Since Mu Ying is back, the Shu Wangfu will naturally be lively, and in the evening, Zhao Jia was also invited from the palace to the Shu Wangfu to eat, but there were not too many people at the dinner table, just a small table, only the three of them sat on the table, seven or eight side dishes, and two pots of spirits sold from the capital.

Mu Ying is the main family, and took the initiative to stand up and help Li Xin and Zhao Jia pour full wine, then sat down and said, "When does Master Hou plan to enter Beijing?" ”

Just now, he already roughly knew what was going on in the capital from Li Xin, and he also understood that at this time, the southwest must be mixed into the chaos in the capital, so the current question is not whether to enter Beijing, but when to enter Beijing, and how to ensure Li Xin's safety.

Now, a few of them already have the basic plate of the southwest in their hands, as long as Li Xin is still there, the southwest can be condensed into one, whether it is Zhao Jia or Li Shuo, they will do things in the southwest in a down-to-earth manner, so whether they can get the maximum benefits in the capital is not the most important, the most important thing is to ensure Li Xin's personal safety.

If Li Xin dies in the capital, or is imprisoned in the capital, then Li Shuo in Ningzhou is estimated to be suspicious of the Mu family in a short time, and Zhao Jia is unlikely to continue to govern in the southwest, Li Xin is a prerequisite for the southwest to be able to resist the imperial court.

The Marquis of Jing'an raised his glass, toasted the two friends, and after drinking, he said: "There is already definite news sent from the capital, and the little emperor is indeed in big trouble. ”

Speaking of this, he smiled: "And in the afternoon, I also met Ji Huan's son in the Shu Palace, this former fourth highness, he still refused to give up after more than ten years, and he wanted to mix it when he smelled the smell of meat, and he didn't weigh how many catties and taels he had left." ”

As soon as his words fell, Zhao Jia said without hesitation: "Even if the Hou Ye wants to choose a clan, King Qi will definitely not consider it, Emperor Jing has a son, and he has many sons, this kind of prince of the previous generation has long been forgotten by the government and the opposition, ten years ago he may still have a chance to fight, and now there is still this kind of delusion, part-time is a fool's dream." ”

"Even if it is the youngest son of Emperor Jing, it is much easier to use than His Royal Highness King Qi."

Taikang Tianzi has a total of eight sons, Yuan Zhao Tianzi is the eldest son-in-law and the eldest son, and the youngest son has just turned four years old this year.

"I didn't think about anything to do with Ji Huan."

The Marquis of Jing'an said with a smile: "This guy is talented but not virtuous, when he was the prince, he was narrow-minded, and he still has an enmity with me, he can live to this day, it is purely the benevolence of the first emperor, in other words, I am the first emperor, and he is also dead now." ”

In fact, when Taikang Tianzi was alive, he also thought about doing something to several of his brothers, and even began to take action, but Taikang suddenly got sick in the fifth year, so he put his mind on the southwest and northern Xinjiang, and no longer put the brothers who took the heir in his eyes.

Li Xin ate a few bites of food and continued: "At present, the situation in the capital is still under the control of the emperor, but he is ruthless and kills, and there is no government, it will not take long for those ministers to take the initiative. ”

The biggest problem of the Son of Heaven of Yuan Zhao is that he has not yet been pro-government, has no legal ruling power, and cannot control the court situation, he is now in control of the capital, all relying on the three guards in his hands, this kind of Son of Heaven's pro-army is independent of the court and is not subject to the court.

But if it takes a long time, Jin Wuwei, Jingzhao Mansion, the Imperial City Soldiers and Horses, and even the forbidden army outside the city may shake the camp, and then it will be the time when the throne of the Son of Heaven is really unstable.

The forces of all parties in the entire capital are complicated, and after Ye Lan left the capital and went to Hanzhong, the military department also fell into the hands of civilian officials.

And...... At this time, the forces behind the princes of the capital may have begun to contact Shen Kuan, and for another month, if the Son of Heaven does not kill, he will not be able to deter people's hearts.

Zhao Jia groaned: "Master Hou is still waiting and seeing? ”

"Let's see if the heads of the two families of the Seed Family and the Ye Family will return to Beijing."

Li Xin said indifferently: "Northern Xinjiang is not very peaceful now, and the probability of Chong Xuantong returning to Beijing is not high, but his eldest son, Chong Wu, the deputy general of Yunzhou City, may return to Beijing to preside over the seed family, and my Senior Brother Ye ......"

After being silent for a while, the Marquis of Jing'an spoke: "Senior Brother Ye is a literati in his bones, respecting his elders and orthodoxy, he may return to Beijing from Ningling to support the emperor, but it is ......"

When he said this, he didn't continue to speak, and silently took a sip of wine.

Zhao Jia sighed slightly, and then Li Xin's words continued.

"But the emperor may not believe him."

Li Xin smiled and raised his wine glass.

"Say no more, drink."

………………

When Li Xin was drinking in Jincheng, a cyan carriage entered the city from the west gate of the capital, and after the carriage entered the city, it drove straight to Yongle Fang, and finally stopped at the main gate of Chen Guogong's mansion, and then an old man in an ordinary cloth clothes walked down from the carriage.

After the old man walked into the Guogong Mansion, the subordinates of the Guogong Mansion immediately saluted him respectfully.

"Welcome Grandpa home."

The old man is naturally the current Chen Guogong Ye Ming.

Ye Sheng, the old prince, died of illness at the turn of the spring and summer of the eighth year of Taikang, and more than two and a half years have passed since then, and there are still a few months left, and Ye Ming has been in Ningling for three years.

According to his temper, it is unlikely that he will leave Ningling even if it is a big thing, but such a big thing happened in the capital, which still alarmed this old man who was guarding filial piety in Ningling's hometown.

After Ye Ming returned to Chen Guogong's mansion, he changed into a plain white regular clothes, got back into the inconspicuous carriage, and slowly spoke: "Go to the palace." ”

The subordinate immediately drove and took him to the gate of Yong'an Gate.

After the report, Ye Ming soon met the Son of Heaven in Weiyang Palace.

He is the head of the Ye family, in terms of military status, he is even higher than Li Xin, and he is the son of the most influential people in the entire Great Jin Dynasty.

After entering Weiyang Palace, Ye Ming, whose hair was already half white, was about to kneel on the ground and salute the little emperor.

Yuan Zhao Tianzi hurriedly raised his hand and said, "The old prince is old, so there is no need to be polite. ”

"Xiao Zheng, bring a chair to the old man."

Ye Ming is only a teenager when he is younger, and he is sixty-five years old this year.

He has aged very quickly in recent years, and his face is full of furrows, and he can clearly see his old age.

After Ye Ming sat down, Yuan Zhao Tianzi glanced at the old man with some caution, and said, "The old prince entered the palace to see me at this time, I don't know if it's ......."

Ye Ming took a deep breath and said, "Old minister...... At this time, he was supposed to be in Ningling to keep filial piety with his father, but when he heard that something was wrong in the capital, he rushed back to the capital to take a look. ”

"Although the old minister is old and his body is not as good as before, he is still somewhat useful."

As he spoke, he glanced up at the emperor, lowered his head again, and took a deep breath: "Your Majesty, is there anything you need for the service of the old minister?" ”

The implication is that it is inconvenient for the Son of Heaven to kill, and he can help the Son of Heaven kill people.

The little emperor sat on the imperial throne and looked at the white-haired general in front of him, his hands trembled slightly.
