Unparalleled Concubine

As if waking up from a dream, Ye Guogong immediately moved out of the way, and slightly bent towards Li Xin: "Master, please."

"At this moment, it's not easy for you to still recognize me as an uncle."

Li Xin shook his head and smiled: "But don't yell in front of people, it will implicate the Ye family."

"Speaking of which, the Ye family fell into this predicament because I was implicated."

Ye Mao shook his head.

"Uncle Master helps the Ye family more."

The two entered Ye's study together. After sitting down, Ye Mao poured a cup of tea for Li Xin himself. After Li Xin finished drinking the tea, he asked about the current situation of the Zhenbei Army.

Although he had inquired a lot of information from the Anbu of Jizhou, compared to the Ye family who actually controlled the Zhenbei Army, the accuracy of the information was still far behind.

After Li Xin asked a few words, he nodded and said, "In this way, it is not a problem for the Zhenbei Army to support it for a few more months."

"It has been very difficult to defend."

Ye Guogong frowned and said: "If my fourth uncle and I were in Jizhou, it would not be a problem to stay until the end of the year, but I'm not sure how long we can stay now."

"The imperial reinforcements..."

Li Xin only said four words in this sentence, and when he was about to continue, there was a sudden knock on the door outside the study.

"Grandpa, there are people coming from the palace!"

Ye Mao's expression changed slightly, but Li Xin's expression remained unchanged.

"It's here so soon."

He put down the teacup in his hand, and looked at Ye Mao with a smile.

"It seems that your house is not very clean."

Chapter 988

The families of important ministers in the capital generally have the eyes and ears of the court more or less, especially the group of people who live in Yonglefang. Almost every family has people from the Tianmu Supervisor watching. If the status is higher, it may be very difficult. It is an honor to invite you to settle in Plum Blossom Guard.

Back then, Li Chun, the young master of the Pingnanhou Mansion, died in his own home for no apparent reason.

However, under normal circumstances, even if there are eyes and ears of the imperial court at home, it will not be too crowded. After all, there may be hundreds of servants in Chen Guogong's mansion. Li Xin entered the mansion secretly through the back door for more than half an hour. There were very few people, but the people from the imperial court arrived so quickly, it was obvious that the imperial court's infiltration of Chen Guogong's mansion had reached a terrifying level.

Ye Mao's expression was a little unsightly, he glanced at Li Xin, and said silently: "Master, I can block it."

"You can't stop it."

Lord Jing'an squinted his eyes and said with a smile: "I've been a student for the past few years, I'm afraid I've been dreaming about me in my dreams. At this time, I'm in the jaws of a sheep, and he will turn against anyone who stands in his way."

Having said that, Li Xin stood up and stretched himself.

"If Master Ye is still there, he can block it for a while, but you can't."

He walked towards the door and said with a smile: "Besides, I took the initiative to come back to the capital just to meet him, and it's useless to hide."

Ye Mao remained silent, followed behind Li Xin, and sent Li Xin out the door.

At the main entrance of Chen Guogong's mansion, a big eunuch dressed in red was waiting with his hands down. When he saw Li Xin coming out, he cupped his hands at Li Xin and bowed his head respectfully: "Your maidservant, I have seen the Grand Tutor."

Li Xin glanced at Xiao Zheng with some surprise, and chuckled: "I thought the red clothes in the inner court had changed, but I didn't expect it to be worn by Eunuch Xiao. It's really rare."

Hearing this, Xiao Zheng looked at Li Xin thoughtfully, didn't say much, just bowed his head and said: "Your Majesty has been waiting for the Grand Tutor in Weiyang Palace for a long time, please come to the palace with the servants."

As he spoke, he stepped aside, and behind him, a big dark purple sedan chair was waiting for Li Xin.

"Of course I want to go."

Li Xin didn't say much, just bent over and walked in. Xiao Zheng looked at Li Xin with some admiration, and then said slowly: "Get up the sedan chair."

Ye Mao, who was standing at the gate of Chen Guogong's mansion, looked at the sedan chair gradually going away, first frowned slightly, and then said slowly: "Go...invite fourth uncle here."

………………

Chen Guogong's mansion is not far from the imperial palace. The sedan chair soon arrived at Yong'an Gate, then went straight from Yong'an Gate to Weiyang Palace, and finally stopped at the gate of Weiyang Palace. Xiao Zheng personally led the way, leading Li Xin all the way to the emperor's study. Then Xiao Zheng bent over and said respectfully: "Teacher, His Majesty is waiting for you inside."

Li Xin looked down at the blue cloth on his body, then smiled indifferently, and strode into the emperor's study.

The emperor's study room is not as big as outsiders imagined.

When there are 30 or [-] people standing, there will be no more standing. However, there is no need to stand many people in this place, and usually only five or six people will discuss matters here.

But sometimes, the things said at the court meeting are far less important than the things said in this small study.

The emperor was sitting on his own table, quietly watching Li Taifu who came in.

After Li Xin walked in, he looked left and right first, and found that there was no other palace man besides Xiao Zheng. He looked up at the emperor again, and asked, "Your Majesty, do you want to kneel down?"

At this time, the emperor was almost 20 years old, and he was no longer the helpless child he was back then. He was silent for a while, and then said, "If the teacher thinks it's not necessary, then don't use it."

"Then I won't kneel."

Li Xin's face was calm: "It has already become like this, and if you do those superficial things, everyone will be a little bit offended."

"I can't figure it out."

The Son of Heaven stood up from his chair, took a few steps in the study, and then slowly said, "Neither the late Emperor nor I treated the teacher well. Why must the teacher come to this point? I would rather go to the southwest. To be a traitor is also not willing to be a famous official in our Great Jin Dynasty through the ages!"

"It's useless to talk about right and wrong."

Li Xin looked left and right, then found a chair and sat down, said lightly: "Through these years, His Majesty and I are considered to be the people involved, we are in it, we have our own positions, we can't tell right from wrong .”

Having said that, he quietly glanced at the emperor.

"I didn't come to the capital to discuss right and wrong with His Majesty."

After all, the Son of Heaven was still young, and he was a little annoyed by Li Xin's words. He returned to his seat, gritted his teeth, and said, "Then why did Teacher come back to Beijing?"

"Would you like to try my sword's sharpness?"

"Your Majesty should know that I am a very cautious person. If I am not [-]% sure of everything, I will not do it, let alone involve myself in it."

Lord Jing'an grinned: "I came all the way from Jincheng to the capital. My horse is very good and it goes very fast."

The emperor frowned: "What do you mean?"

Lord Jing'an smiled: "What I mean is that I may arrive in the capital earlier than the information from Southwest."

"If there is no accident, fighting has already started on the southwest side. According to estimates, the imperial court still has 15 Ankang soldiers and horses in Hanzhong, which cannot surround the Southwest Army. At most three or four months, the Southwest Army can leave Shu from Hanzhong. Drive to the capital."
