After Li Yan faced the saint, soon a holy decree descended, and he was named the deputy general of the Pingnan Army and became the right attendant of the military department.

He privately consulted Li Xin's document, but Chengde Tianzi did not publicize it, and the court was calm and calm, as if nothing had happened.

The Son of Heaven in Chengde did not move, and Li Yan was also very sensible and did not continue to sue him, after all, the party Li Xin is not in the capital now, and it is useless to make trouble now.

If it was said before, the attitude of the Pingnan Hou Mansion towards Li Xin could be said to be indifferent, but after Li Yan wrote the book, the Pingnan Hou Mansion completely turned against Li Xin, and the two sides became undying enemies.

The reason why it is like this is actually because of two things.

Li Xin hated Li Chun for tying up Zhong Xiaoxiao, so he turned against the Pingnan Hou Mansion, while Li Shen was annoyed that Li Xin was calculating the Li family.

At the beginning, Li Shen and Li Xin agreed on the pension list, and both of them agreed on this matter, but Li Xin actually used this matter to make a fuss in private and ruthlessly put the Li family together, which made Li Shen, who was the general of the Zhu Kingdom, quite annoyed.

That's why there was a follow-up to Li Yan's return to Beijing.

Li Shen knew very well in his heart that with Mrs. Yu and Li Chun, it was unlikely that he would be Li Xin's opponent, and it was not convenient for him to return to Beijing, so he could only send Li Yan back to the capital to take charge for the time being.

The day after Li Yan wrote the book, the seventh prince Ji Wen was summoned into the palace.

In the side hall of Changle Palace, His Royal Highness the King of Wei knelt on the ground, holding Li Yan's book in his hand, and he was dripping with cold sweat.

"Father, this-"

Chengde Tianzi was expressionless, and said: "This is Li Yan's prelude to me, and he colluded with the bandits in southern Xinjiang during the period when Li trusted the military envoys, do you know about this matter?" ”

The Seventh Prince shook his head with a wry smile: "Father, Li Xin is just a captain of Yulinwei, although there are one or two hundred people under him, but he only has the right to command troops and not the right to transfer troops, how can such a military attache the size of a sesame seed be qualified to collude with the bandits in southern Xinjiang?" This must be because the Li family has a grudge against Li Xin because of what happened last time, so they wrote to take revenge, and the father Mingjian, don't be fooled. ”

If you want to communicate with foreign countries, the minimum condition is to be in a high position, otherwise it cannot be called collusion, but called refuge, and the remnants of southern Xinjiang have now declined to this state, and Li Xin has no reason to take refuge in them.

Chengde Tianzi was expressionless: "Li Xin is naturally not qualified to collude with those anti-thieves, but the people behind Li Xin do." ”

Li Xin has done so many things for the Wei Wangfu in the capital, and it is self-evident who the person behind him is.

His Royal Highness King Wei's face changed greatly, and he quickly knelt down and kowtowed: "Father, the son will never dare!" ”

"Erchen is a gentleman and a father, he has always been sincere, and he will never dare to have any crooked thoughts, besides, the remnants of Nanshu are not as good as the Pingnan Army, even if Erchen is crazy and has some thoughts that should not be had, he will not look for this kind of grasshopper after autumn......"

The Seventh Emperor kowtowed and said: "Father, what Li Xin did in Southern Xinjiang, the sons and daughters really don't know anything about it, please Father Mingjian!" ”

Chengde Tianzi nodded lightly and said, "I also think you shouldn't know about this matter, but Chen Ju went to check yesterday, and Li Xin was indeed followed by a Shu man, that is, after he came back from southern Xinjiang, he followed him." ”

"Do you know about this person?"

The Seventh Prince shook his head and said, "In the past few months, Erchen has been busy making wine, and he has neglected a lot of miscellaneous things......"

His Majesty the Emperor stretched out his finger and lightly tapped on the table while frowning: "If what Li Yan said is true, this Li Xin has really met those remnants of Nanshu, guess what Li Xin wants to do?" ”

The Seventh Prince bowed his head and said: "Li Xin once told some of his stories to his sons, his mother gave birth to him unmarried, and he has been dependent on the mother and son for more than ten years, not to mention the hardships of life, and he has been abused by the villagers, so he is mostly ...... Hates the Li family to the bone, not to mention whether Li Xin has contact with the remnants of Nanshu, if he really does, most of them also want to find some breakthroughs in the Pingnan Army from these people......"

The Son of Heaven in Chengde nodded slowly and agreed with the words of the Seventh Prince.

"That's how it should be."

His Majesty the Emperor, after frowning and thinking for a moment, looked up at Ji Wen and said, "Where is Li Xin now?" ”

His Royal Highness King Wei shook his head and said: "I don't know, but if you calculate the itinerary, it should be on the way back to Beijing at this time, three or five days as fast, and ten days and half a month as slow." ”

"When he arrives in the capital, let him not go anywhere, and come to see me as soon as possible."

His Royal Highness King Wei took a deep breath and said, "Erchen obeys. ”

The conversation between father and son seems to be commonplace, but every sentence is wrong, which is enough to make Li Xin die without a place to be buried.

As long as the Seventh Prince relaxes, Li Xin may end up with his head on the ground.

After leaving the palace, His Royal Highness King Wei's back was already drenched in sweat.

To be honest, if it weren't for Li Xin being too important to him now, he would never have spoken for Li Xin like this in front of the Son of Heaven, and maybe even when the Son of Heaven mentioned that when Li Xin contacted Southern Xinjiang, the Seventh Prince would have to start to dissociate himself from Li Xin.

But now, Zhurong wine has begun to bring huge benefits to the Wei Palace, and most of the things that pacify the southern Xinjiang will also fall into the hands of Li Xin in the future, Li Xin is almost the biggest help of the Wei Palace, in this case, His Royal Highness the King of Wei gritted his teeth and protected a wave of Li Xin.

After leaving the palace, he was still afraid.

In that situation just now, as long as the Son of Chengde is a little dumb, it is almost impossible for him to clear the charge of colluding with thieves, but fortunately, the Son of Chengde is wise enough to distinguish right from wrong.

This feeling of pinning one's life and future on the thoughts of others makes Ji Wen very uncomfortable.

After returning to the Wei Palace, the Seventh Prince sat on the main throne and drank several cups of tea, before he reluctantly settled down, waved his hand and beckoned a subordinate to speak: "You set off now, go north to find Li Xin and Captain Li's team, and then come back to tell this king when he will be able to return to the capital." ”

The subordinate bowed his head: "The villain obeys." ”

"Remember to be accurate in time, this king must know when he will be able to return to the capital."

"Yes."

On this night, His Royal Highness the King of Wei had insomnia, and the words of the Son of Heaven in Chengde were like nightmares, which made him suffer some gains and losses, and as soon as he closed his eyes, he would think of some bad things.

Until dawn, he did not slow down.

The next morning, the retainer who was sent out by him ran back in a panic, knelt in front of Ji Wen, and said respectfully: "Your Highness, Captain Li, they are already two hundred miles away, and they will be able to enter the city in two or three days." ”

His Royal Highness King Wei was originally closing his eyes to recuperate, and when he heard the words, he opened his bloodshot eyes.

"Got it."
