Unparalleled Concubine

   Chapter 456 Yang Conspiracy

  On the eleventh day of the twelfth lunar month, the first year of Taikang's reign, the emperor officially issued an decree to marry Li Changan, Marquis of Jing'an, and Princess Qinghe.

   The reason is that the late emperor wanted to see the nine princesses get married before he died, so on the day of the late emperor's death, the world decreed, sacrificing the late emperor's spirit in heaven.

  Although it is a bit far-fetched, this statement finally makes sense, so the next day after the decree, the whole capital began to get busy to organize the wedding.

All the servants in the Marquis of Jing'an Mansion were busy, buying things, arranging places, and then preparing marriage papers and other things. Busy without touching the ground.

   Even Chen Shiliu's mother and younger sister, Chu Qi, were called into the Jing'an Marquis Mansion to help in the mansion.

   Even so, there are still not enough people, so Xiaohui called some people temporarily from other places to help arrange the Jing'an Marquis Mansion.

   As the protagonist, Li Xin, after receiving the imperial decree, left the Marquis of Jing'an Mansion, where he did not know where to go, as if the busyness here had nothing to do with him.

   In the afternoon, Jinling City finally ushered in a heavy snow.

   By evening, the snow was already full.

Li Xin didn't help in the Jing'an Hou's mansion. In fact, he didn't understand the trivial etiquette at all. On this snowy night, he was sitting across the table from the old man Ye Sheng in Chen Guogong's mansion, cooking beside the table. With a jug of wine.

  Li Xin poured a glass of steaming spirits for Old Man Ye, then let out a sigh of relief and poured himself a half glass.

   He doesn't like drinking very much, but on this snowy night, a glass of strong wine is still very warm.

  It is undoubtedly a very elegant thing to be able to cook wine in the house on a cold, windy and snowy night.

   Old man Ye squinted his eyes and took a sip of wine, then opened his mouth and asked, "Do you have enough staff over there?"

"more or less."

   Li Xin put down the wine glass and sighed: "I should be reluctant to come here, but on the day of the wedding, Master Ye has to send some reliable people to help."

   "This is natural."

   Ye Sheng raised his head and drank the remaining half cup of hot wine in one gulp, then reached out and poured himself a glass. He held the wine glass in his hand, and then looked up at Li Xin.

   "Ye Mao is on his way back."

  Li Xin also poured himself a glass of wine and said with a smile: "This disciple knows, I heard that he didn't kill the Northern Zhou family, but brought most of them back."

  Ye Sheng took a deep breath and said, "Because of this, His Majesty's anger is not clear, I am afraid he will be a little unhappy."

"Will not."

  Li Xin said with a smile: "Although Your Majesty is very angry with the Northern Zhou family, but anger will naturally dissipate most of it when you calm down. Ye Mao killed half of the people, which is enough to offset the anger in Your Majesty's heart."

   Having said this, Li Xin paused for a while, then smiled and said, "It's just that Fan Yang Lu, I'm afraid he won't be able to escape this sword."

Ye Sheng ate a few mouthfuls of vegetables and said in a sullen voice, "There was no need to be so troublesome, killing half of the people is no different from killing all of them, Ye Mao has already done it, does he still expect those who have nostrils on their heads? The Northern Zhou family, will you be grateful to him in the future?"

Li Xin lowered his head and took a sip of wine, then said slowly: "This point, the disciple did not understand for a while, but there is also Zhao Jia beside Ye Mao, they must have their reasons for doing this, everything When they enter Beijing, the truth will be revealed."

   Ye Guogong was silent, and finally sighed.

   "Forget it, children and grandchildren have their own blessings, so I don't need to worry so much about this old man."

   "You kid, don't care about the affairs of your mansion today, and run over to find this old man, won't you follow me to drink with this old man?"

   "There is one thing I need to ask Master Ye."

   Li Xin bent down and poured Ye Sheng a glass of wine, then sat down and spoke slowly.

   "Master Ye, if the Pingnan Army leaves Shu and wants to invade Jinling City, is it possible?"

   "Absolutely impossible."

   Ye Sheng shook his head firmly: "Not to mention Li Shen, who has never fought in a big battle, even if his father, Li Zhijie, is still alive, it is impossible to use the Pingnan Army to attack the capital."

   "But they've raised the flag."

  Li Xin took a deep breath and said solemnly: "About half a month ago, Li Shen officially called the abolition prince and wanted to crusade the imperial court..."

   Before Ye Sheng could answer, Li Xin suddenly moved.

   The Marquis of Jingan closed his eyes and thought for a while, then muttered to himself.

   "I figured it out."

   For the past two days, this question has been haunting Li Xin's mind. He couldn't understand why Li Shen acted like this, but after discussing it with Ye Sheng, the question suddenly became clear to him.

  The old man Ye was holding the jug with a calm expression.

   "What did you think of?"

   "Li Shen raised his flag and did not send troops, not because he wanted to attack the imperial court, but to force the imperial court to take the initiative to attack them."

   "By forcing the army of the imperial court into the boundary of Shu County, which is known as the 100,000 Mountains, the Pingnan Army will have a chance of winning."

This intention is obvious from the perspective of God, but if he is in the game and can only see a corner of the land, it is difficult to understand. The reason why Li Xin can figure it out at this time is largely due to Benefit from the information handed back by Mu Ying.

   But it’s useless to figure it out.

   Because this is a conspiracy.

   As long as the banner of abolishing the prince is raised over there, the imperial court will have to use the fastest speed to destroy this force. If the imperial court cannot do it, the prestige of the imperial court will be attenuated at the greatest speed.

   Ye Sheng thought about it for a while, and figured out the taste, and then the gray-haired old man shook his head, a little helpless.

   "Li Shen is a really remarkable person. He seems to be an unremarkable waste prince, and he has used it to the extreme."

   Li Xin had calmed down at this time. He lowered his eyebrows and said, "If Li Shen can use this kind of public opinion as a means, we can naturally. Besides, the disciple has buried the line in the southern border, so there is no way to take him."

   The line in Li Xin's hand was the Mu family and those who remained in Nanshu.

   In recent years, the most hated of the remnants of Nanshu is the Ji family of Dajin. Now Li Shen, the Marquis of Pingnan, not only did not help them to restore the country, but also helped the "Prince" of the Ji family. Naturally, these remnants would not be willing.

   Even if His Highness Li Xing was responsible, the survivors of Nanshu would have some dissatisfaction in their hearts.

   This is the flaw in Nanshu that Li Xin can currently see.

Old man Ye took Li Xin and sat down, said with a smile, "Okay, you shouldn't think about these things for the time being. The most important thing right now is that you have to marry the princess well. As for matters in the southern border, at least it's the same. It's the end of the year."

  Li Xin blinked and looked at the old man.

   "Master Ye, take a guess, can Senior Brother Ye accompany you this year?"

   Ye Sheng glanced at Li Xin angrily.

   "Which pot can't be opened and lifted."
