Unparalleled Concubine

   Chapter 399 Blood is thicker than water

  Before the official tearing of the face, it is still necessary to win over. For example, the Zheng family of Xingyang, if these noble families can be persuaded to give up the Pingnan Marquis Mansion, then Li Xin and Taikang Emperor will have a lot more preparation time.

   As for whether the post-autumn period is counted, that is the matter of the Emperor Taikang, and has nothing to do with Li Xin.

Zheng Gui did not answer in a hurry, but lowered his head and took a sip of tea and whispered: "Marquis Jing'an, originally your Majesty called me, this old man is going to enter the palace to face the Holy Spirit anyway, but after all, this old man is old, and his body is a little uncomfortable. It’s too comfortable, and I’ve caught the wind and cold recently, so I’m afraid that it will be contaminated to Your Majesty, so please ask the Marquis of Jing’an to tell it on your behalf, saying that I will go to the palace to face the Holy Spirit when the old man’s illness is better.”

   "Wind and cold..."

   Li Xin tapped the table lightly, and said indifferently: "Mr. Zheng is getting old, and this cold may kill him."

   Zheng Gui said with a smile: "Having lived for more than sixty years is considered a long life. Even if I die now, it is enough."

  Li Xin did not reply.

   At this moment, he actually wanted to say that your conspiracy has been seen through by Lao Tzu, and then frightened these two guys to the ground, but this is useless.

  Li Xin took a sip of tea slowly.

   Then he stood up and smiled lightly: "This time, the Marquis is here to show his goodwill on behalf of His Majesty. Since you Northern Zhou clans don't know what's good or bad, then you can only bear the consequences."

   said, Li Xin glanced at Li Shen lightly.

   "Li Shangshu, I don't have much time left for this marquis."

  Li Shen also stood up, turned around and bowed to Zheng Gui: "My father-in-law will sit here for a while, and the youngest son-in-law will go to see the Marquis of Jing'an."

   Zheng Gui waved his hand.

   "Jinchen will go by himself, don't pay attention to this lousy old man."

   Li Shen walked in front of Li Xin, with an indifferent smile on his face.

   "Jing'an Hou please."

   Li Xin folded his hands in his front sleeves and walked behind Li Shen.

   "You went back to Yongzhou to build a grave for your mother?"

When    was halfway through, Li Shen suddenly asked this sentence out of nowhere.

  Li Xin was expressionless: "It's none of your business."

General    Zhuguo stopped and looked back at Li Xin.

   "You are young, and you gained power early. It's normal to be arrogant, but you have to remember one thing, treat people with humility, and you will less offend many people."

   A mocking smile appeared on Li Xin's face.

   "The general has misunderstood. The marquis treats people very politely on weekdays. This is the way he only looks when facing the general."

  Li Shen shook his head and continued to walk forward without saying anything.

   "What do you think of the current situation in the capital?"

  Li Xin was expressionless: "You're going to die."

   "If Nanjiang starts, you will die immediately. If Nanjiang doesn't start, you will still die in a few years. Li Yan has no brains and can't preside over Nanjiang."

   "What about the waste prince you deliberately released from Beijing?"

  Li Shen walked under a pavilion and sat down very naturally, with a faint smile on his face.

"You were right. Without this abolished prince, I would most likely die in the capital. When the new emperor takes a firm seat, he will go to the southern border to seek revenge on Li Yan, and the southern border will not last long. No matter what, it will be a death. Bureau."

Having said this, Li Yan laughed and said: "It's just that a eldest prince suddenly escaped into my hands, and I sent him to the southern border smoothly. Do you know that for more than half a year, with this First Prince, I have gathered a lot of the old Northern Zhou family, and now everything is ready, and I can do anything at any time to help the defunct prince restore."

   At this time, Li Xin had not revealed that he already knew the intentions of the Pingnan Houfu, which meant that Li Shen had taken the initiative to show off with him.

"and then?"

  Li Xin kept silent.

General    Zhuguo's face was calm.

   "I need your help."

   The slender Marquis of Pingnan lowered his voice: "Chun'er is gone, Li Shuo is still young and useless, you are also my son, you can also inherit the southern border."

   He said word by word.

   "As long as you help the eldest prince reset, the Li family is the most prominent family in the Jin Dynasty. With the talent of the eldest prince, after you inherit the Li family, you will definitely be able to take over the power in the future."

   "As long as you are willing to help, the current His Majesty will not be our opponent."

   Li Xin was originally expressionless, but after listening to this sentence, a playful smile appeared on his face.

   "The general wants me to let you out of Beijing?"

Li Shen nodded slowly: "I return to the southern border, and I will be able to fight back to the capital within half a year. Pei Jin is a die-hard loyalist of the late emperor. With the title of the eldest prince, the Imperial Army will not fight to the death with us. You There is also Yulinwei under his command, as long as you are willing to cooperate, after six months, the throne will be replaced."

   The smile on Li Xin's face grew even stronger.

   "Then I will go to your Li's house and be your son?"

   Li Shen's face was calm: "At that time, if you don't like me, I can die."

"what!"

   Li Xin finally laughed.

   "I'm afraid that when the time comes, this sentence must 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 so determined to help the new emperor, does he really trust you?"

   "Only the Li family can trust you."

   Li Xin smiled sarcastically: "So far, none of your Li family members are pleasing to the eye, you tell me this?"

   said, Li Xin suddenly remembered something.

   "Oh yes, your son named Li Shuo is not bad, he knows a little bit of etiquette, unlike Li Chun, who looks like a silly roe deer."

   Li Shen remained calm, stretched out his hand from his sleeve, and took out a piece of jade pendant. The jade pendant was reassembled, and there were obvious signs of shattering.

   There was even a piece or two missing.

On the    jade pendant, you can vaguely see the word "Serious".

   "At the beginning, you dropped this piece of jade, and I found someone to repair it, and I kept it with me all the time."

Li Shen was silent for a while, 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 find her because my father was seriously ill at that time, and I was stumped by matters in Southern Xinjiang. It has been several years since he inherited the position of Marquis of Pingnan."

   "I thought she was married."

   "I'm sorry for you mother and son about this, 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 in that situation, I want to protect the Li family."

   "For me, the Li family is more important than a son, and more important than myself."

   "Last year 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, and Li Shuo is not as good as you. If you work with me, your family can only be yours in the future."

   Li Xin took a deep look at Li Shen with a mocking smile on his face.

   "What if I ask you to kneel and kowtow to my mother?"

"I can go."

  Li Shen's face was calm: "As long as I leave Beijing, I will go to Yongzhou to kowtow in front of your mother's spirit and confess my guilt. If you are not satisfied, I can kill myself at her grave when Ping Nanjun is saved."

   The smile on Li Xin's face subsided.

   "What a ruthless general of the Zhuguo."

   he muttered to himself.

   "If it was last year and you talked to me like that, I might have nodded in agreement."

   "But it's different now."

  Jing An Hou showed a faint smile on his face.

   "Now, I like to hold the knife in my own hands. Even if I don't have a knife, I won't wait to inherit someone else's knife."

  Li Xin left with his hands behind his back.

   "I forgot to tell the general. Probably the day after tomorrow, Pei Jin will be promoted to the governor's office as the right governor."

  Li Xin stopped and pointed to his nose: "And I will be one of the two generals of the Imperial Army."

  Jing An Hou Ye smiled brightly.

   "Is it a bad feeling to lose hope?"

   "The year before last, there was a young man named Li Xin who came to the capital after a lot of hard work, after his hopes were dashed."

   "It's also very uncomfortable."
