The army of the Great Jin Dynasty stationed in southern Xinjiang, named the Pingnan Army, was the first Pingnan Marquis Li Zhijie with this army, which broke through the capital of Nanshu and incorporated the territory of Nanshu into the territory of the Great Jin Dynasty.

This is the credit of destroying the country.

According to the reason, this Pingnanhou Li family should not and will not have a good end, but the fact is that the two generations of the Li family, the Pingnan Hou and the two generations of the Ji family, are safe, and when it comes to Li Shen's generation, they are closer to each other, so the two monarchs and ministers are passed down as good stories by the government and the opposition.

However, there are not so many good stories in this world, and the reason why the two families can get along smoothly is because the Pingnan army has long ceased to have the emperor's surname.

The establishment of this army reported to the imperial court was 100,000 people, but the specific number of people was only clear to Li Shen, the Marquis of Pingnan.

After the "two trembling" Pingnan Marquis, after trembling out of the imperial city, his legs immediately stopped shaking, led his horse at the gate of the palace, and arched his hand to the great eunuch Chen Ju who came to see him off, and then got on the horse and walked towards Yongle Fang.

Yongle Fang is not far from the imperial city, Li Shen's horse is a rare good horse, less than a pillar of incense, he is at the main gate of the Pingnan Hou Mansion.

Soon, the middle door of the Pingnan Hou Mansion was opened, and Mrs. Yu walked in the front, leading a group of family members to salute Li Shen.

"Welcome back to the house."

Li Shen, who looked black and thin, waved his hand lightly: "What should I do, what should I do." ”

As soon as he said this, the subordinates of the Pingnan Hou Mansion immediately dispersed, leaving only Mrs. Yu and the little marquis Li Chun, Li Shen glanced at his eldest son, his face was expressionless.

Mrs. Yu stepped forward and pulled Li Shen's sleeve, and said with a smile: "Hou Ye has worked hard all the way, and he hasn't eaten yet, after the concubine received the news, she asked the family to get a table of Hou Ye's favorite dishes, and waited for Hou Ye to come back." ”

Li Shen nodded lightly: "Since I came back, I have been tossing in the palace until now, and I am indeed hungry." ”

Drinking with the emperor is naturally not able to eat vigorously, in fact, in the conversation just now, the monarch and the minister were both intriguing and testing each other, and they did not eat a few mouthfuls of food.

Mrs. Yu hugged Li Shen and walked into the side hall of the Pingnan Hou Mansion for dinner, the side hall was full of dishes, and after Mrs. Yu pulled Li Shen to sit down, she said with a smile: "After waiting for the Hou Ye for a long time, some dishes are cold, and the concubine let them go to heat it up." ”

"No need."

Li Shen sat down on the main seat, and then waved his hand: "In the army, it's good to have a bite to eat, it doesn't matter if it's hot or not, you all sit down and eat." ”

Li Shen arrived in the capital in the evening, and when he came back from the palace at this time, it was already late at night, but at this time, no one in the Pingnan Hou Mansion had dinner, because he, the master, did not eat, and no one below dared to move the chopsticks.

The little marquis Li Chun was also hungry until now, and when he heard this, he also sat down and picked up the chopsticks on the table.

At this time, Li Shen, who was immersed in eating, raised his head and looked at Li Chun with a pair of eyes like a tiger: "Who let you eat?" ”

Li Chun was frightened, quickly stood up, and looked at his father with some puzzlement: "Daddy......"

Li Shen continued to eat without raising his head: "Go to the ancestral hall and kneel, and wait until I have eaten and have a little strength before cleaning you up." ”

Li Chun's face turned a little pale, he looked at his mother, Mrs. Yu had been married to Li Shen for so many years, and it was the first time she had seen her husband so angry, she hurriedly gave her son a look and motioned for Li Chun to go to the ancestral hall first.

After Li Chun left the side hall, Mrs. Yu squeezed out a smiling face, sat next to Li Shen, and asked, "Master Hou, what did Chun'er do to make you angry, you talk to the concubine, the concubine will definitely not be able to spare him." ”

The habit developed in the army, Li Shen has been eating very quickly, he slowly put down the dishes and chopsticks in his hand, turned his head and glanced at Mrs. Yu, and his voice was calm: "This son you gave birth to wants the lives of my Li family and so many soldiers in southern Xinjiang." ”

Mrs. Yu's face turned pale, and she said in a trembling voice: "Master Hou, Chun'er... He has always been sensible, he doesn't dare to do such a thing......"

Li Shen slowly got up from the chair, then stepped on the chair with one foot, and tore the chair apart, and then he found the thickest wood from the chair parts all over the ground, carried the wood, and walked towards the ancestral hall of the Li family.

Madame Yu was frightened stupidly, and it wasn't until Li Shen walked out of the side hall for a long time that she hurriedly chased after her, and her mouth was sad: "Master Hou...... Master Hou..."

In the ancestral hall of the Li family, the little marquis Li Chun was kneeling in front of the ancestral tablet of the Li family, and Li Shen, the marquis of Pingnan, was holding a thick piece of wood with an indifferent expression.

"What have you done in the past few years that I have been in the capital?"

Li Shen is a fairly gentle person on weekdays, and when he was in the capital before, he treated his family with a pleasant face, and although he was a little strict with Li Chun, he was not too excessive.

This was the first time Li Chun had seen Li Chun so angry, the little marquis's face was a little pale, and he said in a trembling voice: "Dad...... The boy didn't do anything..."

Li Chun squatted down in front of his son, and his voice was indifferent: "Before I left Beijing, did I tell you that it is strictly forbidden to mess with the affairs in the capital, and tell you to practice literature and martial arts at home, and when you go to southern Xinjiang in the future, you will take over my position." ”

Li Chun's face was pale: "Dad, the child has studied hard, and the family martial arts have not been left behind." ”

Li Shen stood up and kicked his son in the stomach hard, and the Pingnanhou voice was angry: "But you befriended the prince!" ”

"Do you know why my Li family can survive for a long time?"

Li Chun was kicked by Li Shen and rolled on the ground, where could he speak, the wooden stick in Li Shen's hand swung out and hit Li Chun's back accurately.

"It's because of my Li family, I never provoke right and wrong!"

Since Li Zhijie, the Li family has never interfered in the matter of seizing the heir, let alone any behavior in the court.

At that time, Li Shen was friendly with the current Chengde Son of Heaven because Chengde Son of Heaven was the only prince of the first emperor and the only heir to the throne, so Li Shen would "play from childhood to adulthood" with the Chengde Son of Heaven, and now it has become a good story for monarchs and ministers.

And the reason why this little marquis Li Chun married the four princes is also because of the meaning of learning from his father.

However, the current Emperor Chengde has more than one son.

The Li family has troops outside, as long as they do not participate in standing in line, no matter which prince becomes the emperor in the future, they will have to continue to reuse the Li family, which is originally a "steady win" situation, but as long as one team stands, this 100% win situation will only have a quarter of the winning side.

For example, if the Pingnan Hou Mansion falls to the fourth prince Ji Huan, and the four princes fail to win the throne in the future, the new emperor will regard the Pingnan Hou Mansion as a thorn in the flesh, even if he can't deal with the Li family for a while, he will try his best to make the Li family go up in smoke.

The Li family didn't have to enter the game.

After Li Shen went down with a stick, the anger in his heart did not decrease, and he said loudly: "Stand up." ”

Li Chun has practiced martial arts, and his body is very strong, and ordinary people are beaten so much that they probably can't stand up, but this little marquis stood up trembling with gritted teeth.

Li Shen waved the wooden stick in his hand and was about to fight again.

At the door of the ancestral hall, Mrs. Yu rushed in, grabbed Li Shen's hand, and cried: "Master Hou, if you beat him again, you will kill him......"

Li Shen looked at Mrs. Yu coldly: "Who let you in?" ”

The ancestral hall is heavy, and only men are allowed to come in, and under normal circumstances, Mrs. Yu is not allowed to come in.

Mrs. Yu's face was full of tears, and she cried: "Master Hou, if you want to beat Chun'er, why don't you even fight the concubine together......"

Mrs. Yu was born in the Zheng family, a big family in the Great Jin Dynasty, and was quite influential in the court, and on weekdays, Li Shen also respected her.

But now, Li Shen is still expressionless.

"You intercede for him, do you know what this beast has done?"

Li Shen trembled with anger: "His grandfather has easily managed Southern Xinjiang into the current situation, as long as the remnants of Nanshu are not clear, our Li family will be rich and prosperous for a day, and the Pingnan Army will be able to live with the imperial court safe and sound!" ”

The Pingnan Marquis Mansion has been guarding southern Xinjiang for more than 30 years, and in the past 30 years, the imperial court has wanted to replace the chief general of the Pingnan Army more than once, but often the imperial court's order is still on the way, and the remnants of Nanshu will immediately begin to make trouble, and those new generals who can't command the Pingnan Army can only leave gloomily.

Some of them died in southern Xinjiang.

It seems that only the Li family can settle down in southern Xinjiang.

This is the self-respect of raising a coward.

"But because of this brute, the 100,000 troops in southern Xinjiang were pushed into danger by him!"

Li Shen looked at his son coldly and said sharply: "If you are still surnamed Li, you will stand here!" ”

Li Chun stood tremblingly in front of Li Shen, gritted his teeth at his mother and said, "Mother, don't ask......

The stick in Li Shen's hand was waved down mercilessly.

With a "click", the stick broke.

Li Chun's leg was also broken.

The little marquis of the Pingnan Hou Mansion broke out in a cold sweat in pain, but he gritted his teeth and didn't say a word.

Li Shen glanced at his son coldly, and his voice was cold: "Just because of your misdeeds, I was forced to go back to Beijing to deal with this matter, from today onwards, if I know what connection you have with any prince, I will beat you to death in this ancestral hall!" ”

Speaking of this, Li Shen glanced at the mother and son coldly.

"A loving mother is a loser, if you are strict with him on weekdays, he will not be so stupid today!"

"Get out of here."

With tears on her face, Mrs. Yu called out to a few subordinates, and carried out Li Chun, who gritted her teeth and refused to cry out in pain.

And Li Shen found a futon in the ancestral hall and knelt in front of the Li family's ancestors and ancestors.

He bowed respectfully to the tablet of his father Li Zhijie.

"Father, my son has made amends for your sins on behalf of your descendants."
