As Emperor Chengde said, Li Shen was a very difficult person to deal with.

After he was trapped in the capital and could not move, the Marquis of Pingnan did not sit idly by, but was actively operating.

Previously, Li Xin thought that the fourth prince was unwilling to accept the disaster, but after thinking about it carefully, he could figure it out that it was not that simple.

Although His Highness of Qi had a lot of connections in the officialdom, his connections in the officialdom were the most realistic. Once people left, they would be cold. In the past, the fourth prince was a "popular" in fighting for the throne, so naturally there were many people for him to persuade him. However, now that the dust in the capital has settled, those literati will no longer work hard for a royal family that has already been in the vassal state.

What's more, it's a serious crime to report disasters with such a lie.

Then, it is only possible that the Pingnan Marquis Mansion is taking action.

Li Xin looked at the emperor deeply and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, I just left the palace and saw the people from the Zheng clan of Xingyang, entering and leaving the Marquis of Pingnan."

The emperor was slightly moved, but he still didn't take it too seriously. He just smiled slightly: "It doesn't matter if you enter the capital, just don't let them out."

Li Xin shook his head and said, "I think of some very bad things."

The emperor pulled Li Xin, sat down next to the table beside him, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Chang'an, just talk slowly."

Li Xin sat down, closed his eyes and thought about it carefully, and opened his eyes and said, "Your Majesty, I suspect that the Marquis of Pingnan is going to take action first."

The emperor frowned.

"How can I see it?"

The voice of Jing'an Hou was strong and powerful: "Everyone reported disasters at the same time. If it was artificial, this influence could not be achieved by His Highness, the King of Qi, who had already become a vassal. It could only be the Li family of Zhaojun and Zheng family of Xingyang, which had a large number of local influences, behind the commander."

The emperor's expression gradually became solemn.

"How dare they bet on the Pingnan Marquis' Mansion?"

The reason why aristocratic families can last for thousands of years is not only because they have a family but have no country, but more importantly, they are "profit-oriented". This benefit is not just a small individual profit, but the interests of the entire family. For the interests of the family, people in the family can die without hesitation.

And they are very "snobbish".

Even if no one enters the officialdom, these aristocratic families will invest in poor families and use the method of fiddling with puppets to play with political affairs. At the same time, their means of avoiding disasters are also very clever. Once the family thinks that someone or matter will cause harm to the family, the family will be broken immediately and there will be no more relationship.

For example, in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, the Zheng family of Xingyang and the Li family of Zhaojun both had relatives with the Yuwen family of Northern Zhou, but after the demise of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, the two families drove out all the princesses and princesses of the Yuwen family. Among them, the Li family of Zhaojun was even more extraordinary. They not only killed these princesses of the Yuwen family, but also killed all the descendants of these princesses, saying that they wanted to "purify the bloodline of the Han family" to please the new owner of this land.

Therefore, in the eyes of Li Xin and Emperor Taikang, these aristocratic families did not dare to interfere in the battle between the Pingnan Marquis’ Mansion and the court. Even the Li family, the main line of the Pingnan Marquis’ Mansion, should have been separated from the Pingnan Marquis’ Mansion.

After all, if you separate, you will be two families.

Li Xin took a deep breath and continued, "I can't figure out this matter, but just now, I suddenly figured it out."

"Because the deposed prince."

Li Xin whispered: "With the deposed prince, they will not be considered rebellious, but they can have a reasonable reputation. At this time, if disasters continue in various places, they will raise an army under the pretext of His Majesty's loss of virtue. When the time comes, people will be panic and they will have the opportunity to succeed!"

"Once they succeed, they will praise the deposed prince for the throne of God. At that time, whether it is the Zheng family of Xingyang or the Li family of Zhaojun, they will wipe out the decline and become the two most prominent families in the Jin Dynasty!"

This is the hidden danger left behind when Emperor Taikang became a militant and ascended the throne.

This is the root of the disaster that laid down the deposed prince from leaving Beijing.

In fact, Li Xin also expected this, but he thought that even if Li Shen got the deposed prince, he would only passively defend. Unexpectedly, this Marquis of Pingnan was about to take action now.

The emperor was stunned.

"How dare they...?"

Li Xin took a deep breath and said, "I just thought about it. This may be their only chance. If they wait until Your Majesty completely grasps the government, then they are just waiting to die. Only at the moment when Your Majesty's foundation is unstable will they have a chance."

Emperor Taikang slapped the table hard.

"If Chen Ju hadn't let the eldest brother go!"

Li Xin shook his head and said, "Your Majesty should not get angry. The more we should pretend that we don't know anything."

"Don't alert the snake."

The emperor looked around and stood up and said, "It is not convenient to speak here. Brother Xin, let's go to the study to speak."

Li Xin stood up and said, "Yes."

The two walked to the emperor's study. Instead of sitting on the dragon chaise, the emperor pulled a chair and sat with Li Xin. He took a few deep breaths and calmed himself down.

"What I can't understand is that if Li Shen insists on taking action, then why would the people of Zheng from Xingyang go to the capital to fall into the trap?"

Li Xin thought for a while and said, "Maybe it is the head of the Zheng family, you need to confirm the situation in person."

"He is already old and it doesn't matter if he dies in the capital."

"What about Li Shen?"

The emperor said angrily: "Li Shenren is in the capital. What's the point of doing these things? He can't be the one who wants to make Li Yan's wedding dress, right?"

At this time, the new emperor felt a little panicked. For a moment, he even suspected that Li Shen wanted to conquer the Jing'an Marquis in front of him.

When Li Xin heard this question from Emperor Taikang, he thought of someone.

The young man who called himself his elder brother.

Li Xin took a deep breath and said slowly: "Your Majesty, what if Li Shen has other descendants in southern Xinjiang?"

Emperor Taikang looked at Li Xin calmly.

"What do you know, Brother Xin?"

Li Xin shook his head and said, "I don't know."

If Li Shuo had told the emperor earlier, there would be nothing, but if he hadn't said it earlier, he would never be able to talk about it at this time.

"I just guess that Li Shen has been in southern Xinjiang for more than ten years and he still has a general's mansion in southern Xinjiang. It is hard to guarantee that he will not hide a son. Judging from the actions of the Pingnan Marquis' Mansion, this is very likely."

Emperor Taikang fell silent. It took him a long time to look at Li Xin.

"Brother Xin, what should I do about this matter?"

"First of all, we can't hurry."

Li Xin whispered: "We just pretend that this matter is not known yet, and do whatever we should do. Don't disturb them. In addition, the inner guard, the Yulin guard and the Qianniu guard must ensure absolute loyalty to Your Majesty. As long as we completely control the capital, there is still a lot of room for us."

The emperor nodded his head.

"Brother Xin, you're right, what about that?"

"There is another point, the most critical point."

Li Xin said in a deep voice: "Before the people sent by the Ministry of Justice to investigate the disaster situation, Your Majesty must drive Pei Jin down and take the imperial guards completely in his hands!"
