Unparalleled Concubine

Chapter 475

In the beginning, His Royal Highness, the crown prince, saw Li Shen as a life-saving straw at the moment of life and death. At that time, he panicked and grabbed the life-saving straw without thinking too much.

This life-saving straw did indeed save him from the capital.

But for more than a year, the more Ji Ku thought about it, the more afraid he became, especially not long ago, when Li Shen officially raised the flag to "take back the throne" for him, he felt that he was caught in a huge whirlpool. The boss of the Ji family was scared.

He used to think that Li Shen would save his life because of his father's face, but now he realized that the handsome middle-aged man in front of him was much more ambitious than he imagined.

He wanted to withdraw from this vortex, even if he died, it would be better than going underground without faceless ancestors.

But it is a pity that he is just a flag, and how the flag should move is not what he wants.

Hearing what Li Shen said, the fat prince smiled wryly: "Uncle, do you want to be emperor?"

Li Shen's face remained unchanged, and he bowed his head and said: "Your Highness has misunderstood. I have always been the most loyal courtier of the Jin Dynasty. You are the eldest son of the late emperor, and you are also the crown prince who was appointed by the late emperor. You have to help your highness even though you have lost your wealth and life." Take back the throne."

His Royal Highness the Prince smiled wryly.

"Uncle, what about the nephew's wife and children in the capital?"

"Those who achieve great things do not care about small details."

Li Shen was expressionless.

"If His Highness can return to the capital, if the Crown Princess and the emperor's grandchildren survive, they will naturally enter the Changle Palace with His Highness. If they die unfortunately, His Highness can also erect a monument for them."

As far as the power in the Southwest is concerned, it is impossible to shake the court head-on. At this juncture, it is even more impossible to send someone to the Qin Palace in the capital to rescue the prince's family, so Li Shen refused without hesitation.

The fat prince's face was very ugly.

He is also human, the oldest son in his family is seven or eight years old, and there are several daughters in the capital, how can he let him go easily?

"Uncle, you..."

He looked at Li Shen with an almost pleading tone: "You help a group of nephews, the nephews don't want to become Da Jin's sinners..."

"Your Highness will not be a sinner."

Li Shen said indifferently: "One day, Your Highness will return to the capital in an open and aboveboard manner, and enter the Changle Palace."

Having said that, he paused.

"If His Highness really becomes a sinner, Li Shen will be more guilty than His Highness, and the hundreds of thousands of loyal ministers and righteous men in the Pingnan Army will die before His Highness."

After Li Shen said this, he stood up.

"Your Highness, stay here with peace of mind, don't think too much, I will send some concubines to Your Highness in a few days."

"Sir farewell."

With that said, Li Shen cupped his hands, turned and left.

Leaving Ji Ku sitting alone in this tea room, he was stunned for a long time, and finally collapsed on the ground weakly, not daring to move.

At this time, it is impossible for him to get away, unless he commits suicide now.

If he had had the courage to die, he would not have followed Li Shen to Shu County.

…………

After Li Shen walked out of the tea room with his hands behind his back, Cheng Ping, the deputy general of the Pingnan Army, bent down and waited outside. When he saw Li Shen coming out, Cheng Ping, who was also somewhat short and chubby, lowered his head and said, "General, the news from the spies is here." gone."

Fast forward to February now, that is to say, the vanguard led by Ye Ming of the imperial court has set off for almost a month. Such a big movement will naturally be noticed by the southwest side. In fact, as early as a few days ago, the spies from the southwest He had already watched Ye Ming's headquarters from afar, and reported the situation to Jincheng at any time.

Li Shen nodded.

"Say."

Cheng Ping lowered his head and said, "The imperial army has already passed Hankou. According to their formation, they will be able to reach the gate of Shu County at the end of February at the most."

Li Shen took a deep breath and his face became serious.

"how many people?"

"About [-] or so. Judging by the color of the clothes, it should be the forbidden army of the imperial court. As for who the main general is, it is not very clear yet."

"Forbidden Army..."

Li Shen looked into the distance, thinking of his cheap son who worked in the Imperial Army.

For Li Xin, Li Shen's attitude is very complicated.

If Li Xin was just an ordinary person, no matter what Li Shen said, he would arrange a future for him. The complete opposite.

Frankly speaking, Li Shen, who never regrets doing things, regrets now.

If he had gone to Yongzhou to bring back the mother and son back then, and had such a son by his side, now Pingnan Hou Mansion doesn't say anything, at least it won't look like this.

At least the Pingnanhou Mansion will not tear itself apart from the imperial court yet.

Thinking of this, the great general of the Zhu Kingdom sighed leisurely.

"In that case, let's see what we can do."

He turned to Cheng Ping and said, "Think of a way to find out who the imperial court is leading the soldiers."

Cheng Ping bowed his head respectfully: "The general will investigate right now."

"Is there any movement in the capital?"

Although the forces of the Pingnanhou Mansion have completely withdrawn from the capital, there are still some spies from the Pingnanhou Mansion in the capital today. These spies can't do much, but they can inform the Southwest of some major events in the capital, so that they won't let Southwest's eyes were darkened.

Of course, the status of these spies is generally not high, and it is impossible for them to know who is in command of the court this time.

Cheng Ping hesitated for a moment, and finally bowed his head deeply.

"The news came back from the capital today. Years ago, the... Marquis of Jing'an in the capital..."

Speaking of this, he raised his head and looked at Li Shen cautiously. Seeing that Li Shen didn't respond, he gritted his teeth and continued: "The Marquis of Jing'an married Princess Qinghe, and the two got married on the 27th of the twelfth lunar month."

"Well……"

Li Shen nodded, and smiled calmly: "When the late emperor was alive, he also mentioned this matter to the general, and wanted to promise a royal princess to Chun'er. At that time, the general did not agree. wrong."

Generally speaking, the best and most peaceful way for the royal family to disintegrate a general is to marry their own daughter and turn the heir of the general into a son-in-law. After thinking about this, she wanted to marry one of her daughters to the young master Li Chun.

But Li Shen didn't nod his head on this matter, and it finally came to nothing.
