Chapter 331: Old Man Ye
The heirs of the Son of Heaven in Chengde are prosperous, a total of eleven sons and nine daughters, except for the nine princesses, the others have been married, three of these princesses are married to other places, five are still near the capital, and the next day, the five princesses have rushed to the palace, kneeling in front of the spirit of the Son of Heaven and crying.
At this time, Li Xin also led the ninth princess into the palace, and Her Royal Highness the princess, who had not yet left the cabinet, also knelt under the heads of several sisters and cried into tears.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was still standing in front of the coffin, filling the brazier with paper money one by one.
He described it as a little withered, and it looked like he hadn't slept for a day and a night.
Li Xin frowned slightly, slowly walked behind His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, also knelt on the ground, and said in a low voice, "Your Highness didn't rest last night"
The prince glanced back at Li Xin, and then sighed slightly.
"I feel a little uneasy in my heart, and I want to say something to my father."
It stands to reason that although the crown prince should keep the spirit, it is just a formality, and some princes will even appoint someone to keep the spirit in his place, and the seventh prince stayed in front of the coffin of the emperor of Chengde last night and did not go anywhere.
In this palace change, the Seventh Prince is undoubtedly the biggest winner, but he has filial piety, so he can't be at ease.
If it were the fourth prince, there would be no such troubles.
Li Xin shook his head slowly, "Your Highness should pay attention to your body, it will be a big day in two days." ”
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince nodded and said, "I know." ”
At this time, after a day's time, order had been restored in the palace, and the bloodstains left by the palace change had disappeared, as if they had never appeared.
After Li Xin said a few words to the crown prince, he got up and left the mourning hall, he was just a foreign minister, and it was not suitable to stay here for too long.
The court was busy.
Li Xin looked at the sky, said hello to the ninth princess, and left the palace, carried two jars of spirits, and walked towards the Chen Guogong Mansion.
Chen Guogong's mansion is in Yongle Fang, not very far from the palace, and before noon, Li Xin arrived at Ye's house.
This time, he didn't have to go through the back door.
The little grandfather Ye Mao came out in person and welcomed Li Xin in.
This little grandfather was dressed in filial piety clothes, and his eyes when he looked at Li Xin were full of resentment.
"Brother Li, you are too boring, you go to do big things with the fourth uncle, and you don't call me"
Li Xin glanced at Ye Mao with a smile.
"Little grandfather, this kind of thing can't be called to you, if you are called, your old man will not allow us to do it."
Ye Mao said angrily, "His old man is a knife-mouthed tofu heart, when you did it that day, he personally went to the North Xuanmen and helped you stop the Xuantong, otherwise it is unknown what the outcome of the day will be." ”
Li was moved.
He really didn't know about it.
No wonder Tianzhong Xuantong came so slowly, and he didn't arrive in the palace until the middle of the day, and it turned out that this old man Ye came forward in person.
Ye Sheng came forward in person, which is very different from the meaning of Ye Lan coming forward alone, Ye Sheng participated, even if he lost, the Ye family could save a part, but Ye Sheng came forward in person, which was equivalent to bringing the Ye family stud in.
Thinking of this, Li Xin began to admire the courage of this Ye Guogong.
These generals who came down from the battlefield are really bold
He took a deep breath and smiled at Ye Mao, "Please let the little grandfather lead the way, and I'll go see Grandpa Ye." ”
In Ye Sheng's small courtyard, Li Xin met Old Man Ye, who looked very inconspicuous at first glance.
The old man was holding a pair of copper scissors that had already been rusted and was trimming the flowers and plants in the yard.
Li Xin put the liquor in his hand under the gazebo in the courtyard, then walked in front of Ye Sheng, bent over and clenched his fists, "The younger generation has seen the old man." ”
Ye Sheng glanced back at Li Xin, then put down the scissors in his hand, and said lightly, "You're here." ”
"Yes, I'm here to bring wine to my husband."
In fact, Li Xin came over this time, and Ye Xuan asked him to come over, but in front of Old Man Ye, it was not good to say that.
Ye Sheng nodded and glared back at his grandson.
"Get out, adults talk, kids come in and do what"
Ye Mao's eyes widened.
I'm afraid the old man is not old and confused, I am a few years older than Li Xin, okay?
Ye Mao is twenty-two years old this year, four years older than Li Xin.
Li Xin lowered his head and smiled bitterly, "Old man, the younger generation is a few years younger than the little grandfather." ”
Ye Sheng said coldly, "He can only fight eagles and dogs, and with half of your ability, the old man can also close his eyes with peace of mind." ”
Ye Mao's face turned red with anger, Li Xin pulled him aside, and said in a low voice, "Little Grandpa, don't be angry, I have something to talk about with Grandpa Ye"
Ye Mao turned his head and went out in a huff.
Old man Ye didn't care, turned his head and took out two wine glasses from his room, put them under the pavilion, and stretched out his hand to beckon Li Xin.
"Come here, have a few drinks with the old man."
When Li Xin heard this, he sat opposite Ye Sheng in a proper manner, then glanced at the two jars of wine he had brought over, and said with a wry smile, "Old man, the younger generation is not good at drinking." ”
Ye Sheng opened the wine seal and poured it for Li Xin, and smiled at Li Xin, "You can stop drinking at other times, you must drink at this time." ”
Speaking of this, Old Man Ye was quite emotional.
"Being proud as a teenager is the happiest thing in life, how can you not drink"
"When the old man was as old as you, he was still a hill in the army, and he was in the company of splashes all day long, and he either fought or made trouble on weekdays, or he went to peek at the widow taking a bath, and at this age, you are going to climb to the sky in one step."
Li Xin took the wine glass with both hands, lowered his eyebrows and said, "It's not a good thing, it's just that I made the right bet and was lucky." ”
"It's not a good thing to be too humble."
Ye Sheng smiled at Li Xin, "Young people should be more public, otherwise others will not know how powerful you are and will look down on you, and secondly, if you are too old, you will lose your sharpness." ”
It is no exaggeration to say that Li Xin was the greatest contributor to the mutiny of the Seven Princes.
Whether it is Hou Jingde or Chen Guogong's Mansion, it was through Li Xin's needle threading that it was sewn on the top of the Wei Palace.
Li Xin raised his glass and toasted Ye Sheng.
"I just heard what the little grandfather said, the old man single-handedly guarded the North Xuanmen for a whole hour, and the younger generation toasted the old man with a cup."
"Hold on to a fart"
Ye Sheng raised his head heroically and drank it all, and said with a smile, "After living for such a long time, there is nothing left, just this old face, it is okay to take it out and use it occasionally, but it is not good to use it too much."
This old man thinks better than anyone else
According to the generation, the two of them are actually two generations apart, but Ye Sheng doesn't care about this, and he is very happy to drink with Li Xin one by one.
Li Xin couldn't drink this kind of high-alcohol spirit, and his face turned red after a while.
The old man reached out and patted Li Xin's shoulder, and said with a smile, "Li Xin, you are not married this year."
"Not yet."
Old man Ye squinted his eyes and said with a smile, "The old man has a granddaughter, you have seen it"
When Li Xin heard this, his half-drunk drunken spirit suddenly sobered up, and he shook his head suddenly.
"Don't hurt me, old man, I said before, the granddaughter of the Ye family is going to marry the prince as a side concubine"
Ye Sheng's face was calm.
"It's a fuss, the old man has more than one granddaughter, just find another one to marry the prince."
He looked up at Li Xin, his voice calm.
"The old man knows that you have some ambiguity with the Ninth Princess."
"But you have to think about it clearly, my Ye family's granddaughter is no worse than the princess, if you marry the princess, you will fall into a heavy framework in the future, and it will be difficult to break out of the royal family, and if you marry the granddaughter of my Ye family, you will be the uncle of the Ye family in the future, and no one will dare to embarrass you in the court."
"As for the prince's side."
Ye Sheng squinted his eyes and said, "You nod today, tomorrow the old man can make a marriage letter, and now that His Majesty has died, although he can't get married, he can settle down." ”
"At that time, even if His Highness knows about it, he will be a little unhappy, and he will not open his mouth openly."
Speaking of this, Ye Sheng looked up at Li Xin with a smile on his face.
"What do you think?"
Unequaled concubines
