Chapter 319: The night is dark and the wind is high

Although Li Shen's proposal made Emperor Chengde very moved, it was a pity that Li Shen could not die in the current situation.

Li Yan is still alive, and the Pingnan Army in southern Xinjiang is still there. If Li Shen dies in the capital, 99% of the riots will occur in the south. This is the time when the state and dynasties are alternating. No one knows whether the new emperor can deal with the national war. Therefore, no matter what, Li Shen will not have any trouble.

The emperor took a deep breath and looked at Li Shen.

"If Li Yan was also in the capital, you would naturally have to be buried with him!"

Li Shen knelt speechlessly.

Having said that, I have already said it all.

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

"Chen Ju."

The eunuch Chen Ju took a few steps forward and respectfully knelt on the ground: "I am here."

"Take Li Shen to the forbidden room, lock it up, and let him out after the matter is settled."

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

Li Shen lowered his head and said sincerely: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I have no intention of interfering in the change of the country. In the past few months, the capital city is in a state of chaos, and I have not left my door and turned a blind eye to it, and dare not interfere in it."

The emperor glanced at Li Shen indifferently, and then smiled.

"You didn't interfere, your illegitimate son was very happy in it, and he almost became the protagonist of this battle!"

Li Shen lowered his head and finally said slowly: "Your Majesty, that Li Xin is not my son."

The emperor glanced at Li Shen lightly: "Then do you have any other sons in southern Xinjiang?"

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

The emperor sneered: "Li Zhijie's lifelong life, but when he arrived at you, he stopped the incense?"

Li Shen shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, the Li family has been daring to stalemate with the court until today. It has never been for the glory and wealth of his own family, but only for the peace of mind of the Pingnan Army."

"You have become saints instead!"

The emperor said coldly: "Then Li Xin has a deep hatred with you. If he stands at the forefront of this battle, he will definitely deal with the Li family to the end in the future. Then let's see how many years your Pingnan Army can support you!"

Li Shen lowered his head and said, "The founding of the country for more than a hundred years, and no one can defeat His Majesty."

What Li Shen said was that the new emperor could not beat His Majesty.

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

The emperor arranged Li Xin in the Yulin Guard, and stood at the height of Li Shen, and could see the intention at a glance. He allowed the King of Wei to have military power but not to make him the crown prince. He simply wanted to force out a new emperor who used force.

The King of Wei was quite weak in nature. If he could pass this level, it would be of great benefit to him.

The emperor said indifferently: "This is not something you and I have to worry about. Whoever succeeds and fails, there is a new emperor in the Great Jin Dynasty. As long as it is my son, it is impossible to live with your Li family."

"Take him down."

Chen Ju lowered his head and should be.

Li Shen knelt down and kowtowed, saying tremblingly: "I would like to have a glass of wine."

The emperor frowned: "Give him wine."

Chen Ju hurriedly brought someone to a pot of wine. Li Shen got up and poured two glasses, one in his hand, and raised his glass to Emperor Chengde: "This cup is my respect for Your Majesty."

As he said that, he raised his head and drank it all.

The cup fell to the ground and broke in response to the sound. Li Shen's eyes were also slightly red, and he was obviously quite sad.

“Take it down.”

The emperor had no expression on his face: "This guy has good martial arts skills. Remember to lock him up and don't let him break free."

"I know."

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

After a while, he walked to the wine plate, looked at the remaining glass of wine on the plate, and after hesitating, he took it up.

The emperor sighed long.

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

After saying that, Emperor Chengde also raised his wine glass and drank it all in one gulp.

After drinking this glass of wine, the emperor seemed to have been drained and staggered back to his dragon couch, staring wide at the outside of Changle Palace, staring blankly.

Scenes of forty-five years in this life began to flash before him.

………………………………………………

Yonglefang, Wei Wang Mansion.

Dong Cheng sat opposite His Highness King Wei.

His Highness, the King of Wei, looked ugly and asked, "What's wrong with him, Father?"

Dong Cheng lowered his head and said, "Go back to Your Highness, there is only Godfather who serves the emperor in the whole palace. No one knows what happened to Your Majesty, but according to my servants, Your Majesty's Dragon Control Returns to Heaven, it's only been these two days..."

The King of Wei was silent for a long time, and finally asked with a hissing voice: "Is it reliable?"

Dong Cheng knelt on the ground and kowtowed, "How dare I joke with such things?"

The King of Wei hesitated for a long time, turned 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 do it anymore. Now the prince is powerful, so we can only pretend to know nothing. When Your Majesty really collapses and the bell rings in the palace, your Highness will be able to enter the palace."

"Then...when will we do it?"

Li Xin's voice was firm: "You must take action before Your Majesty's lifetime, otherwise even if you succeed, Your Highness will have a bad reputation forever. As long as Your Majesty is still here, you can give Your Highness a legitimate name and depose the prince."

"If it's as Eunuch Dong said, we'd better do it as soon as possible, the faster the better."

His Highness the King of Wei took a deep breath.

"When is the fastest?"

“Tomorrow night.”

Li Xin lowered his head and said, "Before coming, I had checked the time when the Yulin Guard rotates to the palace gate. Tomorrow evening, the Yulin Guard left wing will rotate to the Yong'an Gate. At that time, the outer city of the palace is not accessible to us. As long as we break the inner city, the throne is expected."

Speaking of this, Li Xin paused and 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, rush to the East Palace, kill the prince, and then pay your respects to Your Majesty!"

His Highness, King of Wei, breathed rapidly.

After a while, he made up his mind and said, "Okay, that's it."

His voice was not very loud, but he was very determined.

Li Xin said, "I will go to the Ye family in a while and contact Duke Chen. Your Highness will also start to contact the forces in Beijing. Although our actions are hasty this time, we cannot be out of order. We must be anxious and not messy."

Speaking of this, Li Xin paused and continued, "Hou Jingde and I have already selected the unused people in the Yulin Guard. Your Highness sent someone to send a message to Hou Jingde to prepare him for the selection of personnel."

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

Li Xin turned his head to look at the eunuch Dong Cheng, Tianmuguan, and asked, "Eunuch Dong, will you set fire in the palace tomorrow night? Are there any problems?"

Now that things are coming, there is still a possibility of Dong Cheng refusing. He shook his head and said, "No problem."

"good."

Li Xin stood up and bowed to the prince and Dong Cheng: "I'll go to the Ye family now. Your Highness must seize the time and not have any mistakes."

His Highness King of Wei also stood up and bowed deeply to Li Xin.

"Brother Xin, I'll give you my life to the Lord Wei's Mansion."

Li Xin shook his head and said, "It is the lives of many families in the capital. Please give it to Your Highness."

After saying that, Li Xin got up and left the Wei Prince's Mansion.
