I am Li Shen and Li Shimin, the free kings of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 1235 Explanation of Thunder and Rain

This time it was Li Shen's turn to look helpless, as what he had just talked about were just the simplest theories.

It’s all in children’s comics and children can understand it, so why can’t these two people understand it?

Wang Xuance and Wang Hongfu also looked at Li Shen with anticipation.

What Prince Ji said today was too profound. Although they could understand it, they didn’t understand a lot of it.

Prince Ji had many wonderful ideas since he was a child.

They felt that what they were talking about this time should be something very important.

Li Shen thought hard, what example should he use to describe thunder and rain to them?

He doesn't have a high level of education, so he can handle the simple things, but he doesn't understand the principles.

After thinking about it, Li Shen suddenly looked at Wang Hongfu.

"Old Wang, I heard that you took in a concubine not long ago, right?"

Wang Hongfu was stunned. How did they end up talking about taking a concubine?

But still nodded:

"My Lord, that is indeed the case. It is all thanks to your great blessing."

“Well, let me put it this way, the lightning in the sky is divided into positive and negative, that is, yin and yang.

Just like you and your concubine, you are both a cloud.

You are positive electricity and your concubine is negative electricity.

When you two are together, will there be some noise? This is thunder."

"hey-hey!!"

Hearing this, Wang Hongfu chuckled and immediately understood what Li Shen meant.

"What about the rain?"

"Do I need to tell you it's raining? What will be on your bed during your night of love?"

Li Shen raised his eyebrows frivolously.

"Water!" Wang Hongfu replied.

"Snapped!"

Li Shen clapped his hands.

"Yes, isn't this rain? Get it?"

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for clearing up my confusion. I understand now."

Wang Hongfu nodded wildly.

Wang Xuance's face turned red, but he didn't say anything.

His Royal Highness Prince Ji's explanation was so unique that he even compared thunder and rain to the union of yin and yang.

Only King Ji would use such frivolous words to describe such a mysterious thing.

Li Shen's face was full of smiles, and he was full of admiration for himself. This explanation was simply too powerful and easy to understand.

I am indeed a talented person.

"Okay, now that you all understand what thunder and rain mean, let's talk about this matter.

Lao Wang, have you investigated the rumors in the market?"

Li Shen sorted out his thoughts and continued to discuss business.

“Your Highness, I have sent people to investigate and have found no one among the merchants who spread the rumor. They heard it from the people in the market.

It's just spreading rumors.

There are too many people talking about it, and it is impossible to find out who released the news in a short period of time.

It will take some time.”

Wang Hongfu reports.

“After a while, the people who spread the rumors will have left Chang’an City.

It seems that it may not be easy to find out who is behind this matter."

Li Shen also had a headache. At this time, the prince must not be affected or get into any trouble.

Otherwise, wouldn’t all my efforts over the past ten years have been in vain?

"Have you sent anyone to keep an eye on the Prince of Jin's and Prince of Wei's mansions?"

Li Shen thought of his two good brothers who were very interested in the throne.

But what he didn't understand was, at this time, was it necessary to still do such tricks?

"Your Highness, we have sent people to keep an eye on them, but there is no movement from the Jin Palace and the Wei Palace.

And I don't think they would move so quickly.

It took only half a day for the news to be spread, which was a bit too fast. "

Wang Hongfu analyzed.

"My Lord, the last time you cheated His Majesty of his money, it was known to everyone in the city all of a sudden.

It seems that the methods are the same.”

Wang Xuance interrupted.

"Are you saying that the people who attacked me last time are in the same group as this group?"

Li Shen frowned.

"I guess it's very similar." Wang Xuance nodded.

Li Shen pondered for a moment and shook his head.

“It shouldn’t be, the last incident should be related to the old thief Changsun, he is targeting me for revenge.

His son is still in his hometown of Luoyang, and with such a crime, he will never be able to serve as an official in the court in this lifetime.

But Changsun Wuji had no reason to deal with the prince. They were uncle and nephew. Whether the Changsun family could become strong again depended on the prince.

Chang Sun Wuji would not cut off his own path and do such a thing, and this matter would not benefit him at all."

Although Li Shen did not understand politics, he understood interests.

When doing something, especially something big, there must be some benefit from doing it.

"Your Majesty, do you think it was done by the noble families, hoping to create some trouble for the Tang Dynasty?"

Wang Hongfu made suggestions.

"I don't know what the benefit is. There must be some benefit to such a big fuss.

Besides, I just thought of a question."

Li Shen stroked his chin and thought.

"what is the problem."

Wang Xuance and Wang Hongfu immediately listened attentively.

"Have you ever thought about who spread what happened last night?" Li Shen asked mysteriously.

Wang Hongfu still looked confused, but Wang Xuance's eyes lit up.

"Your Majesty, do you mean curfew?"

“That’s right, there is a curfew at night. Even if the East Palace was struck by lightning, how would the outside world know about it?

As for the Eastern Palace, my eldest brother will definitely order the news to be blocked. He also knows that this matter will have a bad impact.

The question is, who leaked it?

There are military guards patrolling the city outside, as well as guards and servants from the East Palace. "

Li Shen also suddenly remembered it.

There was curfew at night, how could anyone see it?

The only people who could see the Eastern Palace being struck by lightning at night were the guards patrolling the streets and the people from the Eastern Palace.

"Your Majesty, that's not necessarily true. There are many high-ranking officials and nobles living near the East Palace.

They are very close to the East Palace, so it is possible that they can see it, after all, the palace of the East Palace is higher.”

Wang Xuance added.

"Well, what you said makes sense."

Li Shen nodded. Indeed, the several blocks next to the East Palace were inhabited by the Duke, Yuchi Jingde, Li Jing and others.

It is located within the second ring road of Chang'an City, and every inch of land there is worth a lot of money.

Even if Li Shen went there, there wouldn't be enough space to build a big house.

"Okay, we've probably figured out what happened. No matter who leaked it, it has nothing to do with us.

Lao Wang, send your men out immediately to keep an eye on the developments in the various districts and the business community.

Merchants are well-informed, maybe they have some clues."

Li Shen waved his hand, telling them not to think about those troublesome problems, and gave orders to Wang Hongfu.

"Yes, Your Highness." Wang Hongfu stood up and bowed to accept the order.

"Xuan Ce, you should send more people to keep an eye on the court, and hang out with the lower-level officials. Ask Lao Wang to give you some worthless gifts, and you can keep them and give them to others.

Sometimes what lower-level officials say is true, much more true than what higher-level officials say.

This way we can be more informed.

You have to keep an eye on this matter. We'll wait for two days and see how it goes.

We will not interfere if we can avoid it.”

Li Shen gave Wang Xuance a few more instructions.

"Yes, I will do it now."

(Easy to understand.)
