Chapter 2091 Concubine Wei's Concerns
Several eunuchs were attendants of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. There were many attendants, and none of them had ever followed Li Shen.
This time when they came to Cuiwei Palace together, they had the opportunity to see the true appearance of Prince Ji Li Shen.
I originally thought that he was no different from other princes, just a little arrogant.
But after listening to Wang Xing's words, I suddenly realized that even Manager Wang was a little cautious. What kind of task was that?
You have to know that Steward Wang is your Majesty's close attendant. Not to mention ministers, even princes and nobles have to be polite when they meet him.
A formal official position below the third rank.
He was a person who could call His Royal Highness the Crown Prince "Da Lang" in private, but he was also afraid of Prince Ji. What kind of devil was Prince Ji?
"Thank you, Mr. Wang, for your guidance." Several people bowed to Wang Xing.
"Okay, we'll just wait here. Remember to stay away from Prince Ji from now on. We can't afford to offend this little prince."
Wang Xing waved his hands and recalled the time when he was taught a lesson by Gan Ye, just because he said something wrong.
In the main hall,
After the eunuchs and maids left, only a few of Concubine Wei's confidants were left to serve her.
"Does mother have anything to say?" Li Shen asked at this time.
Concubine Wei looked outside and realized that her son was the first one who dared to drive out the eunuchs from the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
"Shen'er, you saved His Majesty and gained His Majesty's favor. Even the Queen treats you as her own child.
But I'm afraid His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will have complaints against you.
I don’t need to explain the reason, you should understand it.”
Concubine Wei looked worried.
Li Shen was stunned. He thought his mother was going to say something else, but it turned out to be this. Li Shen understood his mother's concerns.
If his father died, the prince would immediately inherit the throne, but he saved the emperor. Would the prince resent him?
Moreover, since the emperor and the queen treat him like this, will the prince be jealous?
It turns out that my mother is worried about this.
Li Shen smiled slightly:
"Mother, you worry too much. I came back this time because of the letter my eldest brother wrote to me.
If my brother had other ideas, he didn't have to tell me.
As for the Queen's love, I am only being filial. If you don't even have this tolerance, then he is not worthy of being the Crown Prince."
Li Shen said it very easily, and it was true. If the prince was so petty, would Li Shimin still agree to Li Chengqian's succession to the throne?
His own father had to endure Wei Zheng's anger and insults for so many years.
"But... I'm afraid that there are villains around the prince who might spread rumors. Shen'er, your majesty is open-minded, has a broad mind, and is tolerant of others.
But the prince and you are just brothers, and mother is afraid that in the future... "
Concubine Wei did not continue. To be honest, even Concubine Wei felt that her son was a serious threat to the emperor.
Concubine Wei never thought that her son would achieve so much that he could threaten the imperial power.
It's not that she didn't have other thoughts at first, and the Wei family also mentioned this to her vaguely, but later her son said that he liked the free life and wanted to be an idle prince and enjoy all the wealth and glory.
She nipped the idea in the bud.
The fight for the throne is always bloody, and no one on the losing side has a good ending.
Now that his son is staying out of this matter, it will not be a good result.
But now her son's strength and influence are growing, which makes her a little worried.
"Don't worry, mother. Big brother and I are as close as brothers, and I have helped him a lot. He won't have any other thoughts about me.
And..." Li Shen smiled confidently:
"I am not someone who can be bullied by others. I hold the economic lifeline of the Tang Dynasty. If I fall, the entire Tang Dynasty's business will collapse in an instant.
Even if someone wants to follow suit and establish new rules, it will not succeed.
All forces want to compete for interests, and there will be deviations in the establishment of rules, which will cause the Tang Dynasty's business to regress to ten years ago.
Once the business is in chaos, there will be many chain reactions. Without the control of the children, the money of these people will be worthless. "
Li Shen has been controlling inflation, preventing prices of daily necessities from rising, and ensuring that people can live a better life.
If Li Shen had not controlled it, the currency would have become worthless and prices would have skyrocketed.
Although Li Shen is not an economist, he still understands the basic principles.
If I were not there, the aristocratic families, the gentry, the royal relatives, the officials, these privileged classes would definitely take the opportunity to sweep the market, and the royal family would not get a single thing.
If such a big piece of meat is divided up by these people, how many aristocratic families will be created.
Li Shen believed that as long as Li Chengqian was not a fool, he would never be willing to see such a situation.
Concubine Wei didn't understand what her son was saying, but she felt relieved when she saw how calm he was.
I don’t ask my son to be rich and powerful, as long as he is safe and sound.
"As long as you know what's going on, I'll be relieved. You've been different since you were a child, and I know you'll be extraordinary in the future.
I never thought you would achieve such success. I have benefited a lot from you. I am glad to have you."
Concubine Wei was filled with emotion and reached out to touch Li Shen's head, which scared Li Shen and he subconsciously dodged.
"Mother, why are you saying such polite words? You and I are mother and son. Without you, there would be no son, and there would be no achievements for him.
From now on, mother, you just need to enjoy yourself, be with your children and grandchildren around you, and enjoy the happiness of family.
Other mothers don’t need to worry too much, as I am here for everything.”
Looking at his mother, Li Shen said something to comfort her, saying that his mother was already fifty-two years old and no longer young, so he would be more filial to her as long as he could.
He is not one of those rebellious kids who don't understand the importance of family affection. Don't wait until there is no chance anymore and then hypocritically post something on your circle of friends to commemorate him. That can only move yourself.
"Okay, I'll listen to my son in everything." Concubine Wei showed a kind smile. With a son like this, what else could a husband ask for?
"Shen'er, this is the clothes that your mother made for you a month ago. Take it back and see if it fits you."
Concubine Wei picked up a long gown from the couch behind her and handed it to Li Shen.
"Thank you, mother. If there is nothing else, I will take my leave. Please take care of yourself and don't worry me.
I am an unfilial son and cannot perform my filial duties in front of the hall. I hope that mother will forgive me."
Li Shen stood up, knelt solemnly in front of Concubine Wei, and kowtowed respectfully.
"Shen'er, get up quickly. You have something important to do. How could your mother blame you? You also have to take care of your health. Be careful on your way and be cautious in what you say and do."
Concubine Wei's eyes turned red and she helped Li Shen up.
"I will follow my mother's instructions and take my leave." Li Shen bowed again and walked out.
Concubine Wei accompanied her son all the way to the gate of the hall. As she watched her son go away, tears came to her eyes and she was reluctant to leave for a long time.
A mother worries about her son even when he is far away. This has been the case since ancient times.
