The army stationed in the southern border of the Great Jin Dynasty was named Pingnan Army. It was the first Marquis of Pingnan Li Zhijie who led this army to break through the capital of Southern Shu and incorporate the territory of Southern Shu into the territory of the Great Jin Dynasty.

This is the credit for destroying the country.

A high degree of merit will shock the master. Logically speaking, the Li family of Pingnanhou should not have any good endings. But the fact is that the two generations of Pingnanhou of the Li family and the two generations of emperors of the Ji family are in peace. By the time of Li Shen's generation, they are closer. Therefore, the monarch and ministers were passed down as a good story by the government and the people.

However, there are not so many good stories in the world. The reason why the two families can be peaceful is that the Pingnan Army has long since stopped being surnamed the emperor.

The army reported to the court was 100,000 people, but only Li Shen, the Marquis of Pingnan, knew exactly how many people there were.

After the "two wars" Hou Pingnan, who had left the imperial city with fear, his legs stopped shaking. He led his dark horse at the gate of the palace. He bowed to Chen Ju, the eunuch who came to see him, and then got on the horse and walked towards Yonglefang.

Yonglefang is not far from the Imperial City, and Li Shen's horse is a rare and good horse. In less than a stick of incense, he arrived at the main gate of the Marquis of Pingnan.

Soon, the central gate of the Pingnan Marquis' Mansion opened wide, and Mrs. Yu walked in front and took the family to salute Li Shen.

"Welcome the Marquis back to the house."

Li Shen, who looked black and thin, waved his hand lightly: "Do what you should do."

As soon as he said this, the servants of the Pingnan Marquis' Mansion immediately dispersed, leaving only Madam Yu and Li Chun, the young Marquis. Li Shen glanced at his eldest son with a expressionless face.

Mrs. Yu stepped forward and pulled Li Shen's sleeve, and said with a smile: "The Marquis has worked hard all the way and hasn't eaten yet. After receiving the news, I asked my family to get a table of dishes that the Marquis liked to eat, waiting for the Marquis to come back."

Li Shen nodded lightly: "Since I came back, I'm really hungry."

Of course, I can't eat all the time when I drink with the emperor. In fact, in the conversation just now, the king and his minister were intrigue and tempted each other, and did not eat a few bites of food.

Mrs. Yu surrounded Li Shen and walked into the side hall where the Marquis of Pingnan Palace was eating. The side hall was filled with tables of dishes. After Mrs. Yu pulled Li Shen down, she smiled and said, "I have been waiting for the Marquis for a long time. Some of the dishes were cold. I will let them heat them up."

"No."

Li Shen sat down in the main seat and waved his hand: "In the army, it's good to have a bite of food. It doesn't matter whether it's hot or not. You all sit down and eat."

Li Shen arrived in the capital in the evening. It was already late at night when he came back from the palace. However, at this time, no one in the Pingnan Marquis' Mansion had dinner because he, the owner, did not eat, and no one below dared to move his chopsticks.

The little marquis Li Chun was so hungry that he had sat down when he heard this and picked up the chopsticks on the table.

At this time, Li Shen, who was burying his head to eat, raised his head and looked at Li Chun like a tiger: "Who asked you to eat?"

Li Chun was frightened and stood up quickly, looking at his father in confusion: "Dad..."

Li Shen continued to eat without raising his head: "Get out and kneel in the ancestral hall, and wait until I have some strength to deal with you."

Li Chun's face turned pale. He looked at his mother. Mrs. Yu married Li Shen for so many years and was the first time she saw her husband so angry. She quickly winked at her son and signaled Li Chun to go to the ancestral hall first.

After Li Chun left the side hall, Mrs. Yu squeezed out a smile, sat beside Li Shen, and asked, "Mr. Marquis, Chun'er has made you angry. If you tell me, I will definitely not be able to spare him."

Li Shen had been eating quickly in the military. He slowly put down the bowls and chopsticks in his hand, turned to glance at Mrs. Yu, and his voice was calm: "The son you gave birth to wants the lives of so many soldiers from all over the Li family and southern Xinjiang."

Mrs. Yu's face turned pale, and she said tremblingly: "Marty, Chun'er... has always been sensible, and he dare not do such things..."

Li Shen slowly stood up from the chair, then stepped on the chair, stomping the chair into pieces. Then he found the thickest piece of wood from the parts of the chair on the ground, carried the wood, and walked towards the Li family's ancestral hall.

Mrs. Yu was frightened silly. It was not until Li Shen walked out of the side hall that she hurriedly chased after her, and said sadly: "Marty...Marty..."

In the Li family ancestral hall, Li Chun, the young marquis, was kneeling in front of the Li family's ancestral tablet. Li Shen, the Marquis of Pingnan, held a thick piece of wood in his hand, with an indifferent expression.

"What have you done in the past few years since I was not in Beijing?"

Li Shen is a gentle person on weekdays. When he was in the capital, he treated his family in a kind manner. Although he was a little strict with Li Chun, he was not too overestimated.

This was the first time Li Chun was so angry when he saw Li Chun. The little marquis looked a little pale and said in a trembling voice: "Dad... the child didn't do anything..."

Li Chun squatted down in front of his son, his voice indifferently: "Before I left Beijing, have you ever told you that things in the capital are strictly prohibited. I told you to practice literature and martial arts at home, and wait until you go to southern Xinjiang in the future and take over my seat."

Li Chun's face was pale: "Dad, my child has studied hard, and his family's martial arts have not been lost."

Li Shen stood up and kicked his son hard in the stomach. The Pingnan Hou said in anger: "But you make friends with the prince!"

"Do you know, why can my Li family last for half a century?"

Li Chun was kicked by Li Shen and rolled around the ground. How could he speak? Li Shen swung out the wooden stick in his hand and accurately hit Li Chun's back.

"It's because my Li family never causes trouble!"

Since Li Zhijie, the Li family has never interfered in the battle for the throne, and has never taken any action to stand in the court.

Li Shen had a good relationship with the current Emperor Chengde because Emperor Chengde was the only prince of the late emperor and the only heir to the throne. Therefore, Li Shen followed Emperor Chengde to "play from childhood to adulthood" and has now become a good story for the monarch and ministers.

And the reason why this little marquis Li Chun has become a fourth prince is that he has some of the meaning of imitating his father.

However, Emperor Chengde today has more than one son.

The Li family is supporting troops outside. As long as they do not participate in the team, no matter which prince becomes the emperor in the future, they will have to continue to reuse the Li family. This was originally a "stable win" situation, but as long as they take the team, the 100% winning situation will only have one-quarter of the winning chances left.

For example, if the Pingnan Marquis' Mansion turns to the Fourth Prince Ji Huan, and the fourth prince fails to fight for the throne in the future, the new emperor will regard the Pingnan Marquis' Mansion as a thorn in his eyes. Even if he cannot deal with the Li family for a while, he will try every means to destroy the Li family.

The Li family didn't have to join the game.

After Li Shenyi's stick, his anger remained calm. He shouted: "Stand up."

Li Chun has practiced martial arts and is very strong. Most people will probably not be able to stand up after being beaten like this twice, but the little marquis stood up tremblingly with gritted teeth.

Li Shen waved the wooden stick in his hand and was about to beat it again.

At the entrance of the ancestral hall, Mrs. Yu rushed in, grabbed Li Shen's hand, and cried, "Marty, if you hit him again, you will be beaten to death..."

Li Shen looked at Mrs. Yu coldly: "Who asked you to come in?"

In the important part of the ancestral hall, only males are allowed to come in. Under normal circumstances, Mrs. Yu is not allowed to come in.

Mrs. Yu was covered in tears and cried, "Mr. Marquis, if you want to beat Chun'er, just beat me together..."

Mrs. Yu was born in the Zheng family and was a big family in the Great Jin Dynasty. She was quite influential in the court. On weekdays, Li Shen respected her like a guest.

But now, Li Shen still has no expression on his face.

"You plead for him, do you know what this beast has done?"

Li Shen was so angry that his body trembled: "His grandfather finally managed to operate southern Xinjiang into the current situation. As long as the remnants of Nanshu are unclear, our Li family will be rich and prosperous all day long, and the Pingnan Army can be safe and sound with the court!"

The Pingnan Hou Mansion has been guarding the southern border for more than 30 years. Over the past 30 years, the imperial court has wanted to replace the chief general of the Pingnan Army more than once, but often the imperial court's orders are still on the way, and the remnants of Nanshu will immediately start to cause trouble. Those new generals who fail to command the Pingnan Army can only leave sadly.

Some of them died in southern Xinjiang.

It seems that only the Li family can stabilize southern Xinjiang.

This is to raise the enemy and respect himself.

"But just because of this beast, he pushed the 100,000 troops in southern Xinjiang into danger!"

Li Shen looked at his son coldly and said sternly: "If you still have the surname Li, just stand here!"

Li Chun stood in front of Li Shen tremblingly, gritted his teeth at his mother and said, "Mother, don't ask..."

The stick in Li Shen's hand swung down mercilessly.

With a "click", the stick broke.

Li Chun's legs were also broken.

The young marquis of the Pingnan Marquis' Mansion was in so much pain that he was sweating coldly, but he gritted his teeth and said nothing.

Li Shen looked at his son coldly and his voice was cold: "Just because of your mischief, I was forced to go back to Beijing to deal with this matter. From today on, if I know what you have to do with any prince, I will beat you to death in this ancestral hall!"

Speaking of this, Li Shen looked at the mother and son coldly.

"A kind mother is a bad son. If you are more harsh on your daily basis, he will not be so stupid today!"

"Get out of here."

Mrs. Yu was covered in tears and called out a few servants, carrying Li Chun, who was gritting her teeth and refused to cry out in pain.

Li Shen found a cushion in the ancestral hall and knelt in front of the spiritual cards of the ancestors of the Li family.

He kowtowed respectfully to the tablet of his father Li Zhijie.
