Unparalleled Concubine

   Chapter 591 On Credit

   Li Xin's words meant that Jincheng should be made to look like he had surrendered after a hard fight, so that when Ye Ming arrived in Jincheng, everyone could justify his face.

   At least not too fake.

   If there is an appearance, Ye Shaobao has reason to believe. If this is too fake, no matter how good the relationship between Li Xin and the Ye family is, Ye Ming will probably not believe it when he arrives here.

  Believe it, that is, to join forces with Li Xin.

  If it's a little fake, and things will be revealed in the future, Ye Ming can also be said to be deceived by Li Xin. It doesn't seem to make a difference, but the difference is very big, so Li Xin has to make it look in Jincheng as soon as possible.

That night, Li Xin and Zhao Jiabing had a candle night talk, and spent a whole night. It was not until the next morning, when the sky broke, that Zhao Jia yawned and walked out of the quiet room. Before leaving, he faced Li Xin before leaving. He cupped his hands and smiled bitterly: "Master Hou, I haven't closed my eyes for two days, I really can't stand it anymore."

   Li Xin got up to say goodbye, smiled at Zhao Jia and said, "Brother You An, what are you going to do after returning to Beijing?"

   Zhao Jia was stunned for a while, then asked with a smile: "What does the Lord Hou mean?"

Li Xin smiled and said: "I remember when I first met Brother You'an, I asked Brother You'an why he gave up Ye Mao to follow me. Brother You'an said that working in Ye's house would be an aide all his life. If you follow me, you will have a chance. Seal your wife and son."

   "At that time, I responded to Brother You'an."

The Marquis of Jing'an said with a smile: "Now, Brother You'an has helped me a lot. After I return to the capital, I can provide activities for Brother You'an. With the credit of Brother You'an, I can guarantee that it will be released to the outside world. It is not difficult to be a prefect in the prefecture, or to be a chief in the Sixth Department."

   "After Brother You'an entered the official career, he didn't dare to say that he would be the prime minister, but as long as I am still in the court in the future, it will not be difficult for Brother You'an to become the six ministers in ten or twenty years."

   Such words are a great temptation for scholars.

Of all the scholars, there is no one who does not want to enter the officialdom and show their talents. People like Zhao Jia who have been studying since childhood naturally have this idea, but he is the son of the general of Chen Guogong's family, and this identity cannot participate in the scientific examination. Old man Ye thought again. He was left at Ye's house to be Ye Mao's assistant, so he never went to the scientific examination.

   Now, Li Xin's words are the dream that Zhao Jia had been pursuing.

   Zhao Jia's sleepiness all night disappeared in an instant.

He raised his head and glanced at Li Xin, after pondering for a long time, he finally gritted his teeth and forced a smile: "Master Hou, it is indeed my goal to become an official in the dynasty, and it is the same idea now, but after Master Hou returned to Beijing, there were still many people in the capital. There are many risks, and the Marquis of Jing'an will not be too stable. My subordinates want to stay in the Marquis of Jing'an for another two years.

   Having said this, the young man who likes to wear white clothes smiled and said, "Don't be too moved, Lord Hou. After all, if something happens to the Jing'an Hou's mansion, even if he becomes an official, his subordinates will not be able to escape being implicated."

   Lord Jingan laughed.

   "Brother You An, don't worry, I'm different from other people. Even if the Marquis of Jing'an mansion disappears one day, I have a way to keep you from being implicated."

   Zhao Jia gave Li Xin a deep bow.

   "Then the subordinate has agreed with the Hou Ye. After two years, the subordinate will leave the Jingan Houfu and become an official."

The scholar, who was three years older than Li Xin, got up and said with a smile, "I don't want to be a magistrate. If I go out to be an official, I will start with the magistrate. After all, my subordinate is currently acting as the magistrate of Mianzhu. already."

  Li Xin laughed dumbly and patted him on the shoulder.

   "That's fine, two years later, I'll find a vacancy for you under the Jingzhao Mansion."

  ………………

   Soon, five days have passed.

It has been five days since Li Xin's forbidden army entered Jincheng. During the five days, the wounded and soldiers under Li Xin's subordinates have all received a good rest. The Marquis of Jing'an finally rested well for a few days. The spirit is much better than before.

   This morning, Li Xin got up early and led Zhao Jia, Ye Mao and others to wait at the east gate of Jincheng.

   About half an hour later, a group of more than a dozen people on the official road rushed towards Jincheng.

   The first person to dye beard and hair cream, but he is quite proud, it is the general of this Western Expedition, the young guard of the court, Ye Ming, General Ye.

   This general is in his fifties this year, but he is not old-fashioned. After approaching, he turned over and dismounted neatly. Li Xin and the others stepped forward to greet him and saluted the general.

  Li Xin bent slightly, bowed his head and clasped his fists and said, "Last General Li Xin, I have seen the Great General!"

   In those days Deng Ai broke Shu like Li Xin, but because of disagreement with the general Zhong Hui, he was falsely accused of treason by Zhong Hui the following year.

   The relationship between Li Xin and Ye Ming is naturally much better than that of Deng Ai and Zhong Hui, but after all, there is a relationship of interests involved, so the Marquis of Jing'an is quite respectful at this time.

  Others also saluted Ye Ming.

   The young master Ye Mao even knelt down and kowtowed: "Child, see your father!"

   After Ye Shaobao got off the horse, seeing Li Xin's appearance, he took three or four steps forward, helped Li Xin up, and said, "What is Chang'an doing? It's too polite!"

   Li Xin took advantage of the situation to stand up, smiled and said: "In the army, the senior brother is the younger brother's Shangguan, and the proper etiquette is required."

   Ye Ming helped Li Xin up, pulled Li Xin's sleeve, looked up at Jincheng behind Li Xin, and was amazed.

"To tell the truth from Chang'an, when I first received the news of Jincheng's surrender, my brother thought that Chang'an, you and the Li family...were going to lead the army of the Western Expedition into the urn. After the final confirmation, my brother had no choice but to believe that Chang'an, you really are. The only thing is to win Jincheng alone!"

"Amazing."

   Ye Ming sighed: "Heroes come from young men. I have been in Jin Dynasty for more than 100 years since the founding of the country, and I have never been as amazing as a young hero like you in Chang'an!"

Li Xin bowed his head slightly and said with a smile: "It's all the plan of the senior brother, the younger brother is just acting according to the plan. Besides, if the senior brother is not in the Jiange, and the younger brother is in the southwest hinterland, I am afraid that he would have been attacked by the Pingnan Army. If you take credit for winning Jincheng this time, the senior brother alone will take 60% of the credit, the banned army brothers will have 30%, Ye Mao is half-finished, and the younger brother will have half-percent, and no matter how much more, I won’t dare to take credit.”

Hearing Ye Mao's name, Ye Shaobao remembered that his son was also by his side, he turned his head and glanced at Ye Mao who was kneeling on the ground, and said, "I heard that you did a good job with your uncle, just get up and turn around. I'll talk to you again."

  The young master obediently got up and went to the back.

   Ye Ming then pulled Li Xin's sleeve and continued to speak.

   "Changan, you are too modest."

   "Chang'an, you have at least 80% of the credit for this Western Expedition. Whoever dares to give you one less point will immediately turn against him for his brother!"
