Unparalleled Concubine

   Chapter 961 Not a big problem

Everyone grows up, Li Xin is no longer the charcoal salesman who was shivering in the cold wind, and Ye Mao naturally will not always be that innocent and cute little grandpa. In fact, Ye Ming closed his eyes. After that, he was the third-generation Duke Chen of the Great Jin Dynasty and the new head of the Ye family.

The **** sometimes decides the head, where to sit, and the things in the head are different. In the past, the young master might obey Li Xinyan, but now Ye Mao, who is Chen Guogong, thinks and thinks. It wasn't the same before.

  Without Ye Sheng, without Ye Ming, even the fourth child of the Ye family would have to set up a new portal. At this time, his decision would represent the decision of the entire Ye family. He had to think twice about his words and deeds.

  Li Xin has always been proficient in the world, so he naturally understands this truth, so he told Ye Mao that he would not implicate the Ye family.

The tall and tall Ye Mao, after being silent for a while, slowly spoke: "Uncle Shi has misunderstood, the Ye family has no intention of clearing the relationship, and before my father died, he told me that if there is anything in the future, I can come to you. "

   He took a sip of wine and smiled reluctantly at Li Xin.

   "Since I can ask Uncle Shi for help, there is no reason why Uncle Shi can't ask me for help. In the future, Uncle Shi can use any place where he can use his nephew, and he can open his mouth as much as possible. The Ye family is duty-bound."

  Li Xin didn't say much, he first glanced at Ye Mao, then lowered his head and took a bite of the dish.

   "Your status is different now, you should pay more attention to your words. You are not the only family in the Ye family."

After the two generations of Chen Guogong went, the Ye family brought together the Marquis of Ningling Mansion, including Ye Lin and Yemao's wife and children, there were only ten or so people together. These people can be said to be all the Ye family, but the real Ye family is far away. Not just these ten people.

For example, the Ye family village in Ningling has hundreds of children with the surname Ye. Another example is Jimen Pass in the northern Xinjiang. Although there are not many people with the surname Ye in the northern army in the town of 100,000, in the eyes of the world, these 100,000 people are surnamed Ye. All people have the surname Ye.

  If the Ye family falls, none of these people will end well.

   Ye Mao shook his head: "I have known Shishu for more than ten years. No matter what, Shishu will not harm the Ye family."

   He looked at Li Xin and suddenly grinned.

   "Father said, if Uncle Shi says that he will use the Ye family one day, then he must be 100% sure, otherwise, with Uncle Shi's character, he won't open the mouth."

   "If the uncle really speaks one day, the nephew will definitely bring his family to help him."

   These two sentences are a bit slick, meaning that the Ye family can add to the icing on the cake, but it may not be helpful. It's not like what Ye Mao could say, most of it was really taught to him by Ye Ming during his lifetime.

   But it doesn't matter. After all, it's a matter of life and death. It's not easy to have a position of this level. Moreover, the Ye family has also handed over the power that they can't open to Li Xin.

   Li Xin glanced at Ye Mao helplessly.

   "For your sake, it seems that everything is mine."

   Ye Mao picked up the jug and filled Li Xin, and the two uncle and nephew had another cup.

   After drinking, Li Xin asked, "You have been in Jizhou for the past few years, has there been any news about Yuwenzhao in the north?"

   "Yes, there is a lot of movement in the north."

Ye Mao frowned slightly: "Yuwenzhao's daughter married the emperor, and he was also named a king of Yan. His Royal Highness, the king of Yan, took dozens of subordinates to pass through Jimen Pass a few months ago, and entered in a grand manner. After leaving the customs, he said he was going to swim in the mountains and waters."

"After staying in the pass for two or three months, he left the pass and returned to the headquarters. Now that he has surrendered to the court, he still has a title, and there is no large-scale troops and horses. We can't do anything about him, so we have to watch him come and go border."

The Marquis of Jing'an took a sip of wine and said in a sullen voice: "Where are you swimming in the mountains and water, I am afraid you want to explore the terrain in the pass! These Xianbei people were masters in the pass in the early years, but now they are only two or three generations. , There are still many people alive in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, how can they be willing to herd horses and sheep outside the customs forever? Maybe they want to enter the customs and return to the old capital!"

  The Northern Zhou Dynasty has been established for more than 100 years, and after Sinicization, they yearn for their former life. Many people want to enter the customs and re-enter the old capital to restore the former noble life, instead of being beaten by wind and rain outside the fortress.

Ye Mao has been in Jizhou for five or six years, and he is very familiar with the northern border. Hearing this, he immediately said: "Even so, there is nothing to do with them. Yuwenzhao is now not only the king of heaven, but also the ruler of the state, and there is no imperial court. Document, no one can take him."

Yuwenzhao's daughter, Yuwenque, entered the capital as early as the ninth year of Taikang and wanted to marry the emperor of Dajin, but the Emperor Taikang died of illness and she was forced to stay in the capital. When she wanted to take the Li Xinmen road, Li Xin shied away and gave it to the next emperor.

  The day after Emperor Yuanzhao ascended the throne, the Xianbei Ministry came to worship and offered his daughter to the Emperor to show respect. In order to win over the Yuwen Ministry, Emperor Yuanzhao agreed to the marriage.

  Last year, in the third year of Yuanzhao, when the emperor's period of filial piety for his father expired, he not only married the empress, but also welcomed Yuwenzhao's Yuwenque into the palace and made him a concubine.

   Today's Yuwenzhao is the king of Dajin and a relative of the imperial family.

  The Marquis of Jing An narrowed his eyes and sneered: "It's a pity that I'm not at Jimen Pass, otherwise Yuwenzhao would dare to enter the pass, and I would dare to kill him."

   Killing Yuwenzhao was nothing to Li Xin, at most it was just a rebuke from the imperial court, and without Yuwenzhao as a strong figure, Yuwen's ministries are likely to be torn apart again.

Ye Mao smiled bitterly and said, "That's you, Uncle Shi, we side generals, we wish we could show our hearts to the court to prove our innocence, how dare you rebel against the court, I heard that when Yuwenzhao passed by Yunzhou City, he planted Xuantong. The old guy also invited him to have a drink."

   Li Xin frowned, then spoke slowly.

   "Chongjia... worthy of sharing weal and woe with the court."

The uncle and nephew talked about the situation in Northern Xinjiang for a while, Ye Mao threw the empty jug aside, replaced it with a new jug, and asked, "I heard that Shishu has been staying at his hometown in Yongzhou for the past two years. , don't know the situation in the southwest?"

   Ye Mao is now the Ye family's talker. If he wants to cooperate with the Ye family, he must let him know about the situation in the southwest, otherwise it will be impossible to talk about in the future.

   Li Xin smiled slightly: "I haven't done anything in my hometown for the past few years, but I have another daughter. I have the opportunity to show you."

   Ye Mao asked slowly, "What about the southwest?"

  Jing'an Houye's face was calm.

   "In the southwest there are your fourth uncle and General Pei Jin, who has three ups and downs. There will be a total of 150,000 horses watching the southwest portal. Naturally, there will be no major problems."

   "My nephew heard about it."

   Ye Mao said with a smile: "I heard that the Southwest Army in the southwest can confront the Gyeonggi Imperial Army head-on. The soldiers and horses under the fourth uncle have suffered a lot of casualties due to small-scale conflicts with the Southwest Army."

   He blinked at Li Xin and asked, "Uncle Shi is convenient to reveal, how far is the Southwest Army?"

   Li Xin put down his wine glass and smiled generously: "There should be 150,000 people in the southwest now, and the number should have exceeded the Pingnan Army back then."

   "What about combat power?"

   Ye Mao's eyes were burning.

   "How does it compare to the Pingnan Army?"

   "The more people there are, the more powerful they are naturally."

  Li Xin half-squinted his eyes and smiled implicitly.

   "I think if the Southwest Army comes out in full force, it shouldn't be a problem to lay down Jimen Pass."
