Unparalleled Concubine

   Chapter 249 Li Jinchen

   "Li Shen, it's good that your father gave you this name."

  The Emperor Chengde coughed and put his hands on the stove.

   "From childhood to adulthood, you have closely respected this word of caution. With your temperament, if you think that returning to the capital will kill you, you will never come back."

  The emperor sighed: "You are smart, you are sure that I will not kill you."

   Li Shen bowed his head and said, "Thunder, rain and dew, could it be God's grace, the life and death of the minister, the life and death of the Li family, are all within His Majesty's thoughts. At this moment, His Majesty only needs to say a word, and the minister will immediately die in front of His Majesty, with full loyalty."

   "Good one with full loyalty!"

  The emperor finally got angry.

   "The loyalty of your Li family is to send someone to assassinate me!"

   "This time, if your other son, Li Xin, hadn't sacrificed himself to save me, I would be lying in Zhaoling now!"

According to the rules of the Great Jin Dynasty, the emperor started to build the mausoleum as soon as he ascended the throne, and put down the last handful of soil on the day when the emperor was buried. It has been under construction for nineteen years now.

   Li Shen lowered his head, was silent for a while, and finally whispered: "Your Majesty, Li Xin is not the son of a minister."

   "You are worried that I will anger him and break another bloodline of your Li family?"

  Li Shen shook his head and did not answer.

The Son of Heaven sneered: "I won't kill him now, nor will I kill you, since you have returned to Beijing, I will also appoint you an official, and you will be an honest official in the capital in the future, and don't go anywhere. "

The emperor of Chengde put his hands in his wide sleeves and said coldly: "I tell you, since you have entered the capital, you can't get out. I have to go to the capital!"

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

   "It's not that I don't want to kill you, it's that I don't want to kill you now!"

   The emperor looked coldly: "You just wait in the capital, the knife that kills you will hang on your head, one year or two, three or five years, there will always be a day when it will fall!"

If the two of them didn't play from childhood to adulthood, they would probably do some superficial work at this time, and wouldn't say all the things that shouldn't be said, but they both knew each other very well, and in the heart of the Emperor Chengde Unable to calm down in anger, he explained the words directly.

   Li Shen still knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "My minister, thank you Your Majesty for not killing him for the time being."

  Emperor Chengde was not in good health after all, and he was a little tired after talking about such a conversation. He sat back on the dragon couch, reported a hand warmer in his hand, and then gave Li Shen a sullen 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 love, but I didn't do it. In recent years, the fighting in the court has become more and more serious. I want to gather Shu County in the Chengde Dynasty, but even so, I have never touched you. overkill."

Marquis Pingnan knelt on the ground, bowed his head and said: "Your Majesty, the matter has come to this point, how the minister said it, the majesty will not believe it, but the majesty should be able to understand that in this situation, the minister does not need to return to the capital, In Shu County, you can stay safe and sound and move from time to time, but the minister has returned."

  Li Shen's voice was low: "The minister returned to the capital, not for anything else, just slaughtered."

  The emperor sneered: "You have the face to say this. If you really want to die, why do you want to let Li Yan 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 by my late father did not commit a crime, and they should not die. Ruochen and Li Yan are both in the capital. The generals and officers of the Pingnan Army will all die in five or six years at most."

   Having said that, both of them cast aside those pretense and spoke very frankly.

  The emperor took a deep breath and looked at the general Zhuguo who was kneeling on the ground: "Li Shen, do you still remember the words your father gave you?"

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

   Li Shen, courtesy name Jinchen.

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

  The Great General of Zhuguo wept and said, "This minister will be a minister of Dajin in this lifetime."

   "It's just that the minister is not only Li Shen, but behind the minister is the family business left by his late father. They are all living people. They should not die, nor do they 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 general of the Pingnan Army will die."

  Li Shen lowered his eyebrows and said, "They know this well, so they won't surrender, and they won't be willing to surrender."

   The emperor "hoho" sneered: "That's why you are plotting to stab me!"

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

   He bowed deeply.

   "As of today, most of the actions of the minister are involuntary. Your Majesty is also the head of a family, and you should have a deep understanding of it."

  Each interest group will have its own subject will. This will will not be changed by the leader, but will change the leader.

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

   The emperor of Chengde was the leader of the Dajin court.

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

   The two of them, twenty years ago, were indeed brothers-like friends.

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

  Perhaps nineteen years ago, when the emperor of Chengde became the emperor, or fourteen years ago when Li Shen came out of Beijing to succeed Pingnan Marquis, to this day, it is not clear what is right and what is wrong.

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

   "You came back to the capital just to tell me this?"

  Li Shen bowed his head and said, "Just to ask for peace of mind. If Your Majesty kills the minister, the minister will not be sorry for the Pingnan Army in Shu County."

"roll!"

  The always gentle emperor of Chengde, now with furious hair and beard, he took the hand warmer in his hands with both hands and smashed it **** Li Shen's head.

  Li Shen did not dodge or evade.

With a    bang, the Great General of the Zhu Kingdom was bleeding.

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

   "According to His Majesty's order, this minister... retire."

   He slowly exited Changle Palace despite the blood on his head.

   The next day, the great general of Zhuguo was named the Minister of War, which squeezed out the position of the fourth prince Ji Huan.
