Unparalleled Concubine

   Chapter 815 The fifth son of the Ye family

   Facing Ye Lin's question, Li Xin nodded slowly after being silent for a while.

   "Senior brother, there may be major changes in the capital this year. At this time, it is inconvenient for me to contact Senior Brother Ye Ming. I would like to ask the Ye family to make some preparations."

   Ye Lin looked solemn.

   He looked at Li Xin and said solemnly, "What is the big deal to let you, Chang'an, return to Beijing from the southwest at this time?"

  Li Xin lowered his head and hesitated a little.

  He looked up at Ye Lin and slowly let out a breath.

   "Senior brother, does the Ye family have any idea of... competing for the reserve?"

At the beginning, Li Xin, Ye Lin, and Hou Jingde were three people who helped the emperor to win the heirloom. Before he won the heirloom, the emperor promised the Ye family that he would marry a daughter of the Ye family as a noble concubine. Later, the emperor kept his promise and married Ye Ming's eldest daughter, Ye Xuan, as his concubine. , was named Concubine De, Concubine De entered the palace in Taikang for three years, Taikang gave birth to a son for four years, and was the fourth son of the emperor. Now this fourth prince is seven years old in terms of virtual age.

If the emperor's life is not long, then the situation in the capital today is very different from the eighteenth year of Chengde ten years ago. During the Chengde years, the princes were all grown up and their talents were revealed. At that time, who was qualified to compete for the crown completely depended on Chengde. The Son of Heaven's personal will.

   Because of this reason, the struggle for succession ten years ago was particularly intense.

But at this time, the Emperor Taikang was only thirty-three years old, and 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 he reached adulthood. It is clear which prince can be outstanding. After all, all princes are still children and cannot show their talents.

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

  If a prince's mother clan is strong enough, then even if he is relatively mediocre and has the assistance of his mother clan, he will be able to sit firmly in the throne in the future and will not fall into power.

   Of course, doing this also has the hidden danger of foreign relatives interfering in politics, but the new emperor and foreign relatives are regarded as their own family, and when they become adults, how can they slowly take back their power.

   When the big deal comes, just kill a few people.

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

   Among them, Concubine De, who came from the Ye family, and Concubine Shu, who came from a family family, are both considered powerful families.

   And the families of the two empresses are generals. The generals may take power, but they will not be involved in politics. This 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 was accustomed to the ups and downs of the capital was frightened to death by Li Xin's words.

   He got up and looked left and right. After confirming that no one was eavesdropping around, he turned back and gnashed his teeth at Li Xin.

   "Changan, what nonsense are you talking about?"

   "I'm not talking nonsense."

  Li Xin's face was calm: "The concubine De in the palace is the daughter of Senior Brother Ye Ming and the niece of Senior Brother. Concubine De gave birth to the fourth prince. Although it is not a direct descendant, it is not without the possibility of competing for the crown."

   "As long as the Ye family wants to get involved, I will stand by the Ye family..."

   Li Xin wanted to continue to say something, but Ye Lin had already interrupted him.

The Marquis Ningling looked ugly: "Your Majesty is in his prime, where can you talk about the matter of fighting for the reserve? Chang'an, your words have been heard, not only your Li family, but also my Ye family. Implicated!"

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

   "Senior brother thinks, apart from this matter, what else can make me fight my life to return to Beijing at this time?"

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

Before that, there was no news in the capital mentioning this matter. Those in the upper circle of power in the capital just heard that the emperor was ill and it was not convenient for him to go to court, but because the emperor was only in his thirties, no one thought of the emperor. It will be life-threatening!

   Some people even secretly speculated that the emperor was starting to get tired and lazy, so he excused himself from illness.

   But Li Xin's words suddenly shocked Ye Lin.

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

   "Changan, what you said...is it true?"

   "I'm not quite sure."

Li Xin closed his eyes and exhaled slowly: "But according to my judgment, there is at least a 70% chance of this matter, and my brother may not know it. I just returned to the capital yesterday and went to the palace to see Your Majesty. Your Majesty is here. Time…"

   "I'm terribly ill."

   Having said that, Li Xin stood up from his chair and bowed his hands to Ye Lin.

   "Senior brother may not be able to make a decision about what my brother said just now. You might as well send someone to send a letter to Senior Brother Ye Ming, and let him make up his mind. If you make up your mind, Senior Brother, you will have someone come to Jing'an Houfu to find me."

  Jing'an Houye looked sincere.

   "Master Ye treats me as if he were his own, and the two senior brothers treat me like brothers. As long as the Ye family has this idea, the younger brother will definitely help."

   Ye Lin was stunned for a while before returning the salute to Li Xin.

   He smiled bitterly and said, "Chang'an, this matter is too big, I really have no choice but to let the eldest brother make up his mind."

Having said this, after a pause, he smiled bitterly: "But even if this matter is true, the eldest brother will most likely not let the Ye family participate. I have an in-law, but it is only considered that the Ye family lost a daughter, and there should be no too much contact."

   "Up to now, our family has not had much contact with Empress De Concubine, eldest brother, he has only seen that grandson once."

   Having said that, he looked up at Li Xin and gave a deep bow.

   "If Chang'an is concerned, I will tell the eldest brother, but according to my understanding of the eldest brother, he will probably not interfere, nor will the Ye family interfere."

   Ye Siye said apologetically to Li Xin, "I've disappointed Changan."

   Li Xin smiled.

"Senior brother misunderstood, I'm not here to do something with the status of Concubine De, but to ask about the attitude of the Ye family. It doesn't matter whether the Ye family intervenes or not. Anyway, with the current power of the Ye family, no matter what Whoever is the emperor will not hurt the foundation."

   Having said that, Li Xin said slowly: "Senior brother, let Senior Brother Ye Ming give him an attitude as soon as possible. If the Ye family is not interested, then the younger brother will do his own thing."

   To be honest, Li Xin came here this time, and it can be said that he was very sincere to the Ye family.

He is the teacher of the prince and the uncle of the prince. As early as three years in Taikang, he was labeled as a "princeling", and he can even be called the leader of the "princeling" because of his size in the imperial court. He, the prince's teacher, was willing to come to the Ye family to say such a thing, which meant that if the Ye family wanted to intervene, he would have to deal with his students backhand.

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

  If the Ye family would not intervene, then once the emperor died, Li Xin, the prince's guardian, had no choice but to stand behind the prince and help the prince secure the throne.

   After listening to Li Xin's words, Ye Lin remembered Li Xin's identity.

   "Chang'an righteousness, the Ye family will keep it in mind."

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

   "Senior brother is too polite."

  The Marquis of Jing'an said in a deep voice, "Master Ye said before his death that I am the fifth son of the Ye family, and the affairs of the Ye family are also my affairs."

   After talking with Ye Lin, it was almost noon. Ye Lin wanted to keep him at home for dinner, but Li Xin insisted that he refused and got up to leave.

   When it was almost noon, Li Xin left the Marquis of Ningling and walked towards his home.

   At this time, he didn't know that there was already a holy purpose waiting for him in his Jinganhou mansion.
