Li Shen was stunned by the sudden and generous reward. Good land, money. There are also [-] households that have been sealed off. Li Shen couldn't help but shout in his heart that he's getting rich, he's getting rich. Li Shen was immersed in ecstasy when he was interrupted by a voice

"Your Majesty. King Shen is the second generation of the royal family. He has not left the vassal domain and is still underage. It is not in line with etiquette to be crowned a prince. Please take back your appointment." Cui Renzhi, the censor who spoke

All the ministers were silent when they heard this. Knowing that this is the family's target against Li Shen. There are some who are watching the changes, and there are also those who are gloating about the misfortune.

All the censors joined in agreement. Li Shimin looked at these censors silently. I was very angry. Originally, the queen's recovery was a happy event. But being disturbed by this Cui Renzhi, he was not in the mood. According to etiquette, Li Shen cannot be crowned prince. At least not now, Li Shen is the second generation. Unless Li Shimin dies and the new emperor succeeds to the throne, Li Shen will become the first generation to be crowned prince. But Li Shen made great contributions to curing Empress Changsun. And it’s a royal thing. Most ministers will not come out to refute.

However, Li Shimin couldn't come forward at this time, so he looked at the servants on his left and right, namely Changsun Wuji and Fang Xuanling, and asked, "What do Fang Qing think?"

Fang Xuanling was scheming and knew what Li Shimin meant. After organizing the language, he said:

"I think Cui Yushi's words are wrong. There are always exceptions. King Shen has done a great job in saving the queen, and in addition to the reward for the reform of the imperial examination, your majesty has not awarded the reward. This is enough to make a prince. What's more, King Shen is a county. Wangjue. The fiefdom of Xiangzhou must be granted to the king sooner or later. It’s just a few days in advance. It doesn’t count as overstepping the etiquette system.”

"Although it is meritorious to save the queen, King Shen is the son of a man, and it is reasonable to treat the queen as his mother and save the queen. The reform of the imperial examination is a political matter, and King Shen is the king of the county and participates in the affairs of the court to relieve His Majesty's worries. It is also the right thing for a minister to do. Where does the credit come from? His Majesty has already fulfilled the imperial edict, and giving land and money is not a gaffe. Since ancient times, etiquette cannot be abolished." Cui Renzhi retorted.

Once he heard that saving the queen was not a great achievement, Chang Sun Wuji stopped doing it. Saving Empress Changsun with emotion and reason must be a great achievement. Yu Qing was his sister at this time, and Yu Li relied on Empress Changsun to increase the bond and trust with Li Shimin. If saving the queen is not a big deal, then doesn't it mean that her sister's status is low? That's not okay. He had to let everyone know that her sister had a high status so that he could have his back against the big tree. So Changsun Wuji stood up without hesitation and said:

"It's so wonderful that the Queen is the mother of a country. She honors the world. The Queen is seriously ill and the imperial doctors are helpless, including your Cui family's imperial doctors. And His Highness King Shen has wonderfully restored youth, but you erased this credit with just a word of reason. Then why Your Cui family's imperial physician can't do something reasonable even if you can't rejuvenate yourself. Could it be that your Cui family's imperial physician did this on purpose?"

The atmosphere became tense as soon as these words came out. What Duke Zhao Guogong said was too cruel. Deliberately delaying the queen's condition. It means murdering the queen. This is a grave crime to destroy the Nine Clans.

"Zhao Guogong, don't talk nonsense. How dare our Cui family do this. Many imperial doctors went to diagnose and treat him at that time. You...you..." Cui Renzhi was so angry that his hands trembled. This Zhao Guogong wants to destroy his Cui family. This hat is too big.

"Okay, auxiliary machine, I believe that the Cui family will not do such a treacherous thing." Li Shimin reassured when he saw that the fire was almost done.

"Thank you for your trust, Your Majesty." Cui Renzhi thanked him.

"However, it is indeed a great achievement to save the queen. Besides, this is a matter for the royal family. Don't discuss it in the court anymore." Li Shimin concluded.

Li Shen saw that the matter was basically settled. He quickly stepped forward to thank him. As a result of the excitement, the prince had no attraction for him. Morning and night. As modern people, we deeply understand the importance of money. So Li Shen is very obsessed with money.

Li Shimin seemed to be fine. Just announce the next court. When Li Shen left the hall, he saw Cui Renzhi and several officials from the Cui family walking out. I couldn't help but feel very dissatisfied. I thought to myself that I must give him some color.

"His Royal Highness Prince Ji." Li Shen heard someone calling him. Looking back, he saw Changsun Wuji. So he bowed humbly

"I've met my uncle" Changsun Wuji is the queen's brother and uncle. All Li Shimin's children are the queen's children, so they naturally call Changsun Wuji their uncle. And with Changsun Wuji’s current status and strength. There are so many princes and princesses who call them uncle because they are related to each other.

"I don't dare. Thank you His Highness Prince Ji for rescuing the Queen. I should have thanked you long ago. But you are in the harem and have no chance. I hope Your Highness will not be offended." Changsun Wuji thanked Li Shen. Most of the novels Li Shen reads portray Changsun Wuji as a bad guy. In fact, Li Shen's opinion. Changsun Wuji and Su Ruo were ruthless and ruthless, and Li Shimin couldn't use him so highly. Changsun Wuji is just a little greedy for power. He is relatively tactful, but has strong ability to do things and is talented in both civil and military affairs. He is also loyal to the royal family.

"Uncle, please don't say that. It is my son's duty to save the mother. I would also like to thank my uncle for his outspoken help in the palace just now." Li Shen also responded.

"His Royal Highness King Ji. I told the truth today. But you must be careful in the future. The family has great energy. Cui Renzhi is just a disgusting person sent by the family. Most of the people in this dynasty are children of the family." Changsun Wuji mentioned Tao

"Thank you for your advice, uncle. Don't worry, uncle, I will be careful. I will definitely repay you in the future for your kindness." Li Shen said, cupping his hands.

Afterwards, the two of them left with a few reserved words. Li Shen didn't go to the Imperial College anymore. Take the imperial edict and go directly back to Daji Hall. In fact, when Li Shen went to the Imperial Academy, he was just messing around. He doesn't like anything. Concubine Wei Guifei was already waiting when she returned to Daji Hall. I was very excited to know that my son received a reward today. Li Shen showed the imperial edict in his hand to Concubine Wei. Concubine Wei was extremely happy after reading it. She said to her female officer: "Today is a happy day, and everyone will be rewarded. The servants will receive three hundred coins, and the stewards will receive five hundred coins. Each of you will receive the same bonus."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, Your Highness, Prince Ji." The palace maid and eunuch were naturally happy to receive the reward.

Concubine Wei pulled Li Shen to sit down. Li Shen told Concubine Wei about what happened in the court today. When it comes to the Cui family preventing his son from becoming king. Concubine Wei was so angry. Said to Li Shen. "How dare you prevent my son from being crowned king? Don't worry, Shen'er. I will write a letter to your uncle and grandpa tomorrow. I want to ask him if he is interested in this matter. Or is it only the Cui family who is targeting my son?" said Concubine Wei. His great-uncle is the head of the Wei family. His maternal grandfather's cousin.

"Forget it, concubine, the child will handle it on his own. The child is young now. Wait a few years before we talk. It's never too late for a gentleman to take revenge. Concubine, don't be angry." Li Shen saw that Concubine Wei was so angry and quickly comforted her.

"Okay. You are still young. Don't conflict with the family head-on. It's better to be careful."

The news spread quickly and it didn't take long for everyone in the harem to know that Li Shen was named prince. Young kings are treated like county kings. Only when you reach adulthood and are crowned, you need to leave a fiefdom before you can be granted the title of prince. The disciple born to Queen Changsun. For example, King Li Tai of Wei and King Li Zhi of Jin were treated like princes. It can be seen that Li Shen was looked upon with special regard by Li Shimin.

So all the concubines from the harem came to Daji Hall to express their congratulations. Concubine Wei personally received each of them to express her gratitude. Li Shen did not participate in such social activities. I was thinking in my study about how I should give the Cui family some counterattack.

"Shitou, go out and ask around. What are the Cui family's businesses? They mainly make money from it. Lan Yu'er gave Shitou two dollars. Spend whatever you need. The main information is accurate." Li Shen ordered.

To fight back. Li Shen definitely had no chance in the court. The only thing Li Shen relies on is the advanced thinking of modern people, and the Cui family is a wealthy family. There is no secret about what kind of business you do. It should be easy to find out. Then make next steps. Li Shen has no chance to go out and open a mansion now. Many things in the palace are inconvenient. Moreover, they were alone and weak, so Li Shen felt that they should find more allies. Most of the people in the imperial court were officials from aristocratic families. Only a few old people in Prince Qin's palace who had no connection with the family were loyal to Li Shimin. So it’s easy to choose partners. That is to say, the generals Guogong and Sikong Pu were shot.
