Unparalleled Concubine

Seeing Li Xin coming, the old man put down the copper scissors in his hand, and said with a smile: "You came back overnight last night?"

Li Xin sat down and said angrily, "Master Ye sent someone to follow me?"

Ye Cheng scolded with a smile: "Where does this old man have the leisure to follow you? If something big happens in the capital, His Majesty must think of you immediately. When your subordinate Mu Ying came to see the old man last night, the old man guessed that you would I have to come back later this afternoon."

"Unexpectedly, you came back early in the morning."

Old Man Ye chuckled: "It seems that our Majesty is more dependent on you than I imagined."

"Not dependent."

Li Xin breathed out slowly: "Your Majesty, he was in the court in the early years, and his foundation is too shallow, so that there are not many people available under his hands now. After two or three years, the people in the court will surrender, and then I will be able to use it." There are very few places.”

Ye Cheng lowered his head and took a sip of tea, but didn't answer the words.

"What's going on with the Forbidden Army?"

"It's still relying on the people given by Master Ye. Now these eight people have entered various Zhechong mansions to serve as Captain Guoyi. After a while, each Zhechong mansion will exchange captains, and the disciples will be able to rely on these Guoyi commanders." Lieutenant, if you have a rough grasp of the main veins of the Forbidden Army, they will be less likely to find their way out."

Ye Cheng nodded: "This is indeed the fastest way to eliminate Pei Jin's influence."

The old man thought for a while, then lowered his eyebrows and said: "It's best to recruit some people among these Zhechong captains. It doesn't take too many, just one or two is fine, and for the others who are disobedient, find other Captain Guoyi to replace them." Get rid of them, so as long as you change two or three people a little, no one in the imperial army will not listen to you."

Li Xin touched his palm with emotion.

"Master Ye is brilliant."

Regarding these matters of marching and fighting, Li Xin is still much immature compared to Ye Cheng.

Ye Cheng scolded with a laugh.

"Don't flatter me. His Majesty should have asked you to find Li Shen. How do you plan to find him?"

Li Xin blinked.

"I don't need to look for it."

Old Man Ye frowned and said, "What do you mean?"

"Your Majesty asked me to look for it, but I refused."

Li Xin smiled and said, "Let Zhong Heng go about his work, they Qianniuwei made a mistake, what are you doing to disciple?"

Chapter 416 The Wisdom of Old Man Ye

"Li Shen is more imposing than his father."

Ye Cheng took a sip of tea and said with emotion: "His father Li Zhijie, when he was in the capital, did things with great trepidation and never dared to offend anyone. When he came here, he would set fire to Yongle Square immediately. Don’t dare to set fire like this.”

"It's an all-or-nothing game."

Li Xin took over the conversation with a calm voice: "Now that Nanjiang and the imperial court are irreconcilable, Li Shen naturally has to make a choice between the two. Since there is no way to get along, he will simply tear his skin apart."

Having said that, Li Xin paused.

"Furthermore, from the perspective of my disciples, the two generations of Pingnanhou in Pingnanhou's mansion are still more courageous than the old Marquis."

Having said that, Li Xin smiled and glanced at Old Man Ye.

"At least Master Ye didn't dare to support himself and claim the land as king."

"Fuck!"

Ye Cheng cursed.

"He, Li Zhijie, is much more timid than Lao Tzu. The Pingnan army he led at that time was all recruited in the southwest by himself. The troops I led to fight in the Northern Zhou Dynasty were all forbidden troops in the capital. Can they be compared?"

This old fellow was good friends with Li Zhijie, and they were somewhat dissatisfied with each other. The most taboo thing was that some people said that he was no match for Li Zhijie. After hearing Li Xin's words, Qiu Ba revealed his true nature and yelled at him.

"If I had an army with the surname Ye, now..."

Having said that, Old Man Ye looked around and didn't say any more.

However, the meaning of his words is still very obvious. If the Forbidden Army had followed the general's surname like the Pingnan Army, the current situation of the world should not be like this.

In fact, this is what old man Ye said. He fought against Beizhou for eight years, and he was the biggest person on the front line during the eight years. He would not have no cronies under his command. In addition, after defeating Beizhou, he took many prisoners. If he want to be emperor...

The chances are great.

However, the old man chose to return to the capital obediently in the end, not only because of the current situation, but more or less because he had a heart of loyalty to the emperor.

The concept of loyalty to the monarch is a bit incomprehensible in the face of the concept of the supremacy of interests in later generations, but in this era, it really exists in everyone's heart. Even Li Zhijie back then had the idea of ​​being loyal to the monarch and returning to Beijing.

Li Zhijie didn't come back because he was afraid of death.

Li Xin patted Old Man Ye on the back and said with a smile: "Master Ye, don't worry, the disciple said something wrong. You are the most courageous old man, okay?"

Old Man Ye snorted, and ignored Li Xin.

Li Xin smiled and poured him a cup of tea.

"Does Master Ye know Shanyin Xie clan?"

"know."

A disdainful smile appeared on Ye Cheng's face: "Isn't it the descendants? I haven't heard of any powerful people in this Xie family recently, but some time ago, several young people from the Xie family entered the capital, and I heard that one of them even went to Yulin Wei has a Zhonglang general, why do you ask this all of a sudden?"

"It's nothing."

Li Xin narrowed his eyes, and said calmly: "The Zhonglang general of the Xie family, the disciple met just now, is very incompetent. If all the young people of the Xie family have this kind of virtue, Master Ye should stay away from him in the future and don't follow him. What contact did they have?"

Ye Cheng became interested, and asked, "What kind of virtue?"

Li Xin thought about it.

"Probably about the same as the little grandpa."

Seeing Ye Sheng's uneasy expression, Li Xin quickly changed his words: "Compared to the young man, he is definitely inferior. At least the young man is much more sensible. This young man named Xie Jing is also at Li Chun's level."

Ye Cheng's face was not very good-looking, and he said: "Actually, Ye Mao is not as bad as you think, but the old man is a little worried that something will happen to him, and he has been bringing him around for so many years. He is not as smart as you, and many things need to be taught many times. , the old man doesn't have that much patience to teach him, so he seems a little straightforward now."

Having said that, Old Man Ye glanced at Li Xin.

"Take him with you when you do things in the future. You are much more patient than the old man. If you take him with you for a few years, he should be enlightened."

Li Xin nodded with a smile.

"Okay, if I have the opportunity to go to southern Xinjiang in the future, my disciple will bring the young master with me."
