Unparalleled Concubine

Li Houye laughed, replaced the wine with tea, and offered a toast to Old Man Ye.

He got serious.

"Master Ye, you should already know the situation in the southwest, but the court's subsequent attitude..."

Ye Cheng asked with a frown.

"What attitude?"

Li Xin took a deep breath, and said bluntly: "When the disciple entered the city yesterday, he went to the palace first, and had a deep talk with His Majesty before returning home."

"Your Majesty's meaning is that the main contribution to the Southwest War this time should be credited to the disciples."

Li Xin's tone was sincere: "This disciple has no intention of competing with Senior Brother Ye for merit. This time, Southwest is also following Senior Brother Ye's method. I will give Ye Mao all the credit along the way. Please learn from Master Ye."

It is very important for Li Xin to have a good relationship with the Ye family. He was worried that this matter would cause misunderstandings in the Ye family, so he made it clear to the old man in advance to avoid misunderstanding.

Ye Cheng glared at Li Xin, and scolded with a smile: "You boy, I underestimate Lao Tzu too much. I have led troops for half my life, so I can't see who has done the most? What should be yours is yours. There is no need to come here Explain this to Lao Tzu."

Speaking of this, he paused for a moment, and then continued: "As for what is credited or not, this thing is irrelevant to Ye Ming, and it's not a good thing, it's just..."

Speaking of which, the old man glanced at Li Xin, and continued: "For you, it may not be a good thing..."

Li Xin smiled wryly and nodded: "This disciple also thinks so, but he shirks it many times, but he still can't shirk it."

Grandpa Ye took a sip of tea, and after being silent for a while, he raised his head to look at Li Xin, and asked, "What are you going to do after you return to Beijing?"

"Take a break first, clean up some chores at hand, and then think about doing something."

Ye Cheng asked.

"What else do you have on hand?"

For old man Ye, there was nothing to hide. Li Xin told him about the abolition of the crown prince and Li Shen. After hearing this, the old man frowned.

"You are confused!"

"Either of these two people is a huge disaster, and they are the ones that you can't get rid of in your hands. If you bring them back to the capital, you should throw them to the court as soon as possible. Any government office is fine. How can you have your own? The reason for taking trouble in your hands?"

Master Li smiled wryly: "This disciple also understands this truth, but it is really helpless, but in the past few days, this disciple should be able to deal with these two people."

Old Man Ye nodded and said nothing more.

For Li Xin, he is quite trustworthy, after all, this young man does not act like a young man at all.

"After that, what do you want to do?"

Ye Cheng asked, "Should we continue to stay in the Forbidden Army, or change to another place?"

Chapter 617 The Domineering Old Man Ye

Li Xin had actually thought about this question before.

He is only in his early 20s, and he is almost already an official. That is to say, in his future career, not only will there not be many channels for him to rise, but there will not even be many positions left for him. .

He is now the general of the Forbidden Army. After this time, if he is rewarded for his meritorious service, if he is promoted, he can only go one step further and achieve Pei Jin Pei Sanlang's former position - General of the Forbidden Army.

If you go further up, you can only enter the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion.

But Li Xin is still young now, and his surname is not Ji, so the chance of entering the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion is not high.

Apart from this, they can only do some "civilian jobs", such as the Ministry of War.

Li Xin had been the Minister of the Ministry of War for a few months before. If he entered the Ministry of War again, it would be unreasonable not to have a position as a minister, but this position is not very interesting to be honest. These, as for the military power to dispatch troops and generals, are completely in the hands of the emperor and the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion.

According to Li Xin's own opinion, after he returns to the capital, he can continue to hold the post of General of the Imperial Army, and then find another idle job in the court. After all, he has planned to keep a low profile for the past two years, so he is not going to think about going further. What.

He is already a military commander of the second rank, and the next rank is usually a pension position, or a somewhat sensitive position. Li Xin also wants to temporarily reduce his sense of existence so that he will not appear so dazzling.

After hearing Ye Cheng's question, Li Xin was about to speak back when he suddenly thought of something and said slowly, "Master Ye, what suggestion do you have?"

Old Man Ye glanced at Li Xin with satisfaction, and then slowly said: "According to the old man, it is better for you to leave the Imperial Army temporarily."

Li Xin blinked his eyes and said with a smile: "Who should lead the right battalion of the Forbidden Army?"

Ye Cheng sighed, and said, "As long as you move your butt away, there will naturally be countless people vying to sit on it. As for who will sit on it 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 resigning from the Imperial Army?"

"Don't worry, with such a great contribution to your body, the imperial court cannot let you stay at home for no reason. It is estimated that His Majesty will transfer you to the Ministry of War. With your current achievements, no one can take away your position as Minister of the Ministry of War."

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

"Chang'an, I have a piece of advice from the old man, I don't know if you, a young man, will listen to it."

Li Xin looked solemn, and stood up to salute Ye Cheng.

"Master Ye gave instructions."

"Being the Minister of the Ministry of War, don't stand out. You should be free for a few years. It's a good thing for everyone."

Li Xin closed his eyes, pondered the meaning of the old man Ye's words, then opened his eyes, bowed his head and cupped his fists at Ye Cheng: "This disciple already understands what Master Ye means. After returning, the disciple will take the initiative to resign from the imperial army." position, and ask the imperial court to stay at home for a few years."

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

After Li Xin finished speaking, he saw that Ye Cheng didn't respond, so he sat back on his small bench again, with a smile on his face: "Master Ye, did someone come looking for you?"

Ye Cheng closed his eyes and didn't answer.

Lord Jing'an chuckled: "Master Ye doesn't say anything, I'll take it as your acquiescence, and the disciple will ask a few more questions."

"The man asked Master Ye to persuade me to leave the Forbidden Army?"

Old man Ye opened his eyes, and said something indifferent.

"He asked the old man to hint you a few words, but he didn't let the old man say so bluntly."

The meaning of Ye Cheng's words is that he deliberately said it so bluntly so that Li Xin could hear it.

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

Li Xin laughed dumbfoundedly.

"Master Ye, you will be sued by your disciples for saying this, be careful that you will not be safe at the end of the day."

Ye Cheng lay on the chair, his eyes didn't even open, he just snorted with some disdain: "I'm old, my eyebrows are touching the dirt, what else is there to be afraid of?"

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