Unparalleled Concubine

   Chapter 648 Ambition or Strength?

  Li Xin let out a sigh of relief.

   Originally, he was not optimistic about the old man's health, otherwise he would not have sent people around him thousands of miles to invite Qin Yuanhua into the capital, but now listening to Mr. Qin's words, the old man has at least a year or two to live.

  Although one or two years is not a long time, it is a day if you can live another day, and you will earn it no matter what.

   But what Qin Yuanhua said next made both Li Xin and Ye Mao silent.

   The master doctor in Guanzhong said with a serious expression: "My grandfather's body must be conditioned. From today onwards, he has to take medicines, give needles, and move around a lot, and he can't stay at home all the time."

   "More importantly, never drink alcohol."

Having said that, Mr. Qin pointed to old man Ye's room, and said solemnly: "My grandfather's house is full of various wine jars, which are full of wine. Just now, Qin asked my old man, The old man said that he still drinks half a catty to a catty of spirits every day!"

   "The old man is already so old, how can he drink so much wine, you juniors don't know the restraint, it's just nonsense!"

   Constrain the fart…

  Jing An Hou Ye secretly complained in his heart.

   That old man in the room, in his 70s five years ago, could hang himself with one hand and throw Ye Mao, a fierce general, to play with, and this old man had a bad temper and would hurt people whenever he could, who would dare to restrain him...

   Even now, if I really fight, I might not beat him...

   Ye Mao should have beaten him, but this young man is a filial man. Even if old man Ye stabbed him to death with a knife, he did not dare to fight back.

   The little grandpa on the side frowned and lowered his head: "Mr. Qin, grandfather is addicted to alcohol. If you don't let him drink, you will kill him..."

   "Why don't... drink less?"

   Qin Yuanhua frowned.

Li Xin on the side sighed and said, "Mr. Qin, we will try our best to make him drink less, but it is impossible for him to stop drinking for a while, if we go in at this moment. Tell him that he is not allowed to drink, and the old man will say he will die soon."

  Li Xin bowed his hands to Qin Yuanhua.

   "Also invite Mr. Qin."

   Qin Yuanhua frowned and said, "If you follow your method, how long will it last? Qin cannot guarantee..."

   Li Xin and Ye Mao looked at each other.

The young master gritted his teeth and said, "Mr. Qin, I will try my best to persuade me. After a while, my fourth uncle will also come back. He speaks more heavily in front of his grandfather and will try his best to persuade him, but he really can't stop drinking at all. No, you can't drink it at all, and you will directly kill the old man!"

   Qin Yuanhua shook his head helplessly when he saw this.

   "You didn't cooperate like this. Originally, according to Qin's rules, he died, but it was Lord Ye..."

   He sighed.

   "That's it, I'm writing a prescription now, and the young master will ask someone to prescribe the medicine, and I will make the medicine for the old man myself."

   "Also ask the young master to arrange a place for Qin."

   Ye Mao was overjoyed, lowered his head and said, "I live near my grandfather's yard, so I packed it up and gave it to Mr. Qin."

   said, he led Qin Yuanhua to write the prescription.

  Li Xin shook his head and walked into Old Man Ye's room.

  In the room, the old man was lying on the reclining chair with his eyes closed.

  Li Xin walked over and sat directly next to the old man, and said angrily: "Master Ye, Mr. Qin said that if you drink again, you won't survive for three days!"

  The old man didn't open his eyes, but said lazily: "Three days is three days. This old man is at his age, and one extra day is also profitable."

  Li Xin lost his temper and sighed helplessly.

   "It's better to drink less wine, you know, Brother Ye is not in good health, maybe he is not as good as you..."

   Old man Ye opened his eyes, glanced back at Li Xin, and sighed.

   "If you say something bad, if you talk nonsense again, I will drive you out!"

  Li Xin shook his head and just sat quietly beside Old Man Ye without saying anything more.

   The master and the apprentice just stayed so quietly. The two people who were a little noisy on weekdays were rarely quiet for a while.

   After an unknown amount of time, Ye Sheng, who looked like he was asleep, suddenly opened his mouth.

   "Chang'an."

  Li Xin responded: "The disciple is here."

   "Is the court going to fight?"

  The Marquis of Jing'an smiled bitterly and said, "Master Ye, this disciple has been idle for a few years. How can I know about the affairs of the imperial court?"

   "You don't have to bluff Lao Tzu."

Ye Sheng opened his eyes and snorted: "In the past two or three years, the Ministry of Household has been sparing no effort to accumulate grain and rice, and your Ministry of War should also be stepping up preparations for armors, weapons such as knives and guns, and the movements are very big. This kind of movement can't be hidden from anyone."

   "Idlers like this old man can still see some clues. You, the Minister of War, don't you know?"

  Li Xin sat cross-legged on the ground, and after being silent for a while, he said with a smile, "Maybe it's going to be a war, but His Majesty didn't say that, as ministers, we can only pretend not to know."

   "In the past few years, you kid, I've gotten a lot of news about the Northern Zhou Dynasty from this old man."

   Old man Ye squinted at Li Xin and said slowly: "Five years ago, you planted the seed of opening up the soil in Your Majesty's heart. Now that five years have passed, this seed... has taken root and sprouted."

   There are no outsiders in this yard. Li Xin can say something he wants to say without hesitation. He thought for a while, and finally spoke calmly.

"Master Ye, five years ago, the disciple thought that he pushed the general trend and led the imperial court to the path of the Northern Expedition, but after five years, the disciple has become less arrogant, and the disciple feels more and more that even if there is no such thing as the one buried by the disciple. Seed, sooner or later today will look to the north."

   "It's not a question of ambition, it's a question of strength."

  The Marquis of Jing'an said slowly: "If the court has the ability to touch the north, His Majesty will naturally look north."

  Ye Sheng was stunned for a while, then he laughed dumbly: "Although it sounds a bit like getting rid of responsibility, it's not unreasonable."

   The old man sighed and said slowly: "Boss, he has already gone west once, so your Majesty will probably not allow him to go north again, and..."

   "And you also said that the boss's body... doesn't allow him to take command again."

   "The Zhong family needs to be stationed in Yunzhou City, and the court is very reassured about the Zhong family, and most likely will not use them to fight."

   Having said that, Ye Sheng did not continue.

The Jimenguan guards, that is, the 100,000 people of the Zhenbei Army, have been controlled by the Ye family for two generations. If nothing else, they will be controlled by the third generation of the Ye family. The border gate has a whole 100,000 forces that cannot be directly controlled. , no one will be too worried.

   So if you are fighting north, you should use Zhenbei Army to fight.

   After winning Can Zhou, Zhenbei Army himself is estimated to be disabled. For the imperial court, this is a two birds with one stone.

  The Marquis of Jing An squinted his eyes, and finally said slowly: "Master Ye, drink less wine, the war might start at some point."

   Ye Sheng looked back at Li Xin.

   "Has Your Majesty sought you out?"

  Li Xin shook his head and said, "I haven't mentioned this to my disciple, but I'm going to take my son to the palace these two days..."

   The old man nodded.

   "If the matter is settled, you remember to come and tell the old man."

  The Marquis of Jing An sat on the ground without any image and said with a smile.

   "Then, old man, you need to drink less alcohol."
