Chapter 445: Forced Marriage
In this year, names are useful.
Confucius once said that if the name is not right, the word will not be good, and if the word is not good, the thing will not be done.
The abolition of the crown prince is a big golden signboard, because although he was abolished in the court, in the eyes of the world, he was usurped by Emperor Taikang, so there are still many people who think he is orthodox.
Of course, this is not only a matter of reputation, but also a matter of interests, the abolished prince is a good investment object, as long as you can send charcoal in the snow at this time, in the future, the abolished prince "restored" to the throne, the return will definitely be a million profits.
Moreover, this investment does not have to end up by itself, as long as you secretly send money, food and even weapons to the Pingnan Army, you can achieve the effect of "investment", and you can still be a subject of the Great Jin Dynasty on the surface, so that even if the abolished prince is defeated, it will not affect anything.
That's why Li Xin said that the name of the abolished prince will gather a force.
Ye Ming lowered his head slightly, pondered for a while, and said: "This is a problem, but as long as Southern Xinjiang does not reach the capital, no one will fund them on the surface, as long as we win the first battle, the name of the abolished prince will be useless." ”
This is the difference between a business and a profession.
Although Li Xin has always been a military attache from beginning to end, when it comes to marching and fighting, he is still a lot worse than Ye Ming, a general who has led troops for decades.
"Senior brother has already won the true inheritance of Master Ye."
Ye Ming shook his head and said with a wry smile: "I'm still far away from my father, and besides, it's just talking on paper at the moment, and when it really starts, the battlefield is changing rapidly, and no one knows what will happen." ”
The three of them pushed the cup and changed the lamp, and before the meal was finished, they had already talked about the major events in southern Xinjiang.
The reality is like this, sometimes the lives of thousands of people are settled only in the conversation and laughter of a big man's meal.
In the afternoon, Li Xin got up to take his leave.
Ye Sheng nodded, sat still in place, Ye Ming got up to send him off, and sent Li Xin all the way to the door of the Guogong Mansion, Li Xin bowed to him and said: "Senior brother doesn't need to send it, it's a long journey, go and rest." ”
Ye Ming pulled Li Xin's sleeve and lowered his voice: "Senior brother, I heard my father say that Mao'er is likely to lead a folding mansion under you?" ”
Li Xin was stunned for a moment, and then smiled and said: "This is just a blind guess by the little brother, and the specific ones will have to wait for the news from the internal guards who went to the north, but if those Northern Zhou families really dare to openly rebel against the imperial court, then the little grandfather is the best person to come out to deal with them, and when the time comes, they will inevitably lead a folding mansion in the forbidden army, and the little grandfather on the left camp of the forbidden army is not familiar, so it is estimated that he will choose someone in the right camp of the younger brother." ”
Jing Anhou said meaningfully: "In the entire capital, except for the Ye family, no one dares to take this errand, and only your Ye family can take this errand." ”
Ye Ming frowned slightly.
"Senior brother, my brother has been away from the court for all these years, and I don't know much about the current court situation, please advise my junior brother, if Mao'er takes this errand, what should I do?"
"Kill what should be killed, and catch it."
Li Xin bowed his head and said: "Everything is according to Your Majesty's will, that is, to let Your Majesty know that the Ye family is obedient, so that although the little grandfather will be scolded for a period of time in the future, his road will be much smoother in the future." ”
Ye Ming took a deep breath, lowered his head and said, "Thank you, junior brother, for my brother to know." ”
………
The two families were not far away, and after Li Xin left Chen Guogong's mansion, he did not get into his carriage, but walked on the street of Yongle Fang with his hands in his hands, exhaling heavily, wanting to volatilize the alcohol on his body.
He'd drunk too much just now, and he's a bit of a head at this point.
But in any case, this meeting was a success.
Because of this Ye Shaobao, Li Xin didn't have much contact, he didn't know what Ye Ming's attitude towards him was, as the second task of the Ye family, if Ye Ming and Li Xin didn't deal with each other, then there would be a crack in the cooperation between the Jing'an Hou Mansion and the Chen Guogong Mansion.
Fortunately, Ye Ming and his father are still of the same mind.
When he walked slowly to the Pingnan Marquis Mansion, the smell of wine on Li Xin's body had already dissipated a little, and before he entered the house, he saw a little eunuch waiting at the door of his house.
Li Xin shook his head helplessly, stepped forward and said, "Father-in-law Xiao." ”
The upstart of the inner chamberlain bent down and saluted, and said respectfully: "Master Hou, Your Majesty invites you to enter the palace." ”
Lee's confidence was very uncomfortable.
He had just drunk too much and wanted to go home and sleep.
If people have a career, they will become very busy, and the most annoying thing is such a social interaction that can't be pushed off.
Marquis Li smiled bitterly and arched his hand: "Please father-in-law later, I will go and change my clothes, and I will go to the palace with my father-in-law." ”
"Master Hou, hurry up."
Xiao Zheng lowered his eyebrows and said, "The slave has been waiting here for a while, I'm afraid that Your Majesty will be in a hurry." ”
Li Xin nodded, went home and changed into a serious lilac regular clothes, washed up again, and then followed Xiao Zheng into the palace.
By the time I arrived at Weiyang Palace, it was already close to evening.
Taikang Tianzi was flipping through the book in the study, Li Xin waited with his hands down, and after a while, the Son of Heaven looked up and saw Li Xin, and hurriedly beckoned Li Xin to come over.
The Son of Heaven said angrily to Xiao Zhengbo: "Chang'an is here, why don't you come in and report?" ”
Xiao Zheng was terrified and hurriedly knelt on the ground.
"Your Majesty, you said earlier that you are not allowed to disturb when dealing with political affairs, so the slave maid ......"
The Son of Heaven raised his brows when he heard this.
"You're going to talk back? Go get twenty mouths yourself! ”
Xiao Zheng knelt down and kowtowed, bowed his head and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty." ”
Li Xin took a step forward, bowed his head and said, "Your Majesty, the minister didn't wait long, so there is no need to embarrass Father-in-law Xiao......"
Only then did the Son of Heaven wave his hand.
"That's it, Chang'an has pleaded for you, you can go down."
Xiao Zheng hurriedly retreated.
The Son of Heaven beckoned, motioned for Li Xin to come closer, and both of them sat down.
Taikang Tianzi closed the book in his hand, threw it aside, and then sighed leisurely: "Chang'an, what day is today?" ”
Li Xin bowed his head and said: "The first year of Taikang, October 23. ”
"In the blink of an eye, it's been almost a year since I ascended the throne."
The Son of Heaven sighed faintly.
Their mutiny last year was on the tenth day of the lunar month of the eighteenth year of Chengde, counting the days, it was indeed almost a year.
Li Xin didn't know what Taikang Tianzi meant by this, so he bowed his head when he heard the words and said, "It's been almost a year." ”
The Son of Heaven said gloomily: "It's been almost a year since my father passed away. ”
Li Xin was silent.
After the Son of Heaven sighed, a smile appeared on his face.
"But people always have to look forward, you and Xiao Jiu are past the age of marriage, a year after the death of your father, the two of you can get married, you go to Kunde Palace tomorrow, say hello to the queen mother, and then mention this matter, the queen mother is approved, I will say hello to the Ministry of Rites and the Zongfu, and the marriage can start to prepare."
Li moved slightly in confidence.
Now that the war in southern Xinjiang is about to start, the Son of Heaven does not focus on the war, how can he think that the marriage is coming?
Li Xin lowered his eyebrows and said, "Your Majesty, ...... over there in southern Xinjiang."
The Son of Heaven smiled: "Even if the sky falls, you should get married, you have to get married, I have calculated, even if Southern Xinjiang starts up tomorrow, you will have time to get married." ”
The emperor had said this, and Li Xin had no way to refuse, so he took a deep breath and slowly lowered his head.
"Minister, obey ......"
