Chapter 1906 Something was discovered
What Wang Xuance said left Li Shen silent. He used to be a commoner and had heard of or experienced similar things.
Over the years, the prince's sense of superiority made him forget the suffering of the people.
"Xuan Ce, can these people still silence the public? Don't the people have sharp eyes?
Rumors from the public can also push these people to the forefront, aren't they afraid?"
Li Shen still asked his own question. Whether it was the powerful or the officials oppressing the people, how could no news be leaked out?
Aren’t these people afraid of being punished if the news gets reported to higher authorities?
"Your Majesty, the people still trust the government. As long as the government issues a notice saying that the people who filed the complaint are making false accusations in order to extort money, the people will be punished.
Almost all the people will believe that they are not oppressing all the people.
People who don't know the truth may even criticize the accusers, and the government will put pressure on them.
Soon this matter will be settled. When I was a county magistrate, I saw this kind of thing many times. "
What Wang Xuance said was a bit blunt, so blunt that Li Shen found it hard to accept that there was actually someone who dared to be an accomplice to the evildoers in his Li family's kingdom.
Li Shen is a perfectionist. He imagines everything to be beautiful, and he hopes that the world will be as beautiful as he imagines.
To this end, he is doing his best to change the world.
But he couldn't change his nature after all.
Seeing that Prince Ji was a little disappointed, Wang Xuance comforted him:
"Your Majesty, there is no need to be so disappointed. This world is divided into yin and yang, and people are divided into good and bad people.
But in the end, there are still more good people in the world. The same is true for the court. Most officials are still good, there are just a few bad apples. "
"Xuan Ce, you have to know that these bad apples will make the people of the world resent the court."
Li Shen raised his head with a blurry look in his eyes.
"That's why the court needs to strictly investigate these black sheep." Wang Xuance continued to persuade.
"You are right, we must get rid of these bad apples.
Xuan Ce, we need to collect intelligence from all states and counties. If we find that the government has violated the law, you must report it to me.
This king believes that the dark clouds can only cover a corner of the sky, but will never cover the entire sky. Sooner or later, the dark clouds will disperse, revealing a bright and clear world. "
Li Shen's eyes became clear, revealing his determination. He understood that if the water is too clear, there will be no fish, but it depends on the situation.
Li Shen can't tolerate everything.
"Yes, Your Majesty, I will issue orders to newspapers in various places." Wang Xuance immediately accepted the order.
"Well, if you have nothing else to do, go back first. Remember to pay attention to the Liu family's case. I want to know the progress."
Li Shen nodded.
"Your Majesty, I have something else to say." Wang Xuance did not leave and spoke again.
"what's up?"
"Your Majesty, No. 76 discovered that a steward of Duke Chen's family frequently traveled to Xizhou, although he did not see any clues.
But I felt it was very strange, so I reported it.” Wang Xuance reported.
"Duke Chen? Hou Junji? Did he say why it was strange? I remember that many dukes had cotton fields in Xizhou.
Now is the cotton planting season, so it shouldn't be strange for the manager to go to Xizhou, right?"
Li Shen thought for a while and said.
This was the busiest time for Xizhou, so he didn't think it was strange.
"Your Highness, No. 76 said that Duke Chen's steward has made seven trips to Xizhou since last year.
Every time he went there, he was delivering some supplies, and the time he returned proved that he did not stay there for long.
And when they come back, they should all ride as fast as they can.”
"You've been there seven times?" The distance from Chang'an to Xizhou is not short. It would take at least a month to go back and forth, and that's still speeding up.
If there is cargo, the journey will be slower and it will take two months for a round trip.
What important matter could require going there seven times? I have a big family and a lot of money there, but I didn't even send people there seven times.
"Have you checked what he was doing there?" Li Shen asked with a frown.
"Your Highness, no. I just feel it's strange right now. No. 76 did not go to investigate." Wang Xuance shook his head.
“Then send someone to go with him next time to see what he does in Xizhou.
Hou Junji, he is not a good person either." Li Shen gave the order.
If he hadn't changed Li Chengqian's trajectory, Hou Junji would have been dead by now.
This guy has a rebellious heart and should not be underestimated.
"Hey?" Li Shen was suddenly stunned when he thought about it, "Why is No. 76 still in Chang'an City? Didn't I tell No. 76 not to stay in Chang'an City?
Except for mission requirements, No. 76 does not operate in Chang'an City."
No. 76 is a special task organization and is not in the same system as the regular organization that Wang Xuance’s subordinates use to gather information.
Li Shen didn't want such an organization to stay in Chang'an City, for fear that his father would find out and make them feel like siblings.
It didn't matter what organization he was in for the information, since his father knew about it anyway, and he was also using the newspaper as a cover.
“Your Majesty, this No. 76 is from Chang’an, and I have not used him, nor have I assigned him any tasks.
He discovered it accidentally when he was living in Chang'an. He did some small business in the East Market.
Every time the steward goes to Xizhou, he buys something from him."
Wang Xuance hurried to explain.
"Oh, so that's how it is, tell him to be careful and not expose himself.
It's not a big deal, tell him to stop worrying about it."
Li Shen nodded.
"Yes, I will tell him. If there is nothing else, I will take my leave."
Wang Xuance bowed and walked out.
Li Shen lay on the bed, still feeling a dull pain in his buttocks. The injury had improved a lot, but the broken skin wound had not yet healed.
He was thinking.
Hou Junji? He rarely heard the name Hou Junji in these years. Ever since he was punished by Li Shimin for the Gaochang incident, Hou Junji stayed at home for a long time.
Later, he continued to serve as the Minister of War despite being bullied, but he became low-key and Li Shen could sometimes be seen.
However, he was not very familiar with Hou Junji, so he had no contact with him and ignored Hou Junji.
Wang Xuance’s report today reminded him that Hou Junji’s personality should not be so low-key.
After thinking about it over and over again, I still can’t figure out why I’m dying.
"Who cares? If he jumps out, just kill him." Li Shen murmured softly.
Since I can make him deviate from history, I naturally have the ability to respond to him.
"Your Highness, the Second Son of the Fang Family, the Second Son of the Cheng Family, and the Second Son of the Yuchi Family are here."
Just when Li Shen was fantasizing, someone outside reported.
"What are they here for? Let them in." These guys didn't come when I was injured, but they came now that I'm almost well.
The door was pushed open, and Fang Yiai, Cheng Chuliang, and Yuchi Baoqi walked in. After coming in, they nodded and bowed to Li Shen.
"Greetings, Your Majesty. Our football field has been built."
(A paragraph for you,
People don't have money, time and mood at the same time, so just go traveling when it's almost time.
Look at the sea of stars, look at the blue sea and sky.
When you come back you will find that nothing has changed, hahahaha. )
