Unparalleled Concubine

   Chapter 617 Domineering Old Man Ye

   This question, Li Xin actually thought about it before.

He was only in his early twenties, and he was almost already a top official. That is to say, in his future career, not only did he have not many opportunities for advancement, but there were not many positions left for him. .

   He is now the general of the forbidden army. After this time, if he is given a promotion, he can only go a step further and achieve the position that Pei Jin and Pei Saburo used to be - the general of the forbidden army.

   Going up, you can only enter the Grand Governor's Mansion.

   However, Li Xin is still young, and his surname is not Ji, so there is little chance of entering the Grand Governor's Mansion.

   In addition to this, it can only be to do some "civilian jobs", such as the Ministry of War.

Li Xin had been a minister of the Ministry of War for several months before. If he entered the Ministry of Military Affairs again, it would be unreasonable not to have a position as a minister, but honestly, this position is not very interesting. These, as for the military power of dispatching troops, are completely in the hands of the emperor and the governor's office.

According to Li Xin's own wishes, after returning to the capital, he can continue to hold the position of the general of the Imperial Army, and then find another idle position in the court. After all, he has planned to keep a low profile in the past two years, so he is not ready to think about going any further. What.

   He is already a second-rank military commander, and the first-rank one is usually a pension position, or it is a somewhat sensitive position. Li Xin also wants to temporarily reduce his sense of existence, so that he no longer looks so dazzling.

   After hearing Ye Sheng ask this sentence, Li Xin just wanted to answer, but suddenly thought of something, and said slowly: "Master Ye, what advice?"

   Old man Ye gave Li Xin a satisfied look, and then said slowly: "According to the old man's opinion, you might as well leave the Imperial Army temporarily."

  Li Xin blinked and said with a smile, "Who should the right battalion of the Imperial Guard be handed over?"

   Ye Sheng sighed and said, "As long as you move your **** away, there will naturally be countless people rushing to sit. As for who sits in the end, that's none of our business."

   Li Xin nodded with a smile and asked, "Then Master Ye, tell me, what should the disciple do after he quit his job in the Imperial Army?"

   "Don't worry, you have so much credit on your body, the imperial court can't let you idle at home for no reason. It is estimated that His Majesty will transfer you to the Ministry of War. With your current credit, no one can take you away from the position of Minister of War."

   Having said that, Old Man Ye, who was sitting upright, lay down on the reclining chair again.

   "Chang'an, the old man has a piece of advice. I wonder if you, a young man, can listen to you."

   Li Xin looked solemn, got up and saluted Ye Sheng.

   "Master Ye pointed."

   "Being the Minister of War, don't stand out. It's a good thing for everyone to be idle for a few years."

Li Xin closed his eyes, pondered the meaning of the old man Ye's words, then opened his eyes, bowed his head and clasped his fists at Ye Sheng: "Master Ye, the disciple has understood what he meant, and after returning, the disciple will take the initiative to write a letter and resign from the Imperial Army. position, and asked the imperial court to retire at home for a few years.”

   Old man Ye didn't speak, just sighed slightly in his heart.

   After Li Xin finished saying this, seeing that Ye Sheng didn't respond, he sat back on his small bench and smiled: "Master Ye, has someone come to you?"

   Ye Sheng closed his eyes and did not answer.

  Jing'an Marquis laughed: "Master Ye doesn't speak, I'll take it as your acquiescence, then the disciple will ask a few more questions."

   "That person asked Master Ye to persuade me to leave the Imperial Army?"

   Old man Ye opened his eyes and said something indifferent.

   "He asked the old man to hint you a few words, but he did not let the old man say it so straightforwardly."

   Ye Sheng's words meant that he deliberately said it so straightforwardly that Li Xin could hear it.

   In other words, he was just perfunctory to the Taikang Emperor who asked him to do this.

  Li Xin laughed dumbly.

   "Master Ye, you were sued by your disciples for saying this. Be careful that you will not be safe in the evening."

   Ye Sheng was lying on the chair, his eyes didn't open, he just snorted with some disdain: "This old man is at this age, his eyebrows are touching the soil, what else is there to be afraid of?"

   "If his grandfather and his father came to see me in person, the old man might respect him a little more, but he..."

   Having said that, Ye Sheng did not continue.

   In the end, although the Emperor Taikang is expensive, he didn't catch the eyes of this old man. If it wasn't for the sake of future generations, Ye Sheng might not even bother to perfunctory.

   The tea was almost finished, Li Xin pulled the teapot down, ran to Old Man Ye's room, turned out a pair of chess, and placed it in front of Old Man Ye.

   "Master Ye, get up quickly and fight with the disciples."

  Old man Ye was leisurely on the reclining chair. Hearing this, he opened his eyes and looked at it, and said with some disdain: "If you don't play with you, your kid will only play those dirty tricks, which is boring."

Because of their personalities, the chess paths of master and apprentice are quite different. Ye Sheng's style of chess is straight and straight, with a bit of fierce killing flavor, but Li Xin is relatively calm, which means that He prefers "operations".

   So Ye Sheng doesn't like to play chess with him.

   Of course, it’s also because Old Man Ye doesn’t win most of the time.

  Li Xin patted the chessboard and said with a smile, "Get up quickly, the next two disciples are going back to eat."

   Old man Ye was unmoved.

   "You're a lot of age, you have to play more chess, otherwise you will be prone to Alzheimer's..."

   Still no movement.

  Jing An Hou Ye had no choice but to make a final concession.

   "Come on, I'll give you a car, okay?"

   Old man Ye sat down lazily from the reclining chair and reluctantly sat across from Li Xin.

   There is a gap between the two players' chess skills, but the difference is not too big. Letting a big rook means that Li Xin loses more and wins less.

   "You said it yourself, not the old man forced you."

  Li Xin didn't speak, and gave the somewhat rogue old man a roll of eyes.

   The chessboard was quickly set up, Ye Sheng changed his lazy appearance and became extremely serious.

  The chessboard is the battlefield. On the battlefield, the old man has always been very serious.

   The two were playing chess and talking casually.

  Old man Ye used a cannon to replace one of Li Xin's horses with a "big crowd", then he stroked his beard and said with a smile, "Chang'an, I haven't seen you for more than a year, why are you so slow?"

   Li Xin rolled his eyes at him again.

   "Master Ye, although the injury on Ye Mao's body seems to be harmless, he still needs to take good care of it at home, or else he may fall back to the root of the disease in the future."

   "Don't worry, I asked a doctor to take care of him yesterday."

Ye Sheng was strategizing on the chessboard and said: "In recent years, you have been living in the capital, no matter what, you have this credit, no one has dared to do anything to your family recently, you are done. After those two troubles, take advantage of this period to take a break, you are still young, you can't be like an old man, busy in Vanity Fair all day."

Li Xin moved the rest of his car, and then smiled with some inexplicable meaning: "It's easy to rest for a few years now, but I'm afraid that after a few years, I will smear Chaotang, maybe because I don't know why. What, you lost your life."

   "The old man isn't dead yet."

   Old man Ye spoke very aggressively.

   "The old man is not dead, who in the capital dares to touch my disciple without long eyes?"

  Li Xin smiled slightly.

   "Then wish you a hundred years old."
