Unparalleled Concubine

   Chapter 378 Ye Shi

   "Li Shen..."

   Old man Ye shook his head and said slowly: "Li Shen has been reporting illness for more than half a year, and he has never come out of the gate of the Marquis of Pingnan."

   "Will he run away?"

  Li Xin frowned.

   "Can't run away."

   Ye Sheng laughed and said: "Your Majesty is more worried about him running away than you, so he sends people to Pingnanhou's mansion every day to condolences on his condition, plus the dense eyeliner near Pingnanhou's mansion, he can't escape no matter what."

   Li Xin opened his mouth, wanting to tell about Li Shen still having a son, but hesitated for a while, and finally did not speak.

   Although he and the Ye family have a close relationship now, they have not yet reached the point where they have nothing to say.

   Today, even the emperor Taikang may not know that Li Shen still has a son.

   This thing works well, and there is still a lot of room for utilization.

  Ye Sheng drank a few sips of tea, but always felt that it was not very refreshing. He immediately stood up and instructed the maid, "Go set up a table, and the old man and the Marquis of Jing'an have a good drink."

   Li Xin smiled and did not refuse.

  Things in the capital were chaotic and disorderly. Li Xin had just returned to the capital, and many things could not be seen clearly, so he needed to have a good discussion with Chen Guogong.

   Chen Guogong's office is very efficient. With only one incense stick, plates of dishes are brought up from the back and placed in a cool place in the yard according to Old Man Ye's instructions.

  The old man brought a glass of wine to Li Xin himself, and then said in a deep voice, "What is your majesty going to do?"

  Li Xin took a bite of the dish and said with a smile: "Since my grandfather guessed that His Majesty is in control, he should be able to guess how His Majesty moves."

   Ye Sheng took a sip of his wine and asked tentatively, "Forbidden Army?"

  This old guy has been living in the capital for 40 years, from being a reckless man, he has become a person...

   Li Xin clicked repeatedly, raised his glass to Ye Sheng, and said with admiration, "My husband has a good eye."

   "It's not a good eye."

  Ye Sheng drank a glass of wine and sighed: "After thinking about it, His Majesty wants to speed up his power, so he can only do it from here."

   Li Xin smiled and said, "What tricks does the old man have?"

   "How can the old man have any clever tricks."

Ye Sheng laughed and said: "This man Pei Jin, the old man watched him grow up, this guy has an elm head and is very rigid, but he also has his advantages. , I haven't heard of any evil deeds, people in the forbidden army call him Pei Tie-mian, it's not easy for you to move him."

   Li Xin nodded and said, "It's really not easy, but there's no other way, he's blocking His Majesty's way."

   Ye Sheng glanced at Li Xin with a half-smile.

   "Is it blocking your way too?"

  Li Xin shook his head slightly: "Even if Pei Jin comes down, it's unlikely that I will be in charge of the Imperial Army, and Zhang Xiang's side will not be able to get through."

   Having said this, the Duke of Jing'an turned serious.

   "Does my grandfather know the last edict of the late emperor?"

"Know."

Li Xin took a deep breath and said, "On the last edict of the late emperor, only Chen Ju and Zhang Xiang saw the emperor put it in with their own eyes, and only the two of them can prove it. amulet."

"My grandfather can pay attention to this Duke Haoran. In the near future, no matter how turbulent the court situation is, the status of this Duke Haoran will remain unchanged. He will be an undisputed civil official in the early Taikang Dynasty. leader."

   Ye Sheng smiled bitterly and said, "So what if you know this, civil and military can't get along. Besides, the old man is already old, so he can't put his face down to befriend this big-headed scholar, right?"

   Ye Sheng was ten years older than Zhang Qu, so he could indeed be called that.

  Li Xin laughed.

   "With such an identity as my husband, naturally I don't need to flatter Zhang Qu, but I just have to pay attention and don't mess with him in the past few years."

   The two were talking and chatting, until the sky darkened, and the two of them had already drank two full jars of Toasting Wine, of which Old Man Ye drank at least two-thirds.

  Li Xin stood up staggeringly, bent towards Ye Sheng and said, "Master Ye, it's getting late, and the disciple has retired."

   Ye Sheng was dazed at first, but when he heard Li Xin's words, he stood up slowly, and said somewhat confusedly, "Boy... What do you call me?"

   "Master Ye."

  Li Xin blushed and said with a smile: "Master Ye drank too much and forgot. You drank too much just now and took me by the hand and insisted on accepting me as an apprentice. I had no choice but to come down."

  Li Xin patted old man Ye on the shoulder and reminded: "Master Ye think about it, do you remember?"

   Obviously, this is Li Xin negotiating terms with the Ye family.

  Old man Ye was not quite sober, rubbed his eyes, and then said in a dizzy manner: "Okay...that seems to be the case."

   Li Xin laughed: "Master Ye just remembers it. When Master Ye wakes up tomorrow, don't forget it."

   "Forget... can't forget."

  Li Xin reluctantly stood still, then bowed to Ye Sheng and said with a smile, "If that's the case, the disciple will go back first. When a good day is chosen that day, the disciple will come back to kowtow to Master Ye and pay his respects."

   Ye Sheng's eyes were blurry, as if he hadn't heard.

  Li Xin blinked his eyes and said with a smile: "Master Ye, rest assured, the disciple will inform His Majesty in advance."

   Ye Sheng woke up like a dream, reached out and patted Li Xin on the shoulder, and said drunkenly, "Okay, okay, it's very late today, you... go back first."

   "The old man asked Maoer to send you."

   After a while, Ye Mao came to Ye Sheng's yard, stretched out his hand and put the drunk Li Xin on his shoulders, barely supporting Li Xin.

   The young man smiled bitterly and said, "Grandpa, or just let Brother Li sleep in my house for one night, he is so drunk."

  “No…”

  Li Xin reluctantly opened his eyes and shook his head: "I can't sleep in the bed outside."

   Ye Mao was speechless.

  You guy, you've been out for more than half a year, and you haven't slept anywhere, how come you can't get used to the bed outside?

  Ye Sheng stretched out his hand to support the door frame and waved his hand: "Go, take Li Xin back to his house in person, and send it to the Marquis of Jing'an before you come back."

   Ye Mao had no choice but to help Li Xin to the carriage, and then the carriage departed from Duke Chen's mansion and headed towards the Marquis of Jing'an mansion.

  After Ye Mao and Li Xin walked away, the old man Ye, who was drunk, suddenly sobered up a lot. He looked at the direction Li Xin left and muttered to himself.

   "Okay...a slick doll..."

   Li Xin's apprenticeship by accident just now was actually negotiating conditions with Chen Guogong's mansion.

   If the Ye family wants to ally with the Jingan Houfu in the future, you Ye Sheng must accept me as an apprentice. In the future, the two will be tied together and inseparable.

   Li Xin was not qualified to lead the Imperial Army, and his qualifications and status were not enough, but if he worshipped this great Jin army **** as a teacher, then it would be a matter of course for him to lead the Imperial Army in the future.

   Ye Sheng pondered for a long time at the door, and finally shook his head helplessly.

   "Forget it, since you are asked to take care of the Ye family, you can't be left anonymous."

   said, old man Ye turned around and went back to sleep.

  …

  Because Jing'an Hou's mansion is also in Yonglefang, it is not very far from Chen Guogong's mansion, and soon Ye Mao sent Li Xin to him.

   The young master labored to carry Li Xin on his back and knocked on the door of the Jingan Houfu.

   He groaned while knocking.

   "Brother Li, you are too heavy."

   Li Xin lay on his back and said in a daze.

   "Little Master, you should call me..."

   "Uncle Master..."
