Zhenguan Xiaoxian Wang Li Shen Li Shimin

"Humph."

Hearing Li Yifu's words, Li Zhi snorted coldly.

“What you said makes some sense, but I’m afraid that after tomorrow, rumors will spread outside and people will criticize me.

So do you think Li Shen is a kind and righteous person?

Given the hatred between him and me, he will definitely spread rumors and slander me."

After hearing this, Li Yifu smiled and said:

"Your Majesty, I don't think Prince Ji would dare."

"Huh? Why? There is nothing in this world that Li Shen, that bastard, wouldn't dare to do."

Li Zhi asked in surprise.

Li Yifu said with a confident look:

"Your Highness, think about it, you are His Majesty's legitimate son, what Prince Ji did today has already brought shame on your Highness.

If the prince loses face, the royal family loses face, and your majesty loses face.

Your Majesty's not punishing Prince Ji is already a sign of favor to him. But if Prince Ji continues to target you, Your Majesty, he would be taking advantage of the favor and becoming arrogant.

Your Majesty will never allow Prince Ji to bring shame to the royal family.

Prince Ji is so smart, he must have thought of this.

Therefore, I conclude that King Ji will not send anyone to spread rumors tomorrow.

We just need to send people to investigate in various districts and guide them in the right direction if they find any rumors."

"Humph, you want to let this bastard bastard be proud for a while, don't let me catch him, otherwise I will make him die without a burial place."

After listening to Li Yifu's analysis, Li Zhi felt relieved. Li Yifu was right. His father cared so much about his face.

If he brings shame upon himself, it would be a shame for his father. After all, he is the legitimate son, and his father will still take him into consideration.

"Your Highness is right." Li Yifu nodded quickly, and Prince Jin finally calmed down.

"By the way, have you received any reply regarding the matter over there?"

Li Zhi sat down again, picked up another teacup and filled it with tea.

"My Lord, everything has been arranged."

Li Yifu bowed and reported.

"You must not make any mistakes, otherwise you and I will be doomed."

Li Zhi took a sip of tea.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, there will be no problem."

Li Zhi nodded:

"That's good. And is there any response from the other side?"

"Your Highness, they said they can consider it, but they want to see your sincerity."

Li Yifu replied in a low voice.

"Sincerity? Have I not given them enough sincerity? Send someone to tell them the current situation. They know it better than I do.

The king will certainly fulfill what he promised them after the matter is accomplished, and he also asked them to show their sincerity as soon as possible.

Also, to avoid suspicion, don't contact them for now, and wait until they make up their mind."

Li Zhi was immediately angry after hearing this.

"Your Majesty, please calm down. These barbarians are short-sighted. They won't agree unless they see the benefits.

It would be better for us to give them some sweet treats and promote cooperation as soon as possible.”

Li Yifu advised.

"Benefits? In a few years they won't have any benefits, these damned barbarians.

I have already given them a lot, do you think I need to bribe them with a large sum of money?"

Li Zhi frowned, somewhat displeased.

Li Yifu quickly explained:

"Your Majesty, didn't they want my Tang Dynasty's craftsman books last time?

There is no use taking things anyway, so we might as well get them some.

Just give them some weaving, farming, and smelting of those worthless books."

“Well, these are not valuable things, but don’t act so relaxed.

Tell them we also went through great pains to get it.

Prince Ji's Mansion has always kept a strict watch on these books, and ordered the Chamber of Commerce not to sell them or take them out of the Tang Dynasty.

Even the informant will be rewarded handsomely, and the imperial court has already issued an official letter.

Aye dotes on this bastard too much. He even has to issue an order to cooperate with such trivial matters. What good is there in this bastard? "

Li Zhi felt angry when he thought of this. These were just some farming and weaving things, and everyone in the Tang Dynasty knew about them.

These are the skills used by the lowly people in their daily lives. What's so precious about them that people still value them so much?

Then even their father joined in the fun.

"Your Highness is right. The work of these craftsmen is not worthy of being put on display in a classy place. Scholars, farmers, merchants and artisans must keep it secret. This is also keeping the teachings of the saints secret.

Now, all those foreign students are arranged to study in the Imperial Academy, which is really against the will of Heaven."

Li Yifu also nodded in agreement.

"Okay, arrange for someone to do this, and make sure it's not exposed. Also, pay attention to the most important thing right now.

Send some more people over there, just in case, there can't be any mistakes in this matter."

Li Zhi waved his hand for the last time.

"Yes, I accept your order."

Li Yifu bowed and left.

Li Zhi walked out of the room holding a teacup. There was still a roar outside, and the fireworks in Prince Ji's mansion never stopped.

Looking up at the fireworks in the sky, Li Zhi gritted his teeth:

"Li Shen, let's wait and see."

"Bang." The teacup in his hand shattered again.

The fireworks at Prince Ji's Mansion lasted for half an hour, and the people of Chang'an talked about it with great relish.

The next day, Li Shen woke up slowly and felt a little pain in his neck. He had looked up at the fireworks for too long yesterday.

I should have gotten a recliner so I could lie down and watch.

"Your Highness, the Chief Secretary Wang is here and is waiting in the front yard."

Li Shen was washing up when Shi Tou came in to report.

"Take him to the study and wait for me. I will come over after dinner."

Li Shen said as he picked up the towel and wiped his face.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

After Li Shen washed up and had his meal, he put on his casual clothes and staggered to the study.

"I've met the prince."

Wang Xuance stood up and saluted.

"Well, sit down, Chunxiang will make tea."

Li Shen nodded and lay down on the rocking chair.

"Your Majesty, people are beginning to criticize what happened yesterday, and most of them are talking about how extravagant Your Majesty was and how frugal Prince Jin was.

Your Majesty, should we add fuel to the fire and make things bigger? "

Wang Xuance asked softly after sitting down.

He knew about the feud between the prince and the Prince of Jin.

"But please don't do that."

After hearing Wang Xuance's words, Li Shen immediately rejected it.

"Xuan Ce, let's not get involved in this matter. It has nothing to do with our Ji Wang Mansion.

Your Majesty showed mercy by not punishing me yesterday.

If this prince continues to push his limits, he will inevitably suffer physical pain, and it will be difficult to explain to the Queen."

Li Shen explained. His father didn't beat him yesterday, or even scold him, which meant he had reached the bottom line.

His butt is so hard and he keeps pushing upwards.

"Yes, I understand." Wang Xuance agreed.

"Well, let's forget about this matter. We didn't deliberately target Brother Nine.

Your Majesty already knows that I am seeking revenge. We have already won this round, and that's it.

You must not let Your Majesty turn defeat into victory."

"Yes, I understand. By the way, my Lord, you asked me to check the King of Xiangyi, the King of Longxi, and the King of Bohai yesterday.

I have already found out the general idea.

This is the result of the investigation. These three princes are actually very famous, but they are just not in the same circle as the prince. "

Wang Xuance handed Li Shen a notebook.

"Oh? And they are famous? Then I have to see who they are."

(May the world be peaceful. Yesterday was Ghost Festival in foreign countries. Do foreign countries have the King of Hell?)
