The Ye family is a towering tree, as Ye Sheng said, even if Li Xin does not move at all in the next few years, with his relationship with the Ye family, with Ye Guogong on top, Li Xin can enjoy the shade below with peace of mind.

To be objective, today's Jing'an Hou Mansion is actually a big tree, but this big tree is relatively deformed, and it is not as healthy as the Ye family.

The tree of the Marquis of Jing'an, theoretically speaking, is not much shorter than the Ye family, after all, Li Xin has the bonus of the new dynasty, and the love with the Son of Heaven, in this regard, he can do even more than the Ye family.

The tree is tall, but it's too thin.

Only Li Xin is supported by such a sharp tip in the highest place, and if he has the slightest problem, this big tree will die suddenly, which is far less stable than the Ye family.

The current situation is that Li Xin can indeed be as Ye Sheng said, keep a low profile for a few years, bury his head in giving birth to children, eating, drinking and having fun, and try to make himself less conspicuous, but the problem is that Ye Sheng is already over seventy years old, and if you talk about it in detail, he is seventy-six years old this year.

No one knows how long Ye Sheng can live, if Li Xin doesn't have his own connections in the court, as soon as Ye Sheng leaves, he will be manipulated by others.

After staying at the Ye family for a whole afternoon, Li Xin got up to say goodbye, Ye Sheng opened his mouth and wanted to keep him down for dinner, Li Xin said with a smile: "Master Ye, there are still two troubles to deal with in the disciple's family, and when these two troubles are dealt with, I will come to the Ye family to ask Master Ye for peace." ”

"And at this time, there should be a lot of people watching the movements of the disciples, and the disciples have been in the Ye family for a long time, and they are not very good to the Ye family."

After he returned to the capital, although he looked calm and quiet, and the rewards of the imperial court had not yet come down, he didn't know how many pairs of eyes were looking at him behind his back, and the one with the largest opening was the current Taikang Tianzi.

Old man Ye pondered the meaning of Li Xin's words for a moment, and then nodded slightly: "That's good, your mind is calm, and you don't need the old man to explain anything more about some things, you can just do it yourself." ”

Ye Sheng sent Li Xin to the gate of the courtyard, and then reached out and patted him on the shoulder.

"Boy, the higher you stand, the more careful you have to be, you are proud of your youth, the next thing is to think about living longer, it is best to live to the age of the old man."

Li Xin looked at Ye Sheng deeply.

"Master Ye's instructions, the disciples remember them."

When the Marquis of Jing'an got up again, he smiled at Old Man Ye: "The disciple also has a suggestion to the teacher, if the teacher is free, you might as well write a letter to Senior Brother Xiao Ye, and ask him to go back to the capital to take a look when the Chinese New Year is celebrated this year." ”

Senior Brother Xiao Ye is the youngest son of Old Man Ye, Li Xin's former boss Ye Lan.

The eighteenth year of Chengde is the year of Renchen, so what happened in the winter of that year is also known as the Renchen Palace Change.

After the change in Renchen Palace, Ye Lan was named the Marquis of Ningling and was sent to Jimen Pass to assist his brother Ye Ming in guarding Jimen Pass, after Ye Ming was transferred back to the capital, Ye Ling should now be in charge of Jimen Pass.

The meaning of Li Xin's words was to ask Ye Sheng to write a letter to call Ye Lan back to the capital from the north.

First, Ye Lan has not returned to Beijing for three years, and he really needs to come back to take a look, and second, he comes to the imperial court... Or that Taikang Tianzi was obviously a little jealous of the Ye family, Li Xin asked Ye Ling to come back, which meant that he wanted Ye Ming to leave the capital earlier.

Ye Sheng glanced at Li Xin and asked, "Chang'an ......"

Li Xin lowered his eyebrows and said, "Senior Brother Xiao Ye has returned to Beijing, so Senior Brother Ye has a reason to leave the capital as soon as possible." ”

"That's all the disciple says......"

……………………

After returning to the Jing'an Hou Mansion, it was almost dark, and the eldest princess welcomed Li Xin in and asked, "Why did you come back so late, did you eat?" ”

Li Xin shook his head and said with a smile: "I didn't eat it, I rushed home to eat with His Highness." ”

The eldest princess glared at Li Xin and said in a low voice, "Don't call me Your Highness in the future." ”

Li Xin was surprised: "What is that called?" ”

"Yesterday was what it was called, today it is ......"

Only then did Li Xin remember that he should have called the eldest princess Mrs. yesterday.

He smiled.

"Madam, go to dinner with your husband?"

The ninth princess snorted lightly, lowered her head and said, "It's all ready, waiting for you......"

After a simple meal, Li Xin asked the eldest princess to go back to the courtyard to rest first, while he came to the backyard alone.

In the backyard, Deng Feng, a black-clothed Yulinwei, was waiting for Li Xin, and after seeing Li Xin coming, he bowed his head deeply: "Master Hou." ”

Li Xin patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "I'm sorry for you, I haven't been able to go home when I go back to the capital, and I have to work in my house for a few days." ”

Most of these Yu Linwei are from the Gyeonggi area, and they have not returned home for more than a year, and after Li Xin returned to Beijing, he let those who were far away from home go home first, leaving more than 60 people by his side to listen to them.

Deng Feng said respectfully: "Hou Ye is polite, and the humble rank is at the command of Hou Ye at any time." ”

"Where is His Royal Highness King Qin?"

"In the courtyard at the back, the lowly officials watched it deadly, and the food was also delivered by the lowly officials themselves after testing the poison, so there would be no problem."

Li Xin nodded and continued to ask, "What about that person?" ”

"That person" is naturally referring to Li Shen.

"It's also in the backyard, but in the other yard, the lowly ones are also very well guarded."

Li Xin lowered his head and muttered for a while, then said, "Take me to see His Royal Highness King Qin." ”

"Yes."

Although this is in his own Jing'an Hou Mansion, but because this mansion is too big, there are many courtyards in the backyard, so he is not particularly familiar with it, and it is under the guidance of Deng Feng and others that he walked to the door of this courtyard.

"Master Hou, His Royal Highness King Qin is inside."

Li Xin nodded, walked inside, and the two Yulin guards who were guarding the door saw Li Xin coming over, and immediately made a way.

Li Xin pushed the door high and walked in.

Although it was already night, it was not late at night after all, as soon as Li Xin pushed the door, there was immediate movement in the yard, and soon a fat man walked out of the courtyard, and after looking up and seeing that it was Li Xin, he immediately saluted Li Xin.

"Master Li, you're finally here......"

Li Xin returned the salute and said with a smile: "His Royal Highness King Qin, tonight, I will send you to King Qin's Mansion to meet your family." ”

The fat man was stunned and said, "Really? ”

"Naturally, it's true, I have already communicated with Your Majesty, and now the person in charge of guarding the Qin Wangfu should also be Yu Linwei's person, and the Qin Wangfu is also in Yongle Fang, I can send you to see your family soon."

The fat man took a deep breath and said to Li Xinzuo, "There is Master Lao." ”

Li Xin was silent for a while, took out a small porcelain bottle from his sleeve, and handed it to the fat man.

"Your Highness, you can go back to the Qin Palace, but you only have three days, and within three days, you will fulfill the previous agreement between the two of us."

"If Your Highness is unwilling, then after three days, not only will Your Highness's side be unhappy, but I will also lose my promise in front of Your Majesty."

After listening to Li Xin's words, the fat man seemed to be drained of his strength in an instant, and his whole person fell.

Although it was said in advance, he would inevitably be scared when it came to the end.

He trembled and took the porcelain vase in Li Xin's hand, bowed his head and said, "I...... I see. ”

"Hou Ye Li, don't forget what you promised me......"
