Zhenguan Xiaoxian Wang Li Shen Li Shimin

Seeing everyone surrounding him, Li Shen was frightened and quickly hid backward. Shi Tou was the first to rush to Li Shen and blocked him with his body.

Wang Xuance followed closely behind to protect Li Shen.

"Wow!"

A uniform sound rang out, and the crossbows of the hundred guards all changed direction.

"What...what do you want?"

Li Shen shouted from behind.

"Your Highness Prince Ji, we are going to stay in a nursing home."

Li Shen calmed down after hearing it clearly. Damn, he thought he had offended the public and these people were trying to get rid of him.

He stood up again, regaining his majestic and domineering appearance, and took a look. A small number of officials did not step forward.

It seems that he is just here to watch the fun, or he is waiting for the emperor to come and see if he can be allowed in.

Most of the remaining people are clamoring to move into nursing homes.

Li Shen frowned. There weren't that many houses in the nursing home. There were only a few dozen courtyards in total, which Li Shen prepared specifically for those high-ranking nobles.

Although some of these people have some titles, they are all minor nobles, and many of them have benefited from the good deeds of their ancestors.

"Everyone, please be quiet. To be honest, even if you were to stay in a nursing home today, I would not let you in.

Today's banquet is because His Majesty wants to reminisce with those old ministers.

I know that many of your fathers were heroes who followed Your Majesty through life and death.

But today, I still won’t let you in.

This is not because your fathers have passed away and people have left you alone, nor is it because I want to take advantage of your misfortune.

It is my filial piety as a son.

This king does not want His Majesty to be sad because he misses your parents after seeing you when His Majesty is happy.

I hope that all the dukes can understand my filial piety.

So everyone, if you want to live in a nursing home, please go to the boutique tomorrow to discuss it. I hope you will understand. "

After saying that, Li Shen bowed to everyone.

Everyone was silent. There was nothing they could do. Prince Ji had already said so much. If they still didn't appreciate it,

If King Ji gets angry at that time, they will be in trouble.

Just at this moment, several more carriages came over.

"Your Highness, this is the carriage of the Second Duke of the Secretariat."

Wang Xuance gave a reminder.

Upon hearing this, Li Shen immediately waved his hand behind him.

With a "crash", everyone put down their bows and crossbows.

The others also saw the approaching carriage and moved aside.

The carriage stopped and the Minister of the Central Secretariat Ma Zhou and the Minister of the Imperial Court Yu Zhining got off.

"I have met His Highness Prince Ji."

The two men bowed. They did not dare to look down on Ji Wang Li Shen. This guy was too shameless and too shameless to be offended.

"No need to be polite. I'm here to greet Duke Zhou and Duke Yu."

Li Shen also returned the greeting.

"Your Highness Prince Ji, please take a look."

Ma Zhou didn't say much, but stepped forward to block the view of others and handed Li Shen a note.

Li Shen took it with a puzzled look on his face. There were two words written on it in Feibai script: "Let it go."

He knew at first glance that it was his father's handwriting. After Li Shen's expression changed several times, he finally closed his eyes and waved his hand.

The guards removed the roadblock, and Ma Zhou and Yu Zhining bowed and walked in.

Looking at the two of them, Li Shen's heart felt like it was bleeding and was filled with pain.

But he had no choice, it was his father's will.

These two men were also poor. Ma and Zhou were born in poor families and had no prominent background. They all lived on their salaries.

I have to support my relatives on a daily basis. My life is okay, but it is far from being rich.

I am still far from being able to compete with Li Shen, and I am also far inferior to other dukes.

Yu Zhining was similar. His father was an official in the early Sui Dynasty. He had some family wealth, but he was not from an aristocratic family.

Eight thousand strings of cash a year really cost them half their lives.

Ma Zhou and Yu Zhining were actually very nervous as well.

"Mr. Yu, it's a good thing we have His Majesty's note, otherwise I'm afraid we wouldn't be able to get in."

Ma Zhou was very fortunate.

“Yes, Ma Gong, look at the expression on Prince Ji’s face just now, and the way he looked at us at the end, he was like a jackal.

Your Majesty is wise and knows Prince Ji very well, so he gave us two notes in advance.

otherwise......"

Yu Zhining thought of the scene in the palace. His Majesty asked them to come to the nursing home for a banquet and gave them a note before leaving.

When the two were puzzled, Li Shimin said something:

"Take it and show it to King Ji, otherwise the two of you prime ministers combined won't be enough for King Ji."

They didn't understand at first, but now they understand from the situation: Prince Ji is selling tickets, and the prices seem to be quite high.

Otherwise, why would Prince Ji look so distressed?

They both said in unison, "Your Majesty is wise."

"What are you all still doing here? His Majesty will be here soon, and everyone should stay away.

That guy... and that guy... you, the rest of you can go in first. And..."

After feeling heartbroken, Li Shen stood on a chair and began to pick people from the crowd. Only a few of the eighteen scholars back then were still alive.

There were quite a few military generals, all of whom had fought with Li Shimin.

According to Wang Xuance's advice, Li Shen allowed some of the earliest civil and military officials who followed Li Shimin to join.

Li Shen asked the others to go back, as there wasn't much else for them to do.

Many people were somewhat reluctant, especially the second generation who were to inherit the title of Duke.

"Your Majesty, it seems that the Crown Prince has arrived."

"What?"

Li Shen was stunned. What the hell is the prince doing here? Dad is just reminiscing about his childhood, when you were still a ball.

Looking into the distance, I saw a group of people coming with yellow flags. There was no ceremonial guard. Judging from their attire, they should be the Prince's six generals.

Huh? Li Shen suddenly realized something was wrong. There was not just one carriage in the team, but three.

"Your Majesty, it seems there are also the King of Wei and the King of Jin."

Wang Xuance reminded in a low voice.

"What are these three guys doing here?" Li Shen also said in a low voice.

"My Lord, this is a bit troublesome."

How to stop these three people? Should we shoot them to death?

"It's a bit troublesome, but don't worry about those two guys. The prince is indeed a bit difficult to deal with."

Li Shen nodded. Li Tai and Li Zhi, if Li Shen got into a corner, he could use a bow and crossbow to scare them.

But the prince couldn't do that. Who would dare to point a crossbow at the prince? This would be a crime like regicide.

If you dare to threaten him today, you will dare to kill him tomorrow. Will his father kill him?

What should I do? Li Shen was very distressed. He had to complete the task given by his father.

The purpose of having him guard the gate here is to prevent people who shouldn't enter from entering.

So should the prince go in or not?

Just as he was thinking about it, the prince's men were approaching.

Li Shen had no time to think at this moment. The situation had reached a critical point. Li Shen was quick-witted and rushed to the front of the team with his Zhangba Snake Spear, shouting:

"Hey!!! I built this road and planted this tree. If you want to pass through here, you have to leave money for passage."

Damn, Prince Ji is crazy.
