The next day, Yi Xiaodao got up early in the morning, came to He Yue'er's room, gently pushed the door open, He Yue'er was sleeping soundly on the bed, sleeping peacefully.

Yi Xiaodao brought the door to the room, and after breakfast, an old eunuch and a military general came to Yi Xiaodao's house together.

"Lord Yi, Your Majesty has a decree, this is General Wei Youming Wei of the Yulin Army, and from now on, General Wei will lead five thousand Yulin troops to assist Lord Yi. The servants of the imperial court don't know, and they only wish Lord Yi success in advance! The old eunuch came up and introduced.

Wei Youming is a burly middle-aged man, with a square face, a beard, wearing a suit of armor, and walking sonorously and powerfully. I hope that Lord Yi will give me advice! ”

Yi Xiaodao hurriedly stood up and saluted: "General Wei's words are serious, how can he be dispatched, they are all for His Majesty!" Hey, Master Wei is so familiar..."

Wei Youming unconsciously touched his beard, and said with a hearty smile: "Hahahaha, fighting Handu like this, it's not as handsome as Master Yi!" ”

Yi Xiaodao ignored Wei Youming's words, he really felt that Wei Youming was familiar, and he thought hard in his mind.

Wei Youming was snubbed by Yi Xiaodao, and his hot face was attached to a cold ass, and he was immediately a little displeased, but it was not easy to attack.

The old eunuch snorted "haha" next to him: "General Wei, as the saying goes, 'nobles forget things' is like this." Maybe you've seen it before, and you've had a lot of fate! Master Yi is the minister of the Great Enlightenment, and in the future, you will follow Lord Yi to soar, but you must remember some old slaves~"

Wei Youming saw that the old eunuch handed over a step, so he went down: "Wei still relies on the two of you to carry you a lot. ”

Yi Xiaodao still didn't answer, sat back on the stool, and continued to meditate.

The characters in the old eunuch's palace are the best at observing words and feelings, and when they saw Yi Xiaodao's appearance, they wanted to leave. said: "Lord Yi set the departure date, when His Majesty said, this is three thousand taels, Your Majesty rewarded Lord Yi, Lord Yi, you take it." ”

Yi Xiaodao didn't raise his head, he held his forehead with one hand and knocked on the table with one finger.

"This..."

The old eunuch and Wei Youming were dumbfounded, the first time they met someone who didn't want money, not to mention that this was still His Majesty's reward, thunder, rain and dew were all gentlemen, it didn't matter if they didn't want money, the problem was to be grateful.

"I remember!"

When the two of them were embarrassed and didn't know what to do, Yi Xiaodao slapped the stone table and stood up with a 'rub' sound: "General Wei, please also ask Lao Jia to lead the army to wait outside the East City Gate for a while, Yi will arrive later, father-in-law, please lead the way, I want to see Your Majesty!" ”

The two of them glanced at each other, and they didn't know what Yi Xiaodao wanted to do, but since they had already made it clear, they just did it. Who made him a red man in front of His Majesty?

Yi Xiaodao hurriedly followed the old eunuch into the palace and went straight to Zhao Yizhi's bedroom.

Zhao Yizhi was startled by the mysterious old man last night, and he was so scared that he didn't fall asleep all night.

Zhao Yizhi thought about it all night, and it wasn't until the early hours of the morning that he arranged for the old eunuch to lead Wei Youming to hand over to Yi Xiaodao, he was so sleepy at this time that he was about to fall asleep, who knew that Yi Xiaodao would come to the palace again.

"Wechen Yi knife..."

"Hello~ No courtesy, knife, no outsiders will have to engage in these red tape in the future, delay time, say, what are you doing in the palace?" Zhao Yizhi yawned and stopped Yi Xiaodao's invitation.

Yi Xiaodao stood up straight before he knelt down: "Your Majesty, Wei Chen remembered something and dared to come to ask Your Majesty." I don't know what Your Majesty plans to do about the mines in Yicheng and Jiacheng? ”

Zhao Yizhi closed his eyes and said, "Just because of this, what do I think is the matter?" Why did you suddenly remember this? ”

When Weichen saw General Wei, General Wei's appearance couldn't help but remind Weichen of the miner in Jiacheng. In the past, Weichen said that the court would deal with it properly, but now it has been delayed for a long time, and I hope that His Majesty will decide. Yi Xiaodao explained the reason.

Wei Youming's face was full of beard, and at first glance he did have some similarities with Xu Hong, a miner in Jiacheng, which made Yi Xiaodao think about it.

Zhao Yizhi replied: "Nanhuai has been returned to the imperial court, and the mine... Naturally, it should also belong to the imperial court. It's just that the imperial court is short of manpower, and now it can't afford to send people to open mines, knife, what do you think? ”

Yi Xiaodao raised his head and replied honestly: "Xiaodao doesn't know." ”

"Nanhuai returned to the imperial court, and the mines also belonged to the imperial court, which is a matter of course. However, this mine is located in Yicheng, but Jiacheng was discovered first, and the two cities also need to allocate some. I am determined to find some fields and mines of the great families in Nanhuai and return them to the imperial court. Then order the mines here in Yicheng to produce half of the minerals, and the remaining half will be divided between the two cities..."

Yi Xiaodao was surprised: "Don't suffer from widowhood but suffer from unevenness, so evenly divided, the two cities may still have complaints... However, the land and money mines that were collected from other clans were enough to seal the mouth of the two cities, and it also weakened the strength of the Nanhuai clan, Your Majesty Shengming! ”

"Hey, don't be a sycophant here, the two cities must be indispensable to complain. I have to rely on you to explain to the court, and it is difficult for you. Zhao Yizhi was also polite. By the way, Nanhuai has changed so much, I heard that the two cities have long been peaceful, why do you still bother with this matter? ”

Yi Xiaodao smiled slyly: "The people of the two cities are extremely good at martial arts, if Weichen does not bring a soldier and goes to Donglu alone, he may be free, but it will be delayed for a long time." Now he has 5,000 soldiers and horses... The minister wants to go to Nanhuai to recruit some more people..."

Zhao Yizhi smiled: "You have a lot of ideas." Okay, then there you go. Do it cheaply, you don't have to do everything. If the two cities are too little, you can take 30% of each of the two cities at the mine. ”

Yi Xiaodao hurriedly kowtowed: "Weichen thank Your Majesty for your grace." ”

"Alright, let's go, I'm going to sleep again..."

Yi Xiaodao walked out of the palace, and the old eunuch and Wei Ruming followed behind Yi Xiaodao, secretly a little frightened: just looking at General Wei, he reminded him of an old matter, which was not only perfectly solved, but even invisibly shared the worries of His Majesty, this son is really not trivial.

Yi Xiaodao didn't have time to care about what the old eunuch was thinking, and after saying goodbye to the old eunuch, he went to Dongcheng.

"Where is Lord Yi going?" Wei Ruming heard that on the day of Yi Xiaodao's wedding, His Majesty personally said goodbye, and it was rumored that Yi Xiaodao loved his wife as his life, but at this time he went in the opposite direction and reminded him.

"Let's go, go to Nanhuai. Aren't the 5,000 soldiers stationed outside the eastern city? Yi Xiaodao asked suspiciously.

Wei Ruming even claimed that "Lord Yi has worked hard for the imperial court, I don't know how long this trip will take, whether Lord Yi wants to go home and say goodbye to his family..."

Yi Xiaodao smiled dumbly: "Old Wei, I didn't expect you to be quite big and tall, and your heart is quite thin, so don't bother." He Yue'er is at home, I am very relieved. Let's hurry up, without further ado, get to Nanhuai one day earlier, and recruit soldiers and horses to have more hope. ”

"The last general is too worried." Wei Ruming bowed his head and replied.

……

Coincidentally, the two of them just left Dongcheng and led the soldiers and horses to drive onto the official road, only to see a team in the distance, walking on the official road.

Yi Xiaodao looked at the flag, patted his horse and chased after him, Wei Ruming also hurriedly beckoned some cavalry, and followed closely behind Yi Xiaodao.

"This official is an official of the Great Apocalypse Imperial Court, and the privy envoy of the fifth rank official is also, who is in the way in front of him, and he will not get out of the way!" Yi Xiaodao asked loudly.

The strange thing is that when the group saw Yi Xiaodao, not only did they not retreat, but everyone laughed, and someone had already stepped forward and informed the owner.

"It turned out to be a loyal father, a grandfather, and a subordinate official was rude." When Yi Xiaodao saw the comer, he didn't get off the horse, he rode his horse forward, sat on the horse and saluted pretendically.

The person who came was Li Dingxing, who was also riding a horse, and scolded with a smile: "Don't fix these vain, it's only been a few days since the official?" This official tone has a good appearance. ”

Yi Xiaodao also smiled: "This is the first time I want to show off my majesty, and I also met a hard stubble, and my life is bitter." I said you left the capital, why didn't you say hello? ”

Li Dingxing looked Yi Xiaodao up and down: "Why do I think that when you become an official, you are more like a scoundrel than when you were not an official?" Where are you going? You didn't say hello to me! The wicked sued first. ”

Yi Xiaodao saw that Li Dingxing was playing poor with himself, and he was a little sure in his heart, Li Dingxing lost his father and brother, and now the hereditary throne of his ancestors has also been taken to withdraw from the domain, I am really afraid that he will not be able to think about it for a while, and the whole person will fall because of this.

Li Dingxing looked at Yi Xiaodao's team and frowned: "You want to go to Nanhuai?" Didn't you go to pick up Xianglian'er? ”

"Yes, this time I went to Nanhuai to do a marriage for you and Xianglian'er, your palace is much bigger than my small house, I'm afraid it's not lively enough, so I brought 5,000 soldiers and horses to help the loyal public!" Yi Xiaodao began to talk nonsense.

"Flim, it's not passing by." Li Dingxing glanced at Yi Xiaodao.

"Hahahaha, go with you, have a companion all the way, go to Nanhuai first." Yi Xiaodao immediately hugged Li Dingxing, and almost dragged Li Dingxing off the horse, and the guards and retainers on the side stood on both sides in a panic, for fear that something would happen to the two.

Li Dingxing didn't think there was anything, such a Yi Xiaodao was the Yi Xiaodao he knew. Although the official position is still far inferior to him. He is a prince who has become a prince, which is a bit demeaning; And Yi Xiaodao has changed from a white body to a fifth-grade official, and his promotion speed is really fast, and more importantly, he is now a celebrity in front of Zhao Yizhi, and the second-grade and third-grade officials dare not show off their official authority when they see him.

The two teams formed a team, and after a few days in parallel, when they reached a fork in the road, Yi Xiaodao arched his hand and said: "There is still the emperor's order below, the second son, see you again in the future." ”

"You haven't told me where you're going with so many soldiers and horses. I'm an idle public servant now, and I have no soldiers and no power in my hands, so are you afraid? Li Dingxing thought about it for a few days, and finally decided to use the radical method.

Yi Xiaodao smiled: "If you hide it, no one will hide it from you, the second son." Borrow a step to speak. ”

Yi Xiaodao pulled Li Dingxing aside and said: "My trip is to go to Donglu, but the imperial court has no soldiers to send, only allocated me 5,000 men, I am going to Yicheng, Jiacheng, in order to completely agree with the two families, and by the way, see if I can recruit some more soldiers and horses in Nanhuai..."

"Donglu? I heard that the war is endless, and the people's livelihood is poor, and it is no better than Nanhuai when you go there, and your 5,000 men and horses can't make big waves. Li Dingxing asserted.

"Do your best, obey the destiny of heaven. In this life, people always have to do something important. I don't need to roll any waves, I'm avenging my daughter-in-law, what waves am I going to make? Yi Xiaodao said nonchalantly.

The two teams gradually drifted apart, one to the east and the other to the south, Li Dingxing looked at Yi Xiaodao's back as he gradually moved away, and said to himself: "I will help you..."
