Zhenguan Xiaoxian Wang Li Shen Li Shimin

The Huangmen Shilang belonged to the Menxia Province and became the adjutant of the Menxia Province, that is, the Langguan who worked within the palace gate. He was the emperor's closest servant and could convey imperial edicts.

When Wang Xuance mentioned Li Shen, the Minister of Huangmen, he remembered that Chu Suiliang had indeed mentioned this name to him that day.

He didn't expect that Huangmen Shilang was actually a close minister of the emperor. No wonder Li Shimin believed in Chu Suiliang so much.

"Your Majesty, how do you plan to handle this matter? Your Majesty believes in the villain's slander. Even if Ma Zhou testifies, it will not help."

Wang Xuance was also a little embarrassed. This matter is indeed difficult to handle.

"If I think about it, it's not difficult to protect Liu Ji. All I need to do is plead for mercy. What's difficult is how to get Chu Suiliang involved.

Accuse him of falsely accusing a minister, even if he is not punished, he will lose his prestige in front of His Majesty. "

Li Shen stepped into the interior of the carriage and began to think, and then...

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty,"

"Uh-huh?"

"The prince has arrived in Chang'an." Wang Xuance reminded him. He did not expect that his prince fell asleep after lying down.

"Ah, oh, well, let's go to the palace, and I will go meet this Chu Suiliang for a while."

Li Shen sat up, refreshed and said.

Soon the carriage stopped at the gate of the imperial city. Li Shen got off the carriage, yawned, straightened his clothes, and led his servants into the palace.

At this moment, several important ministers gathered in the Liangyi Hall. Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Ma Zhou, etc.

Li Shimin sat on top and Liu Ji knelt on the bottom, crying freely.

"Your Majesty, I have been wronged. I have never said this. It was Chu Suiliang who framed me."

"Your Majesty, there is absolutely no need to say what I said. I have no intersection with Liu Jie and have no grudges. Why do you want to frame him?" Chu Suiliang said righteously.

Li Shimin's face was as dark as water, and he did not allow any possibility of affecting the prince.

"Your Majesty, Ma Zhongshu can testify for me. I have not said that when I went to visit your Majesty that day, I went with Ma Zhongshu."

Liu Ji explained to Li Shimin.

"Your Majesty, it is indeed true. I can testify that Liu Shizhong never said those words." Ma Zhou stood up and said.

"Oh, just because he hasn't said enough to Ma Zhongshu doesn't mean that he hasn't said this to anyone else." Chu Suiliang chuckled.

"Liu Jie, you are supposed to be a minister, but why did you do what Huo Guang did and didn't take the imperial power in your eyes? Are you prepared to override my royal family?

Or are you planning to be like Dong Zhuo and eventually replace him? "

Li Shimin asked in a deep voice,

Since ancient times, what emperors fear most is that future generations will not be able to secure their throne.

"Your Majesty, I was wronged!~" Liu Ji fell to the ground and cried bitterly.

None of the other important ministers dared to come forward to plead for mercy. These people were all fine people, and trivial matters didn't matter. If they came out to plead for such a big thing, they might get involved.

Li Shimin already had a plan in mind, and he would kill even a thousand people without missing a single one.

The ministers below looked at Li Shimin's serious look and roughly guessed what would happen next. Everyone felt sad for Liu Ji.

Just when Li Shimin was about to issue an order, a eunuch walked in from outside.

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness Prince Ji is outside seeking an audience."

The tense atmosphere condensed for a moment and then dissipated in an instant.

"Let in." Li Shimin ordered. He didn't know why Li Shen came at this time. Is there something going on?

In a moment, Li Shen swaggered into the hall, taking one step at a time, looking like a playboy, and all he needed was a pair of walnuts and a bird cage.

"I've seen Aye." Li Shen walked to the front and saluted Li Shimin as if he hadn't seen Liu Ji kneeling on the ground.

Li Shimin was very angry when he saw Li Shen acting like a playboy. How could he act like a street gangster like the prince.

So he didn't give him a good look and said:

"You came to see me, but what's the matter?"

Li Shen instantly changed into a dog-legged look, with a flattering smile on his face.

"Knock on what Aye said, don't you miss Aye? Aye never came to visit when he returned to the palace, which is really unfilial.

I came here specifically to visit Aye today to congratulate Aye on his recovery. "

Li Shimin's expression softened a little after hearing Li Shen's words. It is only natural for a son to be filial to me.

"Well, I know that you are filial. Now that I have recovered as before, you don't have to worry. You can go back to Daji Hall to visit the noble concubine when you have time."

"I will follow Aye's teachings." Li Shen agreed.

"If you have other things to do, go ahead." Li Shimin waved his hand.

"Aye, there is one more thing, I hope Aye will allow it." Li Shen started to talk nonsense again,

In fact, when Li Shen first came in, he saw Liu Ji kneeling on the ground. How could such a big living person not see him?

Looking at Li Shimin's face, you can tell that Li Shimin is very angry now because of Liu Jie's matter. Judging from the atmosphere on the court, it should have reached the point of announcing the verdict.

As a future generation, Li Shen certainly knows that nothing he says now will help. He has to destroy the atmosphere of the scene first.

After calming down Li Shimin's current angry mood, Li Shen could achieve his goal.

Many things are decided out of anger or impulsiveness, and many of them will be regretted later when things calm down.

That's why Li Shen was rambling here and there to divert Li Shimin's attention.

Sure enough, Li Shimin frowned after hearing Li Shen's words. He could not easily agree to his son's request.

So he said:

"Then you tell me first and listen. If it's not a big deal, I can promise you."

After hearing this, Li Shen's face showed joy and he said quickly:

"Aye, it's not a big deal, I'm just short of money. I asked Aye for some money to spend."

"What did you say?" Li Shimin suddenly became more energetic,

Other ministers were also surprised by Li Shen's words. King Ji was too bold and dared to directly ask for money from His Majesty.

Li Shen didn't care at all.

"I don't have any money to spend, so I want to ask Aye for some small money to spend. Otherwise, Yuan Zheng might not be able to survive."

Li Shimin was so angry that your Prince Ji's Mansion was so rich, yet you still said you had no money and asked me for money.

Why is it that now that I can't deceive you, I'm asking for it openly?

"Then tell me, how much money do you want?"

"Hmm~~~" Li Shen pretended to start thinking and counted on his fingers for a while.

"Aye, one million yuan is almost enough."

"Get out~~" Li Shimin shouted angrily.

"Hey?~~~Aye, why is this? Children from other families outside will ask Aye for money when they have no money.

You ask the house minister, Tang Shangshu and others. Sun Chong, the eldest son of the family, even asked Sister Li Zhi for money.

If you don’t believe me, ask Zhao Guogong, uncle, if what I said is right. "Li Shen finally asked Duke Zhao.

"Ahem..Yes..Yes." Zhao Guogong actually didn't want to answer, but His Majesty was here and he couldn't say anything else.

It was true that Changsun Chong was spending Princess Changle's money, and he didn't dare to say no in front of Li Shimin.

"Look, what I said is right. They all asked Aye for money. When I left the palace at the age of nine, I was self-reliant and self-sufficient.

Because Aye taught us that as royal children, we should consider the court and practice it, so I never received any salary and left it all to the court.

But now there are many people in Prince Ji's house and the expenses are high, so I thought of asking Aye for some small money to survive. "Li Shen said pitifully.
