Unparalleled Concubine

  Chapter 710 The powers of this book

   After receiving the imperial decree, Li Xin did not go on the road immediately, but waited in the capital for a few days, until Ye Lin and Ye Mao’s uncle and nephew returned from their hometown in Ningling.

  It is very important to bring Ye Mao. If Li Xin goes to Jimen Pass by himself, not to mention whether he can successfully take over the Zhenbei Army, even if he takes over, there will be conflicts in the future.

Ye Mao's current official position is that of Yulin Weizhong, an inconspicuous five-rank official, but as long as Li Xin takes him to Jimen Pass, he will become a lieutenant of the third-rank, and from now on, he will It will slowly take over the Zhenbei Army, this is the situation the Ye family wants to see.

After waiting at home for three days, until the evening of the fourth day, Li Xincai waited for Ye Mao, who returned to Beijing. After more than a month of running around, the young master at this time was quite haggard, and his beard was not trimmed. Quite embarrassed.

   He went to Jing'an Marquis Mansion, and after seeing Li Xin, he saluted with his son and nephew. Li Xin sighed, stretched out his hand and pulled his sleeve, and said, "Go in, go in and talk."

   The two sat down in the living room of the Marquis of Jing'an. After the servants served tea, Li Xin asked, "You came back alone?"

   Ye Mao nodded.

   "The fourth uncle was still in Ningling, repairing his grandfather's grave. The nephew received the imperial edict and hurried back to the capital to see the uncle."

   Li Xin glanced at Ye Mao, who was a little embarrassed, and asked.

   "Just arrived in the capital?"

   "I just arrived in the capital."

   Ye Mao let out a sigh of relief: "I didn't have time to go home, so I went to my uncle to report."

  Li Xin stood up, walked over to the big man, patted his shoulder, and sighed.

   "Master Ye's funeral, have you been dealt with?"

"almost."

   When Ye Sheng was mentioned, Ye Mao's mood became a little lower, and he whispered: "It's been buried, but it will take some time to repair the grave, so the fourth uncle is there to watch."

   Lord Jingan shook his head slightly.

   "According to the rules, I should go to Ningling at this time and kowtow a few times in front of Ye Shi's tomb, but the imperial decree has been issued, and it is not very good."

  He looked up at Ye Mao with a calm expression: "Do you know what the imperial court wants us to do?"

"Know."

   The young master gritted his teeth and said, "My father resigned from his job in the north and wants to return to his hometown, Ding You, so the imperial court asked my uncle to go with me to Jimen Pass to take over the Zhenbei Army."

   Li Xin shook his head secretly.

   It seems that Ye Mao only knew that he was going to take over the Zhenbei Army, but he didn't know that there was going to be a war in the north.

Thinking of this, Li Xin sat back in his seat and sighed: "Since you know, then I won't let you eat, you have worked hard all the way, go home and rest for a night, prepare for tomorrow, bring some home Will, the two of us will set off for the north early the day after tomorrow."

   Ye Mao got up and bowed deeply to Li Xin.

   "Nephew understands."

   said, he turned and left.

  Li Xin looked at his leaving back, and thought of Old Man Ye again.

   In the past, whenever there was a major event, Li Xin would go to Chen Guogong's mansion to sit and chat with Ye Sheng for a few days or even for a long time. The wise old man would always give Li Xin some helpful advice, but this time...

   No one came to tell Li Xin again.

  Thinking of this, Lord Jingan sighed again.

  …

   The next morning, Li Xin got up early, and after having breakfast, he set off for a visit to the yamen of the Ministry of War.

   He is also the minister of military affairs. Now that he is leaving this position, he naturally has to hand over to his subordinates.

In fact, it’s just a cutscene. He has been a minister of the Ministry of War for five years, and he only asked about the last purchase of ordnance. Other things are basically handed over to Xie Jun and Qian Sheng’s subordinates to do it, but the process that should be followed Still have to go.

   Besides…

   The imperial court only said that he should lead troops to the north, but it did not remove him from his position as the Minister of War. That is to say, he would most likely be the Minister of War and lead troops to the north.

   After arriving at the yamen of the Ministry of War, Li Xin met his two servants in his classroom.

   The old waiter Xie Jun was nearly seventy years old, and the right waiter Qian Sheng was still in his fifties.

  Li Xin sat on the main seat of the shift room, and briefly explained the matter. Then he looked at Xie Jun with a smile, and said, "As soon as I leave, Shi Lang Xie should celebrate with his colleagues in the Ministry of War?"

  Xie Jun lowered his head and said: "The presence or absence of Li Shangshu, the military department is the same, there is no place to celebrate."

With that said, the old scholar glanced at Li Xin, and then said slowly: "Xiaguan and Li Shangshu don't have a very deep friendship, but after all, Li Shangshu has been a colleague for five years, and this time Li Shangshu is leading the army in the north, so he has to take care of himself. Yes."

  Others didn't know what Li Xin was going to do when he went north, but as the left servant who actually acted as the minister of the Ministry of War, Xie Jun knew better than anyone what the court was going to do.

   Therefore, he also sincerely blessed Li Xin.

   Lord Jingan smiled slightly.

   "Thank you for Ji Yan, Shi Lang, let's say a few serious things next."

Li Xin got up and rummaged through the cabinet next to his seat. After searching for a while, he found the big seal of the Ministry of War. Then he took the big seal in his hand and played with it for a while, facing Xie Jun smiled.

   "Xie Shilang, after I leave, this seal will be handed over to you for safekeeping. Most of the errands of the Ministry of War will also be placed on you, so you will have to work harder."

   Old Xie rolled his eyes secretly.

   In the past few years you have been in the capital, the old man has also done these things...

   But there is still work to be done on the bright side. He bowed his head and said: "Xiaguan must live up to Li Shangshu's instructions and take care of the errands of the Ministry of War."

  The Marquis of Jing An took out a piece of paper from his sleeve while smiling.

   He spread out this piece of paper, then took out his big seal of the Ministry of War, sighed with his mouth, and stamped it heavily on it.

   So, this piece of ordinary paper became a military document.

   Li Xin glanced at the seal he had affixed with satisfaction, then put away the big seal and handed it to Xie Jun.

   "Xie Shilang, this seal will be handed over to you."

Xie Jun stared dumbfounded at Li Xin's operation. He stared blankly at the material in Li Xin's hand, and asked a little stumblingly: "Li... Li Shangshu, this document... can you show the lower official? ?"

  Li Xin readily handed over the documents.

   "Naturally, I have to show it to Shi Lang Xie, after all, Shi Lang Xie has to do things."

   Xie Jun took this piece of paper, and after a casual glance, he felt a little dizzy.

  The content on the paper is exactly the same as the format of the ordinary Ministry of War documents, but the content is a bit scary.

   "Transfer 20,000 sets of infantry armor, 15,000 long knives, 100,000 crossbow arrows, and 50,000 sets of cotton-padded coats to the North Army Camp in Jimenguan Town."

   is to the effect of the above sentence.

  Xie Jun only felt a little dizzy, and his hands were shaking.

   "Li Shangshu... This document is out of order!"

   Li Xin glanced at him with a smile.

   "What's wrong with the rules?"

  Xie Jun said tremblingly: "The materials allocated by the Ministry of War must be reviewed by the imperial court..."

   Li Xin glanced at the old man lightly.

   "I know this, but allocating the inventory of the Treasury Department of the Ministry of War is within my authority as the Minister of War, and does not need to be reviewed by the court."

   Lord Jingan glanced at Xie Jun with a smile.

   "I checked the account book of the Treasury Department a few days ago. We still have some of these things in the Treasury Department."

  Xie Jun heard the words, not only his hands trembled, but his breathing was short.
