Chapter 2077 Remembering Di Renjie
Li Shen naturally understood what Wang Xuance meant. As long as his father was there, he would be safe.
No one in the world dared to compete with his father. When his father got ruthless, he was extremely scary.
Li Shen always felt that Li Shimin was definitely worthy of the title of the greatest emperor of all time.
You are so confident that you don't have to kill the heroes and don't have to touch the military power. I will give you a high position and generous salary, and I will just watch you do it.
Luo Yi, Wang Junkuo, Li Xiaochang, Zhangsun Anye, Liu Deyu and others all made great contributions to the Li family's foundation, but in the end Li Shimin watched them all being killed after they rebelled.
Li Shimin did not learn from Emperor Gaozu of Han because he had strength and confidence.
As long as Li Shimin is still alive, the government will not be in chaos, Li Shen will be safe, and the world will be at peace.
Li Shen can struggle as hard as he wants, and no one can do anything to him.
But if Li Shimin passed away, Li Shen would have to be more stable. He would have to see how Li Chengqian treated him.
A biological father and an eldest brother are different. A biological father is always one family, but brothers become two families.
"Xuan Ce, what you said is right. Fortunately, I came back in time this time. Are there any changes in the court?
That old thief Changsun Wuji, have his followers taken any action?
And that little jerk Li Zhi, is he restless?"
This was the first time that Li Shen cared so much about Chao Zheng.
“My Lord, there are not many changes in the court, because the Crown Prince has abolished the court, and the three ministries are only responsible for handling local affairs. Officials above the fifth rank must be approved by Your Majesty before they can take up their posts.
However, there were some changes at the local level, and some county magistrates and officials were transferred.
The line of Duke Zhao has been quiet for a long time, and Gao Ji Fu, Gao Lu Shi and others have been performing their duties.
Everything is normal at the Prince of Jin's mansion, but I have heard that the Prince of Jin has been in frequent contact with the Prince of Wei recently, and the two of them went together to visit Your Majesty."
Wang Xuance replied one by one.
"Are these two hanging out together again?" Li Shen touched his chin, thinking.
Li Tai has been living a secluded life these years. It is said that he has been studying at home, or has gone to Furong Garden to study calligraphy and painting with those literati.
Although he was closer to Li Zhi on weekdays, Li Shen thought it was normal because they were brothers after all.
However, the two of them don't interact very often, and I don't know why they interact so frequently this time.
"These two are worse than each other. Send someone to keep an eye on them. I don't want to be tricked again." After thinking for a while, Li Shen ordered.
"Yes, I have already sent people to keep an eye on him, Your Majesty. I have always felt that the King of Wei is not that simple.
Just like the matter of Xizhou, on the surface it was the Prince of Jin who was in charge, and the aristocratic families supported it behind the scenes. But didn’t His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also say that there seemed to be the shadow of Duke Zhao involved?
After much thought, I think the King of Wei may have a role in this.”
Wang Xuance guessed. Although there was no evidence, he always felt that the King of Wei changed too quickly, which was unreasonable.
"Are you saying that my fourth brother is also involved in the affairs of Xizhou? But all the information we found does not show any connection with the King of Wei.
If it is really related to him, no matter how covert he is, there should be no clues at all."
Hearing Wang Xuance's guess, Li Shen frowned and fell into deep thought.
To be honest, over the years, he had really neglected the little fat boy Li Tai, thinking that he was too quiet and not as lively as Li Zhi.
"Your Majesty, I have no evidence, I am just guessing, but His Royal Highness the Prince of Wei has changed so much.
Having fought with the prince for so long, he should be the person with the deepest grudge against the prince.
If the prince had not repeatedly persuaded the prince to mend his ways, the position of crown prince would most likely have fallen into the hands of the King of Wei.
Logically, the King of Wei should hate you the most, but after he failed to take revenge on you several times, he became silent.
He stopped attacking the prince, as if he had let go of his guilt. It happened so suddenly."
"Do you think he lost his will to fight because he couldn't beat me?"
After listening to Wang Xuance's analysis, Li Shen thought about it and asked.
His guess is not impossible. Knowing that he cannot win, he still wants to go against me. Isn't that asking for trouble?
What Li Shen didn't know was that Li Tai joined because he couldn't defeat him.
"This...I don't know." Regarding Li Shen's narcissism, Wang Xuance chose not to deny, agree, or know.
"Who cares? Just send someone to keep an eye on him. If he really wants to study, that's fine. But if he comes to provoke me...
I will let him know why the flowers are so red, and I will knock off a hundred pounds of his fat."
Don't think about things that you can't figure out. This has always been Li Shen's principle. No matter what Li Tai wants to do, as long as he doesn't bother him, it's fine.
"Yes." Wang Xuance agreed.
"Write a letter to Di Renjie, asking him to hurry up and build the Tang Dynasty City That Never Sleeps. I will go there next year and meet their emperor.
Tell Di Renjie to promote our Tang Dynasty to the local people. It doesn't matter whether we make friends with those local celebrities or not.
When the time comes, the first thing we will do is attack these local daimyo and nobles.
Also, have Di Renjie find out if there is a mountain in Japan with a lot of gold and silver. If you find any, report back immediately."
Li Shen suddenly thought of Di Renjie. He wondered how this child prodigy, who was a few years younger than him, was doing now.
There is also the Tang Dynasty City That Never Sleeps built by Japan, a city that is comparable to Chang'an.
Without steel and concrete, Li Shen would not have built such a large city. If it were only made of stone, it would take forever.
The daimyo of Japan were not much different from big landlords, except that they had independent administrative and military powers in their own territories.
According to intelligence, these daimyo were secretly disobeying the Japanese emperor and ignored him completely.
In Li Shen's view, they were just a group of nouveau riche, and it would be easy to attack them.
The mountain that Li Shen mentioned was also one that was often mentioned in the novels that Li Shen read in his previous life, but he didn't know where it was exactly.
Because all kinds of time-travel novels will mention a mountain of gold and silver.
If he could discover this mountain, Li Shen would be able to develop his monetary business.
"Your Majesty, Japan is far away and the sea is dangerous. I do not recommend that you go there."
When Wang Xuance heard that Li Shen was going to Japan, he hurried to persuade him.
The risks on the sea are too great, and the risk factor is also high. If something goes wrong, the Ji Wang Mansion will be doomed.
“No problem, Fuzhou has already started building a large ship for me, which is big enough to sail across the ocean.
Besides, I will go to Silla first, and then go to Japan from Silla. There will be no danger and the journey will not be too far."
Li Shen had made preparations last year. He said last year that he wanted to go to Japan. He had originally planned to go this year, but now he has to go to Xizhou, and he is afraid that he will not be able to come back by the end of the year.
I can only change the plan to next year, as my big ship will be completed next year.
"Then I am willing to communicate with the prince. I will write a letter to Di Renjie right away, asking him to make all preparations and speed up the construction of the city so that we can welcome the prince next year."
(Do you think I remembered Di Renjie? I have a good memory.)
