Chapter 2251 2 letter
In an open space, various boxes were piled up, and gold and silver accessories and other items were placed casually on the ground.
From time to time, officials would bring a box of things and put them here.
"Your Highness, the supplies are being counted. The valuables are placed here. Food and other supplies are stored elsewhere."
Xue Rengui began to introduce.
"Are these all looted from various rebel forces?"
Looking at the mountains of treasures, Li Shen's eyes lit up and his mouth watered.
"Yes, Your Highness, there are dozens of rebels here, big and small." Xue Rengui nodded.
"These are all the people's blood and sweat. You must get them back to me."
Li Shen walked forward and picked up a gold necklace, looked at it carefully, and sighed.
Only by keeping it with him can it be safe.
Li Shen took a preliminary look and found nothing special. There were only porcelain, silk, and other accessories.
Gradually, Li Shen lost interest, checked the food storage area again, and then left it at that.
Two days later,
Li Shen's army returned to the city, and the corvées were responsible for transporting Li Shen's spoils of war and the remains of the soldiers.
Li Shen ordered a large pit to be dug and the bodies of the rebels to be buried collectively. Although this place was remote and there was no need to worry about the plague,
But the dead are the greatest, and Li Shen couldn't bear to let their bodies lie exposed in the wilderness.
At this time, the role of corvee labor was fully demonstrated. Digging pits, moving corpses, etc. were their jobs.
Before Li Shen returned to Xizhou, news of the great victory had already reached him.
Prince Ji personally led his troops to attack the rebel Lao Cao, killing tens of thousands of enemies and capturing tens of thousands more, thus wiping out the rebels who had been causing trouble for many years in one fell swoop.
The news was exciting and the people cheered.
When Li Shen's army returned to Xizhou City, people of all ages lined the streets to welcome them.
Enjoying this honor and praise, Li Shen was even more excited. He rode on his horse and waved to the crowd.
"Your humble servant Pei Ziyu would like to thank His Royal Highness Prince Ji for eliminating this great threat to the people of Xizhou and ensuring their peace."
Pei Ziyu came to greet him and bowed deeply to Li Shen.
Then the people on both sides of the road followed Pei Ziyu and saluted Li Shen together:
"Thank you, His Highness Prince Ji."
The sound was deafening and echoed over Xizhou City.
"My fellow citizens, there is no need to do this. Your Majesty sent me to Xizhou to ensure your safety.
It would be a piece of cake to stamp out the rebellion.
You must trust the court and His Majesty, and your lives will get better and better."
Sitting on the horse, Li Shen looked around and said loudly.
In this way, surrounded by the crowd, Li Shen finally returned to the office of Prince Ji's Mansion.
As soon as I sat down, I heard Pei Ziyu's compliment:
"Congratulations, His Royal Highness Prince Ji, on your triumphant return. Your Highness, you have worked hard on your journey."
Pei Ziyu felt very sorry that he did not get such a great credit this time.
He even wished he could become a Dianjun and go to the battlefield together.
"Hahaha, Pei Changshi, you are too polite. This is my job, so why should I say it is hard work?
It is my duty to wipe out the rebels and maintain peace in this area."
Li Shen burst into laughter.
"Your Majesty, not long after you left for the battle, a messenger brought a letter, claiming it was from His Majesty."
Pei Ziyu seemed to suddenly remember something and reported to Li Shen.
"Where is the messenger?" Li Shen asked immediately after hearing the letter.
"He's still at the post station. He said he would personally deliver the letter to His Royal Highness Prince Ji." Pei Ziyu replied quickly.
"Go and call him over." Li Shen gave an order, and soon a messenger was brought over.
"Your humble servant pays respect to His Royal Highness Prince Ji."
"No need to be so polite. Where's the letter?" Li Shen waved his hand and asked directly.
The messenger quickly took out a letter from his bosom and presented it with both hands.
When Li Shen received the envelope, he felt it was a bit heavy, different from the previous ones.
When he opened it, he saw clearly that there were two envelopes inside, which made Li Shen a little curious.
Which of the Thirty-Six Stratagems is this his father using?
He had just checked and the seal was intact and had not been tampered with. Then why were there two letters inside?
Li Shen took out two envelopes and examined them carefully before he understood. One of them should be written to him by his father, and the other should be written to her by his mother.
Looking at the three words "Shen, Qinqi" written on it, Li Shen felt very close to his mother. He hadn't seen his mother for several months.
Li Shen hesitated for a moment and chose to read his father's letter first. Li Shen had a habit of enjoying the bitterness before the sweetness.
Save the good things for last.
He could easily guess that his father's letter must have upset her, and he didn't want anyone to disturb his joyful mood.
Sure enough, the first sentence after opening his father's letter was "bastard and rebellious son", and the first three columns were words of scolding.
"Tsk, as an emperor, your vocabulary is too limited. You just repeat the same few sentences over and over again. There is no novelty at all."
Li Shenyi curled his lips and commented, skipping the words that scolded him and started reading the main text.
The main text was much simpler, angrily denouncing him for being corrupt and breaking the law, embezzling and accepting bribes, and bringing disgrace to the royal family.
This matter is so serious and difficult that if it is not handled properly, the property will be confiscated and the person will be exiled.
Then, his father, who loved his son so much, made great efforts to help Li Shen calm the matter down.
The emphasis was placed on the amount of favors and compromises that were required.
Li Shen sneered as he read, and after he finished reading, he felt a little strange.
There was not a single mention of dividing the spoils in the entire letter. Li Shen even suspected that the letter was not finished, and he even searched inside the envelope.
When he found out that this was all, Li Shen fell into deep thought. This is unscientific.
Given his father's personality, how could he let go of this opportunity he had finally seized?
Could it be that Dad has changed his ways? Like their ancestors, he now despises money?
Li Shen was puzzled and finally had no choice but to stop thinking about it. He happily picked up the letter from his mother.
He opened the envelope carefully, as if afraid of tearing it.
I unfolded the letter and saw the beautiful handwriting on it. It was obviously written by my mother.
Looking at the words above, Li Shendu seemed to see his mother's smiling face.
Calming down, Li Shen began to read carefully, but as he read, the smile on his face slowly disappeared.
Everyone in the room could sense Prince Ji's change in mood, and they were all wondering what had happened.
The air became more solemn as Li Shen's expression changed.
Li Shen's brows were furrowed at this moment, and his expression was filled with anger.
Seeing this, Shitou quickly stepped forward quietly, took the jade teapot from Li Shen's hand, and replaced it with a teapot from an official kiln.
Li Shen finished reading the letter, silently put it into the envelope, and waved to everyone:
"All of you go down. I'm tired and want to rest."
"Yes." Everyone agreed and retreated.
"Oh!"
The teapot fell to the ground and broke into pieces.
"This is outrageous! It's really too much!
What a trick of playing hard to get."
(The writing of these three chapters is a bit messy and not very good. There is nothing in my mind. I am old and can’t bear it as much as I did when I was young.
Please forgive me if my writing is not good. I will polish it again when I recover from my illness.
Runny nose, one roll of toilet paper a day, can you imagine?
I feel like my brain is flooded)
