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

Wei Siyan and his companions had long understood in their hearts that their relationship with Prince Ji was entirely due to the intermediary of Concubine Wei.

There were eight brothers and sisters in Yungong Fang's family, four boys and four girls. One of the girls married Wang Xuanying, the crown prince of Wang Shichong, and eventually died.

There are seven brothers and sisters left.

The eldest brother, Wei Gui, also known as Concubine Wei, is living the best life now.

Their parents are all gone, and their eldest sister takes good care of the six of them.

The third sister, Wei Nizi, entered the palace with her eldest sister and became Zhaorong.

The fourth sister, Wei Dante, married Yang Zhengben, the magistrate of Fanyang County, and she had no worries about food and clothing.

There are four brothers. Wei Siyan is the eldest and is in charge of Yungongfang. The second brother is Wei Siqi and the third brother is Wei Siren. They both became officials in the court and were also recommended by Concubine Wei.

The fourth brother, Wei Sili, is rather dissolute. He likes romance and often hangs out in various romantic places.

That's why he was assigned to collect intelligence.

The reason they can live such a good life is because of a good elder sister.

At that time, the Yun family was in decline, with few people and no important officials in the court.

It was because Concubine Wei wrote a letter to Prince Ji that Prince Ji helped them. Over the years, they have become the wealthiest branch of the Wei family.

But they all knew in their hearts that this was all because of Concubine Wei, and Prince Ji had no friendship with them.

After all, Prince Ji is a member of the royal family, with a different status and position, and he is rich, powerful and influential.

“Your Highness Prince Ji’s words make sense, and this won’t delay our business.

Then I will tell my in-laws first and see what they mean. "

Wei Siyan nodded without hesitation and agreed. They could not go against King Ji's wishes.

"Well, I'm relieved that my uncle will take care of this matter. I will notify the workshop to speed up, and the first batch of tea will be given to you first."

Li Shen was very satisfied with their attitude. He knew that Wei Siyan and the others would definitely feel uncomfortable.

But there is no way, they are too inefficient.

"Then there is nothing else. We will take our leave first. If there is anything, Your Majesty can send someone to ask us."

Wei Siyan stood up, and everyone else followed suit, bowed and left.

As soon as they left, Wang Xuance and Wang Hongfu came out from behind.

"I have met the prince." The two of them saluted.

"Well, no need to be polite, take a seat."

The two of them sat down one after another. Li Shen waved his hand and the servants brought them tea.

"You also heard it just now. Do you think my decision is right?"

Li Shen picked up the teacup and took a sip.

"I wonder which decision the prince is asking about?"

Wang Xuance asked.

"Tell me everything."

“Your Majesty, I am not careful to talk about the business of merchants, so I will just talk about the first one.

The prince has decided to punish the eldest daughter of the royal family according to the law and ask for some money at the same time. I think this is right.

The Wang family is actually insignificant, so a small punishment will be enough. If we deal too heavy a blow to the Wang family,

It may cause dissatisfaction among other families in the country.

There are so many small families in the country who will stay away from our Ji Wang Mansion, which is not good."

Wang Xuance stood up and agreed with Li Shen's plan to deal with the Wang family's daughter.

It is impossible for Prince Ji's Mansion to be an enemy of the forces across the country. Even if they do not form an alliance, they cannot make enemies.

"Yes, my Lord, just give them a small punishment and teach them a lesson.

We don’t have such a big grudge against them, and making a big fuss would be bad for the reputation of the palace.”

Wang Hongfu also echoed.

"Well, you are right, let's do it this way, and continue."

Li Shen nodded.

"Your Majesty, let Shopkeeper Wang talk about the business matters."

Li Shen nodded and looked at Wang Hongfu.

Wang Hongfu stood up and bowed.

“Your Majesty, I think it’s feasible to find the Chen family as the next owner.

It's just that the Wei family might suffer some losses, but it won't be bad for my Ji Palace.

Just as the prince said, the power of the palace is too great now. Although the people recruited are capable,

But it is inevitable that he will abuse his power in the ceremonial palace below.

We have no way to supervise so many states and counties, and all the evil deeds they do will be blamed on the Ji Palace.

We might as well find another company to do it. If they can’t do it well, we will change them. Whatever they do has nothing to do with my Ji Wangfu.”

Wang Hongfu also agreed with Li Shen's approach. Over the years, the business of Prince Ji's Mansion had grown bigger and bigger, and Prince Ji had asked him to do more and more things.

As he was so busy running around, he could only recruit some capable people to be his subordinates, equivalent to secretaries and assistants.

Over the years, Wang Hongfu has dealt with many people who took advantage of the prestige of the Ji Palace to bully others, amass wealth privately, and persecute the people.

These are the people under his nose; he doesn't know what will happen to those who go to other places to do business.

If these people did something bad, the first person King Ji would look for would be him, as he would be the first person responsible.

So Wang Hongfu strongly agreed with the plan proposed by King Ji.

“Well, in that case, let the Wei family do it, and let our local people supervise it.

If they use the name of Prince Ji's Mansion to report it immediately, we have to kill a chicken to show those monkeys."

Seeing that Wang Hongfu also agreed, Li Shen made the final decision.

Li Shen knew that he was not omnipotent and that he had to discuss matters with the bigwigs in the palace.

Especially for a long-term plan like this, I don't have the final say, it's all for the development of Prince Ji's Mansion.

"By the way, Your Majesty, it is already October and the trade winds will soon arrive. Should the Arab merchants start making plans?"

Wang Hongfu reminded.

“Emma, ​​yes, this matter has not been dealt with yet.

There have been so many things going on recently that I forgot about this matter."

Li Shen slapped his forehead. He had been preparing for more than a month, but time was so long that he had forgotten about the Arab merchants.

“Your Majesty, our plan is not yet complete, and the few things we have done are all aimed at the Arabs and goods in the country.

But how to target their country?"

Wang Xuance reminded.

After discussing for a long time, they finally focused on domestic issues. King Ji from abroad kept saying he would think about it, but in the end he couldn't remember anything.

"Well, I have to think about it carefully. I have been so busy lately that I forgot about this matter."

Li Shen found a reason for himself.

However, Wang Hongfu and Wang Xuance were secretly dissatisfied. Is he too busy with affairs?

Prince Ji was under house arrest for three months, enjoying himself at home all day long. What was he busy with?

Fishing, taking care of the children, listening to storybooks, playing football, and even finding a few geishas to perform at home.

In the backyard, they ride horses and shoot arrows, watch mandarin ducks play in the water, or tinker with some strange things, and have a lot of fun all day long.

However, they did not dare to refute what King Ji said. On the contrary, they had to cooperate and nodded desperately.

Wang Xuance controlled his expression and said:

"Your Highness is right. Your Highness is busy with all kinds of affairs and works hard every day. I have tried several times to persuade Your Highness to take a rest.

However, the whole palace is entrusted to the prince. I see it with my own eyes and feel guilty.

As the Chief Clerk, I am ashamed that I cannot share the worries of the prince. "

"Hey, Xuan Ce, you are very smart!"

(As for yesterday’s explanation about Wei Baobao, there is indeed a person named Wei Baobao, and what he said was not wrong.

As mentioned above, Wei Ni Zi married Wang Shichong's eldest son, and had a second sister who married Wang Shichong's crown prince.

A pure big family.
