Unparalleled Concubine

   Chapter 457 Reasons not to kill

  The wedding date is set on the twenty-seventh day of the twelfth lunar month.

   That is to say, the preparation time is only half a month. This time seems a bit rushed for ordinary people, not to mention the emperor's family marrying a daughter.

However, all this is not a problem under the will of the emperor. The yamen from the Ministry of Rites only spent five or six days to help the Jingan Houfu to prepare seven, seven, eight, eight things. , Jing'an Hou's mansion is almost there.

  However, this day was extraordinary.

   Because Ye Mao is back.

   The young master of Chen Guogong's mansion hastened all the way, and finally returned to the capital before the New Year.

Of course, there were more than 10,000 Northern Zhou clans accompanying them. These clan elders have now become prisoners of the imperial court. The life along the way was not easy. Because of the heavy snow and cold, when they arrived in the capital, one or two of these aristocratic clans had already died. Hundreds of people.

  Ye Mao camped outside the capital and instructed the people in Zhechong to watch them. He himself brought a few generals and went to the capital to face the saint.

  Because it was a triumphant return, there were still many people who greeted Ye Mao at the gate of the city, including Ye Mao's father Ye Ming, and Jing'an Hou Li Xin, who had nothing to do.

  Two people and dozens of guards were waiting for Ye Mao's arrival at the gate of the city.

   It was about noon when Ye Mao, He Song, the commander of the Zhechong mansion, and Zhao Jia, the dog-headed military division, appeared in the field of vision of Ye Ming and Li Xin. After the three approached, they dismounted one after another.

   Ye Mao knelt directly on the ground and kowtowed to Ye Ming.

"Father."

   The other two saluted Ye Ming with a respectful tone: "Master."

   Then they turned to look at Li Xin. He Song, who was in his fifties, bent over and clasped his fists at Li Xin: "General Li."

   Zhao Jia, who had a lot of beards on his face, also bowed to Li Xin.

   "Master Hou."

Men in this era will start to grow beards when they reach a certain age, but they are not completely neglected. In fact, the ancients spent far more energy on beards than later generations, so Zhao, who has not taken care of beards for a long time, Jia, looks a little sloppy.

  Ye Ming stretched out his hand to pull Ye Mao up and asked, "Are you hurt?"

   Ye Mao shook his head.

   "Father, this time son..."

   As soon as he finished saying these words, Ye Ming waved his hand and motioned him not to say any more.

   "You came out of Beijing by imperial decree. If you have anything, you should be the first to report it to your majesty. You go to the palace to face the saint. If you have anything to say, wait until you get home."

  Ye Mao took a deep breath, bowed his head and said, "I will obey."

   So he and He Song remounted their horses and headed towards the imperial city.

   Described that Zhao Jia, who was a little sloppy, stayed behind and stood beside Li Xin with a smile.

   Ye Ming looked back at the young man in white, and said in a low voice, "Brother Zhao, can I go to Ye's house for a meal with Ye?"

   Zhao Jia's father was a military adviser who followed Ye Sheng. From this point of view, he and Ye Ming were the same generation, so Ye Ming would call him a brother.

   Zhao Jia bowed his head slightly and said with a smile, "This is natural."

   He looked back at Li Xin again, lowered his eyebrows and said, "Master Hou, are we going to have a meal together?"

   Li Xin smiled: "Let's go, let's go together."

   "In the light of Brother You'an, I will also go to Chen Guogong's mansion to have a meal."

  …

   The side hall of Chen Guogong's mansion.

   A table of wine and food was already served, but the husband Ye Sheng did not appear. Ye Ming sat on the main seat, Li Xin sat on the left, and Zhao Jia sat on the right.

   Ye Ming poured wine for the two of them.

   After this General Ye finished pouring the wine, he first toasted each of the two people, then bowed slightly to Zhao Jia, bowed his head and said, "Brother Zhao, Ye would like to know the background of this incident."

   "It's easy to go through."

Without any hesitation, Zhao Jia said, "According to His Majesty's wishes, the young master led the Zhechong mansion to block the Northern Zhou clan, and with those inner guards leading the way, we successfully blocked in front of those clans. In just one encounter, the Northern Zhou family lost nearly half of their lives and lost their ability to resist."

   Ye Ming frowned and said, "How much did you hurt?"

   "Four or five people."

   Zhao Jia said with a smile: "They were all accidentally stepped on."

   "Then why not kill them?"

   Ye Shaobao said solemnly: "If this is the case, it would be easy to kill them."

   "Young Master doesn't want to kill him."

   Zhao Jia lowered his head and said, "The young master said that killing these people is meaningless, and he can no longer bear the bloodshed, so he will simply be sent to the capital to kill the officials in the capital."

   "Fuck!"

   Ye Ming said angrily: "Though those aristocratic families are in decline, there are many great scholars in their families, and many of the civil servants in the capital are their students. Once they enter the capital, how can they be killed so easily?"

   "If Your Majesty feels uncomfortable in his heart, Ye Mao's trip is not only worthless, but may bring disaster instead!"

  Ye Shaobao took a few deep breaths, his face was very ugly.

   Li Xin coughed at the right time and said with a smile: "Senior Brother Ye, don't worry, Brother You An is a smart person. Since he was there and didn't stop Ye Mao, he must have his reasons."

Zhao Jia glanced at Li Xin gratefully, then bowed his head to Ye Ming and said: "Master, I also think it's not good to kill all these people. Although he thinks differently from the young master, it coincides with that, so he didn't say anything. Prevent."

"tell me the story."

   "Uncle doesn't know something."

Zhao Jia said in a low voice, "Someone from the Northern Zhou family was deliberately put there for the court to kill, to be exact, Li Shen and Li Shen were deliberately put there for the court to kill, otherwise if Nanjiang cooperated with these people, they would be killed early in the morning. After crossing the Wei River, I don't know where to go."

   "The purpose of the southern border is to go to the imperial court and throw dirty water on your majesty."

"At this time, if your brain is hot and you kill someone, it is known to the whole world. If the pressure is too great, it is unlikely that His Majesty will bear this sin. In the end, it will only be the young master himself. "

   "It's just right now."

Zhao Jia took a deep breath and continued: "Now those aristocratic clans have come to their senses, they were calculated by the Zhao County Li Clan, and at this stage, it is unlikely that they will fall to the southern border again, Master Ye, don't forget, Some of these people are also well-educated, if the southern border is going to throw dirty water, these people will fall to your majesty, and you can easily block the dirty water for your majesty."

   "And these dirty water will not end up on the little master's head in the end, don't you think, master?"

  Li Xin clapped his palms and smiled: "Wonderful."

   "If I were there, I would probably do the same."

  Ye Shaobao still didn't quite understand. After a long time, he sorted out the matter, and then he sighed slowly.

   "Forget it, this is the end of the matter, whether it's good or bad is not something we can say."

   Zhao Jia lowered his head and his tone was firm.

   "Don't worry, uncle, Zhao Jia grew up in the Ye family, and will not harm the young master of the Ye family anyway. If the young master is guilty of this, Zhao Jia is willing to die."

   Li Xin stood up and snorted.

   "Brother You An is serious. His Majesty's decree is to kill or arrest. Ye Mao will be fine."

   said, Li Xin patted Zhao Jia on the shoulder with a smile.

   "Brother You An came back just in time, just in time for my wedding."

   Zhao Jia smiled.

   "It's not the right time, but the low-ranking people tried their best to come back."

   "Just so that I don't miss Lord Hou's marriage."
