Zhenguan Xiaoxian Wang Li Shen Li Shimin

Li An's words made Li Shimin even more curious. He is an immediate emperor and cares about everything about the soldiers. According to Li An, Li Shen actually trained his three thousand peasant soldiers so well. Li Shimin really wanted to see how good it was.

"Reporting to your Majesty, Shi Shi, the head of the internal affairs of Prince Ji's Mansion, asked to see him. He said that Prince Ji asked him to send a secret letter to His Majesty." A eunuch came in from outside to report.

"Let him come in." Li Shimin felt a little strange. According to normal procedures, Li Shen should have written the memorial to the Ministry of Education.

"I have met His Majesty." Shitou is now 15 years old. As a personal eunuch who grew up with Li Shen. Li Shen trusts him very much. Now he is the general manager of the inner palace of Prince Ji, responsible for the affairs of the inner palace. According to the rules, eunuchs could also be used in the prince's palace of the Tang Dynasty.

Li Shimin increased revenue and reduced expenditure, thus reducing the number of eunuchs in the palace. In order to find a way out for them, the released eunuchs also hoped that each clan could accept some.

Moreover, the back house of the Prince's Mansion is actually similar to the harem. It was also to ensure the purity of the royal bloodline. If this becomes a bit of a scandal, where will the royal family lose its face?

However, the eunuchs of the palace were only in the inner chamber. Just responsible for the daily routine. There is still a general manager for foreign affairs.

"Your Majesty, my prince asked his slave to send a secret letter to Your Majesty. He said that it was to be delivered to Your Majesty personally. No one else should know." Shitou said and took out a letter from his arms.

Wang De went down and took the letter, opened the envelope and took out the letter paper. This is to prevent someone from poisoning the letter. Li Shimin took the letter and took a look. The content is very simple: "Half belongs to Aye, half belongs to mother and concubine." Li Shimin was stunned after reading it. What does it mean?

"Does your prince have anything else to say?" Li Shimin closed the paper and asked

"Yes, the prince said that your majesty may be in a bad mood right now because the prince is not in a good mood. So he also said four sentences. He was arrogant and indulgent when he was young, but later he betrayed his family's love and worked hard to raise an enemy. "Shitou looked at Li Shimin nervously. Even if he is not very knowledgeable, he can still understand the meaning of Li Shen's four sentences.

"Humph, he also knows that I am in a bad mood, why didn't he come today." These four sentences are in line with what Li Shimin is thinking now, how much trouble it is to send troops to rob the mission. If people knew about it, it would be difficult not to punish the crime. If Tubo launched a war because of this time. If he is caught by the noble family, he, the prince, may not be able to keep it by then.

"The prince said that he might get beaten if he came. So he asked the slave to come. The prince also said that your majesty is kind and will not beat the slave." The stone started to sweat. This is provoking Your Majesty.

"That's unreasonable. What else could you say?" Li Shimin was so angry at Li Shen's words that he was so angry. Are you afraid of being beaten so you won't come?

"The prince said that you will calm down after seeing the secret message. Just ask your majesty to send General Li to wait at the gate of the palace to pick up the goods during the curfew. He also said that your majesty will handle the rest of the matter." Shitou said tremblingly. In fact, Li Shen's original words were that the son made a mistake and the father was in trouble. How dare Shitou stop saying this?

Li Shimin opened the letter again and suddenly realized. Emotions Li Shen's "one person and half" refers to the materials he robbed from Tibet. Tens of thousands are used to luxury goods. This Lu Dongzan also spent a lot of money to deceive others. Li Shen wanted to bribe himself. Help him smooth out the rest. My tenth son is still so shrewd.

"You go back and tell Lao Shi that the things will be delivered tonight. This will not happen again. The grounding period has not expired. Three months will be added. A two-year fine will be imposed. Let him think about his mistakes at home. Go down." Li Shimin said again. Li Shen was banned for three months. There is also a two-year fine.

Shi Shi saluted and then went out to return to the palace to reply.

"What? Another two years' salary. I've already been fined four or five years. A prince must have eighteen thousand guan a year. It's hard to let people live. Prince Ji's palace can hardly open the pot. This I can't live my life anymore." When Li Shen heard that he was sentenced to another two years, he lost control of his emotions. Yelling like a shrew in the direction of the door.

"Your Majesty, arbitrarily deploying troops is a serious crime of beheading. Your Majesty, you are lucky to be fine." Wang Xuance tried to persuade him. He didn't know why his little prince and master cared so much about money.

"No, I have to find a way to make the money back. Uncle Fugui, you go tell Wang Hongfu tomorrow. It will be in full swing soon. The old rule is to make gift boxes early. I also make soaps and other things. The price will increase one level." You have to find a place to make up for it. return.

"By the way, Xuance, you will arrange for the craftsmen and their families who have returned from the robbery to be at the foot of the mountain in the barracks. Tell them that betraying the empire requires three years of hard labor. Those who are willing to leave after three years can leave. They will be paid according to their work every month. They are allowed to come to Chang'an, but they can only go to one place. The land next to the foot of the mountain will be planted next spring." Li Shen began to explain the affairs. After Wang Xuance accepted the order, he ordered Xue Rengui to say:

"Rengui, during the curfew, just take my token and pull all the carriages we dispersed to the palace gate and hand them over to General Li. Sigh. The loss is a bit big this time."

Xue Rengui and Wang Xuance went to do things after receiving the order.

Li An should have greeted Jin Wuwei that night. During the curfew, Xue Rengui brought a large number of carriages to the palace, but no one came to question them. Things went very smoothly. Li An has been waiting here for a long time. It was like the two sides were making a secret deal. No one spoke.

Seeing Li An standing at the top of the city, Xue Rengui didn't say a word and led the people away silently. And when they were gone. The city gate opened, and a group of soldiers came out to drive the carriage into the palace. Then he was replaced by a eunuch at the harem gate and sent to the harem.

Li Shimin and Empress Changsun at the entrance of Daji Hall. The three of them, Concubine Wei, were waiting. Concubine Wei didn't know what to do. After Li Shimin and Queen Changsun arrived, Li Shimin only said that King Ji will send you something and open the warehouse soon. The three of them have been waiting here for a quarter of an hour.

Soon the sound of carriages was heard in the distance, and a large group of carriages drove over. Wang De began to arrange for people to open the boxes on the carriage to see what was inside. There are so many good things, including silks, gold and silver jewelry. Wine and spices.

"Concubine, pick out whatever you need from these things. Li Shen said that each of us would take half." Li Shimin said to Concubine Wei.

"Your Majesty, you can keep these things in your own money. These concubines have no need. I just don't know why Shen'er wants to give half of the things to each other." Concubine Wei was very confused. In the past, Li Shen always sent things separately.

"Hmph, these are stolen goods. He took these things to bribe me. Just keep half of it and move it to the warehouse." Li Shimin said. He didn't want to attract cynicism from Li Shen.

"Stolen items?" Concubine Wei asked in surprise.
