Unparalleled Concubine

Li Chun sat alone by the window, looking coldly at the passers-by downstairs.

Originally, he couldn't think of how to deal with Li Xin for a while, but in the afternoon, a letter was sent back from southern Xinjiang, which gave Li Chun an idea in his mind.

A bold idea.

If this idea is realized, that bastard will die, and no one can keep him!

Chapter 51

This day is the [-]th day of the twelfth lunar month, and the next day is the first day of the new year.

According to the rules of the imperial court, the first day of the new year is the beginning of a new year, and everything is renewed, so the emperor must have fun with the people, so on the evening of the first day of the new year, the emperor will wave to the people on the tower of the imperial city. , and even walk down the city tower and walk among the common people.

This is the day that the emperor is closest to the people in a year.

For the same reason, this is also the best opportunity to assassinate the emperor in a year.

Before Banjiazi, the Great Jin Dynasty was just a small country. More than 30 years ago, under the leadership of Emperor Wu, he conquered the east and west, and finally unified the world and wiped out the other four countries.

To destroy a country is to kill people, and to kill people will lead to resentment. Therefore, the Ji family has enemies all over the world. I don’t know how many people want to take the "leader" of the emperor of the Ji family to vent their anger. During the reign of the first emperor, there were more than ten assassinations per year on average. , so that the Ji family's handling of this kind of matter is very strong. As long as the assassins are caught, they will be cut in half, and they will even sit down. Therefore, after the Chengde Dynasty, the number of assassinations has decreased a lot. In recent years, the remaining forces of various countries have subsided a lot , No one went to Beijing to die.

However, after all, there are people who are not afraid of death.

Li Shen, Marquis of Pingnan who was guarding Nanjiang, got the news that someone from Nanjiang was going to Beijing to assassinate the emperor on the first day of the lunar new year!

Before Banjiazi, Nanjiang was not called Nanjiang. At that time, it was called Nanshu Kingdom. Before Banjiazi, Li Shen's father, Li Zhijie, led troops into Shu, broke Jinguan City in one fell swoop, and killed almost all the men in the Nanshu royal family. Most of the women were killed, and most of the women were brought back to the capital. Coincidentally, the royal family of Nanshu also had the surname Li. Because Nanshu is located in the southwest, this incident is called "East Li breaks West Li".

Knowing that Nanshu wanted to assassinate the emperor, Marquis Pingnan, who was in southern Xinjiang, immediately wrote a letter and sent it back to Marquis Pingnan's mansion, asking his son to notify the Habayashi Army in advance to be alert.

Originally, this kind of thing had to be sent to the emperor in a hurry, but Li Shen had a little selfishness. He wanted to give the credit to his son. It will be easier to mix in.

Therefore, Li Shen's letter came into Li Chun's hands.

Originally, this was a very cheap thing, because as long as Li Chun went to the palace to report the news in person at this juncture, after all the assassins were arrested tomorrow, he would get a share of the credit for nothing. Will be exempted by Emperor Chengde.

But Li Chun had a bad idea.

The method is very simple, as long as he reports the letter later, he will report the letter when those Nanshu assassins do something. At that time, he will "hurry up" with the family of the Pingnanhou Mansion to escort him, and the Pingnanhou Mansion More people have every reason to participate in this roundup!

You must know that most of the family generals in the Pingnanhou Mansion are veterans from the battlefield. They are familiar with driving away their targets. As long as they can drive these assassins to Li Xin's courtyard, or even near Li Xin's courtyard, At that time, Li Chun will personally participate in the round-up, arrest Li Xin and those Nanshu assassins, and then file a complaint in front of the Emperor Chengde, saying that Li Xin is the accomplice of the Nanshu assassins, then this Li Xin will be dead!

Coincidentally, Li Xin's hometown, Yongzhou, is in the south.

At that time, no matter whether it is the Seventh Prince or Li Xin, the illegitimate son of the Pingnanhou Mansion, he will not be able to keep him. No one can bear the emperor's anger against the wind. Even if there is, Li Xin, a small person, is not worth it.

Logically speaking, there is nothing wrong with this plan. As long as Li Chun can successfully drive those assassins to the vicinity of Li Xin's yard, and then arrest Li Xin and those assassins together, this matter will be seamless. With a hundred mouths, it is impossible to distinguish this matter clearly.

Moreover, there is no risk in this matter. After Li Chun got the news, he hurriedly took his family to "escort him". In theory, there is no problem, and he might be praised. They will encounter danger without knowing it, but the Habayashi guards in the capital are the elite among the elite, so there shouldn't be any problems.

………………

In the evening of the next day, the emperor of Chengde appeared on the tower of the imperial city, having fun with the people. The four princes stood behind the emperor of Chengde, bending slightly.

The eldest prince stood closer to the third prince, the fourth prince and the seventh prince stood behind, and the fourth prince, who was relatively shorter, was wearing a black and red robe with his hands in his sleeves, smiling at the seventh prince. He whispered: "I haven't seen Lao Qi for some days, what is Lao Qi busy with recently?"

The seventh prince, Ji Wen, was half a head taller than the fourth prince, Ji Huan. He lowered his head slightly, and said with a polite smile: "Back to the fourth brother, the new year is approaching, and many places in the capital are going to be repaired. I am busy with these things, the Ministry of Industry is busy and complicated, so I can't get away, so I don't show up much outside."

The fourth prince said with a smile: "The work of the Ministry of Industry is the most difficult and also the most annoying. It is rare that you are so caring, Seventh. With you in charge of the Ministry of Industry, it will be a lot easier for the father."

Wei Wang Jiwen lowered her head, her voice was flat: "This is all part of being a son."

The conversation between the two of them seemed to be polite, but in fact, they talked for a long time without any substance. The brotherhood was extremely pale in front of the imperial power.

In fact, the four princes had a good relationship before the princes came to the feudal domain, but after the four princes were appointed to stay in the capital, the four brothers became more and more famous.

Having said that, the fourth prince didn't bother to talk, but just stood in front of his father and queen in an orderly manner, and stopped whispering.

On the other side, standing beside the imperial city wall, the Emperor Chengde was dressed in purple casual clothes. The old man blushed and waved to the people under the city tower.

After a while, the emperor of Chengde seemed not satisfied, and said to the eunuch Chen Ju who was standing beside him: "Today is the first day of the lunar new year, which is a great day for the renewal of Vientiane. I want to go down to the tower to have fun with the people."

The reason why he said this to Chen Ju was not to ask the eunuch for instructions, but to tell Chen Ju to make proper arrangements to protect his safety.

Chen Ju nodded, bowed and said, "Master later, this old slave will go down and make arrangements."

Emperor Chengde nodded, turned his head and said indifferently to his four sons: "Wait a minute, you also go down with me and change into casual clothes."

The four princes bowed their heads respectfully.

"My son obeys."

About half an hour later, Chen Ju, the great eunuch who had changed into a new suit, bowed and stood in front of the Emperor Chengde, and said in a respectful voice, "Your Majesty, the people of the Habayashi Guard are ready, please go downstairs."

Emperor Chengde nodded, and walked down the tower with his hands behind his back.

The four princes in casual clothes followed their father step by step and walked down the tower.

At this time, several Shu people hidden in the crowd were waiting for an opportunity to move.

The young master Li Chun, who was dressed in a sharp uniform, led dozens of family generals to guard the gate of Pingnanhou's mansion, and he was also waiting for chaos in Yonglefang.

Chengde's 18th New Year's Day is not destined to be peaceful.

Chapter 52

Under the tower of the imperial city, there is an open space. At this time, many people in the capital gathered in this square, wanting to see Long Yan, the emperor of Chengde changed into plain clothes, walked among the crowd, and looked at these people with a smile The bustling common people were quite proud.

These are his people.

More than 30 years ago, the Great Jin ruled the world in the hands of Emperor Wu, the father of the Chengde Emperor, but the lives of ordinary people were not good. , but his vitality was also seriously injured, and it was only in the hands of Emperor Chengde that he began to slowly recover his vitality.

Today, 18 years later, Da Jin has entered a prosperous age. Although it is inevitable that some people will still be hungry, at least in the capital, it looks like singing and dancing.

The common people in the past, or a few families gathered together, or some like-minded couples sneaked aside, but this time they are not as open as the later generations. In front of many people, these young men and women are holding hands at most , I dare not do anything else.

There are also some hawkers who sell fireworks and eat food, walking through the sea of ​​people.

There were people in silk and satin everywhere. From time to time, there were a few four or five-year-old boys chasing each other, and then fell to the ground, crying incessantly.

This is the prosperity of this era, the prosperity of Chengde.

Emperor Chengde was very satisfied with the scene before him.

His Majesty the emperor may know that the people in Jingzhao Mansion are driving away the poor and prohibiting the poor from entering Yongle Square, or maybe he doesn't know, but on such a happy day, those details are not important, as long as he is happy is enough.

Among the crowds, a dozen or so Shu people in civilian clothes were mixed in the crowd, and they were all looking in the direction of the Chengde Emperor intentionally or unintentionally.

Among the dozen or so people, there was a special person following him. From the time the Emperor Chengde walked down the tower, he had been staring at the emperor of the Great Jin Dynasty. They waited silently, waiting for the emperor Chengde to approach by himself.
