Unparalleled Concubine

After all, in a few more years, he should retire and return to his hometown. There is no need to fight with those underlings who are in their prime.

Xie Jun was silent for a long time, and finally lowered his head slowly.

"Li Shangshu is the Minister of the Ministry of War. Since the Minister has stamped it, the Ministry of War should follow it."

As he said that, he put Li Xin's document in his sleeve, gritted his teeth and said, "Those things that Li Shangshu wants, the Secretary of Treasury will send them to Lord Hou soon to the Zhenbei Army. Please rest assured, Lord Hou."

Although Xie Juan is old, he is a very rational person. Obviously, Kubusi's shortfall can no longer be hidden. Since he can't hide it, he must find a way to make up for this hole.

As for what to use...

Naturally, those who took the money would spit out the money to fill the hole.

Lord Jing'an looked at Xie Jun with a smile on his face.

"In that case, please thank the servant."

"The Ministry of Treasury has eight warehouses in the Gyeonggi area. I will pick up the items in these eight warehouses tomorrow. As for the remaining omissions, please send Xie Shilang to Zhenbei Army as soon as possible."

Having said that, Li Xin glanced at Xie Jun again.

"Xie Shilang, if you encounter difficulties and cannot send things to the Zhenbei Army quickly, then write a letter to the official, and I will report the truth to His Majesty. When the time comes, the family scandal of my military department will be leaked. It is nothing more than us. It's just that several ministers and servants have been dismissed from their posts to question their crimes."

It doesn't really matter whether Li Xin is the Minister of the Ministry of War or not, but Xie Jun, an old servant who has been in the Ministry of War for half his life, if he is dismissed and questioned when he is about to retire, his reputation will be ruined for the rest of his life.

The old man Xie, whose beard and hair were all gray, gritted his teeth, and said in a low voice, "Don't worry, Li Shangshu, even if the Ministry of War sells iron, there will be no shortage of supplies for the Zhenbei Army."

Only then did Li Xin pat the old man on the shoulder in satisfaction.

"Xie Shilang hates me?"

Xie Juan took a deep breath, lowered his head and said, "I dare not."

"Of course you dare."

Li Xin said with a smile: "If this matter continues, the entire Ministry of Treasury and even half of the Ministry of War will have to bleed to make up for this gap. When the time comes, I, the minister who cut people's money, will be teased by you behind my back. Scolding and scolding."

"You might even have the thought of digging my ancestral grave."

Master Jing'an looked calm, and looked at Xie Jun indifferently.

"You will think in your heart that the Ministry of War has always been like this, why should I, the stupid Qing Shangshu, jump out and do such evil things."

"But the Ministry of War was not supposed to be like this."

Li Xin looked at Xie Jun, and said word by word: "The sage's sage book didn't teach you to search for oil and water."

"You did something evil first, I just corrected it a little bit, let you spit it out, and make up for it."

"If you are still unwilling, then it is not as simple as spending money and avoiding disaster."

Li Xin left his Shangshu class with his hands behind his back.

"Without you, the military department will still be transferred. There are many people who want to be officials in the world. They sharpen their heads and want to squeeze into the military department."

"Whether this matter should be done or not, and what should be done, is up to you to consider, but the ugly words come first."

"I don't mind taking a charge of laxity."

Chapter 712 The Grace of Teaching

In the past, when Li Xin was a small person, he only cared about the advantages and disadvantages of doing things, not right or wrong. This is a normal adult mentality. Li Xin once taught this sentence to the young master of the Ye family.

But before Ye Sheng died, he taught Li Xin another sentence.

That is, if you have already stood high enough, you might as well ask right or wrong before doing something, and then think about the pros and cons.

Li Xin listened to this sentence and took it seriously.

That's why he offended almost the entire military department at this juncture with such a domineering posture.

After all, if he wants supplies, there are many other ways he can go, such as directly asking Emperor Taikang, or going to the household department to ask for money in person, no matter which side will give Li Xin a little face, and getting something It's not difficult.

If it really doesn't work, he doesn't need to ask for so many of the numbers recorded in the treasury department's account book. If it only needs half of it, then even if the treasury department's inventory is not enough, the officials of the Ministry of war will be willing to fill the gap.

Li Xin could have many other choices, but he chose the most blunt and most "stupid" approach.

The reason for doing this is firstly because it should be done this way, and secondly... because he is already standing high enough that the people from the military department can't reach his ankles, and there is no way to pull him down. That's why he can offend these people unscrupulously.

After leaving the Ministry of War, before noon, Li Xin got on his black horse and walked towards the Habayashi Guard camp in the south of the city.

Soon, he arrived at the gate of the Habayashi Guard camp.

At this time, all the people from the right battalion of the Habayashi guards were dragged by Zhong Heng to send things to the north, but they had not returned yet, so only the left camp was left in the battalion of the Habayashi guards, most of them were Li Xin's old troops. He entered Habayashi Wei Zuoying very smoothly, and was taken to the door of Habayashi Zuoro General Wang Zhong's squad.

The door of the classroom was tightly shut.

Several captains from Zuoying knocked on the door one by one, and shouted inside that Master Li was coming, but there was still no movement inside.

Li Xin waved his hand very simply.

"Break away."

So, the four captains of Zuoying slammed into the door. The door was originally a wooden door. When four big men hit it together, the two door panels fell to the ground immediately, causing a cloud of smoke and dust.

As soon as the door opened, a strong smell of alcohol rushed in.

The disheveled Zuo Lang general Wang Zhong was half lying on the chair, holding a jug in one hand, drinking unconsciously.

Even if the door fell to the ground, he was unconscious.

Li Xin frowned and walked in. the y

"How long has Master Wang been like this?"

he asked a captain.

The captain of the Habayashi Guard, who used to be one of his captains, said quickly after hearing the words: "Back to Lord Hou, Mr. Wang, he has been like this since... Mr. Ye left, shutting himself in the room to drink , I haven’t asked much about Habayashi Weiri’s affairs…”

On the day of Ye Cheng's [-]th birthday, Wang Zhong took sixteen old soldiers to celebrate his birthday. Eighteen of them drank happily together that day, but the old grandfather Ye Cheng passed away the next day.

The reason for this is unknown to others, but Wang Zhong, who is a master of internal boxing, must know something about it.

After Ye Cheng left, he also asked Qin Yuanhua who had not had time to leave the capital, and learned that the old man was indeed sick and could not drink alcohol. After Wang Zhong found out, he immediately slapped himself loudly. mouth.

He was the one who contacted everyone when they went to celebrate their birthday together, so he naturally blamed himself for it.

For nearly two months since then, Wang Zhong has always looked like this, getting drunk every day, half asleep and half awake, and would get up and slap his mouth.
