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

Seeing the pitiful Wang Wan with tears streaming down her face, Empress Changsun still couldn't bear it. After all, she was her niece. Empress Changsun has always loved her since childhood, just like Changsun Chong.

"Hey~~~ Shen'er, mother only hopes that you can save his life. After all, he is Ling Ze's husband. Although he did something wrong, mother will apologize to you for him." Empress Changsun said to Li Shen said.

In fact, she knew very well that Wei Yuanzheng must be related to the assassination of Li Shen in the first few days, otherwise Li Shen would not be able to catch him.

And she knew from Li Shimin's attitude that the matter should have been settled, otherwise Li Shimin would not be so indifferent.

After all, Wei Yuanzheng was the governor of a state and a court official, but Wang Wan was also his niece, and she loved Wang Wan's eldest grandson, the Queen.

Li Shen said nothing and glanced at Empress Changsun, then turned to look at Li Shimin, and finally at his biological mother, Concubine Wei.

Concubine Wei has not said a word from beginning to end. She also heard in the harem that Li Shen was intercepted and killed by thousands of people in the first few days, and she was so frightened that she could not sleep well for several nights.

She knew that Li Shen didn't tell her because he was afraid that she would worry, but even a fool could see what happened today.

A governor of their Wei family was involved in this matter, and was probably the executor. This made Concubine Wei feel angry but also a little sad.

The Wei family was able to reach such a glorious level after the founding of Li Tang Dynasty. Except for Wei Guifei and his second uncle who joined Li Shimin,

Another important reason is that Concubine Wei entered the palace and became a concubine. Coupled with Wei Kuangbo's alliance with Li Shimin and his family, otherwise they could have wiped out half of the Wei family simply by supporting Wang Shichong.

Over the years, Concubine Wei and Li Shimin recommended many officials from the Wei family to serve in the court, including Wei Ting. But who would have thought that they would actually kill her son, how could he not be sad and angry.

Wei Renji noticed that Li Shen's eyes lit up, and he quickly bowed to Concubine Wei and said: "Concubine Wei, please consider that we are all members of the Wei family, and let His Highness Prince Ji show his respect.

We are all a family, so why can't we talk openly and honestly? Every mistake is Yuan Zheng's fault, and he will be disciplined strictly after he returns. "

When Concubine Wei heard this, she said to Wei Renji with a cold face: "My uncle was surprised by what he said. Didn't my son already say that Wei Yuanzheng was not arrested?

I'm very curious about what the mistake my uncle said was wrong. He is the governor of Tongzhou and is far away from Chang'an, and my son has never been out of Chang'an. How can I offend my son? Please tell me clearly from my uncle. "

"This..." Wei Renji was speechless for a moment. He couldn't say anything about sending people to kill Li Shen. Even if he knew it in his heart, he couldn't say it on the stage, otherwise he would be criticized and he would be killed. The truth is that others have the final say.

"I am a warm-hearted person. I will help you publish the news of the missing person in the newspaper. And spread it to all parts of the country.

I think there will be news soon. After all, Wei Yuanzheng can be regarded as my uncle. I will definitely help find it. "Li Shen doesn't want Concubine Wei to be in trouble.

After hearing this, Wei Renji knew that there was definitely nothing he could do today. So he said to Li Shen: "Then thank you, His Highness Prince Ji." After saying that, he saluted Li Shimin and others and took Wei Ting and Wang Wan away.

After they left, Li Shimin saw that no one else was around and asked Li Shen, "Did you arrest Wei Yuanzheng?"

"Yes, Aye. He is now being held in my second granary." Li Shen made no secret. Queen Changsun on the side looked at Li Shen in surprise. She didn't expect that Li Shen actually caught him and admitted it.

"Then what do you think?" Li Shimin was not surprised at all.

"Now let's see what Aye means. The first is to get Wei Yuanzheng's confession to prove that Cui Dunli was also involved. Then Aye can justifiably clean up the two families. Although they can't uproot them, they can kill them. One wave after another." Li Shen will definitely not be soft on those who want to kill him.

"It's impossible to kill them all. At most it's Cui Dunli, otherwise the court will be in turmoil. Although in recent years it can be said that the country is peaceful and the people are safe.

But it has not yet reached a stable level. The deep roots of the family can affect the whole body. "Li Shimin disagreed with Li Shen's idea.

"Then the second option is that Aye can take this opportunity to clear out some officials from aristocratic families and free up positions for the young people from poor families who have been selected in recent years. In exchange, we can only kill a few executors and not involve others." Li Shen gave a second plan.

"This method is feasible. The imperial examination has indeed selected some talents in recent years. It's just that there are not many vacancies for officials, and they are all controlled by aristocratic families, so they are all in the East Palace now. It is also time for them to come out and practice." Li Shimin agreed with this plan

"There is a third way, tit for tat. You don't need to come forward for this. I will do it myself. I want them to know that the power of a prince is not something they can underestimate." In fact, Li Shen prefers to handle it by himself.

"Old Shi, if you also assassinate them, this will form a vicious cycle, and everyone in the government and the public will be in danger. It will not be conducive to the development of the Tang Dynasty today.

Get Wei Yuanzheng's testimony as soon as possible and send it up together with Feng Shanwu's. We still have to act according to the law, and our words must be just and right.

Also give them a warning, let them know that I will kill people. "Li Shimin thought about it and still opposed Li Shen's assassination. It is better for a country to have laws.

Although Li Shen was unwilling to give in, he also knew that Li Shimin was right. The Tang Dynasty needed stability, as the aristocratic families were too powerful. If it is not done well, it may cause civil strife, and then neighboring countries will take advantage of the situation and gain more than they lose.

"Then do as Aye said. We will get Wei Yuanzheng's confession soon. Then we will see how much he can confess." Li Shen nodded in agreement.

"Did you really arrest Wei Yuanzheng?" Concubine Wei asked after watching the father and son finish their conversation.

"Yes, concubine, Feng Shanwu is a Tongzhou officer. Feng Shanwu brought Tongzhou soldiers to intercept and kill me. The Tongzhou governor didn't know that it was impossible.

Feng Shanwu had already recruited them, under the instruction of Wei Yuanzheng, and the person who helped them pass was Cui Dunli, the Minister of War. "Li Shen began to explain to his mother, so as not to blame him later.

"How dare they really dare? It's unreasonable. I treat them like this in vain, and they actually want to kill my son." Concubine Wei was so angry that she almost fell down when she swayed, but fortunately, the maid next to her helped her in time.

"Concubine, concubine, are you okay?" Li Shen saw her and hurried forward to check.

Seeing that Concubine Wei was fine, she comforted her and said, "Don't be sad, concubine. In my opinion, in fact, after four or five generations, the big family has no family relationship, and it is basically a relationship of interest.

For example, the aristocratic family has a population of almost tens of thousands, and most of them would not recognize each other.

Which of the thousands of members of the Du family doesn't know Du Ruhui, and it's not because he is the prime minister.

So from now on, mother and concubine, we just need to take care of our Xun Gongfang’s affairs, and we should not take care of their Xiaoyao Gongfang’s affairs. They can't do us any good either.

For example, I think those uncles of mine are pretty good. Wei Siqi and Wei Siren are talented people. Wesley is also good. When the court is being cleaned this time, my mother and Aye will recommend him, and he can be promoted to one or two levels. "

Li Shimin was listening nearby and was so angry that Li Shen was just helping his uncle plan for an official position. He also said it in front of him, as if he didn't exist.

"Okay, you can go back. Get Wei Yuanzheng to confess as soon as possible." Li Shimin waited for the mother-in-law to finish speaking and then began to chase him away.

"Yes"
