Li Xin’s words meant that he wanted to make Jincheng look like he really surrendered after a hard battle. In this way, after Ye Ming arrived in Jincheng, everyone was reasonable in terms of face.

At least not too fake.

Only when Ye Shaobao has a reason to believe it. If it is too fake here, even if Li Xin has a good relationship with the Ye family, Ye Ming will probably not believe it when he comes here.

If you believe it, you will be in conjunction with Li Xin.

If it is a bit fake and things are exposed in the future, Ye Ming can be said to have been deceived by Li Xin. This seems to be no different, but the difference is very big, so Li Xin must make the appearance in Jincheng as soon as possible.

On that night, Li Xin and Zhao Jia talked with Zhuang in the night and spent all night. It was not until the next morning, when it was dawn, that Zhao Jia walked out of the quiet room with a yawn. Before leaving, he bowed to Li Xin and smiled bitterly: "Marty, I haven't closed my eyes for two days, I really can't stand it."

Li Xin got up and gave him a look, smiled at Zhao Jia and said, "What are you going to do after Brother You'an returns to Beijing?"

Zhao Jia was stunned for a moment and smiled and said, "What does this sentence of the marquis mean?"

Li Xin smiled and said, "I remember when I first met Brother You'an, I asked Brother You'an why he gave up Ye Mao to follow me. Brother You'an said that he would be an aide in the Ye family for the rest of his life. Only by following me can he have the chance to win a wife and a son."

"I agreed to Brother You'an at that time."

Marquis Jing'an said with a smile: "Now, Brother You'an has helped me a lot. After returning to the capital, I can give Brother You'an activities. With Brother You'an's contribution, I can guarantee that it will be a prefect in the prefecture or a chief minister in the six ministries. It is not difficult for the Minister of the People's Republic of China to be the governor of the Prefecture or to be the head of the Sixth Ministry."

"After Brother You'an entered the official career, he dared not say that he would go to the court to become the minister. But as long as I am still in the court in the future, it will not be difficult for Brother You'an to become the Minister of the Sixth Ministry in 10 or 20 years."

Such words are a huge temptation for scholars.

None of the scholars does not want to enter the officialdom to show their skills. People like Zhao Jia who have been studying since childhood naturally have this idea. However, he is the son of a general of the Duke of Chen's house and cannot take the scientific examination in this identity. Old Man Ye wants to leave him in the Ye family as an aide to Ye Mao, so he has never been able to go to the scientific examination.

Now, Li Xin's words are the dream that Zhao Jia had been pursuing before.

Zhao Jia's sleepiness all night disappeared instantly.

He looked up at Li Xin, pondered for a long time, finally gritted his teeth and smiled reluctantly: "Marty, becoming an official in the court is indeed my goal, and now this is the same idea. However, after the Marquis returns to the capital, there are still many risks in the capital, and Marquis Jing'an will not be too stable. My subordinates want to stay in the Marquis' Mansion for another two years. After two years, when the Marquis's side is stable, my subordinates will become officials again."

Speaking of this, the young man who likes to wear white clothes smiled and said, "Mr. Marquis, don't be too moved. After all, if something happens to the Jing'an Marquis Mansion, even if the subordinates become officials, they will not be able to escape the involvement."

Marquis Jing'an smiled.

"Brother You'an, don't worry, I'm different from other people. Even if one day the Jing'an Marquis Mansion is gone, I have a way to prevent you from being implicated."

Zhao Jia bowed deeply to Li Xin.

"Then I will agree with the Marquis. Two years later, I will leave the Marquis' Mansion of Jing'an and become an official."

This scholar, three years older than Li Xin, stood up and said with a smile: "Subordinate should not be a magistrate. If you go out to be an official, you will start as a magistrate. After all, your subordinates are now temporarily acting as a magistrate in Mianzhu, and becoming a magistrate can be considered a magistrate."

Li Xin laughed in silence and patted his shoulder.

"Okay, two years later, I will find you a shortage under Jingzhao Mansion."

…………………………

Soon, five days passed.

It has been five days since Li Xin's imperial guards entered Jincheng. In five days, the wounded and soldiers of Li Xin's troops have received a good rest. Marquis Jing'an finally had a good rest for a few days, and his whole spirit is much better than before.

That morning, Li Xin got up early and led Zhao Jia, Ye Mao and others to wait at the East Gate of Jincheng.

About half an hour later, a group of more than a dozen people rushed towards Jincheng on the official road.

The first person was dyed with hair and beard, but he was quite heroic. It was the general of this Western Expedition, the young guard of the court, Ye Ming and Ye General Ye.

The general is over fifties this year, but he is not very old-fashioned. After getting close, he turned over and dismounted. Li Xin and others stepped forward to meet him and saluted the general one after another.

Li Xin bent over slightly, lowered his head and fisted and said, "Last general, Li Xin, have seen the general!"

Deng Ai broke Shu like Li Xin, but because of his disagreement with the chief general Zhong Hui, he was falsely accused of rebellion and death by Zhong Hui the next year.

The relationship between Li Xin and Ye Ming is naturally much better than that between Deng Ai and Zhong Hui, but after all, it involves interest relations, so Marquis Jing'an was quite respectful at this time.

Others also saluted Ye Ming one after another.

The young master Ye Mao even knelt down and kowtowed, "Children's kowtow to my father!"

After Ye Shaobao got off the horse, seeing Li Xin's appearance, he quickly stepped forward three or four steps, helped Li Xin up, and said, "What is Chang'an doing? You're so polite!"

Li Xin stood up and smiled and said, "In the army, my senior brother is my younger brother's superior. You must have the etiquette you should have."

After Ye Ming helped Li Xin up, he pulled Li Xin's sleeve and looked up at Jincheng behind Li Xin, marveling.

"To be honest, Chang'an, you said that at first you received the news of Jincheng's surrender. Brother Wei thought that Chang'an and the Li family... wanted to lead the Western Expedition Army into the trap. After repeated confirmation, Brother Wei had to believe that Chang'an, you really took down Jincheng by relying on your own strength!"

"Awesome."

Ye Ming sighed: "Heroes are young. I have been founded in the Jin Dynasty for more than a hundred years. I have never had a shocking young hero like you, Chang'an!"

Li Xin lowered his head slightly and said with a smile: "It's all the best plan for senior brother. I'm just following the plan. Besides, if the senior brother hadn't been in the southwest hinterland, I'd probably have been attacked by the Pingnan Army and eaten alive. This time I took down Jincheng, if it were the credit, the senior brothers alone would have occupied 60%, the imperial guards' brothers were 30%, and Ye Mao had half a century, and the younger brothers had half a century, and no matter how many, they would not dare to make a contribution."

Hearing Ye Mao's name, Ye Shaobao remembered that his son was also by his side. He turned his head and looked at Ye Mao who was kneeling on the ground, and said, "I heard that you have done a good job with your uncle. Let's get up. I'll talk to you again when I look back."

The young master got up obediently and stood behind.

Ye Ming then pulled Li Xin's sleeve and continued to speak.

"Chang'an, you are too humble."
