No matter how the situation in the world changes, and how the Ye family stands in line, it will not affect the friendship between Li Xin and the Ye family, after all, even if everything is put aside, Li Xin and the Ye family will always have a personal relationship.

Therefore, for Ye Xuan's arrival, Li Xin was quite concerned, let people prepare the wine and food early, and after entering Li Xin's temporary residence in Gaocheng, the subordinates quickly brought the wine and food, and after the dishes were served, Li Xin waved his hand and retreated everyone, leaving only the two brothers and sisters, sitting opposite each other at a low table.

Li Xin stretched out his hand, poured a glass of wine for Ye Lan, then poured it to himself, and asked: "The younger brother has been busy with the affairs of the southwest in the past few months, I heard that Ye Mao and the imperial court have a very unpleasant quarrel, and he still refuses to return to Beijing, I don't know what is going on?" ”

"It's still not good."

Ye Lan and Li Xin touched a cup, and said helplessly: "The imperial court does not allow Ye Mao to recruit troops in northern Xinjiang, he has no way to reorganize the Zhenbei Army, most of them feel very uncomfortable, so he simply stayed in Yancheng to stay and take care of the remaining wounded of the Zhenbei Army. ”

When Li Xin went north to fight against the Xianbei people, Ye Mao charged into battle and was indeed a little injured, but he was physically strong, and he was trained by the old man Ye since he was a child.

Ye Mao is a very short-tempered person, according to his temperament, if he didn't have the relatively large Ye family behind him to stumble, most of them would have gone to the southwest with Li Xin to be a thief, and he would never be able to stand this grievance.

But helplessly, Ye Mao is not alone, his family and the fourth uncle Ye Lan's family are all in the capital, plus for decades, there are countless people related to the Ye family, Ye Mao can't harm them no matter what.

That's why he gritted his teeth and accepted this holy decree, and then hid in the north and refused to come back.

And the reason why he refused to return to Beijing was mostly because he felt that the Zhenbei Army was in decline in his hands, and he had no face to return to Beijing to face his heavenly fathers and ancestors.

"His temper has become a little stubborn."

Li Xin smiled and touched a glass with Ye Luan, and said: "But it's not a big deal, right now my southwest army is the thorn in the eyes of the imperial court, with me, a person who is extremely guilty of crimes, in front, the imperial court will only appease the Chen Guogong Mansion, and will not turn against the Ye family." ”

At present, the situation in the imperial court is already very difficult, in this case, the imperial court must make every effort to deal with the southwest, and everything else can be put aside, besides, the Ye family has a huge reputation among the court and the opposition, even if the Son of Heaven wants to attack the Ye family, he must weigh the interests behind it.

Ye Xuan took a sip of wine, and then looked at Li Xin.

"Chang'an, you... What's going on in your heart? ”

Li Xin picked up the wine jug, poured it full for Ye Luan, and then said with a smile: "So far, isn't everyone aware of the younger brother's thoughts?" ”

Ye Lan said in a sullen voice: "You want to be the emperor? ”

Li Xin shook his head.

"I want to change the emperor."

Ye Lan sighed slightly.

He was silent for a while, bowed his head and said: "Brother Wei can go out of Beijing to see you at this moment, and you can guess some of the intentions of Brother Wei when I think about it. ”

Ye Siye said in a deep voice: "What the Son of Heaven means is that as long as you are willing to withdraw your troops, no matter what the Southwest Army wants, the imperial court can agree, including what you just said...... Change the emperor. ”

General Li smiled dumbly: "Whoever is the emperor can be replaced?" ”

Ye Xuan was silent: "People with the surname Ji can change anyone." ”

Li Xin raised his glass and toasted Ye Luan, and then slowly spoke: "Originally, the Southwest Army has already fought here, and no matter who is in the court to act as a lobbyist, I will not say a word to him." But the senior brother came in person, and the younger brother couldn't help but give the senior brother a face. ”

"The Southwest Army fought all the way from the Sword Pavilion to Luzhou, although it won all the way, but it was not without dead people, and now the capital has not entered it, and suddenly the Great Jin Dynasty has changed the Son of Heaven, so let them turn around and go back, there is no reason for this."

"The senior brother has also led the soldiers, so you should understand what the younger brother is saying."

Ye Xuan said silently: "If you can't fully control the Southwest Army in Chang'an, you shouldn't take them out of the Sword Pavilion." ”

"These are two different things, even the orthodox son of the Great Jin Dynasty, it is impossible to act against the wishes of all the soldiers."

Li Xin smiled and said: "It is not difficult for the imperial court to want the Southwest Army to retreat, I have only one request. ”

Ye Lan sighed: "You say." ”

He knew very well what kind of character Li Xin was, and he also knew that most of the conditions that Li Xin put forward were not given by the imperial court.

"It's very simple, the Gyeonggi Forbidden Army is transferred out of the capital, opens the gate of the capital, and lets the southwest army enter the capital."

Ye Luan's face darkened: "This is impossible, the Son of Heaven sent me to talk to the Southwest Army, not to surrender." ”

Li Xin continued unhurriedly: "I can assure my senior brother that after the Southwest Army enters Beijing, it will not disturb the people in Beijing, as long as the hundred officials are honest enough, the Southwest Army will not wantonly kill important ministers in the court, after I enter Beijing, the purpose is only to change the emperor, as for who to change as the emperor, after the Southwest Army enters Beijing, we will sit down and talk in detail." ”

"It's too harsh."

Ye Xuan frowned and said: "You are forcing the court to fight to the death, the southwest army you brought over is now more than 100,000 people, and the imperial court's Gyeonggi forbidden army has more than 200,000, and the army from all over the country is also on the way to Beijing. ”

"Now there are more than 100,000 people."

Li Xin said with a smile: "Mu Ying led the troops to rush to the front, and the younger brother was not idle behind him, and now the number of the Southwest Army is much more than when he left Shu." ”

Ye Lan lowered his head, took a sip of wine to himself, and then said with a wry smile: "That's it, with your temperament, unless your father is reincarnated now, I'm afraid no one can persuade you, I come here for my brother, I also want to come to see you, I don't expect to really persuade you to go back to the southwest." ”

Li Xin didn't mention business again, just poured him a new toast, and then smiled heartily: "Our brother hasn't drunk for a long time, come, have a drink." ”

The two brothers pushed the cups and changed the glasses, and after a few rounds of drinking, their faces had already begun to redden.

Li Xin ate a few bites of food, and then looked up at Ye Luan, who already had a big tongue when he spoke.

"Brother comes here for a trip, you can't come in vain, after you return to Beijing, tell the Son of Heaven that the soldiers have arrived, and evasion cannot be avoided, if he is really sincere, now let go of the city gate and let the southwest army enter the city, then the Great Jin may still be the Great Jin, I will give everyone an acceptable result, but if the southwest army enters the capital, the name of the Great Jin may be easier."

Ye Ling silently took a sip of wine.

"For brother, I wrote it down."

Li Xin patted Senior Brother on the shoulder and continued: "Besides, after Senior Brother returns to Beijing, he must find a way to save the lives of his family, I am afraid that some people will jump off the wall in a hurry and will do something to the Ye family." ”

"Senior brother's family, as well as Ye Mao's family, are all in the capital, you can do without anything, you must save your life."

Li Xin's face was serious.

"I promised Ye Mao that one day I would help him rebuild the Zhenbei Army, and then go out of the customs to find the Xianbei people for revenge."

"When the Southwest Army enters Beijing, the Great Jin Dynasty may be turned upside down, but there is only one thing, I can assure my senior brother."

"The Ye family, it's still the Ye family."
