Ye Guogong frowned and said: "Your Majesty, the old minister is old, he has long stopped asking about the world, and he has no energy to teach his apprentices anymore, besides, this year, the old minister has also come into contact with Jing'an Hou, Jing'an Hou is full of talent, and he is much stronger than a person like Lao Chen, who has half a body in the ground." ”

The Son of Heaven and Li Xin glanced at each other.

Then he spoke: "I also know that the old man is old, and I don't have the idea of embarrassing the old man, what I mean is to let Jing'an Hou worship a teacher, just have a name, and don't need to be taught by the old man himself." ”

The Taikang Tianzi smiled and said: "I am here in person, won't the old prince not give face at all?" ”

As an emperor, when it comes to this, there is actually no room for refusal.

Ye Sheng sighed, lowered his head and said, "Then the old minister can only be cheeky." ”

Li Xin stood up at the right time and knelt down in front of Old Man Ye.

"Disciple Li Xin, meet the teacher."

Ye Sheng hurriedly helped Li Xin up, and sighed slightly: "Hurry up, there is no formal apprenticeship yet, Jing'an Hou is too polite." ”

Li Xin stood up with a smile, bowed his head and said, "What Master Ye said is true." ”

Seeing that this matter was finally done, Taikang Tianzi was also quite happy, and said with a smile: "In this case, my trip is not in vain, and when I go back, I will let Qintian supervise and choose an auspicious day, and I will personally come to the old country to accept apprentices and be a witness." ”

Li Xin and Ye Sheng both bowed their heads to Taikang Tianzi and said, "Ministers, thank you, Your Majesty." ”

Taikang Tianzi stayed in the Ye family for about an hour, and then left to go back to the palace, he will not be on the throne for a long time, and many things in the court are not familiar with it, so if you want to control the court situation, you have to pour a lot of effort and spend a lot of time.

There are many things that he has to do personally.

This is a helpless thing, after all, the current situation is unstable, Taikang Tianzi can only use this stupid way to do things, and when he takes the forbidden army in his hands, he can properly delegate power to the subordinates, and he doesn't have to worry about his regime being overturned.

Li Xin and Ye Sheng sent the Son of Taikang to the gate of the Guogong Mansion, and the Son of Heaven turned around and smiled at Li Xin: "I still have something to do when I go back to the palace, Chang'an, you will stay in the Ye family for a while longer, and ask Ye Guogong for advice." ”

Li Xin bowed down.

After the Son of Heaven paused, he smiled at Zhong Xiaoxiao and asked, "Xiaoxiao, will you go back with me?" ”

Because the ninth princess is still living with the Queen Mother, the Son of Heaven will have this question.

Li Xin shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, Xiaoxiao will not go to the palace, the minister has already greeted the Queen Mother." ”

"That's good."

The Son of Heaven turned around and got on the dragon chariot, and slowly walked away amid the Ye family's congratulatory voice.

Li Xin turned around and winked at Ye Sheng, and said with a smile.

"Master Ye's granddaughter will marry into the palace the year after tomorrow, and at this time I will become Master Ye's apprentice, and in terms of seniority, Your Majesty will be a generation shorter than me."

Ye Sheng glared at Li Xin angrily.

"If you have the ability, you can say this in front of Your Majesty."

The old man took his hand, turned around and walked into his house, Li Xin was not angry, he smiled, and followed with a step.

Ye Mao, the little grandfather with a confused face, caught up with Li Xin in three or two steps.

"Brother Li...... What the hell is going on? ”

Li Xin stopped, his face full of solemnity.

He said solemnly to the little grandfather of Chen Guogong's mansion: "Little grandfather, from now on, you can't call me brother." ”

Ye Mao scratched his head.

Li Xin said solemnly: "You have to call me uncle." ”

The little grandfather was anxious.

"You're not as old as me......"

"Seniority has nothing to do with age."

Li Xin patted this guy on the shoulder with a smile and said in a deep voice: "When your father Ye Shaobao comes back, he will also call me junior brother." ”

Li Xin turned around and walked towards the backyard of the Ye family, leaving the little grandfather alone, standing at the gate of the Ye family in a daze.

When he first met Li Xin, he was in the palace of King Wei, at that time Li Xin was still a white man in coarse cloth clothes, how could this product be transformed into his uncle in just one or two years?

The little grandfather can't figure it out.

…………

In Ye Sheng's yard, Li Xin poured a glass of wine for Old Man Ye with a smile, smiling like a chicken thief.

"Master Ye, the disciple has done a beautiful job, he has not left any handle, no one will count this matter on the heads of our masters and apprentices in the future."

Old man Ye shook his head and glanced at Li Xin deeply.

"In the future, do less of this kind of thing."

Li Xin sat down, a little curious.

"What does Master Ye mean by this?"

Ye Sheng snorted and said: "You are fooling your Majesty like this, completely keeping Your Majesty in the dark, and treating Your Majesty as a fool, he may not be able to find out once or twice, or if he finds out, he will pretend not to know, but after a long time, you will bring trouble to yourself." ”

"You are no longer those little people in the market, you have to act steadily, you have to walk on the right path, in order to walk smoothly, for a long time, some small interests, you would rather give up, than find trouble for yourself."

Old man Ye taught earnestly.

"In this way, the old man can rest assured that you will take care of the Ye family."

Li Xin was silent for a while, and then asked, "Master Ye thinks that His Majesty has found out this time?" ”

"Not this time."

Ye Sheng said in a sullen voice: "Your Majesty is too eager to get the forbidden army, and if you care about it, it will be chaotic, otherwise if he calms down and thinks about it, he will understand that your kid is not honest." ”

"That's not it."

Li Xin said with a smile: "It's good for everyone, so why not." ”

"But what Master Ye taught is that this kind of cleverness is not the right way, and the disciples will try to use it as little as possible in the future."

Ye Sheng nodded.

"What's your next step?"

"The next step is naturally to go to work in the military department honestly."

Li Xin said softly: "Since serving in the Ministry of War, the disciple has not officially been to the Ministry of War, and the position of the squire of the Sixth Department is not low, and the disciple wants to take the power of this position in his hands." ”

"It's not low."

Ye Sheng lowered his head and took a sip of wine, and said: "When the old man came back from the north, he was just a military secretary, and at your age, the old man was just a military commander. ”

After drinking a few sips of wine with Li Xin, Old Man Ye turned around and went to his room, and soon took out a large stack of ancient books, many of which were already yellowed and even smelled of rot.

Ye Sheng held these books in front of Li Xin and spoke.

"This is the art of war written by the sages, there are thirty-six volumes of the "Book of Martial Arts", and seventeen volumes of "The Art of War", which is the cornerstone of the entry of military generals.

Li Xin stood up and looked at the books in amazement.

"Master Ye, are you serious?"

Ye Sheng blew his beard and glared: "The old man has not accepted apprentices in his life, but he is afraid that people will ruin the reputation of the old man, and now he has no choice but to accept you kid, so naturally he must train and train well, otherwise the old man will die in the future, and you will not learn and learn in this world, won't it ruin the old man's reputation?" ”

As he spoke, he said: "These books are all unique treasures, don't break them for the old man, remember to return them after reading them." ”

Li Xin glanced at this old ** faintly.

"Master Ye, as far as my disciple knows, when you were sick and fought in the Northern Zhou Dynasty...... I can't read all the words. ”

Old man Ye's face was not red and he was not panting.

"So what?"

"You didn't know how to read when you were fighting, why do you want your disciples to ...... now?"

"Because the old man is your master."

Old man Ye held his head high, and he was right.
