Chapter 407: Blood is thicker than water
Before officially tearing the skin, it is still necessary to win over, for example, the Xingyang Zheng family, if these families can be persuaded to give up the Pingnan Hou Mansion, then Li Xin and Taikang Tianzi will have a lot of time to prepare.
As for whether the Autumn Queen is an account, that is the matter of Taikang Tianzi, and it has nothing to do with Li Xin.
Zheng Gui didn't answer in a hurry, but lowered his head and took a sip of tea, and said in a low voice: "Marquis of Jing'an, originally His Majesty summoned him, and the old man was going to enter the palace to face the saint anyway, but after all, the old man is old, and his body is a little uncomfortable, and he has been infected with the wind and cold recently, and he is afraid of contaminating it to His Majesty. ”
"Wind chill, ......"
Li Xin knocked lightly on the table and said indifferently: "Mr. Zheng is old, this cold may kill the old man." ”
Zheng Gui said with a smile: "If you live for more than sixty years, it can be regarded as a long life, even if you die at this time, it is enough." ”
Li Xin did not reply.
He actually wanted to say at this time that your conspiracy had been seen through by Lao Tzu, and then scared these two guys into the face of dirt, but this was useless, except for a momentary coolness, you can only startle the snake.
Li Xin took a sip of tea slowly.
Then he stood up and smiled freely: "Ben Hou came this time to release goodwill on behalf of His Majesty, since you Northern Zhou clan don't know what to do, then you can only bear the consequences." ”
As he spoke, Li Xin glanced at Li Shen lightly.
"Li Shangshu, Ben Hou doesn't stay much."
Li Shen also stood up, turned around and bowed to Zheng Gui and said, "Father-in-law will sit here for a while, and the son-in-law will send one to Jing'anhou." ”
Zheng Gui waved his hand.
"Jin Chen go by himself, don't pay attention to my bad old man."
Li Shen walked up to Li Xin with an indifferent smile on his face.
"Jing'anhou, please."
Li Xin clasped his hands in his front sleeves and walked behind Li Shen.
"When you go back to Yongzhou, are you repairing your mother's grave?"
When he was halfway there, Li Shen suddenly asked this sentence coldly.
Li Xin's face was expressionless: "It's your business." ”
General Zhu Guo stopped and looked back at Li Xin.
"You are young, and you gained power early, and it is normal to be arrogant, but you must remember one thing, treat others more humblely, and you will offend many people less."
A mocking smile appeared on Li Xin's face.
"The general misunderstood, Ben Hou is very polite on weekdays, only when facing the general, is this the appearance."
Li Shen shook his head, didn't say anything, and continued to walk forward.
"What do you think of the current situation in the capital?"
Li Xin's face was expressionless: "You're going to die." ”
"If Nanjiang makes a move, you will die immediately, if Nanjiang doesn't do it, you will still die in a few years, Li Yan has no brains, and he can't preside over Nanjiang."
"What about the deposed prince you deliberately released from Beijing?"
Li Shen walked to the bottom of a gazebo and sat down very naturally, with a faint smile on his face.
"Originally, what you said was very right, without this abolished prince, I would probably die in the capital, and when the new emperor sits in a stable position, he will go to southern Xinjiang to find Li Yan for revenge, and southern Xinjiang will not last long, no matter what, it will be a dead end."
Speaking of this, Li Yan smiled and said: "It's just that suddenly a big prince escaped into my hands, and I also sent him to southern Xinjiang smoothly, do you know, in the past half a year, with this big prince, I have gathered a lot of old Northern Zhou families, and now everything is ready, I can do it at any time to help the abolished prince reinstate." ”
At this time, Li Xin had not yet revealed that he already knew the intentions of the Pingnan Hou Mansion, that is to say, Li Shen took the initiative to have a showdown with him.
"And then?"
Li Xin remained silent.
General Zhu Guoda's face was calm.
"I need you to help me."
The slender Pingnanhou lowered his voice: "Chun'er is gone, Li Shuo is still young and unusable, you are also my son, you can also inherit Southern Xinjiang." ”
He said word by word.
"As long as you help the eldest prince to reinstate, the Li family is the first prominent family in the Great Jin Dynasty, with the talent of the great prince, after you inherit the Li family, you will definitely be able to monopolize power in the future."
"As long as you are willing to help, Your Majesty today will not be our opponent."
Li Xin was originally expressionless, but after listening to this passage, a playful smile appeared on his face.
"Does the general want me to let you out of Beijing?"
Li Shen nodded slowly: "I went back to southern Xinjiang, and I can return to the capital within half a year, Pei Jin is a diehard loyalist of the first emperor, he has the status of the eldest prince, the forbidden army will not fight with us, and you have Yu Linwei under your hand, as long as you are willing to cooperate, after six months, the emperor will be replaced." ”
The smile on Li Xin's face became even stronger.
"Then I'll go to your Li family and be your son?"
Li Shen's face was calm: "When the time comes, if you don't like me, I can die." ”
"Hah!"
Li Xin finally laughed.
"I'm afraid that when the time comes, this sentence will have to be reversed!"
Li Shen took a deep breath.
"You are my son, I will not harm you, Li Xin, blood is thicker than water."
"You are desperate to help the new emperor, he really can trust you?"
"Only the Li family can trust you."
Li Xin sneered: "So far, none of your Li family members have anyone who is pleasing to the eye, and you tell me this?" ”
As he spoke, Li Xin suddenly remembered something.
"Oh yes, your son named Li Shuo is not bad, he knows a little bit of politeness, not like Li Chun, like a stupid roe deer."
Li Shen remained silent, reached out from his sleeve, and took out a piece of jade pendant, which was reassembled and had obvious signs of breaking.
There was even a fragment or two missing.
On the jade pendant, you can vaguely see the word "Shen".
"At the beginning, you dropped this piece of jade, I found someone to repair it, and I always carried it with me."
Li Shen was silent for a while, and then said: "I don't know how to speak, but I didn't know that your mother was pregnant, and I didn't go to look for her later, because my father was seriously ill at that time, and I was stumped by the affairs of Southern Xinjiang. ”
"I thought she was married."
"I can't live with you mother and son in this matter, there is nothing to say."
Li Shen's voice was calm, and he said slowly: "As for not recognizing you last year, you should be able to understand that I want to protect the Li family in that situation." ”
"For me, the Li family is much more important than a son, and it is also much more important than myself."
"Last year, when you went to southern Xinjiang, I could kill you a hundred times, but I didn't do it."
Li Shen closed his eyes and said slowly: "That's all I have to say, you are very smart, you should be able to figure it out for yourself, what to do, you make your own decisions." ”
"Li Chun is not as good as you, Li Shuo is not as good as you, you do things with me, and your family can only be yours in the future."
Li Xin glanced at Li Shen deeply, and a mocking smile appeared on his face.
"What if I asked you to kneel and kowtow to my mother and confess?"
"I can go."
Li Shen's face was calm: "As long as I leave Beijing, I will immediately go to Yongzhou to kowtow in front of your mother's spirit and confess my guilt, if you are still not satisfied, when the Pingnan Army is saved, I can kill myself in front of her grave." ”
The smile on Li Xin's face retracted.
"What a ruthless General Zhu Guo."
He muttered to himself.
"If you had spoken to me like this last year, I might have nodded in agreement."
"But it's different now."
A faint smile appeared on Jing Anhou's face.
"Now, I like to hold the knife in my own hands, and even if I don't have a knife yet, I won't wait to inherit someone else's knife."
Li Xin left with his hands in his hands.
"I forgot to tell the general, probably the day after tomorrow, Pei Jin will be promoted to the Dadu Governor's Mansion as the right governor."
Li Xin stopped and pointed to his nose: "And I, will become one of the two generals of the forbidden army." ”
The Marquis of Jing'an smiled brightly.
"Doesn't it feel like you're disappointed?"
"Ahead, there is a young man named Li Xin, who came to the capital with great difficulty, and after his hopes were dashed."
"It's also uncomfortable."
