Unparalleled Concubine

   Chapter 659 Li Changan, Minister of War

  The Ye family in the capital has always been a legendary family. Since the old man Ye Sheng started to set up a door in the capital, with the credit for destroying the Northern Zhou Dynasty, he may not be the most powerful general in Dajin, but he must be the most dazzling general.

   Of course, this kind of dazzling is not without a price. When the Northern Zhou Dynasty was conquered, Ye Sheng's subordinates also suffered heavy casualties. The second and third children of the Ye family were lost at that time.

   At that time, old man Ye was only in his early forties, the second and the third were only eighteen and the other was only sixteen. All died on the battlefield, and not even a descendant was left.

   At that time, the youngest Ye Fourth Shao was born not long ago.

  Because of this, when Ye Lin remembered things, the Ye family already had such a huge family business, so when Ye Fourth Young Master was young, he was a bit of a bastard.

The old man Ye Sheng did not know whether it was out of revenge against the imperial court or his apology to the other two sons, but he always maintained a connivance attitude towards this young son. When he was 30 years old, he worked in the imperial court. When he was in his 30s, he was arranged by the emperor of Chengde in Yulinwei and became the general of Yulinwei at that time.

   The things that happened later, Li Xin has experienced.

This Fourth Young Master Ye is a prodigal son. After the change of the Renchen Palace, he was named the Marquis of Ningling, and he took the initiative to ask to go out to Beijing to share the pressure of his eldest brother in the north. It took eight years to go, and eight years passed. The fourth master of the Ye family, who was in his early teens, has now become a middle-aged man in his late forties. He was a little out of the way back then, but now he has calmed down a lot.

   Seeing his old father, Ye Lin felt a pain in his heart.

   "Father, your body..."

   Old man Ye patted his younger son's younger generation and smiled casually: "It is normal for people to have some problems when they are old. How can I not leave a little injury when I killed so many people?"

   "Don't worry, there's nothing serious."

When the father and son met like this, Li Xin winked and kept a distance. After the father and son had talked for a while, he stepped forward and cupped Ye Sheng and Ye Lin: "Master Ye, Senior Brother Ye. , You father and son haven't seen each other for a long time, let's chat here first, I still have some official business, so I'll deal with it first."

   Ye Sheng waved his hand happily.

   "Go, go, there's no reason for you to be a minister of military affairs to waste time here."

   Li Xin smiled bitterly and said, "Why does Master Ye say such words to ridicule the disciple, the time the disciple has spent in Ye's house these years is no less than in his own house."

   Ye Sheng was stunned for a while, then shook his head and said, "I'm telling the truth, not mocking you."

"When Lao Tzu led the army to fight, he was just an army chief at first. After he had made some credits in suppressing the bandits, he should go to the Ministry of War to ask for a reward. At that time, he didn't even have an official rank, so he could only wait in the Yamen compound of the Ministry of War. "

Speaking of this, the old man remembered the old things when he was young, and sighed: "I still remember that at that time, I was the chief of the Military Selection Department of the Ministry of War. In the winter, we waited for five or six hours in the Yamen of the Ministry of War, and then it was time for us to wait. Wait until the master in charge of the sixth rank of the Ministry of War."

   "After we met, people looked at our old brothers and didn't even look at them. If it wasn't for some of our brothers who had winked and shoved some money, the brothers who sacrificed their lives to suppress the bandits might have lost their credit."

The Department of Military Selection of the Ministry of War, the Ministry of War is the most powerful department among the four divisions. Shilang, Langzhong, Yuanwailang, and the fourth-level chief are all officials inside. The chief is the sixth-rank, responsible for some specific affairs. , not even dust, but in the eyes of the young Ye Sheng back then, it was already the sky above his head.

Li Xin's growth experience is very different from Ye Sheng's. After Li Xin entered Yulinwei, he stepped up to the sky by chance, and because of the power of the dragon, he climbed to the sky in one step, while Ye Sheng really climbed up bit by bit from a small soldier. Yes, it took him more than 20 years to become a general from a Qiu Ba.

   There are so many heartaches and sorrows, which are not enough for outsiders.

   So what old man Ye said just now wasn't about yin and yang. From this old man's point of view, Li Xin, the Minister of War, really shouldn't waste too much time on him.

   Li Xin heard the words, was silent for a while, and sighed: "Master Ye, the disciple will go first."

   Ye Sheng nodded: "Be careful."

  Li Xin clasped his fists at Ye Lin and forced a smile: "Senior Brother Ye is taking a break at home today. Tomorrow, my younger brother will hold a banquet at home to welcome Brother Ye."

   Ye Lin nodded to Li Xin.

  The Marquis of Jing'an then left the Ye family. He got into his carriage outside the Ye family. Without much hesitation, he said, "Go to the Ministry of War."

Li Xin, the Minister of the Ministry of War, is actually very incompetent. He was the Minister of War for three years in Taikang, but it was not until the sixth year of Taikang that he began to occasionally report to the Ministry of War and took over some affairs of the Ministry of War, but even so, Li Xin didn't put too much effort into the Ministry of War, and only took a look when he remembered.

  The servants of the Marquis of Jing'an often go to the Ministry of War. Hearing this, he did not hesitate much, and immediately drove a carriage and took Li Xin to the Ministry of War.

  Looking like it was around late afternoon, Li Xin dismounted at the entrance of the Ministry of War Yamen. He didn't wear an official uniform, but just wore a normal black robe, and walked into the Yamen of the Ministry of War carelessly.

   But after all, he has been the Minister of the Ministry of War for five years. After the official at the yamen saw him, he immediately bowed his head deeply: "Master Shangshu."

  Li Xin ignored them and went straight in. He walked to the front yard of the Ministry of War, and Qian Sheng, the right servant of the Ministry of War, had already come out to greet him and bent deeply towards Li Xin.

   "Xiaguan has seen Lord Shangshu."

  Li Xin took a deep look at the fat man, and then asked with a smile: "Qian Shilang, what did you tell your majesty when you presented a picture to your majesty?"

   This fat fat man must have betrayed Li Xin when he presented the map of Northern Xinjiang to the Emperor Taikang, otherwise the Emperor would not have said those words to Li Xin.

  Qian Sheng's chubby body trembled, and he lowered his head and said, "Lord Shang Shu... I don't understand what you said to a lower official..."

   Li Shangshu snorted and said solemnly: "You don't know how to grasp the opportunity given to you, and everything is shaken out, right?"

  Qian Sheng was so frightened that he almost knelt down, and said in a trembling voice, "Master Shang Shu, I really don't understand what you are saying..."

   Li Xin glanced at the fat man, squinted his eyes and asked, "Did you tell Your Majesty that those maps of the northern border have been drawn since the sixth year of Taikang?"

  Qian Sheng's body trembled, but he didn't say anything more.

  Li Xin flipped his sleeves and snorted angrily: "I don't have the same knowledge as you today, where is Shi Lang Xie, I want to see him."
