Unparalleled Concubine

Having said that, Ye Cheng didn't continue talking.

After all, although Emperor Taikang is an emperor, he did not fall into the eyes of this old man. If it wasn't for the sake of future generations, Ye Cheng might not even be bothered to perfunctory.

The tea was almost finished, so Li Xin took the teapot down, ran to Old Man Ye's room, pulled out a chess set, and placed it in front of Old Man Ye.

"Master Ye, get up quickly and play two blows with your disciples."

Old man Ye was relaxing on the reclining chair. Hearing this, he opened his eyes and looked at it, and said with some disdain: "I won't play with you, you kid can only play those dirty tricks, it's not fun."

Because of their personalities, the chess styles of the master and the apprentice are very different. Ye Cheng's style of chess is straightforward, with a bit of fierce killing flavor, but Li Xin is relatively calm, that is to say. He prefers "operating".

So Ye Cheng doesn't like playing chess with him very much.

Of course, it's also because Old Man Ye doesn't win most of the time.

Li Xin patted the chessboard and said with a smile: "Get up quickly, the next two disciples are going back to eat."

Old man Ye was unmoved.

"I'm getting old, I need to play more chess, otherwise I'm prone to dementia..."

Still nothing.

In desperation, Lord Jing'an could only make a final concession.

"Come on, let me give you a car, okay?"

Only then did Old Man Ye lazily sit down from the recliner, and reluctantly sat opposite Li Xin.

There is a difference in chess strength between the two players, but the difference is not that big. Letting a big rook mean that Li Xin loses more and wins less.

"You said it yourself, but the old man didn't force you."

Li Xin didn't say a word, and gave the somewhat rogue old man a blank stare.

The chessboard was quickly set up, and Ye Cheng changed from his lazy appearance just now, and became extremely serious.

The chessboard is the battlefield, and on the battlefield, the old man has always been extremely serious.

The two were talking casually while playing chess.

Relying on the "many people and power", old man Ye replaced one of Li Xin's horses with a cannon, then stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Chang'an, I haven't seen you for more than a year, why are you so slow?"

Li Xin rolled his eyes again.

"Master Ye, although the injuries on Ye Ming's body look harmless, they still need to be recuperated at home, otherwise the root cause of the disease may fall back in the future."

"Don't worry, a doctor was invited to recuperate his body yesterday."

While strategizing on the chessboard, Ye Cheng said: "In recent years, you have settled down in the capital, no matter what, you have the credit for it. Recently, no one has dared to do anything to your family. After those two troubles, I also took advantage of this time to rest, no matter how you are still young, you can't be like an old man, busy all day in Vanity Fair."

Li Xin moved his remaining car, and then smiled with some unknown meaning: "It's easy to take a break for a few years now, but I'm afraid that after a few years, he will lose sight of Chaotang, maybe for some reason What, you lost your life."

"The old man is not dead yet."

Old man Ye spoke very domineeringly.

"The old man is not dead, who in the capital dares to touch my disciple?"

Li Xin smiled slightly.

"Then I wish you, the elderly, a hundred years of life."

Chapter 618 The first trouble

The Ye family is a towering tree, as Ye Cheng said, even if Li Xin does nothing in the next few years, with his relationship with the Ye family, with Ye Guogong standing on it, Li Xin can feel at ease Under the heart to enjoy the cool.

To be objective, the current Jing'an Hou Mansion is actually a big tree, but this big tree is rather deformed and not as healthy as the Ye family.

Theoretically speaking, the tree in the Jing'an Hou Mansion is not much shorter than the Ye family. After all, Li Xin has the bonus of the new dynasty and the relationship with the emperor. From this point of view, what he can do is even A little more than the Ye family.

Although the tree is tall, it is too slender.

Only Li Xin, with a sharp point like this, is propped up at the highest place. If there is a slight problem with him, this big tree will die suddenly, which is far less stable than the Ye family.

The current situation is that Li Xin can indeed keep a low profile for a few years as Ye Cheng said, whether it is to bury his head to have children, eat, drink and have fun, try to make himself not so conspicuous, but the problem is that Ye Cheng is already over 70 years old , If you elaborate, he is 76 years old this year.

No one knows how long Ye Cheng can live. If Li Xin does not have his own connections in the court, he will be at the mercy of others once Ye Cheng leaves.

After staying at Ye's house for a whole afternoon, Li Xin got up to leave. Ye Cheng wanted to keep him for dinner. Li Xin said with a smile: "Master Ye, there are two troubles in the disciple's family that need to be dealt with. Wait for these two troubles to come." After cleaning up, come to Ye's house to greet Master Ye."

"And at this time, there should be many people watching the disciple's movements. The disciple has stayed in the Ye family for a long time, and it is not very good for the Ye family."

After he returned to the capital, although he looked calm and the imperial court's rewards had not yet come down, he did not know how many pairs of eyes were looking at him behind his back, and the widest eye was the current Taikang. emperor.

The old man Ye thought about the meaning of Li Xin's words, and then nodded slightly: "That's all right, your mind is calm, you don't need to explain some things, you can just figure it out."

Ye Cheng sent Li Xin to the gate of the yard, then reached out and patted him on the shoulder.

"Boy, the higher you stand, the more careful you are. You are proud of your youth. The next thing is to find a way to live longer. It is best to live to the age of this old man."

Li Xin bowed deeply to Ye Cheng.

"Master Ye's instructions, disciples will keep them in mind."

When Lord Jing'an got up again, he smiled slightly at Old Man Ye: "I have another suggestion for the teacher. If the teacher is free, you might as well write a letter to Senior Brother Xiaoye so that he can celebrate the New Year this year. Come back to the capital and take a look."

Brother Xiao Ye is Ye Lin, the youngest son of Old Man Ye, Li Xin's former immediate boss.

The 18th year of Chengde was the year of Renchen, so what happened that winter was also called the Renchen Palace Change.

After the Renchen Palace Change, Ye Lin was granted the title of Marquis of Ningling, and was sent to Jimen Pass to assist his elder brother Ye Ming to guard Jimen Pass. After Ye Ming was transferred back to the capital, Ye Lin should now be in charge of Jimen Pass. .

The meaning of Li Xin's words was to ask Ye Cheng to write a letter to call Ye Lin back to the capital from the north.

One is that Ye Lin has not returned to Beijing for three years, and he really needs to come back to take a look. Second, when he came to the court...or that Emperor Taikang, he was obviously a little jealous of the Ye family. Leave the capital at one o'clock.

Ye Cheng glanced at Li Xin, and asked, "Chang'an..."

Li Xin lowered his brows and said, "Senior Brother Xiao Ye has returned to Beijing, so Senior Brother Ye has a reason to leave the capital as soon as possible."

"That's all the disciple said..."

........................

After returning to the Marquis of Jing'an, it was almost dark, the eldest princess welcomed Li Xin in, and asked, "Why did you come back so late, have you eaten yet?"

Li Xin shook his head and said with a smile: "I haven't eaten yet, I rushed home to eat with His Highness."
