Unparalleled Concubine

   Chapter 593 Ye Shaobao and Li Houye

From the fall of last year, Li Xin led the team over the Motianling Mountains, until the end of March in the third year of Taikang, and it only took more than half a year before and after. It seems to be an unprecedented miracle since the opening of Dajin, but in fact, if you look carefully, you can find that there are many loopholes in the middle.

   One of the most obvious loopholes is the Hanzhou Rebels who don't know where they came from.

   Even if the Pingnan Army did something wrong in Shu County, and the local people attacked it in droves and spontaneously organized a rebel army, it was impossible to pull up an army of 50,000 people, and all of them appeared in the territory of Hanzhou Prefecture.

   How many families are there in Hanzhou Prefecture?

Even in accordance with the method of conscription in the Great Jin Dynasty, 20 households or even 15 households were selected. It is impossible to pull a team of 50,000 people in the Hanzhou Prefecture alone, not to mention, in this short period of time. The 50,000 people pulled up also caused damage to the Pingnan Army!

   This doesn't make sense at all.

   If you report to the imperial court, the imperial court may not approve it.

Li Xin was silent for a while, then said with a smile: "Senior brother, no matter where the Hanzhou Rebels came from, they helped us after all, as long as we report it and give them the name of the Rebels, the Southwest will be pacified in the future. Naturally, it will return to Longmu, and it will not happen again."

   Ye Ming stared at Li Xin.

   "Chang'an, if you report this statement, will the chiefs of the three provinces approve it?"

   Li Xin lowered his eyebrows and said, "It doesn't matter if they recognize it or not, His Majesty will."

Emperor Taikang knew about the remnants of Nanshu from a long time ago. When he was still the king of Wei, Li Xin told him about the remnants of Nanshu. At that time, the two wanted to use these remnants to contain the Pingnanhou Mansion. Or use this as the key to unlocking the Southwest Dilemma.

   At that time, the emperor of Chengde also knew the identity of Mu Ying.

  The Hanzhou Rebels helped to pacify the Southern Army. It was Li Xin who "replaced" the Emperor Taikang and did business with the remnants of Nanshu. After the event was completed, the court wanted to give these Hanzhou Rebels a reasonable and legal identity.

   It’s just that Li Xin, the middleman, made some difference.

   Of course, neither the Ye family nor the Zaifu of the three provinces knew about this. After all, this kind of thing is not on the table, and if it is spread out, how can the dignified emperor do business with the rebels in Nanshu?

   Ye Ming frowned deeply and did not speak.

The Marquis of Jing'an reached out and poured Ye Ming a glass of wine, then lowered his voice and said slowly: "Senior Brother Ye, I shouldn't have told you about these things, but we are a family, since you asked, I will follow up with you. Say something."

Li Xin looked left and right, and after confirming that there were only the Ye family's father and son, he said in a low voice, "Hanzhou Rebels are the remnants of Nanshu who died but did not die. !"

   Ye Ming's face changed suddenly.

   He frowned and said, "It's been thirty years since the old Nanshu was destroyed. I heard that these rebels have been making troubles in the southwest. They are the source of the disaster of the Jin Dynasty. How can you be in harmony with them in Chang'an?"

   Ye Shaobao looked solemn.

   "Changan, you have a bright future, but don't take the wrong path. If someone else finds out about this, even if you have great credit, this stain will ruin you!"

   said, he sighed.

   "It's also reckless for my brother, and my brother shouldn't be involved in this matter."

   He looked solemn and said: "Changan, don't worry, this matter is out of your mouth and in the ears of my father and son, and no fourth person will know about it in the future."

   "As for the imperial court, please help my brother a little more. If it really doesn't work, hide the Hanzhou Rebel Army, and don't mention it, just mention that your Imperial Army broke Jincheng."

In fact, Ye Ming's words are somewhat watery. He may not tell outsiders what Li Xin said to him, but he will definitely explain it to Ye Sheng, and this matter will become a secret, and it will be a secret to Ye Ming. spread within the home.

   Maybe someday it will be "useful".

The Marquis of Jing'an smiled and said: "Senior brother, don't panic, since I dare to do this, I am not too afraid to tell it. Although it is not easy to report it to the court on the bright side, it is fine for others to know. "

   Ye Ming was puzzled.

   "Why is this?"

   "Because Your Majesty knows."

Li Xin smiled and said: "This matter is originally a transaction between Your Majesty and the remnants of Nanshu. The remnants of Nanshu helped His Majesty to pacify the southwest, and His Majesty gave them a legal identity. From then on, they are no longer the remnants of Nanshu, but the great Jin Zimin."

   "It has been thirty years since Nanshu was destroyed. Most of these people have no desire to restore their country. They just want to live in peace. After this, they can settle down in the southwest with peace of mind."

   Ye Ming suddenly realized.

The general lowered his head and took a sip of wine with a smile on his face: "So that's the case, I said, Chang'an, with your cautious temperament, you shouldn't be able to do such a bold thing, since it is His Majesty who presides over this matter behind the scenes. Then we have nothing to fear, just hide the identity of their Nanshu survivors, say they are Hanzhou Rebels, and report the rest truthfully."

  Li Xin smiled and said, "Senior brother is wise."

   "The matter of the southwest, can Senior Brother report it to the court?"

Ye Ming put down the wine glass and said with a smile: "Chang'an you broke the Jincheng thing, after the brother received the news, he immediately sent a letter to the capital. As for the specific details, we need you and I to discuss it carefully before we can do it. It is good to write details and report to the court."

  Li Xin lowered his head and thought for a moment, then said slowly: "Calculate the time, if Senior Brother uses 600 li to rush, in these two days, the news of the victory in the Southwest should be able to be delivered to the capital."

   Ye Ming patted Li Xin on the shoulder and said with a smile: "As soon as this news arrives in the capital, Chang'an, your Jing'an Marquis Mansion, is destined to be a prince and a prince."

  Li Xin blinked, but did not speak.

  It is too difficult for a family to share weal and woe with a dynasty.

  If the imperial court received news of the war in the southwest, according to what Li Xin knew about the Emperor Taikang, he would probably…

   Li Xin was thinking about the capital, when Ye Ming poured him a glass of wine, raised the glass and touched Li Xin.

   "There is one more thing, for my brother, I want to communicate with you in Chang'an."

  Li Xin also picked up the glass, and both of them drank it.

   "Brother, please speak."

   Li Xin said with a smile.

  Ye Shaobao was silent for a while, and then said, "Wei brother knows a little about you and Li Shen. He is your biological father, and now he's in prison, and entering the capital is a dead end."

   Having said this, General Ye gritted his teeth.

   "If Chang'an doesn't want Li Shen to come to Beijing, we can play a game and say Li Shen is dead, so that your biological father can at least save his life."

   "Changan, what do you mean?"

   Li Xin put down the glass and smiled.

   "Senior brother, Li Shen has nothing to do with me. If I had this idea, how could I destroy the Pingnan Houfu with my own hands?"

   "Let's send him to the capital. What will happen to him in the end is a matter of His Majesty and your ministers, and has nothing to do with us."
