Unparalleled Concubine

Ye Cheng opened the wine seal and filled Li Xin, and at the same time smiled at Li Xin: "You don't have to drink at other times, but you must drink at this time."

Speaking of this, Old Man Ye was quite emotional.

"Youth pride is the happiest thing in life, how can you not drink?"

"When the old man was as old as you, he was still a Qiu Ba in the army, and he was with the rogues all day. He was fighting or making troubles on weekdays, or peeking at widows taking a bath. But at your age, you have to One step up to the sky."

Li Xin took the wine glass with both hands, lowered his eyebrows and said, "It's nothing special, it's just that I made the right bet, and it's just good luck."

"It's not a good thing to be too humble."

Ye Cheng smiled at Li Xin: "Young people need to show off a little bit, otherwise others will not know your strength and look down on you, and secondly, you will lose your vigor if you are too mature."

It is no exaggeration to say that Li Xin was the biggest contributor to the Seventh Prince's mutiny.

Whether it is Hou Jingde or Chen Guogong's mansion, they were all sewn on the Wei Wang's mansion through Li Xin's go-between.

Li Xin raised his wine glass and toasted Ye Cheng.

"Just now I heard from the young grandpa that the old grandpa guarded the Beixuan Gate for an entire hour single-handedly. This junior respects the old grandpa."

"Hold your ass!"

Ye Cheng lifted his head up and drank it all down, and said with a laugh: "I've lived such a long time, and there's nothing left, just this old face, it's okay to take it out once in a while, but it won't work if you use it too much. It works!"

This old man, thinks better than anyone else...

According to their seniority, the two are actually two generations behind, but Ye Cheng didn't care about it, and enjoyed drinking with Li Xin one cup at a time.

Li Xin couldn't drink this kind of strong alcohol, and his face turned red after a while.

The old man stretched out his hand and patted Li Xin's shoulder, he laughed and said, "Li Xin, are you married this year?"

"Not yet."

Old man Ye squinted his eyes and said with a smile: "This old man has a granddaughter, you have seen her before..."

Hearing this, Li Xin suddenly became sober from his half-drunkness, and he shook his head abruptly.

"My old man, don't try to harm me. It was agreed earlier that the granddaughter of the Ye family is going to marry the prince as a side concubine!"

Ye Cheng's expression was calm.

"What a fuss, the old man has more than one granddaughter, just find another one to marry the prince."

He looked up at Li Xin with a calm voice.

"The old man knows that you have some ambiguity with Princess Nine."

"But you have to think about it, my granddaughter of the Ye family is no worse than a princess. If you marry a princess, you will fall into a lot of frameworks in the future. It is difficult to escape from the royal family and marry my granddaughter of the Ye family." , from now on, you will be the uncle of the Ye family, no one dares to embarrass you in the court."

"As for the prince's side."

Ye Cheng narrowed his eyes and said, "If you nod your head today, the old man will be able to issue a marriage certificate tomorrow. Now that His Majesty is dead, although we can't get married, we can settle it."

"Even if His Highness finds out, he will be a little unhappy when the time comes, and he won't open his mouth."

Having said that, Ye Cheng looked up at Li Xin with a smile on his face.

"how do you feel?"

Chapter 324

At this time, no matter how extravagant what old man Ye said, he would definitely not agree.

Although he and Princess Ninth are not engaged, they have been together for a period of time. The Seventh Prince also knows about this. If Li Xin turns his back on the water at this time and marries the granddaughter of the Ye family, not to mention how sad Princess Ninth will be. How should His Royal Highness treat Li Xin?

In the future, Li Xin will become a dignitary in the new dynasty, and the Ye family will rise accordingly. The Ye family was originally the top general of the Jin Dynasty. If Li Xin and the Ye family get married, how will the Seventh Prince treat Li Xin after ascending the throne?

Li Xin shook his head again and again.

"Thank you, old man, for your love... Li Xin is ashamed."

"You are indeed a wise man."

Ye Cheng stood up, walked around Li Xin, and said with emotion: "At your age, few people can know how to advance and retreat. When the old man is at your age, I wish I could take everything in the world into my pocket. It wasn't until the age of forty that I slowly figured out the truth that the moon is full and it is bad, and you have already understood it."

Speaking of this, Ye Cheng said in a deep voice: "This time the crown prince was able to take the position, you have the most credit. But you have to grasp your position in the new dynasty, and don't keep this affection in your heart." heart."

These are all golden and good words, the truth that old man Ye spent his whole life honing in the officialdom. Li Xin quickly stood up, bent over to him and said, "Your junior has been educated."

Ye Cheng sat back on the stool again, took a sip from his wine glass, and then continued: "What's more, your Habayashi family started from you, and will grow stronger and stronger in the new dynasty. These people will become yours. In the future, you should make good use of your capital in the court, but not too much, otherwise it will arouse the suspicion of the emperor."

The so-called Habayashi family is still easy to understand.

This time, Habayashi made a great contribution. After the new emperor ascends the throne, as long as the living Habayashi will definitely be promoted to rank, at that time, the Habayashi who only has the fifth-rank yamen can't tolerate these people, and they will walk out of the Habayashi , Enter the various yamen of the court.

These people came out of the same yamen, and after entering the court hall, they would spontaneously form a group and take care of each other, becoming what Ye Cheng called "Habayashi guards".

And Li Xin is the natural leader of these people.

These things are things that will almost inevitably happen in the court in the future. Ye Cheng sees it far away, but Li Xin has not thought of it. He bent down to Ye Cheng again: "The old man's golden and jade words, this junior wrote down one by one. .”

"You sit down and talk."

Ye Cheng laughed and said, "There's no need to be so cautious, the old man comes from a military family, so he doesn't have so many rules to follow."

Li Xin sat down and nodded with a smile.

"The younger generation is from a farmer's family background, no wonder he chatted with the old man like this."

The wine glass in Ye Cheng's hand paused, he looked up at Li Xin, hesitated for a while, and finally spoke slowly.

"There is a sentence, I don't know if I should ask it."

"Old man, but he said so."

Ye Cheng knocked on the table with his hand, and finally said in a low voice: "You and Pingnanhoufu...?"

Li Xin took a sip of his wine first, then looked up at Ye Cheng, and smiled: "It's just strangers, there is still some hatred between each other, and we will have to stand on opposite sides in the future."

Old man Ye closed his eyes and thought for a while, then looked at Li Xin again.

"You have an enmity with Pingnanhou's Mansion, so the late Emperor wants to use you to deal with Pingnanhou's Mansion?"

Li Xin nodded: "Probably."

Ye Cheng stood up again, and after thinking for a long time, he finally turned his head and said to Li Xin: "You are a very good junior, the old man kept his words light and deep, and said some things that shouldn't be said."
