After Li Yan met the saint, he soon surrendered the imperial edict and appointed him as the deputy general of the Pingnan Army and became the right assistant minister of the Ministry of War.

He privately participated in Li Xin's document, but Emperor Chengde did not make it public. The court was calm and as if nothing had happened.

Emperor Chengde did not make any noise, and Li Yan was very sensible and did not continue to sue. After all, the person involved, Li Xin, is not in the capital now, and it will be useless to make trouble now.

If the Pingnan Marquis's attitude towards Li Xin before, it can be said that he ignored Li Xin, but after Li Yan wrote a letter, the Pingnan Marquis's Mansion completely turned against Li Xin, and both sides became enemies who would never stop.

The reason why this is happening is actually because of two things.

Li Xin hated Li Chun for tying Zhong Xiaoxiao, so he turned against Pingnan Marquis' Mansion, while Li Shen was angry that Li Xin planned to plot against the Li family.

Li Shen and Li Xin agreed on the pension list. Both of them were consistent in this matter, but Li Xin actually used this matter privately and put it on the Li family, which made Li Shen, who was the general of the Pillar Kingdom, quite angry.

That's why Li Yan's return to Beijing was followed.

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

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

In the side hall of Changle Palace, the King of Wei knelt on the ground, holding Li Yan's letter in his hand, sweating in cold sweat.

"Father, this"

Emperor Chengde said with a blank expression: "This is a memorial Li Yan started to give me. During the period when he was involved in the military commander of Li Xin, he colluded with the gangsters in southern Xinjiang. Do you know this?"

The seventh prince smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Father, Li Xin is just a captain of the Yulin Guard. Although he has one or two hundred people under his command, he only has the power to command the military but does not have the power to transfer military power. How can such a sesame-sized military officer be qualified to collude with the bandits in southern Xinjiang? This must be because of the last incident, the Li family held a grudge against Li Xin, so they wrote a letter to retaliate. The father clearly understands that he should not be deceived."

If you want to understand foreign countries, the minimum condition is to have a high position and power. Otherwise, it cannot be called collusion, but to surrender. The remnants of southern Xinjiang have now become like this, and Li Xin has no reason to surrender to them.

Emperor Chengde had a blank expression: "Li Xin naturally has no right to collude with those rebels, but there are people behind Li Xin."

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

His Highness, His Highness, changed his face, and he knelt down and kowtowed: "Father, I must not dare!"

"My sons serve the king and the father have always been sincere and dare not have any bad thoughts. Besides, the remnants of Southern Shu are not as good as those of Pingnan Army. Even if they have some thoughts that should not have, they will not look for such autumn grasshoppers..."

The seventh prince kowtowed and said, "Father, what did Li Xin do in southern Xinjiang? I don't know anything about my subjects at all. Please tell me your father!"

Emperor Chengde nodded faintly and said, "I also think you don't know about this, but Chen Ju went to investigate yesterday. Li Xin was indeed following a Shu person, who was following him after he came back from southern Xinjiang."

"Do you know this person?"

The seventh prince shook his head and said, "For the past few months, my son has been busy making wine and has neglected a lot of miscellaneous things..."

His Majesty the Emperor stretched out his finger and gently tapped the table, frowned and said, "If what Li Yan said was true, this Li Xin had really met those evil people in the South Shu, guess what Li Xin wanted to do?"

The seventh prince lowered his head and said, "Li Xin once told his sons some stories. His mother gave birth to him before marriage. He has been dependent on his mother and son for more than ten years. Not only did he live a hard life, he was also insulted by the villagers. Therefore, he mostly... hated the Li family to the core, not to mention whether Li Xin had contact with the remnants of Nanshu. If he really had contact with them, he would probably want to find some breakthroughs from these people... "

Emperor Chengde nodded slowly and agreed with the Seventh Prince.

"It should be like this."

His Majesty the Emperor frowned and thought for a while, then looked up at Ji Wen and said, "Where is Li Xin now?"

His Highness, King of Wei, shook his head and said, "I don't know very well, but after calculating the itinerary, I should be on the way back to Beijing now. It's three to five days, and if it's slower, it's time to arrive in the capital in ten or half a month."

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

His Highness the King of Wei took a deep breath and said, "Son of yourselves obey your order."

The conversation between father and son seemed ordinary, but every mistake made every sentence was enough to make Li Xin die without a place to die.

As long as the Seventh Prince lets go, Li Xin may end up with the fall of the head.

After leaving the palace, His Highness the King of Wei was already sweating all behind.

To be honest, if Li Xin hadn't been too important to him now, he would never have spoken for Li Xin like this in front of the emperor. It might even be that when the emperor mentioned that Li Xin was in contact with southern Xinjiang, the seventh prince would have to set aside his relationship with Li Xin.

But now, Zhurong Wine has begun to bring huge benefits to the Wei Palace, and the pacification of southern Xinjiang will most likely fall into Li Xin's hands in the future. Li Xin is almost the biggest helper of the Wei Palace. In this case, His Highness, the King of Wei, gritted his teeth and forced Li Xin to protect him.

After leaving the palace, he was still very scared.

In the situation just now, as long as Emperor Chengde is a little bit stupid, it is almost impossible to remove his crime of collusion with a rebel. Fortunately, Emperor Chengde is wise enough to distinguish right from wrong.

This feeling of placing your life and life in a single thought in others makes Ji Wen feel uncomfortable.

After returning to the Wei Palace, the Seventh Prince collapsed on the main seat. After drinking several cups of tea, he reluctantly calmed down and waved his hand to call a servant and said, "You can set off now and go north to find the team of Li Xin and Li's Captain Li, and then come back to tell me when he will be able to return to the capital."

The servant bowed and bowed: "The villain is obeying the order."

"Remember to get the exact time, I must know when he will return to the capital."

"yes."

On that night, His Highness of the King of Wei suffered from insomnia. Emperor Chengde's words were like nightmare, which made him feel a little worried about gains and losses. Once he closed his eyes, he would think of some bad things.

Until the dawn, he did not recover.

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

His Highness, the King of Wei, was closing his eyes to rest, but when he heard this, his eyes were covered with bloodshot.
