After Li Shen returned to Beijing, he not only broke his son's leg, but also closed the door to thank the guests, and the Pingnan Hou Mansion did not receive outsiders again, and he himself sat quietly in the ancestral hall for a few days, and waited until the day of the imperial court meeting, before officially changing into court clothes and preparing to go to the court to face the saint to report on his work.

Early in the morning, the general of the Zhu State of the dynasty wore a first-class court uniform, rode a high-headed horse, walked on the street of Yongle Fang, ready to enter the palace to go to the court, when he walked to the palace gate, he saw a young man wearing a pro-dynasty uniform, quite tall, standing quietly on the side of the road, obviously waiting for a long time.

Li Shen's face was flat, he jumped off his horse, and bowed to the young man: "Li Shen, I have seen His Royal Highness the King of Qi." ”

This young man is none other than Ji Huan, the king of Qi, the fourth prince of the dynasty.

The fourth prince is only twenty-six years old this year, and compared to Li Shen, he is indeed still a young man.

In the face of Li Shen's salute, the fourth prince hurriedly returned the salute and said with a smile: "The general is the elder of Xiao Wang, and he doesn't dare to be a general." ”

Li Shen is the general of the Zhu State in the current dynasty, this title is much more beautiful than a Pingnan Hou, and he is called in the officialdom, so he naturally chooses the biggest title.

Ji Huan is the secretary of the military department of the current dynasty, but although the military department is in charge of the selection and conciseness of the generals, it is not in charge of the military power, and Li Shen's grade is from the first grade, which is one level higher than the military department of the second grade, so the military department has long had no power to control Li Shen.

Li Shen said in a low voice: "His Royal Highness King Qi is waiting at the gate of the palace, presumably there is something to say?" ”

Ji Huan's face became serious, and he said in a low voice: "General, that's the case, Xiao Wang recently heard that the little marquis was severely punished by you, so I specially wanted to explain to the general, Xiao Wang and your son are very good personal friends, but private relations are private relations, official affairs are official affairs, we have not touched on political affairs at all, I hope the general will not misunderstand your son because of this." ”

Although the news of Li Chun's beating did not spread, there were still some people in the capital who knew that the fourth prince was most concerned about the Pingnan Hou Mansion, and naturally received some rumors, he specially waited for this Pingnan Hou here today, just to try to save the relationship with the Pingnan Hou Mansion.

Li Shen bowed his head slightly, and said indifferently: "His Royal Highness the King of Qi, how to teach his son is the family affairs of the lower officials, my Li family has its own family rules and regulations, Your Highness should not interfere in the family affairs of the Li family?" ”

"Don't dare."

Ji Huan smiled reluctantly: "Xiao Wang just doesn't want to have any misunderstanding between the general's father and son, so he wants to help the little marquis explain, so that he doesn't suffer any grievances." ”

The Pingnan Hou Mansion has a big business, and there are hundreds of people in the family, and it is inevitable that there will be people who are not tight, or deliberately leak the news, and now there are many people in the capital who know that the little Hou of the Pingnan Hou Mansion was broken by his father.

Li Shen didn't care about this situation, he even deliberately let the news go.

The general of the Pillar Kingdom smiled indifferently at Ji Huan: "His Royal Highness the King of Qi, Li Chun is the son of the lower official, how to discipline is also a family matter of the Li family, the lower official just beat him to death, and he doesn't do anything for outsiders." ”

This is very blunt, but Ji Huan really has nothing to do with Li Shen, the fourth prince was deflated, he could only shake his head and sigh, and arched his hand at Li Shen: "General, don't hurt your flesh and blood." ”

Li Shen didn't reply anymore, arched his hand at Ji Huan, put his hands into his court clothes, and walked towards the palace gate.

As soon as Li Shen left, the young man, who was also wearing a pro-dynasty uniform, walked up to Ji Huan and said with a smile: "What's wrong with the imperial brother?" ”

It is Ji Wen, the seventh prince.

Li Chun and Ji Huan were friends before, and many people in the capital thought that the Pingnan Hou Mansion had fallen to the four princes, and Ji Wen also had some doubts in his heart, this time the Pingnan Hou returned to Beijing and directly broke Li Chun's leg, which was a very clear statement.

This attitude is that what Li Chun did had nothing to do with the Pingnan Hou Mansion, and the Pingnan Hou Mansion would not admit it.

After receiving this attitude, the happiest ones were, of course, the other princes, so the Seventh Princes were in a good mood now, with a smile on their faces.

Ji Huan's face was a little unpleasant, he glanced at the Seventh Prince, and his voice was cold: "It's okay." ”

His Royal Highness the King of Wei was not angry, but said in a deep voice: "It seems that the Marquis of Pingnan showed the fourth brother's face, he is so bold, a foreign minister dares to treat my Dajin clan like this, the fourth brother can rest assured, I will go to the court later, and my brother will join him for you." ”

These words are purely trouble-making, with Li Shen's current status, even the Son of Chengde can't easily move him, let alone a few princes who have not really taken power.

Ji Huan snorted coldly and walked towards the palace gate with his hands in his hands.

When the two brothers were arguing, Li Shen had already come to the door of Yong'an Gate.

At this time, at the gate of Yong'an Gate, it was Yu Linwei, who was dressed in black and black armor, on duty.

Among these Yulin guards, the leader was a young man, but the young man did not stand guard under the Cheng Tower, but stood on top of the city tower, and watched this Pingnan Marquis enter the city lightly.

After seeing Li Shen's appearance clearly, Li Xin realized that the Chengde Heavenly Son did not lie to him, and this Pingnanhou was indeed six or seven percent similar to him.

The first time he saw his father, Li Xin was quite complicated. He lowered his head slightly, hiding his gaze under his helmet.

Li Shen, who had already dismounted and walked, was walking in the palace, and suddenly seemed to sense something, and when he looked back, he saw a young man in black clothes and black armor on the tower of Yong'anmen Gate.

Li Shen was a little stunned.

This kind of affection between flesh and blood is difficult to describe in words, and the two people have intuitively understood each other's identities without saying a word.

After a few breaths, Li Xin turned around and continued to patrol the castle tower.

At the same time, Li Shen also looked away and walked towards the palace with an expressionless face.

His eldest son Li Chun may also have severed his relationship with the fourth prince, but Li Xin has been entangled with the seventh prince and is unlikely to be separated, just because of this, Li Shen will never recognize Li Xin.

Because this Pingnanhou seems to be a person, but in fact he is a combination of interests of the 100,000 army in southern Xinjiang, and everything he does is responsible for the entire collective.

Li Shen's face was indifferent, and he was extremely heavy step by step.

He knew in his heart that he was going to be sorry for the flower-like woman in Yongzhou City again.

Li Xin on the city wall, looking at Li Shen who was walking away, was also expressionless.

Li Xin didn't recognize his son, Li Xin also heard from the Seventh Prince in the past few days, at the beginning, he still had a little bit of loss in his heart, but there was only a trace of it, anyway, no matter whether Li Shen wanted to recognize him as a son or not, he would not recognize Li Shen's father.

In this way, when everyone tears their faces in the future, Li Xin will not have any psychological burden.

At this time, the expressions of the father and son were exactly the same.

Li Xin narrowed his eyes and sneered slightly in his heart.

"Do you think that if you beat Li Chun, the Li family will be able to get out safely?"
