Chapter 80: Inside and outside the dossier!

Following Fan Shanshan, Li Yiqi finally came to the door of a heavily guarded lobby, where there were two rows of stubborn armor guards, and officials and generals were hurriedly shuttling through it.

Before these people went in, they were empty-handed, and when they came out, they all held a document in their hands, the surface of the document was all sealed with lead, and then engraved with a cinnabar seal, and the word 'military department' could be faintly seen!

Obviously, this is where the military department stores files, archives, and documents, and the military documents, materials, and even military talismans of the six million soldiers of Great Xia are stored here.

"That's it, after you go in, turn left and find that Master Li, he is in charge of all the big and small affairs here. Fan Shanshan pointed to the door and said, paused, she hesitated for a while, and then reminded: "That Lord Li has a bad temper, after you go in, you had better be polite." ”

"Thank you. Li Yiqi's eyes moved slightly, he glanced at her in some surprise, thanked her, and walked directly inside.

After entering, Li Yiqi saw a middle-aged official in a cyan court uniform sitting in a precarious position, this person had a blue face, looked like a cool official, not angry but mighty, at a glance, he knew that it was not an easy person, maybe it was the 'Li Lord' in Fan Shanshan's mouth

"Is it him?" Li Yiqi said secretly in his heart.

At this time, the other party was lying on the table, waving a pen, and beside him, there were two large stacks of documents piled high, almost blocking half of his body.

Seeing that this person looked focused, Li Yiqi had no choice but to step forward, and from a few steps away from the other party, he bowed his hand and said hello, and asked, "Dare to ask if this is Lord Li?"

"What's the matter?" asked coldly, still on the case file, working non-stop.

"Under Li Yiqi, I have something to ask for help from adults. Li Yiqi replied with a smile.

"Huh?!"

Hearing this, Master Li slowly raised his head, glanced at Li Yiqi, frowned deeply, and said, "Which official are you, why don't you wear court clothes when you come in?"

"Huh?"

Li Yiqi glanced down at the white Confucian robe he was wearing, and his eyelids couldn't help jumping, and now, he understood what those surprised eyes that looked at him before.

The military department has to deal with big and small things every day, and also coordinate the relationship between the military family and the other five departments, there are military attaches and generals from all over the country, and there are officials and officials of the other five departments, but there are no Confucian students, even if they are Confucian ministers, the yamen of the military department must wear court clothes, this is the rule.

Now the relationship between the military family and Confucianism is extremely sensitive, Li Yiqi was wearing a white Confucian robe when he stayed with the prince in the East Palace, he was used to it for a while, how could he think of this, and now he was scolded by the other party, so he had to arch his hand, and said with a wry smile: "In Xia Shi from the Hanlin Academy, now added as a waiter in the East Palace, the first time I came to the military department, I neglected the rules for a while, and I hope your lordship will forgive me." ”

"Hmph!" Lord Li snorted coldly, glanced at him indifferently, and asked coldly, "What is the matter here?"

"I was ordered to check some files, and I have already visited Lord Shangshu before, and he asked me to come to you, and I hope that Lord Shang will make it convenient. Li Yiqi smiled slightly, arched his hand, and said very politely.

"Presumptuous!" Lord Li's brows suddenly furrowed, slapped the table, pointed at Li Yiqi and suddenly reprimanded: "Where did the thief come from, dare to fake the holy order!"

The holy order is the imperial order, that is, the order of the Xia Emperor, Li Yiqi said that he came by order, but he never received any news.

Hearing this, Li Yiqi's face suddenly changed slightly, knowing that the other party had misunderstood, and hurriedly explained: "It's not a holy order, but a prince's order." ”

"The prince is the prince, when will the prince's order be in charge of the military department?"

When Lord Li heard this, his brows suddenly furrowed, and he asked coldly, looking unkind.

Hearing this, a trace of embarrassment flashed in Li Yiqi's eyes, and he hurriedly smiled and said, "So I hope that your lord will make it convenient, I have already looked for Lord Shangshu before, and Lord Fan also agreed." ”

After that, Li Yiqi took out the prince's golden order to prove his identity, and bowed slightly and clenched his fists.

He didn't know the specific identity of the other party, which faction he belonged to, and he didn't know whether the identity of the Li family was good or not.

Seeing this, Lord Li's cold face softened slightly, he looked at Li Yiqi, thought about it, his eyes suddenly froze, his eyes suddenly became extremely sharp, and he said coldly: "Are you here to check the information of the young generals in the army for the prince?"

Now that the battle between the princes and princes is on the surface, those potential newcomers in the army are a point of contention for all parties, but the situation of these newcomers is not only in the capital protection house, but also only in the file library of the military department.

"My lord misunderstood, I'm not here to check this. Li Yiqi touched the tip of his nose and shook his head with a wry smile.

He guessed that the other party thought that the purpose of his coming here was to find those rookies in the army for the prince, but the purpose of his coming here was really not for that. He also wanted the information of those rookies in the army, but in addition to the military department, he still had the Li family's way to get it, so there was no need to come to the military department so blatantly.

"Then what are you looking for?" Lord Li couldn't help frowning.

If it was those materials, he really had to ask Master Shangshu if he had promised to give it to this kid.

"Come and check all the battles that His Majesty the Holy Emperor experienced in the westward expedition at the beginning of the founding of our dynasty. Li Yiqi took a deep breath and said with a straight face.

"What?!" Hearing this, Master Li finally put down the pen in his hand and said with some surprise: "The information you want to check has been thousands of years old. ”

The thousands of years in his mouth are not that those books have been stored in the military department for thousands of years, but that the deeds recorded on them happened thousands of years ago.

"Yes, all the battles of the Western Expedition, the size of the details, I believe that the Ministry of War must still have a record of it. ”

Li Yiqi's eyes flickered slightly, these things belong to real historical events, and the Taishi Mansion also has records, but after all, time has passed, and the Taishi Mansion has to record so many things that happened in the Great Xia Dynasty every year, and the details of a battle a thousand years ago may not be recorded, even if they are lost, it is normal.

However, the Ministry of War is different, the Ministry of War is responsible for the record of the battle, the process of a battle, those details, if you can't even find those details in the file of the Ministry of War, then I'm afraid it is even more impossible to find it elsewhere.

"Those materials ......" After a slight silence, Lord Li turned his head to look at several officials not far away and asked, "Those materials, I remember that they are still in the '癸' character room, right?"

Those officials, you look at me, I look at you, it seems that they can't be sure for a while, however, a clerk next to them who is copying materials has a strange light in his eyes, and suddenly speaks: "Yes, my lord, those materials were refurbished once three years ago, and now they are sealed in the '癸' warehouse. ”

Hearing someone suddenly speak, everyone's eyes turned away, only to see that the clerk who spoke looked extremely young, looking only in his early twenties, and when he saw the eyes of his boss looking at him, his body trembled, and he hurriedly stood up, glanced at Li Yiqi, and arched his hand to Lord Li: "My lord, why don't I take this adult there." ”

"Okay, then you can take him there. Master Li thought for a while, and said to the clerk with a majestic expression: "Remember, any materials must only be read, not copied, and the files must not be taken out of the treasury. ”

After speaking, he had a cold face, put on a send-off appearance, and waved at Li Yiqi: "You follow him out." ”

"Yes, sir!"

The clerk replied respectfully, and when he walked past Li Yiqi, he said respectfully: "This lord, please come with the lower official." ”

"Good. ”

Li Yiqi didn't say much, bowed to Lord Li, followed the clerk, and came to a loft-like building behind the lobby.

The clerk is a small official, knowing the relationship between Li Yiqi and the prince, his attitude is obviously much better than that Lord Li, he owes a debt to Li Yiqi, and then pointed to the attic, and said with a smile: "This lord, this is the file library of my military department, and the subordinate will take the lord in." ”

"Your Excellency is polite, but you are tired of your adult. Li Yiqi smiled and returned the salute.

"Alas, no trouble, no trouble. The clerk waved his hand with a smile on his face.

Stepping into the dark door of the attic, entering the attic, several spacious passages appeared in front of Li Yiqi, this place is obviously extremely busy, there are many clerks coming and going with materials in hand, and at the front of each passage, there are several clerks on duty.

"My lord, go this way. The clerk stretched out his hand and made a gesture of invitation to him.

Li Yiqi nodded, followed the other party into the leftmost passage, and then the two of them went around, and they didn't know how many passages they went around, and finally came to the room marked with a big '癸' character at the door.

"My lord, this room is rarely cleaned all year round, and it may be ...... inside Some flavors. The clerk took out the key from his arms, opened the door, and smiled bitterly at Li Yiqi.

"It doesn't matter. Li Yiqi smiled and walked into the room.

Naturally, the place where the files are stored cannot be lit, so there are huge night pearls inlaid on the walls around the room, and the night pearls emit a soft light, illuminating the spacious and deep and silent room, making the light of the room slightly darker than the outside.

The air in the room was extremely dry, perhaps because of the ventilation, and as the clerk said, the moment he entered the door, he was greeted by the smell of dust.

"Do you know where the information I want to check is?" Li Yiqi frowned slightly, covered his nose, and turned his head to ask.

By the light of the night pearl, he found that the area of this room was really very spacious, and there were many huge bookcases in it, stacked in rows, and there were at least hundreds of them, and each bookcase was full of a large number of files and files, in terms of quantity, I am afraid that it was more than 100,000, which required him to find them one by one, and when would he have to find them.

"Yes. ”

The clerk was still extremely familiar with the work, and without thinking about it, he replied: "According to what is written on the record sheet, the battle on the Holy Emperor's Western Expedition should be placed between Cabinet 122 and Cabinet 130. ”

"Nine cabinets?" Li Yiqi frowned, touched the tip of his nose and smiled bitterly.

"Exactly. The clerk laughed.

"That's enough!" Li Yiqi grinned, his face a little embarrassed.

"Indeed, back then, His Majesty the Holy Emperor went west for three years, hundreds of battles of all sizes, and thousands of files, and I don't know which one the adults want to find. The clerk asked in a low voice with a bright eye.

"Huh. ”

Li Yiqi laughed dryly, and said with a bitter face: "This ....... I don't know. ”

Li Yiqi's words made the clerk stunned for a moment, the latter's eyes rolled back and forth, his eyes flashed with a smart look, and he suddenly stepped forward, saluted Li Yiqi respectfully, and said: "It takes time to go through the file, and I am afraid that my lord will not stay here for long...... You might as well tell the lower official, wait for the lower official to find it slowly, and then send it to the adult. ”

"Huh?!"

Seeing the secretary's posture, Li Yiqi's heart moved, glanced at him, and asked puzzledly, "What do you mean, my lord?"

"In the future, if you want to inquire about any files, you might as well come to the lower officials. With a strange glint in his eyes, the clerk lowered his head and deliberately bit the word 'himself' very hard.
