Chapter 625: Domineering Old Man Ye
Li Xin had actually thought about this question before.
He is only in his early twenties, and he is almost already a supreme minister, that is to say, in his later career, not only will there not be many channels left for him to rise, but even there will not be too many positions left for him.
He is now the general of the forbidden army, and after this time he is rewarded for his meritorious deeds, if he is promoted, then he can only go one step further and achieve the position that Pei Jin Pei Saburo once used to be - the general of the forbidden army.
Further up, you can only enter the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion.
However, Li Xin is still young now, and he is not surnamed Ji, so the chances of entering the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion are not very high.
In addition to this, it can only be to do some "civilian", such as the military department.
Li Xin had been a squire in the military department for a few months before, and if he entered the military department again, it would be impossible to say that he did not have a position of Shangshu, but this position was honestly not very interesting, but it was just the promotion of military attachΓ©s in charge, as well as the heavy military resources, as for the military power to transfer troops, it was completely in the hands of the emperor and the metropolitan governor's office.
According to Li Xin's own meaning, after he returns to the capital, he can continue to hold the position of general of the forbidden army, and then find another idle position in the court, after all, he has been preparing to keep a low profile in the past two years, so he is not ready to think about going further or anything.
He is already a second-grade general, and the further first-grade is generally a pension position, or a somewhat sensitive position, Li Xin also wants to temporarily reduce his sense of existence so that he no longer looks so dazzling.
After hearing Ye Sheng's question, Li Xingang wanted to speak back, but suddenly thought of something, and slowly spoke: "What advice does Master Ye have?" β
Old man Ye glanced at Li Xin with satisfaction, and then said slowly: "According to the old man's wishes, it is better for you to leave the forbidden army for the time being." β
Li Xin blinked his eyes and said with a smile: "Who should the right battalion of the forbidden army be handed over?" β
Ye Sheng sighed and said, "As long as you move your ass away, there will naturally be countless people rushing to sit down, and as for who sits on it in the end, it's none of our business." β
Li Xin nodded with a smile and asked, "Then Master Ye said, after resigning from the errand of the forbidden army, what should the disciple do?" β
"Don't worry, you have such a great merit, the court can't let you stay at home for no reason, it is estimated that Your Majesty will transfer you to the Ministry of War, with your current merits, no one can take away your position as the secretary of the Ministry of War."
Speaking of this, Old Man Ye, who was originally sitting upright, lay down on the recliner again.
"Chang'an, the old man has a word of persuasion, I don't know if you, a young man, can listen to it."
Li Xin's face was solemn, and he got up and saluted Ye Sheng.
"Master Ye instructs."
"If you are a secretary of the military department, don't come out, you should be idle for a few years, it is a good thing for everyone."
Li Xin closed his eyes, pondered the meaning of Old Man Ye's words, then opened his eyes, bowed his head and clenched his fists at Ye Sheng: "Master Ye's meaning, the disciple has already understood, and after going back, the disciple will take the initiative to go up, resign from the position of the forbidden army, and ask the court to be idle at home for a few years." β
Old man Ye didn't speak, but sighed slightly in his heart.
After Li Xin said this, seeing that Ye Sheng did not respond, he sat back on his small bench and smiled: "Master Ye, has someone come to look for you?" β
Ye Sheng closed his eyes and did not answer.
The Marquis of Jing'an smiled: "Master Ye doesn't speak, I'll treat you as a default, and the disciple will ask a few more words." β
"That person asked Master Ye to persuade me to leave the forbidden army?"
Old man Ye opened his eyes and said a word without being salty.
"He asked the old man to hint at you a few words, but he didn't let the old man say it so bluntly."
The meaning of Ye Sheng's words is that he deliberately said it so bluntly that Li Xin could hear it.
In other words, he was just perfunctory to the Taikang Tianzi who asked him to do this.
Li Xin laughed dumbly.
"Master Ye, you were sued by the disciple when you said this, be careful that you don't protect your evening."
Ye Sheng was lying on the chair, his eyes didn't open, he just snorted with some disdain: "The old man is at this age, his eyebrows are next to the soil, what else is there to be afraid of?" β
"If his grandfather and father came to see me in person, the old man might still respect him, but he ......"
Speaking of this, Ye Sheng did not continue.
In the final analysis, although Taikang Tianzi is the Son of Heaven, he has not entered the eyes of this old man, if it is not for the sake of future generations, Ye Sheng may not even be too lazy to be perfunctory.
When the tea was almost drunk, Li Xin removed the teapot, ran to Old Man Ye's room, turned out a pair of chess, and placed it in front of Old Man Ye.
"Master Ye hurry up and play two handfuls with his disciples."
Old man Ye was leisurely on the recliner, when he heard this, he opened his eyes and looked at it, and said with some disdain: "If I don't play with you, you kid will only play those tricks, and it's not interesting." β
Because of the relationship between personalities, the chess paths of the master and apprentice are very different, Ye Sheng's style of playing chess is straightforward, with some extremely sharp killing taste, but Li Xin is relatively much calmer, that is to say, he prefers "operation".
So Ye Sheng doesn't like to play chess with him very much.
Of course, it is also because Old Man Ye can't win most of the time.
Li Xin patted the chessboard and said with a smile: "Hurry up, the next two disciples are going back to eat." β
Old man Ye was unmoved.
"When you are older, you have to play more chess, otherwise you will be prone to Alzheimer's ......"
Still no movement.
The Marquis of Jing'an had no choice but to make the final concession.
"Here, let you get a car, okay?"
Old man Ye lazily sat down from the recliner and reluctantly sat opposite Li Xin.
There is a gap in the chess strength of the two people, but the difference is not big, let a big car, that is, Li Xin loses more and wins less.
"You said it yourself, but the old man didn't force you."
Li Xin didn't speak, and gave the somewhat scoundrel old man a roll of his eyes.
The chessboard was quickly set up, and Ye Sheng changed his lazy appearance just now and became extremely serious.
The chessboard is the battlefield, and on the battlefield, the old man has always been extremely serious.
The two of them talked casually while playing chess.
Old man Ye relied on the "large number of people", replaced one of Li Xin's horses with a cannon, then stroked his beard, and said with a smile: "Chang'an, I haven't seen you for more than a year, why are you so slow?" β
Li Xin gave him a blank look again.
"Master Ye, although the injuries on Ye Ming's body seem to be fine, they still have to be well conditioned at home, otherwise I am afraid that the root of the disease will fall back in the future."
"Don't worry, I asked a doctor to treat his body yesterday."
Ye Sheng was strategizing on the chessboard, and said: "In recent years, you have been living in the capital, no matter what, you have this credit, no one dares to do anything to your family in the recent period, after you deal with those two troubles, you also take advantage of this time to rest, how to say that you are still young, you can't be like an old man, busy in Vanity Fair all day long." β
Li Xin moved the car he was left with, and then smiled with some meaning: "It's naturally easy to rest for a few years now, but I'm afraid that after a few years, my eyes will be black for the court, and maybe I don't know why, I will lose my life." β
"The old man isn't dead yet."
Old man Ye spoke very domineeringly.
"The old man is not dead, who in the capital does not dare to touch my disciple?"
Li Xin smiled slightly.
"Then I wish you a hundred years of old age."
