Unparalleled Concubine

Li Xin touched the head of the eldest princess with a smile, and said with a smile: "How can you believe the words of the emperor?"

The eldest princess was taken aback by his words, waved her hands and said: "What nonsense, let outsiders hear it, and I will take you to Dali Temple for questioning..."

"Isn't there no outsiders here?"

Li Xin put his arms around the eldest princess's waist and said with a smile, "Come on, let's go to the back room to talk."

Princess Jiu's complexion was a little red, she pinched Li Xin's arm, and said a little embarrassedly: "What are you doing...it's broad daylight."

"Can't talk in broad daylight?"

Lord Jing'an smiled and said, "Who made this rule?"

In desperation, the princess had no choice but to be carried by Li Xin and walked towards the backyard. Halfway there, she looked up at her husband and whispered worriedly: "How long are you going this time? "

Hearing this, Li Xin paused, then sighed slightly.

"I do not know either."

Chapter 710 The powers of this book

After receiving the imperial decree, Li Xin did not immediately set out on the road, but waited in the capital for a few days until Ye Lin and Ye Mao, uncle and nephew, came back 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 General Habayashi Wei Zhonglang, an inconspicuous fifth-rank official, but as long as Li Xin takes him to Jimen Pass, he will become a deputy general of the third rank. Will slowly take over the Zhenbei Army, this is what the Ye family wants to see.

After waiting at home for three days, it was not until the evening of the fourth day that Li Xin waited for Ye Mao, who returned to Beijing. After more than a month of running around, the little father-in-law was quite haggard at this time, and his beard had not been trimmed. Quite embarrassed.

When he arrived at Jing'an Marquis Mansion, after meeting Li Xin, he saluted as a nephew. Li Xin sighed, stretched out his hand to pull his sleeve, and said, "Go, go in and talk."

The two sat down in the living room of Jing'an Hou Mansion, and after the servants served tea, Li Xin asked, "Did you come back alone?"

Ye Mao nodded.

"The fourth uncle is still in Ningling, repairing the grandfather's grave. After receiving the imperial edict, my nephew hurried back to the capital to see my uncle."

Li Xin glanced at the embarrassed Ye Mao, and asked.

"Just arrived in the capital?"

"I just arrived in the capital."

Ye Mao let out a sigh of relief: "Before I had time to go home, I reported to my uncle."

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

"Master Ye's funeral, have you taken care of it?"

"almost."

When Ye Cheng was mentioned, Ye Mao's mood became more depressed. He said in a low voice, "The burial has been completed, but it will take some time to repair the grave, so the fourth uncle is watching over there."

Lord Jing'an shook his head slightly.

"According to the rules, I should go to Ningling at this time and kowtow in front of Master Ye's grave, but it is not easy to go after the imperial court issued an imperial edict."

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

"know."

The little father-in-law gritted his teeth and said, "Father resigned from his post in the north and wanted to return to his hometown Ding You, so the imperial court asked Master Uncle to go with me to Jimen Pass to take over the Northern 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: "Now that you know, I won't keep you for dinner. You have worked hard all the way, so go home and rest for a night. Prepare tomorrow and bring some home Yes, the two of us will set off for the north in the morning the day after tomorrow."

Ye Mao got up and bowed deeply to Li Xin.

"My nephew understands."

With that, 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 big event, Li Xin would go to Chen Guogong's mansion to chat with Ye Cheng for a few words or even half a day. 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 Jing'an sighed again.

……

In the early morning of the next day, Li Xin still got up early, and after having breakfast, he set off for the Yamen of the Ministry of War.

No matter what he said, he is also the Minister of the Ministry of War. Now that he is resigning from this position, he naturally has to hand over to his subordinates.

In fact, it was just a formality. He had been Minister of the Ministry of War for five years, and he only asked about the purchase of ordnance last time. The other things were basically handed over to Xie Jun and Qian Sheng. However, the process that should be followed Still have to go.

Besides...

The imperial court only said to let him go north to lead troops, but did not remove him from the post of Minister of the Ministry of War, which means that he is very likely to be the Minister of the Ministry 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 squad room.

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

Li Xin sat on the head seat of the class room, and gave a rough overview of the matter, then he looked at Xie Jun with a smile, and said, "Now that I'm gone, Xie Shilang should celebrate with his colleagues in the Ministry of War?"

Xie Jun lowered his head and said: "Whether Li Shangshu is present or not, the Ministry of War looks the same, there is no place to celebrate."

As he said that, the old scholar glanced at Li Xin, and then said slowly: "Your official and Li Shangshu don't have a very deep friendship, but after all, we have worked together for five years, and Li Shangshu has to take care of himself when he goes north to lead the army this time." yes."

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

Therefore, he also sincerely blessed Li Xin.

Lord Jing'an smiled slightly.

"Thank you very much for the good words of the servant, let's talk about some serious things next."

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

"Xie Shilang, after I leave, this seal will be entrusted to you for safekeeping, and most of the errands of the Ministry of War will be on your shoulders, so you have to work harder."

Old man Xie secretly rolled his eyes.
