Chapter Seventy-Three: Little Ahan
In this era, the efficiency of the yamen is often very low, even if all the official procedures are gone, people are not willing to do it for you, you have to wait.
Li Xin was able to do things in a good way because he was the boss of the military department, and it was very different when he put it on the forbidden army.
Although the general of the forbidden army is at the same level as the secretary of the Ministry of War, most of the materials and weapons have to go through the procedures from the Ministry of War, and you can't go to the emperor to sue him if the Ministry of War drags you something, otherwise people will hold a grudge and make a note of you in the small book, and you will never want to take things from the Ministry of War happily in the future.
Hearing Pei Jin's words, Li Xin was stunned, and then smiled helplessly: "Don't hide it from General Pei, you came to me two days ago about this, although I don't manage much in the military department on weekdays, but I can say a few words to you, but yesterday I went to the military department and handed over all the things to Xie Jun Xie Shilang, and even handed over the Shangshu seal of the military department, and the affairs of the military department have nothing to do with me at this time." ”
Pei Jin nodded slowly, and said in a deep voice: "Since this is the case, don't bother Hou Ye Li, Pei will go to the military department in a few days and find Xie Shilang to urge." ”
Li Xin looked at Pei Jin's serious appearance and felt funny in his heart.
The Ministry of War is now estimated to be having a headache because of what he wants, Pei Jin is now alone in asking for things, basically there will be no good end, and the things that the forbidden army wants may also be added to the batch of materials that Li Xin wants to take away.
He rolled his eyes, and suddenly smiled at Pei Jin and said: "General, I still know the situation of the military department very well, if you go to ask for something in the past few days, Xie Jun will definitely not give it to you, why don't I teach you a way to ensure that you can get things from the treasury department happily." ”
Even Pei Jin, who was not smiling, couldn't help but bow his head at this time and said, "Please ask Master Hou for advice." ”
The Marquis of Jing'an smiled and said: "General, the Ministry of War is not afraid of the forbidden army, but he is afraid of Your Majesty, it is not good for you to go to the Ministry of War to ask for things yourself, but since all the approvals of the imperial court have come down, the Ministry of War should give it to you, you just need to find a way to make this matter reach the heavens, even if Your Majesty does not give the Ministry of War a note, as long as you say a sentence during the court meeting, then Xie Jun will give something happily." ”
Pei Jin frowned.
He said with some hesitation: "This is a matter between the forbidden army and the Yamen of the Ministry of War, if you stab your majesty, it will be a violation of the rules, if the Yamen of the Ministry of War holds a grudge, it is estimated that you will not even be able to get the approval document in the future, let alone the ordnance materials......
Li Xin said with a smile: "Don't worry, the general, I am in charge of the military department after all, this is my idea from the secretary of the military department, how can the military department hate the general?" Even if I hold a grudge, when I return to Beijing as the secretary of the military department in the future, the materials of the forbidden army will be given priority, which is not a big deal. ”
Pei Jin lowered his head and thought for a while, and felt that there was nothing wrong with what Li Xin said, so he nodded and said: "Seeing that autumn is about to begin, autumn will be followed by winter, and the military department has not even issued cotton clothes, so I have no choice but to do what Li Hou Ye said." ”
Marquis Jing'an smiled.
"General Pei loves soldiers like a son, which is really admirable."
After a few polite words between the two of them, Li Xin left the forbidden army camp with a thousand forbidden troops.
On the way back, Ye Mao, who was following Li Xin, couldn't help but speak: "Uncle Shi, are you trapping that General Pei?" ”
Li Xin sat on the inky horse as black as carbon, and glanced at Ye Mao: "What's the matter, I am an official in the same dynasty as him, and everyone has been in the forbidden army, how can I harm him?" ”
The little grandfather was a little unconvinced.
"After you came out of the forbidden army camp just now, you showed a wicked smile, you must have some bad intentions."
Marquis of Jing'an glanced back at Ye Mao.
"If you talk nonsense again, I won't take you to the Thistle Gate."
The little grandfather shrank his head and didn't speak.
In fact, Li Xin did harm Pei Jin.
Today's military department should be looking around to make up for the shortcomings, for example, these materials of the forbidden army are one of the stalls to make up, at this time, it is impossible for them to give things to the forbidden army.
But the forbidden army through the emperor's pressure, forced to mention this batch of materials, the military department had to give, but this kind of behavior of sprinkling salt on the wound is undoubtedly more hateful than Li Xin, once the matter is done, the military department, especially the people in the treasury department, may scold Li Xin's mother in the dark, but at the same time, maybe the eighteenth generation of Pei Jin's ancestors will be scolded in.
This offended the military department to death.
This may not affect Pei Jin's career, but it will definitely make the forbidden army have a very hard time in the future.
…………
After receiving people from the forbidden army, Li Xin ordered them to camp outside the east gate of the capital and rest for a day, and then he and Ye Mao went back to their homes to prepare, and gathered at the east gate of the capital early the next morning.
Li Xin went home, accompanied his wife and children for a long time, and then ordered fifty generals from the Jing'an Hou Mansion to take them with him and went north together.
When the general goes out to lead the troops, he will generally bring some of his own people by his side, or called the general, or called the "family ding", when they arrive on the battlefield, these people are the last layer of defense, and they are also the capital of the general's life on the battlefield.
Early the next morning, Li Xin deliberately got up early, and after he finished standing on the boxing pile, the sky was just bright, and his children were still asleep at this time, but the eldest princess also got up early to help Li Xin pack his luggage.
Because it would soon be autumn and winter, and she was going to the north, she prepared a lot of thick cotton clothes for Li Xin and put them on a big car.
Li Xin usually goes out, most of the time he takes a carriage, but when he goes out to fight, he can't do it, he can only ride a horse, after all, with so many infantry, there is no reason for others to walk, you sit in the carriage leisurely and enjoy the happiness.
When it was almost dawn, everything was almost ready, and the little grandfather Ye Mao was also waiting at the gate of the Jing'an Hou Mansion with his family, Li Xin said goodbye to his family and was about to set off.
The eldest princess stepped forward and hugged her husband, although she had already made up her mind not to cry, but when it came to the end, her eyes were still red, and she choked in Li Xin's arms.
"Come back early."
Li Xin nodded and agreed: "If you can come back, you will definitely come back early." ”
"Don't try hard."
Her status is here, although the imperial court has not officially launched a war against the Yuwen tribes now, but the eldest princess already knows a little about it.
The eldest princess whispered in Li Xin's arms: "I heard that the people in the north didn't beat us, it was the imperial brother who wanted to find trouble with them, since this is the case, then don't fight hard." ”
"You have a pair of children at home."
Xiao Jiu wiped his tears on Li Xin's shoulder, gritted his teeth and said: "Ah Han and Ping'er haven't grown up yet, anyone can die, you can't die......"
Li Xin was a little moved, patted her on the back gently, and said softly with relief: "Don't worry, we are bullying the weak this time, there is no risk, no matter what, it is not a problem to come back alive." ”
"You take the kids well at home, and you're at home when you're fine. Don't move around, I'll be back soon. ”
The Ninth Princess nodded.
After the couple finished speaking, when Li Xin was about to leave, a crisp voice sounded behind him.
"Daddy......"
Li Xin looked back and saw his sister Zhong Xiaoxiao holding his eldest daughter Li Shu and standing behind him.
The little girl was sleepy-eyed, in the arms of the little aunt, looking at Li Xin.
The Marquis of Jing'an turned around, walked up to his daughter, reached out and hugged her, and pinched her face with a smile.
"Why didn't Ah Han sleep today and got up so early?"
"Can't sleep."
Xiao Ah Han put his arms around Li Xin's neck and said softly: "I dreamed that Daddy woke up when he went far away, so I asked my little aunt to take me to see Daddy." ”
Li Xinzhong was greatly touched, he hugged his eldest daughter, and for a while, he actually had the idea of giving up going north.
But he gritted his teeth and suppressed the urge.
"Ah Han, go back and sleep for a while, Daddy will buy you something delicious, and he will be back soon......"
