Chapter 254: Clean up the mess
Li Shen was fourteen years ago, that is, when he was four years old in Chengde, he rushed from the capital to southern Xinjiang to succeed Pingnanhou, and before that, he had been in the capital, playing the role of Li Chun.
Four years before Chengde, the Pingnan Army had always been the head of the old marquis Li Zhijie, and his son Li Yan was assisted, which means that Li Yan had been in contact with the battle formation and the Pingnan Army for much longer than Li Shen.
This current soldier can't catch up with Li Shen in terms of political wisdom, but he is indeed stronger than Li Shen in commanding troops to fight.
After hearing Li Shen say this, Li Xin closed his eyes and sorted out the matter back and forth, and after a long time, Li Xin slowly walked to the opposite side of Li Shen and sat down on his own.
"After thinking about this, I still can't understand why you came back."
Li Xin said in a deep voice: "At this time, there is no place for you in the capital, and it is impossible for you to go out if you return to Beijing now." ”
"You Li family, almost killed the emperor"
Li Xin sneered: "As long as the situation stabilizes a little, no matter whether you are sitting on the throne or not, you will be killed with a knife."
Li Shen glanced at Li Xin lightly.
"This is my Li family's own business, what will I do with Li Lang?"
"You think I'm caring about your Li family"
"Whether it's or not, the affairs of the Pingnan Hou Mansion don't need outsiders to worry about."
Li Shen's face was calm.
"It's not for you to ask a little general."
The two of them actually look very similar, and now Li Xinchang is a lot taller, and Li Shen is about the same height as Li Shen, and Li Shen looks like an elderly version of Li Xin.
It's just that these two people are destined to be enemies of each other in this life.
Everyone in the Pingnan Hou Mansion, even when Li Yan and Li Xin were talking, the rhythm was in Li Xin's hands, but only when facing this Pingnan Hou Li Shen, Li Xin had never had the upper hand.
Li Shen has never looked at Li Xin in his eyes, and with his status, he doesn't need to look at Li Xin in his eyes.
This time, Li Xin was going to say a few cool words in front of Li Shen, but he was choked and speechless by Li Shen's fluttering words.
There is still a little gap between the realm of the two people.
"Li Chun is dead, and the Pingnan Hou Mansion in the capital is in turmoil. Li Yan did stupid things in the capital again, and you were forced to be torn between the capital and southern Xinjiang, and you couldn't take care of both. ”
Li Xin smiled: "You can naturally pretend in Zhengyang Station now, and when you enter Beijing and are confined at home, see what else you have to turn the sky upside down."
This is him venting the resentment in his heart, or the resentment of another Li Xin.
The reason why Li Xin's "first half of his life" was so miserable, the reason why his uncle and mother died, and the calm and breezy Pingnanhou in front of him was the culprit, so even if Li Xin was no longer the same Li Xin, every time he faced Li Shen, there was still no way to calm down.
Li Shen Huoran stood up from the stool and glanced at Li Xin coldly.
"If you mention the word Li Chun again, I will be able to kill you in Zhengyang Post immediately, no one in the capital dares to say half a word, do you believe it or not"
Sending a white-haired person to a black-haired person is the most uncomfortable thing in the world, Li Chun is not in a thousand ways, but how to say that it is also the son that Li Shen has raised for 20 years, and his son is suddenly gone, and he is as cold as Li Shen, and he will inevitably be angry.
Li Xin closed his eyes and stopped talking to Li Shen.
He didn't want to die yet, at least not now.
Because the emperor asked Li Xin to take Li Shen back to Beijing together, Li Shen didn't go back, and Li Xin had no way to go back, so he could only sit in Zhengyang Post and wait.
It was already evening at this time, after waiting in the courtyard for a while, the sky was pressed, Li Shen looked up at the sky, and went straight to find a room in Zhengyang Post to rest, Li Xin snorted, took his Yu Linwei's waist card, found the post who was scared by the Pingnan Army, and also asked for a room.
God knows when Li Yan will be able to leave Beijing, and whether the Son of Heaven in Chengde will let him out of Beijing, this late autumn is cold, and Li Xin can't be allowed to sit in the courtyard and wait.
Zhengyangyi is a big post station close to the capital, the room is quite clean and tidy, Li Xin did not take off his clothes, just closed his eyes on the bed, carefully sorted out the causes and consequences in the capital, and slept in his clothes.
Sure enough, Li Yan couldn't get out of the capital all night.
It wasn't until the afternoon of the next day, on the official road in front of Zhengyangyi, that I vaguely saw a few horses coming from the capital, and after the horses gradually approached, I saw that the second master of the Li family, Li Yan, the squire of the military department, sat on it.
Li Shen, who was dressed in black, went out to greet him in person.
Li Yan, a big man who was also dressed in black, almost "rolled" off the horse, and then knelt directly on the ground and kowtowed to Li Shen.
"Big brother, Li Yan can't live with you"
He kept prostrating his head and burst into tears.
Li Shen strained his hands, dragged Li Yan, and shouted in a low voice: "Get up"
Li Yan reluctantly stood up and wept: "Big brother, Li Yan did something wrong in the capital, killed the little marquis, and forced the eldest brother to come over from southern Xinjiang, committed a serious crime, and the eldest brother killed me."
Li Shen snorted angrily, reached out and pulled Li Yan's collar and carried him into a tent.
Li Yan was very tall, half a head taller than Li Shen, but Li Shen carried him, he naturally didn't dare to resist, and was carried into the camp tent like a chicken, which looked a little funny.
After entering the camp tent, Li Shen turned around and said in a deep voice to his guards: "Guard at the door, and those who enter within fifty steps will be killed."
In the tent, Li Yan bowed his head and said, "Big brother"
"Don't cry"
Li Shen said in a low voice: "I came to the capital to fish you out, but I didn't come to listen to you cry."
"You hear me clearly."
The general of the Zhu State had a heavy voice: "This time, I brought a thousand personal guards, all of them were deployed near Zhengyangyi, everyone has prepared horses, and you will take them back to Jincheng in Shu County immediately, so that you can take care of the Pingnan Army."
Li Yan's eyes widened: "Brother, why did I take it, could it be that you really want to go to Beijing?"
"Can I do it if I don't go?"
Li Shen sneered: "I arrived at Zhengyangyi three days ago, and I sent a letter to His Majesty at that time, asking you to come out, but he has been delaying until now before he is willing to release people, and he has delayed for three days, since he is willing to let you come now, most of them have faintly surrounded Zhengyangyi, if I go south with you, none of us can leave"
Aunt Li Yan bowed her head deeply.
"This time I'm dragging my brother down."
Li Shen glanced at Li Yan coldly: "I know everything you did in the capital, do you know where you are wrong?"
Li Yan was embarrassed to himself: "The little brother shouldn't rashly attack Ji Man, so that he completely annoyed the Ji family." ”
Li Shen smiled: "If you can really kill him, you didn't do anything wrong, but he survived."
"If you don't have complete certainty, that's your biggest mistake."
"The little brother knows that he is wrong."
Li Shen took a few deep breaths and said in a deep voice: "Wait a minute, you will take these people back to Southern Xinjiang immediately, as long as you can return to Nanjing, there will be room for your brother to move in the capital, the capital is now unstable, I may not have no chance to get out." ”
"If you can't go back to southern Xinjiang, I will die in the capital, understand?"
Li Yan gritted his teeth: "Why should the eldest brother take risks again, let's go back to southern Xinjiang together."
Li Shen glanced at Li Yan coldly.
"If I don't go to the capital, who will clean up this mess"
