Chapter 2425 Learning to be shameless
Wang Xuance frowned bitterly. He didn't think Prince Ji had such noble character.
After following King Ji for so many years, King Ji only had compassion for the common people, and he would cheat any merchants, nobles, and aristocratic families he could.
How could he have such good intentions that he would spare no effort to save the Tubo Zamp?
After thinking for a long time, he still couldn't figure out the mystery, so he could only bow to Li Shen:
"Please enlighten me, Your Majesty."
Li Shen was stunned. "What do you want to teach me?"
"How can Your Majesty keep the Tubie Zanpu in Chang'an City?" Wang Xuance asked.
"Do I need your advice?" Li Shen looked at Wang Xuance in surprise, as if to say, "You can't figure out such a simple thing?"
Wang Xuance felt a little embarrassed when being looked at, as he really didn't understand it.
"Xuan Ce, you have followed me for so many years, how come you don't use any of my wisdom?
If you can't figure out such a simple truth, I think it won't be long before Songtsen Gampo will figure it out."
Li Shen blamed him with some regret.
This made Wang Xuance even more embarrassed.
"Well, from now on, you must learn from me. One move you learn can benefit you for the rest of your life.
Listen carefully, I swear I will not stop him, and I will even go to see him off.
But I can't guarantee that others won't stop him. If my father, my elder brother, doesn't agree to let him leave, what does it have to do with me?
Besides, I can't control Your Majesty and the Crown Prince. This doesn't conflict with my oath.
Then... Hey? Hey? I haven't finished talking yet, what are you going to do? "
Li Shen was speaking proudly when he saw Wang Xuance turning at a fork in the road.
"I will go and arrange the matters of returning to Chang'an City." Wang Xuance replied.
I thought to myself, what am I learning from you? Shamelessness? Indeed, I have learned this shamelessness trick, which has benefited me for the rest of my life.
But I have to be proud. I can't learn this trick. I can't learn it.
"There's no rush, I haven't finished what I'm saying yet, hey!!"
Li Shen continued to brag about himself for a long time, but Wang Xuance had already walked away.
"Alas, it seems I have to teach my subordinates a lesson when I get back. They don't know any etiquette and leave before they finish talking."
Li Shen muttered.
"Your Highness, I am listening. You may continue speaking." Shitou came over and said flatteringly.
"Get out of here. I won't talk to an uneducated person like you." Li Shen cursed and strode back to the backyard.
The next day, Li Shen summoned Ashina She'er.
"Your Highness is going back to Chang'an City?" Ashina She'er was extremely surprised to hear that Li Shen was going back to Chang'an.
Li Shen didn't come here for fun. He had official business to attend to and an imperial decree. How could he just return to the capital without an imperial decree?
Aren’t you afraid of His Majesty’s punishment?
"Yes, we are preparing food and supplies and will leave in the next two days." Li Shen nodded.
"But...but Your Highness, if I return to Chang'an without His Majesty's order, will I be impeached by the Censor? This would be considered desertion without leave."
Ashina She'er had to give a reminder.
"I know, but this time the situation is different. The Tibetan king came to seek medical treatment and medicine, but I don't have enough medicine here.
Only Chang'an City can save Songtsen Gampo, so I am in such a hurry to leave."
Li Shen explained why he wanted to return to Chang'an.
Ashina She'er was even more surprised:
"The Tibetan king is also going back to Chang'an with His Majesty?"
Ashina She'er was extremely shocked. He was the Zamp of Tubo, the king of a country. How could he go to the capital of another country?
Isn't this like a sheep walking into a tiger's mouth, walking into a trap? For the king of a country, even death is better than humiliation.
He knew that Songtsen Gampo was seriously injured, but he did not think that Songtsen Gampo was afraid of death, otherwise he would not have brought only 3,000 people to seek medicine.
"What's so surprising about this? His injuries couldn't be cured here, so I persuaded him to follow me to Chang'an City for treatment.
There is also Dr. Sun at the Chang'an City Medical College, who will definitely be able to cure Songtsen Gampo."
Li Shen rolled his eyes, thinking that Ashina She'er was making a fuss out of nothing.
But Ashina She'er was even more surprised. This young prince of the Tang Dynasty actually took the rustic Zamp to Chang'an City.
He didn't believe that he could persuade Songtsen Gampo to come to Chang'an City with just a few words.
He was the man who unified Tubo. His mind was so firm that it was incomparable to ordinary people.
"Okay, that's not the point. I came to you today to entrust you with something."
Li Shen interrupted Ashina She'er's surprise.
"Please give me your instructions, Your Majesty."
Ashina She'er bowed and said.
"It's not a big deal. This time when I return to Chang'an City, I will take all the guards with me, so there will be no one protecting us here.
You also know that I have obtained a lot of treasures. What if no one is guarding them and they are stolen?
Therefore, I would like to ask General Ashina to send someone to look after this place temporarily for me, and wait for me to return next spring to transport the treasures here away.
Of course, I won't let you help me in vain, there will definitely be benefits for you."
Li Shen took a sip of tea and spoke calmly, trying his best to appear not to be so greedy.
Hearing this, Ashina She'er breathed a sigh of relief. This was a small matter. They would be stationed here until next year anyway, so it was just a matter of convenience.
As long as he is not asked to mobilize the army to kill and burn people, it will be fine. He has already heard about what happened in the Xizhou workshop area.
Prince Ji was truly ruthless, burning down the properties of so many noble families that had been run for many years, leaving nothing behind.
The total loss this time was more than a million strings of cash. At that time, he was wondering how Prince Ji could be so bold at such a young age.
"Don't worry, Your Highness Prince Ji. I will guard this place for Your Highness. There will be absolutely no mistakes, and not a single copper coin will be lost."
Ashina She'er immediately patted his chest and promised that this was a great opportunity to establish a good relationship with Prince Ji.
Since Prince Ji entrusted him with the care of the treasure, it showed that he trusted him very much. Otherwise, why didn't he hand it over to Anxi Protector-General Guo Xiaoke?
Because he didn't trust Guo Xiaoke.
"Haha, then I'll trouble you, General. When you return to Chang'an City, I'll have a few drinks with you."
Li Shen immediately burst into laughter. It was definitely right to find Ashina She'er because there was a vested interest.
The two chatted for a few more minutes before a teenager ran in.
"I have met His Highness Prince Ji."
"Hey? Lai Fu. Is there anything wrong?" The man who came was the elder brother of the two children taken in by Li Shen, and was named Zhang Lai Fu.
His seven-year-old sister, named Zhang Xueqing, is now learning etiquette in the backyard and is taught to read and write.
"Your Highness Prince Ji, there are a few people outside who claim to be sent by His Majesty the Emperor to deliver a letter to His Highness."
Zhang Laifu reported respectfully. He was now in charge of running errands.
Zhang Lai Fu was very satisfied with this job. The manager knew that it was King Ji who brought him back, and seeing that Zhang Lai Fu was young and weak and could not do any heavy work, he arranged for him to run errands back and forth.
The monthly salary is several hundred wen.
"Sent by His Majesty? To deliver a letter to me?" Li Shen was a little puzzled.
