Unparalleled Concubine

   Chapter 416 Old Man Ye's Wisdom

   "Li Shen's audacity is bigger than his father."

Ye Sheng took a sip of tea and sighed: "His father Li Zhijie, when he was in the capital, was trembling in his work and never dared to offend anyone. When he came to him, he directly dared to set fire in Yonglefang. It was the emperor himself. Don't dare to set fire like this."

   "It's a gamble."

  Li Xin took over the words, his voice calm: "Now that the Southern Border and the imperial court are irreconcilable, Li Shen naturally has to make a choice between the two. Since he can't get along anymore, he simply rips his face."

   Having said this, Li Xin paused.

   "And from the point of view of the disciples, the two generations of Pingnan Marquis in the Pingnan Marquis Mansion are still more energetic than the old Marquis."

   Having said that, Li Xin glanced at Old Man Ye with a smile.

   "At least Master Ye didn't dare to hold his own troops and seize the land to be the king."

   "Fuck!"

   Ye Sheng cursed.

   "He Li Zhijie was much less timid than Lao Tzu. The Pingnan Army he led at that time was all recruited in the southwest by himself. Lao Tzu led the Northern Zhou Dynasty, all of which were forbidden troops in the capital. Can they be compared?"

  This old guy is good friends with Li Zhijie, and they are a little bit dissatisfied with each other. The most taboo thing is that some people say that he is no better than Li Zhijie.

   "If Lao Tzu had an army with the surname Ye, now..."

   Having said that, the old man Ye looked around and didn't say any more.

   But the meaning in his words is still very obvious. If the forbidden army at the beginning followed the surname of the leader like the Pingnan Army, the pattern of the world should not be like this at the moment.

In fact, this is also what Old Man Ye said. He had been fighting Beizhou for eight years. For eight years, he was the biggest person on the front line, so he would not have no cronies under him. In addition, after defeating Beizhou, he took a lot of prisoners. If he want to be king...

   Chances are great.

   However, this old man finally chose to return to the capital obediently, not only because of the current situation, but also because he had a loyal heart.

The concept of   loyalty to the monarch is a bit incomprehensible in the face of the concept of the interests of later generations, but in this era, it really exists in everyone's heart, even in the original Li Zhijie, there is also the intention of loyal monarch returning to Beijing.

  Li Zhijie did not come back because he was afraid of death.

  Li Xin patted the old man Ye's back and said with a smile: "Master Ye, don't worry, the disciple said something wrong, you are the most courageous old man, okay?"

   Old man Ye snorted and ignored Li Xin.

  Li Xin smiled and poured him a cup of tea.

   "Does Master Ye know about the Shanyin Xie Clan?"

"Know."

A disdainful smile appeared on Ye Sheng's face: "Isn't it the descendant, the Xie family has not heard of any powerful people recently, but some young people from the Xie family entered the capital some time ago, and I heard that one of them was in Yulin. Why did Wei ask this all of a sudden?"

"nothing."

Li Xin squinted his eyes and said indifferently: "That Xie family's middle-ranking general, the disciple met just now, and it's not a good idea. If the young people of the Xie family have this kind of virtue, Master Ye should stay away from it in the future, and don't follow him. What contact do they have."

   Ye Sheng was interested and asked, "What virtue?"

  Li Xin thought about it.

   "Probably similar to that of the young master."

   Seeing Ye Sheng's bad expression, Li Xin quickly changed his words: "It's definitely not as good as the young master. At least the young master is a lot more sensible. This young man named Xie Jing is of Li Chun's level."

Ye Sheng's face was not very good-looking, and he said: "Actually, Ye Mao is not as bad as you think, but the old man is a little worried about his accident. He has been taking him around for so many years. He is not as smart as you, and many things have to be taught many times. , the old man doesn't have that much patience to teach him, so now he seems a little reckless."

   Having said that, Old Man Ye glanced at Li Xin.

   "When you do things in the future, take him by your side. You are more patient than this old man. If you take him for a few years, he should be enlightened."

  Li Xin nodded with a smile.

   "Okay, if there is a chance to go to the southern border in the future, the disciple will bring the young master."

   Actually, old man Ye's youngest son, Ye Lin, also gave birth to two sons, but this old man is more partial and doesn't like seeing those two grandsons very much. He only likes the grandson of the long house.

   Ye Sheng was violent in his early years, and Ye Mao was not transparent enough, so he never had the patience to teach this eldest grandson well.

  Many capable people are like this. They are very good, but their children and grandchildren are not very good, because they can only use it for themselves and can't teach.

   However, Old Man Ye's two sons are still very powerful. Whether it is Ye Ming or Ye Lin, they are both dragons and phoenixes.

"Just take a look at what's going on here in the capital. In two days, you'll go back to the forbidden army. In any case, the forbidden army is the key. If you can control half of the forbidden army, you will have a big weight in the emperor's place. There will be many more, and there will be capital to speak in the future.”

   "This disciple saves it."

   Li Xin smiled and said, "In this turmoil in the capital, Master Ye thinks, can Li Shen escape?"

Ye Sheng frowned and thought for a while, then slowly said, "The old man can't see it either. It stands to reason that in this situation, it is difficult to leave Beijing, but with Li Shen's temperament, since he has made his move, he can at least be 80% sure. Yes."

   "Disciples feel the same way."

  Li Xin nodded slowly: "That's why His Majesty asked me to catch Li Shen, but I didn't agree. If I can't do this well, I'll be guilty."

   Ye Sheng glanced at Li Xin and smiled.

"I'm afraid that your mind is not so simple. The southern border is the opposite. For the time being, Your Majesty can only rely on you and Hou Jingde. If you... have a layout in the southern border, Your Majesty can only rely on you. At that time, your weight will be limited. will be heavier."

  Li Xin shook his head and said, "Master Ye is thinking differently."

   The young Marquis of Jing'an had a firm tone.

   "If the southern border starts to raise troops, it is absolutely impossible for the disciple to be the head coach. At most, he will be the deputy of the head coach. As for the candidates for the head coach, there are only two people."

   A smile appeared on Li Xin's face.

   "That is Chong Shuai and Ye Shaobao. Now if Chong Heng lets Li Shen escape, the Chong family is unlikely to get this opportunity, then the position of the head coach can be said to be settled."

   Li Xin looked at Ye Sheng and smiled.

   "At that time, Master Ye can meet Brother Ye."

   Ye Sheng moved slightly.

About fourteen years ago, he stepped down from the position of the right governor of the Grand Governor's Mansion. His eldest son, Ye Ming, went out of Beijing to take over the command of the Zhenbei Army. In a blink of an eye, more than ten years later, Ye Ming only came back twice. For this reason, Old Man Ye has a special preference for his eldest grandson.

   Old man Ye looked at Li Xin slowly.

   "That Zhenbei Army?"

Li Xin laughed: "Didn't Senior Brother Ye Lin also go to the Zhenbei Army, and the delivery will happen at that time. If Senior Brother Ye can win this national war, then it is just enough to let Pei Jin retire and Senior Brother Ye can enter the Grand Governor. Government deacon."

   Ye Sheng frowned.

   "This can't be done. The Ye family's authority is too heavy. It will be hated by the court and the public, and it will also make Your Majesty jealous."

   The old man's tone was firm.

   "If you are full, you will lose."

   Li Xin said with a smile: "Then let Senior Brother Ye take the initiative to return to Zhenbei Army."

  Jing'an Hou poured a cup of tea for old man Ye.

   "If the imperial court starts a war with the southern border, what does Master Ye think the odds of winning are?"

   "If you say, Ye Ming comes back as the head coach, the odds of winning are at least 70%."

   Ye Sheng raised his head with a proud tone.

   "The old man is far better than Li Zhijie, and the son of the old man is naturally far better than the son of Li Zhijie."
