Pei Min and Yuan Qianyao entered the main hall of Menxia Province together, and after serving tea.

Pei Min did not hide his intentions, and said that he would discuss the matter of the Central Army with Li Yi.

Yuan Qianyao said with a smile: "I want someone to invite Li Xiang, Pei Xiang can wait for a while." ”

As he was talking, Li Yi entered from outside the house and stepped forward to salute.

This is also the benefit of the prime minister, except for the emperor and the crown prince, whoever sees him must greet him.

Pei Min waved his hand and asked him to sit on the side.

Yuan Qianyao was the most interesting, and left under the pretext.

There are only Pei Min and Li Yi left in the main hall.

Li Yi only felt a little uncomfortable, since he heard Li Heng's words, he had a feeling that he didn't know how to face Pei Min.

Pei Min didn't think about it so much, looked at Li Yi, who was a little tired, and only thought that he was not suitable for the environment of Menxia Province, and said: "In this Menxia Province, I feel a little uncomfortable!" ”

Li Yi was indeed uncomfortable, and said, "I couldn't adapt to ...... all of a sudden."

It is not difficult for Pei Min to guess the reasons for various details, and said: "Yuan Xiang is the one who has served as the prime minister for the longest time in my dynasty, although he does not have a sense of existence, but he is the character that no one can offend, and the temple and the civil and military are willing to be friends with him, and no one will be an enemy with him." After more than ten years, he may have average prestige, but his friends are all over the government and the opposition. It is reasonable to be repulsed by your appearance. ”

Li Yi saw that Pei Min had made his words clear, and he didn't hide it, so he smiled bitterly: "I can also understand, but His Majesty appointed me as the permanent attendant of the Zuo Scattered Cavalry to take charge of the affairs of the province, so I can't ignore it, right?" To be honest, a certain is still very envious of Pei Xiang, it has only been a few months, and he has already controlled the situation of the temple and entered the state. ”

If it weren't for Li Heng's words, he would have come to the door to ask for advice.

Pei Min shook his head and said: "This is that the king of the county is too upright, at the beginning of the establishment of the three provinces, it was indeed clear and the division of labor was established. However, the separation of powers among the three provinces will inevitably lead to drawbacks such as mutual containment and low efficiency. Up to now, the three provinces have jointly discussed and worked together, and the functions of the three provinces have gradually tended to be mixed and integrated, and there is not so much attention. You don't have to worry about the affairs of Menxia Province, to be honest, I feel that the trivial matters of Menxia Province are not suitable for the county king, and you can avoid head-on conflicts without asking. When the county king has made achievements, the officials of the province will naturally accept you. On the day when the source said goodbye to each other, the king of the county naturally took advantage of the trend. ”

Li Yi thought of Li Heng's words again, and was a little suspicious in his heart, and for a moment felt that Pei Min was a little ill-intentioned, and had a feeling of being trapped, so he immediately said quietly: "Then you can't do nothing down, right?" ”

"Of course!" Pei Min didn't think about it so much, he didn't have any wariness of Li Yi, and said: "Today, I came to find the king of the county, and I have a beautiful gift for the king of the county." Can the county king know about the situation of the Central Forbidden Army? Even if you don't understand, the king of the county is also a person who knows the soldiers, and he can see the bear-like appearance of the Central Forbidden Army with the naked eye. I don't know if the king of the county can see it, anyway, I can't see it, I have to treat it well. The Beiya Forbidden Army is not under our control, so we can't take care of it for the time being, and we'll talk about it later. However, the 12 guards of the Nanya Forbidden Army, in the hands of you and me and other prime ministers, will take them under the knife. ”

Li Yi was stunned for a while, and then said: "The king of the county is in charge of the rectification of the Nanya Forbidden Army?" ”

"yes!" Pei Min said without hesitation: "I have decided this matter alone, and I don't plan to discuss it in the political hall." In this military matter, instead of listening to the literati chewing on all kinds of problems, it is better for me to be arbitrary. It's not that I underestimated them, even if I let them discuss it for a year, it's not as clever as an idea I came up with on a whim. ”

Li Yi laughed with deep understanding, it is not that there are no civil servants who are good at military affairs in history, but there are definitely the majority of people who talk about soldiers on paper.

Pei Min continued: "Originally, I planned to do this matter myself after dealing with the affairs of Liaodong, the king of the county came at the right time, your military strategy is not inferior to that of Zaixia, and I can rest assured that you are in charge, and I can use my mind on the chaos in the northeast." That's right......"

He thought of Guo Ziyi again and asked: "When Li Xiang starts, there will definitely be a shortage of manpower, I will introduce you to a person Guo Ziyi, this person is talented, needless to say." It's just that he has a bad fate, and he has never had the opportunity to display his talents, which is worth a lot of use. ”

Li Yi looked at Pei Min deeply, and didn't even know how to say it for a while, and struggled in his heart: According to King Zhong's statement, His Majesty takes himself as the prime minister and takes charge of the subordinate province in order to check and balance Pei Xiang, so as not to make his family dominant.

But now he has handed over the training of the Central Forbidden Army to himself?

Since Li Yi said goodbye to Li Heng that day, he has thought about his words more than once.

The more I thought about it, the more I felt that what Li Heng said was very reasonable, and Li Longji promoted him to auxiliary minister, which really meant to check and balance Pei Min.

In other words, he and Pei Min should be on both sides of hostility and hostility.

But Li Yi was not willing to be an enemy of Pei Min in the bottom of his heart, he had no grudge against Pei Min, but admired his military achievements, so he was very embarrassed.

Pei Min is now so carefree, and even put him in charge of the training of the Nanya Forbidden Army.

Li Yiyan didn't know that as long as he completed the training of the Nanya Forbidden Army, not to mention that the brand-new Nanya Forbidden Army would listen to his orders, he would obviously be more intimate with himself, and if he installed a few of his own people in some important positions, it would be no less than controlling the Nanya Forbidden Army in his own hands.

In this one-acre and three-point land of the Beijing Division, how convenient is it to be able to control the forbidden army?

Pei Min actually gave up this kind of good thing to himself?

"What's wrong?"

Pei Min saw that Li Yi was stunned, and seemed to have a thousand words, but he didn't know how to say it, and said in surprise: "Is there something wrong?" Or embarrassed? ”

Li Yi shook his head and said, "It's just a little overwhelming...... he paused and said: "Your Majesty, with you and I as the auxiliary ministers, the county king didn't think much about it?" ”

Pei Min suddenly realized in his heart: "It turns out that the king of the county is thinking about this? Your Majesty has the intention of letting you and I check and balance each other, this is the emperor's mental trick, which is reasonable, not surprising. But I think that checks and balances are not enemies, there is no need to have no contradictions, contradictions arise for no reason, stupid fights to the death, and ruin national affairs! I think before you and I don't have that intention, it's the right thing to do our own thing and work for Datang together. One day, one of you and I will change, and that will be the time of hostility. ”

"This future thing, I Pei Min can't guarantee it, at least at this moment, I have a clear conscience!"

Li Yi was moved to get up and bow, and said to himself: "Li Yi is ashamed, completely with the heart of a villain, the belly of a gentleman, here to make amends to the king of the county." ”

Thinking of Li Heng's villain style that is implied everywhere without saying everything, and then looking at Pei Min's demeanor and personality charm today, is it the difference between heaven and earth?

Pei Min got up and said, "The king of the county has given a certain answer!" ”

Li Yi's heart knot was untied, and he said respectfully: "The king of the county can rest assured to deal with the Northeast secrets, and the Nanya Forbidden Army can rest assured that it will be handed over to a certain person." ”
