According to the rules, Li Xin only went north to take office this time, at most he would be the Minister of War or the Minister of the Ministry of War to send him off. However, he himself was the Minister of War, and the Ministry of War was busy now, so no one came to send him off.

Only by leading an army to the war is worthy of the emperor's personal visit.

But the emperor knew that Li Xin was leading his army to fight this time, so he came in person.

Li Xin walked to the emperor and acted as he was about to kneel down.

"I bow to your Majesty."

The emperor reached out to support Li Xin, but did not let him kneel down, shook his head and said, "Chang'an, you have become more and more apart from me recently. When there was no one in private, you would not perform these false rites."

Li Xin did not forcefully kneel down, but just whispered: "I used to be ignorant, but now I have been an official for a long time, so I know."

The emperor did not struggle with this matter and said, "If nothing unexpected happens, the fight in the north should have started now."

The emperor was talking about the Zhong family army in Yunzhou City. Calculate the time. Zhong Heng brought his things to Yunzhou City for a while. According to the emperor's previous arrangement, the Zhong family army should have already met with Yuwen's troops.

As for the specific situation, because of inconvenient transportation, the news has not yet been sent back to the capital.

Li Xin stood with his hands down and said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I have visited Yunzhou City. The Yunzhou army is strong and stronger than the imperial guards. When they fight with Yuwen's troops, the worst case is that they cannot catch up and are unlikely to be defeated."

All the entire Jin Dynasty knew that the Yunzhou Army was the Zhong Family Army. Even when the emperors of all generations called the Yunzhou Army, they sometimes directly said that it was the Zhong Family Army. However, others were not easy to directly mention the three words "Zhong Family Army" in front of the emperor. After all, theoretically speaking, it was the army of the court, not the Zhong Family.

To talk about the Zhong family army directly, it is suspected of being sowed by disagreement.

When the emperor heard Li Xin's words, a smile appeared on his face.

"I feel much more relieved when I hear what you said in Chang'an."

"But my lack of horses in Jin Jin is indeed a big problem."

The emperor turned to look at Li Xin and said with a smile: "Chang'an, you want to go to Jimenguan to take up your post. It is estimated that you will have to stay for several years. There are several good horse farms to the north. With your ability in Chang'an, can you get a few horse farms for me to raise horses first?"

There are indeed several good horse farms north of Jimen Pass, but apart from Jimen Pass, it is not considered the territory of the Great Jin Dynasty. Obviously, the horse farm mentioned by the emperor is something from the Yuwen tribes.

The Marquis of Jing'an smiled bitterly: "Ye Shaobao is always stationed in Jimen Pass, but he dare not advance north easily. I am not stronger than Ye Shaobao, so I dare not speak nonsense."

Speaking of this, Li Xin paused and continued, "But after I went north, I would probably fight with Yuwen's troops. Then I would set up a few horse farms for His Majesty to raise horses, and there would be a chance."

The emperor laughed.

"With Chang'an, you said this, it will take a few years for my horse in Dajin to double."

After Emperor Wu unified the world, with the work of several generations of famous prime ministers, Dajin had a relatively strict horse politics in horse raising, raising and training horses, but he was suffering from not having a good horse farm, which led to few war horses.

Until the end of the seventh year of Taikang, there were only 150,000 war horses across the Dajin country, and a large part of them were old horses who were no longer able to go to the battlefield.

There are also part of the reason why the emperor looks north.

In this era, horses mean mobility, combat capability and transportation capability, which are very important strategic materials.

"Your Majesty is absurd."

Li Xin stood quietly with a humble attitude.

The emperor was in a good mood and said directly: "A few days ago, I gave Yunzhou City three million yuan to fight with Yuwen's troops. Now you have to go north to lead troops in Chang'an. I can't treat you badly. If you have any needs, just tell me and I will immediately send the people below to the north."

Li Xin lowered his head and said, "I have used the identity of the Minister of War and transferred some things from the Ministry of War. Although it is not a lot, it can be used for a while. I only ask the court to send enough food and grass from the northern army in Jimenguan Town. Autumn is coming soon, and winter is soon, and the most important thing is to eat enough."

"This is natural, I will instruct the Ministry of Revenue to do it."

Speaking of this, the emperor glanced at Li Xin and smiled and said, "I heard that you went to the Ministry of War a few days ago. It was not only as simple as picking up things from the Ministry of War, but also stabbed the officials of the Ministry of War with a knife and released a lot of blood."

Li Xin blinked his eyes and smiled on his face.

"Is it Qian Sheng, Fatty, Qian and His Majesty who said it?"

The emperor smiled but said nothing.

"This fat man couldn't control his mouth and talked about the family scandals of the Ministry of War."

Marquis Jing'an said lightly: "The things I have mentioned in the Kubushi are all on their books, and it is their own problem if they can't give them out."

As he said that, he bowed his head to the emperor and said.

"Although I have not managed the Ministry of War much in recent years, I am the Minister of War. There are such a big gap within the Ministry of War, and I am guilty of being in the wrong supervision."

"If your Majesty has the intention, you can send the Censorate to the Ministry of War to investigate. Now they are making up for this deficit, and a large group of people can be found by investigating it."

At this time, it was not Li Xin who betrayed his colleagues, but the fat man who betrayed his colleagues from the Ministry of War. Since the emperor already knew about it, Li Xin, the Minister of War, could only take the initiative to apologize himself.

The emperor smiled and shook his head.

"It is not easy for them to bleed and make up for a little bit of gap. That is, you, Li Chang'an, have a different skill. If you change to someone else to go to the Ministry of War, it will be more difficult to let these people spit out what they eat, than climbing the sky."

"It was not a big deal to change a group of people in the Ministry of War, but now the war is about to begin, so it is not appropriate to change people from the Ministry of War. Many things on the front line depend on them to operate."

Emperor Taikang smiled slightly: "Let's wait until you come back from the north, and then consider whether to purify the Ministry of War."

It is not difficult for an emperor to know what the people below are doing. After all, as emperors, there are many people like Qian Sheng who are willing to be their eyes and ears.

In other words, many emperors knew very clearly that those ministers under their command were greedy, who were not, who were greedy more, and who were greedy more, and who were greedy more, might be placed neatly on the emperor's table.

It only depends on whether the emperor is willing to pursue it.

Generally speaking, as long as you don’t cross the line, offend people, or no one impeaches you, the emperor is too lazy to care.

After all, as an emperor, his duties are to be peaceful in the country and to be peaceful in the world. If a corrupt official is not corrupt, that is the matter of the Censorate and has nothing to do with him.

After the king and his ministers talked for a while, Li Xin saw that the teams under the city tower had already gathered. He took a deep breath and lowered his head and fisted at the emperor: "Your Majesty, Ye Mao and the others are ready. If you don't leave, it will be noon in a while, and you won't be able to walk far this day."

The emperor nodded and reached out to pat Li Xin on the shoulder.

"When you come back from the north of Chang'an, you and my brothers will talk carefully."

"I'll invite you to drink at that time."

Li Xin bent down deeply.

"I will do my best to live up to the expectations of Your Majesty and the court."
