On the eleventh day of the first month of Taikang, the Son of Heaven officially issued an edict to marry Li Changan, Marquis of Jing'an, and Princess Qinghe.

From the beginning, the first emperor wanted to watch the ninth princess marry before he died, so on the day of the first emperor's death, he issued an edict to the first emperor's spirit in the sky.

Although it was a bit far-fetched, this statement finally made sense, so the day after the edict was issued, the whole capital began to be busy preparing for this marriage.

All the subordinates in the Jing'an Hou Mansion were busy, buying things, arranging the place, and then preparing marriage books and other things, Chen Sixteen's daughter-in-law Xiao Hui, as the director of the Jing'an Hou Mansion, was busy with her feet on the ground.

Even Chen Sixteen's mother and sister Chu Qi were called into the Jing'an Hou Mansion to help in the mansion.

In this way, there are still not enough people, so Xiao Hui temporarily called some people from other places to help decorate the Jing'an Hou Mansion.

And Li Xin, as the protagonist, left the Jing'an Hou Mansion after receiving the holy decree, and he didn't know where to go, as if the busyness here had nothing to do with him.

In the afternoon of the same day, Jinling City finally ushered in a heavy snowfall.

By evening, the snow was already falling.

Li Xin didn't help in the Jing'an Hou Mansion, in fact, he didn't know anything about those trivial etiquette, on this snowy night, he was in the Chen Guogong Mansion, sitting across the table from the old Guogong Ye Sheng, and a pot of wine was boiling next to the table.

Li Xin poured a glass of steaming liquor for Old Man Ye, then spat out white air in his mouth and poured himself half a glass.

He wasn't much of a drinker, but a glass of spirits warmed up on such snowy nights.

On a cold and snowy night, it is undoubtedly a very elegant thing to be able to cook wine in the house.

Old man Ye squinted his eyes and took a sip of wine, then opened his mouth and asked, "Is there enough people over there in your house?" ”

"Pretty much."

Li Xin put down his wine glass and exhaled: "I should be reluctantly busy, but on the day of the wedding, Master Ye needs to send some reliable people to help." ”

"This is natural."

Ye Sheng raised his head and drank the remaining half of the cup of hot wine in one gulp, then reached out and poured himself another glass, he held the wine glass in his hand, and then looked up at Li Xin.

"Ye Mao is on his way back."

Li Xin also poured himself a glass of wine and said with a smile: "This disciple knows, I heard that he did not kill those Northern Zhou clans, but brought most of them back. ”

Ye Sheng took a deep breath and said, "It's because of this, Your Majesty's anger has not come out of his heart, I'm afraid he will be a little unhappy." ”

"No, it won't."

Li Xin said with a smile: "Although Your Majesty is very angry with the Northern Zhou clan, but anger is such a thing, when you calm down, it will naturally dissipate most of it, and Ye Mao killed half of the people, which is enough to offset the anger in Your Majesty's heart." ”

Speaking of this, Li Xin paused, and said with a smile: "It's just that Fan Yang Lu clan, I'm afraid I can't run away from this knife." ”

Ye Sheng ate a few mouthfuls of food, and said in a sullen voice: "There is no need to be so troublesome, there is no difference between killing half of the people and killing them all, Ye Mao has already made a move, does he still expect those Northern Zhou clans with nostrils on their heads to be grateful to him in the future?" ”

Li Xin lowered his head and took a sip of wine, and then said slowly: "This point, the disciple didn't understand for a while, but there is also a Zhao Jia by Ye Mao's side, they must have their reasons for doing this, and when they enter Beijing, the truth will be revealed." ”

Ye Guogong was silent, and finally sighed.

"That's it, children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, and I don't need to worry so much about an old man."

"You kid put down the affairs of his Hou Mansion today, and ran over to find the old man, won't you come over to have a drink with the old man?"

"There is one thing I want to ask Master Ye."

Li Xin bent down again and poured Ye Sheng a glass of wine, then sat down and spoke slowly.

"Master Ye, if the Pingnan Army goes out of Shu and wants to enter Jinling City, is it possible?"

"Absolutely impossible."

Ye Sheng shook his head firmly: "Don't say that Li Shen, who has not fought much in a big battle, even if his son Li Zhijie is still alive, it is impossible to use the Pingnan Army to fight in the capital." ”

"But they've put up the flag."

Li Xin took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "About half a month ago, Li Shen had officially called the abolished prince and wanted to crusade against the imperial court......"

Before Ye Sheng could answer, Li Xin's heart suddenly moved.

This Jing'an Hou closed his eyes and thought for a while, then muttered to himself.

"I figured it out."

In the past two days, this question has been bothering Li Xin's mind, and he can't understand why Li Shen is acting like this, but after discussing it with Ye Sheng, this question suddenly became clear in his heart.

Old man Ye was carrying a wine jug, his face calm.

"What do you think?"

"Li Shen erected the flag and did not send troops, not to attack the imperial court, but to force the imperial court to take the initiative to attack them."

"The army of the imperial court was forced into the territory of Shu County, which is known as the 100,000 mountains, and the Pingnan army had a chance of winning."

This intention is obvious from God's point of view, but if you are in the bureau and can only glimpse a corner of the place, it is difficult to understand that the reason why Li Xin was able to figure it out at this time was largely due to the information handed back by Mu Ying.

But it's useless to figure it out.

Because it's a conspiracy.

As long as the banner of the abolished prince is erected, the imperial court will have to defeat this force as quickly as possible, and if the imperial court can't do it, then the prestige of the imperial court will decay at the greatest speed.

Ye Sheng pondered for a moment, and also figured out the taste, and then the gray-haired old man Ye shook his head, a little helpless.

"Li Shen is really remarkable, a seemingly inconspicuous waste prince, who has been used by him to the extreme."

At this time, Li Xin had already calmed down, and he lowered his eyebrows and said: "Li Shen can use this kind of public opinion as a means, and we can naturally do it, besides, the disciple has buried the line in the southern Xinjiang, so there is no way to take him at all." ”

The line in Li Xin's hand is the Mu family and those remnants of Nanshu.

Over the years, the remnants of Nanshu have hated the Ji family of the Great Jin Dynasty the most, and now Li Shen, the Marquis of Pingnan, not only did not help them restore the country, but also wanted to help the "prince" of the Ji family, and these remnants naturally would not be willing.

Even if His Royal Highness Li Xing is responsible, the remnants of Nanshu will have some dissatisfaction in their hearts.

This is the flaw in Nanshu that Li Xin can see at present.

Old man Ye pulled Li Xin to sit down, and said with a smile: "Okay, these things shouldn't be thought about for the time being, the top priority now is that you have to marry the princess well, as for the affairs of southern Xinjiang, at least it is a matter of the end of the New Year." ”

Li Xin blinked and looked at the old man.

"Master Ye guess, can Senior Brother Ye accompany you for this year?"

Ye Sheng glanced at Li Xin angrily.

"Which pot is not opened, which pot is mentioned."
