Chapter 64: I Can Do It Myself!

The people of the entire capital, with mixed feelings, sent away this general with the highest prestige for hundreds of years.

In fact, forty years ago, Ye Sheng was not a standout, and Li Zhijie, the Marquis of Pingnan, was also very remarkable, just because the national strength of the Jin State at that time was already better than that of Nanshu, and the defeat of Shu was to defeat the weak with the strong, and in comparison, it was far less conspicuous than Ye Guogong's victory over the strong with the weak.

This is the first time that the imperial court has ordered the whole white flag in the capital to bid farewell to anyone, and even after the imperial court stipulated that three days have passed, the seven or eight adults in the capital still have not taken off the white flag that was originally a little unlucky in their opinion.

In the words of Chen Fang, the left servant of Shangshu today, it was Ye Guogong who brought fifty years of prosperity to the Great Jin Dynasty with his own strength.

All the people of the Great Jin Dynasty living in this prosperous era should have some awe of Ye Guogong.

Three days have passed, the funeral has been almost done, and the old man's orphan was personally sent out of Beijing by Ye Lan and Ye Mao's uncle and nephew, and returned to Ningling's hometown for burial.

And here in the capital, the imperial court also invited a painter to paint a portrait of the old man, and then someone from the Zongfu came forward and invited him into the Taimiao and hung it in the west side hall dedicated to the heroes.

The Great Jin Ji clan has been founded for more than 100 years, and the east side hall dedicated to the royal family is overcrowded, but there have not been many people in the west side hall, and Ye Sheng is the eighth person who is qualified to enter the west side hall.

Entering this matching hall means that the incense of the heavenly family has been received from generation to generation, and the blood of the royal family is endless, and the incense here will not be broken, which is a great honor for the courtiers.

It is worth mentioning that among the seven people in front of Ye Sheng, five Wenchen, two military generals, and these two military generals are all castes.

And Chen Guogong Ye Sheng is the only one among the eight people who was born with mud legs, and he is also the one with the greatest credit.

If nothing else, the ninth important minister in this palace should be the current Marquis of Jing'an, the crown prince Li Changan.

After all, when Li Shen died in Zhaoling, Taikang Tianzi personally said that he wanted Li Xin to accompany the emperor's tomb and enjoy the Taimiao.

Of course, whether the Marquis of Jing'an is willing or not, that's another matter.

After Ye Sheng's portrait was invited into the temple, the uncles and nephews who were in charge of the Ye family also left Beijing, and the funeral was also over.

After taking a bath, Li Xin went back to the backyard to talk to the eldest princess, and hugged the children again, and finally the tiredness of not resting for several days finally came out, and Li Xin lay on the bed and fell asleep.

By the time he opened his eyes, it was already the middle of the moon.

In the room, Xiao Ahan and Li Ping were both carried by the subordinates to sleep elsewhere, and Her Royal Highness the eldest princess lay quietly beside Li Xin, sleeping very sweetly.

In the past few days, Li Xin has not come back once at Ye's house, and she often goes to Ye's house to follow the work, and she is also a little tired at this time.

Li Xin lay on the bed, his eyes closed and he couldn't fall asleep again, he sighed, put on his clothes, and walked out of the room.

It's mid-May, and the weather is basically summer, and not only will it not be cold at night, but it will be cool, but a gust of night wind blows and Li Xin still feels a little cold.

He strolled around the huge Jing'an Hou Mansion, and finally walked to the pavilion in the back garden and sat down, and asked the people in the mansion to make a few dishes and a pot of wine.

He sat down alone under the gazebo and drank to himself.

After a while, a middle-aged man dressed in white also appeared under the gazebo, Li Xin glanced up at him, and said lightly: "What a coincidence, Brother You'an, I can meet you so late, why don't we sit down and have a glass of wine together?" ”

"Clever ......"

Zhao Jia rubbed his eyes sleepily, and at the same time held back half of the dirty words in his mouth, and then sat down opposite Li Xin, and said with a wry smile: "In the middle of the night, it doesn't matter if Master Hou doesn't sleep by himself, and let people make me quarrel, it's too unkind." ”

"I've slept all day, and I can't sleep well."

Li Xin exhaled slowly, and reached out to pour a glass of wine for Zhao Jiaye.

"So I want to talk to Brother You'an."

After a person reaches a certain point, it is not easy to find someone who can speak, for example, the current Taikang Tianzi, he doesn't know how many Zhu Zigui people around him every day, but there is actually no one who can really talk to him.

Li Xin is lucky, but Zhao Jia can talk to him.

Zhao Youan picked up the wine glass, toasted Li Xin with a glass of wine, raised his head and drank it all, then put down the wine glass and sighed: "Master Hou, the people are gone, don't be too sad." ”

Li Xin also drank all the wine in the cup, and while pouring the wine, he said slowly: "I don't know why, I always feel empty in my heart." ”

He took a drink to himself, then spat out a puff of wine.

"I woke up in the middle of the night, and suddenly I thought that I would not have an elder who could give gifts and kowtow willingly in the future, so I felt very empty in my heart, and it was very unpleasant."

Zhao Jia was silent for a moment, then smiled reluctantly.

"Doesn't Master Hou still have a mother-in-law in the palace?"

Li Xin shook his head and didn't answer.

Zhao Jia grew up in Chen Guogong's Mansion since he was a child, although he hadn't seen Ye Sheng a few times since he was a child, but he was infected by the atmosphere of Li Xin's words, and he raised his head and drank a glass of wine, his voice hoarse.

"As soon as Master Hou said this, I realized that I had lost my elders early."

After people come to this world, they will naturally be cared for by adults, and then slowly grow up and become adults.

But one day, when I suddenly look back and find that there are no more parents on my head, or even an elder who really recognizes, I will feel a strong sense of loneliness in my heart.

Because it means that from today onwards, you have to face the world yourself.

Li Xin is probably in this mood now.

Ye Sheng has taken good care of him in the past ten years, and the two of them are called master and apprentice, but in fact, Old Man Ye is more like an elder who teaches him earnestly.

Now that this elder is gone, he will be the only one left in the future to face all the things in the future.

"Actually, I thought there would be such a day."

Marquis Jing'an took another sip of wine and said in a low voice: "So as early as a few years ago, I was secretly preparing how to protect myself after Master Ye left. ”

"But now, Master Ye is really gone......"

A bitter smile appeared on Li Xin's face.

He ...... It was too sudden. ”

From the birthday banquet to the funeral banquet, there was only a day between before and after......

Zhao Jia sighed, reached out and picked up the wine jug to fill the wine glasses of the two people, he picked up the wine glass and touched Li Xin's wine glass.

"At this moment, I really don't know how to comfort Hou Ye, so I can only sacrifice my life to be a drinking friend and accompany Hou Ye to have a good drink."

With that, he raised his head and drank it all.

Li Xin smiled slightly, and drank all the wine in the cup.

"Rest assured, I'm not that vulnerable."

He put down his glass and took several deep breaths, as if to exhale the slump in his chest.

"Today, our meal is to remember the ancestors."

"But I don't just have a teacher, I have family, friends."

The Marquis of Jing'an took a sip of wine and gritted his teeth.

"Starting tomorrow, I will be the smiling Jing'anhou again."

"Without my elders, I can handle it myself......"
