang Xin and Li Wei. Unexpectedly, Zhang Xin was suddenly transferred to the front line of Shangdang County as a real-power lieutenant and led the elite cavalry of the whole battalion. Although Zhao Xin did not ask, he had also guessed that it must be the result of his father's Shangdang County guard Zhang Shi's running. After all, the main general in the elite border cavalry is far better than slowly struggling in the Yulin. Moreover, his father Zhang Shi is taking care of him. It is only a matter of time before he rises.
Zhang Xin's transfer has not been announced yet, so there are not many people in the outside world. Zhao Xin was surprised how he could know.
But the young man said frankly, "I have familiar people in Yulin, and they told me all this news."
Zhao Xin couldn't help but be stunned. It took him a long time to laugh and said, "My brother is confident and well-informed. Even I am almost conquered by your self-confidence."
"But it's important at this time, and I dare not dare to promise you. Besides, what I know about you is empty-mouthed, and there is no basis. I need to send someone to investigate before I can make a conclusion. It's getting late today. Why don't you go home and wait for a few days? I'll think about it carefully before I give you a reply. Brother, Taiwan University can rest assured that whether I promise or not, I will definitely give you an answer.
When the young man saw that Zhao Xin had let go, he knew in his heart that this kind of thing could not be easily agreed, so he bowed deeply to Zhao Xin and said, "Whether this happens or not, I will be grateful to you. I have never owed anyone in my life, and I owe you once today.
After saying that, he bowed again, then turned around and strode away, and acted decisively.
Zhao Xin looked at his slowly disappearing back, and his heart was a little strange. He only felt that he was a little related to this person. Suddenly, I remembered that I didn't ask him what his name was, but since he said his surname was Zhao, he had been a minor official under his father, so he asked his father when he was eating.
I didn't think much about it, so I went straight to the hall. When he arrived in the hall, Li had already prepared dinner. Seeing that Zhao Xin came back so late, he couldn't help complaining a few times. He called someone to the study and called Zhao Kuo, and the family of three had a meal.
At the dinner table, Zhao Xin was absent-mindedly eating and looking at his father with a serious expression. As soon as he opened his mouth to speak, he was gently knocked on the edge of the bowl with his chopsticks and warned: "No words, no words."
Zhao Xin was a little speechless. He thought that he hadn't seen him for more than half a year. His father was still so old-fashioned. It was really boring. He didn't know how the beautiful old lady like this nerd at the beginning.
After hasty dinner, Li called the servants to remove the bowls and chopsticks, and let people serve two cups of tea. Knowing that the father and son had something to say, it was a little inconvenient for his wife to be on the side, so he found an excuse to leave.
"How's the selection of Yulin today?" Zhao Ao put up the tea cup and asked softly.
Zhao Xin nodded and said, "It's going well. This time, the master asked Lou Xiang to be right. I'm just assisting, so I didn't have any idea. It's basically run by Lou Xiang."
"Ye-huh." Zhao Jian nodded with satisfaction.
" Lou Huan is a national prime minister, and his status is not small in the heart of the master. What he does is not at the behest of his father, so you just need to say less and do more. Don't make any decisions, just let him make the decision. Otherwise, it may be thankless, and after a hard time, it will not be the Lord's will.
"I know my father."
Zhao Ya picked up the tea again, slowly took it in several times, meditated for a long time and said, "According to your judgment, do you feel that the master will have another purpose in expanding the army this time?"
"For example... He is dissatisfied with the king.
Zhao Guo shook his head decisively and said, "Father, you filtered it out, not to mention that there are only a thousand people in Yulin even after the expansion of the army, and the praetorian guards are still large. And if the new army wants to become an army, it will not be difficult for a year and a half. And these new recruits are all eunuchs who have never been to the battlefield. How can they be the opponents of the battlefield guards?
"And if the master's father does something, it is impossible for me, Yulin Duwei, to know. Nowadays, most of the upper and lower parts of Yulin are my brothers, and they can't hide it from me.
Zhao Jian was silent for a while and said seriously, "Xin'er, my father wants you to promise me. If the master has any intention to do it, you must, be sure to tell me. Do you hear that? This is what my father asked of you.
Zhao's tone behind him became more and more severe, and he said almost in a commanding tone.
Although Zhao didn't think so in his confidence, he thought that the loyal minister did not serve the two masters. You didn't force me to be an undercover agent. But when he saw that his father was so serious, he was afraid of angering him. He said angrily, "Okay, okay, I promise you."
Zhao Jian was relieved. In the final analysis, he was still very worried that his son would be involved in the court struggle. You should know that the generals who participated in the power palace change and failed in the military affairs were never spared, and those who were not without exception were executed. Therefore, Zhao's worries are not unreasonable.
After talking again, Zhao Xin remembered the young man who begged him to do something, so he asked, "Father, when you were a Tian official, do you remember that there was a small official surnamed Zhao?"
Zhao Ju thought for a moment and said, "Yes, there is one named Zhao She. I'm very impressed with him."
He asked strangely, "What are you doing when you ask him?"
Zhao Xin told his father in the scene outside the door. Zhao Jian said with some surprise: "I know that he is good at martial arts, but I really haven't heard of him when he is proficient in military tactics."
Zhao Xin asked again, "What does the father think of this person?"
Zhao Jian thought about it and praised him; "Zhao She is a good person. He is rigorous and does everything. As you know, the errands of tax officials are extremely cumbersome, and it is inevitable to make a little difference. Therefore, we have to check and review every month to proofread the total number. But in my impression, Zhao She is excellent every time, and there is no mistake at all.
"What's more rare is that Zhao She's temperament is upright, and he is also rigid and eye-catching, and has never been surpassed. Tax collectors deal with money every day, and it is inevitable that subordinates will have some small movements on their hands. Although I know these things in my heart, I also know that it is impossible to completely eliminate them, so as long as I don't exceed the degree, most of them also close my eyes. Only this Zhao She is in his fingers and enforces the law, but now his family is very poor. So this man's temperament is excellent. I was going to find an opportunity to transfer him to my side, but I didn't expect him to join the army. What a pity.
Zhao Xin smiled and said, "Father, slow him down in advance. Let me see if this man is really a general as he said."
