Faced with Ye Lin's problem, Li Xin was silent for a while and nodded slowly.

"Senior Brother, there may be major changes in the capital this year. It is not convenient for me to contact Senior Brother Ye Ming at this time. I would like to ask the Ye family to make some preparations."

Ye Lin's face was solemn.

He looked at Li Xin and said in a deep voice: "What is the big deal that can let Chang'an return to Beijing from the southwest at this time?"

Li Xin lowered his head and hesitated slightly.

He looked up at Ye Lin and slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Senior brother, does the Ye family have the idea of... fighting for the crown prince?"

At that time, Li Xin, Ye Lin and Hou Jingde helped the emperor to fight for the throne. Before the emperor fought for the throne, the emperor promised that the Ye family would marry a daughter of the Ye family as the imperial concubine. Later, the emperor kept his promise and married Ye Ming's eldest daughter Ye Xuan as the concubine and was named Concubine De. Concubine De entered the palace in the third year of Taikang and gave birth to a son in the fourth year of Taikang. He was the fourth son of the emperor. Now this fourth prince is seven years old.

If the emperor had been in real life for a short time, then the current situation in the capital was very different from the 18th year of Chengde ten years ago. During the Chengde period, all the princes had grown up and their talents were revealed. Who was qualified to compete for a deposit at that time depends entirely on the personal wishes of Emperor Chengde.

Because of this reason, the battle for the throne ten years ago was particularly fierce.

But at this time, Emperor Taikang was only 33 years old. The prince of the Taikang Dynasty, the eldest prince, was only thirteen or fourteen years old, and there was still a long way to go before adulthood. It was impossible to fully see which prince was outstanding at this stage. After all, all princes were still children and could not show their talents.

So at this time, the power of the mother tribe is extremely important.

If a prince's mother tribe is strong enough, then even if he is relatively mediocre and has the assistance of his mother tribe, he can hold the throne in the future without losing power.

Of course, doing so also has hidden dangers of foreign relatives interfering in politics. However, the new emperor and foreign relatives are their own family members, and when they become adults, they can slowly regain power.

At worst, just kill a few people.

Therefore, at this time, the power of the prince's mother tribe is extremely important.

Among them, Concubine De, who came from the Ye family, and Concubine Shu, who came from the Zong family, were both considered to be strong in the family.

Moreover, the families of the two empresses are both generals. Generals may take over power, but they will not interfere in politics, which can help the little emperor grow up very well.

After hearing Li Xin's words, Ye Lin's face changed suddenly.

Even a big man like him who is used to the storm of the capital was scared to death by Li Xin's words.

He got up and looked around, and after confirming that no one was eavesdropping around, he turned around and gritted his teeth at Li Xin.

"What are you talking about in Chang'an?"

"I didn't talk nonsense."

Li Xin's face was calm: "The Empress De in the palace is the daughter of Senior Brother Ye Ming and the niece of Senior Brother. Queen De gave birth to the fourth prince. Although she was not a legitimate son, she was not without the possibility of competing for the throne."

"As long as the Ye family wants to participate, I will stand on the side of the Ye family..."

Li Xin wanted to continue saying something, but Ye Lin had already interrupted him with a voice.

The Marquis of Ningling looked ugly: "Your Majesty is in his prime, so where can you say the matter of competing for a sacrificial throne? Chang'an, you will hear what you say. Not only your Li family, but also my Ye family will be implicated!"

Li Xin was still sitting on the chair, reached out to add a cup of hot tea to Ye Lin, and his face was calm.

"Senior brother thinks, besides this, what else can I do to make me live my life and return to Beijing at this time?"

Ye Lin looked at Li Xin blankly, a little confused.

Before this, there was no news in the capital that mentioned this. Those in the upper power circle of the capital had only heard that the emperor was sick and it was not convenient to attend court. However, because the emperor was only in his thirties, no one thought that the emperor would be so ill that his life was in danger!

Some people even secretly speculated that the emperor was starting to get lazy and used the excuse of saying he was sick and not going to court.

But Li Xin's words shocked Ye Lin.

The fourth master of the Ye family was stunned for a long time before he sat back to Li Xin in a daze and lowered his voice.

"Chang'an, what you said...is it true?"

"I'm not sure."

Li Xin closed his eyes and slowly breathed: "But according to my judgment, there is at least 70% possibility of this matter. Senior brother may not know that I just returned to the capital yesterday and went to the palace to meet His Majesty. His Majesty is now..."

"The illness is worrying."

Speaking of this, Li Xincong stood up on the chair and bowed to Ye Lin.

"What I said just now, senior brother may not be able to make a decision. You might as well send someone to send a letter to Senior Brother Ye Ming and ask him to make an idea. If you make an idea, senior brother, please let me come to Jing'an Marquis' Mansion to find me."

The Marquis Jing'an's face was sincere.

"Master Ye treats me as his own, and the two senior brothers treat me like brothers. As long as the Ye family is old, I will definitely help."

Ye Lin was stunned for a long time before bowing to Li Xin.

He smiled bitterly and said, "Chang'an, this matter is too big. I really can't make a decision, so I can only let my elder brother make an idea."

Speaking of this, he paused and smiled bitterly: "But even if this matter is true, the eldest brother will probably not let the Ye family participate. When Concubine De married into the palace in two years, the old man said that although he had married in-laws, he just thought that the Ye family had lost a daughter and had no need to have too much contact."

"To this day, our family has never had much contact with Concubine De, and his eldest brother has only seen that grandson once."

Speaking of this, he looked up at Li Xin and bowed deeply.

"If you are in Chang'an, I will tell my elder brother, but according to my understanding of my elder brother, he will probably not interfere in, nor will he let the Ye family interfere in."

Master Ye apologized to Li Xin: "I disappointed Chang'an."

Li Xin smiled.

"Senior brother misunderstood. I am not going to do something with the identity of Concubine De, but to ask the Ye family's attitude. It doesn't matter whether the Ye family interferes in or not. Anyway, with the current power of the Ye family, no matter who ascends the throne, it will be unharmed."

Speaking of this, Li Xin said slowly: "Senior Brother Ye Ming is ready to give him an attitude as soon as possible. If the Ye family is not interested, then I will do my own thing."

To be honest, Li Xin's visit can be said to be extremely sincere to the Ye family.

He is the crown prince's teacher and the crown prince's uncle. He was labeled as "prince" as early as the three years of Taikang. Moreover, with his size outside the court, he can even be called the leader of the "prince's party". His teacher, who is willing to come to the Ye family to say such things, means that if the Ye family wants to intervene, he will have to deal with his students.

However, with the attitude of the Ye family, it is unlikely to intervene.

If the Ye family would not interfere, then once the emperor was in vain, Li Xin, the prince’s grand security guard, had to stand behind the prince and help the prince settle the throne.

After hearing Li Xin's words, Ye Lin remembered Li Xin's identity. He looked solemn and bowed to Li Xin to the ground.

"The Ye family remembers the righteousness of Chang'an in mind."

Li Xin shook his head and reached out to help Ye Lin up.

"Senior brother, you're so polite."

Marquis Jing'an spoke in a deep voice: "Teacher Ye said before his death that I am the fifth son of the Ye family, and the affairs of the Ye family are mine."

After saying something to Ye Lin, it was almost noon. Ye Lin wanted to keep him at home for dinner. Li Xin insisted on refusing and stood up to say goodbye.

It was almost noon, Li Xin left the Ningling Marquis' Mansion and walked towards his home.

At this time, he didn't know that there was an imperial decree waiting for him in the Jing'an Marquis Mansion.
