Unparalleled Concubine

Li Xin frowned, and then replied: "A sharp weapon for defending the city. When I was young, I read Taoist scriptures."

"Then leave it to His Majesty."

Ye Ming patted Li Xin on the shoulder: "At your age, you are already an extremely human minister, and the days to come are still very long. There is no need to get into trouble with His Majesty just because of these trivial matters. I gave it to you, and my brother also gave it to you, as long as you calm down the north again, with this military merit, the emperor will not dare to touch you easily."

"Don't be too pushy..."

Li Xin smiled and said, "It's not about trying to be brave. The younger brother has done what he can, and he doesn't intend to drag anyone down. The younger brother of the Ye family also wants to keep the relationship as clear as possible. Even if he dies in the capital one day, he will not hold grudges against anyone."

Ye Ming frowned.

"Chang'an, father said that you are a smooth person, you shouldn't be so paranoid."

Lord Jing'an smiled slightly.

"Senior Brother, I was afraid of being poor when I was young, so I have always loved money all these years. It may be because of this reason that I have gradually become like a copper coin."

Ye Ming frowned and said, "Why?"

"It has become round on the outside and square on the inside."

The smile on Jing'an Houye's face faded, and he said with a serious face: "Senior brother, my younger brother is a cautious person. No matter what you do, you must have thought it through in advance. This matter has been considered by the Ye family in advance. Even if I die, as long as the Ye family doesn't get involved, the Ye family will certainly be affected, but with the Northern Suppressing Army, it won't be shaken."

"Besides, even if it's an arm wrestling with the emperor, my younger brother may not necessarily lose."

"So what if you win?"

Ye Ming said: "If you win, can you be the emperor? The Jin Dynasty has been in existence for more than a hundred years, and it will usher in a prosperous age in the next 40 years. At this time, the entire Jin Dynasty except the southwest, and the common people only recognize the family of heaven. You have won your majesty." , and won’t win the hearts of the people, sooner or later it will end in defeat.”

"Besides..."

Ye Ming said in a deep voice: "Besides, the court is so huge, can you really beat His Majesty?"

Li Xin didn't speak, just stood up from the chair, and gave Ye Ming a deep bow.

"My brother has always kept the Ye family's affection in my heart, but I have already decided to let go of this matter, so I don't need to persuade my brother anymore."

"Senior brother came back from Ningling. Since the outsiders have not been alarmed, he immediately left the city and returned to Ningling, as if he had never been back to Beijing. As long as the senior brother does not admit it, the emperor is willing to believe that the senior brother has never returned."

"As for the affairs of the Marquis of Jing'an, senior brother should not interfere."

Ye Ming was silent for a long time, and finally stood up from the chair. He looked at Li Xin and sighed helplessly.

"Your family, are you out of town at this time?"

Li Xin nodded slightly.

"If they are in danger, send someone to deliver a letter to brother Wei. Even if something happens to you, the Ye family will guarantee that the incense of the Li family will be passed on."

After saying this, Ye Ming also got up from the chair and walked out with his hands behind his back.

"It's easy to ask if you need help. The Ye family has only three generations, and they are not as greedy as other families who are afraid of death."

Other thousand-year-old aristocratic families, which can be passed down from ancient times, often have their own set of philosophies, such as seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages, casting a wide net, etc. If they encounter disasters, they will definitely stay away.

But the "upstarts" like the Ye family are different. From Ye Cheng to Ye Mao, the three generations are still very hardworking. Take the Renchen Palace Change as an example, no general in the capital would dare Together with Habayashi guards to attack the palace gate, only the Ye family dared to do it abruptly.

Ye Ming's words before he left had already clearly expressed the Ye family's position.

That is, if Li Xin needs the Ye family, the Ye family will bet on the family again!

This kind of favor is a huge favor, so big that even Li Xin dare not bear it.

If something happened to the Ye family because of him, no matter where he was for the rest of his life, he would feel uneasy conscience.

Ye Ming left, Li Xin personally sent him to the main gate, and saluted Ye Ming's back respectfully.

It wasn't until Ye Ming got into the carriage that Li Xin turned and went back to his study in his yard.

In the study, the Jing'an Hou Fu closed his eyes, and carefully went through the ins and outs of what happened in the past few months in his mind.

A person, events lined up in his mind.

Ye Mao, Emperor Taikang, Xiao Zheng, Mu Ying, Zhao Jia, Ye Lin, Ye Ming...

Dozens of names flashed in his mind, and each of them was tied with dense threads, representing their intricate relationship.

After closing his eyes and thinking carefully about a stick of incense, Li Xin opened his eyes, rubbed his swollen temples, then stood up and looked in the direction of the imperial city.

"In the past, I thought that the reason why things turned out like this was because I didn't know enough about your character, but I know enough already..."

"What happened to make you so weird?"

Chapter 784 Mr. Zhao and General Mu

The capital is still singing and dancing, and the events of the Marquis of Jing’an have not affected the people in the capital to celebrate the New Year. What happened in the southwest has not been made public in the capital. Just when the people in the imperial capital are still happily celebrating the New Year, the southern border has already Change.

The Hanzhou Army wants to control the southwest, so as the hinterland of the southwest and the core of the Southwest, Jincheng bears the brunt of the impact of the Hanzhou Army. The last time Pei Jin attacked the city, part of the troops he brought were the garrison of Jincheng. The city garrison suffered heavy casualties, and it was impossible to be the opponent of the Hanzhou Army.

Originally, they could still rely on Jincheng's fortified city to garrison, but it is a pity that with such an unreasonable thing as Tianlei, Jincheng's city gate is useless, but Mu Ying led people to use Tianlei to blow it open, and then they were very strong. rushed in.

By the tenth day of the Lunar New Year, the Hanzhou army had fully occupied Jincheng. General Mu led his father from Hanzhou to enter Jincheng. When walking on the main road of Jincheng, Mu Ying smiled at her father, Mu Qing. He said, "How does it feel when my father returns to his hometown?"

When Chenghan was still in existence, Jincheng was the capital of Chenghan, and it was called Handu at that time. As the core of Chenghan, the Mu family naturally lived in Jincheng. When the family escaped from Jincheng, Mu Qing was still a teenager. In the blink of an eye, more than 40 years later, Mu Qing has grown into an old man with gray beard and hair.

Walking on the main road of Jincheng, the old man looked around from time to time, and then sighed slowly: "It's been more than 40 years since I came back, and I don't even know Handu."

Having said that, he shook his head.

"It's a pity that Mr. Li Fu is no longer here. Otherwise, if you support him and come out, Cheng Han will really return to the country."

Li Fu was Li Xing's younger brother, who was forcibly sent by Li Xing to the capital to assassinate the emperor. In the end, he failed and fled to Datongfang, where he was killed by Li Xin himself.

Today's Mu Ying is not considered a Chenghan, and basically has no feelings for his homeland, but Mu Qing grew up in Handu, and he more or less wants to really rebuild Chenghan.

It is to tear off Li Xin's control and truly restore Cheng Han back then.

Mu Ying supported her father and shook her head slightly: "Father, what kind of virtues are Li Xing and Li Fu brothers? The bones will be eroded to dust, and it is impossible to restore the old appearance."

General Mu was outspoken.

"Cheng Han has passed."

Mu Qing frowned slightly, but still sighed: "I know this for my father, I just sighed a little about my homeland. Now the world is the world of your generation and Master Li, so I don't participate for my father."

As he spoke, the old man walked towards the former General Pingnan's Mansion, which was also the ancestral house of the Mu family, with his hands behind his back. Mu Ying shook her head, and turned her head to look at the former Chenghan Palace.

This Chenghan Palace has not been inhabited for more than 40 years. The former deposed prince Ji Ku lived there for more than a year, and then the palace was locked again.
