Chapter 36 An old friend returns to Beijing
Zhao Jia is the most capable person in the Jing'an Marquis Mansion besides Li Xin. In some aspects, he even did better than Li Xin. Therefore, when Li Xin returned from the southwest, he left Zhao Jia in the southwest to coordinate many things in the southwest.
Li Xin's original intention was to ask Zhao Jia to return with Ye Ming, but when Ye Ming returned to Beijing, the shadow of the remnants of the Pingnan Army was found in the southwest, so Li Xin asked Zhao Jia to continue to stay in the southwest and become the spokesperson of Jing'an Marquis' Mansion in the southwest.
In other words, the Zhao family has been in the southwest for the years, which is equivalent to Li Xin himself in the southwest.
In the whole five years, Zhao Jia only returned to Beijing twice and visited his wife and children. He lived in Hanzhou City in the southwest the rest of the time. In fact, he became one of the important figures that affected the situation in the southwest in recent years.
Last year, in order to hone Zhao Fang on the one hand, Li Xin also let the child go to Hanzhou Prefecture to "visit relatives", so he sent Zhao Fang to Zhao Jia and asked Zhao Jia to help him take him.
In fact, Zhao Fang has read much more books than Li Xin over the years. Although he called Li Xin a teacher, Li Xin really had nothing to teach him, so he could only throw him to Zhao Jia, the book bag.
Now, Mu Ying has completely controlled the Hanzhou Army, and the Hanzhou Prefecture has become more stable. The remnants of Pingnan Army have been arranged, so there is no need for Zhao Jia to stay in the capital.
In fact, after the Chinese New Year, Zhao Jia and Zhao Fang were already on their way back to Beijing. They should have arrived at this time, but Zhao Jia fell ill on the road and delayed some days before he was delayed until today and never returned to Beijing.
But even so, it will take two days for Zhao Jia to arrive in the capital.
Li Xin promised Zhao Jia that Zhao Jia would stay in Jing'an Marquis' Mansion for two years. Two years later, Zhao Jia started as a magistrate as a magistrate. However, the chaos in the southwest caused Zhao You'an to delay three more years.
Hearing Li Xin's tone, Old Man Ye knew that he would not come back no matter what, the old man groaned and said, "This matter is so soft. You kid owe me a favor."
Li Xin looked at the old man with a smile.
"Master Ye is too flirting with this. The disciples and the Ye family have long been dissatisfied with each other. There is nothing wrong with humanity. The affairs of the Ye family are the affairs of the disciples."
Ye Sheng shook his head slowly.
"That's not what you say. No matter how close you are, you can't suffer any loss, otherwise no matter what it is, it won't last long."
"You are my apprentice, and it is natural to do your best to do your filial piety, but you don't owe anything to the rest of the Ye family. You can do whatever you want. Although I want you to take care of the Ye family more in the future, you can't be unreasonable."
The old man sat up and slowly breathed out.
"When I was a child, my mother taught this principle. She said that the food between brothers should be distinguished one by one, otherwise, even the best brothers would have to fight after a long time."
Old Man Ye is 80 years old this year. His mother has passed away for many years, but when Ye Sheng, who was a little irritated, his tone became less gentle.
Li Xin smiled and said, "Master Ye has great wisdom."
"Bad wisdom."
Old Man Ye rolled his eyes disdainfully.
"At a young age, I wasted so many years in this world, I always have to figure out some truths, otherwise wouldn't this life be in vain?"
"What I said to you is passed down by our ancestors. I have personally experienced it for decades and served flowers and plants for decades before I could figure out the principles of thorough understanding."
Li Xin stood up from the bench, bowed deeply to Old Man Ye, and his face was solemn.
"Disciple has received the teachings."
Ye Sheng nodded with satisfaction, and finally said slowly: "You have been back from the southwest for five years, and the sharpness that should be covered is almost the same."
"From today on, you have to reach out to get what you deserve, otherwise you will always not take it, and others will think you are weak and can be bullied, and they will think that those things are not yours."
Li Xin blinked at Old Man Ye, then smiled and said, "What Master Ye means..."
"The prince is not young."
The old man hesitated for a moment and said, "You are the Prince's Taibao, the Prince's serious teacher. If you should get close, you must get close to him. Let the teacher die."
"The crown prince is the eldest son."
Although Li Xin has been granted the title of Prince Taibao in recent years, he has never been to the East Palace once. Even when the prince goes to his house, he treats him as a receptionist and does not particularly get close to the prince.
After hearing what Old Man Ye said, Li Xin smiled slightly.
"Your Majesty is in full swing. If Master Ye's words are spread, he will be in prison."
My husband curled his lips disdainfully.
"I'm squatting. I'm so old, are you afraid of them?"
Marquis Jing'an shook his head helplessly.
This old man is good at everything, but he has a bad temper.
………………………………………
In the eighth year of Taikang, it was the end of March.
The supplies from the military weapon surveillance have been delivered bit by bit. Every day, people from the Yulin Guard Right Camp sent people to inspect and collect the batch of military weapons surveillance, and then put them into wooden boxes to prepare to send them to Yunzhou.
During this process, the people from the Ministry of War always wanted to intervene, but they were ruthlessly rejected by Yu Linwei. Therefore, these people hated Li Xin somewhat. The memorials of impeachment of Li Xin in the court have never stopped during this period.
However, as long as these memorials enter the Weiyang Palace, they will often be filled with stones and no news will be heard.
The crowd at the Censorate was infuriated and had the urge to kneel down at the gate of Weiyang Palace.
However, at the same time, the Marquis Jing'an, who was at the center of the conflict, did not stay at home honestly, nor did he come to the west gate of the capital in Chen Shiliu's carriage, quietly waiting for the arrival of his old friend.
He waited here early in the morning, and just as it was almost noon, an ordinary blue carriage walked over slowly on the official road to the west.
This carriage is very simple and can only be regarded as the most ordinary carriage. The one who drives is a 14 or 15-year-old boy.
Li Xin sat in the carriage of the Jing'an Marquis Mansion, squinted his eyes and looked at the inconspicuous carriage.
Behind this carriage, at least twenty or thirty people were secretly protected.
Finally, the carriage was approaching, and Li Xin put his hands in his wide sleeves and slowly met him.
When the young man who was driving saw Li Xin, he waved to Li Xin from afar, got off the car and ran towards Li Xin directly, kneeling in the dust.
"I've met the teacher."
Li Xin glanced at the tanned young man and said, "You don't need to be so polite, get up."
Zhao Fang immediately stood up and stood behind Li Xin with a smile.
Li Xin looked up at the carriage, then smiled slightly: "Brother You'an is so timid about his hometown?"
The curtain of the blue carriage was slowly lifted open, and a man in white clothes, about thirty years old, walked down and saluted Li Xin in a regular manner.
"I've met Mr. Li."
Li Xin smiled and pulled his sleeve, looked up and down at Zhao Jia, and then smiled.
