Unparalleled Concubine

   Chapter 676 An old friend returns to Beijing

Zhao Jia is the most capable person in Jing'an Hou's mansion besides Li Xin, and even in some respects, he is better than Li Xin, so when Li Xin came back from the southwest, he took Zhao Jia. I stayed in the southwest and coordinated many things in the southwest.

At the beginning, Li Xin's original intention was to let Zhao Jia go back with Ye Ming, but when Ye Ming returned to Beijing, the shadow of the remnants of the Pingnan Army was found in the southwest, and Li Xin let Zhao Jia stay in the southwest and became the Marquis of Jing'an. The spokesperson of the government in the southwest.

   In other words, the Zhao family was in the southwest these years, which was equivalent to Li Xin himself in the southwest.

  For five years, Zhao Jia only went back to Beijing twice, visited his wife and children, and spent the rest of the time living in the city of Hanzhou in the southwest.

  Last year, in order to hone Zhao Fang on the one hand, and on the other hand, Li Xin also sent the child to Hanzhou Prefecture to "visit relatives", so he sent Zhao Fang to Zhao Jia's side and asked Zhao Jia to help him with him.

In fact, Zhao Fang has read a lot more books than Li Xin over the years. Although he called Li Xin every teacher, Li Xin really had nothing to teach him, so he could only throw him in the book bag Zhao Jia.

   Now, Mu Ying has completely controlled the Hanzhou army, and the Hanzhou government has also stabilized. The remnants of the Pingnan army have also been arranged properly, so there is no need for Zhao Jia to stay in the southwest.

In fact, after the New Year, Zhao Jia and Zhao Fang were already on their way back to Beijing. They should have arrived at this time, but Zhao Jia fell ill on the way, and it took a few days for them to arrive. To this day, I have not returned to Beijing.

   But even so, it will only be two days before Zhao Jia arrives in the capital.

At the beginning, Li Xin promised Zhao Jia that Zhao Jia would stay in Jing'an Hou's mansion for two more years. After two years, Zhao Jia started his career as a magistrate. Abruptly delayed for three more years.

Hearing Li Xin's tone, old man Ye also knew that he wanted someone from him, but he would not come back no matter what, the old man snorted and said, "That's it, you owe the old man a Humanity."

   Li Xin looked at the old man with a smile.

   "Master Ye is too outlandish to say that. The disciple and the Ye family have long since separated from each other. There is nothing human or inhumane. The affairs of the Ye family are the affairs of the disciple."

   Ye Sheng shook his head slowly.

   "That's not what you said. No matter how close you are, you can't make you suffer. Otherwise, no matter what it is, it won't last long."

   "You are the old man's apprentice, and you do your best to be filial, but you don't owe the rest of the Ye family anything. You can come as you please. Although the old man wants you to take care of the Ye family in the future, you can't help but be reasonable."

  The old man sat up and slowly exhaled.

   "My mother taught this principle when I was farming in Ningling when I was a child. Her old man said that between brothers, grains should be clearly separated, otherwise, the best brothers would have to fight after a long time."

   Old man Ye is already 80 years old this year. His mother has passed away for many years, but when Ye Sheng, who was somewhat irritable, mentioned his mother, his tone was unusually gentle.

   Li Xin said with a smile: "Master Ye has great wisdom."

   "Damn wisdom."

   Old man Ye rolled his eyes in disdain.

   "I'm getting old, and I've spent so many years in this world, so I have to understand some truths, otherwise, wouldn't my life be in vain?"

   "What the old man said to you is all passed down by our ancestors. The old man has experienced it for decades and served flowers and plants for decades before he can figure out the big truth."

  Li Xin stood up from the bench and gave Old Man Ye a deep bow with a solemn expression.

   "The disciple has been taught."

   Ye Sheng nodded with satisfaction, and finally said slowly: "It's been five years since you returned from the southwest, and the edge you should cover is almost there."

   "From today onwards, you have to reach out and take the things that are yours, otherwise you will not take them, and others will think you are weak and deceitful, and they will think that those things are not yours."

  Li Xin blinked at Old Man Ye, then smiled: "Master Ye means..."

   "Prince is not too young."

  The old man hesitated for a moment, then said, "You are the Prince's Taibao, and the teacher of the Prince's Eight Classics. If you should get close, you should get close, and you will kill this teacher's title."

   "Prince is the eldest son."

   Over the years, although Li Xin has been awarded the title of Prince Taibao, in fact he has never been to the East Palace once. Even when the Prince went to his house, he treated him like a relative, and he was not particularly close to the Prince.

   After hearing what Old Man Ye said, Li Xin smiled slightly.

   "Your Majesty's spring and autumn are flourishing, if Master Ye's words are spread out, he will be put in a big prison."

   The old man pouted in disdain,

   "Squatting and squatting, I am so old, afraid of them?"

   Lord Jingan shook his head helplessly.

  This old man, everything is good, but his temper is not very good.

  …………

   Taikang has been eight years, and it has entered the end of March.

The materials of the Ordnance Supervision have been delivered bit by bit. Every day, people from the Yulin Weiyou Battalion send people to inspect the weapons to collect these weapons, and then put them into wooden boxes and prepare to send them to Yunzhou. .

  During this process, the people from the Ministry of War always wanted to intervene, but they were all ruthlessly rejected by Yulinwei, so these people somewhat hated Li Xin, and the court's impeachment against Li Xin during this period has never stopped.

   However, as long as these memorials enter the Weiyang Palace, they are often lost in the sea, and there is no more news.

   The crowd at the Censor's Desk was furious, and once had the urge to go to the gate of Weiyang Palace to kneel and remonstrate.

However, at the same time, the Lord of Jing'an, who was at the center of the conflict, did not stay at home honestly, let alone in the yamen of the Ministry of War. He rode Chen Shiliu's carriage to the west gate of the capital and waited quietly. With the arrival of old friends.

   He waited here early in the morning, and it was almost noon when a blue ordinary carriage came slowly on the official road to the west.

  This carriage is very simple, it can only be regarded as the most common carriage, and the driver is a young man of fourteen or fifteen years old.

  Li Xin was sitting in the carriage of the Marquis of Jing'an, squinting at the inconspicuous carriage.

   Behind this carriage, at least twenty or thirty people were secretly protecting it.

   Finally, the carriage was approaching, Li Xin put his hands in his wide sleeves and slowly greeted him.

   When the young man who was driving saw Li Xin, he waved to Li Xin from a distance, and after getting out of the car, he ran towards Li Xin and knelt down in the dust.

   "I have seen the teacher."

   Li Xin glanced at the tanned young man lightly, and said, "You don't need to be so polite, get up."

   Zhao Fang stood up immediately and stood behind Li Xin with a smile.

  Li Xin raised his head and glanced at the carriage, then smiled slightly: "Brother You'an, is he afraid of being close to his hometown?"

   The curtain of the blue carriage was slowly opened, and a man in white clothes, about thirty years old, stepped down and saluted Li Xin in a proper manner.

   "I have seen Lord Li."

  Li Xin pulled his sleeve with a smile, looked Zhao Jia up and down a few times, and then smiled.

   "Brother You'an, I haven't seen you for a long time, you seem to have gained a lot of weight."
