Ye Lin, the Minister of War, traveled south from the capital a few thousand miles away. It was unrealistic to say that he came to Yongzhou to visit Li Xin.

The Ministry of War is responsible for the secret affairs of the country's military. Every day, there are many documents in the Ministry of War every day. A few years ago, when Li Xin was the Minister of War, if he had not been the manager of the Ministry of War, he might not have been able to handle the affairs of the Ministry of War well. Ye Lin was born in the general and was more than enough to do this position, but he would not have been able to leave the capital after he said it.

He was ordered by the imperial court to serve as the general of Hanzhong. Once there was any abnormal movement in the southwest, the Hanzhong garrison would be the first to conflict with the southwest. At that time, the Fourth Young Master Ye would have to confront Li Xin head-on.

That's why before he went to Hanzhong, he took a detour to Yongzhou, representing the Ye family and Emperor Yuan Zhao, and advised Li Xin to return to Beijing to calm the situation.

This is a difficult situation.

Now, there are three Zhechong Mansions transferred by the imperial guards in Hanzhong, and there are probably nearly 100,000 troops. However, if they really fight with the southwest, they will not break through Jianmen Pass. If the southwest follow the previous plan and let the Hanzhong army enter Shu, and destroy the Hanzhong army or even destroy it, then Ye Lin, as the main general, will definitely suffer a crime.

People may even be said to be colluding with the Southwest and deliberately bringing the Hanzhong army to death. If this crime is implemented, even the Ye family cannot protect him, and the Ningling Marquis' Mansion will be destroyed!

More importantly, there was also a deputy general who went to Hanzhong with him and stared at him, and he would fight the battle as much as he should.

This is a difficult problem raised by those ministers in the court to Li Xin or to the southwest.

The two brothers and brothers drank in the quiet room for two or three hours. Both of them drank unconsciously and slept in the quiet room.

By the time Li Xin woke up, it was almost noon the next day. He rubbed his head, which was a little painful and sucked in a breath of cold air.

I looked around and found it was in my room.

Not long after, the Ninth Princess brought a bowl of sobering soup, placed it beside the bed, and whispered: "This is the first time I have seen you drink like this in so many years."

Li Xin picked up the white bowl and took a sip, rubbed his temples, and asked, "Where is Senior Brother Ye?"

"I left early in the morning."

The Ninth Princess shook her head: "I can't stop me. I insisted on telling me that I had something to do. I told him that I would wait for you to wake up before leaving. He didn't listen. He left a note and left."

Marquis Jing'an shook his head and smiled bitterly: "When drinking, it's still not better than the Ye family."

He looked up at the Ninth Princess and asked, "Where is the note?"

The Ninth Princess took out a piece of white paper from her sleeve and handed it to Li Xin: "I have kept it myself, no one has seen it."

She glanced at Li Xin and said softly: "Xiao Xiuqi from the Xiao family is here again. In the past few months, he has come almost once every two days. If he doesn't see anyone, he will sit at the door and wait. Otherwise, you will see him once and tell him clearly what he has to do so that he will not be annoying to come every day."

While speaking, Li Xin had already finished drinking a bowl of sobering soup. He rubbed his head and said in a muffled voice: "I will see him later. Madam brings Shen Gang over. I have something to let him do."

The Ninth Princess nodded and turned around and left.

After she left, Li Xin opened the note left by Ye Lin. There were not many words on the note, only a few lines.

"My elder brother's health is getting worse and he is afraid that his life will not last forever. Several auxiliary ministers ordered me to serve in Hanzhong. The intention was not good. Ye Mao only temporarily led the Zhenbei Army, and the Ye family was in a state of turmoil."

"What is the situation in the world? It's all in Chang'an's thoughts."

It is only a few lines of words, and it seems to be as heavy as a thousand pounds.

Duke Chen Ye Ming has always been in poor health. When he returned to his hometown Ningling, he was to mourn the old Duke Ye Sheng, and to take care of his health. Now it seems that this Ye Shaobao can't hold on for too long.

Although Ye Mao was in charge of Jimen Pass, he was not qualified enough and could only temporarily take over the position of General Zhenbei. In other words, if the court wanted to, he could send another general.

Ye Lin left this note, meaning to advise Li Xin to be more steady and try not to conflict with the court as much as possible.

After reading this note, Marquis Jing'an sighed slightly, found a fire note, lit it, and threw it into the stove in the room.

There is no use for this kind of thing to stay. He doesn't care, but it's not good for Ye Lin.

While he was closing his eyes and pondering, Chen Gang had already lowered his head and walked in, saying in a deep voice: "Mr.

Li Xin looked up at Chen Gang and slowly spoke: "Go to Jincheng and tell Zhao Jia and Mu Ying."

"If the fight starts, let them guard Jianmen Pass and don't let the court come in."

Chen Gang bowed his head neatly and said, "I will go now."

After Chen Gang left, Li Xin got up and washed his face, changed into clean clothes, woke up for a while and walked to the front hall, greeted the servants, and said, "Go and call the person named Xiao in."

After a while, a servant brought Xiao Xiuqi, who had a slightly fat figure, in.

Xiao Xiuqi is the eldest son of the Xiao family, Li Xin's uncle. After Xiao Mingli died, he inherited the head of the Xiao family as a corpse. After a few years, he has gained some weight.

After entering the main hall, Xiao Xiuqi shrank and looked up at Li Xin, then bowed respectfully and bowed respectfully: "Xiao Mingli has met Marquis Jing'an."

Li Xin sat in the main seat and did not move, and said lightly: "If you have anything, I will say it quickly. I don't have much time."

If it were ten years ago, Li Xin might have driven him out and sent someone to beat him up, but ten years have passed, and the anger and resentment at the beginning have dissipated. He looked at these Xiao family again and felt that they were like passers-by, which was very different from ten years ago.

Xiao Xiuqi took a deep breath and gritted his teeth.

"Mr. Marquis, I have a child from Xiao family. Two years ago... I was a Jinshi in high school, but I waited in the capital for two years and I have never been able to make up for the vacancies. Marquis, look..."

Li Xin looked up at Xiao Xiuqi.

"Your son?"

Xiao Xiuqi lowered his head: "My brother's son, Taikang was lucky enough to be in high school for eight years..."

Marquis Jing'an narrowed his eyes.

"Three A?"

Xiao Xiuqi smiled bitterly and nodded.

The Jinshi is divided into three grades, and the third grade is the worst Jinshi, but you can generally get a vacancies. For example, those who have been waiting for two years to make up for the vacancies are either short of money or unlucky.

Although the Xiao family is not rich, it is not poor either, so the Xiao family is mostly unlucky.

Li Xin originally thought that Xiao Xiuqi was coming to find him to ask for an official position.

But the head of the Xiao family knelt on the ground and smiled bitterly: "Marty Li, it has been more than ten years since the incident that year. The Xiao family should have changed their surnames and surnames. You have also said that we will no longer hold us accountable for the faults of that year..."

Li Xin then realized.

He frowned and looked at Xiao Xiuqi.

"You wouldn't think that I said hello to someone so that your family can't make up for the vacancies, right?"

Xiao Xiuqi stared at Li Xin with wide eyes, his eyes full of confusion.

His meaning is very obvious.

Isn't it...

Marquis Jing'an is both angry and funny.

"One of the time, I don't care about the affairs of the Ministry of Personnel, and two, I don't know that your Xiao family has a Jinshi."

"Get out quickly, come over and mess around again, and take his reputation as a Jinshi!"
