At this time, the emperor asked these "religious people" to come to Beijing and wanted to sacrifice to heaven at this point, so the intention was actually very obvious.

He wanted to find an excuse for this war.

To put it bluntly, the current emperor wants to push the responsibility for this war to the illusory God.

After all, unless it is a last resort, the Central Plains dynasty rarely takes the initiative to attack. Only when it is unbearable or when there is a conflict of interest related to lifeline will the Central Plains dynasty launch a large number of troops and attack foreign enemies.

At present, the Yuwen tribes in the north have not met these two conditions.

First of all, these people from the remnant Zhou have been quite honest in the past thirty or forty years. Although there are occasional conflicts on the border, there are no large-scale wars and the Jin Dynasty has not suffered much losses.

Secondly, after the Yuwen tribes withdrew from Jimen Pass, they had no territorial conflicts with the Central Plains dynasty. After all, the land outside the pass is not suitable for farming. To be honest, the Ji family did not have any interest in there.

Therefore, if this war is to be fought, it is purely for the reputation of Emperor Taikang, or as Emperor Taikang said, it is to eliminate disasters for future generations.

However, this reason is not very convincing to the people. Officials in the court can suppress them with authority, but the public opinion of the people in the world is not so easy to calm down.

Therefore, the emperor was preparing to use these religious figures to guide the people's ideas. Just imagine, if the head of Taiyi Palace, who became famous throughout the Jin Dynasty, and the junior brother of Chunyang Immortal, Yiyangzi, said when he was divining that there were hidden dangers in the north that needed to be calmed down, or that war was about to occur in the north, then there would be no pressure on the public opinion of the Northern Expedition.

Ichiyoko sat opposite Marquis Jing'an, looked at Li Xin a few times, lowered her head slightly, and asked carefully: "Marty Li, what do you mean?"

Li Xin said with a smile: "Master Taoist, who are you asking about the Taoist divination?"

Ichiyoko is a professional in this regard, and he did not hesitate to answer.

"Of course I ask the way of heaven."

Marquis Jing'an nodded and said, "Master, this will is unpredictable."

Ichiyoko frowned and lowered her head and said, "What the Marquis said is."

Li Xin continued to smile and said, "Master, God is above all else. No one can say that he can really understand his thoughts. Even if the Taoist master can understand and say it out, but others cannot understand it, they may not believe it."

"What does the Marquis mean?"

Li Xin lowered his head and drank a sip of tea, and smiled and said, "Old Taoist Master, God can't speak, but God has a eldest son in the world who can speak. When the old Taoist Master is divining, if God doesn't answer, you might as well consider the thoughts of this legitimate son of heaven. After all, their family is always the same."

The legitimate son of heaven is naturally the emperor.

Yiyangzi wiped the sweat from his forehead, and then bowed respectfully: "The old Taoist can understand the level that the Marquis said, but the old Taoist doesn't quite understand... What is this legitimate son of heaven?"

Li Xin glanced at Yoko and then smiled.

"Why would Benhou give you some advice?"

Yiyangzi stood up and bowed deeply to Li Xin.

"Thank you, the old man, for your kindness."

……………………

After sending the charlatan away, it was almost noon. Li Xin had lunch at home, then left and headed for Duke Chen's mansion.

Today is a special day. Not only is Yiyangzi, the old charlatan, coming to Beijing, but there is another acquaintance in the capital to come back.

The two families were not far away. Li Xin walked for a while and then walked to the gate of Duke Chen's mansion. Without having to inform him, he walked straight in, grabbed a servant from Duke Chen's mansion, and asked, "Is the Fourth Young Master back?"

This person is also a manager of Duke Chen's mansion. He lowered his head and said, "Go back to the Marquis, the Fourth Young Master has arrived in the capital, but he has not returned home yet. The young master went out to wait early in the morning. I guess he will come back in a while."

Li Xin nodded and patted the man on the shoulder.

"Okay, go and do it."

Before Ye Lin came back, Li Xin had not waited for him. He walked straight to the backyard of the Ye family, arrived at the door of Old Man Ye's small yard, and reached out to knock on the yard door.

After a while, the gate of the courtyard was slowly pushed open. The one who opened the door was no longer the old man who was energetic in the past, but a middle-aged man with a fair face.

When Li Xin faced Old Man Ye, he always looked hip-smiling, but when facing this middle-aged man, he rarely became serious and bowed his head respectfully.

"Li Xin has met Mr. Qin."

Qin Yuanhua nodded slightly to Li Xin and said, "Marty Li is here to visit my husband?"

Li Xin nodded and smiled, and asked, "Mr. Qin, what's wrong with his master?"

“It’s stable for the time being.”

Qin Yuanhua sighed and said helplessly: "But my husband still refuses to drink. When Mr. Li sees him, he still has to persuade him."

Li Xin nodded with a smile.

"I'll go in and take a look at Master Ye."

Qin Yuanhua made a way out and nodded, "Please, Marquis Li."

Li Xin then walked in. As soon as he stepped in, he smelled a strong smell of Chinese medicine. He waved his sleeves, dissipated some of the smell of medicine, and walked in.

Old man Ye was lying on the lounge chair in the yard, squinting his eyes to bask in the sun, looking leisurely and leisurely.

Li Xin walked over, squatted beside the old man, and said with a smile: "Master Ye, please see you are here."

Ye Sheng then opened his eyes, glanced at Li Xin, and said lazily: "Come on, have you died?"

Marquis Jing'an reached out to pat the dust behind him, and then he didn't mind and sat down.

The old man was lying on the lounge chair, and Li Xin sat on the ground with such a butt, and the two of them looked almost tall.

After hearing the old man's words, Li Xin shook his head and smiled: "Master Ye, I am filial to you. I will come to see you as soon as I have time. You can't talk nonsense."

Old man Ye glared.

"The last time you came to me, you asked me when I would die. I have been remembering this for seven or eight days!"

"I am old now and have a good temper. If I had seen you decades earlier, you bastard, the grass on the grave would have been several feet tall!"

After saying that, the old man lay down angrily.

Li Xin didn't mind either, and sat next to the old man and smiled.

"Master Ye, I heard that Senior Brother Xiaoye is coming back soon."

Ye Sheng glanced at Li Xin with a squinted look.

"Are you here to see me or to see him?"

"Look at it, look at it."

Li Xin smiled and said, "It's mainly to visit you."

Ye Sheng groaned.

"You have always been a person who will not enter the Three Treasures Hall for no reason. Let's talk about it, what's the matter?"

Marquis Jing'an sat on the ground and looked up at Ye Sheng.
