Unparalleled Concubine

   Chapter 245 He is better than me

   At this time, Li Shen should not have come back.

   As long as he sits in the southern border, he can advance and retreat freely, and watch the changes in the capital. Even if the people in the capital Ping Nanhou Mansion die, it will not affect Li Shen in the southern border. He can arrange it calmly.

   is a bit more ruthless. Since Li Chun, the prince of the Pingnan Hou Mansion, died, the rest of the people in the capital are actually not worthy of nostalgia.

   Not to mention whether Li Shen has another son in the southern border, and even if he does not, this general of the Zhu Kingdom is only forty-three years old this year, and he can be born again.

   But he just came back.

   This approach made everyone unable to guess what Li Shen was thinking.

Early the next morning, just as Li Xin got up to wash up, the servants of the princess' mansion rushed over in a panic and said to Li Xin, "Young Master Li, the father-in-law of the palace is here, and the princess asked you to go to the main hall. Take the will."

  Li Xin frowned.

   Yesterday, the emperor asked His Royal Highness King Wei to pass a message and asked him to go out of the city to meet Li Shen. It is reasonable to say that this can be regarded as an oral order. Why did the palace send another decree today? Could it be that something happened on the emperor's side?

  Li Xin put down the willow branch that was cleaning his teeth in his hand, nodded and said, "Understood, I'll change my clothes and go to the main hall of the front hall."

   This servant nodded, bowed and stepped out.

   The weather was already cold at this time, Li Xin changed into a blue cotton robe, fastened his belt, and walked out of his yard.

At this time, more than half a year had passed since he came to Dajin. His age was the time to grow his body. During this time, he followed Wang Zhong's teaching and often bought some beef to nourish his body. Until now, Li Xin's The height is much higher than last year, and it is already a bit slender.

   At this time, Li Xin didn't have the cowardly feeling of last year at all. At first glance, he looked like a handsome young man.

   After walking to the main hall, Li Xincai discovered that the person who came was the Grand Duke Chen Ju.

  Chen Ju usually does not go out of the palace to announce the decree.

   He is the **** of the inner guard. Although the inner guard is the head of the eight prisons, the work of drafting and reading the imperial decree is often done by one of the eight prisons with a pen, and Chen Ju does not need to go out to the palace to run errands.

   It can be said that, all the imperial edicts read out by the grand duke out of the palace, without exception, are the Holy Son of Heaven, and there is no room for mistakes.

   Li Xin hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "I don't know if the Grand Duke arrived, and he was slightly scorned and neglected."

  Chen Ju glanced at Li Xin, then sighed slowly: "General Li, Your Majesty has a life, let you go to Zhengyang Station in the south of the city now, and welcome Li Shen, the Marquis of Ping Nan, into the capital."

  Li Xin frowned.

  Zhengyang Station is a large station on the official road in the south of the capital, about 200 miles away from the capital.

  If I remember correctly, in the news sent by the Seventh Prince yesterday, it was said that Li Shen had arrived at Zhengyang Station. Why is he still in Zhengyang Station after a day has passed?

   Li Xin lowered his head and asked, "Grand Duke, there is no problem in going out of the city to meet him, but how can there be a reason to go out of the city to greet him two hundred miles away?"

  Chen Ju shook his head slightly, took out an apricot-colored letter from his sleeve, and handed it to Li Xin: "This is His Majesty's handwritten letter. You go to Zhengyang Station and hand it to Li Shen, otherwise he won't want to go to Beijing."

   Sure enough, it was impossible for Li Shen to enter the capital just like that.

Looking at the current situation, he should have stopped at Zhengyangyi, and then sent someone to send a letter to the palace, discussing what conditions with the emperor of Chengde, and the letter that Chen Ju handed to Li Xin was the letter from the emperor of Chengde to Li Shen 's answer.

   Listening to Chen Ju's meaning, the emperor agreed to Li Shen's conditions.

  Li Xin was silent for a while, and finally took the handwritten letter from the emperor with both hands, bowed his head and said, "I understand."

  Chen Ju looked up at the sky and said solemnly: "It's getting late, you should set off now, and you should be able to arrive at Zhengyang Station in the evening. Before the gate closes tomorrow, you must bring Li Shen into the capital!"

   Li Xin gave a wry smile.

   "The Grand Duke thinks too highly of the humble post. If he doesn't want to go to the city, how can the humble post get him?"

  Chen Ju took a deep breath.

   "Forget it, you can take him to the capital as soon as possible."

  Li Xin coughed, nodded and said, "Okay, I will leave now."

   After saying that, he greeted Jiu Gongzhu and Zhong Xiaoxiao, and after he took out his dark cloud horse from the stable of the princess mansion, he brought some generals to drink water, and got on his horse on Desheng Street.

   Datongfang is in the south of the city, very close to the south gate. Li Xin held the Yulinwei waist card and drank the gate of the south gate. He flew along the official road towards Zhengyangyi.

  The black cloud horse recognized the master. During this time, Li Xin was injured, and no one could ride it. He raised a lot of fat and came out. At this time, he suddenly left the city, and he spread his hooves and ran wildly on the official road, running heartily.

   In the evening, Li Xin arrived at Zhengyang Station.

   As soon as he got off the horse, he saw the endless tents near Zhengyang Station, which formed a tent.

   hiss…

  Looking at the number of tents, Li Shen brought at least 500 or even thousands of people to Zhengyangyi. Judging from this situation, it is estimated that as long as the talks with the emperor of Chengde broke down, he would immediately turn around and go back to the southern border.

   With these generals, unless the Imperial Army surrounds them, it is impossible for the people in those places to stop these soldiers.

   Most of these people have horses. As long as there are enough scouts nearby and they are far enough away, there is basically no chance for the Imperial Army of all infantry to surround them.

  Li Xin took a deep breath, turned over and dismounted, walked to the entrance of the tent, bent over and clasped his fists and said, "Li Xin, the commander of Yulin Weiyou, has been ordered by His Majesty to ask to see Lord Li."

   The soldier who guarded the gate nodded, turned around and went in to report. After a while, someone came out and led Li Xin to the depths of the camp.

Although Li Shen is not a good person, he is still very good at doing things. This tent is arranged by him according to the military formation, and they can support each other calmly, and the inn called Zhengyang Station is surrounded by these tents. account.

   Under the leadership of this soldier, Li Xin walked to the gate of Zhengyang Station smoothly.

   It is said to be a post station, but it is actually a small courtyard composed of a dozen bungalows. This soldier has no expression on his face.

   "The general is inside, you go in."

  Li Xin nodded and walked in.

  Li Shen was sitting in the yard of Zhengyang Station. At this time, he was not wearing armor, but was dressed in black. He should be mourning his deceased son.

  Compared to Yuancheng Yuezhi when we met last time, Li Shen at this time is relatively haggard. Sitting in the courtyard, he was not surprised by Li Xin's arrival, he just glanced at Li Xin lightly.

   "Your Majesty's reply, did you bring it?"

  Li Xin took out the apricot-colored letter from his sleeve and handed it to Li Shen. Li Shen irritably tore open the envelope and pulled out the paper inside. After reading it, he nodded expressionlessly.

   "I would have known, you just go back."

   Li Xin was furious.

  I didn't kill your son, what are you pretending to be in front of me?

  He resisted the anger in his heart, lowered his head and said, "Master Li, what Your Majesty means, let you go back to Beijing with me!"

  Li Shen raised his head and glanced at Li Xin, his face expressionless.

   "I told Your Majesty that I would send Li Yan out of the capital before I would enter the capital. Your Majesty also agreed in the letter. Now that Li Yan has not left the capital, why is this General going to Beijing?"

   Li Xin frowned and said, "What's the point of this?"

   "There must be a person surnamed Li who presides over the Pingnan Army in Shu County."

General    Zhuguo's face remained expressionless.

   "In terms of fighting, Li Yan is better than me."
