Time Travel: I am the idle king Li Shen and Li Shimin in the Tang Dynasty

"Your Highness Prince Ji, isn't it a bit inappropriate for you to still be so cunning at this point?

And the reasons are far-fetched.”

Xiao Rui's face was gloomy. His father died because of Prince Ji, otherwise he might have lived a few more years.

"Yes, Your Majesty, His Royal Highness Prince Ji is clearly making excuses."

Li Shen smiled awkwardly.

"Haha, this excuse is not acceptable, right? Well... then I'll make up another one."

As he spoke, he began to think seriously.

This made everyone else stunned. Prince Ji had become such a rogue, but His Majesty was as steady as a rock and had no intention of caring about it at all.

"Got it. Didn't that guy just now say that I was colluding with the evil monk?

That’s right, this Xuanzang is indeed an evil monk, and he used his magic to make me say that sentence.

It is not my intention to deliberately frame you."

Li Shen suddenly slapped his thigh and said.

"What nonsense! Master Xuanzang is an enlightened monk who came back from India and has acquired great Buddhist teachings. How can he be a demon monk?"

Cui Renzhi retorted disdainfully.

"What you said is not right, how can people who come back from other countries be considered superior?

Do you mean that monks from outside can chant better than monks from our Tang Dynasty?

Or do you think that my great Tang Dynasty is not as powerful as India, a small country?"

Li Shen glared and put a big hat on him.

What he hated most in his life was people and dogs who worshipped foreign things.

As long as it is from outside, even if it is poop, it is fragrant, and we have to find all kinds of superiority for it.

Such people never think that they themselves are Chinese.

“Your Highness Prince Ji, Master Xuanzang is an enlightened monk. This is recognized by believers, not us.

I have not said that he is superior because he comes from another country.

It’s just that Master Xuanzang has a noble character, preaches the sutras to save people, and has profound Buddhist teachings.”

Cui Renzhi hurried to explain.

"What do you mean by profound Buddhism? Do you understand Buddhism?

How do you know this is not his disguise? Is it written on the face of a bad person that he is a bad person?

How many of you present here are loyal ministers, how many are treacherous ministers, and how many are harboring evil intentions?

You usually pretend to be righteous, but do dirty things behind the scenes?"

Li Shen had a look of disdain on his face.

Li Shen's words brought everyone in, making everyone present look unhappy.

But Li Shen didn't care at all.

“Your Highness Prince Ji, it doesn’t matter whether Xuanzang is an enlightened monk or not, and it doesn’t matter whether he came back from another country or not.

Now we are talking about your rebellion, Prince Ji.

His Royal Highness Prince Ji said that he was bewitched by an evil monk, but where did the evil monk come from at this time, and where were the monsters?

It's just a rumor, everyone present here are officials appointed by the imperial court, how could they not know about it?"

Changsun Wuji stood up and said at this time.

He couldn't let go of this opportunity. Even if he couldn't sentence Prince Ji severely, he had to make some trouble for him.

When it comes to treason, even Your Majesty would have to be cautious.

At this moment, Li Chengqian, who was standing next to Li Shimin, had already realized that Li Shen came today to save Li Junxian.

But this time it seems to be different from usual, it’s a little big.

If you are not careful, you will get yourself involved.

He now began to worry about Li Shen.

Li Tai and Li Zhi were watching the show and gloating over its misfortune.

Who made you, Li Shen, like to meddle in other people’s affairs?

Changsun Wuji's words were recognized by everyone, and they all nodded.

What evil monk? It's just a rumor.

Li Shen was not at all panicked and bowed to Li Shimin.

"Aye, Duke Zhao said that there are no monsters or evil monks in this world.

Then I would like to ask, where does Li Junxian’s crime of colluding with the evil spirit come from?

Since there is no demon, how can there be any evil intentions?"

Li Shen did not defend himself, but directly brought out Li Junxian's crimes to exonerate him.

"Duke Zhao, do you think what I said makes sense?

Do you think there are demons in this world or not?"

Li Shen looked back at Changsun Wuji and gave him a strange smile.

"this......"

Chang Sun Wuji hesitated. If he wanted to convict Li Shen, he could only say that there was no demon.

But it was His Majesty who sentenced Li Junxian to collusion with the evildoer, which means that if His Majesty said he did it, then he must do it.

But if he said yes, Prince Ji would be convicted immediately, which made him unwilling.

Just as he was struggling, Li Shimin said with a gloomy face:

"Li Shen, the matter of Li Junxian is not that simple. It is not just that he colluded with the demon and had evil intentions.

Don’t worry about this matter anymore.”

After Li Shimin said this, the officials of the Zhao army's Li family became a little anxious.

Yuchi Jingde also wanted to step forward to plead for mercy, but Cheng Yaojin held him back and whispered:

"Don't worry, let's see how Prince Ji responds. Don't forget, this kid is very bad."

Li Shen looked at Li Shimin for a long time before saying:

"Father, I heard a little bit about what happened back then. Since you believe it so much, please give Li Junxian another chance."

"A chance? How do you want me to give him a chance?" Li Shimin frowned.

“Your Highness, since Li Junxian was implicated by the so-called destiny back then, I would like to ask the historian of the Bureau of Astronomy to tell his fortune again.

If it remains the same as before, then it can only be said that Li Junxian is about to die, but if his fate has changed, then it means that Li Junxian is not destined to die.

What do you think, Aye?"

Now Li Shen can only gamble this time. For the first time, he hopes that the divination is accurate.

If the calculation was correct and Wu Meiniang was taken in by himself, then the hexagram of that year would have changed.

But if it is not allowed and it is a fraud, then it is not certain. Of course, if it is not allowed and Li Junxian dies, Li Shen will also find a way to kill the Grand Historian of the Imperial Historian Bureau and bury him with him.

Many ministers were confused here. They did not understand this secret and did not know what Li Shen meant.

This is the first time I've heard of asking the Grand Historian to tell fortunes and save people.

Only some old ministers knew what Li Shen was talking about, but even if they knew, they had to pretend not to know.

After hearing Li Shen's words, Li Shimin fell into deep thought.

Li Shen’s method is not unfeasible.

When the star Taibai twinkled in the daytime, the historians interpreted it as a sign that the empress would ascend the throne and a female warrior king would be born.

Moreover, Li Chunfeng also told him that he would kill all the descendants of the Li family.

This is what made Li Shimin feel uneasy and resentful.

"Father, I think what my tenth brother said makes some sense, so why not give Li Junxian a chance.

It can also demonstrate Aye's kindness. After all, Li Junxian is also a meritorious minister.

If he died in vain, there would be many rumors in the outside world that would be unfavorable to Aye.

It has been more than ten years since then, maybe there has been a turn for the better.

Why not ask the Grand Historian of the Grand Historian Bureau to divine again and see what happens?"

Li Chengqian watched Li Shimin's expression from the side, leaned down and advised Li Shimin in his ear.

Looking at Li Shen's eager eyes below, Li Shimin's expression changed several times, and finally nodded.

"Come here, tell Li Chunfeng, the Grand Historian of the Grand Historian Bureau, to come."

"Send the Imperial Astronomical Bureau's Grand Historian Li Chunfeng to the audience~~~~~"
