From last autumn, Li Xin led his team to cross the Motianling Mountains until the end of March of the third year of Taikang, only more than half a year had passed since the Jing'an Marquis almost broke Jincheng by his own efforts. This seemed to be a miracle that had never been seen since the opening of the Jin Dynasty, but in fact, if you look carefully, you can find that there are many loopholes in the middle.

The most obvious loophole is the Hanzhou rebels who don’t know where they came from.

Even if the Pingnan Army did evil in Shu County, the local people would attack him and spontaneously organize the rebel army, it would be impossible to pull up an army of 50,000 people at once. Moreover, they all appeared in the Hanzhou Prefecture.

How many families are there in Hanzhou Prefecture?

Even according to the method of conscription of the Great Jin Dynasty, one or even one for fifteen households was drawn. It was impossible to pull up a 50,000 troops in the Hanzhou Prefecture. What's more, the 50,000 people raised in a short period of time also caused harm to the Pingnan Army!

This simply doesn't make sense.

If you report to the court, the court may not recognize it.

Li Xin was silent for a while and smiled and said, "Senior brother, no matter where the Hanzhou rebel army came from, they helped us after all. As long as we report it and give them a title of rebel army, the southwest will be pacified in the future, and this rebel army will naturally return to the east and will not reappear."

Ye Ming held Li Xin tightly.

"Chang'an, if you report your statement, will the prime ministers from the three provinces agree with it?"

Li Xin lowered his eyebrows and said, "It doesn't matter whether they recognize it or not, Your Majesty will recognize it."

Emperor Taikang knew about the remnants of Southern Shu early in the morning. When he was the King of Wei, Li Xin told him about the remnants of Southern Shu. At that time, the two wanted to use these remnants to restrain the Pingnan Marquis' Mansion, or use this as the key to unlocking the dilemma in the southwest.

At that time, Emperor Chengde also knew Mu Ying's identity.

The Hanzhou rebel army helped pacify the Pingnan army, which was originally a transaction made by Li Xin "replaced" Emperor Taikang and made with the remnants of Southern Shu. After the matter was completed, the court would give these Hanzhou rebel army a reasonable and legal identity.

It’s just that Li Xin, the middleman, made some difference.

Of course, neither the Ye family nor the prime ministers of the three provinces knew about this. After all, such things are shameless. If they spread, how could the emperor do business with the thieves in Nanshu?

Ye Ming frowned deeply and didn't say anything.

Marquis Jing'an reached out to pour a glass of wine for Ye Ming, then lowered his voice and said slowly: "Senior Brother Ye, I shouldn't have told you about these things, but we are a family. Since you asked, I will tell you a few words."

Li Xin looked around and confirmed that only the Ye family father and son were two, and whispered: "The Hanzhou rebel army is the remnants of the Southern Shu who died but did not die back then. It was through them that I could take down Jincheng in one fell swoop!"

Ye Ming's face changed suddenly.

He frowned and said, "The old Southern Shu has been destroyed for 30 years. These rebels heard that they have been in trouble in the southwest. This is the source of disaster for the Great Jin Dynasty. How can you be in a relationship with them in Chang'an?"

Ye Shaobao looked solemn.

"Chang'an, you are a person with a bright future, but don't take the evil path. If this matter is discovered by others, even if you make a great contribution, this stain will ruin you!"

As he said that, he sighed.

"It's also because of my brother's recklessness. I shouldn't ask about this matter."

He looked solemn and said, "Don't worry, Chang'an, this matter can be heard from you and my father and son. No fourth person will know about it in the future."

"As for the court, I will help you more for you. If it really doesn't work, I'll hide the Hanzhou rebels and keep silent. The mention is that your rebels have broken Jincheng."

In fact, Ye Ming's words are somewhat humid. He may not tell outsiders what Li Xin said, but he will definitely explain it to Ye Sheng clearly, and this matter will become a secret and will be passed down within the Ye family.

Maybe one day it will be "useful".

Marquis Jing'an said with a smile: "Senior brother, don't panic. Since I dare to do this, I am not afraid to tell it out. Although this matter is not easy to report to the court on the surface, it doesn't matter if others know about it."

Ye Ming was puzzled.

"Why is this?"

"Because your Majesty knows."

Li Xin smiled and said, "This matter was originally a business that Your Majesty did with the survivors of Southern Shu. The survivors of Southern Shu helped His Majesty pacify the southwest. His Majesty gave them a legal identity. From then on, they were no longer survivors of Southern Shu, but citizens of the Great Jin Dynasty."

"Southern Shu has been destroyed for 30 years, and most of these people have lost the intention to restore the country. They just want to live in peace. After this, they can settle down in the southwest with peace of mind."

Ye Ming then suddenly realized.

The general lowered his head and drank a sip of wine, with a smile on his face: "So that's it. I'll say that Chang'an, you are so cautious, you shouldn't be able to do such a bold thing. Since His Majesty is presiding over this matter behind the scenes, then we have nothing to be afraid of. We only hide the identity of the survivors of Southern Shu, saying that they are the Hanzhou rebels, and the rest are reported to you in truth."

Li Xin smiled and said, "Senior brother is wise."

"Can you report to the court for the southwest affairs?"

Ye Ming put down his wine glass and smiled and said, "Chang'an, you have broken up Jincheng. After receiving the news, I sent a letter to the capital as soon as possible. As for the specific details, you and I have to discuss carefully before writing the details to the court."

Li Xin lowered his head and calculated it, and said slowly: "Calculate the time. If the senior brother uses 600 miles to speed up, it will only take two days to send the news of the Southwest victory to the capital."

Ye Ming patted Li Xin on the shoulder and smiled and said, "As soon as this news arrives in the capital, your Jing'an Marquis Mansion in Chang'an will be destined to be a generation of Duke and Marquis."

Li Xin blinked and said nothing.

It is too difficult for a family to share weal and woe with a dynasty.

If the court received news about the war in the southwest, according to Li Xin’s understanding of the Emperor Taikang, he might have…

Li Xin was thinking about the matter in the capital. Ye Ming, who was beside him, poured him a glass of wine, picked up the glass and cried it with Li Xin.

"There is another thing, I want to communicate well with you in Chang'an, brother."

Li Xin also picked up the wine glass, and both of them drank it all in one go.

"Senior brother, please tell me."

Li Xin said with a smile.

Ye Shaobao was silent for a while and said, "Brother Wei knows a little about you and Li Shen. He is your biological father. Now he is in prison and will die if he enters the capital."

Speaking of this, General Ye gritted his teeth.

"If Chang'an doesn't want Li Shen to enter Beijing, we can do a game. Just say that Li Shen is dead, so your biological father can at least save your life."

"Chang'an, what do you mean?"

Li Xin put down his wine glass and smiled.

"Senior brother, Li Shen has nothing to do with me. If I had this idea, how could I destroy the Pingnan Marquis Mansion with my own hands?"
