Chapter 174: The Fifth Son of the Ye Family

Faced with Ye Luan's question, Li Xin was silent for a while and nodded slowly.

"Senior brother, there may be big changes in the capital within the year, and it is inconvenient for me to contact Senior Brother Ye Ming at this time, so I ask the Ye family to prepare a little."

Ye Luan's face was solemn.

He looked at Li Xin and said in a deep voice: "What is the big deal that can let Chang'an return to Beijing from the southwest at this time?" ”

Li Xin lowered his head and hesitated slightly.

He looked up at Ye Lan and slowly exhaled.

"Senior brother, does the Ye family have ...... The idea of competing for the reserve? ”

At the beginning, Li Xin and Ye Lan and Hou Jingde were three people to help the Son of Heaven to win the heir, before the Son of Heaven promised the Ye family that he would marry a daughter of the Ye family as a concubine, and later the Son of Heaven kept his promise and married Ye Ming's eldest daughter Ye Xuan as a concubine, and was named Concubine De, Concubine De entered the palace in Taikang for three years, Taikang gave birth to a son in four years, and was the fourth son of the Son of Heaven.

If the Son of Heaven is really destined for a short time, then the situation in the capital today is very different from the eighteenth year of Chengde ten years ago.

It is also for this reason that the succession ten years ago was particularly intense.

But at this time, the Taikang Emperor is only thirty-three years old, and the prince of the Taikang Dynasty, the eldest prince, is only thirteen or fourteen years old, and there is still a long way to go before he becomes an adult.

So at this time, the strength of the mother family is extremely important.

If a prince's mother family is strong enough, then even if he is relatively mediocre and has the assistance of his mother family, he will be able to sit on the throne in the future and will not fall into power.

Of course, there is also a hidden danger of relatives interfering in politics by doing this, but the new emperor and his relatives are considered to be their own family, and when they become adults, how can they slowly regain power.

It's a big deal, just kill a few people.

Therefore, at this time, the power of the prince's mother family is extremely important.

Among them, Concubine De, who was born in the Ye family, and Concubine Niangniang, who was born in a farming family, are both considered family strengths.

And the families of the two mothers are Jiangmen, Jiangmen may be able to seize power, but they will not interfere in politics, which can help the little emperor grow up.

After hearing Li Xin's words, Ye Luan's face changed suddenly.

Even a big man like him, who is used to seeing the wind and rain in the capital, was scared half to death by Li Xin's words.

He got up and looked left and right, and after making sure that no one was eavesdropping around, he turned back and gritted his teeth at Li Xin.

"Chang'an, what nonsense are you talking about?"

"I'm not talking nonsense."

Li Xin's face was calm: "Concubine De Niangniang in the palace is the daughter of Senior Brother Ye Ming, and she is also the niece of Senior Brother. ”

"As long as the Ye family wants to participate, I will stand on the side of the Ye family......"

Li Xin wanted to continue to say something, but Ye Lan had already interrupted him.

This Marquis of Ningling's face was ugly: "Your Majesty is in his prime, where can he talk about the matter of competing for the crown?" Chang'an, your words have been heard, not only your Li family, but even my Ye family will be implicated! ”

Li Xin was still sitting on the chair, reaching out to add a cup of hot tea to Ye Luan, his face was calm.

"Senior brother thinks, apart from this incident, what else can make me fight for my life and return to Beijing at this time?"

Ye Lan looked at Li Xin blankly, a little stunned.

Before this, there was no news in the capital mentioning this matter, and they, the people in the upper circle of power in the capital, had only heard that the Son of Heaven was sick and it was inconvenient to go to court, but because the Son of Heaven was only in his thirties, no one thought that the Son of Heaven would be so sick that his life was in danger!

Some people even secretly speculated that the Son of Heaven was starting to be lazy, so he excused himself from being sick.

But Li Xin's words stunned Ye Lan all of a sudden.

The fourth master of the Ye family was stunned for a long time before he sat back opposite Li Xin in a daze and lowered his voice.

"Chang'an, what did you say...... It's true? ”

"I'm not entirely sure."

Li Xin closed his eyes and slowly exhaled: "But according to my judgment, there is at least a seventy percent chance of this matter, senior brother may not know, I just returned to the capital yesterday, and I entered the palace to see Your Majesty, Your Majesty ...... at this time."

"I'm sick."

Speaking of this, Li Xincong stood up in his chair and arched his hand at Ye Luan.

"What the junior brother said just now, the senior brother may not be able to make a decision, you might as well send someone to send a letter to Senior Brother Ye Ming, let him come to get an idea, if you make up your mind, senior brother, you will let someone come to the Jing'an Hou Mansion to find me."

The Marquis of Jing'an's face was sincere.

"Master Ye treats me as his own, and the two senior brothers treat me like brothers, as long as the Ye family has this year, the younger brother will definitely help."

Ye Lan was stunned for a while before returning the salute to Li Xin.

He smiled bitterly and said: "Chang'an, this matter is too big, I really can't be the master, I can only let the eldest brother come to the idea." ”

Speaking of this, after a pause, he said with a wry smile: "But even if this matter is true, the eldest brother will probably not let the Ye family get involved, when Concubine De married into the palace two years ago, the old man said that although he had an in-law, he only regarded it as the Ye family lost a daughter, and he should not have too much contact." ”

"Until now, our family has not had much contact with Concubine De, and the eldest brother has only seen that grandson once."

Speaking of this, he looked up at Li Xin and was deeply moved.

"Chang'an's words, I will tell the eldest brother, but according to my understanding of the eldest brother, he will most likely not interfere in it, and he will not let the Ye family interfere in it."

Ye Siye said apologetically to Li Xin: "I disappointed Chang'an." ”

Li Xin smiled.

"Senior brother misunderstood, I'm not here to do anything with the identity of Concubine De, but to ask the attitude of the Ye family, it doesn't matter if the Ye family intervenes or not, anyway, with the current power of the Ye family, no matter who ascends the throne, it will not hurt the foundation."

Speaking of this, Li Xin said slowly: "Senior brother let Senior Brother Ye Ming give him an attitude as soon as possible, if the Ye family is not interested, then the junior brother will have to do his own thing." ”

To be honest, Li Xin's visit can be said to be extremely sincere to the Ye family.

He is the prince's teacher and the prince's uncle, he was labeled as a "princeling" as early as the third year of Taikang, and with his size in the foreign court, he can even be called the leader of the "princeling".

However, with the attitude of the Ye family, it is unlikely that they will intervene in it.

If the Ye family will not intervene, then once the Son of Heaven dies, Li Xin, the crown prince, will have no choice but to stand behind the prince and help the prince sit on the throne.

After listening to Li Xin's words, Ye Lu remembered Li Xin's identity, his face was solemn, and he slammed at Li Xinchang to the ground.

"The righteousness of Chang'an, the Ye family remembers it in their hearts."

Li Xin shook his head and reached out to help Ye Lan up.

"Senior brother is too polite."

The Marquis of Jing'an said in a deep voice: "Ye Sheng said before his death that I am the fifth son of the Ye family, and the affairs of the Ye family are also my affairs. ”

After talking to Ye Luan, it was almost noon, Ye Lan wanted to leave him at home for dinner, but Li Xin insisted on refusing and got up to say goodbye.

When it was almost noon, Li Xin left the Ningling Marquis Mansion and walked towards his home.

At this time, he didn't know that in his Jing'an Hou Mansion, there was already a holy purpose waiting for him.
