Chapter three hundred and two
Whether to rebel is a question that Li Xin has been considering in recent years.
With his knowledge that he has been ahead of the world for nearly a thousand years and his family's accumulation in more than ten years, if he is determined to rebel at this time, there is actually a great opportunity. He will slowly break out of Jianmen Pass with the southwest as the base. If it goes well, it will take five or six years, and if it doesn't go well, it will slowly subvert the Great Jin Dynasty in more than ten or twenty years.
When he first came to this world, he was far from what he was thinking now. At that time, he even wanted to find a way out for himself and live a little more comfortable life.
Over the years, as his identity changed, his mind changed little by little. It was not until the beginning of this year that he wrote a letter to the emperor to abolish the prime minister and took charge of the rule. When the emperor shook his head and refused, Li Xin finally realized that the conflict between him and the imperial power could no longer be alleviated.
When he left the southwest, he told Mu Ying that he would go to Beijing once and for all to resolve the conflict with the court. At that time, he had already made up his mind to do what he should do.
Facing General Ye’s question, Li Xin was silent for a while before slowly breathing a sigh of relief.
"Senior brother think, what should I do?"
“It’s very simple.”
Ye Ming put both hands in his sleeves and said, "There are two ways in front of you. The first is the prescription for handing over the sky thunder at this time, and then let go of the southwest. It is best to make the southwest surrender to the court. You and the eldest princess hide in the Jing'an Marquis Mansion in the capital, like my father, who has been closed for decades."
"From then on, everything outside has nothing to do with you. No matter the life and death of the people in the southwest Mu family or their life and death, you should not ask about it. Hidden in the marquis' mansion, turn a blind eye to the matter outside the window, and enjoy peace with peace."
This is actually what Mr. Chen, Ye Sheng, did back then.
At that time, he was victorious from the Northern Zhou Kingdom and the suspicious Emperor Wu was still in power. In order to avoid disaster and to ensure the safety of his brothers, Ye Sheng took the initiative to hand over all the military power in his hands and hid in his Duke Chen's mansion. Although he was named the right governor of the Grand Governor's mansion, he really did not go out of the gate and did not step out of the gate, and there were very few people.
Even when the old subordinates who were fighting with Ye Sheng were suppressed and excluded by the court, he could only turn a blind eye to the matter outside the window and pretended not to know anything.
Another teacher of Li Xin, Wang Zhong, was Ye Sheng's former subordinate in the Northern Expedition. He joined the Yulin Guard and was a lieutenant. He worked in the Yulin Guard for thirty years and was still just a lieutenant.
So during the 80th birthday party of Old Man Ye, Wang Zhong brought seventeen old brothers to Duke Chen’s mansion to see him. Old Man Ye was so happy that he passed away within two days.
For decades, this Marshal Ye felt guilty. After that day, he felt that his old brothers were still thinking about him and did not blame him, so he closed his eyes with peace of mind.
After Ye Ming paused, he continued, "But after doing this, no matter whether your brothers in the southwest die or if you and the eldest princess have any problems in the future, you can't blame anyone, after all, the road is chosen by yourself."
Li Xin grinned reluctantly.
"Has Mr. Ye's old subordinate died?"
"Dead."
"My father handed over military power and most of the old brothers who followed him to fight were handed over power, and then joined the court as an official. In the ten years after the northern expedition, my father's fifteen generals had very few good ends."
General Ye sat down with a blank expression: "My father's vanguard Hou Yong made countless contributions. After returning to the capital, he was only a lifelong marquis. His son Hou Jingde was only a Zuolang General of the Yulin Guard until he was forty."
"The fourth brother of my Ye family is just the General of the Central Guard of Yulin."
"After the Northern Expedition, the Ye family and my father's old subordinates were suppressed by two generations of emperors, so the Duke of Chen, who was famous and extremely powerful, you see."
Speaking of this, he glanced at Li Xin and said calmly: "If it weren't for you, Li Chang'an, and Hou Jingde's family, the next generation, would have lost their family. Most of them were the life of working in the Yulinwei, and my Ye family would not be much better. After me, Ye Mao might be able to inherit the title, but he would never be able to become a general in Zhenbei Army."
"The fourth brother probably will be a fourth-grade and third-grade general in his life, and it will be almost the same for the next generation."
"It was you who suddenly broke into the chaos in the capital and disrupted all this suddenly. You took His Highness the King of Wei back then to change this situation. It was your appearance that made my father see some turning points."
Speaking of this, General Ye glanced at Li Xin lightly.
"Otherwise, you, who were only sixteen or seventeen years old at that time, could you persuade my father to take the Ye family into that dangerous battle for the throne? Relying on Zhong Xuantong's sword?"
Ye Ming smiled disdainfully: "Zhong Xuantong also kowtows when he sees my father."
In just a few short words, Li Xin was sweating profusely.
I can't remember the battle for the throne more than ten years ago. Li Xin only remembers that he was able to help the Wei Prince's Mansion to help Hou Jingde and the Ye family, thus helping His Highness the King of Wei become a dark horse and stand out in that chaos in the battle for the throne.
In the following years, Li Xin could not help but feel a little satisfied when he recalled the battle for the throne.
It was not until this time that he heard Ye Ming’s words that he understood how lucky he was back then!
At that time, it was the Ye family, or the Ye family, who were suppressed to the extreme. If they did not take any action, the next generation would lose their identity as a general and slowly disappear into the core of power of the Great Jin Dynasty.
At this time, Li Xin brought His Highness the King of Wei into the venue, which happened to be the best.
So, Old Man Ye bet on His Highness the King of Wei, which led to the later Renchen Palace transformation, the three heroes of the Dragon, and the rise of the Ye family and the Hou family again!
Thinking of this, Li Xin reached out to wipe the sweat from his forehead and smiled bitterly: "After my senior brother said this, I suddenly woke up. It was not me who threaded my needles more than ten years ago, but it just happened to catch up..."
"If it weren't for this luck, I'd probably have all the bones melted at this time."
"At that time, you were only sixteen or seventeen years old in Chang'an. It was already amazing to have that courage."
"After the Renchen Palace changes, the Ye family and the Hou family, including the Beizheng Group, have improved a little. The old man is very happy and thank you very much."
"That's when this happens, the old man will accept your disciple."
Ye Ming glanced at Li Xin and said calmly: "Otherwise, at your age in Chang'an, I can only be condescending to be a student for you."
Marquis Jing'an sat opposite Ye Ming and breathed a long sigh: "After my senior brother's words, the situation that year suddenly became clear. At that time, I was still a child and I missed Master Ye too much."
He smiled bitterly.
"I guess my conversation in front of Master Ye at that time was as ridiculous as a child in his eyes."
"The old man likes you very much."
Ye Ming said slowly: "In the early years of Taikang, I was still a general at Jimenguan. The old man wrote several letters to me, and each letter mentioned your name in Chang'an."
Speaking of this, Ye Ming sighed.
"Speaking of this, in the past ten years, you have been filial to the old man in Chang'an. We sons cannot compare to you."
Li Xin sighed when he mentioned his late mentor and said nothing.
General Ye knocked on the table with his hand and continued, "The best situation is probably the old man who walks the first path. Even so, the old man is still a little angry and has been addicted to alcoholism for decades."
Ye Ming slowly let out a sigh: "He didn't drink much when he was in the army."
Ye Sheng had a bad temper before his death. He loved drinking and beat people. Now, when he thinks about it, he is indeed because he is uneasy.
Marquis Jing'an lowered his head slightly, was silent for a while, and said, "So..."
