Unparalleled Concubine

With a calm expression, Ye Lin nodded and said, "I can more or less guess something."

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, although my Ye family and Li Xin have an old relationship, the Ye family did not participate in the Southwest rebellion at all, and will not participate in the future. The Ye family did not know beforehand."

"Chen Guogong's mansion has been loyal and good for generations, neither I nor the late emperor have ever doubted this matter."

The emperor shook his head and sighed: "The problem now is how to solve the problem in the Southwest."

Ye Lin lowered his head slightly: "Your Majesty, there are only more than 10,000 anti-thieves in the southwest, and there are hundreds of thousands of forbidden troops in the capital of the Great Jin Dynasty. Standing in front of His Majesty to protect His Majesty, Your Majesty can rest easy."

"It took less than two months for the Southwest Army to advance from Hanzhong to Luzhou Prefecture."

Emperor Yuanzhao gritted his teeth and said, "So fast, maybe when I open my eyes tomorrow morning, someone will put a knife on my neck. How can I sit back and relax?"

Ye Lin lowered her head, silent.

"I am not afraid of death."

Emperor Yuanzhao was silent for a while, and continued: "If my death can stop fighting, I can go underground to meet the late emperor now."

His voice was a bit bitter: "But right now it is not my life or death alone, but the life and death of my Dajin Guozuo. It doesn't matter if I die, the world of my Ji family cannot fall into the hands of others."

Ye Lin bowed his head respectfully and did not speak.

The emperor is still talking to himself.

"I understand that Mr. Li must have been wronged in his heart these years. He has done so many things for me and the late emperor, and made so many contributions. No matter what, he should not have come to where he is today."

"It's me... narrow-minded."

To be honest, it is very difficult for an emperor to admit his mistakes. After all, the words of the emperor are the iron bars of the law and cannot be changed.

But now the situation is stronger than others. Faced with this situation, Emperor Yuanzhao still admitted that he was wrong.

But even so, he only said that he had a problem, and he didn't dare to say what was wrong with his father, Emperor Taikang.

He looked up at Ye Lin, and said, "Ye Qing, I hope you go out of Beijing to meet Master Li."

The emperor paused, and said: "Tell Master Li, he is my son-in-law of Dajin, and also my teacher, my uncle, we are all a family, there is nothing we cannot sit down and discuss."

"As long as he quells the war, he will still be our Grand Tutor of the Great Jin Dynasty, the Great General of the Zhu Kingdom, and I can seal the entire Southwest to the Jing'an Hou Mansion."

Speaking of this, he hesitated for a while, gritted his teeth and said: "If Master Li really dislikes me and thinks that my virtue is not good enough, I can also issue an edict to abdicate, and give this position to my sixth brother according to his wishes. ..."

"I have only one condition."

The emperor closed his eyes and said with some pain: "People on the throne can only have the surname Ji, not...the surname Li."

After Ye Lin finished listening, he stood up from the short pier, bowed to the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, the matter has not reached this point. I will leave the capital tomorrow to meet Li Xin and tell you what your majesty wants." , pass it on to him.”

The emperor nodded silently, and said: "Please tell Master Li, Ye Qing, no matter what conditions he has, I can talk to him. After the negotiation is completed, I can use my ancestors as guarantees. After this matter, there will never be any After the fall, things will happen."

The descendants of Zhuxia respect the heaven and the ancestors, and everything else is easy to say, but it is more ruthless to swear to the ancestors, let alone the ancestors of the royal family, the words of Emperor Yuanzhao have been extremely sincere.

Ye Lin bowed his head respectfully: "I will tell Li Xin all your majesty's wishes."

"The minister will try his best to persuade Li Xin to turn his back on it."

"That will be Ye Qing's hard work."

The emperor waved his hand wearily: "I'm a little tired today, Ye Qing remembers to take this matter to heart, and do it as soon as possible, if the matter is done, the Ye family will be of great merit."

Ye Lin got up, bowed his hands respectfully to the emperor: "I will do my best to persuade Li Chang'an to change his mind, abandon the darkness and turn to the light."

After finishing speaking, he bowed and exited Weiyang Palace.

The Son of Heaven has been watching Ye Lin leave. After Ye Lin walked away, the Son of Heaven's eyes suddenly became sharp, and he hissed somewhat sickly: "Xiao Zheng, Xiao Zheng!"

The chief eunuch, Xiao Zheng, trotted over immediately, knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "What orders does Your Majesty have?"

"Go and serve as a prisoner, go and serve as a prisoner!"

The young Emperor Yuanzhao felt a little hysterical at the moment, his voice was a little hoarse, and his tone was full of viciousness.

"Go and be the prisoner, and tell those craftsmen on my behalf."

"Within ten days, if there is no sky thunder that can be used on the battlefield, all of them...don't want to live!"

Xiao Zheng shuddered, immediately bowed his head and said, "Old slave, let's do it now."

Chapter 1063 Ten Li Shens

Although the Southwest Army has not yet reached the point where it can directly threaten the imperial court, everyone in the capital, even the ordinary people in Shengdou, can clearly feel the tremendous pressure brought by the Southwest Army to the imperial court.

The people of the Great Jin Dynasty, who used to be full of confidence in the imperial court, also began to sweat for the imperial court.

A few months ago, the imperial court posted a notice about the death of the sixth prince. At that time, most people in the capital did not doubt the authenticity of the notice, but now, many people in the capital have begun to doubt the sixth prince in the Southwest Army. It's really the sixth prince.

Of course, in this era, although public opinion is equally important, the speed of communication is relatively much slower, and it does not pose a threat to the imperial court for the time being.

Just when the imperial court rushed to help Luzhou with all its strength and fought bitterly with the Southwest Army, Ye Lin, Minister of the Ministry of War, led a dozen personal guards of Ningling Hou's mansion, holding the emperor's document, and left the city from the west gate of the capital, all the way towards Luzhou. go.

A group of more than a dozen people are fast horses, and they have the unfettered documents and seals of the Son of Heaven in their hands, so they can pass through unimpeded, so it only took four or five days for them to pass through Luzhou City and arrive at the camp of the Southwest Army. , Mu Ying, the vanguard general of the Southwest Army, came out to meet Ye Lin in person. After seeing Ye Lin, he stepped forward and cupped his hands, bowing slightly: "I have seen Fourth Master Ye."

Ye Lin frowned slightly.

Mu Ying didn't mention his official position, but referred to him as a senior member of the Ye family. The meaning was already obvious, that is, Southwest may still buy Ye family's account, but it will never buy the court's account again.

Ye Lin also cupped his hands to return the salute, and said, "General Mu, you are too polite. Ye Mou came here because he wanted to meet the Marquis of Jing'an."

"The general is not in our vanguard army, but in the central army."

Mu Ying said with a smile: "Fourth Master Ye is the senior brother of the General. If he wants to see the General, I naturally dare not stop him. So let someone take Fourth Master to see the General."

"However, I have a word to remind fourth master."

Having said that, Mu Ying paused, then looked up at Ye Lin, and said slowly: "The general often mentions fourth master, saying that you are a smart person, since you are a smart person, you should see the situation clearly. Fighting all the way to Luzhou, it's not that there are no dead people, and we are also dead. At this point, there is absolutely no possibility that the Southwest Army will retreat to the Southwest, even if the general is willing..."

Having said that, he didn't say any more, after all, if he continued, it would sound like a threat of self-respect.

Ye Lin looked at Mu Ying, then nodded silently: "Don't worry, General Mu, Ye Mou is nearly half a hundred years old, so naturally he won't be unreasonable."

Mu Ying smiled and nodded: "So, I'll send someone to send Fourth Master to see the general."

After finishing speaking, he clapped his hands and summoned a group of soldiers from the Southwest Army. After a few orders, the group led Ye Lin away. General, frowning slightly: "General Mu, my family?"

"I can only temporarily invite them to be guests in my camp."

People under the eaves can only do what Mu Ying says, Ye Lin frowned again, and finally sighed helplessly: "These are all parts of my Ye family, not from the court, please General Mu Don't fight."
