Unparalleled Concubine

   Chapter 627 A Statement

   After the emperor died and entered the mausoleum in the 18th year of Chengde, the largest **** of the Chengde Dynasty left the capital and quietly walked into the Zhaoling Mausoleum. There was no sound in the capital.

   In fact, given the situation at the time, and the edict left by the emperor of Chengde, only Chen Ju and Zhang Qu knew about the edict, so this grand duke could stay in the palace and continue to be in charge of the inner guard for at least five or six years.

This is the power that can be called "internal minister". It is the power that countless scholars dream of. It is also a position that Xiao Zheng, the young supervisor of the inner guard, can't catch up with the horse, but this old man who has been with the emperor of Chengde for decades, resolutely resolutely He left the capital for nearly three years and never came back once.

   Li Shen was at the entrance of the Xiang Palace at this time. Hearing that, he glanced at Chen Ju, bent over and put the wine and sacrifices under his feet. After sighing, he returned to Chen Ju and said, "Good morning, Grand Duke."

  The Grand Duke Chen Ju at this time took off the red clothes that he used to wear in the palace, and did not wear the purple clothes that symbolized the eunuchs and eunuchs. He just wore ordinary coarse cloth clothes with a calm expression.

   "The old slave is here, waiting for the late emperor to wait for Lord Li for almost three years."

  Li Shen was silent for a while, and then he said, "The Grand Duke is waiting for me to do something."

  Chen Ju looked at Li Shen quietly and said, "The late emperor told the old slave before he died that you owe him an explanation."

   Li Shen froze in place, not moving for a long time.

He is not much different in age from the emperor of Chengde. The two have been playmates in the capital since they were young. When they were young, they were naughty together. Fetters, but in all fairness, the Holy Son of Heaven may have suppressed the Pingnan Houfu, but he did not hurt Li Shen.

   Even, he never thought of hurting Li Shen.

  When Li Xin first came to Beijing and wrote the somewhat rebellious "big character poster", it was also the emperor of Chengde who saw Li Shen's face and chose to turn a blind eye.

   And he died at the hands of the Marquis of Pingnan when he was only forty-five years old!

  According to this point, the Pingnan Houfu is sorry for the emperor of Chengde anyway.

  Li Shen bent down to pick up the jar of wine and the paper money offerings, and walked into the hall with some difficulty.

   "So, I came here to see him come."

  Chen Ju nodded, turned around and walked out of the palace, and waved his hand, indicating that the nearby guards should stay farther away.

   He even called Li Xin out of Xiangdian.

  Li Xin walked out in a cooperative manner, leaving Li Shen alone in Xiangdian.

  Chen Ju led Li Xin and walked to an ordinary log cabin next to him. This once-powerful grand duke looked up at Li Xin and said softly, "What kind of official position is Mr. Li now?"

  Li Xin held the junior salute and replied, "The Minister of War."

   The gray-haired old man was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "It can be regarded as inheriting the father's business, and the Marquis of Pingnan used to be the Minister of War."

   Li Xin frowned and said nothing.

  Chen Ju is no longer in the courtroom, so there is no point in arguing with him.

   "Dong Cheng has often come to Zhaoling to visit me in the past two years."

  Chen Ju glanced at Li Xin and said slowly, "I asked him, and he said that Mr. Li taught him."

   Li Xin said indifferently.

   "Dong Cheng is your adopted son, and it is only natural for him to visit you."

  The big **** smiled.

   "I have more than a dozen adopted sons. Since I moved to Zhaoling, only one such adopted son, Dong Cheng, has been here."

   The old **** said indifferently: "These people who lack seeds have lost their hearts."

  …………

   In the hall on the other side, the door was closed.

  There is only one person left in the huge Xiangdian. On the incense table in Xiangdian, the portrait of the emperor of Chengde is sitting quietly, looking forward, his eyes seem to be bright.

   The Marquis of Pingnan, Li Shen, did not kneel on the ground, but sat in front of the incense table and filled the brazier with paper money piece by piece.

   "I'm sorry for you."

  Li Shen lowered his head slowly and said, "You shouldn't have died, at least you shouldn't have died so early."

  The emperor of Chengde has always been in good health. Although the emperor's occupation generally does not have a long lifespan, in the situation of the emperor of Chengde, it is not a big problem to live another ten years.

   But because of an assassination attempt by Li Yan, this mighty and wise Son of Heaven left with hatred.

   He was still worried about this matter until his death, so he told Chen Ju that Li Shen owed him an explanation.

   Mr. Pingnan opened the jar of spirits he brought, first sprinkled some on the ground, then raised his head and took a sip.

   "I never thought of harming you."

  Li Shen muttered to himself: "No matter when."

   "When we were very young, the two of us were considered friends. At that time, I was in the capital as a hostage. No one dared to make friends with me, and only you, Your Royal Highness, dared to come to me..."

  The emperor of Chengde was the only son of Emperor Wu, so when he was the prince, he was the only seedling in a thousand hectares of land, and he could be said to be unscrupulous in the capital.

  Li Shen sat on the ground without any image, as if talking to himself.

   "I consider you a friend too."

"Even if you become the emperor later, I don't dare to treat you as a friend, but in my spare time, I still think, can I still be the little prince in the Pingnan Hou mansion, and can you still be that one? Your Royal Highness."

  …

   "Li Yan did something wrong, I really want to kill him."

   "If killing him can keep you alive, I will kill him without hesitation..."

  Li Shen sat on the ground alone, raised his head and took another sip of wine.

   He stuffed a large amount of paper money into the brazier, then looked up at the portrait of the Son of Heaven on the spiritual seat.

   "You know what, I can actually run."

   "I've been in the southwest for more than ten years. Even if I can't win, I won't lose. I can hide in the mountains, and I can continue to live a happy life."

"But I think that since Pingnan Hou's mansion is gone, there will be no conflict between us. I don't have to guard the family business left by my father, and I don't have to live for others in fear, I can do something for myself. "

   "That's why I just wanted to see you."

   "Just now, Chen Ju said, before you die, you want me to give you an explanation."

   The former general of the Zhuguo stood up from the ground, then he poured the remaining half of the jar of wine on the ground, and looked up at the portrait of the emperor.

   After a long time, he tidied up his clothes, and finally, with the courtesy of his peers, he bent deeply towards the portrait.

   "Ji Man, Li Shen is sorry for you."

   "You are two years older than me in this life. If you have a next life, you should be three years older than me."

   "If there is a next life, I will kill you once."
