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

The most taboo thing for a superior is to conceal something and not report it. This is deception and betrayal of the superior.

Wang Xuance was in charge of one-third of the power of Prince Ji's palace, and his importance was far higher than that of Wang Hongfu and Xue Rengui.

When Li Shen is away, Wang Xuance can issue orders on behalf of Li Shen, but Wang Hongfu and Xue Rengui cannot.

This is enough to show how much Li Shen trusts Wang Xuance.

But now what Wang Xuance said was not reported to Li Shen at all. Li Shen had to doubt Wang Xuance's loyalty.

Li Shen is a person who is afraid of death, and those who follow him must be his die-hard loyalists.

He looked at Wang Xuance coldly, wanting to hear his explanation. He didn't mind removing Wang Xuance from his team.

Even if there is something wrong, Li Shen will kill him on the spot without hesitation.

Wang Xuance felt Li Shen's cold gaze. He knew that King Ji was angry and began to have doubts about him.

If the answer is not good and the reason is not sufficient, you will definitely be punished.

"Your Majesty, after I caught these details, I handed over the person and the confession to one place."

"Where?" Li Shen asked without changing his expression.

"Li Jingmen."

"Lijingmen?" Li Shen's expression changed, and he looked at Wang Xuance for a long time before asking:

"Where is Lijingmen? Does it sound so familiar?"

Li Shen thought for a long time but couldn't think of this familiar name.

Just when Wang Xuance was about to explain, Li Shen suddenly slapped his thigh.

"I remembered it, isn't this Lijing Gate the west gate of Luoyang Imperial City?

It is the passage between Ziwei City and Shangyang Palace. Is this the king right? "

"The prince is right, but the one I mentioned is called Li Jingmen, which is different from the Li Jingmen the prince mentioned." Wang Xuance nodded.

"Why is it different?"

"Back to your lord, this Lijing Sect is an organization under His Majesty's control. When I caught the first person, I was going to hand him over to the government after trial.

At this time, a man came. He showed me his belt badge, His Majesty's token, and also took out the imperial edict.

Let the ministers hand over the people to them.

I obeyed the will and handed the person over to them. "When Wang Xuance told this, Li Shen suddenly interrupted.

"Are you sure the imperial edict is true? What if it is false? You also said that these people are all meticulous.

What if they forged the edict? "

"Your Majesty, I am sure that the imperial edict is true." Wang Xuance said with certainty.

"Fart, I've seen that jade seals can be imitated. You don't want to think of His Majesty's handwriting.

His Majesty's handwriting can also be imitated, and the little girl Sizi can imitate His Majesty's handwriting.

None of this is evidence. "

Li Shen immediately retorted that the jade seal can be carved as long as there is time, and it is not a big deal for foreigners.

It doesn’t matter if you find out.

Not to mention the handwriting, Si Zi copied his father's Fei Bai style very accurately.

Even the ministers of the three provinces have difficulty distinguishing between true and false.

Li Shen has watched spy dramas frequently, and advanced spy dramas are not a problem.

After Li Shen finished speaking, Wang Xuance did not panic at all, but calmly said to Li Shen:

"Your Majesty, I am sure this is not because of the imperial edict, but because of this person.

This person should be very familiar to the prince, he is the eunuch in charge of his majesty - Wang De. "

"What the hell! Wang De? It's this old guy." Li Shen stood up in surprise and cursed.

If it were Wang De, there would be nothing to say.

Li Shimin trusted Wang De more than anyone else. After all, he was someone he could trust with his life.

Li Shen really didn't expect that this old Wang had other identities. He knew that Li Shimin must have an intelligence organization in his hands.

Even he knew the importance of information, not to mention his father was an emperor.

Regarding Wang De and Li Shen, they only knew that he used to be a personal guard of the Prince of Qin's Mansion, and he personally protected Li Shimin's safety, just like Tieniu.

I heard that when Li Shimin went to the battlefield, he was protected by these personal guards, otherwise Li Shimin would have died long ago.

However, after the war was won, only Wang De survived. Li Shimin became the emperor, and Wang De was willing to become a eunuch and continue to serve around him.

It was also when Wang De was injured, otherwise he would definitely be promoted to a high official or something.

Thinking about it this way, it is reasonable for Li Shimin to hand over the organization in his hands to Wang De.

On the surface, there is Baiqisi, but now there is Lijingmen.

Li Shen guessed that this Li Jingmen should be a spy organization, responsible for intelligence collection, assassination and other tasks.

However, Li Shen quickly reacted and asked:

"Even if it was some kind of Li Jingmen, why didn't you report it to me after the incident?" This is the key point.

Even if it is a secret organization, since he dares to show up, it means that he is not afraid of knowing.

"Your Majesty, this is the oral message from Mr. Wang to His Majesty. At that time, Your Majesty was still young and carefree, concentrating on enjoying the glory and wealth.

It is better not to let the prince know too much about your majesty's spoken words, so as not to affect the prince's state of mind and only increase his troubles.

When the prince grows up and serves the country in the future, it will not be too late to find out.

The prince was only twelve or thirteen years old at the time. I felt that what Mr. Wang said was reasonable. I didn’t want these things to disturb the prince’s life. "

"puff"

When Wang Xuance said this, he knelt down and worshiped at Li Shen's feet.

"Your Majesty is very kind to me. If it weren't for Your Majesty, I don't know what would have happened if I was still in Honglu Temple.

Two of my former colleagues have become officials, and they are both lay officials like me.

The prince has great trust in me and takes good care of me. Everyone in the clan says that I followed the right prince.

The prince is as kind as a mountain to me, and I am loyal to the prince without any second thoughts.

If ordered, I am willing to die. "

Wang Xuance knelt on the ground and cried bitterly. Li Shen couldn't stand it in an instant.

Li Shen was indeed very good to Wang Xuance, or he was even better to the three giants under him.

In addition to trust, there are many substantive things, such as status, and the focus is still on material giving.

Wang Xuance was a fourth-rank official, and his salary for one year was equivalent to that of a prime minister for ten years.

Not to mention he also has thousands of acres of farmland and a mansion.

The rules of Prince Ji's Mansion are only salary and no salary, and the wages paid are all real money.

Unlike other places where rice, cloth, etc. are distributed.

Li Shen simply distributed the money, which he thought would save trouble.

Looking at Wang Xuance crying at his feet, Li Shen was a little overwhelmed. He was a little uncomfortable with such a big man kneeling and crying in front of him.

People in ancient times really didn’t understand this. What was there to cry about? Wouldn't it be nice to explain it clearly?

Although he chose Your Majesty between himself and Your Majesty, Li Shen felt that this was human nature.

Li Shen did not require these people to follow him in rebellion.

"Okay, get up. After all, you are both civil and military. How can you cry so unbecomingly that outsiders will think that this king has done something to you?"

Li Shen gave Shitou a look, and Shitou stepped forward and helped Wang Xuance up.

(First, I looked up the Lijingmen organization, and some said it existed, and some said it was fictitious.

I searched for a long time, but found no clues from formal historical materials.

But for the sake of the plot, just let it be.

It's a pity that I didn't find out that there was a mysterious organization in the Tang Dynasty.

The bad guys are not a mysterious organization. They are people with bad records who are recruited to serve as minor officials and are responsible for the investigation and arrest work, so they are called bad guys, also called bad guys.

Some book friends asked me why there is no Yuan Tiangang. Let me give a positive answer. The New Book of Tang Dynasty records that Yuan Tiangang died in the eighth year of Zhenguan, in 635 AD. Li Shen was born in the second year of Zhenguan.

Second, there are two Lijing Gates in history, one in the Sui Dynasty and one in the Jin and Ming Dynasties. Please check it yourself.

The meeting adjourned. )
