During the Qingming Festival, the father and son kowtowed a few times in front of Ye Sheng's tomb. Li Xin arranged to replace the tombstone of Old Man Ye, and officially changed from Duke Chen to "Ningling County Prince". Then Li Xin took Li Ping and his two people to live in Yejiazhuang for two or three days. On the fourth day, Li Xin took Ye Mao back to the capital.

Originally, Ye Mao had injuries, but Li Xin meant that he would return to the capital to work after he recovered from his injuries. However, after this Chen Guogong learned about Shenji Camp, he couldn't wait to return to the capital to see all kinds of new firearms produced in the southwest.

Ye Mao rode a horse wherever he went, and basically didn't ride a carriage. However, because he was injured, he had to sit in a carriage this time because Li Xin's carriage was the largest and could accommodate Ye Mao halfway, so he let Ye Mao have the same carriage as him, and his uncle and nephew chatted all the way.

Ye Mao's injuries behind him were still not healed, so he could only sit or lie on his side. At this time, he was sitting by the bed of Li Xin's carriage and looked at Li Xin with a smile: "How do you feel in the past few months?"

Li Xin was reading a miscellaneous book, but when he heard this, he frowned slightly: "How do you feel?"

"that is……"

Ye Mao was speechless for a moment. After scratching his head, he finally came up with a word: "It's the feeling of... monopolizing power."

Li Xin put down the books in his hand and shook his head slightly: "I have never had the power to take over."

"Not only me, but also the powerful ministers and even the emperors of all dynasties, there are few people who can truly monopolize power. They usually hold a plan, then delegate power, and then carefully maintain the balance of power."

"If a person wants to take care of everything, he will become a single husband. At that time, not only will he have no friends, but his subordinates will slowly walk away."

Ye Mao nodded thoughtfully, then looked at Li Xin again and asked, "Uncle Master... what are the plans for the future?"

The Duke Ye smiled and said, "I used to ask my grandfather to ask me to study. I didn't listen to him much. I didn't read many books. But I also know that as long as people who entered the capital in all dynasties have changed, they usually changed their dynasties. But, uncle, you are afraid that there will be... for half a year?"

Li Xin looked at Ye Mao with a smile: "If I want to be the emperor now, will Duke Ye agree?"

"I naturally agreed."

Ye Mao grinned and said, "Start from the seal of Duke Chen's Mansion to Uncle Master, no matter what Uncle Master wants to do, the Ye family has determined to support Uncle Master."

Li Xin shook his head slightly: "The Ye family supports it, does the Zhong family branch support it? Does the Western Army support it? The officials in the court have soft bones, so don't need to consider it for the time being, but the Ji family's royal family members are everywhere in the Jin Dynasty. When I ascend the throne and become emperor, will they be convinced?"

After a series of questions, before Ye Mao answered, Li Xin shook his head and said, "The Ji family's royal family will never support it."

"No matter who sits in the emperor's position, as long as the emperor's surname is Ji, they will still be a royal family. These people can still live in big houses and ride horses. However, if the court changes its surname, their identities will be gone."

"This identity is their lifeblood. Without them, they will jump up and fight me to the death."

Speaking of this, Li Xin smiled: "Of course, these royal families of the Great Jin Dynasty basically have no military power. Even if they all oppose the court, they will just kill a few more people. But what the court needs now is stability. The military system in the capital needs to be changed, and the Xianbei tribe in the north must be pacified. Although the people from the court kept saying that they would be loyal to me, I actually used a knife to force them on their necks. If the world became chaotic, no one knew what they would look like."

Governor Li squinted his eyes and smiled: "Do you still think I can ascend the throne?"

Although Ye Mao was straightforward, he was not stupid. He smiled and said, "Of course."

"As long as you can kill someone, you have the military power in your hands, there will be no problem when you ascend the throne. As for the big scholars in the court, you are not afraid of it. It is amazing that the uncle of the teacher will give up it directly. There are countless people in the world who are willing to be officials. At that time, the court will issue a document, and these people will immediately squeeze their heads and kowtow to the uncle."

Li Xin had no expression on his face.

"My wife's surname is Ji, and I can't kill all the people in the Ji family."

This is one of the difficulties Li Xin has encountered now. Everyone in the Southwest Group is forcing him to ascend the throne openly and secretly. As Ye Mao said, as long as he nods, it will not be a problem whether it is the court or the local royal family. Mu Ying and others are too happy to help Li Xin raise the butcher knife. In just three or four months, nearly 100,000 royal families from the Jin Dynasty will be slaughtered 60,000,000, and the rest will be changed and their surnames will no longer recognize their Ji surname.

But the problem is that Li Xin is also the son-in-law of the Ji family.

The Ninth Princess has been with him for more than ten years and has never left him. She has given birth to three children and is still pregnant with the fourth one. Li Xin can't give an order to destroy his wife's whole family?

Besides, this is no longer as simple as the whole family, it is already annihilation of the clan.

After hearing Li Xin's words, Ye Mao, who had always been nervous, also fell silent. He shook his head and smiled bitterly: "This is indeed a problem, but we can't just maintain the status quo. Even if the uncle can be a powerful minister for the rest of his life, he will not only bring disaster to future generations, but also many people."

Many people Ye Mao mentioned refer to the Southwest Group behind Li Xin.

Li Xin's face was calm.

"So for the past few months, I have been thinking about this, and finally came up with a compromise."

At this time, the carriage slowly advanced, and there were three people in the carriage, including the tall Duke Ye Guo, the governor Li in black, and Li Ping, the prince of the Jing'an Marquis's Mansion who was already sleeping soundly in the carriage due to fatigue from the journey.

Ye Mao quickly understood and turned his head to look at the child sleeping beside him, and his face changed slightly.

He lowered his voice and frowned, "It's certainly a way, but he's too young and may not be able to sit steadily."

Li Xin's face was calm: "With me in the capital, the emperor of Yankang can sit steadily today, let alone my son."

Ye Mao blinked and smiled and said, "Forget it, this is the family affairs of the uncle's own family. It is not convenient for me to ask about it, but there is a problem that the uncle has to consider."

Duke Ye looked back at Li Ping who was sleeping again and said softly: "That's my brother, what's my surname in the future?"

This is the most critical issue.

Governor Li shook his head and smiled bitterly: "This matter is something I have been considering over the past few months, but it is too early to say this now. When the people I support myself occupy more than half of the imperial court, and after you pacify the Xianbei tribe in the Northern Expedition, this matter is what I need to consider."

"I still have time to think about it slowly."

Ye Mao smiled: "I'm afraid the uncle will be in control. The generals of the Southwest Army will not let you do whatever you want."

Li Xin lifted the curtain of the carriage, looked up at the scenery outside the window, and his tone was calm.
