Whether to rebel or not is a question that Li Xin has been considering in recent years.

With his knowledge of nearly a thousand years ahead of the world, coupled with the family foundation accumulated in more than ten years, if he wants to rebel wholeheartedly at this time, there is actually a great opportunity, and he will slowly fight the Jianmen Pass based on the southwest, if it goes well, it will be five or six years, and if it doesn't go well, it will be ten or twenty years, and he will be able to slowly subvert the Great Jin Dynasty.

When he first came to this world, he was far from having the same mind as he has now, and at that time, he even just wanted to find a way to live for himself, with a little more comfort.

Over the years, with the change of identity, his mind has also changed little by little, until the beginning of this year, when he wrote to ask the Son of Heaven to abolish the pro-government, and when the Son of Heaven shook his head and refused, Li Xin finally understood that the contradiction between himself and the imperial power was impossible to alleviate.

When he left the southwest, he told Mu Ying that he would enter Beijing once and for all to solve the contradictions with the imperial court, and at that time he had already made up his mind to do something he should do.

Facing General Ye's question, Li Xin was only silent for a while, and then slowly exhaled a breath.

"Senior brother, what do I think?"

"It's simple."

Ye Ming put both hands in his sleeves and said: "There are two roads in front of you, the first is that you hand over the recipe of the heavenly thunder at this time, and then leave the affairs of the southwest, it is best to let the southwest surrender to the imperial court, you and the eldest princess, hide in the Jing'an Hou Mansion in the capital, like my father, for decades." ”

"From now on, everything in the outside world has nothing to do with you, whether it is the life or death of those people in the southwest Mu family, or their life and death, you don't have to ask, hide in the Hou Mansion, ignore the things outside the window, and enjoy peace of mind."

This is actually what Chen Guogong Ye Sheng did back then.

At that time, he returned to the dynasty from the victory of the Northern Zhou Kingdom, the strong and suspicious Emperor Wu was still in power, Ye Sheng in order to avoid trouble, and in order to ensure the safety of his brothers, he took the initiative to hand over all the military power in his hands, and obediently hid in his Chen Guogong Mansion.

Even when the old ministry that followed Ye Sheng on the northern expedition was suppressed and excluded by the imperial court, he could only ignore what was going on outside the window and pretend not to know anything.

Li Xin's other teacher, Wang Zhong, is Ye Sheng's Northern Expedition to the Old Department, he joined Yulinwei as a school captain, and after working in Yulinwei for thirty years, he is still only a school captain.

Therefore, at the 80th birthday banquet of Old Man Ye, Wang Zhong brought seventeen old brothers to Chen Guogong's Mansion to see him, and Old Man Ye was so happy, and within two days, he died.

For decades, this Ye Shuai has always felt ashamed in his heart, and after that day, he felt that his old brothers were still thinking about him, and he didn't blame him, so he closed his eyes with peace of mind.

After Ye Ming paused, he continued: "It's just that after doing this, whether your brothers in the southwest are dead, or what happens to you and the eldest princess in the future, you can't blame anyone, after all, the road was chosen by yourself." ”

Li Xin grinned reluctantly.

"Master Ye's old department, is it dead?"

"It's dead."

"Back then, my father handed over the military power, and most of the old brothers who fought with him handed over the power together, and then entered the court as an official, and in the ten years after the Northern Expedition, my father commanded fifteen generals, and rarely had a good end."

General Ye sat down with an expressionless face: "My father, Hou Yong, the former pioneer of the battle, has made countless meritorious contributions, and after returning to Beijing, he is only a lifelong marquis, and his son Hou Jingde is only a general of Yulin Weizuolang when he is forty years old. ”

"The fourth elder of my Ye family is only the general of Yulin Weizhong."

"After the Northern Expedition, the Ye family and my father's old ministry were suppressed by two generations of emperors, so there is the Chen Guogong who has a great reputation and very little power that you see."

Speaking of this, he glanced at Li Xin and said indifferently: "If it weren't for you Li Chang'an, Hou Jingde's family and the next generation, he would have to fall into the middle of the family, most likely it would be the life of an errand in Yulinwei, and my Ye family would not be much better. ”

"The fourth child is estimated to be a four-grade and three-grade general for the rest of his life, and then the next generation will be about the same."

"It was you who suddenly broke into the chaos in the capital, and suddenly disrupted all this, and you took His Royal Highness the King of Wei back then, which changed this situation, and it was also your appearance that made my father see some turnarounds."

Speaking of this, General Ye glanced at Li Xin lightly.

"Otherwise, how could you, who were only sixteen or seventeen years old at the time, say that my father would have taken the Ye family into that dangerous seizure of the heir, relying on the sword of Xuantong?"

Ye Ming smiled disdainfully: "When Chong Xuantong sees my father, he also wants to kowtow." ”

In just a few words, Li Xin was in a cold sweat when he heard it.

Li Xin only remembers that he was left and right, and helped the Wei Mansion to get the help of Hou Jingde and the Ye family, so as to help His Royal Highness the King of Wei become a dark horse in the chaos of the succession and stand out.

In the following years, Li Xin recalled the succession and couldn't help but feel a little complacent.

It wasn't until this time, hearing Ye Ming's words, that he understood how lucky he was back then!

At that time, it was the Ye family, or the Ye family, that was suppressed to the extreme, if they didn't make any moves, in the next generation, they would lose their identity as generals, and then slowly disappear into the core of power in the Great Jin.

At this time, Li Xin entered with His Royal Highness King Wei, just in time to catch up.

So, Old Man Ye bet on His Royal Highness King Wei, which led to the later Renchen Palace Change, the three heroes of Conglong, and the rise of the Ye family and the Hou family again!

Thinking of this, Li Xin reached out and wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said with a wry smile: "As soon as the senior brother said this, the junior brother suddenly woke up, more than ten years ago, it was not me who threaded the needle, but just caught up with the ...... at the right time."

"If it weren't for this luck, the little brother would have melted all the bones at this time."

"At that time, Chang'an, you were only sixteen or seventeen years old, and it was already amazing to have that courage."

"After the change of Renchen Palace, the Ye family and the Hou family, including the Northern Expedition family, have improved a little, the old man is very happy, and he is very grateful to you."

"After that, the old man recognized you as a disciple."

Ye Ming glanced at Li Xin and said indifferently: "Otherwise, at your age in Chang'an, you can only deign to be a student for your brother." ”

The Marquis of Jing'an sat opposite Ye Ming and let out a long breath: "Senior brother's words, the situation back then suddenly became clearer, at that time the junior brother was still a child, and there were too many poor Ye masters. ”

He smiled wryly.

"It is estimated that my eloquent talk in front of Master Ye at that time was as ridiculous as a child in his eyes."

"The old man likes you very much."

Ye Ming said slowly: "In the early years of Taikang, I was still a general in Jimen Pass, and the old man wrote me several letters, each of which mentioned your name in Chang'an. ”

Speaking of this, Ye Ming sighed.

"Speaking of which, in the past ten years, you have done a lot of filial piety in front of the old man in Chang'an, and those of us who are sons can't compare to you."

Speaking of his late mentor, Li Xin sighed and didn't say anything more.

General Ye knocked on the table with his hand and continued: "Take the first way, the best situation is probably like the old man, even so, the old man is still a little uneasy in his heart, and he has been addicted to alcohol for decades. ”

Ye Ming exhaled slowly: "When his old man was in the army, he didn't drink much. ”

Before Ye Sheng's death, he was short-tempered, he loved to drink, and he liked to beat people, but now that he thinks about it, it is indeed because he is uneasy in his heart.

The Marquis of Jing'an lowered his head slightly, and after being silent for a while, he spoke: "So ......"

"Senior brother wants me to choose the second path?"
