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

As soon as Zhang Xingcheng finished speaking, the hall was completely silent for a moment.

This is the truth, but if you can't say it out loud, wouldn't it affect the friendship between His Majesty and his son?

And why do you think His Majesty brought the Crown Prince with him? There is a lot to say in this.

You must know that Prince Li Chengqian is twenty-seven years old this year.

He is no longer the immature prince he used to be. There are some things that everyone knows but cannot say.

Li Shimin looked at Zhang Xingcheng expressionlessly, and Zhang Xingcheng had a righteous look on his face. Suddenly Li Shimin smiled.

"Hahahaha, Zhang Aiqing is indeed a loyal and good general. What you said is true. I can't just care about personal relationships.

The visitor issued an order to confer Zhang Aiqing with the title of Doctor Yinqing Guanglu. I hope you will assist the prince well in the future. "

"Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty." Zhang Xingcheng hurriedly thanked him.

Others are also quite envious of this. Doctor Yinqing Guanglu is from the third rank, although it is only an official title, a casual official.

But it is true that from the third-grade treatment, Zhang Xingchen was originally a fourth-grade official in the Prince's Palace, and he was promoted to one level just because of one sentence. It was really a blessing.

"Then the prince will be left to supervise the country, and all my dear friends will assist the prince." Li Shimin smiled.

"Your Majesty, I heard that His Royal Highness Prince Ji has returned to Beijing. Your Majesty will wait for Prince Ji to come back before making a decision." Fang Xuanling was very resourceful and did not force him to persuade at all, but adopted roundabout tactics.

Sure enough, Li Shimin hesitated immediately when he heard that King Ji was back, but soon his face was filled with anger.

"You bastard, this treacherous son is the Protector of the Great Protectorate and has important responsibilities. He actually returned to the capital without an order.

You don't take the rules seriously at all. It seems that I have to punish you. "

The ministers didn't speak. They all knew it well and were watching Li Shimin's performance.

Didn’t you know that King Ji returned to the capital? Why don't I believe it so much?

Even Cheng Yaojin and Yuchi Jingde, who came in later, rolled their eyes.

Ma Zhou and others were speechless.

Your Majesty was afraid that they would impeach King Ji, so he first explained the guilt and also said that he would personally punish him.

Even if people like me want to impeach, they can't speak up.

It is indeed a crime for the border general to return to Beijing without an edict, but Li Shen is a prince, and this is a special case.

King Ji was a transcendent existence in the court, or a dispensable existence.

It seems that His Majesty still loves this son very much.

Li Shimin saw that his goal was achieved, so he pretended to ponder for a moment and then said:

"My dear friends, you are right. I will wait for the news to come back from the north before making a decision. However, I have to take action in Lingzhou."

"Stone, stone, where have we been?"

Li Shen has been out for more than ten days. Because Li Shen was afraid that the speed would be too bumpy, he marched very slowly.

"Back to the prince, we have arrived at Longzhou Mansion." The sound of stones came from outside.

"Oh, I went to Longzhou Prefecture to buy some spices and the like. I didn't eat well all the way."

Li Shen complained that it was just meat all day long, and Li Shen almost vomited after eating.

"Your Majesty, why don't we go into the city and have a meal." Shitou suggested.

Li Shen heard that it was fine. He had to stay anyway, so why not go into the city to have something to eat before leaving.

His eyes lit up now when he saw something green.

Half a day later, Li Shen's team arrived at the gate of Longzhou City. Li Shen ordered them to set up camp and rest for one night before heading out tomorrow.

And he entered Longzhou City with a hundred personal guards, Wang Xuance, Xue Rengui and others.

Longzhou City is not far from Chang'an, and it is on the road to the Western Regions, so it is much more prosperous than other cities.

Occasionally you can see some businessmen from the Western Regions here.

Walking on the noisy and lively streets, Li Shen finally felt like Chang'an.

After staying in the northwest for so long, he almost forgot what the hustle and bustle of a big city was.

"Man, I don't want meat, I want green vegetables, everything." Li Shen entered the largest restaurant, went up to the second floor, sat down and started ordering.

At first, the waiter was a little disdainful when he heard that meat was not required. Seeing that he was dressed so elegantly, why couldn't he even order meat?

But the guy who asked for everything in the back immediately knew that his vision was low. He was tired of eating meat.

"Come, everyone, sit down, no outsiders."

Li Shen said to several servants.

Xue Rengui, Wang Xuance and Shitou Lan Yuer both sat down. Only Tieniu still stood behind Li Shen.

"Hey, have you heard that Zhang Qi was killed a few days ago?"

There were four or five businessmen sitting not far from Li Shen's table. At this moment, one of them was saying in a low voice,

"You just know? The government has solved the case. I heard that the murderer was arrested yesterday."

Li Shen liked to listen to gossip stories the most, so he immediately cheered up and listened.

"Really or not, you caught him so quickly?" one of them questioned.

"You don't believe it? Let me tell you, I am very familiar with the general guarding the gate here. He told me yesterday when we were drinking."

"Then tell me who you are talking about. Zhang Qi was a kind man. Who would have thought that he would be killed." One of them couldn't help but sigh.

"Then let me tell you, this matter is not simple." After the man finished speaking, he picked up the wine glass and took a sip.

Li Shen became even more interested when he heard that it was not easy.

Just listen to the man continue to say:

"I heard that there are three murderers in total, and their identities are unusual,"

"Why is it unusual?"

"I heard that these three people are the imperial guards." The man lowered his voice again.

"You really dare to talk nonsense. If this gets out, you will be slapped." One of them said in a tone full of distrust.

"Everything I said is true." The man quickly emphasized what he said.

But when Li Shen heard this, he frowned. Is it the Royal Forbidden Army, Nan Ya or Bei Ya?

Just as Li Shen was deep in thought, the waiter started serving the food. Li Shen turned around and said to the people at the table:

"I don't know who mentioned it just now, about the murder?"

Several people looked at Li Shen. He was young and frail, dressed in brocade, and had servants to serve him. At first glance, he was not an ordinary person.

Then one person spoke:

"The villain just talked nonsense and heard it from hearsay. Don't blame the noble man."

"Don't get me wrong, I was just passing by this place, and I just heard you guys talking about a murder that happened here, so I was just a little curious.

Since meeting is fate, why don't this gentleman come over and sit down and talk to a certain family. "Li Shen smiled,

"My lord, don't blame me. I heard it too, so I won't show off my shame. I have important matters to do, so I won't accompany you." After saying this, the man was about to leave.

He didn't want trouble to come out of his mouth.

Tieniu stepped forward and grabbed the man's arm, exerting a little force:

"My master asked you to come over and sit down."

"Oh, oh, my dear, please spare my life, my dear, spare my life." The man immediately felt severe pain in his arm after being held by Tieniu.

He quickly shouted for mercy.
