Li Shen was stunned when he heard Wang Xuance's words, and then said blankly:

"Xuan Ce, where did you hear this rumor? Don't say this to anyone else, it will kill someone."

It was obvious that Li Shen didn't believe it. He didn't believe that Li Shimin wanted to kill an important minister just because he lost the game of chess.

"Your Majesty, how dare I speak nonsense? Many ministers know this matter." Wang Xuance immediately said that he was not lying.

Li Shen immediately became interested after hearing this. He was still very interested in his father's dark history, so he said:

"Come on, let's talk quickly."

After that, Li Shen asked Chunxiang to make tea, took out nuts and other snacks, and sat on the small bench with an expectant look on his face.

Seeing that Li Shen had finished everything, Wang Xuance sat upright in front of the desk, cleared his throat and said:

"Ahem~~ The thing is like this. Back then, when the prince went south to the Governor's Mansion in Guangzhou, His Majesty once played chess with Tang Shangshu after returning to Chang'an from Luoyang. Tang Shangshu was very skilled in chess and knew the layout, so he was able to occupy a favorable position first every time.

Your Majesty originally thought that he had met his opponent in chess, but unexpectedly, he was killed by Tang Shangshu, leaving no trace of him behind.

This made His Majesty very angry, so he wanted to dismiss Tang Shangshu from office and demote him to the governor of Tanzhou.

But Tang Shangshu was an old minister after all, so he had to have a reasonable reason, so his majesty told Duke E bluntly that Tang Jian did not respect his majesty enough and wanted to kill him, and asked Duke E to testify.

It was said that there were accusations against Tang Shangshu, and Duke E was timid and agreed.

During the small court meeting the next day, His Majesty asked Duke E if the accusations against Tang Jian he heard from outside were true.

At that time, the Duke of E knelt down and kowtowed, saying that he had not heard about this matter. His Majesty asked the Duke of E several times but he still did not change. In the end, he had no choice but to let Tang Jian go.

His Majesty was very angry at that time and broke many things.

A few days later, His Majesty invited veterans from three provinces and six ministries to have a meal. He said that Duke E's actions saved Tang Jian from death and saved His Majesty from a reckless killing. Therefore, he rewarded Duke E with a thousand brocades and praised Duke E for his loyalty. "

After Wang Xuance finished speaking, he looked at Li Shen. Li Shen was so shocked that he forgot to chew the fruit he put in his mouth.

This is too nonsense. His father lost in a game of chess and said that he didn't respect him and wanted his life.

It turns out that not only can I not afford to play with him, but I can't afford to play with anyone else.

"Your Majesty, I just want to say that your Majesty is getting older now, so his temperament has changed a bit. I have read a lot of history.

Every emperor in every dynasty will be so suspicious when he gets old. "

Li Shen nodded. Li Shen thought this was normal. Even if he gets older in later generations, his personality will change to some extent.

Especially in old age.

However, he also thought that Li Shimin was only in his forties now, so he should not be considered old.

"Then Xuance, do you mean not to let me take care of this matter?" Li Shen asked.

"Your Majesty, it's best not to make it too obvious. Princess Chengyang is a direct descendant, and I don't think it's convenient for Your Majesty to interfere.

Moreover, His Majesty may have other purposes for surrendering Princess Chengyang to Du He. It would be bad if the prince disrupted His Majesty's plan. "

Wang Xuance analyzed.

Li Shen thought about Wang Xuance's words carefully and shook his head.

"What kind of plan can we have? Although the Du family has a great business, Du He is just the second son of a playboy.

If Du Gou thinks it is more reasonable.

But you're right, we have to think of a perfect solution for this matter, we can't do it ourselves.

To be honest, I can't ignore this matter. Chengyang has a very good relationship with me, and there is also Xiao Sizi. I can't bear to see this sister marry a dandy. "

Li Shen sighed. He still valued family ties. This was the case in his previous life.

Wang Xuance nodded, which was why he followed Li Shen.

In fact, in his opinion, Li Shen and Li Shimin are quite similar. They both care about friendship, which can be seen from Li Shimin's attitude towards these veterans.

From the pre-Qin Dynasty to the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin was the most kind to the heroes.

"Your Majesty, if that's the case, then I'll go back and think of a solution, but I'll have to wait until the Prince goes out to make plans."

"Okay, by the way, find two people to follow Du He and see if he has any bad habits. If it is found that he has bad habits, then this matter will be much easier."

Li Shen nodded and ordered.

After receiving the order, Wang Xuance also stood up to say goodbye, while Li Shen fell on the bed again and began to think.

It has been a month since Li Shen entered the prison of the Ministry of Punishment, and Li Shen almost fell ill in the prison.

He really wanted to be like in the TV series, holding open the door of the prison and shouting every day, 'Let me out, I was wronged. ’

But there was no one here, not even a prison guard. Zhang Xingcheng came a few times, and then even Zhang Xingcheng didn't come.

When the prisoners in other parts of the Criminal Department learned that a prince had been imprisoned, they originally wanted to complain.

They were beaten severely by the prison chief, and then they were told that if they disturbed this man, they could go on their way in advance.

This made no other prisoners dare to speak loudly.

If it weren't for the fact that there were several personal servants accompanying him in this place, Li Shen would really have gone crazy.

That day, Li Shen was playing mahjong with a few servants boredly, when suddenly a shout came from outside:

"The saint has arrived~~~~~"

Li Shen jumped up and stood up immediately.

"Hurry and clean it up quickly."

"What are you packing?" Li Shimin's voice had already appeared at the door.

"Sir, see Aye."

"Slaves see Your Majesty."

Li Shen hurried over to salute. Wang De stepped forward and opened the cell door. Li Shimin walked in, followed by Zhang Xingcheng, the Minister of Punishment.

Li Shimin walked to the table, reached out and picked up the mahjong, looked at it, and then threw it on the table.

"Hmph, it seems that our King Ji is living well here. I heard that you have constant visitors even in the cell.

People come to visit you from time to time. "

"Aye, there is no such thing. Mother and others have come to see me, but Aye doesn't know anything. When my mother came here, she saw her son alone and helpless, and was heartbroken.

He had to take his son out, but the state-owned legal family had family rules. Aye punished his son to reflect here, how could he go out, so he flatly rejected his mother's kindness.

Alas, how pitiful the hearts of parents in the world are. "Li Shen shook his head emotionally.

"Fart, is this how you reflect in prison?" Hearing Li Shen's words, Li Shimin was not angry to death.

He picked up a bunch of money on the table and put it in front of Li Shen.

"Who do you think plays mahjong consistently, huh? You tell me."

Li Shen looked at this amount of money and felt that it was a bit excessive, but his brain was not very good and he was too tired from counting coins.

So he thought it was good to play consistently. Anyway, these servants all had money, but he didn't expect that if four people played, he would lose.

And the more he loses, the more he loses. He always has the mentality of winning back. He has lost more than two hundred dollars these days.

Li Shen took a bunch of money from Li Shimin and started thinking about how to explain it.

"Okay, clean up here and follow me to Liangyi Palace." Li Shimin actually came here to see how Li Shen's mental state was. "
