Unparalleled Concubine

   Chapter 912 White-haired General

Now that Mu Ying is back, the Shu Palace will naturally become lively. In the evening, Zhao Jia is also invited from the palace to the Shu Palace for dinner, but there are not too many people at the dinner table, just a small table, only the three of them sit. On the table, there are seven or eight side dishes, and two pots of spirits from the capital.

  Mu Ying is the main family, so she took the initiative to stand up to help Li Xin and Zhao Jia fill up the wine, then sat down and said, "When does Lord Hou plan to enter Beijing?"

Just now, he has roughly learned what happened in the capital from Li Xin, and also understands that the southwest must be involved in the chaos of the capital at this time, so the current question is not whether to enter the capital, but when to enter. Beijing, and how to keep Li Xin safe.

Now, several of them already have the Southwest in their hands. As long as Li Xin is still there, the Southwest can be united. Whether it is Zhao Jia or Li Shuo, they will work in the Southwest in a down-to-earth manner. Whether or not the capital can get the most benefit is not the most important thing, the most important thing is to ensure the personal safety of Li Xin.

If Li Xin died in the capital, or was imprisoned in the capital, Li Shuo in Ningzhou would probably be suspicious of the Mu family before long, and Zhao Jia was unlikely to continue to rule in the southwest. A prerequisite for the Southwest to be able to stand up to the court.

  The Marquis of Jing'an raised his glass and toasted the two friends. After drinking, he said, "There has been definite news sent over from the capital, and the little emperor is indeed in big trouble."

Having said this, he smiled: "And in the afternoon, I also met Ji Huan's son in the palace of the king of Shu. This former fourth highness, after more than ten years, still refused to give up, and when he smelled the smell of meat, he thought Mix a kick, and don't weigh how many kilograms or taels you have left."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Jia said without hesitation: "Even if the prince wants to choose a clan, King Qi will never consider it, Emperor Jing has sons, and many sons, this kind of prince of the previous generation has long been Forgotten by the government and the opposition, ten years ago he might still have a chance to fight, and now he still has this kind of delusion, it's just a fool's dream."

   "Even the youngest son of Emperor Jing is much more useful than His Royal Highness King Qi."

   Emperor Taikang has a total of eight sons. Emperor Yuanzhao is the first son and the eldest son. The youngest son has just turned four years old this year.

   "I didn't think about any intersection with Ji Huan."

The Marquis of Jing'an smiled and said: "This fellow has talent but no virtue. When he was a prince, he was narrow-minded and had hatred with me. He can live to this day, purely because of the benevolence of the first emperor. If I am the first emperor, he is now also dead."

In fact, Emperor Taikang also thought about doing something to his brothers before he died, and even started to take action. However, since Taikang five years ago, he suddenly fell ill, so he put his mind on the southwest and the north, and no longer The brother who won the heirloom in the past took it seriously, but later because of Li Xin's affairs, most of his energy was divided, and Ji Huan, the king of Qi, was able to live happily ever after.

Li Xin ate a few mouthfuls of food and continued, "The current situation in the capital is still under the emperor's control, but he is too ruthless to kill people, and he is not in charge. It won't take long for those civil servants to take the initiative. As long as the promise goes on, the forces in the capital who are still watching may have some other thoughts."

The biggest problem of Emperor Yuanzhao is that he has no pro-government, no legal ruling power, and he cannot control the court situation. He now controls the capital and relies entirely on the three imperial guards in his hand. This kind of emperor's pro-army is independent of the court. Not bound by the court.

   But if it takes a long time, Jinwuwei, Jingzhaofu, Imperial City soldiers and horses, and even the forbidden army outside the city may shake the camp, and then it will be the time when the emperor's throne is really unstable.

   The forces in the entire capital are intricate and complicated, and after Ye Lin left the capital for Hanzhong, the Ministry of War also fell into the hands of the civilian officials. If the Ministry of War really fell to Shen Kuan and others, it would be possible to check and balance the military power.

   And... at this time, the forces behind the princes in the capital may have already begun to contact Shen Kuan and the Zaifu, and there will be at most another month.

   Zhao Jia pondered: "Master Hou is still waiting and watching?"

   "Let's see if the heads of the Zhong and Ye families will return to Beijing."

Li Xin said indifferently: "Northern Xinjiang is not very peaceful now, the chances of Chong Xuantong returning to Beijing are not high, but his eldest son, Chong Wu, the deputy general of Yunzhou City, may return to Beijing to preside over the family, and my senior brother Ye …”

  The Marquis of Jing'an was silent for a while, and then said, "Senior Brother Ye is a scholar in his bones, respecting the orthodox, he may return to Beijing from Ningling to support the emperor, but..."

   When he said this, he stopped talking and took a sip of wine in silence.

   Zhao Jia sighed slightly, then continued Li Xin's words.

   "But the emperor may not believe him."

   Li Xin laughed and raised his glass.

   "Stop talking, drink."

  …………

When Li Xin was drinking in Jincheng, a blue carriage entered the city from the west gate of the capital. After the carriage entered the city, it drove straight to Yonglefang, and finally stopped at the main entrance of Chen Guogong's mansion, and then walked out of the carriage. An old man in ordinary clothes.

  After the old man entered the palace, the servants of the palace immediately saluted him respectfully.

   "Congratulations to your grandfather to return to the mansion."

  The old man is naturally the current Chen Guogong Ye Ming.

   The old prince Ye Sheng died of illness at the turn of the eighth year of Taikang. It has now been more than two and a half years. It was only a few months away, and Ye Ming has been in Ningling for three years.

  According to his temper, he is unlikely to leave Ningling even if it is a big thing, but such a big incident in the capital still disturbed the old man who was filial piety in Ningling's hometown.

   After Ye Ming returned to Chen Guogong's mansion, he put on a plain white uniform, got on the unremarkable carriage again, and said slowly, "Go to the palace."

   The next person immediately drove and took him to the gate of Yonganmen.

After the    notification, Ye Ming soon met the emperor at Weiyang Palace.

   He is the head of the Ye family. In terms of military status, he is even higher than Li Xin. He is one of the most influential people in the entire Jin Dynasty. If he wants to see the emperor, it is naturally impossible for the little emperor to disappear.

  After entering the Weiyang Palace, Ye Ming, whose hair was half white, was about to kneel on the ground and salute the little emperor.

   Emperor Yuanzhao quickly raised his hand and said, "The old prince is already old, so you don't need to be more polite."

   "Xiao Zheng, bring a chair for the old man."

  Ye Ming is only in his teens Xiao Ye Sheng, and he is sixty-five years old this year.

   He has aged very quickly in recent years, and the ravines on his face can clearly see the old state.

  After Ye Ming sat down, Emperor Yuanzhao glanced at the old man cautiously, and said, "The old prince came to see me in the palace at this time, I don't know if it was..."

   Ye Ming took a deep breath and said, "Old minister... At this time, I was supposed to be filial to my father in Ningling, but when I heard that something happened in the capital, I rushed back to the capital to take a look."

   "Although the old minister is old and his body and bones are not as good as before, he is still somewhat useful."

   said, he looked up at the emperor, lowered his head again, and took a deep breath: "Your Majesty, is there anything I need the help of the old minister?"

   The implication is that it is not convenient for the emperor to kill, he can help the emperor to kill.

   The little emperor sat on the throne, looking at the white-haired general in front of him, his hands trembled slightly.
