Unparalleled Concubine

   Chapter 783 Outer Circle Inner Square

   General Ye frowned when he heard the words, he put down the teacup in his hand, and his face was solemn.

   "To this point?"

"arrive."

Li Xin lowered his head and said, "Senior brother should be guarding Master Ye's spirit in Ningling at the moment. Since this is the case, senior brother should not return to the capital. Senior brother should leave the capital as soon as possible and treat it as if he never came back. Ye family can also regard this as right. Not knowing."

   Ye Ming sighed slightly.

   "But because my brother already knows, how can I pretend not to know?"

  The Marquis of Jingan was silent.

  Ye Ming took a sip of tea and asked slowly: "The cause and effect, tell me brother Wei?"

  Li Xin nodded and spent most of an hour telling Ye Ming about this from beginning to end. After Ye Ming listened quietly, he was silent for a while and looked up at Li Xin.

   "What happened to the Hanzhou Army in the southwest?"

Li Xin smiled helplessly: "At the time of the westward expedition, my senior brother was the head coach, so you should know what was going on at that time. If there were no 50,000 Nanshu survivors to help, our army would have to die at least 20,000 to 30,000 people, and we could win it. strength, naturally we must strive for it.”

   "As for later..."

Li Xin took a deep breath and then said: "Chong's family has the Yunzhou Army, the senior brother's family also has the Zhenbei Army as his support, and the younger brother's Jing'an Houfu can barely be called a general, so naturally he has some military power in his hands. "

   "How can this be the same?"

Ye Ming said in a low voice: "Whether it's the Yunzhou Army or the Zhenbei Army, the soldiers are all the people of Dajin. In the final analysis, they are also the army of Dajin, but those are the survivors of Nanshu, and they are not the people of Dajin at the root. !"

  Li Xin's face was calm.

   "If there is no such thing, in a few decades, they will all be Dajin people."

   Ye Ming did not continue to ask further questions, he asked the second question.

   "That Tianlei...what is it?"

   Li Xin frowned, then replied: "A weapon for defending the city, I got it from reading Taoist books when my younger brother was young."

   "Then give it to Your Majesty."

Ye Ming patted Li Xin on the shoulder: "At your age, you are already a very high-ranking official, and the days to come will be very long. There is no need to quarrel with Your Majesty because of these trivial matters. I gave it to you, and my brother also gave it to you, as long as you can stabilize the north again, with this military merit, the emperor will not dare to touch you easily."

   "Don't be too pushy..."

   Li Xin smiled and said, "It's not stubborn, the younger brother has done what he can, and he has no intention of dragging anyone down. The younger brother of the Ye family also wants to try to distance himself from the relationship. Even if he dies in the capital one day, he will not resent anyone."

   Ye Ming frowned.

   "Chang'an, my father said that you are a smooth person, so you shouldn't be so paranoid."

   Lord Jingan smiled slightly.

   "Senior brother, I was afraid of poverty when I was a child, so I have always loved money all these years. Maybe because of this reason, I gradually turned into a copper plate."

   Ye Ming frowned and said, "Why?"

   "It has become round and square."

The smile on the face of the Marquis of Jing'an subsided, and he said with a serious face: "Senior brother, my younger brother is a cautious person, no matter what he does, he must have thought it carefully beforehand, this younger brother has thought about the Ye family beforehand, Even if I die, as long as the Ye family doesn't get involved, the Ye family will certainly be affected, but with the Zhenbei Army there, it won't shake the foundation."

   "Besides, even if it is an arm-wrestling with the emperor, the younger brother may not necessarily lose."

   "What if you win?"

Ye Ming opened his mouth and said, "Can you become the emperor if you win? Dajin was founded more than a hundred years ago, and it will usher in a prosperous age in the next forty years. At this time, the entire Dajin except the southwest, the people only recognize the heavenly family, and you have won. Your Majesty, you cannot win the hearts and minds of the people, and sooner or later you will be defeated."

   "Besides..."

   Ye Ming said solemnly: "Besides, the imperial court is so huge, can you really beat your majesty?"

  Li Xin didn't speak, just stood up from the chair and gave Ye Ming a deep sigh.

   "My brother has always kept in mind the affection of the Ye family, but I have already decided to let go of this matter, so I don't need to persuade my brother."

   "Senior brother came back from Ningling. Since he hadn't disturbed outsiders, he immediately left the city and went back to Ningling, as if he had never returned to Beijing. As long as the senior brother refused to admit it, the emperor would be happy to believe that the senior brother never came back."

   "As for the affairs of the Marquis of Jing'an, Senior Brother should not interfere."

   Ye Ming was silent for a long time, and finally got up from the chair. He looked at Li Xin and sighed helplessly.

   "Your family, are you out of the city at this time?"

  Li Xin nodded slightly.

   "If they are in danger, they will send someone to deliver a letter to Weixiong. Even if you really have an accident, the Ye family can keep your Li family's incense delivered smoothly."

   After saying this, Ye Ming also got up from the chair and walked out.

   "It is easy to speak when you need help. The Ye family is only three generations old, and they are not as greedy for life and fear of death as other aristocratic families."

  Other thousand-year-old families, which can be passed down from ancient times, often have their own set of philosophies, such as seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages, casting a wide net, etc. If they encounter disasters, they will definitely stay far away.

But the "upstarts" of the Ye family are different. From Ye Sheng to Ye Mao, the three generations are still very hardworking. Take the change of the Renchen Palace as an example, no general in the capital dared to do so. They attacked the palace gate together with Yu Linwei, but only the Ye family dared to do it.

   Ye Ming's words before he left have made his position clear for the Ye family.

   That is, if Li Xin needs the Ye family, the Ye family will bet with the family again!

   This kind of favor is a huge favor, so big that Li Xin can't bear it.

   If the Ye family really had an accident because of him, he would feel uneasy in his conscience wherever he was in the rest of his life.

   Ye Ming left, Li Xin personally sent him to the main gate, and respectfully saluted Ye Ming's back.

   It was not until Ye Ming got into the carriage that Li Xin turned around and went back to the study in his yard.

  In the study, the Marquis of Jing An closed his eyes and went through the ins and outs of what happened in the past few months in his mind.

  A character, events are arranged in his mind.

  Ye Mao, Emperor Taikang, Xiao Zheng, Mu Ying, Zhao Jia, Ye Lin, Ye Ming…

   Dozens of people's names flashed in his mind, and each of them had a dense thread on them, representing their intricate relationship.

   Closed his eyes and thought about it for about a stick of incense. Li Xin opened his eyes, rubbed his swollen temples, then got up and looked in the direction of the imperial city.

   "Previously, I thought that this was because I didn't know enough about your character, but I already knew enough..."

   "What happened to make you so weird?"
