Zhenguan Xiaoxian Wang Li Shen Li Shimin

Just when Li Shen was getting carried away, Shitou asked, which made Li Shen stunned.

There was a puzzled expression on his face.

This is somewhat different from what I thought.

The script I wrote was not like this. As long as Shitou nodded his head to admit his mistake and I cursed a few words, the matter would be over.

Isn’t this what we did before?

He looked at Shi Tou, and the meaning in his eyes was very clear, which was to say, what are you doing? Why don't you follow the script?

Li Shimin on the side was also a little surprised. This was different from what he thought.

But he knew from Li Shen's expression that Li Shen didn't know what was going on either.

"Since... since you have asked, then you can tell His Majesty about it."

Li Shen said reluctantly.

But I thought in my heart, if you can't say it, I'll show you how I'll deal with you when you get back.

"Yes, I wonder what aspect of the nursing home Your Majesty wants to know?"

Shitou bowed respectfully to Li Shimin.

Li Shimin looked at Shi Tou's determined expression and asked:

"Then let's talk about the protection issue. Your master said that the place is a forest and there is no wall. How can we protect it?"

Shitou recalled for a moment before saying:

"Your Majesty, since most of the dukes in the nursing home are military commanders, they basically do not bring guards.

Therefore, the protection of nursing homes is of utmost priority.

For this purpose, Prince Ji's palace selected 500 young and strong men from the fiefdom to serve as guards.

They were divided into different teams to patrol the nursing home day and night.

We secretly visited a hundred secret sentries in the woods, and their positions were different every day.

They will move around in a certain area and fire flares and blow whistles as soon as they spot the enemy.

As soon as there is any movement, the guards will immediately prepare for battle, and the guard camp several miles away will immediately dispatch cavalry to come to the rescue.

I believe that even if there are bandits roaming around Chang'an City, their number will not be too large, and a few hundred people should be able to hold out until reinforcements arrive."

Shitou told everything he knew based on his memory.

Li Shen's eyes lit up. What a good boy, you are really good at making up stories. But he soon regretted it. Why didn't I think of making up a reason?

As expected of him following me for so many years, he seems to have some brains. Not bad.

After listening to Shitou, Li Shimin thought for a moment and felt that what Shitou said was indeed feasible.

There has been no banditry around Chang'an for a long time.

With a defense of 500 people, if you want to kill them quickly, you need at least a thousand people.

There wouldn't be such a large number of thieves around Chang'an City, unless they were rebels.

The largest group of bandits around Chang'an City is the guard camp of Prince Ji's Mansion.

In order to train troops, almost all the bandits and robbers in the surrounding area were killed, and the rest all ran away.

But... Li Shimin raised his head and asked:

"Then I am here to ask you, have you ever been told what to do if the enemy does not attack but assassinates you?

There were only a hundred sentries in such a large forest, and the distance between them was probably very far, making it easy for someone to take advantage of the loopholes.

There are also patrols inside, but they only do so once in a while, so there will always be some time off in between.

How can we double the assassination in this way?"

Li Shimin understood military tactics and was good at marching and deploying troops, so the nursing home was a weakness for him.

Li Shen was also stunned. Yes, how to solve this problem? How about assassination?

Li Shen understood very well why these old generals did not bring any guards, as it was just arrogance.

You think you have been marching and fighting for so many years, and you must have seen all kinds of scenes?

His father, Li Shimin, was the same.

This idiot, just say you don’t know, but you insist on making it up. Do you see loopholes?

Li Shen couldn't help but think.

Shitou replied calmly:

“Your Majesty, in addition to the above, the guards will also arrange secret sentries around the courtyard where the Duke lives every day.

These dukes do not live here permanently, and they rarely live here at the same time, so the protective force is still sufficient.

Once a stranger is spotted, an alert will be given immediately and the escort team will arrive within a short time.

Since it is an assassination, there must not be too many people."

Li Shimin nodded after hearing this.

The arrangement is still okay.

There are several hundred guards guarding the place, as well as secret sentries around the courtyard, so it is considered to be comprehensive.

Even if he went out, if he was around Chang'an, he wouldn't have too many aftertastes.

When the prince went out of the city, he was accompanied by only a few dozen guards.

If Li Shen had not been assassinated several times, his guards would have been at most ten people, and Li Shimin would never have allowed him to parade through the city with a hundred people.

Li Shen was stunned by what he heard. They didn't realize that Shi Tou was a talented person.

This is a good idea. Even if it is implemented, there are not many loopholes.

It seems that Shi Tou has learned a lot from me over the years.

"Why? You look surprised. Don't you know it yourself?"

Li Shimin looked at Li Shen and asked with a smile.

"Haha, haha, I know, I know, how could I not know, it was my son who asked them to do this."

Li Shen laughed twice to hide his embarrassment.

He turned around and glared at Shitou, meaning, what? Brother, you stole the show, you know that.

Shitou saw Li Shen's look and immediately misunderstood what he meant, thinking that Prince Ji wanted him to help explain, so he immediately bowed and said:

"Your Majesty, I know that it was His Royal Highness Prince Ji who asked me to ask Manager Wang about these.

After I came back, I explained it to the prince, so His Highness Prince Ji said he knew, and I can confirm it. "

"Oh? Is that so?"

Li Shimin looked at Li Shen with a playful expression.

"Is...right? Ah...yes, yes, that's it, it was Er who asked him to ask, um, yes."

Li Shen was filled with hatred in his heart. This bastard, is there no tacit understanding between them after all these years?

He is not good at anything and he is the first one to ruin me.

Don't you see that everyone has seen through it? What are you still making up? I'll charge you with deceiving the emperor and chop off your second head.

Li Shen's expression made everyone at the table smile, and his biological mother, Concubine Wei, was even more troubled, because everyone could see that he didn't know.

"Okay, stop pretending. If you don't know, you don't know. It's not a big deal."

Empress Changsun spoke for Li Shen.

"Humph, I just wanted to see how he would do it. I never thought that you two would be so bold as master and servant.

How dare you deceive the emperor? Aren't you afraid of death for your master?"

Li Shimin snorted, and his cold tone made Li Shen shiver. It's over, things have gone wrong.

Hearing the emperor's cold tone, Shitou was not afraid, but continued to say affirmatively:

"I dare not deceive your majesty. Everything I said is true. It is not for your highness Prince Ji."

Li Shen couldn't help but frown when he saw Shi Tou resisting. There was no need to go against the emperor at this time.

This will cost you your head.

He was about to blow away the stone to save his life, but Li Shimin spoke first:

"Oh? In other words, you really asked Wang Hongfu and then reported the matter to your master?"
