Unparalleled Concubine

"Are you worried that Zhen will anger him and cut off another bloodline of your Li family?"

Li Shen shook his head, but did not answer.

The emperor sneered and said: "I will not kill him now, nor will I kill you. Since you have returned to the capital, I will also appoint you an official. From now on, you will be an official in the capital and don't go anywhere. "

Emperor Chengde put his hands in his wide sleeves, and said coldly: "I tell you, since you have entered the capital, it is impossible for you to get out. Get out to the capital!"

Li Shen was somewhat prepared for this result, he bowed his head and said, "Thank you Your Majesty for not killing me."

"It's not that I won't kill you, but it's not easy to kill you now!"

The emperor's majesty looked cold: "You just wait in the capital, the knife that kills you will hang over your head, one year, two years, three years, five years, it will come down one day!"

If the two of them hadn't been playing together since they were young, they would probably still be superficial at this time, and wouldn't say all these things that shouldn't be said, but they both know each other very well, and in the heart of the Chengde emperor The anger was hard to calm, so he explained the words directly.

Li Shen still knelt on the ground, kowtowed and said: "Minister, thank you for your majesty's grace of not killing him for the time being."

After all, Emperor Chengde was not in good health, and he was a little tired after talking like this. He sat back on the dragon couch, put a hand warmer in his hand, and then gave Li Shen a disconsolate look.

"Your father Li Zhijie has only one son like you. When you were in Beijing and I was the crown prince, the late emperor told me many times that he wanted me to find an opportunity to kill you."

The emperor of Chengde closed his eyes and said: "When I was young, I still remembered the old friendship and never made a move. In recent years, the battles in the court have become more and more serious. I intend to gather Shu County in the Chengde Dynasty, but even so, I have never moved to you. Too murderous."

Ping Nanhou knelt on the ground, bowed his head and said: "Your Majesty, the matter has come to this, and your majesty will not believe how you explain it, but your majesty should be able to understand that in the current situation, you don't need to come back to the capital. In Shu County, you can wait for the time to move safely, but the minister is still back."

Li Shen said in a low voice, "The minister returned to the capital, not for anything else, just to kill him."

The emperor sneered: "Thank you for having the face to say this, if you really want to die, why did you let Li Yan go out of Beijing?"

General Zhu Guo was silent for a long time, and finally bowed his head and said: "Your Majesty, Li Chun can die, and the minister can also die, but the Pingnan army left behind by my father did not commit any crimes. They should not die. Ruochen and Li Yan are both in the capital. , the top and bottom generals of the Pingnan Army will die within five or six years at most."

Having said that, both of them gave up those pretense and spoke very frankly.

The Son of Heaven took a deep breath, and looked at the general of Zhu Kingdom who was kneeling on the ground: "Li Shen, do you still remember the sign your father gave you?"

Li Shen knelt down and kowtowed: "I remember."

Li Shen, courtesy name Jinchen.

The emperor shouted: "Are you still a minister of Jin now!"

General Zhu Guo wept and said: "I will be a minister of the Jin Dynasty in my life."

"It's just that I'm not just Li Shen. Behind me is the family property left by my father. They are all living people. They don't deserve to die, and they don't want to die."

The emperor gave Li Shen a cold look: "As long as you surrender, most of the soldiers of the Pingnan Army will not die!"

"But the generals of the Pingnan Army will die."

Li Shen lowered his eyebrows and said: "They know this very well, so they will not surrender, and they will not be willing to surrender."

The emperor "hoho" sneered: "So you are plotting to assassinate me!"

Li Shen shook his head and said, "This matter is Li Yan's mischief alone, it is definitely not the intention of the Li family."

He kowtowed deeply.

"Things and today, most of the ministers' actions are involuntary. Your Majesty is also the head of the family, so you should have a deep understanding."

Every interest group will have its own will, which will not be changed by the leader, but will be changed instead.

Li Shen is the leader of the Pingnan Army interest group.

The Emperor Chengde was the leader of the Jin court.

When two interest groups conflict with each other, they will inevitably lead to conflicts with two leaders.

The two of them, 20 years ago, were indeed brotherly friends.

But I don't know when it started, and suddenly it didn't.

Perhaps it was when the Chengde emperor became the emperor 19 years ago, or when Li Shen came out of Beijing to succeed Pingnanhou 14 years ago. Today, it is not clear which is right and which is wrong.

The emperor took a few breaths, and finally stared at Li Shen firmly.

"You came back to the capital just to tell me these things?"

Li Shen bowed his head and said, "Just for peace of mind, if His Majesty kills the minister, I will not be sorry for the Pingnan Army of Shu County."

"roll!"

The emperor Chengde, who was always gentle, was furious at this moment. He took the hand warmer in his hands with both hands, and slammed it hard on Li Shen's head.

Li Shen didn't dodge or evade.

With a bang, the general of the Zhu Kingdom was bleeding.

The loud noise in the warm hall immediately alarmed Chen Ju and others who were guarding outside the hall. When these people rushed in, the Emperor Chengde collapsed on the dragon couch because of excessive force and couldn't breathe, while Li Shen was full of hair. With great difficulty, he got up from the ground and knelt down to the Chengde Emperor again.

"According to His Majesty's order, I...resign."

Regardless of the blood on his head, he slowly exited Changle Palace.

The next day, the great general of the Zhu Kingdom was named Minister of the Ministry of War, squeezing out the position of the Fourth Prince Ji Huan.

Chapter 250 Chaotic ministers and thieves!

Long before Li Shen entered Beijing, he had estimated how the emperor would treat him.

This conversation in Changle Palace was just a formality.

Li Shen knew that he would not die, so he begged to die on his knees.

In this conversation, although the two of them treated each other frankly, they also concealed some things that could not be said.

The news that Li Shen was appointed Minister of the Ministry of War quickly spread among the ruling and opposition parties.

The most uncomfortable one was naturally the Fourth Prince Ji Huan. He was originally the Minister of the Ministry of War. Although he could not have all the powers of the Minister of the Ministry of War, sitting in this position, the Ministry of War would be controlled by him.

Now, the position of a Shangshu has disappeared for no reason.

During this period of time, he was running back and forth in the circle of the capital to win over the ministers. As soon as the news spread, some ministers who were watching would give up his choice.

After all, where the Sacred Heart is, it is possible to be the new emperor.

This is the "light punishment" given by the Chengde emperor to the fourth prince.

Li Xin, who was recovering from his injuries at Princess Qinghe's Mansion, couldn't sit still after receiving the news.
