Chapter 3 Maps

It is naturally a great joy to have a family member. After the young master Ye Mao, many people came to the Jing'an Marquis' Mansion to express their gratitude to Li Xin. Some of them were Li Xin's old subordinates in the Yulin Guard back then, while most of the others were his subordinates in the Ministry of War.

It is true that Li Xin is a scattered minister, but no matter what, he is a serious minister of the Ministry of War, and when he is idle, he will go to the Ministry of War for a walk. Therefore, the officials of the Ministry of War naturally would not give up this opportunity to flatter. On the morning of the second day after the Jing'an Hou Mansion gave birth, these officials of the Ministry of War lined up to the Jing'an Hou Mansion to give gifts.

Although Lord Shangshu is not very responsible and has not heard of anyone promoted to the Ministry of War in recent years, in addition to the errands of the Ministry of War, this Shangshu Li also has a prominent position as a prince and Taishi. Although he has not attended court in recent years, almost everyone in the capital knows it.

The emperor of the current dynasty often called the prince and the Grand Tutor to enter the palace to drink.

This is the true thigh. Even if he is not a thigh in this dynasty, Li Shangshu was only in his twenties. In the future, he became the imperial teacher and would still be the one with the most say.

More importantly, other officials from the yamen came over to give gifts to Li Xin, which was somewhat inappropriate, and even had the taste of being inclined to the point of being inclined. However, officials of the Ministry of War have natural advantages. It is very reasonable for them to give gifts to the officials of their own government.

So, headed by the two ministers of the Ministry of War, almost all the officials of the Ministry of War arrived the next day and lined up at the gate of the Jing'an Marquis' Mansion to hand over the gift list.

Li Xin was originally accompanying the eldest princess by the bed. When he heard Chen Shiliu coming and say that all the members of the Ministry of War were here, he frowned and gently held the eldest princess' palm: "Madam, rest here for a while, I'll go see them."

The eldest princess nodded and smiled and said, "Since you are your subordinates, just come in and have a drink."

Li Xin blinked at his wife and smiled and said, "You can't be too kind to them, otherwise you will be arrogant and have any prestige in the yamen for your husband in the future?"

The eldest princess gave Li Xin a blank look.

"You, it would be great if you can go to the Ministry of War for one day in ten days. You are still thinking about your prestige!"

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

In the main hall of the Jing'an Marquis' Mansion, more than a dozen senior officials of the Ministry of War, assistant ministers, doctors, and official widows, all stood in two rows in the main hall.

The two ministers of the Ministry of War, the Left Minister, are still the one who was the one who was seven years ago. When Li Xin was the right minister of the Ministry of War, the minister of Xie was the Left Minister in the Ministry of War. Seven years have passed, and the old man's hair is almost white, and he is still the Left Minister.

In fact, this is not a shameful thing. The position of the Six Ministers is already a senior in the court. If you want to go further, you cannot depend on your qualifications and abilities, but on your luck and the holy family. Unfortunately, this Minister of War Xie was very unlucky. The former Minister of War was the Marquis Li Shen. After all, Li Shen disappeared, and Li Xin became the Minister of War again.

Another assistant minister of the Ministry of War was Qian Sheng, a member of the Ministry of War who was quite flattering to Li Xin when Li Xin was in the Ministry of War.

Qian Sheng was originally unknown among the Minister of War, but after Li Xin took office as Minister of War, the Minister of War, ran to the Marquis' Mansion in Jing'an every few days. In a few years, he was promoted all the way and sat in the right assistant position.

Although Qian Sheng's promotion process was not like Li Xin's intervention, anyone with a discerning eye could see that behind his back it must be this young Master Shangshu who promoted Fatty Qian to make him rise step by step in three or four years.

This is also the reason why all of these officials from the Ministry of War came to the Jing'an Marquis' Mansion to congratulate him.

After Li Xin arrived at the main hall, officials from the Ministry of War, led by Xie Jun and Qian Sheng, bent down to Li Xin to salute.

"Subordinate, I have met Shangshu Li."

"Congratulations to Shangshu Li for his happy acquisition of Lin'er and his family is prosperous."

Li Xin walked to these people with his hands on his back, and then sighed helplessly: "You are here to congratulate you and send a representative, otherwise you can let Mr. Xie and Mr. Qian come over. How can you come to our mansion together? You all come, and the Ministry of War will be empty. If so many official duties are delayed, I, the Secretary of State, will be the one who suffers the consequences in the end."

The Ministry of War was responsible for military generals across the country, as well as military equipment, food, maps, etc. The departments within the yamen were in chaos and there were many things. Li Xin once wanted to go to the Ministry of War to work seriously, but after six or seven days, he completely gave up and returned to the Marquis' Mansion to make salted fish.

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

The gray-haired Shishang Xie had the most experienced in the Ministry of War. He smiled bitterly at Li Xin after hearing this: "Shu Li, I have also dissuaded them, but they didn't listen, for fear that they would miss the great opportunity if they came one step late."

Qian Sheng, the Minister Qian, who was close to Li Xin, smiled at Li Xin with a big belly and said with a grudge: "Don't be surprised by Li Shangshu. Everyone just wanted to come and say goodbye to Li Shangshu. They will go back in a while. Although there are many errands in the Ministry of War, they will not have any major problems if they are delayed for one or two hours."

Li Xin glared at the fat man.

"You are so light. Now there may be generals and military officers from other places waiting for approval in the Ministry of War, waiting for their duties, and waiting for military equipment. They are told that you are all here to send gifts to me, the Minister of War!"

Mr. Qian rolled his eyes in his heart, thinking that you also know that the Ministry of War is heavy, and you, Shangshu, never get involved in the Ministry of War yamen for many years...

Speaking of this, Li Xin coughed and said, "Forget it, the two ministers are not responsible for specific responsibilities. If you stay, stay and have lunch together. The other colleagues will go back to work. It doesn't matter if I do it alone, and it delays the responsibilities of the court. Your Majesty wants to punish our Ministry of War."

His Shangshu's words were quite useful, and this was his Marquis' Mansion. After hearing this, these people kept the gift list and turned around and bowed to Li Xin.

Li Xin was not polite, and ordered Chen Shiliu to take all these gift lists.

If the water is clear, there will be no fish. If he does not accept gifts, these subordinates will not be happy, and those sitting in that position will not be relieved. Since this is the case, you can collect some money. Anyway, there are not many of these guys who are clean, so he will be disguised as eliminating the harm of the people.

After the officials of the Ministry of War were clean, the main hall suddenly became much more spacious. Li Xin asked someone to arrange the elderly Minister Qian to the other side to serve tea, leaving only Fatty Qian by his side.

"Mr. Qian, have you done what I want?"

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

"Mr. Marquis, this is a summary of the Northern Zhou maps that the subordinates have asked the Master to collect in recent years. There is also a map of the Northern Frontier drawn by the Master. It was sent to the Master as soon as possible."

Qian Sheng took over Li Xin's position and led the Ministry of War and the Ministry of War. The Ministry of War was responsible for the world's geomantics. Drawing maps was one of their responsibilities.

Li Xin nodded, put the envelope into his sleeve, then patted the fat man on the shoulder and smiled slightly.

"I have nothing to give you, so I will give you a way to seek rewards."

Li Xin lowered his voice and said slowly.
