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

After saying this, Li Shen stood up, opened the door of the study and walked out.

Wang Hongfu and Wang Xuance followed him out.

Li Shen looked up at the sky.

"Alas~~~ It's another eventful time."

Li Shen sighed.

"Your Majesty, don't worry. This matter has nothing to do with our Ji Palace."

Wang Xuance comforted him.

"Yes, Your Majesty, there is no conflict of interest with our Ji Palace, and it will not affect our plan to make money."

Wang Hongfu also comforted her.

"Alright, I'm not that sad, you guys go ahead and do it, and remember to notify me immediately if anything happens.

It looks like it’s going to rain again.”

Li Shen looked up at the sky, without any worry on his face.

~~~~~~~~~~

"Have you heard that last night, the East Palace was punished by God and struck by lightning?"

In an alley, several people were enjoying the cool air.

"Shh~~~Keep your voice down. If someone hears you, you'll be beheaded."

One person quickly signaled for silence.

"It's okay, we won't tell anyone."

Those who had not heard the news immediately became interested.

Then another person said:

"That's nothing. I heard from a relative that there was thunder and lightning last night, and a white light suddenly descended over the East Palace.

It hit a palace directly and the entire palace collapsed immediately.

No one inside escaped.

I heard that many people died.

Some people also said that they saw two figures above the clouds following the flickering light.

"Really?! Anyone who can be above the clouds must be a god."

"That's for sure, now everyone is saying it,"

The man looked around and continued in a low voice:

"It is said that the prince is not worthy of his position and his conduct is not good enough. God has sent down punishment to warn the world."

As soon as these words were spoken, several people quickly lay down in the corner and looked around.

"Don't dare to say this carelessly, or you will lose your head.

The crown prince has been regent for several years and has always been a good person. How could he be unworthy of his position?

The current crown prince is no different from the heir to the throne.

Don’t say this again.”

One of them looked back at the person who spoke and reminded him.

"Of course, of course, no one dares to say anything outside. Whether it's true or not, it has nothing to do with us.

I just think that the lightning that struck the East Palace must have some meaning from heaven.”

The man nodded, but still believed in Tianfa's words.

Similar chats appeared in many places in Chang'an city.

And it is spreading more and more widely.

"Bang~"

In the Shenlong Hall, Li Shimin looked at the memorial sent to him and slammed the table heavily.

"Treasonous ministers! They are all treacherous ministers!"

Li Shimin pointed at a pile of memorials, his face full of anger.

"Your Majesty, please calm down. Your Majesty, please calm down."

Wang De hurried forward to comfort her.

At this time, only Wang De dared to step forward.

"Old Ten is right, none of these people are good. Now, I am still alive, and they dare to do this.

If I die, they won’t know what to say.”

Li Shimin was really angry. The memorials submitted by this group of people all said that it was an ominous sign from the sky.

Although there was no mention of the crown prince, the implication was that the crown prince was not qualified to be emperor, which angered God.

I have trained the prince for more than twenty years, and these people dare to say that he is not worthy. I don’t have more than twenty years to train him.

Even if there were, Li Shimin would not be manipulated by these ministers.

"Has the prince seen it?"

Li Shimin's face was as gloomy as water.

"Your Majesty, the prince only read two or three of the books and sent them all over."

Wang Zhong was so frightened that he didn't dare to breathe.

The prince asked him to deliver the memorial, but he didn't expect that the emperor would be furious after reading it.

"What's the prince's reaction?"

Li Shimin took the tea handed to him by Wang De, took a sip, and asked.

"Your Majesty, the Crown Prince did not react at all and was not angry at all."

Wang Zhong answered cautiously.

"Hmm~"

After hearing this, Li Shimin nodded with satisfaction.

The prince performed well and was able to read the memorials calmly, which showed that he had made great progress and knew how to cultivate his energy.

"Go back and tell the prince that I am very satisfied with him. Let him handle the affairs of state with peace of mind. I will take care of the rest."

"Yes, Your Majesty, I will leave this servant."

Wang Zhong bowed deeply and then secretly glanced at his godfather Wang De.

Wang De waved to him quietly.

Wang Zhongcai retreated with peace of mind.

"These bastards are all a bunch of flatterers."

After Wang Zhong left, Li Shimin cursed again.

"Your Majesty, please calm down. The imperial physician said that anger is harmful to your health."

Wang De comforted softly.

"What's the situation outside?" Li Shimin asked.

“Your Majesty, I just received intelligence and the news has spread.

Now, this matter is being spread in the market and the streets, and the meaning of the story is almost the same as the memorial."

Wang De also reported carefully.

"That makes no sense."

After hearing this, Li Shimin became furious and threw the teacup in his hand away.

Wang De flew over and tried to catch it, but he was still a step too late.

“Bang!”

The tea cup fell to the ground and fell into pieces.

"Hey, Your Majesty, this is the Nine Dragon Cup made of Kunshan jade. There is only one of its kind in the world.

What should I do if one of them is broken? "

Wang De felt a little distressed, this was a rare treasure.

Kunshan jade is a rare commodity and is usually used as an accessory. It is said to have the power to bring good luck and ward off misfortune.

But it is not easy to make a teacup. First, the quality of the jade must be the best of the best.

Secondly, it has to be a big piece, otherwise how can it be carved into a teacup.

There are nine Kowloon Cups in total, which is the number nine-five.

Each teacup is engraved with a dancing golden dragon, which is pasted on with gold bit by bit.

The golden dragon surrounds the teacup, and the dragon raises its head on the lid.

There is not a single flaw in the connection.

Li Shimin usually couldn't put this set of teacups down.

Wang De didn't expect that it would be broken into pieces in anger today, and now it has become eight.

This is a rare treasure in the world, a one-of-a-kind piece.

Li Shimin was so angry that he felt a little sad when he saw the broken jade cup on the ground.

Wang De felt even more distressed and picked them up piece by piece with his own hands.

This Kunshan jade can be sold for a good price even if it is broken.

As long as you ask someone to polish and carve it, it can be made into a small accessory and someone will buy it.

"Li An, have you found out who released the information?"

Li Shimin asked Li An again.

"Your Majesty, I have sent the Hundred Cavalry Division to investigate, but there is no news yet."

Li An took a step forward and replied.

“Send someone to check on these people and see who they have been in contact with. I don’t believe that a bunch of censors and fifth-rank officials would dare to risk their lives to submit a memorial.

Aren't they afraid of my wrath?"

Li Shimin pointed to the memorial on the table and said.

Li An immediately stepped forward and collected all the memorials. He wanted to investigate everyone here.

Li Shimin glanced at Wang De, who was still squatting on the ground carefully picking up the jade fragments, and said impatiently:

“Okay, you old dog, stop picking it up.

Just go to that rebellious son's house and ask for another one.

Humph, such a good thing, how could that rebellious son only have this set of skills? "

(Kunshan jade is Hetian jade.)
