Wei Siyan wrote a letter and asked the housekeeper to deliver it to the palace guards at the palace gate, and asked the guards to give it to Concubine Wei. Generally, for a high-status person like Concubine Wei, anything that happens to her mother-in-law's family will be passed on through letters. Of course, guards with no status will not care about you.

In the afternoon, Li Shen received a message from the eunuch next to Concubine Wei. The message was very simple. He first said what Wei Renji asked Wei Siyan to say, and then let Li Shen make his own decision.

After hearing this, Li Shen thought, "Here, go and invite Wei Siyan." He had already discussed it with Li Shimin.

This time only Wei Yuanzheng and Cui Dunli were touched. Wei Yuanzheng is in prison now. As for Cui Dunli, Li Shen has asked Li Tiejun to personally take fifty swordsmen and disguise himself as a businessman. Today in the north, Li Shen's request is very simple. The sound made Cui Dunli disappear. This will test Li Tiejun's ability.

An hour later, Wei Siyan's brothers all arrived. Li Shen enthusiastically took them all to the front hall.

"Your Highness Prince Ji, I wonder why you called me here this time?" Wei Siyan asked knowingly. On the way, they guessed that it must be because of the message. Otherwise, it would be impossible to send the letter in the morning, and Li Shen would look for them in the afternoon.

"Uncle, don't be anxious. It's nothing serious. My mother has just sent someone to inform me of the letter you sent to my mother and concubine this morning. Just let me make my own decision.

So if anything happens to the Wei family from now on, let them come to me, but I don't want to see them, so it's better for you to pass the message. Li Shen said with a smile.

"Ah. I wonder if His Highness has any words for us to pass on to the clan." Wei Siyan did not expect that Concubine Wei would not care about this matter at all.

"Uncle, tell Wei Renji that I want the remaining half of the Boutique Pavilion store and the thirty acres of land in Qinrenfang. I can save the lives of the people they want to save and the lives of their families. But this will not happen next time." Li Shen's words surprised Wei Siyan and the others. This is too cruel.

"By the way, we also need five thousand acres of tea gardens," Li Shen added

"Your Highness Prince Ji, it is impossible for them to spend such a high price for Wei Yuanzheng." Wei Siqi, the second child, reminded gently. Li Shen's words really shocked the three of them.

"Don't worry, they will agree. The shop is not worth as much as the thirty acres of land. It only costs tens of thousands of yuan, and the tea garden may be a little more expensive. But the total is only 10,000+ yuan.

All you have to do is tell Wei Renji that I have a confession written by Wei Yuanzheng himself. They will agree. Li Shen said confidently

"His Royal Highness Prince Ji, I wonder if it is inconvenient for me to tell you what serious crime Wei Yuanzheng has committed. It is also possible for us brothers to weigh whether we should hide or not." Wei Siyan asked cautiously. If there is rebellion, then it must be planned. Clear boundaries.

"Actually, it's nothing. He was one of the participants in the assassination of me some time ago. And the cavalry is the cavalry from the Tongzhou Prefecture Army and he sent it here. The leader is Feng Shanwu, Tongzhou Prefecture Dianjun." Li Shen took a sip. After tea, he said it in an understatement.

"What? He participated in the assassination of the prince?" The brothers stood up in shock, with disbelief on their faces.

"This Wei Yuanzheng is desperate. If he doesn't get it right, he will be exterminated."

"These guys are crazy."

Li Shen gestured for everyone to sit down, "Don't get excited. This matter has nothing to do with your Yun State public house. I can only say that they are too unwise."

Anyone can hate me, not the Wei family. For my mother's sake, I wouldn't deal with them. I plan to take care of the Wei family if I have the opportunity in the future, but they don't think so. what a pity. "

Li Shen looked at the three people and continued: "The four of you are my mother's relatives, so we are not outsiders. If I tell you the truth today, the family will perish sooner or later.

After three generations of emperors at most, it’s hard to say how many more families will be left in the family. If you want to keep your family, listen to my advice, stay away from the court, and engage in business instead.

Today, the prosperous age has just begun, and everything is waiting to be done. It's time to accumulate wealth. Wouldn't it be more comfortable for us to be a wealthy businessman than it is for you to be an official in the court?

If anyone in the clan wants to be an official in the future, tell them to put the country first and not the family. Such a big family doesn't care about small profits.

And you can also donate a little wealth to the country from time to time, so that such a family can go far in the long run.

I wonder which emperor would be willing to let the gentry control the government. Look at how many big families have perished since the beginning of the Pre-Qin Dynasty. All you noble families are just making up for others' shortcomings.

The wheel of uncle's history will never stop, he will keep moving forward. There will be changes in every dynasty, and we have to adapt to these changes. I hope you can keep the Yunguo public house in the future. After all, this is my mother’s natal family. "

Li Shen's words caused the four of them to fall into deep thought. It is not that there are no big families in history. During the Spring and Autumn Period, there were four big families: Ji, Jiang, Jingmi, and Ying. They all had an impact on the situation at the time, and each of them was famous at the time. Now they have all disappeared in the long river of history.

"His Royal Highness Prince Ji, you are right. Now our Yun Kingdom no longer has the glory of our ancestors. To preserve our branch, we should change.

Otherwise, you really don’t know when you will be implicated if you follow them. They would even dare to assassinate the prince, so what else would they not dare to do. It’s just that the prince will need help in the future. "As the eldest son and grandson of Yun Guo Gongfang, Wei Siyan naturally has the right to speak on his behalf.

"Uncle, you are too polite. We are all one family. In fact, there is no conflict of interest between the family and the country. You are now officials working hard for the Tang Dynasty. The family can change the direction of development according to national policies.

And you can know some national policy information in advance, which gives you an advantage. Why not make a little money while catering to the development of Datang. "Li Shen was very satisfied with their attitude.

"Then, Your Majesty, we will reply to Wei Renji as you said." Wei Siyan stood up and prepared to leave. The amount of information the four of them received today was a bit overwhelming. The family participated in the assassination of the prince. And what Li Shen said also told them to go back and think about it carefully.

"Well. Just tell him, if they want to talk, just let them come to me directly. Tell Wei Renji that time may not wait for anyone, and it will be bad if the Criminal Department finds out something.

He also told Wei Renji to tell the people who should be notified that each family must provide fifteen shops in Dongshi and ten thousand acres of fertile land around Chang'an. I promise that I will not pursue them, otherwise I will publish Wei Yuanzheng's confession in newspapers and distribute it throughout the country. I'll see how they die then. "Li Shen stood up and said

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, we will go back immediately and bring the message to Wei Renji." After that, Wei Siyan and others left.
