Although Li Shen's proposal made Chengde Tianzi very moved, it is a pity that Li Shen cannot die in the current situation.

Li Yan is still alive, the Pingnan Army in southern Xinjiang is still there, if Li Shen dies in the capital, there will be a riot in the south, at this time it is the time of the change of dynasties, no one knows whether the new emperor can cope with the brackets of the national war, so no matter what, Li Shen will not have an accident.

The Son of Heaven took a deep breath and looked at Li Shen.

"If Li Yan is also in the capital, you will naturally be buried with you!"

Li Shen fell to his knees speechless.

At this point, it's all about it.

The Son of Heaven closed his eyes and rested for a while, then opened his eyes again: "From now on, you are in the palace, don't go anywhere." ”

"Chen Ju."

The great eunuch Chen Ju took a few steps forward and knelt on the ground respectfully: "The slave is here." ”

"Take Li Shen to the forbidden room, lock him up, and release him when the dust settles."

The forbidden room is the place where the punished palace people are held in the palace, which is similar to a small black house.

Li Shen bowed his head, and his voice was sincere: "Your Majesty, rest assured, the ministers have no intention of interfering in the change of the dynasty, the capital has been turbulent in the past few months, and the ministers have closed their doors, turned a deaf ear, and dare not intervene in it." ”

The Son of Heaven glanced at Li Shen indifferently, and then smiled.

"You didn't intervene, your bastard was very happy in it, and he almost became the protagonist of this court dispute!"

Li Shen lowered his head, and finally said slowly: "Your Majesty, that Li Xinfei is the son of the minister." ”

The Son of Heaven glanced at Li Shen lightly: "Then you are in Southern Xinjiang, do you have any other sons?" ”

Li Shen shook his head and said, "No." ”

The Son of Heaven sneered: "Li Zhijie has been a dog all his life, but when he came to you, he cut off the incense? ”

Li Shen shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, the Li family has the courage to stalemate with the imperial court to this day, and it has never been for the glory and wealth of their own family and surname, but just for the peace of the Pingnan army." ”

"You have become saints!"

The Son of Heaven said coldly: "Then Li Xin has a bitter enmity with you, if he stands on the winning side of this court battle, he will inevitably have to deal with the Li family to the end in the future, and when the time comes, it will be up to you to level the Southern Army, which can support it for a few years!" ”

Li Shen bowed his head and said: "The founding of the dynasty has been more than 100 years old, and no one has been able to defeat Your Majesty. ”

What Li Shen meant in his words was that the new emperor could not defeat His Majesty.

"Besides, King Wei may not be able to win."

The Son of Heaven arranged Li Xin in Yulinwei, standing at the height of Li Shen, and he could see the intention at a glance, so that the king of Wei had military power in his hands but did not appoint him as the prince, it was nothing more than to force out a new emperor who used force.

King Wei is quite weak, and if he can pass this level, it will indeed be of great benefit to him.

The Son of Heaven said indifferently: "This is not something you and I have to worry about, whoever succeeds and who fails, there is a new emperor in the Great Jin, as long as it is my son, it is impossible to get along with your Li family." ”

"Take him down."

Chen Ju bowed his head.

Li Shen knelt down and kowtowed, and said in a trembling voice: "Minister, please have a glass of wine." ”

The Son of Heaven frowned: "Bring him wine." ”

Chen Ju hurriedly asked someone to bring a pot of wine over, Li Shen got up and poured two glasses, one in his hand, and raised a glass to the Son of Chengde: "This cup, I respect Your Majesty." ”

As he spoke, he threw his head back and drank it all.

The cup fell to the ground and shattered, and Li Shen's eyes were also slightly red, obviously quite sad.

"Take it down."

The Son of Heaven was expressionless: "This guy has good martial arts, remember to lock him up, don't let him break free." ”

"The slave knows."

After Li Shen was taken away by Chen Ju, the Son of Heaven sat on his soft couch, still stunned.

After a while, he walked over to the wine plate, looked at the remaining glass of wine on the plate, hesitated for a moment, and then took it.

The Son of Heaven let out a long sigh.

"Well, I'm going to die, so I won't bother with you."

After that, the emperor of Chengde also raised his wine glass and drank it all in one gulp.

After drinking this glass of wine, the Son of Heaven seemed to have been drained of his strength, staggered back to his dragon couch, stared at the outside of Changle Palace with wide eyes, and was stunned.

The scenes of forty-five years of this life began to flash in front of him.

Yongle Fang, Wei Wangfu.

Dong Cheng sat opposite His Royal Highness King Wei.

His Royal Highness King Wei's face was ugly, and he asked, "Father, what's wrong with him?" ”

Dong Cheng bowed his head and said: "Back to His Royal Highness, only the godfather in the entire palace is serving the Son of Heaven, and no one knows what happened to His Majesty at present, but according to the slave maid, His Majesty's dragon has returned to heaven, that is, these two days."

King Wei was silent for a long time, and finally asked in a hissing voice, "Is it reliable?" ”

Dong Cheng knelt on the ground, kowtowed, and said, "How dare a slave and maid laugh with such a thing?" ”

King Wei hesitated for a long time, turned his head to look at Li Xin, and asked, "Brother Xin, do I want to go to the palace?" ”

Li Xin was silent for a while, then shook his head and said: "It's better not to, now that the crown prince is powerful, we can only pretend that we don't know anything, and when Your Majesty really collapses and the bell rings in the palace, Your Highness will enter the palace." ”

"When will you do it?"

Li Xin's voice was firm: "We must do it before Your Majesty's death, otherwise even if you succeed, Your Highness will have a bad reputation for the rest of your life, as long as Your Majesty is still there, you can correct Your Highness and abolish the prince." ”

"If, as Grandpa Dong said, we'd better do it as soon as possible, the sooner the better."

His Royal Highness King Wei took a deep breath.

"When is the fastest?"

"Tomorrow night."

Li Xin bowed his head and said: "Before coming, I have checked the time when Yulinwei is on duty at the palace gate, tomorrow evening, it is Yulinwei's left battalion on duty at Yong'anmen, at that time, the outer city of the palace city is no obstacle for us, as long as we break the inner city, the throne can be expected." ”

Speaking of this, after Li Xin paused, he gritted his teeth and said: "The East Palace is in the inner city, after we break the inner city, don't disturb Your Majesty, first go straight to the East Palace, kill the prince, and then go to your Majesty to say goodbye!" ”

His Royal Highness King Wei breathed heavily.

It took an unknown amount of time before he made up his mind and said, "Okay, that's it." ”

He wasn't very loud, but he was resolute.

Li Xin said: "I'll go to the Ye family later, contact Chen Guogong, His Royal Highness will also start contacting the forces in Beijing, although we are in a hurry this time, but we can't be out of order, we must be in a hurry and not chaotic." ”

Speaking of this, Li Xin paused and then continued: "The unusable people in Yulin Wei, Hou Jingde and I have already selected them, and His Royal Highness sent someone to send a letter to Hou Jingde, asking him to prepare the selection of personnel. ”

His Royal Highness King Wei stood up, gritted his teeth and said, "Just do what Brother Xin said." ”

Li Xin turned his head and glanced at Dong Cheng, the eunuch of Tianmu Prison, and asked, "Gonggong Dong, tomorrow night, is there a problem with arson in the palace?" ”

Now, there is still the possibility of Dong Cheng refusing, he shook his head and said, "There is no problem." ”

"Okay."

Li Xin stood up and arched his hand at the prince and Dong Cheng: "I'll go to the Ye family, Your Highness should also hurry up here, don't make any mistakes or omissions." ”

His Royal Highness King Wei also stood up and looked at Li Xin deeply.

"Brother Xin, the lives of the people of the Wei Palace, please entrust it to you."

Li Xin shook his head and said: "It is the lives of many people in the capital, please entrust it to Your Highness." ”

With that, Li Xin got up and left the Wei Palace.

The night of this day was as dark as ink.
