Unparalleled Concubine - v2 Chapter 1144

   Chapter 1144 What is my brother’s last name?

During the Qingming Festival, the father and son kowtowed a few times together in front of Ye Sheng’s grave. Li Xin changed the old tombstone of Ye Sheng again, from Chen Guogong to “Ningling County King”, and then Li Xin again He took Li Ping and the two to live in Yejiazhuang for two or three days. On the fourth day, Li Xin returned to the capital with Ye Mao.

Originally, Ye Mao was injured, Li Xin wanted to wait for him to recover from the injury before returning to the capital to take up a post, but after this Chen Guogong learned about the Shenji Camp, he couldn’t wait to return to the capital to see all kinds of products produced in the southwest. New firearms.

Ye Mao usually rides horses wherever he goes, and rarely rides in a carriage, but because of his injuries, he had to sit in the carriage this time, because Li Xin’s carriage was the largest and could accommodate Ye Mao half-lying. They let Ye Mao ride with him, and the uncle and nephew were chatting all the way.

The injury behind Ye Mao still hasn’t healed, so he can only sit or lie on his side. At this time, he sat beside Li Xin’s carriage and looked at Li Xin with a smile: “Master, how are you feeling these past few months? “

  Li Xin was reading a miscellaneous book when he heard this and frowned slightly: “How do you feel?”

“that is…”

  Ye Mao was at a loss for words. After scratching his head, he finally choked out a word: “It’s that kind of… the feeling of being in power.”

   Li Xin put down the book in his hand and shook his head slightly: “I have never been in power.”

   “Not only me, but also the powerful ministers of the dynasties and even the emperor, there are very few people who can really hold the power alone. Generally, they are in charge of a program, and then delegate power, and then carefully maintain the balance of power.”

   “If a person wants to manage everything, he will become a single husband. At that time, not only will he have no friends, but even his subordinates will slowly walk away.”

   Ye Mao nodded thoughtfully, then looked at Li Xin again, and asked, “Then Shishu… What are your plans in the future?”

The Ye Guogong said with a smile: “My grandfather always let me study, I didn’t listen to him very much, and I didn’t read much, but I also knew that people who entered the capital in the past dynasties generally changed dynasties, but Shishu, you Entering the capital, I’m afraid it will be… half a year old?”

   Li Xin glanced at Ye Mao with a half-smile but not a smile: “If I want to be the emperor now, will Duke Ye agree?”

   “Of course I agree.”

   Ye Mao grinned and said, “Since I handed over the seal of Chen Guogong’s residence to Uncle Master, no matter what Uncle Master wants to do, the Ye family has firmly supported Uncle Master.”

Li Xin shook his head slightly: “The Ye family supports it, but does the Chong family support it? Does the West Front Army in the west support it? If I become emperor at this time, will they be convinced?”

   After asking a series of questions, before Ye Mao could answer, Li Xin shook his head and said, “The imperial clan of the Ji family will never support it.”

“No matter who sits in the emperor’s seat, as long as the emperor’s surname is still Ji, they will still be the clan, and these people will still be able to live in a big house and ride horses, but if the imperial court changes their surname, their identities will be lost. .”

   “This identity is their lifeblood. Without them, they would jump up and fight me desperately.”

Having said this, Li Xin laughed: “Of course, these great Jin clans basically have no military power in their hands. Even if they all oppose the imperial court, they will only kill a few more people, but now the imperial court needs stability and the military system in the capital. If we want to reform, the Xianbei in the north must be leveled. Although the people in the court keep saying they want to be loyal to me, but in fact I force them with a knife stand around their necks. If the world is in chaos, no one knows what they will do. What’s it like.”

   Governor Li squinted his eyes and smiled: “So far, do you still think I can ascend to the throne?”

   Although Ye Mao has a straight mind, he is not stupid, he smiled: “Of course it is.”

“As long as you can kill, uncle, and you have the military power in your hands, you won’t have any problem when you ascend to the throne. As for those big-headed scholars up and down the imperial court, there is nothing to be afraid of. The great uncle just abandons it, and those who are willing to be officials in the world are not to be afraid of. It’s like the number of crucian carp crossing the river is endless, when the court issues a document, these people immediately squeeze their heads and kowtow to the uncle.”

   Li Xin was expressionless.

   “My wife’s surname is Ji, I can’t kill all the Ji family.”

This is one of the difficulties that Li Xin is facing now. Everyone in the Southwest Group is forcing him to ascend to the throne. As Ye Mao said, as long as he nods his head, it will be neither the imperial court nor the local clan. What’s the problem, Mu Ying and others are too willing to help Li Xin lift the butcher’s knife, as long as three or four months, nearly 100,000 clans will be slaughtered by 60-70%, and the rest will change their names and surnames, no longer admit it. own surname.

   But the problem is that Li Xin is also the son-in-law of the Ji family.

  The nine princesses have followed him for more than ten years, and they have never left him. They have given birth to three children to him, and now she is pregnant with the fourth one. Li Xin can’t give an order to destroy the whole family of his wife?

   Besides, this is not as simple as the whole family, it is already the extinction of the dead.

After hearing Li Xin’s words, Ye Mao, who has always been a big nerve, also fell silent, he shook his head and smiled bitterly: “This is indeed a problem, but we can’t just maintain the status quo. It will bring disaster to future generations, and it will also bring disaster to many, many people.”

   Many, many people in Ye Mao’s mouth refer to the Southwest Group behind Li Xin.

  Li Xin’s face was calm.

   “So for the past few months, I have been thinking about this matter, thinking about it, and finally came up with a compromise.”

   At this time, the carriage slowly moved forward. There were three people in the carriage, the tall man Ye Guogong, the governor Li Da in black, and Li Ping, the prince of the Marquis of Jing’an, who was already asleep in the carriage because of the exhaustion from the journey.

   Ye Mao understood quickly, turned his head and glanced at the child sleeping beside him, his face changed slightly.

   He lowered his voice and frowned: “Of course it’s a way, but he’s too young, I’m afraid he won’t be able to sit still.”

   Li Xin’s face was calm: “With me in the capital, the current emperor of Yankang can sit firmly, let alone my son.”

   Ye Mao blinked and said with a smile: “Forget it, this is the family matter of Uncle Master’s own family. It is not convenient for me to ask, but there is a question that Uncle Master has to consider.”

   Ye Guogong once again looked back at Li Ping who was asleep, and said softly, “That’s my brother, what will his surname be in the future?”

   This is the most crucial question.

Governor Li shook his head with a wry smile and said, “This matter is something I’ve been considering for the past few months, but it’s too early to talk about it now, waiting for the people I support myself to occupy more than half of the court, waiting for you in the north. After Zhengping annihilated the Xianbei Ministry, this is what I need to consider.”

   “I still have time to think about it slowly.”

   Ye Mao chuckled: “I’m afraid my uncle will be helpless. Those generals of the Southwest Army will not let you do whatever you want.”

  Li Xin lifted the curtain of the carriage, looked up at the scenery outside the window, and his tone was calm.

   “Up to now, this idea is only a prototype. When I really settle down, no matter who it is, there is no way to change it.”
