After the little grandfather Ye Mao, I don't know how many people came to the Jing'an Hou Mansion to say hello to Li Xin, some of them were Li Xin's old department in Yulinwei, and most of the others were his subordinates in the military department.

It is true that Li Xin is a hand-shaking scholar, but no matter what, he is a serious secretary of the military department, and when he is idle, he will go to the military department to take a turn, so the officials of the military department will naturally not give up this opportunity to make a fool of themselves, and on the morning of the second day after the birth of the Jing'an Hou Mansion, these military officials lined up to come to the Jing'an Hou Mansion to give gifts.

Although Lord Shangshu is not very in charge of things, and I haven't heard of anyone he has promoted in the military department in recent years, but in addition to the errand of the military department, this Li Shangshu also has a prominent position as a prince and a prince, although he has not been to the court much in recent years, but almost everyone in the capital knows about it.

The emperor of the dynasty often called the prince and master to enter the palace to drink.

This is a veritable thigh, even if it is not a thigh in this dynasty, Xiao Li Shangshu is only in his twenties, and he will become an emperor in the future, and he will still be the one with the most power.

What's more, it is somewhat inappropriate for other yamen officials to come over to give gifts to Li Xin, and there is even a taste of tending to be inflammatory, but the officials of the military department have a natural advantage, and it is reasonable for them to go to give gifts.

So the two squires of the Ministry of War were the leaders, and the next day the officials of the Ministry of War almost arrived, and obediently lined up at the gate of the Marquis of Jing'an to hand over the gift list.

Li Xin was originally accompanying the eldest princess by the bedside, but when he heard Chen Sixteen come over and say that all the members of the military department had arrived, he immediately frowned, and gently held the palm of the eldest princess: "Madame will rest here for a while, and I will go to meet them." ”

The eldest princess nodded and smiled, "Since it's your subordinate, please come in and have a glass of wine." ”

Li Xin winked at his daughter-in-law and smiled: "You can't be too good to them, otherwise you will kick your nose and face, and what prestige will you have in the yamen in the future as a husband?" ”

The eldest princess gave Li Xin a blank look.

"You, it's good to be able to go to the Yamen of the Ministry of War for one day in ten days, and you still think about what prestige!"

Li Xin left the inner courtyard with a smile and walked towards the main hall.

In the main hall of the Jing'an Hou Mansion, more than a dozen senior officials of the military department, such as squires, langzhong, and outsiders, all stood in two rows in the main hall in a regular manner.

The two squires of the military department now, the left squire is still the Xie Jun seven years ago, when Li trusted the right squire of the military department, this Xie squire was in the military department as the left squire of the real leader, seven years have passed, this old man's hair is almost white, and he is still the left squire.

In fact, this is not a shameful thing, the position of the six squires is already a high-level in the court, and if you want to go further, then you can't all look at qualifications and abilities, but look at luck and saints, unfortunately, this Xie Shilang is very unlucky, the former secretary of the military department is the Hou Li Shen, and it is easy for Li Shen to disappear, and Li Xin has done this military department secretary again.

And the other squire of the military department is Qian Sheng, a member of the military department who was quite flattering to Li Xin when Li Xin was in the military department.

Qian Sheng was originally unknown among the members of the military department, but after Li Xin became the secretary of the military department, this foreign man ran to the Jing'an Hou Mansion twice in three days, and then rose all the way in a few years and sat in the position of the right waiter.

Qian Sheng's promotion process, although there is no shadow of Li Xin's interference, anyone with a discerning eye can see that it must be this young Shangshu master behind his back, who has promoted Qian Fat, so that he can be promoted step by step in three or four years.

This is also the reason why all these military officials rushed to the Jing'an Hou Mansion to congratulate them.

After Li Xin came to the main hall, the officials of the Ministry of War, led by Xie Jun and Qian Sheng, all bowed down to Li Xin.

"Subordinates, I've seen Li Shangshu."

"Congratulations to Li Shangshu for winning Lin'er and his family is prosperous."

Li Xin put his hands behind his back and walked in front of these people, and then sighed a little helplessly: "If you want to come to congratulate you, just send a representative, otherwise it is okay to let Xie Shilang and Qian Shilang come over, how can you come to my mansion together, you are all here, and the yamen of the Ministry of War will be empty, if so many official affairs are delayed, it is still me who will suffer in the end." ”

Li Xin once wanted to go to work in the military department, but after persisting for six or seven days, he gave up completely and returned to the Hou Mansion to make salted fish.

The case is so deep that it can really bury a person completely.

The gray-haired Xie Shilang, who has the most seniority in the military department, smiled bitterly at Li Xin when he heard this: "Li Shangshu, the old man also dissuaded them, but they didn't listen, for fear that they would be one step too late and miss the great opportunity." ”

Qian Sheng, who was closer to Li Xin, had a big belly and smiled at Li Xin: "Li Shangshu don't be surprised, everyone just wants to come to Li Shangshu to say goodbye, and they will go back after a while, although there are many errands in the military department, but if you delay for an hour or two, there will be no big problems." ”

Li Xin glared at the fat man.

"What you said is light, now there may be generals and military attachés from other places, waiting for approvals, waiting for work reports, and other ordnance in the yamen of the Ministry of War, and I was told that you have all come to give me this Shangshu as a gift!"

Qian Shilang rolled his eyes in his heart, and said in his heart You also know that the errands of the military department are heavy, and you Li Shangshu do not touch the yamen of the military department all year round......

Speaking of this, Li Xin coughed and said: "That's it, the two squires are not responsible for specific errands, stay and have lunch together, and the rest of your colleagues, let's go back to work, it doesn't matter if I am alone, I have delayed the errand of the imperial court, and Your Majesty is going to condemn our military department." ”

It is still a bit useful for him to speak this Shangshu, and besides, this is his Hou Mansion, after hearing this, these people left the gift list one after another, and then turned to Li Xin and said goodbye.

Li Xin was also not polite, and instructed Chen Sixteen to accept these gift lists.

If the water is clear, there will be no fish, he will not accept gifts, these subordinates will not be happy, and the people sitting in that position will not rest assured, since this is the case, collect some money and collect some money, anyway, these guys are not clean, and they are even disguised to eliminate harm for the people.

After the officials of the military department were cleaned, the main hall suddenly became a lot more spacious, and Li Xin asked people to arrange for the elderly Qian Shilang to serve tea on the other side, leaving only the fat man by his side.

"Qian Shilang, have you got what I want?"

Qian Fat immediately lowered his head, took out a thick envelope from his sleeve, and bent over to hand it to Li Xin.

"Master Hou, this is a summary of the maps of the Northern Zhou Dynasty that his subordinates have asked the Staff Division to collect in the past few years, and there is also a copy of the latest map of the Northern Territory drawn by the Staff Division, which was sent to Master Hou as soon as possible,"

Qian Sheng took over Li Xin's position, and in the Ministry of War, he led the Treasury Department and the Staff Division, and the Staff Department was responsible for the world's public opinion, and drawing maps was one of their responsibilities.

Li Xin nodded, tucked the envelope into his sleeve, and then patted the fat man's shoulder and smiled slightly.

"I don't have anything to give you, so I'll show you a way to get a reward."

Li Xin lowered his voice and said slowly.

"You send another copy of these things to Your Majesty, and you don't dare to say that you will be promoted and rich, Your Majesty will definitely reward you with some good things."
