On the contrary, the fourth child of the Ye family, whether it is in personality or appearance, is [-] to [-]% similar to Ye Cheng.

Li Xin cupped his hands to Ye Lin, and said in a deep voice: "I came back yesterday, after resting all night, I came to talk to Senior Brother Ye."

Ye Lin stepped aside to get out of the way, and the two senior brothers walked into the Ninglinghou Mansion side by side.

When the Marquis' Mansion was opened, Li Xin had been there to celebrate it, so he was familiar with it. The two walked all the way to the backyard and sat down in a tea room.

It's not time to eat, Ye Lin poured a cup of tea for Li Xin, and sat down opposite Li Xin, he stroked his beard with one hand, and after drinking a cup of tea with the other hand, Looking up at Li Xin, he was quite emotional.

"Last month, I also corresponded with my elder brother, talking about Chang'an, and my elder brother said that you might stay in the southwest of Chang'an and never return to the capital."

Li Xin also put down his teacup, and said with a wry smile: "To tell you the truth, brother, I didn't plan to come back, but I received a private letter from the emperor... I went back to Beijing to have a look."

As he spoke, he looked up at Ye Lin.

"Brother, His Majesty's body...do you know?"

He only spoke half of it and didn't go on.

"know."

Ye Lin nodded and said: "Your Majesty hasn't been to court for several months. According to legend, the dragon's body is not healthy and has contracted a disease."

Speaking of this, Ye Lin frowned and said: "But what kind of disease can make Chang'an you... come back from the southwest?"

Li Xin didn't pick up the topic to continue, but asked, "I've been to the southwest for a few months, and I don't know any news about the north. How is Ye Mao doing at Jimen Pass?"

The tactics of the Zhenbei Army against Yuwen's tribes were personally determined by Li Xin when he was in Jizhou City, but later because of the incident in Hanzhou City, he was unable to implement it in person at Jimen Pass, but Ye Mao took over. His plan went ahead.

Now, more than half a year has passed, and Li Xin is also very concerned about the affairs in the north.

"Ye Mao played pretty well."

Ye Lin opened the mouth and said: "After the Yuwen Futu Department was destroyed, the Zhenbei Army and Yu Wenzhao's Department each occupied half of the Buddha Department's territory. After that, as Chang'an expected, Yu Wenzhao really repented and clashed with the Zhenbei Army many times. It is necessary to take away all the spheres of influence of the Buddha Department."

"The two sides fought a few battles, each winning and losing. Because the Zhenbei Army lacked cavalry, it was difficult to fight Yu Wenzhao in the grassland, so Ye Mao has led people back to Jimen Pass."

Having said that, Ye Lin paused.

"However, Yu Wenzhao also paid the price."

Li Xin pondered for a while, then continued to ask: "Is there any movement in Yunzhou City?"

"Have."

After Ye Lin took a sip of tea, he said in a deep voice: "The Zhong family fought with the Qigui department again, and many members of the Zhong family died, but the Qigui department was almost disabled, and it can be said that there are only two remaining in the fourth Yuwen department." department."

Lord Jing'an nodded.

"Sure enough, a breeder who has no military exploits for decades can't give up this opportunity."

The reason why the Zhong family and the Qigui Department fought so fiercely is largely because the actions of the Zhenbei Army gave them an opportunity. The Zhong family, which has been out of the limelight for decades, needs such a big victory. To restore their position as the number one general of the Jin Dynasty.

The two brothers chatted for a while about the situation in the north. After Ye Lin poured Li Xin a cup of tea, he suddenly glanced at Li Xin and asked.

"Changan, you suddenly returned to Beijing..."

"Is something going to happen in the capital?"

Chapter 815 The Fifth Son of the Ye Family

Facing Ye Lin's question, Li Xin nodded slowly after being silent for a while.

"Senior brother, there may be major changes in the capital this year. It is inconvenient for me to contact senior brother Ye Ming at this time, so I ask the Ye family to make some preparations."

Ye Lin looked serious.

He looked at Li Xin, and said in a deep voice, "What is the big deal that allows you to return to Beijing from the southwest at this time in Chang'an?"

Li Xin lowered his head and hesitated a little.

He looked up at Ye Lin, and let out a slow breath.

"Brother, does the Ye family have... the idea of ​​fighting for the reserve?"

At the beginning, Li Xin, Ye Lin, and Hou Jingde were three people who assisted the emperor to win the heir. Before the heir, the emperor promised the Ye family that he would marry a daughter of the Ye family as a noble concubine. Later, the emperor kept his promise and married Ye Ming's eldest daughter Ye Xuan as his concubine. , was conferred the title of Concubine De, the Empress Concubine De entered the palace in the third year of Taikang, and she gave birth to a son in the fourth year of Taikang, who was the fourth son of the emperor. Now the fourth prince is already seven years old.

If the emperor's true destiny is not long, then the situation in the capital today is very different from Chengde's 18 years ago ten years ago. During the Chengde period, all the princes had grown up and their talents showed. personal wishes.

It is also for this reason that the seizure of the heirloom ten years ago was extremely intense.

But at this time, Emperor Taikang is only 33 years old, and the prince of the Taikang Dynasty, His Royal Highness the eldest prince, is only thirteen or fourteen years old. There is still a long way to go before he becomes an adult. It is impossible to see clearly at this stage. A prince with outstanding talent, after all, all princes are still children, unable to show their talents.

So at this time, the power of the mother clan is extremely important.

If a prince's mother clan is strong enough, then even if he is relatively mediocre, with the help of his mother clan, he will be able to secure the throne in the future and will not lose power.

Of course, doing so also has the hidden danger of foreign relatives interfering in politics, but the new emperor and his foreign relatives are considered to be his own family, and after they become adults, they can slowly take back power no matter what.

The big deal is that when the time comes, just kill a few people.

Therefore, at this time, the power of the prince's mother clan is extremely important.

Among them, Concubine De from the Ye family and Concubine Shu from the Zhong family are considered powerful families.

Moreover, the families of the two empresses are all generals. The generals may take power, but they don't know how to interfere in politics. This can help the little emperor grow up very well.

After hearing Li Xin's words, Ye Lin's face changed suddenly.

Even a big man like him, who is used to the wind and rain in the capital, was scared to death by Li Xin's words.

He got up and looked around, and after confirming that no one was eavesdropping, he turned his head and gritted his teeth at Li Xin.

"Chang'an, what nonsense are you talking about?"

"I'm not talking nonsense."

Li Xin's expression was calm: "The concubine De in the palace is the daughter of senior brother Ye Ming, and also the niece of the senior brother. The concubine De concubine gave birth to the fourth prince. Although she is not a direct descendant, it is not impossible to compete for the heir."

"As long as the Ye family wants to participate, I will stand by the Ye family..."

Li Xin wanted to continue to say something, but Ye Lin interrupted him.

The Marquis of Ningling had an ugly expression on his face: "Your Majesty is in his prime, how can he talk about the fight for reserves? Chang'an, your words have been heard by people, not only your Li family, but also my Ye family." implicated!"

Li Xin was still sitting on the chair, reaching out his hand to refill Ye Lin with a cup of hot tea, with a calm expression on his face.

"Senior brother thinks, apart from this matter, what else can make me risk my life and money to return to Beijing at this time?"
