Chapter 36 An Old Man Returns to Beijing
Zhao Jia is the most powerful person in the Jing'an Hou Mansion except for Li Xin, and even in some aspects, he has to do better than Li Xin, so when Li Xin came back from the southwest, he left Zhao Jia in the southwest to coordinate many things in the southwest.
At the beginning, Li Xin's original intention was to let Zhao Jia go back with Ye Ming, but when Ye Ming returned to Beijing, the shadow of the remnants of the Pingnan Army was found in the southwest, and Li Xin asked Zhao Jia to continue to stay in the southwest and become the spokesperson of the Jing'an Hou Mansion in the southwest.
In other words, the Zhao family has been in the southwest all these years, which is equivalent to Li Xin himself being in the southwest.
In the past five years, Zhao Jia only returned to Beijing twice, visited his wife and children, and lived in the city of Hanzhou in the southwest for the rest of the time, and actually became one of the important figures who affected the situation in the southwest in recent years.
Last year, in order to hone Zhao Fang on the one hand, and on the other hand, he also let the child go to Hanzhou Mansion to "visit relatives", so he sent Zhao Fang to Zhao Jia and asked Zhao Jia to help take it.
In fact, Zhao Fang has read many more books over the years than Li Xin, although he calls Li Xin a teacher, but Li Xin really has nothing to teach him, so he can only throw him to Zhao Jia, who is in the book bag.
Now, Mu Ying has completely controlled the Hanzhou Army, and the Hanzhou Mansion has also stabilized, and the Pingnan Army has ...... The remnants have also been arranged, and there is no need for Zhao Jia to continue to stay in the capital.
In fact, after the New Year, Zhao Jia and Zhao Fang were already on the way back to Beijing, and the two of them should have arrived at this time, but Zhao Jia had an illness on the road and was delayed for some days, so it was delayed until today and has not returned to Beijing.
But even so, counting the days, Zhao Jia arrived in the capital for these two days.
At the beginning, Li Xin's promise to Zhao Jia was that Zhao Jia would stay in the Jing'an Hou Mansion for another two years, and two years later, Zhao Jia would start from a magistrate, but things in the southwest were complicated and chaotic, so Zhao Youan was delayed for three more years.
Hearing Li Xin's tone, Old Man Ye also knew that if he wanted to ask for someone with him, he would not come back anyway, the old man snorted and said, "This matter is so soft, you kid owes the old man a favor." ”
Li Xin looked at the old man with a smile.
"Master Ye is too foreign when he says this, the disciple and the Ye family have long been indistinguishable from each other, there is nothing unkind, the Ye family's affairs are the disciple's affairs."
Ye Sheng shook his head slowly.
"That's not what I said, no matter how close you are, you can't suffer, otherwise no matter what it is, it won't last long."
"You are the old man's apprentice, and you are filial piety, but you don't owe anything to the rest of the Ye family, you can come how you want, although the old man wants you to take care of the Ye family more in the future, but you can't be unreasonable."
The old man sat up and let out a slow breath.
"When I was a child when I was farming in Ningling, my mother taught this truth, and her old man said that between brothers, the grain should also be clearly divided, otherwise after a long time, no matter how good the brothers are, they will fight."
Old man Ye is eighty years old this year, and his old man's mother has been dead for I don't know how many years, but when the somewhat irritable Ye Sheng mentioned his mother, his tone was rarely gentle.
Li Xin smiled and said, "Master Ye has great wisdom. ”
"The wisdom of bullshit."
Old man Ye rolled his eyes disdainfully.
"I'm old, I've spent so many years in this world, I have to understand some truths, otherwise wouldn't this life be in vain?"
"What the old man told you is all handed down by the ancestors, and the old man has personally experienced it for decades, and has served the flowers and plants for decades before he pondered the great truth of transparency."
Li Xin stood up from the bench and looked at Old Man Ye deeply, his face solemn.
"The disciple has been taught."
Ye Sheng nodded with satisfaction, and finally said slowly: "It's been five years since you came back from the southwest, and the edge that should be covered is almost covered." ”
"From today onwards, you have to reach out and take the things that are right for you, otherwise if you don't take them, others will think that you are weak and deceitful, and they will think that those things are not yours."
Li Xin winked at Old Man Ye, and then smiled: "What Master Ye means by this sentence is ......"
"The prince is not small."
The old man hesitated for a moment, and then said: "You are the prince Taibao, and you are the teacher of the prince's eight classics. ”
"The crown prince is the eldest son."
Over the years, although Li Xin was awarded the title of Prince Taibao, in fact, he never went to the East Palace once, and even when the prince went to his house, he received him as a relative, and he was not particularly close to the prince.
After listening to Old Man Ye's words, Li Xin smiled slightly.
"Your Majesty is in the prime of spring and autumn, if Master Ye's words get out, he will be in prison."
The old man pursed his lips disdainfully,
"Squatting and squatting, Lao Tzu is so old, are you afraid of them?"
Marquis Jing'an shook his head helplessly.
This old man is good at everything, but his temper is not very good.
……………………
Taikang has been eight years old and has entered the end of March.
Every day, people from the right battalion of Yulin Wei sent people to inspect and collect these ordnances, and then put them into wooden boxes one by one, ready to send them to Yunzhou.
In this process, the people in the military department have always wanted to intervene, but they were ruthlessly rejected by Yu Linwei, so these people somewhat hated Li Xin, and the impeachment of Li Xin in the court during this period of time has not stopped.
However, as long as these recitals enter Weiyang Palace, they are often lost in the sea, and there is no news.
The crowd in Yushitai was indignant, and once had the urge to go to the gate of Weiyang Palace to kneel and admonish.
However, at the same time, the Marquis of Jing'an, who was at the center of the contradiction, did not stay at home honestly, let alone in the yamen of the military department, and came to the west gate of the capital in Chen Sixteen's carriage, quietly waiting for the arrival of his old friend.
He waited here early in the morning, and it was close to noon when there was an ordinary blue carriage on the official road to the west, which came slowly.
The carriage was very simple, it could only be regarded as the most ordinary carriage, and it was driven by a young man of fourteen or fifteen years old.
Li Xin sat in the carriage of the Marquis of Jing'an's mansion and squinted at the inconspicuous carriage.
Behind this carriage, at least twenty or thirty people secretly protected.
Finally, the carriage got closer, and Li Xin put his hands in his wide sleeves and slowly greeted him.
When the young man driving saw Li Xin, he waved to Li Xin from a distance, and after getting out of the car, he ran directly towards Li Xin and knelt down in the dust.
"I've seen the teacher."
Li Xin glanced at the tanned young man lightly, and said, "No need to be so polite, get up." ”
Zhao Fang immediately stood up and stood behind Li Xin with a grin.
Li Xin glanced up at the carriage, and then smiled slightly: "Brother You'an's hometown is timid?" ”
The curtain of the cyan carriage was slowly lifted, and a man dressed in white, about thirty years old, stepped down and saluted Li Xin in a proper manner.
"I've seen Hou Ye Li."
Li Xin pulled his sleeve with a smile, looked Zhao Jia up and down a few times, and smiled.
"Brother You'an, I haven't seen you for a long time, you seem to be ...... I've gained a lot of weight. ”
