Chapter 142: Outer Circle and Inner Square
When General Ye heard this, his brows tightened, and he put down the teacup in his hand, his face solemn.
"At this point?"
"Here we are."
Li Xin bowed his head and said: "Senior brother should be in Ningling at this time to guard Master Ye's spirit, since this is the case, senior brother should not return to Beijing, senior brother should leave the capital as soon as possible, as if he has not returned, the Ye family can also be regarded as ignorant of this matter." ”
Ye Ming sighed slightly.
"But my brother already knows, how can I pretend not to know?"
The Marquis of Jing'an was silent.
Ye Ming took a sip of tea and asked slowly: "Cause and effect, tell me about my brother?" ”
Li Xin nodded, and spent most of the hour telling Ye Ming about this matter from beginning to end, and after Ye Ming listened quietly, he was silent for a while, and looked up at Li Xin.
"The Hanzhou Army in the southwest, what the hell is going on?"
Li Xin smiled helplessly: "When the western expedition was made, the senior brother was the commander, and he should know what the situation was at that time, if there were no 50,000 remnants of Nanshu to help, our army would have died at least 20,000 or 30,000 more, and the strength that could be won would naturally be fought for." ”
"As for the ...... later"
Li Xin took a deep breath, and then said: "The seed family has the Yunzhou Army, and the senior brother's family also has the Zhenbei Army as a support, and the younger brother's Jing'an Hou Mansion can barely be called a general, so he naturally has some military power in his hands. ”
"How can this be the same?"
Ye Ming said in a low voice: "Whether it is the Yunzhou Army or the Zhenbei Army, the soldiers are all the people of the Great Jin, in the final analysis, they are also the troops of the Great Jin, but those are the remnants of Southern Shu, and they are not the people of the Great Jin at their roots!" ”
Li Xin's face was calm.
"If there is no such thing, in a few decades, they will all be the people of the Great Jin."
Ye Ming didn't continue to ask further, he asked the second question.
"That thunder...... What is it? ”
Li Xin frowned, and then replied: "A sharp weapon to defend the city, when the younger brother was young, he read the Taoist books. ”
"Then it will be given to Your Majesty."
Ye Ming patted Li Xin on the shoulder: "At your age, you are already a very good minister, and the days ahead are still very long, there is no need to have a stiff fight with Your Majesty because of these trivial things, Your Majesty handed over to you on the side of the Zhenbei Army, and handed over to you for your brother, as long as you pacify the north again, with this military merit, the Son of Heaven will not dare to move you easily." ”
"Don't be too strong......"
Li Xin smiled and said: "It's not that I'm strong, the junior brother has already done what he can, and he doesn't intend to drag anyone down, the younger brother of the Ye family also wants to try to get rid of the relationship, even if he dies in the capital one day, he won't resent anyone." ”
Ye Ming frowned.
"Chang'an, my father said that you are a sleek person, you shouldn't be so paranoid."
Marquis Jing'an smiled slightly.
"Senior brother, the younger brother was poor and scared when he was a child, so he has been very fond of money all these years, probably because of this reason, he has gradually become a copper plate."
Ye Ming frowned and said, "What's the explanation?" ”
"It's round on the outside and square on the inside."
The smile on the face of the Marquis of Jing'an retracted, and he said with a serious face: "Senior brother, the junior brother is a cautious character, no matter what he does, he must have thought it out in advance, this matter The junior brother has considered the Ye family in advance, even if I die, as long as the Ye family does not participate, then the Ye family will certainly be affected, but with the presence of the Zhenbei Army, it will not shake the fundamentals." ”
"Besides, even if you wrestle with the Son of Heaven, the younger brother may not necessarily lose."
"What if you win?"
Ye Ming opened his mouth and said, "Can you be the son of heaven if you win?" The Great Jin Dynasty was founded for more than 100 years, and ushered in a prosperous era in nearly 40 years, at this time, the entire Great Jin Dynasty except for the southwest, the common people only recognize the heavenly family, you just win Your Majesty, and you can't win the hearts of the people, sooner or later it will be a defeat. ”
"Besides......"
Ye Ming said in a deep voice: "Besides, the imperial court is so huge, can you really win Your Majesty?" ”
Li Xin didn't speak, just stood up from the chair and gave Ye Ming a deep look.
"The love of the Ye family, the younger brother has always kept it in mind, but the younger brother has decided to let go of this matter, and the senior brother doesn't need to persuade him anymore."
"Senior brother came back from Ningling, since he hasn't alarmed outsiders, he immediately went out of the city and went back to Ningling, as if he had never returned to Beijing, as long as the senior brother didn't admit it, the Son of Heaven was happy to believe that the senior brother had 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, 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 really happens to you, the Ye family can ensure that your Li family's incense will be handed over."
After saying this, Ye Ming also got up from the chair and walked out with his hands in his hands.
"If you need help, just ask, the Ye family is only three generations, and it is not as greedy for life and afraid of death as other families."
Other thousand-year-old families, which can be inherited from ancient times, often have their own set of philosophies, such as seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages, casting a wide net and so on.
But the Ye family's "nouveau riche" is different, from Ye Sheng to Ye Mao, the three generations are still very hardworking, just take the Renchen Palace change back then, no one in the capital dared to storm the palace gate with Yu Linwei, but the Ye family dared, and did it hard.
Ye Ming's words before leaving, he had already made a very clear statement for the Ye family.
That is, if Li Xin needs the Ye family, the Ye family will once again use the family to bet!
This favor is a great favor, so big that Li Xin can't bear it.
If the Ye family really had an accident because of him, no matter where he was in the rest of his life, he would feel uneasy about his conscience.
Ye Ming left, and Li Xin personally sent him to the main gate, and respectfully saluted Ye Ming's back.
It wasn't until Ye Ming got into the carriage that Li Xin turned around and went back to the study in his courtyard.
In the study, the Marquis of Jing'an closed his eyes and seriously went through the ins and outs of what had happened in the past few months in his mind.
A person, events are arranged in his mind.
Ye Mao, Taikang Tianzi, Xiao Zheng, Mu Ying, Zhao Jia, Ye Lan, Ye Ming......
Dozens of names flashed in his mind, each with a dense thread on their body, representing their intricate relationships.
Closing his eyes and seriously considering the time of a pillar of incense or so, Li Xin opened his eyes, rubbed his somewhat swollen temples, and then got up and looked in the direction of the imperial city.
"I thought it was because I didn't know enough about your character, but I know enough......"
"What is it that makes you so weird?"
