The establishment of each dynasty is the overthrow of the order of the previous dynasty and the establishment of a new order, but even the founder of the new order must follow this order as much as possible and exercise his power within the limits of the order.

That is to say, even if you are the emperor, you can't be too capricious, you can't do whatever you want, you have to do things according to the rules of the imperial court, and the agreements made by your ancestors and others will be obeyed by future generations of emperors.

For example, the Ye family, when Emperor Wu asked the Ye family to guard Jimen Pass for generations in front of hundreds of civil and military officials, this is the agreement, now the Ye family has not committed treason, and has not violated the law, let alone actively refused, because of his own suspicion, the new son of heaven insisted on not letting the Ye family take care of Jimen Pass!

This is a very naïve behavior, and the naïve thing is that the emperor can't take the position of the Ye family, but he can't have no reason.

If it was the Son of Chengde or even the Son of Taikang to do this, they would also want to let Ye Mao stay in the capital, and even put Ye Mao under house arrest, but they would definitely make up a charge for the Ye family, or find an excuse that the Ye family could not refuse, instead of doing it so bluntly.

What kind of crime is fabricated, or what excuse is made, it depends on the emperor's personal means, and how the Ye family responds depends on the Ye family's methods, which is the game in the rules.

Everyone showed their abilities and lost their self-confession.

As a result of Yuan Zhao's bluntness, the Ye family was naturally angry, and the government and opposition subjects and ordinary people would also be blind, saying that the emperor had wronged his loyal ministers.

Therefore, Ye Sishao, whose temper has been much better over the years, will say that sentence.

"I don't even understand the most basic rules!"

Li Xin, who was sitting opposite Ye Lan, was a little embarrassed, because from any point of view, the young emperor who was now sitting on the throne was indeed his student, and he was also a student he brought up from childhood.

Li Xin was restrained by his parents.

But this kid Li Xin really hasn't taught much, there are many lecturers in the East Palace, in fact, there is nothing to teach, but he usually occasionally tells him some principles of life.

But the truth is such a thing, you always have to figure it out for yourself to count, even if it is a deafening truth left by the Holy Master, the vast majority of people just look at it and forget it in the blink of an eye.

The young man can't listen to the reason if he doesn't suffer a loss, but he has been a prince since he was four years old, and no one can let him suffer, so there is such a somewhat stubborn and self-serving son.

Marquis Jing'an shook his head helplessly.

"He has been a prince since he was a child, and the lecturers in the East Palace will tell him what should be taught, and he should also know the rules and principles in the court, but after all, he is a young man and wants to do things in his own way."

Ye Lan sat in the reeds, still a little angry.

He looked up at Li Xin, gritted his teeth and said: "My father has worked hard for decades, and the family business that he has only earned with his life, and the eldest brother has also protected it for decades, so you must not say that it will be gone!" ”

In fact, when the old man was alive, he had already been separated from the Chen Guogong Mansion, and in the future, the Ningling Marquis Mansion and the Chen Guogong Mansion will slowly become two families, and the Zhenbei Army is the family business of the Chen Guogong Mansion, if it is a shallow mind, he will not contribute to the family business of the Chen Guogong Mansion like this, and it is also the brotherhood of the Ye family, Ye Sishao still regards himself as a person from the Chen Guogong Mansion, so he will be so angry.

"Don't worry."

There is a water urn in the reed, and there are a few coarse porcelain bowls, which are used for Ye Mao to drink water on weekdays, because it is filial piety, so they are the most humble things, Li Xin got up and poured a glass of water for Ye Lan from the tea urn, and then said: "Even if the imperial court sends people to Jizhou City, it will not be able to control the Zhenbei Army, and the face is lost, but the inside is still there." ”

As he spoke, Li Xin glanced up at Ye Mao, and then continued: "I have also discussed this matter with Ye Mao in the past few days. ”

The Marquis of Jing'an said in a deep voice: "I thought that sooner or later something would happen in Northern Xinjiang, since the Son of Heaven did not let Ye Mao go to Jizhou, then Ye Mao would stay in Ningling to control the northern army of the town, once something happened in Northern Xinjiang, the person sent by the Son of Heaven to Northern Xinjiang would have to carry a big black cauldron, and not only the Ye family could recover immediately." ”

Speaking of this, Li Xin stretched out his finger and pointed to his nose and said, "When the time comes, I can also return to the center and even take charge of the army again." ”

Ye Lan raised his head and glanced at Li Xin deeply.

He was silent for a moment, then lowered his head and took a sip.

"You're going to take this opportunity to rebel?"

Li Xin did not deny it, he said in a deep voice: "At least, this time we must thoroughly control the government and the capital, and the senior brother also said that today's Son of Heaven does not pay attention to the rules, and the senior brother knows that I am a person who has always refused to go against the grain, and now the Ye family has also become the target of the imperial court's suppression, or this kind of unruly suppression, if the Ye family continues to accept it, then the Zhenbei Army must not think about it." ”

The Ye family has controlled the Zhenbei Army for decades, and no matter who the imperial court sends in a short period of time, it is unlikely to shake the foundation of the Ye family, but if it takes a long time, it is not necessarily, no one can guarantee a lifetime of loyalty, not to mention facing the imperial court.

After a long time, the Zhenbei Army has nothing to do with the Ye family.

The Marquis of Jing'an looked at Ye Lan and said: "At that time, the Ye family will be kept in captivity in the capital like other generals in the Great Jin Dynasty, at this time I said that the imperial court will kill the Ye family, and most of the senior brothers don't believe it, but it is an indisputable fact that life and death are in the hands of others." ”

Li Xin let out a long breath.

"If that's the case, senior brother, you and Ye Mao each have two sons, I suggest you let me take one to the southwest, no matter what, the southwest will become a country of its own in the future, and the Ye family will open another branch in the southwest."

Compared with Ye Mao, who was obedient to Li Xinyan, Ye Lan was largely independent thinker, he frowned and thought for a while, then looked up at Li Xin.

"Chang'an, you are very eloquent, and you will know it when you are a brother in Chengde for eighteen years."

Ye Sishao said silently: "My Ye family does not rebel. ”

As he spoke, he turned his head to look at Ye Mao, because theoretically speaking, Ye Mao was the current head of the Ye family, the third Chen Guogong.

Ye Mao first looked at Li Xin, then at his uncle, and finally bowed his head and said, "Father is gone, the Ye family is naturally in charge of the fourth uncle." ”

"It's up to you."

Ye Luan's face was calm: "You are the head of the family, if you have to rebel with the Zhenbei Army, your uncle will be the vanguard for you." ”

Li Xin glanced at Ye Lan, and then said with a smile: "No one wants the Ye family to rebel, senior brother, you and Ye Mao can't go to Jizhou now, and it will take ten days and half a month to spread the message to Jizhou here, even if you can remotely control the Zhenbei Army, you can only command the general direction." ”

Marquis of Jing'an slowly exhaled a breath, he looked at Ye Lan, gritted his teeth and said: "Senior brother, if Jizhou is broken by the Xianbei Department in the future, and Minister Yuwen drives straight in, it will be the improper use of people by the Son of Heaven and has nothing to do with the Ye family." ”

"But the 100,000 Zhenbei Army will not be wiped out, and I will use the remnants of the Zhenbei Army."

"When the time comes, the Ye family will have to help me."

Ye Lan frowned: "As soon as the thistle door is broken, at least half of the Ye family's family will be damaged, and we should try to remedy it, how can we plan for the future?" ”

"How can I remedy it?"

Li Xin looked at Ye Lan and said in a sullen voice: "Now, as long as 50,000 or 100,000 forbidden troops go north, the two passes of Yunzhou and Jizhou will be impregnable, but who can take away so many forbidden troops now, is it you or Ye Mao, senior brother?" Or do I go? ”

"Don't you want me to take the Southwest Army and cross the capital to save Jimen Pass?"

The Marquis of Jing'an gritted his teeth and said: "The Jimen Pass is broken, and the Zhenbei Army is damaged, it all depends on the Ye family's thoughts, there is no need to fight to the end with the Xianbei Department." ”

Ye Sishao's eyes widened, a little angry.

"You...... You want to Zhenbei Army and let the Xianbei Department enter the customs! ”

"It's not about letting them in."

Li Xin took a deep breath: "When you can't stop it, don't fight with them." ”

"Senior brother, people should be selfish, the court no longer believes in the Ye family, and there is no need for the Ye family to guard the door for the court and empty the family."

The Marquis of Ningling was furious, and he got up and glared at Li Xin.

"My Ye family is guarding the country for the people of Dajin, not for his Ji family!"

In this regard, Li Xin had already prepared, his face remained unchanged, and he said quietly.

"After the Xianbei Department enters the customs, there is a way to clean them up."

"They don't make a big fuss."
