Unparalleled Concubine

Five years later, he has been re-promoted from General of the Right Battalion of the Forbidden Army to General of the Forbidden Army. Even Hou Jingde, one of the three heroes of the Renchen Palace Transformation, is now working under his command.

Therefore, if Li Xin wanted to lead someone from the imperial army, he had to go through this person.

In fact, if you do a careful calculation, the comparison between Li Xin and Pei Jin seems very unfair.

At the beginning, Li Xin and others risked their lives to put the emperor on the throne. It stands to reason that the Habayashi family should be deeply trusted by the new emperor.

At this time, there was a war in northern Xinjiang, and Pei Jin was also qualified to lead the Zhenbei Army, but the emperor let Li Xin go to the north because Li Xin was close to the Ye family, and only Li Xin could lead the Zhenbei Army.

In terms of closeness, the person in command of the imperial army must be closer to the emperor than the generals of the frontier army. That is to say, Li Xin, the hero of the hidden mansion, is not as good as Pei Jin, the former minister of the former emperor's dynasty.

People from the forbidden army quickly went to report. Not long after, the gate of the forbidden army's barracks was opened. General Pei, who has a domineering goatee, led a group of forbidden army generals to greet Li Xin at the gate of the barracks.

It has to be said that this ostentation has given Li Xin enough face.

General Pei has always been stern, that is to say he is a cold-faced man. He walked up to Li Xin, bowed his head and cupped his fists: "Pei Jin has met Lord Li."

He glanced at Ye Mao next to Li Xin again, then lowered his head again: "Young master is here too, has Ye Guogong's funeral been settled?"

These words are not ridicule, Ye Cheng is regarded as the idol of most people in the Jin army, Pei Jin also admires Ye Cheng very much, when old man Ye left, this General Pei went to Ye Mansion to kowtow.

Ye Mao hurriedly returned the gift: "General Xie for your concern, the funeral of my grandfather has been taken care of."

General Pei took a deep breath, and sighed: "My old man's sudden death is hard for Jin people of my generation to accept."

While the two were talking, Li Xin glanced behind Pei Jin and found Hou Jingde following behind him in an orderly manner, he secretly sighed.

The Great General Pei of the former emperor's dynasty did have his own way, Brother Hou was subdued by him.

So Li Xin also cupped his fists in return.

"General Pei is polite."

"Li believed in the emperor's order to come to the imperial army to lead 1000 people to the north. I think General Pei also received the imperial court's documents."

Pei Jin's face was calm, and he said in a deep voice: "The forbidden army has received His Majesty's order yesterday, and a thousand elites have been prepared this morning. Lord Li will follow me."

With that said, he turned around and led the way.

Li Xin took Ye Mao and followed Pei Jin into the Forbidden Army camp. He reached out and patted Hou Jingde's shoulder, and exchanged a few words with Hou Jingde.

Soon, the group arrived at the school grounds of the Forbidden Army camp. A thousand soldiers in bright armor were already standing neatly in the center of the school grounds.

These 1000 people all looked to be in their twenties. Pei Jin did not deceive Li Xin. Among the imperial guards at this age, he could indeed be called an elite.

Pei Jin said in a deep voice: "Originally, Lord Li was going to travel far north, so he should have prepared a thousand cavalry for him, but there are not many cavalry in the Imperial Army, and Lord Hou also knew that there was no other way but to prepare a thousand cavalry. Shi to Lord Hou..."

Li Xin had been in the imperial army before, and the entire imperial army had only five or six thousand riders. He knew this, so he didn't force it.

After a few introductions between Pei Jin and Li Xin, he suddenly coughed and clasped his fists at Lord Jing'an.

"Um... Li Houye, my imperial army asked for a batch of supplies from the Ministry of War last year, and the documents from the Ministry of War were issued, but they haven't been allocated for a long time. Lord Hou is also the Minister of the Ministry of War. Can you help me... ...?"

Chapter 714

In the yamen of this era, the efficiency of handling affairs is often very low. Even if all the official documents and procedures are gone, if people are not willing to do it for you, you have to wait.

The reason why Li Xin can handle affairs quickly is because he is the boss of the Ministry of War, and it would be quite different if he were placed in the Imperial Army.

Although the general of the imperial army is at the same level as the Minister of the Ministry of War, most of the supplies and weapons have to go through the procedures of the Ministry of War, and if the Ministry of War drags you, you can't go to the emperor to sue him, otherwise people will hold a grudge, in the small book Remember you, you will never want to take things from the Ministry of War happily ever again.

Hearing Pei Jin's words, Li Xin was stunned for a moment, and then said with a helpless smile: "To tell you the truth, General Pei, you came to see me two days ago. Let me tell you a few words, but yesterday I went to the Ministry of War and handed over everything to Xie Juan, Xie Shilang, and even handed over the official seal of the Ministry of War, now the affairs of the Ministry of War have nothing to do with me."

Pei Jin nodded slowly, and said in a deep voice: "Since that's the case, I don't need to bother Lord Li. Pei will go to the Ministry of War in a few days and ask Mr. Xie to remind him."

Li Xin looked at Pei Jin's serious appearance, and felt amused in his heart.

The Ministry of War is probably suffering from headaches because of the things they want. Pei Jin wants things alone, basically there will be no good end, and the things the forbidden army wants may also be subsidized into the batch of supplies that Li Xin wants to take away. inside.

He rolled his eyes, and suddenly smiled at Pei Jin: "General, I know the situation of the Ministry of War very well. If you go to ask for something these days, Xie Jun will definitely not give it to you. Why don't I teach you a way. Guaranteed that you can get the things from the Department of Treasury as quickly as possible."

Even the unsmiling Pei Jin couldn't help bowing his head at this moment and said, "Please advise, Master Hou."

Lord Jing'an smiled and said: "General, the Ministry of War is not afraid of the forbidden army, but it is afraid of your majesty. It is not easy for you to go to the Ministry of War to ask for things, but since all the approval documents from the imperial court have come down, the Ministry of War should give it to you. You just need to find a way Let Datian listen to this matter, even if His Majesty doesn't give a note to the soldiers, as long as he says something during the court meeting, then Xie Juan will give it to him quickly."

Pei Jin frowned.

He hesitated and said: "This is a matter between the Imperial Army and the Ministry of War. If it is brought to His Majesty, it will be a violation of the rules. If the Office of the Ministry of War holds grudges, it may not even be able to get approval in the future, let alone military supplies... "

Li Xin said with a smile: "General, don't worry, I am in charge of the Ministry of War after all. This is the idea that I, the Minister of the Ministry of War, gave you. How can the Ministry of War remember the hatred of the General? Even if you hold grudges, wait for me, the Minister of the Ministry of War, to return to Beijing later." That’s right, the supplies of the forbidden army are also given priority, so it’s not a big deal.”

Pei Jin lowered his head and thought for a while, and felt that there was nothing wrong with what Li Xin said, so he nodded and said: "Seeing that autumn is about to begin, and after autumn is winter, and the Ministry of War has not even issued cotton-padded clothes. We can only do what Master Li said."

Lord Jing'an was smiling.

"General Pei loves soldiers like sons, which is really admirable."

After the two exchanged a few polite words, Li Xin left the Forbidden Army camp with a thousand imperial troops.

On the way back, Ye Mao, who was following behind Li Xin, couldn't help but ask, "Uncle, are you trying to frame that General Pei?"

Sitting on the pitch-black black horse, Li Xin rolled his eyes at Ye Mao: "What do you mean, I was an official in the same dynasty as him, and everyone has been in the imperial army before, how could I harm him?"

The little father-in-law didn't believe it.

"After you came out of the Forbidden Army camp just now, you showed a sinister smile. You must have some bad intentions."

Lord Jing'an looked back at Ye Mao.

"If you talk nonsense, I won't take you to Jimen Pass."

The little father-in-law shrank his head and said nothing.

In fact, Li Xin did harm Pei Jin.

Today's Ministry of War should be looking for supplies to make up for the gaps. For example, the supplies of the Forbidden Army are one of the stalls for finding supplies. At this time, it is impossible for them to give things to the Forbidden Army.

However, the imperial army put pressure on the emperor to forcibly carry this batch of supplies, and the Ministry of War had to give them. However, this behavior of adding salt to the wound is undoubtedly more hateful than Li Xin. Once the matter is done, the Ministry of War, especially the Ministry of War The people in the department may scold Li Xin's mother in the dark, but at the same time, they may scold Pei Jin's eighteen generations of ancestors.

This offended the Ministry of War to death.

This may not affect Pei Jin's official career, but it will definitely make life difficult for the imperial army in the future.

…………

After taking the people from the imperial army, Li Xin ordered them to camp outside the east gate of the capital to rest for a day, then he and Ye Mao went back to their homes to prepare, and gathered at the east gate of the capital early the next morning.

Li Xin went home, stayed with his wife and children for a long time, and then ordered fifty generals from Jing'anhou's house to take him with him, and went north together.
