For decades, although the old man Ye has not been closed, but for the court situation, he has always been quite concerned, after hearing Li Xin's words, the old man who was originally a little lazy immediately became energetic, he sat up from the recliner, glanced at Li Xin, and slowly spoke: "What did Your Majesty say to you?" ”

Li Xin nodded and said with a smile: "Master Ye, look at it, when the weather gets warmer, it's almost time to fight." ”

Now, according to the various signs of the imperial court, the matter of the Northern Expedition is almost a certainty, and the difference is only in the details, so Li Xin dared to say such a firm word.

Old man Ye squinted his eyes and thought for a while, then turned his head to look at Li Xin.

"How much do you know?"

It's a little sad to say, Ye Sheng, as the most dazzling general since the founding of the Great Jin Dynasty, really doesn't know as much about the affairs of the court as Li Xin, a young man.

Li Xin sat on the flat ground, glanced up at the old man, and said with a smile: "Master Ye, if you don't drink anymore, the disciple will tell you everything you know." ”

Old man Ye glared and snorted: "You kid likes to talk or not, Lao Tzu has never been coerced by others in this life!" ”

This old man, oil and salt don't enter.

In desperation, Li Xin shook his head and said: "Now everything in all aspects, the imperial court has already prepared, and today's Son of Heaven wants to use this incident to cover up the palace change back then." ”

"Originally, this battle could be fought or not, but the Son of Heaven had such an old thing, and the current imperial court has the ability to look north, for various reasons, this battle must be fought."

Speaking of this, Li Xin was silent for a while, glanced around, and after making sure that there was no one else in the courtyard, he said in a low voice: "Don't hide it from Master Ye, Your Majesty has asked the disciple's military department to prepare ordnance and send it to the north." ”

Old Man Ye narrowed his eyes and asked, "Is it sent to Jimen Pass, or to Yunzhou City?" ”

Now that it has been said here, then there is nothing to hide from Old Man Ye, Li Xin replied in a low voice: "It is Yunzhou City at present." ”

"This matter is still in the confidential stage, and nothing has been implemented yet, Master Ye just listens to it."

Ye Sheng glanced at Li Xin, and said angrily: "The old man's mouth is the most reliable mouth in the entire Great Jin, the secret things of the Great Jin, the old man doesn't know how much he knows, which thing has been circulated?" ”

Old man Ye will be eighty years old in another month, and his age when he was a general was not too high, forty or fifty years of officialdom has made Old Man Ye indeed know many things that others don't know.

After all, many things are stories and history for others, but for this old man, they are just memories buried in his mind.

Li Xin smiled: "I don't mean to worry about Master Ye, it's just that these things haven't been decided yet, just an idea." ”

Ye Sheng nodded, sat on the recliner and frowned, and then sighed slightly: "Chang'an." ”

Li Xin opened his mouth and said, "The disciple is here." ”

"The Northern Expedition is not better than the Western Expedition, when the Western Expedition is carried out, the general trend of the people is on the side of the imperial court, and the Pingnan Army does not occupy the righteousness, so the fight can be so smooth, but the Northern Expedition is very different, the old man has calculated in his heart these days, once the fight starts, most of the time will drag the court into the quagmire."

Li Xin sat on the flat ground and said with a smile: "Master Ye, these are the daily trips of Your Majesty and the three provinces, you and I are both military attachés, what we have to do is to wait for the order of the imperial court, the imperial court wants us to fight, let's just fight, as for why we fight, whether we should fight or not, it is not something we should ask." ”

Old man Ye snorted angrily and looked back at Li Xin.

"In the past eight years of the new dynasty, there have been two large-scale wars, which one has nothing to do with you, and you still have the face to say this!"

The Marquis of Jing'an's face was not red and out of breath.

"Master Ye, there is no basis for empty words, you don't have to wronged the disciple, no matter what it is, the disciple is in line with the general trend, how can manpower influence the situation?"

"Why not?"

Old man Ye sneered: "Five years ago, if your kid had a hot head and rebelled with the Pingnan Army, would Dajin still be what it is now?" ”

"Haven't times changed?"

Li Xin smiled slightly and didn't say anything.

Just when Old Man Ye was about to say something more, the courtyard door of this small courtyard was knocked again.

Ye Sheng's expression moved slightly, and he was about to get up, but after all, he still sat on the recliner and did not stand up.

Marquis Jing'an smiled, stood up from the ground, patted the dirt on his buttocks, and walked towards the door of the small courtyard.

After pushing open the courtyard gate, a middle-aged man who was slightly shorter than Ye Mao and had a slender figure stood at the gate of the courtyard.

Li Xin bowed his head and clenched his fists at the middle-aged man: "Senior Brother Ye is back." ”

This middle-aged man is naturally Ye Sheng's fourth son, after the change of Renchen Palace, he was canonized as the Marquis of Ningling by Emperor Taikang.

After Ye Lan was sent to the northern army of Jimen Pass Town in the north after the new dynasty, and gave his brother Ye Ming as a deputy general, and now in eight years, he has only returned to the capital twice.

Ye Lan was stunned, and then immediately bowed his head and saluted: "Senior brother is also here." ”

Li Xin smiled: "I know that my senior brother is back today, I haven't seen him for a long time, so I deliberately waited here all the time." ”

Ye Xuan took a deep breath, looked through Li Xin, glanced at Old Man Ye who was lying on the recliner behind Li Xin, and finally let out a long breath.

"Senior brother, father...... What's going on? ”

"It's okay for the time being."

Li Xin lowered his eyebrows and said: "Mr. Qin said, it was the outbreak of the old injury in the past, but with Mr. Qin recuperating here, there will be no accident for a while, but you must not drink excessively like before, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable." ”

"Master Ye still listens to Senior Brother Ye, Senior Brother Ye is back, just to persuade him."

After speaking, Li Xin turned sideways and made a way.

Ye Xuan nodded, walked in, and after walking in front of the old man, Ye Sishao, who was known as the second generation of the Ye family, was the most unproductive, but had been a deputy general in Jimen Pass for eight years, knelt down respectfully.

"Father, the son is back."

Ye Sheng lay on the recliner and glanced at his youngest son a few times, then sighed silently and sat up slowly.

After Ye Sheng stood up, he walked to Ye Luan's side and stretched out his hand to help him up.

With his palm, which was already a little shriveled, he patted the little son's hand and sighed.

"Over the years, I've suffered you."

The old man always pampers his younger son, and Ye Sheng is the same, Ye Sishao was idle in the capital back then, eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling, although it was due to his temper, but he did not have the connivance of the old man Ye.

Ye Xuan's nose was sour, holding his father's palm, and he choked a little.

"Father, you are ...... body"

"And I can't die."

Old man Ye stretched out his hand and patted his son's back, and said with a smile: "Big man, don't cry and cry, I don't like it for my father." ”

Ye Lan's eyes were a little red, but he still held back his tears, lowered his head and took his old father's hand, and said slowly.

"Father, you've ...... in the past few years"

"Much older......"

Ye Sheng smiled dumbly.

"Everyone will be old, you are almost eighty years old, can you not be old?"
