Zhenguan Xiaoxian Wang Li Shen Li Shimin

"Did His Royal Highness Prince Ji gain anything?"

As soon as Li Shen walked out, he saw the host Zhishou waiting at the door.

"Well, Master Xuanzang is indeed an enlightened monk. His explanation has enlightened me.

It is a blessing for our Tang Dynasty and the people that we have a great monk like Master Xuanzang.

I hope Master Xuanzang can save more people in the future and enlighten those lost people."

Li Shen replied with a pious look on his face.

"That's great. Being able to help the prince is worth the trip.

"Your Highness, please come this way. The princess and the others have already offered incense."

After hearing what Li Shen said, Zhishou finally felt relieved. Prince Ji's reputation in Chang'an could compete with that of an evil star, and it could stop a baby from crying.

There is also a legend circulating among the temples in Chang'an City.

In those days, there was a monk named Bian Ji who had attained enlightenment. Everyone said that he was the youngest and most insightful monk.

Everyone who knew him said that Bian Ji’s future achievements in Buddhism would be limitless.

Such a genius in the Buddhist world committed suicide the same night after meeting King Ji.

He also said eight words: The sea of ​​suffering is boundless, only by turning back can you reach the shore.

It was secretly rumored that Bian Ji's death must be related to Ji Wang Li Shen, but no one knew what method Ji Wang used to make Bian Ji hang himself.

And their abbot passed away within less than half a month during the time of Bian Ji.

The incident revealed many strange things, but the government classified it as a natural death.

So when Li Shen came here, Zhishou was a little worried, especially when Li Shen went to see Master Xuanzang.

Could it be that Xuanzang also committed suicide?

"My Lord, is everything done?"

Lu Dingniang saw Li Shen coming out and stepped forward to ask.

"Well, it's done. What about you guys? Have you all made a wish?"

Li Shen nodded slightly and asked.

"Now that we have made our wishes and burned incense, we can leave."

Lu Dingniang answered softly.

“Well, let’s go. By the way, Master Zhishou, since the princess has made a wish, I cannot come empty-handed.

Shitou, go get fifty gold bars from the cart as incense money for the princess and the others."

"It's the prince."

Soon, Shitou came with his servants, each holding a pile of gold bars.

Today they are very small, only one or two ounces each.

"Master Zhishou, this is a little money from me. If it works, I will have to repay you later."

Li Shen pointed at Huang Jin and smiled:

"Amitabha, thank you, Your Highness King Ji, for your donation."

Zhishou hit a sharp edge.

"Return home~~~~"

Li Shen also said "Amitabha", then got on the carriage with his wives.

The carriage slowly moved towards Prince Ji's Mansion.

Second day

The morning court session had not yet begun, and the ministers all entered the Taiji Hall to wait.

However, the Tai Chi Hall was a bit solemn today.

Many people could sense that something might be happening.

Everyone's expressions turned serious.

Several prime ministers in the front row also felt the changes behind them and turned around to look.

As the heads of all officials, they have the responsibility to lead all officials, but I haven't heard of any major events happening recently.

The biggest thing recently is Li Junxian’s matter.

But His Majesty has already issued an edict regarding Li Junxian’s matter.

Although the prince asked them to give him three days to issue an edict, they thought it might be difficult to do so.

Even His Royal Highness the Crown Prince could not save the situation because they all knew the legend.

"The prince has arrived~~~~~"

At this time, the eunuch chanted, and Li Chengqian appeared in front of everyone in the crown and robes of the crown prince.

"See His Highness the Crown Prince!"

"See His Highness the Crown Prince."

"Well, no courtesy."

Li Chengqian sat down with a relaxed look on his face.

"Your Highness, the flood in Jiangnan has passed. The 100,000 strings of grain and other supplies sent by Prince Ji's Palace have already reached the affected counties a few days ago."

Zhongshu Ling Ma Zhou stepped forward to report.

"Well, that's right. Prince Ji made a generous donation this time to help the court. He is indeed a royal descendant."

Li Chengqian praised himself.

"However, I heard that the price of salt in Jiangnan Road has increased by more than double. I wonder if it is true."

Li Chengqian had a blank expression on his face, but everyone could see that the prince was a little angry.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince, this is indeed true." Cui Renzhi stood up.

"Oh? Which store is selling salt?"

Li Chengqian said angrily. He knew whose family it was, but he couldn't reveal it at this time.

"Your Highness, please calm down and allow me to report back."

A minister from the Xiao family stood up.

"you say!"

“Your Highness, it is true that the price of salt has risen, but it only lasted for a short period of time.

Because of the flood, all the roads were washed away. My Xiao family went through untold hardships to ensure that the affected people could have salt.

They were transported from outside to Jiangnan over a long distance. The road was rugged and they had to travel through mountains and rivers. Several members of the tribe died during the journey.

That's why the price has gone up a bit, but I haven't made a penny.

A few days ago, we lowered the price to 20 wen per dou, so that the people can eat cheap salt.

Please let your highness the crown prince take a closer look."

The assistant minister of the Xiao family spoke with great righteousness, but most officials knew what was going on.

Especially the officials from the aristocratic families, if they hadn't put pressure on the Xiao and Wang families, the price would still be the same now.

"Really? It turns out that the Xiao family has also made contributions to the Tang Dynasty, not bad."

Li Chengqian praised with an expressionless face.

"Your Highness, everything I said is true."

Li Chengqian no longer paid attention to the officials of the Xiao family.

Next, he began to report on various major events that took place in the court.

After an hour, the matter was almost settled.

At this time, an imperial censor stood up, straightened his clothes, and said that his family had given him an important task today - to impeach Prince Ji.

Under normal circumstances, a small imperial censor like him would definitely not dare to do this. Compared with Prince Ji, he is nothing but a weakling.

It has been a long time since their family has impeached Prince Ji.

When they participated in the impeachment of Prince Ji, not only did they not get any benefits, but their family was also hit. If they had not given in,

If they ask His Majesty to mediate, they may now be like the other five families.

Today, the Zhaojun Li family and the Guanlong Li family have become the largest families in the Tang Dynasty. The Cui family, the once arrogant first family in the Tang Dynasty,

Now we can only retreat.

This is all because they relied on King Ji and were not targeted by him.

But he was a little uneasy today. The head of the family said that this was Prince Ji's idea to save Li Junxian, but he didn't know what was going on.

With a nervous heart, the Li family's censor bowed deeply to Li Chengqian.

Everyone's eyes turned to the Li family's censor.

The censor stood up, he must be here to impeach someone, but no one knew which official it was.

However, judging from the rank of this censor, everyone concluded that he was not an important figure.

If he is an important figure, at least an Imperial Censor will come to impeach him.

"Your Highness, I want to impeach Prince Ji."

(I pay my highest respects to all military personnel, wish them a happy Army Day, and wish the country prosperity and peace.)
