Chapter 1662: Ji Wangfu Token
When Li Chengqian saw the token clearly, he was shocked.
I saw that all three tokens in his hand had a big word "Ji" on them.
Below are the words issued by the imperial court.
The other side has a pattern painted on it.
This is clearly the token of Prince Ji’s Mansion.
Li Chengqian clearly remembered that there were four types of tokens in Prince Ji's Mansion, and they were four unique types.
Logically, there should be two types of tokens in Li Shen’s Ji Wang Mansion, one for the guards in the mansion, and the other for the guards in the Dongshan military camp.
They belong to different departments.
They are respectively affiliated with the Qinshi Palace and the Account Palace of Prince Ji's Mansion.
But Li Shen was a freak. He asked the emperor to make four kinds of tokens himself, and they were different from the tokens used in the Qinshi Palace and the Neifu Palace.
The first token of the Dongshan military camp was inscribed with the Ji Wang Mansion Guard Camp.
The second Blade Brigade in the Dongshan military camp has its own exclusive token.
The third team is Li Shen’s 100 personal guards, whose tokens are the personal guards of Prince Ji’s Palace.
The fourth group is the guards in Prince Ji’s mansion. They have the smallest number and sometimes they often take turns on duty with the imperial guard battalion.
This was also Li Shen's thoughtful thought. It would be easier to distinguish and manage by opening the mouth separately.
The three tokens in Li Chengqian's hand belong to the fourth type, the guard tokens in Prince Ji's Mansion.
As the crown prince, Li Chengqian already knew what the four tokens of Prince Ji's Palace were.
This fourth token is the most common token in Prince Ji's Mansion, and also the most common token. It is similar to the token of the Imperial Guard Battalion.
It's just the name that's different.
"Where did you get this token?"
Li Chengqian put down the token and looked at the eunuch.
"Your Highness, one of the pieces was found not far from the body of the general.
The other two were found on the bodies of the dead soldiers.”
The eunuch replied.
"Not far from Dianjun's body?" Upon hearing this, Li Chengqian knew that someone wanted to frame him.
"Your Highness, could these assassins be..."
"Absolutely not, don't think about it with your stupid ideas.
Have you ever seen a death warrior wearing a badge?
Do you have my badge? How foolish! ! "
Before the eunuch finished speaking, Li Chengqian began to curse, it was obvious that someone wanted to frame Li Shen.
"Yes, yes, I was wrong."
The eunuchs knew the relationship between the crown prince and Prince Ji. Even if it was really Prince Ji, the crown prince would never admit it.
"Are there any other clues?" Li Chengqian continued to ask, holding the token.
The eunuch shook his head:
"Your Highness, no more. In order to avoid exposing our identities, we cannot conduct a further investigation for fear of being discovered."
Li Chengqian nodded after hearing this. He didn't want to reveal his cards either.
The eunuch said that there were several groups of people investigating. Li Chengqian thought that they should be people from Prince Ji's mansion and his father's people.
Li Chengqian stared at the three tokens on the table. After a long while, he suddenly stood up.
There was a knife hanging on the pillar behind him.
Li Chengqian drew out his long sword and chopped it fiercely at the token.
"Dang~!"
Sparks flew, and Li Chengqian checked it immediately and found a shallow knife mark on the token.
"It happened!"
Li Chengqian said secretly in his heart.
"Continue to look for clues about this group of people. It would be best if we could find the master behind them."
Li Chengqian sat down and began to give orders to the eunuch.
"Yes, I have already arranged it." The eunuch agreed.
"Also, anyone who knows the token cannot enter the country until this matter is resolved. Even sending a letter is not allowed."
Li Chengqian thought about it and gave instructions again.
He was also afraid that the news would leak out.
"My slave takes orders."
"Well, then you go down, but don't reveal your identity." Li Chengqian waved his hand.
The eunuch bowed and stepped out from the back.
Li Chengqian stared blankly at the three Ji Wang Mansion tokens on the table and fell into deep thought.
Just as he thought, the incident in Xizhou was a conspiracy against Prince Ji's Mansion or Li Shen.
Wang Wencheng was just the beginning. Persecuting local people, colluding with local tribal leaders, and robbing houses were all just a prelude.
The mastermind behind the scenes knew that it would be difficult to overthrow the favored Prince Ji by relying on these charges.
So there was a series of schemes...killing people to silence them.
The emperor might be able to tolerate everything that happened before, but he could not tolerate the killing of court officials, and more than a dozen of them.
Even if the emperor wanted to tolerate it, it would be impossible. The ministers would not agree, and the people of the world would not agree.
As long as the news was released, under the pressure of public opinion, the emperor had no way of being partial, even though he knew that the matter had nothing to do with Li Shen.
"What a vicious plot." Li Chengqian couldn't help but shudder.
He had been the crown prince for twenty years, but this was the first time he had encountered such a big conspiracy.
It was not used to fight for the throne, but just to deal with an idle king who had no real power.
I'm afraid Li Shen is in trouble this time.
Li Chengqian sat there thinking for a long time, and finally sighed. He wanted to help but didn't know where to start.
Standing up, Li Chengqian took the token to the study, opened a secret compartment on the bookshelf, and put the token in it.
That was all he could do.
......I am the dividing line.......
Li Shen returned to Prince Ji's mansion. As soon as he got off the carriage, Wei Fugui came forward to report:
"Your Majesty, the chief treasurer Wang Hongfu is in the front hall asking to see you."
"Well, tell him to go to the study and wait for me. Oh, send someone to notify the Chief Secretary to go to the study as well, and tell him that I have something to discuss with him."
Li Shen nodded, returned to the back house, changed his clothes and went to the study.
"I have met the prince."
In the study, Wang Hongfu saw Li Shen coming in and immediately stood up to greet him.
"No need to be polite, just sit down." Li Shen said, then got on the bed.
"What's the matter? Please tell me first." Li Shen asked.
Wang Hongfu bowed and replied:
"Your Highness, I am here to report that the foundation has been prepared.
The initial plan is to start building orphanages and nursing homes in the three provinces of Hedong, Henan and Guannei.
There is no need to rebuild, we just need to purchase some large houses and renovate them.”
"Well, this will speed up the process. Another thing is that if the orphans in the orphanage are old enough to go to school, it would be best to invite some scholars to teach them.
If not, they should be sent to the local school."
Li Shen was quite satisfied after hearing this. Although he was not a savior, helping one person was a good deed for himself.
Otherwise, there will always be people saying that your money is ill-gotten gains.
He finally understood why some people in later generations worshipped Buddha. They just wanted to feel at peace.
Upon hearing Li Shen's order, Wang Hongfu immediately agreed:
“Yes, I will arrange it.
And, Your Majesty, I also want to talk about this year’s road construction.”
"What's wrong with road construction?" Li Shen asked.
Li Shen was a little puzzled. The road had been under construction for two years. It was built on the basis of an official road, so there was no problem of nail households.
