After Wang Xuance and Wang Hongfu heard Li Shen's words, they knew something was wrong in Lingnan by looking at Li Shen's face, so Wang Xuance asked:

"Your Majesty, did something happen to the fifth prince?"

Li Shen did not speak, but handed the letter in his hand to Wang Xuance. Wang Xuance looked incredulously after taking it.

Later, it was passed to Wang Hongfu, who was also surprised after reading it.

"Xuance, why didn't we receive the information?" Li Shen asked without looking back.

"Back to my lord, Lingnan and other places are still not fully developed, and our shops and newspapers haven't arrived there yet. Especially places like the Guangzhou Dudu Mansion."

Wang Xuance knew that King Ji was angry, so Wang Xuance explained carefully.

Even though Prince Ji was usually aloof and smiling all day long, the prince was the prince, and everyone in Prince Ji's palace knew that this prince had a dark heart.

Li Shen nodded after hearing this. He also knew that Lingnan was called a smog-stricken place, and the reason why no intelligence was arranged was because there was nothing to report.

But this time it gave him a warning.

"Xuan Ce, do you know who this Dang Renhong is? He is so bold." Li Shen asked.

It turns out that the second half of Li You's letter to Li Shen was a report letter, which detailed the corruption and perversion of the law by Dang Renhong, the governor of the Guangzhou Governor's Mansion.

After serving as the governor of Guangzhou, he was greedy for pleasure, bought and sold officials, and lived in a fish and meat village. His men kill people and buy goods, and do all kinds of evil.

According to Li You, he estimated that the amount of corruption committed by Dang Renhong would be at least hundreds of thousands of guan, or even millions of guan.

If it is true, then this is huge corruption, and the largest corruption case in Zhenguan was born.

"Back to the prince, this Dang Renhong seems to be a general from the former Sui Dynasty. Later, Emperor Gaozu raised an army and he led his people to submit to Emperor Gaozu.

Then he followed His Majesty to pacify the four directions and made great contributions. He was granted the title of Duke of Guangdu. I heard that Emperor Gaozu and His Majesty held him in high esteem.

He served as governor and governor of several states. "

Wang Xuance also told Li Shen what he knew. Over the years, he had collected a lot of information about princes and nobles.

"Alas~~" Li Shen sighed and said with some regret:

"What a pity. This is a minister who has done great service to me, Li Tang, and now he is like this. He is greedy by nature. It seems that his life is not long."

Wang Hongfu asked with some confusion:

"Your Majesty, what can I say? We are the only ones who know about this matter now. If Dang Renhong operates well, nothing will happen to him.

No matter how you say it, he is a duke and a hero, and the court will not sentence him to death. "

"What do you know? He is proud of himself, and he has been absent from the court for a long time. There are also factions in the court. Since he is no one, he should just do business.

These crimes, coupled with the amount of corruption he committed, are punishable by death according to law.

Do you think that even Fifth Brother can know this news? Do the people in the Guangzhou Governor's Office know that Dang Renhong is now in office, and when he is transferred, someone will definitely report him. "

Li Shen told the two of them that this kind of thing is like this, and it is not that Li Shen has never encountered it.

"Then Prince, what should we do? This matter has nothing to do with us." Wang Xuance asked.

Li Shen thought for a while,

"The matter has nothing to do with me, but the money has something to do with me. What I hate most are people who are corrupt and bend the law. What's more, he actually bullies the people of Li Tang, and his men actually rob homes and kill people for goods?

This is really unreasonable. The Tang Dynasty will not allow anyone worse than this king to exist. "

Li Shen said fiercely, but his eyes were filled with the shadow of copper coins.

"Your Majesty, even if we want to intervene, we can't do it because Guangzhou is far away. Moreover, I am afraid that the news will be leaked. This Dang Renhong will take risks. I heard that he is both civil and military, and he is also good at controlling troops.

It would be very troublesome if he controlled the rebellion of the soldiers. "

Wang Xuance analyzed:

Li Shen thought for a while,

"Since even Fifth Brother knows about this matter, he probably won't keep it a secret for too long. However, I think it's better to let Aye talk to me. This Dang Renhong is also a hero no matter what, and Aye also thinks highly of me. I’m afraid it will be difficult for Aye to do it when the time comes.”

After Li Shen finished speaking, he asked people to pack up the fishing tools and prepare to enter the palace. This matter could be big or small. If Li Shimin didn't want Dang Renhong to die,

Then Li Shen must notify him in advance, otherwise hundreds of officials in the court will kill him, and Li Shimin will be in trouble.

Before leaving, Li Shen said to Wang Xuance:

"Xuan Ce, arrange for people to fill the vacancies in Lingnan and other places. Don't let things like today happen again."

After saying that, he turned around and got into the carriage.

Li Shen's intelligence system transmits information through newspapers and stores in various places, but he doesn't pay attention to everything.

Li Shen never paid attention to some officials who made small mistakes or were greedy. These were all matters of the court and had nothing to do with him.

As long as there is no big trouble, he still understands the principle that if the water is clear, there will be no fish.

An hour later, Li Shen arrived at the palace. After the announcement, Li Shen was taken into the Liangyi Palace.

At this time, Li Shimin was resting. Since Li Chengqian came back, Li Shimin's life has been as comfortable as possible.

"I have met Aye." Li Shen saluted.

"Well, what kind of wind brought you, a busy man, here today?" Li Shimin joked while drinking tea.

"Look what Aye said, don't I miss Aye?" Li Shen looked flattering.

"If you don't cause me any more trouble, you will show your respect to me. Tell me, what are you doing here this time?" Li Shimin remained unmoved.

After fighting for so many years, do you still not understand this son?

Li Shen was speechless. Is his image like this now? There will be no room for it to collapse in the future.

Li Shen took out Li You's letter from his arms and handed it over and said:

"Aye, this is the letter from the fifth brother to you. There is one thing in it that requires Aye to decide."

"Oh? A letter from Lao Wu?" Li Shimin was a little curious. Li You had indeed done well in Lingnan in the past two years, which made Li Shimin very happy.

There is no unfilial son in any family, as long as he can correct it in time.

Li Shimin took the letter and read it while drinking tea.

The previous content made Li Shimin relax his brows and smile. Although his son made mistakes, he just needs to live well now.

But then, Li Shimin's brows began to frown, and his face became increasingly ugly, and his eyes were filled with murderous intent.

"You bastard, there's no reason for this." Li Shimin cursed angrily. The teacup in his hand was about to fall to the ground.

Li Shen, with quick eyes and quick hands, took a step forward.

"Aye, Aye, calm down, Teacup is innocent." Li Shen hugged Li Shimin's arm,

This is his old treasure, a Xing kiln white porcelain tea set. Priceless, this is the only one in the world now.

(Class: stand up

This Dang Renhong did have his own person, and he was the founding hero of the Tang Dynasty. But sexual greed.

This incident actually happened in 642. Dang Renhong was reported after he left the Dudu Mansion in Guangzhou. Historical records show that he had embezzled more than 100 million yuan.

But I didn't say whether it was money or sex. The author probably chose sex for the sake of the plot.

At that time, he was sentenced to death by the Dali Division. He reported to Li Shimin five times and sentenced Dang Renhong to execution.

Li Shimin was very sad. He didn't want Dang Renhong to die, so he called for a meeting of officials above the fifth rank and said:

This law must not be abolished, but if I still want to forgive him, this is beyond heaven.

So, I will take the punishment for him,

Li Shimin made a shabby straw mat the next day and knelt in the southern suburbs for three days, eating only one vegetarian meal a day. Come and apologize for three days.

In the end, Dang Renhong was exempted from the death penalty, reduced his official position to the people, and moved to Qinzhou
