Chapter 11 The North Wind and the South Wind
Li Xin came from southwest to Ningling to see off his father. Since he lived in Yejiazhuang, the Ye family must ensure his safety.
If Ye Mao asked Xiao Zheng to take Li Xin away from Yejiazhuang, I'm afraid Old Man Ye would crawl out from the ground tonight and strangle his grandson to death.
So Ye Mao's attitude is very firm.
Xiao Zheng looked at Ye Mao helplessly: "Mr. Ye, this is not a big deal, why do you have to make such an unpleasant thing? When Qianniu Wei enters Ningling, where will the face of Duke Chen's mansion be placed?"
Ye Mao's face was expressionless.
"Ye said that Mr. Li is not in Yejiazhuang. As for whether he is in Ningling, Eunuch Xiao can take Qianniuwei Dasuo all over the city, and you can search my Yejiazhuang."
He stretched out his rough and wide palm and spoke, "Come on the imperial edict."
It is naturally impossible for Xiao Zheng to search the imperial edict of Yejiazhuang. In fact, there is no imperial edict for such a thing. The imperial edict means that it is necessary to file it at the Shangshu Desk, which also means that the court will openly attack the Ye family.
Xiao Zheng lowered his head slightly and said, "Mr. Ye, it is Your Majesty's intention that our family came from the capital to Ningling. Mr. Ye should be able to see the benefits and harms of this. If Mr. Ye doesn't give our family a convenience, he may not be able to argue with His Majesty in the future."
Ye Mao bowed to Xiao Zheng.
"Old Eunuch Xiao, Ye remembers it. When Ning Ling is in trouble, Ye will definitely go to Beijing to apologize to His Majesty."
"Of course, Eunuch Xiao can also take Qianniuwei to search Yejiazhuang at this time, and Ye is waiting here."
Xiao Zheng has a very high status in the capital. Officials with a slightly lower rank probably wouldn't dare to breathe when they see him. Only the real-powered duke like the Ye family can speak so hard in front of this eunuch.
Xiao Zheng's face was a little unfavorable.
Although he has a bad temper, the person who can take charge of the eunuch for more than ten years is naturally not a Nitan. The eunuch of the inner court groaned and said, "Since that's the case, when Qianniuwei surrounds Yejiazhuang, don't say that our family has not given the Duke's Mansion."
After saying that, he was about to leave.
Ye Mao stood there, frowned slightly.
After Li Xin stepped forward to reduce the generals and generals in the first year of Taikang, the generals and generals in the capital were all so low that they were far from threatening the number of imperial guards. When the Ye family was at its peak, there were about one or two thousand generals inside and outside the capital, but most of them were tricked. To the present, the Ye family's troops do not exceed 300, and there are not many in Ningling.
Although there are hundreds of people in Yejiazhuang, these farmers cannot let them fight with the armored and sword-wielding imperial guards. Even if they really fight, they will just give up their heads.
If Qianniuwei really entered Yejiazhuang under the face of Duke Chen's mansion, he would have to hide Li Xin for the time being.
While Ye Mao was frowning and thinking, a familiar voice came from behind him.
"It's really a place where we meet in life. I can't imagine that we can meet Eunuch Xiao here."
Xiao Zheng, who had already walked more than ten steps, stopped immediately when he heard this. He took two deep breaths first, then slowly turned around and bowed to the man in green who was walking towards him.
"I have met the Grand Tutor Xiao Zheng."
The person who came out was Li Xin. He came from the southwest to Ningling, so it was naturally impossible for him to come alone. In fact, Shen Gang and other people from the Anmen tribe followed a lot of people by him. Xiao Zheng and others arrived at the gate of Yejiazhuang. Ye Mao deliberately concealed him, but after arguing at the door for so long, Li Xin who was eating inside would naturally know.
Since the court already knew about him in Ningling, it would be meaningless to hide and hide. It would be better to just be a bachelor and come out by himself, and protect some of the Ye family so as not to let the Ye family conflict with the imperial power head-on.
Li Xin put his hands in his sleeves and said lightly: "Eunuch Xiao, you are kind to Ningling. I came to worship my brother. I don't know that Eunuch Xiao came from the capital thousands of miles away. What's the matter?"
When Xiao was facing Ye Mao, he was both a tutor who was neither humble nor arrogant, but in front of Li Xin, he was quite respectful and immediately lowered his head and said, "Return to the tutor, I will follow the order of Your Majesty to ask the tutor to return to Beijing and discuss the use of troops against the Xianbei troops."
Marquis Jing'an blinked and said in confusion: "Strange, this marquis heard that Yuwen Zhao from the Yuwen tribe in the northern border had been granted the title of King of Yan, and he also formed a Qin and Jin love with the Great Jin. In the past two years, he has never heard of the King of Yan's rebellion. Why did Your Majesty want to launch troops against the northern border?"
Xiao Zheng was stunned for a moment, and didn't know how to refute it.
Mr. Li sighed and said bitterly: "Eunuch Xiao, please tell Your Majesty that a monarch should rule the world with kindness. First, Emperor Zhao and Emperor Jing, both generations of emperors rest with the people and regulate national strength. Your Majesty must not be able to fight military force to hurt the hearts of the people."
Xiao Zheng's face was stiff. After he was silent for a long time, he lowered his head and smiled bitterly: "Tao Fu, I am just a eunuch, how can I interfere in politics? If you have any opinions from the Grand Tutor, it is better to go to the capital with me and face Your Majesty."
Marquis Jing'an half-squinted his eyes and glanced at Xiao Zheng.
"I have been infected with wind a few years ago. The doctor said that I cannot see people, and it may be contagious. Therefore, I have been hiding in my hometown Yongzhou for several years and dared not move. This time, it was not because of my senior brother's death, and I would not have run out of my hometown in Yongzhou."
"I am seriously ill, so Eunuch Xiao will not let me lead my troops to meet the emperor?"
Xiao Zheng's expression stagnated.
He looked up at Li Xin, feeling a little depressed.
This Marquis Li looks stronger than in previous years. He speaks with a very energetic look. How could he look like he is infected?
He lowered his head again and gritted his teeth and said, "Trial tutor, I came here according to the holy will. Your Majesty said that he would invite the Taifu back to the capital no matter what. If the Taifu does not cooperate, then I would have to use Qianniuwei and force the Taifu back to the capital."
Li Xin finally had a smile on his face.
He smiled and looked at Xiao Zheng.
"Isn't it better to say that earlier? Why don't you find so many excuses with just talking nonsense?"
Xiao Zheng took a deep breath and bowed deeply to Li Xin.
"I, please return to the capital."
Li Xin still had a smile on his face.
"I won't go."
He looked at Xiao Zheng and said lightly: "Please tell Your Majesty that because the north wind is too cold, Li Xin's body is damaged and cannot be regarded as the Lord. When will the swallow on the Tianjialiang fly away? Li Xin will consider returning to Beijing again."
He looked at Xiao Zheng with a calm expression.
"The Book of Pure Yang Dao says that between heaven and earth, yin and yang are mutually generated and restrained. If the north wind does not dissipate between heaven and earth, the south wind will probably not stop."
