Chapter 625 The Domineering Old Man Ye

Li Xin actually thought about this question himself before.

He was only in his early twenties and was almost an extremely powerful minister. In other words, in his future career, not only did he not have many channels for him to rise, but he did not even have too many positions left for him.

He is now the general of the Imperial Guard. After rewarding merits this time, if he is promoted, he can only go further and become the general of the Imperial Guard when Pei Jin was once the position of Pei Sanlang.

Going further up, you can only enter the Grand Governor's Office.

However, Li Xin is still young now and his surname is not Ji, so the chance of entering the Grand Governor's Office is not high.

Apart from this, you can only do some "civilian positions", such as the Ministry of War.

Li Xin had been the Minister of War for several months. If he entered the Ministry of War again, it would be unreasonable to say that there was no position of the Minister of War, but to be honest, this position did not mean much. It was just that the promotion of military officers and military officials were promoted, and the military officials were all in the hands of the emperor and the Grand Governor's Office.

According to Li Xin's own wishes, after he returned to the capital, he could continue to be the position of the Imperial Army General, and then he would have another idle position in the court. After all, he has been preparing to be more low-key in the past two years, so he is not going to think about further.

He is already a second-rank general. To the next level, he is usually a retirement position. Or he is a sensitive position, and Li Xin also wants to temporarily reduce his presence so that he no longer looks so dazzling.

After hearing Ye Sheng ask this, Li Xin was about to reply, but suddenly thought of something and slowly said: "What suggestions do Master Ye have?"

Old Man Ye looked at Li Xin with satisfaction, then slowly said: "According to my wishes, it's better for you to leave the imperial guards for the time being."

Li Xin blinked and said with a smile: "Who should I give the right camp of the imperial guards to whom should I take it?"

Ye Sheng sighed and said, "As long as you move your butt away, there will naturally be countless people rushing to sit. As for who will sit in the end, it's nothing to do with us."

Li Xin nodded with a smile and asked, "Master Ye said that after resigning from the Imperial Guard's errand, what should the disciples do?"

"Don't worry, for such great contributions to you, the court will not let you be idle at home for no reason. I guess Your Majesty will transfer you to the Ministry of War for your current contributions. With your current contributions, no one can take away your position as the Minister of War."

Speaking of this, Old Man Ye, who was sitting upright, lay down on the recliner again.

"Chang'an, I have a piece of advice. I don't know if you, a young man, can listen."

Li Xin looked solemn and stood up to salute Ye Sheng.

"Master Ye's advice."

"After becoming the Minister of War, don't stand up. You should be idle for a few years as long as you should be idle for a few years, which is a good thing for anyone."

Li Xin closed his eyes, thought about the meaning of Old Man Ye's words, then opened his eyes, lowered his head and fisted at Ye Sheng: "The disciples have understood what Master Ye meant. After returning, the disciple took the initiative to go up, resigned from his position as an imperial guard, and asked the court to work at home for a few years."

Old Man Ye didn't say anything, but just sighed slightly in his heart.

After Li Xin said this, seeing that Ye Sheng did not respond, he sat back on his small stool and smiled: "Master Ye, has anyone come to see you?"

Ye Sheng closed his eyes and refused to answer.

Marquis Jing'an smiled and said, "Master Ye doesn't speak, I will just treat you as accusation. Then the disciple asks a few more questions."

"That man asked Master Ye to persuade me to leave the imperial guards?"

Old Man Ye opened his eyes and said something calmly.

"He asked me to hint you a few words, but I didn't let me say so bluntly."

The meaning of Ye Sheng's sentence is that he deliberately said it so bluntly that Li Xin could hear it.

In other words, he just perfunctorily treated the Emperor Taikang who asked him to do this.

Li Xin laughed in silence.

"Master Ye, you are sued by your disciples for saying this. Be careful that you will not be safe in your later years."

Ye Sheng lay on the chair without even opening his eyes, but just groaned with disdain: "I am at this age, and my eyebrows are all right next to the dirt. What else can I be afraid of?"

"If his grandfather and his father came to see me in person, I might have respected him, but he..."

Speaking of this, Ye Sheng didn't continue talking.

After all, although Emperor Taikang was the emperor, he did not fall into the eyes of this husband. If it were not for the sake of future generations, Ye Sheng might not even bother to be perfunctory.

After drinking the tea, Li Xin took the teapot down, ran to Old Man Ye's room, took out a pair of chess, and placed it in front of Old Man Ye.

"Master Ye quickly get up and give me some tricks."

Old man Ye was leisurely on the recliner. Hearing this, he opened his eyes and looked at it, and said disdainfully: "If you don't play with you, you kid can only play those tricks, it's boring."

Due to personality, the chess game between the master and the apprentice is very different. Ye Sheng’s chess style is straightforward and has a sharp and killing taste, but Li Xin is relatively calm, which means 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 is not in the most part.

Li Xin patted the chessboard and said with a smile: "Get up quickly, the disciples are going back to have dinner in the next two moves."

Old man Ye was unmoved.

"At a lot of age, you should play more chess, otherwise you will easily become Alzheimer's disease..."

There is still no movement.

In desperation, Marquis Jing'an had no choice but to make the final concession.

"Come on, let's have a car, right?"

Only then did Old Man Ye sit down lazily from the recliner and reluctantly sit opposite Li Xin.

There is a difference in chess skills between the two people, but the difference is not big. If a big car is Li Xin, the more he loses, the less he wins.

"You said it yourself, it wasn't what I forced you."

Li Xin didn't say anything and rolled his eyes to the somewhat scoundrel old man.

The chessboard was quickly laid out, and Ye Sheng changed his lazy appearance just now and became extremely serious.

The chessboard is the battlefield, and the old man has always been very serious on the battlefield.

The two of them talk casually while playing chess.

Old Man Ye relied on the fact that he had "a large number of people and powerful people", replaced one of Li Xin's horses with cannons, then stroked his beard, and said with a smile: "Chang'an, I haven't seen you for more than a year, why have you been much slower?"

Li Xin gave him a blank look again.

"Master Ye, although the injuries on Ye Ming's body look fine, they still need to be properly conditioned at home, otherwise the disease may fall back into the root cause in the future."

"Don't worry, I asked the doctor to take care of him yesterday."

Ye Sheng was strategizing on the chessboard and said, "In recent years, you have been in the capital. No matter what, you have made a contribution. No one dared to attack your family in recent times. After you dealt with those two troubles, you also took advantage of this time to take a break. No matter how young you are, you can't be like an old man, working all day in the world of fame and fortune."

Li Xin moved the remaining car and then smiled inexplicably: "It is naturally easy to rest for a few years now. I am afraid that after a few years, I will lose my life after a few years. Maybe I don't know why I will lose my life."

"The old man is not dead yet."

Old Man Ye spoke very domineeringly.

"I am not dead. Who in the capital who is blind and dares to touch my disciple?"

Li Xin smiled slightly.
