I am Li Shen and Li Shimin, the free kings of the Tang Dynasty

Wang Xuance analyzed it carefully, and then continued:

"My lord, I feel that your majesty is not necessarily here for the prince, at least not mainly for the prince.

Perhaps His Majesty just wanted to inspect the important cities of Qinghai Road.

After all, the geographical location here is very important, as it is the throat of Tubo.

His Majesty will go to the western border every six months or a year to inspect the garrison and examine the public sentiment. It is reasonable to come to Qinghai Road this time.

It’s better that the prince doesn’t have to worry too much. "

After hearing this, Li Shen felt that what Wang Xuance said did make some sense.

Ever since he left Chang'an and ran back to Qinghai Road, he actually had some ideas in mind.

If his father was very angry and ordered someone to summon him back to Chang'an, he would have many excuses not to go back, such as pretending to be ill or being busy with work.

It can even be said that the enemy is discovered and so on.

But if Li Shimin sends a second imperial edict, then he will definitely go back.

He is not Yue Fei, so he cannot withstand the twelve imperial edicts.

His whole family is still in Chang'an, and all his property is also in Chang'an. He can't give his father an excuse to confiscate his house.

So if your father is really angry, just issue an order, there is no need to arrest him personally.

This journey is not that easy.

"I hope it's as you said. It would be best if His Majesty really comes to see the Qinghai capital.

Xuance, do you want me to leave my last words first and let my legitimate son Li Jue inherit the family business? "

Li Shen looked at Wang Xuance and asked seriously.

Wang Xuance was speechless again. Did King Ji suffer from another mental illness?

When I say pessimism, I am more pessimistic than anyone else. When I say optimism, I feel fine even if I put a knife on my neck.

Helpless, Wang Xuance continued to persuade:

“Your Majesty, even if Your Majesty comes here for you, Your Majesty, you will not take His life.

If you really want the prince's life, there is no need for your majesty to come in person. "

"Well, what you said makes sense. I shouldn't die."

Li Shen is the person who is most afraid of death.

Seeing that Li Shen's mood eased, Wang Xuance got down to business.

"Your Majesty, when your Majesty comes here, we must prepare in advance to avoid any accidents."

"Then what else are you preparing for? We have 50,000 elite soldiers here, and the ones following His Majesty are also elites. The Yulin Guards or the Nanya Imperial Guards are not comparable to ordinary soldiers.

Once we get here, even if the Tibetan and Western Turks come with an army of 200,000, they still won't be able to take it. What are we afraid of? "

Li Shen was not worried about this. Li Shimin would definitely take many people with him when he traveled far.

In addition, the Qinghai capital city was so strong and the city walls were tall, Li Shen firmly believed that it was impregnable.

"Your Majesty, the Qinghai capital is indeed rock solid, but what if we attack from within?" Wang Xuance reminded.

"You mean assassination? That's even more impossible. Outsiders are not allowed to enter the inner city, especially since the King's Protectorate is surrounded by our own people."

Li Shen shook his head. If he is so afraid of death, the Protectorate's Mansion is barely built to be isolated, so how could someone assassinate him.

"Your Majesty, your Majesty is here on inspection and cannot stay in the Protector's Mansion forever." Wang Xuance reminded helplessly.

Li Shen stared at Wang Xuance with big eyes, not understanding what he meant. The inspection tour could be reserved.

Moreover, not many people knew Li Shimin. As long as he came here dressed casually, no one would be able to recognize him.

Seeing Li Shen's appearance, Wang Xuance patiently explained:

"Your Majesty, our Tang Dynasty has fought six large-scale wars, destroying several countries and major tribes.

Now it looms large and looks down upon all nations. In the words of the prince, Chang'an City is the center of the world.

Envoys and businessmen from all over the world gathered together, making the country unprecedentedly strong and prosperous.

But there are various undercurrents hidden underneath. "

"Undercurrent is surging? What do you mean?" Li Shen asked seriously when Wang Xuance said that there was an undercurrent surging in Chang'an City.

"Your Majesty, according to Honglu Temple's rough estimate, the permanent population from outside the Tang Dynasty is at least 100,000.

This does not include the merchants who come and go. If we include the merchants who come and go, there must be three to four hundred thousand foreigners who have visited Chang'an City.

Among the settled population, 40,000 people came from various countries in the Western Region.

These people settled in Chang'an City with various identities and conducted long-term intelligence collection work on our Datang.

They spent a lot of money to bribe court officials, focusing on collecting military intelligence and some craftsmanship.

And His Majesty's whereabouts are also the focus of their collection.

Collecting His Majesty's travel patterns and waiting for opportunities to assassinate him will plunge the Tang Dynasty into turmoil. "

"What good will this do to them? The Western Region is so far away, and I, the Tang Dynasty, will not attack them."

Li Shen didn't understand.

The distance between the Western Region and the Tang Dynasty is really hundreds of thousands of miles, and it would take a year and a half to travel there.

"My lord, this is also a precautionary measure. Our Tang Dynasty has strong troops and horses and is invincible, so they are afraid.

Especially the Western Turks who are close to us, the Tiele tribes in the north, and Tibet.

They are always waiting for an opportunity.

Your Majesty came to Qinghai on this trip, and I believe they will be able to get the news, so Your Majesty, we have to be on guard.

If something happens to His Majesty here, we will be to blame. "

Wang Xuance said seriously.

"It's not that it's hard to take the blame, it's that I will die even if something happens to you. If something happens to His Majesty here, I will have no hope of survival except running to the Western Regions."

Li Shen said seriously.

No wonder there are always many people who object to Li Shimin's travels because they involve too much.

Opposing is just to avoid getting into trouble if something happens in the future.

At that time, it can be said that I was opposed to His Majesty’s travel. Did something happen?

"Huh? Xuance, why do you know this? Why don't I know this?"

Li Shen suddenly realized, why didn't he find this in Chang'an?

Chang'an City is so peaceful, and the most dangerous person in Chang'an City may be himself.

Such an exciting espionage drama, but I didn't even know about it for so many years.

"My lord, you have forgotten that I used to be from Honglu Temple. After following my lord, I have some people under my lord's trust.

Over the years, I have discovered several foreign secret works. They tried to sneak into the property of Prince Ji's Mansion and steal the secret recipe.

He also secretly inquired and bribed workshop owners and craftsmen.

Over the years, I have captured more than a dozen people and killed more than 20 people.

Some secrets were found out during the interrogation. They were all personnel sent by other countries to collect intelligence about our Datang. "

Wang Xuance reported truthfully. In these years, he had been in charge of the intelligence system of Prince Ji's Mansion and was also responsible for protecting Prince Ji's Mansion's industry.

People have always been concerned about the property of Prince Ji's Mansion, and it has never stopped.

Bribing people, infiltrating, coercing and inducement, all kinds of methods are available.

This is a society with incomplete laws, and you can do whatever it takes to achieve your goals.

"Why don't I know anything about what you said?"

Li Shen's face turned cold, his voice became longer, and he looked at Wang Xuance.
