Chapter 398 Ye Shichen An
In fact, Li Xin knew that Cui Jiuniang lived here early in the morning, but it was not convenient for the two of them to meet, so he kept dragging them to see each other.
The reason why I came to see her tonight was because Emperor Taikang was too busy to take care of himself and was unlikely to pay attention to Cui Jiuniang anymore. Li Xin took advantage of this opportunity to see the first noble person he met in the capital.
Li Xin could not do it by his own efforts alone from a penniless farmer to a powerful Marquis of Jing'an. Among them, he had met many noble people, including the current Emperor Taikang, Emperor Chengde, Duke Chen Ye Sheng, and Marquis of Ningling Ye Lin, but these people were all utilitarian.
Only Cui Jiuniang, when she first met Li Xin, felt compassion just because she felt compassion.
No matter what his original intention is, as long as he helps Li Xin, Li Xin will keep it in his heart. After all, no matter how he is, he is just that in comparison, Cui Jiuniang's love is much more sincere than others.
After briefly saying a few words to Cui Jiuniang, Li Xin left the alley.
Knowing that she was doing well, Li Xin felt relieved. As for other things, Li Xin could not ask more about it.
In fact, at this moment, if Li Xin ran to the palace and asked Emperor Taikang to take Cui Jiuniang into the palace, Emperor Taikang would probably nod and agree happily for Li Xin's sake, but this was the emperor's family matter after all, and Li Xin did not need it, and he should not consume his affection to do this thing that he should not have done.
When doing things, you must be responsible.
After returning home for a night of rest, Li Xin went directly to Duke Chen’s mansion the next day.
This day is the auspicious day calculated by the Imperial Heaven. He is going to officially apprentice to Duke Chen Ye Sheng.
In fact, there was no need to be so anxious, and the original day was not today, but things changed. The emperor issued a note overnight to ask the Imperial Heaven Supervision to change the day and became an apprentice in advance.
Because the matter was hasty and there was no time to notify me, not many people came to watch the ceremony early in the morning.
Li Xin met the war god of the Great Jin in Old Man Ye’s yard.
Marquis Jing'an saluted respectfully.
"Ye Shi's morning."
It was already autumn now, but Ye Sheng was still wearing a single dress. He glanced at Li Xin lightly and sighed slightly: "What happened?"
The days of becoming a disciple were suddenly ahead of schedule. With Old Man Ye's sensitivity to politics, he naturally guessed something.
Li Xin knew that he could not hide it from him, and smiled and said, "Mr. Ye was wise, but nothing major happened. It was just that his disciples met the people from the Zheng family in Xingyang who entered and exited the Marquis' Mansion. After discussing with His Majesty, he felt that Marquis of Pingnan would not change, so His Majesty decided to control the imperial guards as soon as possible."
"Therefore, the disciple's apprenticeship ceremony should be held in advance."
Ye Sheng glanced at Li Xin lightly: "What did you guess?"
Li Xin lowered his head and said, "Mr. Ye doesn't know anything. Recently, disasters have been reported in various places, either drought and flood, or ground dragons and hurricanes. It's a doomsday scene. His Majesty didn't find it strange, but in the past few days, His Majesty found out that someone might be lying to report the disaster."
"They lied about the disaster, and wanted to give the civil servants in the court, so that they could use this attack to attack His Majesty to lose their morality. At this time, the Pingnan Army in southern Xinjiang could take the opportunity to take action and plot against the deposed prince!"
After hearing this, Ye Sheng closed his eyes and thought for a while, then slowly said: "What do you mean is that all the bullshit families colluded with the Li family?"
The Ye family in the Great Jin Dynasty is different from other aristocratic families. For example, the Zhong family and the country have a history of more than a hundred years. Even the Marquis of Pingnan was born from the Li family of Zhao County. They were all born from the Duke of Chen. The mansion of Ye Sheng was a man named Qiu Ba in the army when he was young. He was struggling and struggling to reach his current position. He was the first generation of the Ye family.
In other words, although the Ye family is now considered aristocratic family, it can only be considered a nouveau riche compared to other aristocratic families. The ancient aristocratic families look down on the Ye family very much.
So Ye Sheng looked down on them too.
Old Man Ye naturally had reasons to look down on them. When Ye Sheng led his troops to the capital of Northern Zhou, those aristocratic families came to the capital with fear and wagging their tails to seek peace. With such an old thing, Old Man Ye naturally looked down on those big-headed garlic.
"pretty close."
Li Xin lowered his eyebrows and said, "Except for those aristocratic families who can have such influence in the local area, it is difficult for other people to make local officials work like this. The sky is high and the capital is far away, and even a few prime ministers cannot do this."
Ye Sheng smiled: "That kid Li Shen really has two tricks. He is trapped in the capital and is waiting to die. He can still make the situation so hard."
"It's mainly the deposed prince."
Li Xin lowered his head and said, "At that time, the deposed prince should not have been allowed to escape from the capital. Without the deposed prince, the southern border would have to wait for death. Those aristocratic families could not sacrifice their lives to support the Pingnan Marquis' Mansion in this way."
Ye Sheng nodded slowly and smiled and said, "Don't be too nervous. It's not a big deal. This world is not so easy to mess. Your Majesty is orthodox. As long as you don't make any tricks, those sneaky villains behind your back will not have a chance."
Old Man Ye poured himself a glass of wine and said slowly: "As you said, if the Zheng family in Xingyang and the Li family in Zhaojun ended, then most of the aristocratic families in the old Northern Zhou Dynasty would end."
Speaking of this, Ye Sheng sneered: "When I entered the capital of Northern Zhou, I was exhausted and could no longer clean up these borers. Now it's just right to take this opportunity to cleanse the universe."
Li Xin smiled and said, "I'm afraid Master Ye will not be able to leave the capital."
Speaking of this, Li Xin paused and continued to smile: "The disciple's senior brother can't move either."
The senior brother Li Xin mentioned was the general of Zhenbei Army, Ye Ming and Ye Shaobao.
Ye Sheng smiled: "Isn't there another Ye Mao?"
"With you, the uncle, bring him with him, I feel at ease to let him participate. As long as you can gain some military merits and Ye Mao is not stupid, he will be stable in his life."
The master and apprentice had another conversation. Seeing that there were more and more guests, both of them were about to go out to see the guests. After getting up, Ye Sheng glanced at Li Xin.
"I heard that you have been working in the Ministry of War for a while. Have you gone to the Imperial Army, where is the Ministry of War?"
"Man's calculation is not as good as God's calculation."
Li Xin smiled bitterly and said, "Originally, my disciples planned to gain a foothold in the Ministry of War and could become the Secretary of Xia in the future, but now there are priorities and the Ministry of War can only put it aside for the time being."
Ye Sheng nodded thoughtfully.
"It is indeed more stable to do things in the Ministry of War than to go out to lead troops. It is not surprising that you have this idea, but you have to lead troops in everything."
"It's very dangerous to lead troops."
Ye Sheng smiled: "If you lose, you can't escape the sacred life, but if you win in such a national war, it will be even more troublesome."
As he said that, Old Man Ye pointed at himself.
"The best outcome is to raise grass and flowers at home like me."
Li Xin blinked and said with a smile: "If you have no worries about food and clothing, and raise grass and flowers at home, that's not bad."
Ye Sheng shook his head and turned around and left.
In fact, if you win the national war, there is another way to survive.
