The disparity in power between the two sides is still obvious.

The Pingnan Marquis Mansion wanted to assassinate the Son of Heaven, and he tried his best to use all his means, and in the end he only barely injured the emperor, but the emperor wanted to kill the prince of the Pingnan Marquis Mansion, and he only needed one sentence.

No one knows how many emperors there are in the Pingnan Marquis's mansion.

Chengde Tianzi's face was cold, and he didn't feel the slightest joy in his heart for killing Li Chun.

For him, the life and death of the prince of the Pingnan Hou Mansion is just a trivial matter, if it weren't for this trivial matter that could hurt Pingnan Hou Li Shen, the Son of Heaven would not be too lazy to do it.

He frowned, endured the pain on his body, and whispered to the big eunuch beside him, "How many people have we buried in Shu County?" ”

Chen Ju lowered his head and said respectfully, "Shu County is very well guarded, and it is far from being as easy as the Pingnan Hou Mansion in the capital to send people in, but from the first emperor to the present, there are many of us in Shu County." ”

Chengde Tianzi's face was indifferent, "Send an order, let them carefully check whether Li Shen has any other illegitimate children in southern Xinjiang, and if so, let them kill all these illegitimate children, and don't leave any of them." ”

Chen Ju looked up at the Son of Heaven, bowed his head and said, "Your Majesty, Li Shen is in southern Xinjiang, and there seems to be no other outer mansion......"

Chengde Tianzi "ho ho" sneered.

"He has a lot of things to hide from me, before Li Xin entered Beijing, who knew that Li Shen still had such a son?"

"Go and investigate, thoroughly investigate, I want to make the Pingnan Hou Mansion the heir!"

Chen Ju nodded, turned around and was about to go down to do something, Chengde Tianzi squinted his eyes, and hissed, "Send a message to Southern Xinjiang, and let Li Shen come back to mourn his son!" ”

Chen Ju wiped the sweat from his forehead and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, the Pingnan Hou Mansion has not yet issued a notice, let's send a letter to Southern Xinjiang at this time, right...... Too early? ”

"It's to be earlier than Pingnanhou Mansion!"

The Son of Heaven of Chengde said hatefully, "Let the post station be sent to southern Xinjiang for 600 miles urgently, and be sure to send it to Li Shen before the letter from the Pingnan Hou Mansion, I just want to tell him clearly that his son was killed by me!" ”

At this time, the Chengde Heavenly Son had a bit of a crazy taste.

In the past, this Son of Heaven has always been a Ming monarch who rules the world with benevolence and virtue, just like his era name, he inherited Tiande, and Chengde Tianzi treated people and things, and he was quite kind.

At the end of last year, Li Xin wrote a big-character poster to scold him, but he was not very angry.

But now, after this assassination, Chengde Tianzi's style of doing things has become much more violent.

The dying beast is the most terrifying.

Chen Ju was also frightened by the anger of the Son of Heaven, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed, and said in a trembling voice, "Old slave, let's do it." ”

………………

On the second day, the Pingnan Hou Mansion hung up the white flags.

At this time, people take the funeral very seriously, no matter how sad they are, they still have to have the funeral that should be there, otherwise there is no way to let the deceased go into the ground.

Funeral stickers were soon sent all over the capital.

Li Xin, who lives in the princess's mansion, although he is not qualified to receive the funeral post from the Pingnan Hou Mansion, he soon has a copy in his hand.

It was sent by the Seventh Prince.

The two of them sat together, staring at the funeral stickers sent by the Pingnan Hou Mansion, and they all looked strange.

Li Xin coughed slowly and said, "Is he really dead or faked?" ”

Now that the conflict between the Marquis of Pingnan and the emperor has reached the point of irreconcilability, it is entirely possible for Li Chun to cheat to death and get out of the capital at this time.

"It's not clear."

His Royal Highness the King of Wei said slowly, "I heard that Mrs. Yu cried to death several times, and the people in the Pingnan Marquis Mansion also spread the news that there was a big pool of blood in the courtyard, but the more real this kind of thing is, the more likely it is to cheat death." ”

"It is possible that the Pingnan Hou Mansion wants to send this prince out of the capital."

Li Xin nodded and coughed, "At this time, the people of the Pingnan Hou Mansion have done everything, His Royal Highness has sent more people to keep an eye on them, and it is best to pay attention to the movements of the Tianmu Prison." ”

"If Tianmu Jian is staring at the Pingnan Hou Mansion for the past few days, then there is a great possibility that Li Chun will die by fraud."

His Royal Highness King Wei nodded and said, "I will pay attention to it these days, but at this time, if the Li family wants to get out by fraud, it will be too much to look down on the court, I estimate that if they are fraudulently killed, then the coffin will not be able to leave the capital, and they will be stopped and open the coffin." ”

"When the time comes, Li Chun will not die, but he will also die."

When the two of them were discussing the affairs of the Pingnan Hou Mansion, the ninth princess Ji Lingxiu walked in with a pot of tea and a little nervous.

"Seventh brother, the grand duke is here......"

She turned her head to look at Li Xin.

"The Grand Duke wants to see you two."

His Royal Highness King Wei frowned and asked, "Is he going to see the two of us?" ”

The Ninth Princess nodded, "I'm waiting outside the courtyard now..."

In fact, Chen Ju's power is more powerful than any prince in the capital, even if the seventh prince and the ninth princess are tied together, it is not as powerful as Chen Ju, but because the two of them are the blood of the Son of Heaven, Chen Ju is just a slave of the Son of Heaven, no matter how much the power of the two sides is different, Chen Ju must maintain respect for the prince and the princess.

That's why he waited at the door.

His Royal Highness King Wei stood up from his chair, turned his head to Li Xin on the side and said, "Brother Xin'er has an injury, just wait here, I will go and welcome the Grand Duke in." ”

Li Xin's health was indeed not very good at this time, and he immediately smiled bitterly, "Your Highness Lao." ”

The Seventh Prince strode to the gate of the courtyard, and said to Chen Ju at the door, "Grand Duke." ”

Chen Ju bowed his head respectfully, "The old slave has seen His Royal Highness the King of Wei. ”

The Seventh Prince smiled reluctantly, "How does the Grand Duke know that Xiao Wang is here?" ”

Chen Ju raised his head, glanced at King Wei lightly, and then smiled indifferently, "Tianmu Prison's eyeliner is all over the capital, and it is not strange to know that His Highness is here." ”

His Royal Highness King Wei was suddenly shocked in his heart.

Not long ago, he also used his handle to hold the eunuch Dong Cheng of Tianmu Prison hostage and "control" Tianmu Prison, at that time the Seven Princes were quite proud of this, and later under the persuasion of Li Xin, he took the initiative to give up Tianmu Prison.

Now, this grand duke took the initiative to mention the Tianmu Prison, and I don't know if there is any metaphor behind the scenes...

He felt a little weak in his heart, and immediately lowered his head and smiled, "The Grand Duke wants to see Xiao Wang and Li Xin?" ”

Chen Ju nodded and said, "Your Majesty has a message for you." ”

His Royal Highness King Wei looked solemn, and stretched out his hand to falsely lead, "Li Xin is in the courtyard, the Grand Duke, please come in." ”

After entering the courtyard, Li Xin, who was originally sitting, also stood up and smiled bitterly at Chen Ju, "Grand Duke, if you are injured in your humble position, you will not salute." ”

Li Xin was slashed in the back by the leader of the assassins, and although he did not hurt his muscles and bones, his two arms were still difficult to move at this time, and it was difficult to salute.

Chen Ju's face was calm: "Li Lang will not have to be polite. ”

Li Xin shook his head, "The Grand Duke laughed, he made such a big mistake in his humble position, where is there still a general." ”

Chen Ju's voice was calm, "Yu Linwei is His Majesty's pro-army, without His Majesty's will, who would dare to dismiss your position?" ”

Indeed, Yu Linwei is the leader of the Son of Heaven, and the imperial court has no power to interfere with Yu Linwei's position, and there is no half word in the will of the Son of Heaven in Chengde to mention Li Xin, which means that he is currently Yu Linwei's right general.

Li Xin bowed his head and said, "Thank you, Grand Duke, may I ask what is the matter with the Grand Duke?" ”

"Come and pass on your majesty's message."

It seems that the emperor's judgment on himself has come.

Li Xin took a deep breath and was about to kneel down to receive the order.

Chen Ju shook his head and said, "You have an injury on your body, just stand and listen." ”

Li Xin and the Seven Princes both stood with their hands down, their faces respectful.

Chen Ju's face became serious.

"I suddenly heard that the prince of Pingnan Houfu died violently, I was quite sad, Pingnan Hou Li Shen is like my siblings, and his son died like my son died, but he was sick and couldn't go in person, so he was killed..."

Speaking of this, Chen Ju glanced up at Li Xin, and then continued.

"Order the emperor's seventh son, Ji Wen, Yulin Weiyoulang, and Li Xin, go to Pingnanhou Mansion on behalf of me, and hang the prince of Pingnanhou Mansion."
