Li Shen shouldn't have returned to Beijing at this time.

Because the Li family and the court had already reached the verge of turning against each other, when he returned to Beijing, the court was likely to use a knife and axe to kill him, and then turn against him. At that time, the southern border had no leader and was defeated by the court.

This is one of them.

The second is that if Li Shen entered the capital, no matter whether it was Emperor Chengde or the next new emperor, he would not be able to let the tiger go back to the mountain again. He would be locked in the capital and could not move.

At this time, there was no care from the Li family in southern Xinjiang. After a long time, he might not be loyal to the Li family again.

More importantly, Li Shen should have known the news that the emperor was seriously injured at this moment, and he should have watched the situation in the capital in southern Xinjiang and waited for the time being to move.

But, when he shouldn't have returned to Beijing, he came back.

After calculating the days, it was only 20 days before the emperor was assassinated. The capital was at least 3,000 miles away from Shu County. Even if the news was rushed to Shu County by 600 miles, the Marquis of Pingnan had just received the news and set off to return to the capital.

Almost no hesitation.

This is very puzzling.

The seventh prince lowered his head and did not rush to answer, but asked in a muffled voice: "Father, I'll ask, are you going to officially break up with the Li family now?"

If the emperor wants to turn against the Li family, then there is nothing to hesitate. After Li Shen enters Beijing, he should directly kill the rebel. However, if Emperor Chengde is unwilling to turn against Li Shen, then the court's attitude towards the Marquis of Pingnan should be carefully considered.

Emperor Chengde smiled indifferently: "Now you are me, it depends on you."

This will kill you.

As for today's physical condition, the Seventh Prince guessed some of the physical condition, but he could not let the emperor know that he knew. Although this was a bit difficult to say, there were often so many twists and turns in the court to survive.

Just like a stone scissors, you have to figure out other people’s thoughts layer by layer. If you think less than others, you may lose everything.

The seventh prince lowered his head and finally said in a deep voice: "Father, if the son minister makes a decision, he will not move Li Shen for the time being, but since he has come to the capital on his own initiative, he will not let him return to the southern border no matter what, and send some people to watch him tightly."

Emperor Chengde glanced at the Seventh Prince with a smile.

"The Marquis of Pingnan was plotting to assassinate me, and he was the envoy of Li Shen. He almost killed your father. Are you so kind to him?"

The seventh prince trembled all over and knelt down and said, "Father, Li Shen, this thief, I wish I could eat meat and sleep with my skin now! But I had said before that the country of Jin Dynasty would be more important than my personal grudges!"

Emperor Chengde's face turned cold and he stared at his son.

"If you kill Li Shen, my country and country in Jin will be in chaos?"

The seventh prince kowtowed and shed tears: "Father..."

"If you have something to say, don't wipe your tears at any time like those aunts."

The seventh prince choked and said, "If the father had decided to turn against the Pingnan Marquis' Mansion, he would not have released Li Yan from the Ministry of Justice. The father was kind and wise, so he would naturally not be wrong. The child was stupid and could only do things according to the father's wishes."

"Are you stupid?"

Emperor Chengde smiled and said, "You are not stupid at all. You are the most intelligent among the four princes in the capital. However, if the fourth brother is blinded by this throne, you are not as clear as you can see it."

With Chen Ju's support, the emperor barely stood up. After walking two struggling steps, he coughed a few more times.

"My Grand Jin's national strength is better than Shu County at this time. At this time, I turned against the Li family. As long as the Ye family or the Zong family sent someone to lead the charge, my Grand Jin will be victorious and not defeated. I can kill the Marquis of Pingnan and launch all large troops to attack southern borders, but I endured it!"

The emperor narrowed his eyes and looked at his son.

"You are so smart, guess why I have to endure this time?"

The seventh prince's forehead was covered in sweat, and he lowered his head and said, "My son is stupid, I can't guess..."

"I just said that you are not stupid at all."

After trying a few steps, the emperor felt pain under his ribs, so he sat back on the dragon couch with Chen Ju's support and slowly breathed: "Of course you guessed it, you just dare not say it."

At this point when the emperor said that, the seventh prince kneeling on the ground was already crying.

He cried with sincerity.

He also lived in the palace before he was sixteen years old. Emperor Chengde raised him with a song. Now his father is about to die. As long as he is not a beast, he will not cry too falsely.

The common people say that the Tian family is ruthless, that is nonsense. The Tian family is also human, who can have no feelings at all?

But for these people in the fame and fortune world, some things are heavier than feelings.

Seeing the seventh prince like this, the emperor frowned: "Okay, don't cry, I'm not dead yet."

The seventh prince looked up at his father with tears on his face.

"Father, I will tell you what I mean. I want to be the emperor, but I have a kind father and I am willing to wait for it. It doesn't matter how long it takes. At this time, the father... has become like this. I really wish I could kill the Li family completely!"

Born in the royal family, it is indeed heart-wrenching to be able to speak to this point.

The emperor was also a little moved and waved his hand to help the seventh prince up.

The emperor, who had been in charge of the Great Jin Dynasty for nearly twenty years, lowered his head and sighed: "You are much better than your third brother. Although you want to move the Li family, you can't stand it in order to prevent the court. Your third brother is not good. After he guessed who was doing this, he wanted to kill the Li family completely now."

His Highness the King of Wei lowered his head and cried: "The third brother is filial and sincere, far better than me."

"Lu Zhi is Lu Zhi, what kind of sincerity is not sincere?"

The emperor scolded: "There is no room for sincere people to accommodate in this court? You and that Li Xin are now getting along well, but are you sincere between you and him?"

At this time, Chen Ju handed a wet wipe to the Seventh Prince. The Seventh Prince wiped his tears and shook his head and said, "My son and he have their own thoughts."

"That's it. People like Chicheng Luzhi can't survive in this capital. In this capital, there are layers of relationships that are complicated, bustling with each other using calculations and clinging to each other, with countless circles and countless bonds."

Speaking of this, the emperor narrowed his eyes: "If you want to be an emperor in such an environment, it is completely impossible to rely on Lu Zhi alone. You must be able to focus on the overall situation and balance all parties. Only when those people cannot do anything to each other can the throne be firmly held."

This is the experience accumulated by Emperor Chengde after twenty years of being the emperor.

The seventh prince was excited and lowered his head and said, "My son remembers the teachings of his father."

The emperor seemed to have seen through the thoughts in the seventh prince's mind and shook his head and said, "You don't have to be too happy. I haven't decided to choose the crown prince yet. I've told you this, but I just sighed for a moment. You must remember these things carefully. No matter whether you become an emperor or not in the future, it will always be useful."

The seventh prince lowered his head and said, "My son remembers the Holy Tribe of the Father."

After seeing four princes in a row, the emperor was a little tired, and he waved his hand powerlessly.

"You go."

"By the itinerary, Li Shen should be able to arrive in the capital tomorrow. You... let Li Xin go and welcome him."

The Seventh Prince bowed his head respectfully.
