During the Chinese New Year, it is natural for younger generations to wish the elders a happy New Year, but the relationship between heaven, earth, king and minister, and monarch and minister are ranked before kinship. In other words, it is true that Emperor Taikang is the best and Ye Sheng is the next, and the New Year is the next, and Ye Sheng is the next. To pay New Year’s greetings, Ye Sheng should go to the palace to wish the emperor a happy New Year.

But Old Man Ye hasn't left the house for more than ten years, and has ignored the worldly ways for more than ten years.

Hearing the emperor said this, Old Man Ye was stunned and fought hard, "Your Majesty is a tragic minister."

The emperor smiled slightly and lowered his eyebrows and said, "Honey, it's cold outside. I want to go to the Duke's Mansion to ask for a glass of wine to warm up."

Ye Sheng immediately made a way out and lowered his head slightly: "Your Majesty, please come in."

Ye Sheng led the way, but Old Man Ye paid great attention to the rules and was always half behind the emperor's position and did not cross the line at all.

The one who admires Li Xin the most in the entire capital is this old man Ye.

Two generations of the Ye family, Ye Ming was cautious and brainy, Ye Mao was strong and brave, but Chen Guogong Ye Sheng was an enhanced version of Ye Ming and Ye Mao. This old man was not only fierce in war, but also in terms of mind.

Sometimes he is even stronger than Li Xin.

Under Ye Sheng's leadership, the emperor walked to the small yard of Old Man Ye. Ye Sheng led the emperor to the house, and then moved a chair for him with his own hands. He said embarrassedly: "The old minister is a bit simple here, so please don't dislike him."

The emperor looked around and frowned and said, "My husband is a person with great contributions to the Great Jin Dynasty. Duke Chen's mansion is one of the best mansions in Yonglefang. Why does my husband live in such a small place?"

Speaking of this, the emperor looked around and his brows became deeper.

"Why is it winter that the mansion doesn't make a stove for my husband? Could it be that the Ye family has some unworthy descendants who have treated her harshly?"

Ye Sheng shook his head and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, I have thought too much. My fourth brother of the Ye family has gone to the north. The eldest brother and his son went to the southwest to quell the rebellion for the court. Now there are only two children in Ye Mao left in the mansion. The two largest ones are just able to walk. How can they treat the old ministers harshly?"

The emperor frowned and said, "Where is this husband?"

Ice is used in summer and carbon is the most basic thing for wealthy families in the capital. Not to mention Duke Chen’s Mansion, even the second most in Yonglefang, every yard is burned in carbon in winter, let alone a top general like Duke Chen’s Mansion.

The old man smiled and his tone was smooth.

"Your Majesty should also know that the old minister was a military household in Ningling. My father went to the army early and disappeared. When he was young, the old minister grew up with his mother in Ningling. Later, his mother disappeared. The old minister joined the army. When he was young, he suffered a lot. After entering the capital, he was not used to wealth and wealth. Moreover, the winter in the capital was not too cold, so the old minister did not let them burn the furnace."

Old Man Ye’s life can be said to be a legendary life. If there were records of the grandfather in this world, he would definitely be included in the "Family Family". Until now, he still maintains his life habits when he was young. As the only Duke of the Jin Dynasty, he wore coarse cloth clothes on weekdays and farmed in the yard by himself. He did not need ice or cold in summer or burned carbon in winter. Except for drinking strong wine and eating meat, his other life habits were no different from when he was plowing fields in Ningling before.

Speaking of this, Old Man Ye greeted the Ye family and said, "Go and get two stoves over to avoid the coldness of Your Majesty."

Soon, the Ye family brought two copper furnaces over, and the red charcoal fire was burning in pain.

The room suddenly became warm.

The emperor and Ye Sheng each sat on the edge of a copper stove.

After the emperor sat down, he sighed: "My husband is the most hero in the Jin Dynasty, but now he is still living the life of a commoner. It is said that there are countless people in Yonglefang, and they are so embarrassed to get into the ground."

Ye Sheng narrowed his eyes and smiled, "I have my own personal pleasure. I am happy to live such a life."

"It's almost dark now. Your Majesty is here to come to the ill house at this time. I wonder if there is any order?"

"Nothing big is going to happen either."

Only then did the emperor figure out what he was going to come and said with a smile: "Some things should be discussed with my husband."

"Please say it, Your Majesty."

The emperor smiled and said, "During the daytime, a military newspaper in the southwest was sent back to the capital."

Hearing this sentence, Ye Sheng became interested.

He has fought for decades, and although he has been trapped in the capital for more than 30 years, he is still very interested in these things.

"Is there any progress in the southwest?"

The emperor nodded and said, "Southwest Army Daily, Li Xin, the Marquis of Jing'an, sent a surprise troops to cross the Motianling from Didao to Yinping, and then attacked Jiangyou and Fucheng. About ten days ago, Li Xin's troops occupied Mianzhu in one fell swoop."

Ye Sheng tugged his hands and laughed: "What a Li Xin, Mianzhu is broken, and the southwest is not far from peace."

"I remember that after Li... that person took Mianzhu, it took half a year to destroy the capital of Southern Shu and seize the southwest in one fell swoop."

Ye Sheng originally wanted to say Li Zhijie, but when he remembered that the Pingnan Army had now become a "rebel", he did not say Li Zhijie's full name.

The emperor laughed a few times and said, "It's my husband who taught me well."

"The old minister didn't teach him too much."

Old Man Ye remembered Li Xin who hadn't seen him for a year and said with emotion: "This kid is very spiritual and a capable person."

The emperor nodded and said, "He is indeed very active in Chang'an."

While speaking, the Ye family members had served tea. The emperor took the hot tea, took a sip in his hand, and then looked up at Ye Sheng, who was white-haired, in front of him.

"Honey, I'm here today. First, I'm talking about the war in the southwest with my husband, and second, there's something I want to ask my husband for advice."

Ye Sheng originally wanted to lower his head to drink tea, but when he heard this, he put the tea on the table next to him, and lowered his head slightly: "Your Majesty has something to do, just say it."

The emperor was silent for a while and said, "Honey, he crossed the Motian Ridge in Chang'an and attacked Mianzhu in surprise. If the southwest is pacified, how many successful will he have?"

Ye Sheng lowered his head and thought for a while, and replied: "If you don't consider the main general, Chang'an will have at least seven or eight successful efforts in the southwest, but the main general is Ye Ming, and the most of this contribution will be divided by Ye Ming."

The emperor nodded and suddenly said something stupid.

"He has made too many contributions in Chang'an..."

"It is his credit for my ascension to the throne. It is also his credit for the generals in the capital who can reduce their family members."

"It is his credit for pacifying the southwest now."

Speaking of this, the emperor slowly stood up and bowed to Ye Sheng.

"I want to ask my husband, why should I treat Li Chang'an?"

Ye Sheng stood up and glanced at the emperor deeply. After a long time of silence, he spoke slowly.

"What does your majesty mean?"

"My husband should also know the words that the master is so powerful."

Ye Sheng frowned slightly.

The four words "The Great Master" are considered tacit understanding in the court. Everyone knows it in their hearts behind their backs, but no one will get it on the table to say it.

Not to mention that the emperor himself said it himself.

The emperor lowered his eyebrows and said, "I am very grateful for the kindness of Chang'an. I don't want to harm him at all. Please ask the old marquis, what should I do?"

Ye Sheng sighed long.

"Your Majesty, Chang'an has no bad intentions."

"I also believe that Chang'an is now and has no bad intentions."

The emperor's words mean that Li Xin may change in the future.

Ye Sheng was silent for a long time, and finally lowered his head and said, "What are your instructions?"

The emperor bowed to Ye Sheng again.
