From the autumn of last year, Li Xin led the team to climb over the Sky Ridge, until the end of March of the third year of Taikang, only more than half a year before and after, this Jing'an Marquis almost broke Jincheng by himself, which seems to be an unprecedented miracle since the opening of the Great Jin Dynasty, but in fact, if you study carefully, you can find that there are a lot of loopholes in the middle.

One of the most obvious loopholes is the Hanzhou rebels who don't know where they came from.

Even if the Pingnan Army did evil in Shu County, and the local people attacked it in groups and spontaneously organized a righteous army, it would be impossible to pull up an army of 50,000 people in one go, and besides, all of them appeared in the territory of Hanzhou Prefecture.

How many families are there in Hanzhou Mansion?

According to the method of conscription in the Great Jin Dynasty, twenty households draw one or even fifteen households draw one, and it is impossible to pull up a team of 50,000 people in Hanzhou Mansion alone, not to mention, the 50,000 people pulled up in a short period of time have also caused harm to the Pingnan Army!

It simply doesn't make sense.

reported to the imperial court, and the imperial court may not approve it.

Li Xin was silent for a while, and then said with a smile: "Senior brother, no matter where the Hanzhou Righteous Army comes from, they have helped us after all, as long as we report it and give them the title of the Righteous Army, in the future, when the southwest is pacified, this Righteous Army will naturally return to Longmu and will not reappear." ”

Ye Ming stubbornly stood up to Li Xin.

"Chang'an, if you report this statement, will the Zaifu of the three provinces approve it?"

Li Xin lowered his eyebrows and said: "It doesn't matter if they admit it or not, Your Majesty will admit it." ”

When he was still the king of Wei, Li Xin told him about the remnants of Nanshu, and the two of them wanted to use these relics to contain the Pingnan Hou Mansion, or use this as the key to open the dilemma in the southwest.

At that time, the Son of Heaven in Chengde also knew Mu Ying's identity.

The Hanzhou Rebels helped pacify the Pingnan Army, which was originally Li Xin's "substitution" of Taikang Tianzi and the transaction with the remnants of Nanshu.

It's just that Li Xin, a middleman, made some difference.

Of course, whether it is the Ye family or the Zaifu of the three provinces, they don't know about this, after all, this kind of thing can't be seen on the table, and if it spreads, how can the dignified son of heaven do business with the anti-thieves in Nanshu?

Ye Ming frowned deeply and did not speak.

The Marquis of Jing'an stretched out his hand and poured Ye Ming a glass of wine, then lowered his voice and said slowly: "Senior Brother Ye, I shouldn't have told you these things, but we are a family, since you asked, I will tell you a few words." ”

Li Xin looked left and right, and after making sure that there were only two people from the Ye family, father and son, he said in a low voice: "The Hanzhou Righteous Army is the remnants of Nanshu who died but did not freeze back then, and it is through them that the younger brother can take Jincheng in one fell swoop!" ”

Ye Ming's face changed suddenly.

He frowned and said: "It has been thirty years since the fall of the old Nanshu, and these thieves have heard that they have been making trouble in the southwest and are the source of the disaster of the Great Jin Dynasty, how can you be complicit with them in Chang'an?" ”

Ye Shaobao's expression was solemn.

"Chang'an, you are a person with a bright future, but don't take the wrong path, if this matter is discovered by others, even if you have great merit, this stain will ruin you!"

As he spoke, he sighed.

"It's also reckless for my brother, and I shouldn't ask about this matter for my brother."

He looked solemn and said: "Chang'an, don't worry, this matter can be out of your mouth and into the ears of my father and son, and there will be no fourth person who knows about it in the future." ”

"As for the imperial court, for my brother to help you more, if it really doesn't work, I will hide this Hanzhou rebel army and keep my mouth shut, and mention that your rebel army has broken Jincheng."

In fact, Ye Ming's words are somewhat watery, Li Xin said these words to him, he may not tell outsiders, but he will definitely explain it to Ye Sheng, and this matter will become a secret and will be passed on within the Ye family.

Maybe one day it will be "useful".

The Marquis of Jing'an said with a smile: "Senior brother, don't panic, since I dare to do this, I am not afraid to say it, although this matter is not easy to report to the court in the open, but it doesn't hurt to let others know." ”

Ye Ming was puzzled.

"Why is that?"

"Because Your Majesty knows."

Li Xin smiled and said: "This matter is a deal between Your Majesty and the remnants of Nanshu, the remnants of Nanshu helped Your Majesty pacify the southwest, and Your Majesty gave them a legal identity, and from then on, they are no longer the remnants of Nanshu, but the people of the Great Jin." ”

"Thirty years have passed since the fall of Nanshu, and most of these people have no intention of recovering the country, they just want to live in peace, and after this incident, they can settle down in the southwest with peace of mind."

Ye Ming suddenly realized.

The general lowered his head and took a sip of wine, with a smile on his face: "I see, I said that Chang'an, with your cautious temperament, should not be able to do such a bold thing, since His Majesty is presiding over this matter behind his back, then we have nothing to fear, only hide the identity of their Nanshu remnants, say that it is the Hanzhou Righteous Army, and the others will be truthfully reported." ”

Li Xin said with a smile: "Senior brother is wise. ”

"The matter of the southwest, senior brother can report it to the imperial court?"

Ye Ming put down his wine glass and said with a smile: "Chang'an, the matter of your breaking Jincheng, after my brother received the news, he sent a letter to the capital as soon as possible, as for the specific details, you and I have to discuss it carefully before we can write the details and report it to the court." ”

Li Xin lowered his head and thought about it, and said slowly: "Calculating the time, if the senior brother uses six hundred miles to expedit, it will only take these two days, and the news of the southwest victory should be able to be sent to the capital." ”

Ye Ming patted Li Xin's shoulder and said with a smile: "As soon as this news arrives in the capital, Chang'an, your Jing'an Marquis Mansion, will be destined to be a prince for all generations." ”

Li Xin blinked and did not speak.

It is too difficult for a family to share weal and woe with a dynasty.

If the imperial court received the news of the war in the southwest, according to Li Xin's understanding of the Taikang Emperor, he would probably be...

Li Xin was thinking about the affairs of the capital, and Ye Ming on the side poured him a glass of wine, picked up the wine glass and touched a glass with Li Xin.

"There is one more thing, for my brother, I want to communicate with you in Chang'an."

Li Xin also picked up his wine glass, and both of them drank it all.

"Senior brother, please speak."

Li Xin said with a smile.

Ye Shaobao was silent for a while, and then said: "Brother Wei knows some things about you and Li Shen, he is your biological father, and now he is in prison, and entering the capital is a dead end." ”

Speaking of this, General Ye gritted his teeth.

"If Chang'an doesn't want Li Shen to enter Beijing, we can make a game and say that Li Shen is dead, so that you, the biological father, can at least save your life."

"Chang'an, what do you mean?"

Li Xin put down his wine glass and smiled.

"Senior brother, Li Shen has nothing to do with me, if I have this thought, how can I destroy the Pingnanhou Mansion with my own hands?"

"Let's send him to the capital, what will happen to him in the end is a matter for Your Majesty and your husband, and it has nothing to do with us."
