Chapter 55: Lao Tzu is missing!
Li Xin's words are not exaggerated at all, in fact, the original Northern Expeditionary Army conquered far more than half of the territory of the Great Jin, because the territory of the original Northern Zhou Dynasty was much larger than that of the Jin State.
That's most of the Great Jin.
Taikang Tianzi, who didn't know when he arrived here, was wearing a purple robe, and Xiao Zheng behind him also changed into civilian clothes and bowed down to follow him.
The emperor will come, it is not a surprise, in fact, when Old Man Ye is sick, the emperor should come to visit, today is Old Man Ye's birthday, as a "junior" Taikang Tianzi, it is reasonable to come to wish him a birthday.
However, after all, the emperor is respectful, and according to the normal process, he usually sends the prince over to congratulate the old man on his birthday, but now he is here in person, which can be regarded as giving Ye Sheng enough face.
After hearing Li Xin's words, the Son of Heaven was silent for a while and sighed slightly.
"Yes, these people have indeed laid down half of the Great Jin."
The Son of Heaven looked at the direction in which Ye Sheng and the others left, and sighed: "I remember that when I was a teenager, I once came to Chen Guogong's mansion to pay homage to my old man's birthday. ”
"Today's Ye Guogong can't stand steadily."
This sentence is pure superficial effort.
The emperors of the Ji family may indeed have great respect for Ye Sheng, but they all want Ye Sheng to die early, from Emperor Wu, to Chengde Tianzi, to Taikang Tianzi, all of them have this idea.
Especially Taikang Tianzi, the experience is deeper.
When the Renchen Palace changed, Li Xin took Yu Linwei into the palace, and almost fell short because of the forbidden army that entered the city, at that time, it was this Ye Guogong alone, with a big gun, who forcibly stopped the 10,000 forbidden troops brought by Xuantong!
Until now, when the Son of Heaven thinks about this, his back is still a little cold.
What a prestige!
If this old man leads people into the palace, those guards in the palace may not dare to fight back!
After hearing this, the Marquis of Jing'an did not respond to anything, but quietly turned around, bowed to the Son of Heaven, and then said, "Your Majesty is here to congratulate the teacher on his birthday?" ”
The Son of Heaven nodded, and said with a smile: "It's time to come and celebrate the old man's birthday, but it's not good to make a big show, so I put on ordinary clothes, I wanted to go in and give the old man a junior ceremony and leave, look at this look......"
The Son of Heaven looked at the direction in which Ye Sheng and the others left, and said with a wry smile: "I'm afraid there is no chance for me to enter." ”
When Old Man Ye met with the seventeen old brothers, most of them would hide in his small courtyard and drink, and would not see outsiders again.
Li Xin bowed slightly, and said: "The teacher can be seen by anyone, but since Your Majesty is here, there is no reason not to see it, Your Majesty will come with your ministers." ”
As he spoke, Li Xin led the way in front.
He gave Chen Sixteen a look, Chen Sixteen was very sensible, and immediately entered the Chen Guogong Mansion first, and after he entered, Li Xincai took the Taikang Tianzi and entered the Chen Guogong Mansion.
Today's Guogong Mansion is much more lively than usual, the front yard is full of people, and most of the people who are qualified to come here have seen the Son of Heaven, but since the Son of Heaven has changed his clothes, he just doesn't want to cause too much of a sensation, so Li Xin took him to the path and entered the backyard of Chen Guogong's Mansion.
The Son of Heaven walked on the secluded path, glanced at Li Xin in surprise, and said with a smile: "Chang'an, you are very familiar with this Chen Guogong Mansion. ”
"There's no way, come here often."
Li Xin was half a position behind the Son of Heaven, and said with a smile: "The minister is a young man, and many places in the court are ignorant, so he can only walk around here in Ye Shi often. ”
The Son of Heaven smiled noncommittally.
The two of them walked forward for a while, and then entered the backyard of Chen Guogong's mansion, because Chen Sixteen came in to report that the old four Ye Lan of the Ye family had been waiting here, and after seeing the Son of Heaven, Ye Lan simply knelt on the ground, kowtowed, and said: "Your Majesty is coming, and the minister is guilty of being unwelcome, please surrender Your Majesty." ”
The Son of Heaven stepped forward, stretched out his hand to help Ye Lan up, and said with a smile: "Since the founding of the country, I have not been guilty of the crime of losing favor, and besides, I changed my clothes myself, just to pay a birthday to the old man, Ye Qing should not be polite." ”
Ye Lan stood up, bowed and said, "Your Majesty, my father is receiving the old man in the courtyard, and Rong Chen is going to say hello." ”
The Son of Heaven waved his hand: "I also saw the scene of the old man meeting with a few old soldiers at the door, they are all heroes of my Great Jin, if it is inconvenient, Ye Qing can bring my meaning to the old man." ”
Speaking of this, the Son of Heaven smiled and said, "By the way, I have prepared a birthday gift for my husband, and Xiao Zheng will send it over later." ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Ye Luan spoke in a respectful tone and said: "Your Majesty is here, no matter what my father is doing, there is no reason not to see it, so the minister will go and say hello." ”
Saying that, the three of them walked towards Old Man Ye's small courtyard together, and after walking to the gate of the courtyard, Ye Lan first saluted the Son of Heaven, then knocked on the door, pushed the door and walked in.
In less than ten breaths, Ye Lan walked out of the courtyard in embarrassment, and accompanied him out, there were three words "get out".
"Before the minister could say anything, he was kicked out, not because my father deliberately despised ......"
After Ye Xuan came out, he hurriedly explained to the Son of Heaven.
The Marquis of Jing'an stepped forward helplessly and said to Ye Lan: "Senior Brother Ye, let the junior brother give it a try?" ”
Ye Lan glanced at the Son of Heaven cautiously, bowed down and hugged his fists: "There is Lao Chang'an." ”
Li Xin took a deep breath, stepped forward and slowly pushed open the courtyard door, and then walked in with light steps.
On the flat ground in the courtyard, eighteen old men sat in a circle, each of them defeated a large bowl in front of them, and the old men were all full of red light, all shouting loudly, how many Xianbei barbarians they had killed when they went on a northern expedition forty years ago.
Among them, the old man Ye, who was already weak, had the loudest voice.
The old man was in a very good spirit today, he raised his head and drank a bowl of wine, scolded and shouted at Wang Zhong: "You kill seventy-one is a beg, Lao Tzu used to rush into battle dozens of times, which one did not kill dozens of them!" ”
Wang Zhong, who never admits defeat, drank a bowl of wine convincingly and confessed.
"You naturally can't compare with Ye Shuai..."
Old man Ye was even happier than winning Wang Zhong, and rewarded himself with a bowl of wine.
Li Xin stood not far away, seeing this scene in his eyes, and his heart was a little more worried.
The old man was already in poor health, but today he is so excited and drinks a lot, I am afraid that he will ......
He glanced at Ye Sheng not far away, the divine doctor Qin Yuanhua was already carrying the medicine box and waiting.
Marquis Jing'an sighed helplessly, walked behind Old Man Ye, squatted down, and said softly, "Master Ye, someone is outside to see you." ”
Old man Ye's face was full of red light, he turned his head and glared at Li Xin, and scolded: "No, no, no, Lao Tzu is drinking with his brothers and brothers, and no one is there!" ”
Li Xin blinked his eyes and said helplessly: "That person is here in person, you have to see it." ”
"Lao Tzu knows who it is!"
Old man Ye glanced around at the old brothers around him, and suddenly became arrogant, and shouted: "People from the Ji family, Lao Tzu is gone!" ”
"Lao Tzu has been angry with their family for forty years, and he still doesn't let him be clean and clean after drinking a drink?"
