At this time, Li Shen naturally shouldn't come back.

As long as he sits in southern Xinjiang, he can advance and retreat freely, and wait and watch the changes in the capital, even if the people in the capital Pingnan Hou Mansion die, it will not affect Li Shen in southern Xinjiang, and he can arrange it calmly.

To put it more ruthlessly, since Li Chun, the son of the Pingnan Hou Mansion, is dead, the remaining people in the capital are actually not very nostalgic.

Not to mention whether Li Shen has another son in southern Xinjiang, even if he doesn't, this general of the Zhu State is only forty-three years old this year, and he can have another litter.

But he came back.

This approach made everyone unable to guess Li Shen's thoughts.

Early the next morning, as soon as Li Xin got up to wash, the subordinates of the princess's mansion ran over in a panic and said to Li Xinzuo: "Li Gongzi, the father-in-law in the palace is here, and the princess asked you to go to the main hall to receive the will." ”

Li Xin frowned.

Yesterday, the emperor asked His Royal Highness the King of Wei to send a message and let him go out of the city to greet Li Shen, it stands to reason that this can already be regarded as an oracle, why did the palace send a decree again today, could it be that something happened to the Son of Heaven

Li Xin put down the willow branch in his hand to clean his teeth, nodded and said, "Got it, I'll change my clothes and go to the main hall of the front hall." ”

The subordinate nodded, bowed and withdrew.

At this time, the weather was already cold, Li Xin changed into a cyan cotton robe, fastened his belt, and walked out of his yard.

At this time, it has been more than half a year since he came to Dajin, and his age is the time to grow his body, during this time he listened to Wang Zhong's teachings, and often bought some beef back to nourish his body, and now, Li Xin's height is much higher than last year, and he has some slender meaning.

At this time, Li Xin completely lost the timid feeling of last year, and he looked like a handsome boy at a glance.

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

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

He is the eunuch of the inner eunuch, although the inner eunuch is the head of the eight eunuchs, but the work of drafting and reading the holy decree is often done by the Bingbi eunuch, one of the eight eunuchs, and there is no need for Chen Ju to go out of the palace to run errands in person.

It can be said that all the holy decrees read by this grand duke out of the palace are without exception the heart of the Holy Son of Heaven, and there is no room for mistakes or omissions.

Li Xin hurriedly arched his hand and said: "I don't know if the grand duke has arrived, and he has been lazy and lazy." ”

Chen Ju glanced at Li Xin, and then sighed slowly: "General Li Lang, Your Majesty has an order, let you go to Zhengyang Station in the south of the city now, and welcome Li Shen, the Marquis of Nanping, into Beijing." ”

Li Xin frowned.

Zhengyangyi is a big post station on the official road in the south of the capital, about 200 miles away from the capital.

If I am not mistaken, in the news sent by the Seven Princes yesterday, it was said that Li Shen had arrived at Zhengyang Station, why is it that now that a day has passed, he is still in Zhengyang Station

Li Xin lowered his head and asked: "Grand Duke, there is naturally no problem with going out of the city to greet you, but how can there be a reason to go out of the city for 200 miles to greet you?"

Chen Ju shook his head slightly, took out an apricot-colored letter from his sleeve, and handed it to Li Xin: "This is Your Majesty's handwritten letter, you go to Zhengyangyi and hand it to Li Shen, otherwise he is unwilling to enter Beijing." ”

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

Looking at the current situation, he should have stopped at Zhengyangyi, and then sent someone to send a letter to the palace to discuss what conditions were with the Son of Heaven of Chengde, and the letter that Chen Ju handed to Li Xin was the reply of the Son of Heaven of Chengde to Li Shen.

Listening to Chen Ju's meaning, the Son of Heaven agreed to Li Shen's conditions.

Li Xin was silent for a while, and finally took the letter from the Son of Heaven with both hands, bowed his head and said, "I know about my humble duties." ”

Chen Ju looked up at the sky, and said in a deep voice: "It's not early, you set off now, you should be able to get to Zhengyangyi in the evening, and before the city gate closes tomorrow, you must bring Li Shen into the capital."

Li Xin smiled bitterly.

"The Grand Duke is too high-minded, if he is unwilling to enter the city, how can the lowly position help him"

Chen Ju took a deep breath.

"That's it, you try to bring him to the capital as soon as possible."

Li Xin coughed, nodded and said, "Okay, let's go." ”

As he spoke, he said hello to the Ninth Princess and Zhong Xiaoxiao, and after taking out his own dark cloud horse from the stable of the Princess's Mansion, he brought some cadres to drink water and turned over on the horse on Victory Street.

Datongfang is in the south of the city, very close to the south city gate, Li Xin held the Yulin Wei waist card to open the block of the south city gate, and ran all the way along the official road towards Zhengyangyi.

The dark cloud horse recognized the master, during this time Li Xin was injured, and no one could ride it, and raised a lot of fat, and suddenly went out of the city at this time, and spread his hooves and ran wildly on the official road, running heartily.

In the evening, Li Xin arrived at Zhengyangyi.

As soon as he got off the horse, he saw a continuous stream of tents near Zhengyangyi, which were connected into a camp.

hiss

Looking at the number of tents, Li Shen brought at least more than 500 people, or even thousands of people to Zhengyangyi, looking at this situation, it is estimated that as long as the negotiation with the Chengde Emperor collapses, he will immediately turn around and go back to southern Xinjiang.

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

Most of these people had horses, and as long as there were enough scouts nearby and far enough, the forbidden army with all foot soldiers had little chance to surround them.

Li Xin took a deep breath, turned over and dismounted, walked to the door of the tent, bent over and hugged his fists and said: "Yulin Wei Youlang will Li Xin, on the orders of His Majesty, ask to see Marquis Li." ”

The soldier guarding the door nodded, turned around and went in to report, and it didn't take long for a man to come out and lead Li Xin towards the depths of the tent.

Although Li Shen is not a good person, he is still very good at doing things, this camp tent is arranged by him according to the military formation, and each other can calmly support each other, and the post station called Zhengyangyi is surrounded by these tents in the middle, acting as a handsome tent.

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

said that it was a post station, but in fact it was a small courtyard composed of more than a dozen bungalows, and this little soldier was expressionless.

"The general is inside, you can go in."

Li Xin nodded and walked in.

Li Shen was sitting in the courtyard of Zhengyangyi, at this time he was not wearing armor, but was dressed in black, probably mourning his deceased son.

Compared with the last time they met, Li Shen was relatively haggard at this time, he was sitting in the courtyard, not surprised by Li Xin's arrival, but just glanced at Li Xin lightly.

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

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

"Ben knows, you can go back."

Lee was furious.

Your son was not killed by me, so what are you pretending to be in front of me?

He held back the anger in his heart, bowed his head and said, "Marquis Li, Your Majesty means to let you go back to Beijing with me."

Li Shen glanced up at Li Xin, his face expressionless.

"The general told His Majesty that he wanted to send Li Yan out of the capital, and the general would enter Beijing, and His Majesty also agreed in the letter, now that Li Yan has not left Beijing, why should he enter Beijing?"

Li Xin frowned and said, "What kind of truth is this?"

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

General Zhu Guoda was still expressionless.

"When it comes to fighting, Li Yan is better than me."
