According to the rules, Li Xin only went north to take up his post this time, and at most, the secretary or squire of the military department came to send him off, but he himself was the secretary of the military department, and the military department was busy now, so even the military department did not come to see him off.

Only by leading the army to go on the expedition is it worthy of the Son of Heaven to send him off personally.

But the Son of Heaven knew that Li Xin was leading the army to the expedition this time, so he came in person.

Li Xin walked in front of the Son of Heaven and was about to kneel.

"Your Majesty."

The Son of Heaven stretched out his hand to support Li Xin, did not let him kneel, shook his head and said: "Chang'an, you have recently broken up with Zhenyue, and when there was no one in private before, you would not do these false courtesies." ”

Li Xin didn't force himself to kneel, but just said in a low voice: "In the past, he was a minister who was ignorant, but now that he has been an official for a long time, he will know." ”

The Son of Heaven did not dwell on this matter, and said: "If nothing else, the north should have started fighting by now." ”

The Son of Heaven is talking about the Yunzhou City Plantation Army, calculate the time, Chong Heng brought things to Yunzhou City, it should have been a while, according to the previous arrangement of the Son of Heaven, now the Plantation Army should have met with the Yuwen Tribes.

As for the specific situation, because the transportation is inconvenient, the news has not yet been transmitted back to the capital.

Li Xin stood with his hands down, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, rest assured, the minister has been to Yunzhou City to see, the Yunzhou army is strong and strong, stronger than the forbidden army, they fight with the Yuwen tribes, the worst case is that they can't catch up, and it is unlikely to be defeated." ”

The entire Great Jin Dynasty knows that the Yunzhou Army is the family army, even if the Son of Heaven in the past dynasties called the Yunzhou Army, sometimes he will directly say that it is the family army, but in front of the Son of Heaven, it is not easy to directly mention the word "seed army", after all, theoretically speaking, it is the army of the imperial court, not the family.

Directly talking about the family army, there is a suspicion of sowing discord.

When the Son of Heaven heard Li Xin's words, a smile appeared on his face.

"Hearing Chang'an's words, I am much more relieved."

"But my lack of horses is indeed a big problem."

The Son of Heaven turned his head to look at Li Xin, and said with a smile: "Chang'an, you are going to Jimen Pass to take up your post, it is estimated that you will stay for several years, and there are a few good horse farms further north, with your ability in Chang'an, can you get a few horse farms for me to raise horses first?" ”

To the north of Jimen Pass, there are indeed several good horse farms, but in addition to Jimen Pass, it is not considered the land of the Great Jin Dynasty.

The Marquis of Jing'an smiled bitterly: "Ye Shaobao is stationed in Jimen Pass, and he doesn't dare to go north easily, and the minister is not stronger than Ye Shaobao, so he doesn't dare to speak falsely." ”

Speaking of this, after Li Xin paused, he continued: "However, after the minister goes north, most of them will have to fight with the Yuwen tribes, and it is not without a chance to get a few horse farms for His Majesty to raise horses when the time comes." ”

The Son of Heaven laughed.

"With your words Chang'an, in a few years, my Dajin horses will be doubled."

After Emperor Wu ruled the world, under the pen of several generations of famous ministers, the Great Jin Dynasty had a set of strict horse policies in terms of horse breeding, horse breeding and horse taming, but it was difficult to have a good horse farm, resulting in not many war horses.

Until the end of the seventh year of Taikang, there were only 150,000 war horses in the whole country of Dajin, and a large part of them were old horses that had no way to go to the battlefield.

The Son of Heaven looks north, and there are also some reasons for this.

In this era, horses mean mobility, combat ability, as well as the ability to transport and transport, and are very important strategic goods.

"Your Majesty has praised it."

Li Xin was humble and stood quietly.

The Son of Heaven was in a good mood, and said directly: "A few days ago, I gave Yunzhou City three million things, let them do it with the Yuwen Tribe, and now Chang'an, you also have to go north to lead the troops, I can't treat you badly, if you need anything, you just have to tell me, and I will immediately let the people below send them to the north." ”

Li Xin bowed his head and said: "The minister has used the identity of the secretary of the military department to transfer some things from the treasury department of the military department, although it is not a lot, but it can also be used for a period of time, the minister only asks the court to send enough grain and grass to the northern army of Jimen Guanzhen, and now it will be autumn immediately, and it will soon be winter, and the most important thing is to be full." ”

"This is natural, I will tell the household department to do it."

Speaking of this, the Son of Heaven glanced at Li Xin and said with a smile: "I heard that when you went to the Ministry of War a few days ago, it was not only as simple as picking up things from the Ministry of Treasury, but also stabbing those officials of the Ministry of War and releasing a lot of blood. ”

Li Xin blinked, and a smile appeared on his face.

"Did Qian Sheng, the fat man and His Majesty say it?"

The Son of Heaven smiled but did not speak.

"This fat man, he can't keep his mouth shut, and he talks about the ugliness of the military department everywhere."

The Marquis of Jing'an said lightly: "The things that the ministers mentioned from the Treasury Department are all on their books, and it is their own problem if they can't give them." ”

As he spoke, he bowed his head to the Son of Heaven and said.

"Although the minister has not managed the military department much in recent years, he is also the secretary of the military department, and there is such a big gap in the military department, and the minister is guilty of negligence."

"If Your Majesty has a mind, you can send Yu Shitai to the military department to check, and now they are making up for this shortfall, and a large group of people can be found out with a check."

At this time, it was not Li Xin who betrayed his colleagues, but the fat man who betrayed his colleagues in the Ministry of War.

The Son of Heaven shook his head with a smile.

"It's not easy for them to bleed to make up for a little gap, that is, your Li Changan's ability, if you change someone to the military department, it is even more difficult to get these people to spit out what they have eaten."

"Originally, it was not a big deal to change a group of people in the military department, but now that the war is about to start, it is still not appropriate to change the people in the military department, and many things on the front line depend on them to operate."

Taikang Tianzi smiled slightly: "Let's wait until you come back from the north, and then consider whether to purge the military department." ”

It is not difficult for an emperor to know what the people below are doing, after all, as an emperor, there are many people like Qian Sheng who are willing to be their eyes and ears.

In other words, many Sons of Heaven know very well which of these ministers under their hands is greedy, which is not greedy, which is more greedy, and how much is greedy, maybe they are all neatly placed on the table of the Son of Heaven.

It just depends on whether the Son of Heaven is willing to pursue it.

Under normal circumstances, as long as you don't step on the line, don't offend anyone, or no one impeaches, the Son of Heaven is too lazy to care.

After all, as an emperor, his duty is to be peaceful, the world is peaceful, and corrupt officials are not corrupt officials, that is the matter of Yushitai, and it has nothing to do with him.

After the two of them talked for a while, Li Xin saw that the team under the city had been assembled, he took a deep breath, bowed his head to the Son of Heaven and clenched his fists: "Your Majesty, Ye Mao, they are ready, if they don't leave, it will be noon in a while, and they won't be able to go far this day." ”

The Son of Heaven nodded, reached out and patted Li Xin's shoulder.

"When you come back from the north in Chang'an, you and my brother will have a good talk."

"When the time comes, I'll invite you to drink."

Li Xin bent deeply.

"Minister, I must do my best to live up to Your Majesty's expectations and the expectations of the court."

"Da Jin will be at the peak of the Taikang Dynasty!"
