Zhenguan Xiaoxian Wang Li Shen Li Shimin

(This book has been signed and will not be appended. As a bonus, I will update three chapters with more than 8000 words today, which is equivalent to four and a half chapters.)

The next day, Wei Renji brought Wei Ting to Prince Ji's Mansion. After the concierge informed them, they were taken to the front hall. After a quarter of an hour, Li Shen arrived belatedly.

"Please take a seat, please." Li Shen politely asked the two of them to sit down and then continued: "Have you prepared everything this time? Or are you prepared to carry it to the end?"

The two of them didn't expect that Li Shen would be so direct when he came up, and the words he had prepared were no longer needed.

However, the two of them were also experienced and were just stunned for a moment. Wei Renji said: "His Royal Highness King Ji. We can give you things, but no matter what, we are a family.

The imperial concubine will never be separated from us. By helping us, you are also helping the imperial concubine. I hope His Highness Prince Ji can raise his noble hand and find a way to release Wei Yuanzheng. "Wei Renji also wants to keep Wei Yuanzheng.

After all, Wei Yuanzheng was a governor, and even if he was dismissed, he would still be used in the future. But if the evidence of the crime is confirmed, it will be difficult to use it in the future, and the Wei family will lose an important member of the party.

"A family? Hahahaha, you participated in the assassination of my king, and you still told me that you are a family? I didn't take the opportunity to eradicate your Wei family, I did it for the sake of my mother. You still have the nerve to tell me family?

Wei Ting, if it weren't for my mother's sake, you would be the first person I would get rid of. "When Li Shen heard what Wei Renji said, the whole family thought it was ridiculous.

When Wei Ting heard Li Shen's words, he couldn't help but feel a tremor in his heart when he saw the way Li Shen looked at him.

"His Royal Highness Prince Ji, we can give you what you want to say. It's not too much to exchange for Wei Yuanzheng, right?" Wei Renji continued.

"Haha, do you mean that my life is so worthless? Let me tell you, your things are not exchanged for Wei Yuanzheng, but to protect your own lives. Do you want me to show you the list of people in your Wei family? How many people are there?

At this time, you are still playing tricks on me and telling me these unrealistic fantasies. In this case, there is no need for us to continue talking.

Just wait for Wei Yuanzheng to confess in the Ministry of Punishment, and then I will see how your Wei family will die. Wealth will send guests off." After that, Li Shen got up and went directly back to the back house, ignoring Wei Renji and the other two who were stunned.

The two of them never expected that Li Shen would behave so radically, and they refused to talk about it. Shouldn't negotiation be a back and forth between you and me?

You ask for a high price, and I pay you back on the ground. But Li Shen didn't follow common sense at all and stopped talking about it.

"Your Highness King Ji, Your Highness King Ji." Wei Renji anxiously shouted twice to Li Shen, but Li Shen left without looking back.

"You two, please come back," Wei Fugui said to the two of them. In the past, these two people were his masters and were unattainable.

Now that he has become the chief steward of Prince Li Shen's palace, the situation is different. As the saying goes, there are seven officials in front of the prime minister. Not everyone can offend the chief steward of the palace.

"I remember your name is Wei Fugui, right? Back then, your father served eldest brother Wei Yuancheng, and later you followed the imperial concubine. I didn't expect you to follow Prince Ji now. It's really hard for two generations of your family to serve eldest brother for three generations." Wei Renji recognized Wei Fugui.

"It's hard work. The old master saved my father's life. Later, the old master trusted me to serve my wife. Now my wife trusts me and lets me serve the young master. This is my blessing. The young master is in a bad mood today. I think you two should go back together." Wei Fugui deliberately called Concubine Wei Guifei and Madam Li Shen "little mistress" to make them sound closer to each other.

"Hey~ Fugui, I wonder if you can pass the message to us, saying that the prince's request is agreed to by the noble family. There are just some details that need to be discussed in detail with the prince." Wei Renji had no choice. How could he be so polite to a housekeeper normally? However, time is running out now, and the risk of Wei Yuanzheng's confession will be greater every day.

"Okay. For the sake of the Wei family, I will go and tell the little master. Whether it succeeds or not is up to the little master." Wei Fugui finally agreed to help and went to the back house.

After watching Wei Fugui leave, Wei Ting said to Wei Renji: "Fourth brother, you shouldn't have said that just now. Prince Ji is not an ordinary young man."

"Hey, I also want to keep a talented person in the Wei family. If we just admit defeat, Wei Yuanzheng will have a hard time Qifu in the future." Wei Renji also said helplessly.

"Don't think about Wei Yuanzheng now. He will definitely not be in danger if Wang Wan is there to protect him. Let Wang Wan talk to the queen in a few years. As long as the queen agrees, your majesty will definitely agree to continue to employ Wei Yuanzheng. We need to now What we are thinking about is how we will survive this time.”

Wei Ting, who has been practicing in official circles for a long time, certainly knows more than Wei Renji, the elder of the clan. He is also more thoughtful than him.

The two were talking about Wei Fugui's return. He said to the two of them: "Elder of the clan, the young master asked me to send a message, saying that you are very insincere, and he is very angry. We will not talk about it today, and let you go back and tell the aristocratic family that the conditions are [-] yuan per family. Agree tomorrow Keep talking, if you don’t agree, I’ll let you talk to His Majesty, the Forbidden Army, and the people of the world.”

"This..." Wei Renji was dumbfounded. This Li Shen is too dark. If the conditions are agreed upon, another [-] yuan will be added.

When the two came back from the palace, they sent someone to inform the noble families. There were eleven families involved in the matter this time.

But at night there were only ten houses including the Wei family. The Li family of Zhao County did not come. Those who heard the news said that they would no longer be involved in the matter, and that their patriarch was ready to go to the palace in person to explain to Li Shimin.

These aristocratic families don't care about the imperial power at all. But this time is different, this time things are too big. If Li Shimin got mad and used the army to purge his family regardless of the turmoil in the Tang Dynasty, there would be nothing they could do.

This is what literati are like, they are never afraid of reasonable people. What they fear most is unreasonable people.

"This is what happened. King Ji went back on his promise and temporarily increased the price. I wonder what you think." Wei Renji did not talk about his conversation with Li Shen, but said that Li Shen suddenly increased the price.

However, everyone is not a fool. The first person to speak was Wang Weiqi, "I just want to know why King Ji temporarily increased the price. What did you say to him today."

As far as I know, although King Ji is cunning, he has never broken his promise. One thing he often says is that you need to be honest when doing business. Things can be expensive but cannot be fake. So I think there is something you are not saying." Wang Wei's sharp analysis was approved by the other eight companies.

"Yes, what exactly did you say to him?"

"Prince Ji is quite honest. Besides, he made the conditions first. It is impossible to change them temporarily. Unless he is angry."

Everyone said something to me. He actually guessed things very accurately.

"Everyone, don't worry about why the price has been increased. Now do you agree to the price increase? King Ji has said it. He wants us to decide quickly, otherwise we have to talk to His Majesty. Talk to the Forbidden Army. Talk to the people of the world." Wei Ting stood up. said

"Hmph, originally this matter should have been settled peacefully. But when you went to negotiate, you added conditions. I also doubt whether you are conspiring with King Ji to deliberately blackmail us." Cui Renzhi snorted coldly.

"That's nonsense. We also want to pay more. How could it be possible that we are deliberately blackmailing you." Wei Ting retorted immediately after hearing what Cui Renzhi said.

"Your Wei family went to discuss this matter, and your Wei family should be responsible for the result. Anyway, my Zheng family will not pay these [-] yuan."

"I won't leave the Cui family either."

"My Xiao family doesn't have that much money"

"My Yang family doesn't have anything like that"
