Unparalleled Concubine

This Marquis of Pingnan first entered the Hou's mansion and ordered his servants to tidy up the Hou's mansion, then went to comfort Madam Yu a few words, and finally walked into his study.

Under the floor tiles in a remote corner of his study room is the entrance to the tunnel of the Pingnanhou Mansion.

In this era, because of frequent military disasters, big families would prepare tunnels, cellars and the like to escape at critical times.

The tunnels in the Pingnanhou Mansion began to be dug when Li Shen was 15 years old.

At that time, he was still a young man, a young man who had a good relationship with the Emperor Chengde, but he was also a proton at the same time.

His father was far away in southern Xinjiang. Li Shen had no one to rely on when he was young, but he could only rely on himself. At that time, he thought about digging a tunnel under the Marquis Mansion. vitality.

At the age of 15, Li Shen had the best relationship with the Chengde Emperor. At that time, Li Shen was already secretly preparing a counterattack.

Li Shen bent down, and after lifting two or three floor tiles, a staircase was revealed. He slowly climbed down the stairs. About ten feet below the tunnel, there was a basement-like residence with all kinds of living facilities inside. A fat man with a sad face, Stay here for the time being.

It is the eldest son of the Chengde Emperor, the former His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

Li Shen stepped in, bowed to the former His Royal Highness and cupped his hands: "I have seen His Royal Highness."

With a bitter face, the eldest prince returned the salute to Li Xin: "Uncle Li, my nephew just heard someone making a noise above..."

Although he is mediocre, he grew up in the royal family after all, and he still has the ability to judge the situation. He knows very well that the Pingnanhou Mansion is his only lifeline now, so he directly calls him uncle.

Originally, Li Shen had a very good personal relationship with Emperor Chengde. When this eldest prince was born, Emperor Chengde was still the crown prince, and Li Shen even went to hug this eldest nephew at that time, so there is actually no problem with Ji Ku calling him that.

Li Shen sighed, nodded and said, "It was His Royal Highness Wei Wang who sent people over to search. My Li family didn't have enough face to stop them. I was searched by them once, and even broke a lot of things in the house."

His Highness trembled, almost crying.

"Old Qi has already won, why still refuses to let me go..."

Li Shen shook his head slightly: "It's because of his status, Your Highness should be clear about it, as long as His Highness is alive, King Wei will not be able to sleep every day, and he must get rid of His Highness soon."

The First Prince cupped his hands repeatedly at Li Shen.

"Uncle save me..."

Li Shen smiled slightly: "For the current plan, His Royal Highness has to go out of Beijing temporarily and go to Shu County to avoid the limelight. The Li family in Shu County still has some influence, and the court people can't find it there."

The eldest prince hesitated: "Of course there is no problem going to Shu County, but my nephew still has some family members in the capital..."

This eldest prince has been greedy for flowers and lust all these years, and has been conscientious in the cause of human creation. There are three or forty concubines in the Qin Palace. He also has a dozen sons and four or five daughters. It can be said that his heirs are prosperous.

"I don't care about them anymore."

Li Shen looked serious: "As long as His Royal Highness is still alive, King Wei will not make things difficult for His Highness's family. When His Highness returns to the capital in the future, the people in the Qin Palace will naturally be free."

The eldest prince reluctantly nodded, smiled wryly at Li Shen and said, "If that's the case, I'll trouble my uncle to arrange it."

Li Shen said in a deep voice: "Your Highness agrees. The tunnel in the Pingnanhou Mansion leads to the Liushufang next door. The Liushufang is the one with the most people in the capital. It is relatively easy to hide. I will arrange people to wait in the Liushufang. Let's take His Highness out of Beijing."

The First Prince nodded repeatedly, and thanked Li Shen.

After thanking him a few times, he suddenly came to his senses, looked up at Li Shen, and asked hesitantly, "Uncle, my nephew has a question for my uncle."

"Excuse me, Your Highness."

The eldest prince gritted his teeth, and said: "The old seventh has already won, he has ascended the throne, why is uncle willing to risk offending the new emperor to save his nephew?"

Li Shen chuckled: "Of course it's for the ancestral temple."

This Pingnan Hou Dayi is awe-inspiring.

"Wei King will steal the throne for a short time. Your Highness is the orthodox of the Jin Dynasty. I really can't bear to see the late emperor's eldest son die. One day in the future, I will assist Your Highness to visit the imperial palace!"

The First Prince blinked his eyes, somewhat skeptical.

Chapter 330 Give you the throne!

It's normal that nothing can be found. If the deposed prince is found directly like this, then Li Xin will wonder if Li Shen is up to some conspiracy.

After Li Xin left Pingnanhou's mansion, he found Dong Cheng, the eunuch who came from the palace.

The Tianmu Supervisor has been watching Pingnanhou's Mansion for the past few days, because the matter is of great importance, after Li Xin came, the eunuch Dong also followed.

"I've seen Lord Li Hou."

Eunuch Dong bowed his hands to Li Xin.

Li Xin smiled and returned the courtesy: "Eunuch Dong is being too polite, why did you make this trip yourself?"

The dark-faced Dong Cheng said in a low voice: "Firstly, it is the key to the affairs of Pingnan Houfu. I heard that Li Houye is here, so I followed to see it. Second, I have a few words to be alone with Li Houye. explain."

Li Xin blinked his eyes, and said with a half-smile, "Because of the internal servant?"

Dong Cheng was already one of the Eight Inspectors of the inner court, and his status was already very high, and he fell to the current new emperor early. Logically speaking, after the new emperor ascended the throne, not to mention letting him be in charge of the inner court immediately, he should also be put in charge. It would be right to inherit Chen Ju's position in the future after being transferred to the internal servant prison as a young supervisor. But now, the new emperor not only did not promote him, but also transferred a young eunuch to the internal servant prison, which naturally made Dong Cheng very angry.

It was also for this reason that Li Xin was surprised when he saw Xiao Zheng.

Eunuch Dong lowered his head and said: "Master Li has the eyes...Master Li, when His Majesty started an incident that day, the slaves and servants set fire to the palace with a huge relationship. Now you three are all enshrined as marquises and generals, and you are on the rise. Your Majesty must not forget about your slaves..."

"Please Li Houye to mention the servant girl in front of His Majesty, the servant girl will be very grateful..."

Li Xin chuckled: "Eunuch Dong, don't be impatient. Your Majesty is not a person who does not forget old feelings. We will follow the chickens and dogs to heaven, and Eunuch Dong will not be able to escape."

Dong Cheng gritted his teeth, bowed his head and said, "Please Li Houye, please say a word on behalf of the servant, that even if the servant only serves as a young prisoner in the inner guard, I will be willing..."

That Xiao Zheng is also a young prisoner now, as long as he can enter the internal guard, with Dong Cheng's wrist, he will not be inferior to a young man.

Li Xin hesitated for a moment, and finally shook his head and said: "Eunuch Dong, I am a foreign minister, and you are an internal official. You can say this by yourself, and His Majesty may approve it. If I say it, you will definitely not be able to enter the internal servant prison." .”

Internal and external collusion is the biggest taboo. It is impossible for the emperor to put an eunuch who has a good relationship with foreign officials by his side.

Dong Cheng's complexion changed, and then he took a deep breath, nodded and said: "What Li Houye said is that if the servant finds an opportunity in a few days, he will say something brazenly..."

Li Xin smiled, pointed at Pingnanhou's Mansion and said, "This Pingnanhou's Mansion is extremely important to His Majesty. Eunuch Dong can use the pretext of reporting the news to see His Majesty if he guards Pingnanhou's Mansion."

"What Master Li said is..."

Li Xin was silent for a while, and then continued: "What's more, Eunuch Dong will allocate some manpower to guard Qin Palace."

The family members of the deposed prince had all moved into the East Palace, but after the new emperor ascended the throne, they were expelled from the East Palace, and they were still allowed to live in the Prince Qin's Mansion in Yonglefang.

If the abolished prince is still in the capital, he will most likely be in contact with the family members of Prince Qin's Mansion. As long as the Tianmu Supervisor guards Prince Qin's Mansion, he may be able to find out that Grand Highness.

Dong Cheng bowed his head respectfully.

"Your Majesty ordered, this servant will do it now."
