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

Chapter 2040 Not a good person



Chapter 2040 Not a good person

After hearing what Li Junxian said, Li Shen smiled:

"Haha, that's not right. As a prince, I must understand the people's sentiments and make decisions for them.

I would also like to congratulate you on becoming the Governor of Liangzhou and receiving His Majesty's attention. Liangzhou City is a very important city.

It seems that His Majesty still trusts you very much."

"Thank you for your praise, Your Majesty." Li Junxian bowed again, "I am extremely grateful to Your Majesty for not abandoning me."

"Well, what important business do you have here this time?" Li Shen asked again after finishing his polite remarks.

He didn't believe that Li Junxian just came to pay his respects to him.

“My Lord, before I took up my post, I received an order from His Majesty, asking me to cooperate with His Royal Highness Prince Ji to guard Xizhou.

If there is a civil strife in Xizhou, I can lead troops to help His Royal Highness Prince Ji to quell the rebellion. If His Royal Highness Prince Ji calls for troops for assistance, I can also send troops directly without reporting to the higher authorities. "

Li Junxian informed Li Shen of Li Shimin's instructions, also to let Li Shen know.

Li Shen was stunned at first after hearing this, because his father did not tell him about this when he came out.

But Li Shen soon regained his composure and said with emotion:

"My dad is such a good man!"

It seems that my father has arranged everything for me. Even the rescue is ready. Li Junxian is a good general.

"What else did your majesty say?" Li Shen was in a good mood at the moment, and was touched that his father was thinking about him.

"Your Majesty, His Majesty also said that if Your Majesty caused any trouble in Xizhou, I would let this humble official stop it and tell Your Majesty that His Majesty would confiscate Prince Ji's mansion if he made any mistakes."

"What do you say?"

Hearing Li Junxian's words, Li Shen stood up suddenly.

Li Junxian was shocked because he didn't expect King Ji to react so strongly.

"I take back what I said just now. My father is not a good man, not a good man." Li Shen muttered to himself. He really made a mistake in his feelings just now. He actually thought that his father was a good man. He was such a fool.

"It seems that I should start implementing the empty-nest elderly plan after I return. Empty all the money in his treasury and let him live in an empty nest.

Buy the Taiji Palace and make him pay rent every month. If he doesn't pay, cut off his water supply, stop giving him food, and make him do odd jobs."

Li Shen kept muttering, and others couldn't hear what Prince Ji was muttering, but judging from Prince Ji's expression, he should be blaming His Majesty.

After a long while, Li Shen turned his head and looked at Li Junxian:

"Do you have anything else?"

"Well...I'm fine now." Li Junxian felt that King Ji was unhappy and wanted to drive him away.

As expected, when Li Shen heard that everything was fine, he immediately frowned:

"What are you doing here? Go back to Liangzhou quickly and remember to prepare food and fodder. I will leave the city without stopping."

"Yes, I'll go back right away." Li Junxian was a little helpless. King Ji was indeed moody.

After the two left, Li Shen lay down again.

"Rengui, how long will it take us to reach Xizhou?"

"Your Majesty, if we are fast, we will arrive in half a month. But if we are slow..."

Xue Rengui hesitated to speak, if not soon it might take a year or two.

"Then speed up, go out at sunrise and rest at sunset." Li Shen ordered with his eyes closed.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Xue Rengui agreed, but he didn't hold out much hope because Prince Ji had said this two or three times.

"Okay, let's have a good meal today and set off early tomorrow." Finally, Li Shen waved his hand and gave orders.

The next day.

The army broke camp early. In order not to get up early, Li Shen did not sleep in the central military tent at night, but slept directly in the carriage.

While Li Shen was sleeping, the team began to move forward slowly. Their goal today was to reach Liangzhou Prefecture.

The sound of rapid horse hooves, "clack, clack", attracted the attention of the guards. They came from far behind them and the guards immediately guarded the carriage on both sides.

Soon the sound of horse hooves came closer, and on the horse was a soldier.

"Where is His Royal Highness Prince Ji? I'm here to deliver a letter on the orders of the Crown Prince." The soldier dismounted and came to the guard to ask.

"Send a letter? Where's the letter? I'll pass it on for you." Xue Rengui stepped forward and asked.

"General, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has ordered me to personally hand it over to His Royal Highness Prince Ji. Please pass it on."

"You wait." Hearing that he would hand it over to Prince Ji personally, Xue Rengui did not dare to delay and hurried to the carriage and called softly.

"My Lord, has the Lord woken up?"

"What's the matter?" Li Shen's confused voice came.

"Your Highness, the Crown Prince has sent a letter, saying that he will personally hand it to Your Highness."

"Is that so? Let him come over."

After a quick inspection, the officers and soldiers were taken to the carriage.

"What about the letter?"

Li Shen asked as he lifted the curtain on the car window.

The soldier took out a letter from his pocket and presented it to Li Shen. Shi Tou hurried over to take it, opened it and handed it to Li Shen.

"What? No way?" Li Shen screamed in surprise after just one look.

It said: Aye is seriously ill, come back quickly.

Li Shen was completely stunned when he saw these words. He was fine when he left, so how come he became seriously ill right after he passed away?

"Are you really sent by the prince?" Li Shen frowned and looked at the soldiers. His first thought was that this man was an imposter.

"Your Highness Prince Ji, I was indeed sent by His Highness the Crown Prince. Here is the token."

Then he took out another ID card.

Xue Rengui took it and examined it carefully, then nodded to Li Shen, meaning it was true.

Li Shen looked at the seal on the letter again. It was indeed the prince's personal seal, and the handwriting was also the prince's.

"You go down first." Li Shen waved his hand, then silently put down the lotus seeds, and the carriage became very quiet.

Li Shen held the letter written by Li Chengqian, his hands shaking constantly, his father was dying.

"Is it really impossible to escape?" Li Shen murmured. He remembered that Li Shimin died in the 23rd year of Zhenguan, which was this year.

He has tried hard to change all this, and has also taken good care of Li Shimin's health, but...

He took another look at the letter and cursed in his heart. Li Chengqian didn't write it clearly. Just these few words made him feel very uneasy.

What exactly happened? You should write it more clearly. I got stuck at the critical moment.

But now is not the time to think about it. He has to go back, whether it is true or false.

Thinking of this, Li Shen got out of the carriage.

"My Lord, has something happened?"

Seeing Li Shen coming out with a gloomy face, Wang Xuance and Xue Rengui hurried forward to ask.

"I have to go back to Chang'an." Li Shen said in a low voice.

"Go back to Chang'an? What happened?" The two were extremely surprised to hear Li Shen say that he wanted to go back to Chang'an.

"Read it for yourselves." Li Shen handed Li Chengqian's letter to the two of them.

"what?"

Like Li Shen, these few short words shocked the two of them. His Majesty was actually seriously ill.

If His Royal Highness Prince Ji is allowed to go back, he must be very ill, otherwise he would not be allowed to go back.

"Rengui, pass on my order. The guard camp will continue to move forward and rest in Liangzhou Prefecture to wait for me. Tieniu, tell the personal guards to prepare to set off immediately and follow me back to Chang'an."

(I read the novel I wrote again and there is a comment I want to make about Shen Wansan.

Many people say that Shen Wansan died at the end of the Yuan Dynasty.

But I found that it was recorded in "History of Ming Dynasty: Biography of Empress Ma" and "Chronicles of Zhouzhuang Town".

There is also a record in the "Xuanwei Shen Family Genealogy" about Shen Wansan: (1306-1394), who died at the age of 88 and married concubines.

Let’s discuss it.)
