Unparalleled Concubine

"Last night, I didn't close my eyes all night. I calculated in detail how far you are from the imperial court."

Ye Ming closed his eyes and said slowly: "In my opinion, although you have a lot of family property in the southwest, it is only the second Pingnanhou Mansion, which is worth half of the capital at best. Forbidden army, even if they can defend Shu County, they will not be able to get out of Jianmen Pass, so they won't be able to achieve great things."

"But this time, your army in the southwest easily defeated the Hanzhong army under the fourth brother. The fourth brother said in his letter that the one fighting the southwest army was the serious Forbidden Army, not the Hanzhong garrison. "

"For my brother, I will do the calculation in detail."

"The 31 prefectures in the southwest, based on the population of Taikang in the eighth year, have almost one million households. Adding those people in the mountains, there are probably eight or nine million people."

"Southwest no longer pays taxes to the imperial court, and has become its own country. With Zhao Jia helping you manage Southwest, it can raise more than 20 soldiers and horses. If it is forced to recruit troops, it can be even more."

"The sky thunder you made, the fourth letter also told me in detail in the letter. Although it can't kill people, it is very useful when charging into the formation. When the two armies are facing each other, as long as one of the formations breaks up, the other will immediately break up. Get the upper hand, even win big."

"I estimated that if your Southwest can produce more than 15 soldiers and horses, enough food and grass, and enough thunder, with only 15 people, it is possible to destroy the two battalions of the imperial guards in Gyeonggi."

"Besides, you are still the general of the right battalion of the Gyeonggi Forbidden Army. If you fight to the capital, you don't have to fight the right battalion to the end. As long as you win a few games, your old unit in the right battalion may follow you."

Li Xin blinked at Ye Ming, and said with a smile: "Brother forgot, there are not only imperial troops in the Jin Dynasty, but also frontier troops and garrisons from various places. If the Southwest really rebelled, they would come to the capital to serve the king, wouldn't it be the same?" A dead end."

"Just find any clan to be the banner, and you can let the garrisons everywhere watch the fire from the other side."

Ye Ming glanced at Li Xin lightly: "For example, the sixth prince you stayed at home for a day a few days ago."

Lord Jing'an smiled and asked, "Where's the army over there?"

"The Ye family is unlikely to be in a difficult situation with you in this kind of matter, so when Brother Wei made the calculation, he excluded the Zhenbei Army from it, and what was left was nothing more than [-] garrisons on the border of Tubo, and [-] troops from Yunzhou. Kind of family army."

"The garrison on the border of Tubo is not a big problem. As for the Zhong family army, as long as you contact Yu Wenzhao, you can easily hold them back and make them immobile."

Speaking of this, Ye Ming closed his eyes, and said slowly: "I lead troops is very different from my father's. Father leads soldiers pay attention to the word brave, but I like to deduce the situation of the battle. Last night I deduced the situation in the room." For a whole night, if the southwest rebels, the chances of winning are not low."

"At least [-]% to [-]% hope."

Speaking of this, Ye Ming opened his eyes, and said in a deep voice: "If the Ye family participates, go, there are [-] to [-]% or even higher certainty."

Taifu Li blinked his eyes and said with a smile: "The Ye family has a great career, and senior brother is cautious by nature, so he won't get involved in such a matter."

"But I won't live long."

General Ye sighed helplessly.

"I'm dead, that boy Ye Mao will definitely bring the Ye family to the end."

Chapter 943

Whether to rebel or not is a question that Li Xin has been thinking about in recent years.

With his knowledge of being ahead of the world for nearly a thousand years, and the wealth he has accumulated over the past ten years, if he wants to rebel wholeheartedly at this time, he actually has a great chance. With the southwest as the base, he will slowly break through the Jianmen Pass. In six years, if it doesn't go well, it will take ten to twenty years to slowly overthrow the Jin Dynasty.

When he first came to this world, he was far from thinking like he is now. At that time, he even wanted to find a way out for himself, and live comfortably with a little life.

Over the years, with the change of identity, his mind has also changed little by little. It was not until the beginning of this year, when he wrote to the emperor to abolish Zaifu, and the emperor shook his head and refused, that Li Xin finally understood the relationship between himself and the imperial power. It is impossible to alleviate the contradiction.

When he left the Southwest, he told Mu Ying that he would go to Beijing once and for all to resolve the conflict with the imperial court. At that time, he had already made up his mind to do what he should do.

Facing General Ye's question, Li Xin was silent for a while, and then let out a sigh of relief.

"Brother, what do I think I should do?"

"It's simple."

With both hands in his sleeves, Ye Ming said, "There are two roads in front of you. The first one is that you hand over Tianlei's prescription at this time, and then let go of things in the southwest. It's best Let the Southwest surrender to the imperial court, and you and the eldest princess will hide in the Jing'an Hou Mansion in the capital, like my father, and stay behind closed doors for decades."

"From then on, everything in the outside world has nothing to do with you. Whether it is the life or death of those in the Mu family in the southwest, or their life and death, you don't want to ask. You hide in the Hou's mansion, and you don't hear anything outside the window. You can enjoy peace with peace of mind."

This is actually what Chen Guogong Ye Sheng did back then.

At that time, he returned from the victory of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and the strong and suspicious Emperor Wu was still in power. In order to avoid disaster and ensure the safety of his brothers, Ye Cheng took the initiative to hand over all the military power in his hands, obediently hiding in his In Chen Guogong's mansion, although the name of the right governor of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion is hung, it is really rare to see people without leaving the gate.

Even when the old ministry that accompanied Ye Cheng to the north was suppressed and squeezed out by the court, he could only keep his ears shut and pretend he didn't know anything.

Li Xin's other teacher, Wang Zhong, is Ye Sheng Beizheng's old department. He entered Habayashi Guard as a captain, and he has worked in Habayashi Guard for 30 years, but he is still only a captain.

That's why during Old Man Ye's [-]th birthday banquet, Wang Zhong brought seventeen old brothers to Chen Guogong's mansion to see him. Old Man Ye was so happy, and he passed away within two days.

For decades, this Ye Shuai has been guilty in his heart. After that day, he felt that his old brothers still missed him and did not blame him, so he closed his eyes in peace.

After Ye Ming paused, he continued: "Just after doing this, no matter if your brothers in the southwest died, or if something happened to you and the eldest princess in the future, you can't blame anyone. After all, you chose the road yourself. .”

Li Xin grinned reluctantly.

"Is Master Ye's old department dead?"

"Dead."

"When my father handed over the military power, most of the old brothers who fought with him also handed over the power, and then became officials in the court. Ten years after the Northern Expedition, my father's fifteen generals rarely ended well."

General Ye sat down with no expression on his face: "My father Hou Yong, a pioneer in the battle, has made countless contributions. After returning to Beijing, he is only a marquis for life. His son Hou Jingde, at the age of 40, is only a general of Habayashi guard Zoro."

"The fourth child of my Ye family is only General Habayashi Weizhong."

"After the Northern Expedition, the Ye family and my father's old ministry were suppressed by two generations of emperors. That's why there is the Chen Guogong you see who has a great reputation and little power."

Speaking of this, he glanced at Li Xin, and said calmly: "If it weren't for you, Li Chang'an, the next generation of Hou Jingde's family would be in ruins, and most of them would be destined to work in the Habayashi Guard. How much better will it be, after me, Ye Mao may be able to become a noble, but it is absolutely impossible to become a general in the Northern Suppressing Army."

"The fourth child is estimated to be a fourth-rank and third-rank general for the rest of his life, and it will be almost the same for the next generation."

"It was you who suddenly broke into the chaos of the capital and disrupted all of this. You brought His Royal Highness King Wei back then and changed this situation. It was also your appearance that made father see some turning points."

Speaking of this, General Ye gave Li Xin a faint look.

"Otherwise, how could you, who was only sixteen or seventeen years old at that time, persuade my father to put the Ye family into that dangerous battle for succession, relying on your profound skills to match your sword?"

Ye Ming smiled disdainfully: "When Zhong Xuantong saw my old father, he also kowtowed."

In just a few words, Li Xin broke out in cold sweat.

The seizure of the heirloom more than ten years ago, I don’t remember very clearly until now. Li Xin only remembers that he was both right and left, and helped Wei Wang’s mansion get Hou Jingde and the Ye family’s two big arms, so as to help His Royal Highness Wei Wang in that battle. Become a dark horse in the chaos and stand out.

In the next few years, when Li Xin recalled the seizure of the throne, he couldn't help feeling a little complacent.

It wasn't until this time, after hearing Ye Ming's words, that he realized how lucky he was back then!

At that time, it was the Ye family, or the family of the Ye family that was suppressed to the extreme. If they did not take any action, they would lose their status as generals in the next generation, and then slowly disappear into the power core of the Great Jin Dynasty. .

But at this time, Li Xin brought His Royal Highness King Wei into the arena, just in time for his meeting to catch up.

Ever since, Old Man Ye bet his treasure on His Royal Highness the King of Wei, which led to the subsequent Renchen Palace Change, Conglong Sangong, and the re-emergence of the Ye family and the Hou family!
