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

When someone called out that King Ji was here, all the literati looked towards Li Shen.

I saw Li Shen walking in a square step, chanting a rosary made of red sandalwood in one hand, with little gold stars twinkling in the sun.

There are four ropes in the other hand, and four ferocious dogs are tied to the ends of the ropes.

Wearing a purple gown, with an ancient jade hanging on his waist, a pair of wooden clogs under his feet made a clicking sound with his footsteps.

Li Shen walked in front of the scholar, and the crowd automatically parted, making way for Li Shen.

Li Shen entered the imperial city in full view of everyone, and the one hundred personal guards he brought behind him lined up in a row, blocking the imperial city gate neatly.

Just when everyone was wondering what King Ji was doing, Li Shen was already standing on the tower of Zhuque Gate.

After going up, Li Shen was stunned, "Oh, I'll go, there are so many people."

At a glance, there were at least a thousand people here. No wonder his father was unwilling to send troops to suppress them. There were too many people.

Passing the rope in his hand to the stone, Li Shen raised his hand and waved it downwards, then suddenly roared.

"What exactly do you want to do? Are you going to rebel?"

The first step is to put the hat on, no matter what, I will give you a hat first and talk about other things. For these scholars who are born only to leave a name after death.

"Rebellion" is obviously the most lethal to scholars. The more peaceful and prosperous the times, the more people despise rebellion.

The scholars below were shocked by Li Shen's voice, and suddenly an edict from the Imperial College stood up.

"Your Highness Prince Ji, we are not treason, we are just petitioning for the souls of those who died unjustly. The petition has been handed in."

"Humph, does the petition require the siege of the imperial city? Since the petition has been submitted, it must first go through the Zhongshu Province, and then be forwarded to the Menxia Province, and the Menxia Province will then forward it to His Majesty.

What do you think of you as the imperial edict? Don’t you even understand this rule? "

Li Shen looked down from a high position and snorted coldly as he looked at the Imperial Academy Master who was speaking.

"This..." Li Shen's words left him speechless. Indeed, there is a process for writing memorials.

"Now the world is at peace and the people live and work in peace and contentment. Why is this? This is because Your Majesty is working hard and working day and night just to make the people of the world live a good life.

Your Majesty has been working hard on this for twenty years. Even if he is suffering from illness, he is not willing to delay the government.

You should leave as soon as possible after you submit the memorial. How can we bear to disturb His Majesty? Are you sure that your majesty will not be able to concentrate on running the country?

Aren't you afraid of being cast aside by the people in this world? "Li Shen stood on the tower, his voice was loud and could be heard far away.

After hearing Li Shen's words, many people watching the excitement began to whisper to each other and point at the literati on the street.

In the hearts of the people, Li Shimin was indeed a good emperor, especially the people of Gyeonggi Province. They received the most favors from the emperor and lived the best life.

The teachers and students of the Imperial College who were taking the lead below looked at King Ji on the tower and were speechless for a moment.

I thought to myself: This King Nima Ji is too cruel. Who can handle this big hat? The point is still the rejection of the people of the world.

I originally wanted to leave my name in history, but I didn't fix it and it will be infamy for thousands of years.

Although the literati who came with him were also very angry, they could not refute any of King Ji's questions.

Li Shen looked down and felt that the heat was about the same, so his tone became kind again.

"Dear disciples, I understand your mood. Why am I not angry or angry?

But the state has national laws, families have family rules, and the court must also act according to the rules. You are all the future pillars of my Tang Dynasty.

You must believe in the imperial court and have confidence in the imperial court.

The imperial court is going all out to investigate this matter, and will definitely get to the bottom of this matter and bring justice to the deceased.

I will respond to the people's calls, and I will do something to the people's expectations.

Our Majesty the Emperor has always believed that the people's hearts should follow the will of the people, and the country will be safe and peaceful; the officials' hearts will be concerned about the people, and all industries will be prosperous.

Thinking wholeheartedly about the people and making them richer.

As the pillars of the country, what you should do is that everyone in the world should work hard and work hard for the king, so that they can feel at ease.

Let us work together to create a more prosperous and powerful Datang that will be resounding throughout the world.

Long live the Tang Dynasty! "Li Shen raised his hands and looked up to the sky, shouting loudly.

"Long live the Tang Dynasty! Long live the Tang Dynasty!" More than a hundred personal guards from Prince Ji's Mansion under the city followed closely behind.

"Long live the Tang Dynasty! Long live the Tang Dynasty! Long live the Tang Dynasty!"

Then many common people and scholars joined in. In the end, everyone was infected and shouted in unison, "Long live the Tang Dynasty."

"Okay, done." Li Shen breathed a sigh of relief.

If something happened to so many people, he, the prince, couldn't afford it, and even the beatings would be light.

After the crowd's excitement subsided, Li Shen's tone turned to sadness.

“Dear teachers and students, I feel deeply sorry for Ma Hu’s plight, and I deeply hate the unequal treatment he received.

Alas~~~This is all my fault. Li Shen said this with a tone full of self-blame.

Everyone below also showed doubts, wondering what this had to do with King Ji. They only heard Li Shen continue to say:

"It's all because of me that Careless suffered this. If I hadn't gone to buy Careless's spices at a high price that day,

Maybe Sloppy won't be killed. At that time, I was young and vigorous. The spices were originally worth 400,000 guan, but I was so competitive that I spent 800,000 guan on it.

Otherwise, it would not have caused misfortune in the end. If the king's people had not done things poorly on the second day and there was no deal, Careless would not necessarily have died tragically. "

Li Shen raised his hand and wiped the corners of his eyes.

"Your Highness Prince Ji, this matter has nothing to do with you. It is all the oppression of those powerful people." Someone suddenly shouted in the crowd.

"Yes, they are all those powerful people. They clearly have a contract of 800,000 guan, but they insist on giving 400,000 guan."

"Who says it's not the case, but there is nothing we can do about it. We have no power and can only fight."

"Resist? What's the point of fighting? In the end, I didn't get a penny, and I died as a guest in a foreign country."

The crowd below began to discuss, all targeting the Aspirational Chamber of Commerce.

The corner of Li Shen's mouth curled up, and he immediately showed a sad look and shouted:

"Dear pillars of the country, after the death of Ma Hu, one of his fellow countrymen gave me a letter. In addition to the letter, there was also a contract.

The letter said that if anything happens to him, he begs the king to ask for money for him, and then send it back to Fuzhou to distribute it to his partners in partnership.

The rest is entrusted to the king and sent to his wife and children. What a kind and righteous man this is.

In the past few days, every time the king thinks that Sloppy may have died because of me, I can’t sleep at night and my food is tasteless.

When you close your eyes, you can see Ma Hu's miserable look praying to me.

Today, under the witness of all of you, I have decided to do this, to recover the money for Ma Hu, and to comfort Ma Hu's spirit in heaven.

The Qingding Chamber of Commerce failed to fulfill the contract and wanted to pay compensation at a low price. This is a breach of contract. According to the contract, one should be refunded and three should be compensated.

This time, I, together with all of you, will seek justice for Ma Hu. We will make the powerful pay the price and let them see what it means to be a proud scholar. "

"Ask for justice~! Seek for justice~! Seek for justice~! Seek for justice~!"
