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

Hearing Wei Daijia's words, Li Shen sneered in his heart; to increase the strength of your Wei family, wouldn't it mean cultivating another aristocratic family, or a family close to you.

By then, the more powerful the Wei family becomes, the more dangerous he will be.

I am not stupid enough to have a time bomb by my side.

If they want wealth, I can give it to them, but if they want political power, Li Shen will not help them.

"I have just said that this matter is the will of His Majesty, and even I am not capable of doing it.

If you can convince His Majesty, I have no objection.

But if you want me to plead for someone who wants to kill me, hehe~~~~

Do you really think that this king is easy to bully!!!"

Li Shen sneered twice in the end. He was not a saint and everything he did was for himself.

Just like not killing Wei Yuanzheng back then, it was just to leave a good impression in front of the Queen.

It would be easy for him to kill Wei Yuanzheng, but by then Wang Wan would become a widow.

Wang Wan was Empress Changsun's niece. Even if Empress Changsun protected Li Shen, she would still feel uncomfortable.

What Li Shen wanted was the queen's wholehearted pampering and protection. All those years of flattery were not in vain.

"Your Highness Prince Ji..." Wei Daijia wanted to say something else, but was interrupted by Li Shen:

"Wei Daijia, I have been very kind to you, Xiaoyao Gongfang. Your father committed a serious crime, and I interceded for him so that he could avoid punishment.

I am only helping you because you and my mother are from the same clan.

Do you really think that I am doing this for your Wei family?

What does it matter how strong your Wei family is? My mother should have been good to your Wei family over the years, right?

I have recommended so many members of the Wei family to join the government, so please don’t push your luck.”

Li Shen looked at Wei Daijia and had to warn him.

It also reminds them that the Wei family can be what it is today because they have a good daughter who gave birth to such a good son like him.

Wei Daijia was speechless after hearing what Li Shen said. Their Xiaoyao public housing did bring in a lot of income.

The main reason is that they are close to Yun Gongfang.

But he also heard that what Xiaoyao Gongfang did in the past caused unpleasantness with the imperial concubine.

They actually wanted Prince Ji to give the recipe to the Wei family, which made Concubine Wei furious.

It took a lot of effort to repair the relationship over the years.

"Wei Daijia, if I am not mistaken, the elders from Xiaoyaogongfang are the ones who asked you to come here today, right?"

Seeing that Wei Daijia was not retorted by him, Li Shen looked at Wei Daijia with a sneer.

Now that this guy's father is gone, I guess his family is also missing a backbone.

Wei Daijia was indeed asked by his clan to come here, because he was also the son-in-law of Li Daozon, which made him closer to Li Daozon than the others.

"Alright, I know what's wrong with you. Your father is dead, so I won't bother with you.

When you have nothing to do, go to Uncle Wang's place to have some tea and learn from him.

You are also a relative, so stay safe and sound. For the sake of my cousin, I will ensure that you are rich and prosperous. There are some things you should not get involved in. "

Seeing that Wei Daijia had a bad expression on his face, Li Shen said a few more words, saying that this kid was being used as a gun.

At this moment, Wei Kun and Wei Yijie stopped talking. They could see that Prince Ji would not agree to Wei Yuanzheng entering the officialdom.

And his attitude was very firm, which the two of them could understand.

If someone wanted to kill him, he would have killed that person long ago. Prince Ji was already giving face to the Queen by not taking revenge on Wei Yuanzheng.

But if you want Prince Ji to plead for Wei Yuanzheng to serve as an official in the court, that would be a bit too much and a slap in the face.

"Your Highness Prince Ji." Wang Wan, who had been silent all this time, finally stood up and bowed to Li Shen.

She knew that this time would not be easy, but her husband had been idle at home for several years, and who wouldn't want her husband to succeed?

She felt good when she was the governor of Tongzhou, but she didn't expect to offend Prince Ji and be demoted.

Now she wanted Wei Yuanzheng to enter officialdom, so she first asked the prince, then the emperor, and finally the queen.

But without exception, they all ignored her. The Queen Mother was good enough and explained the reason to her.

The crime of assassinating King Ji is unforgivable. No one can disregard the law.

Not pursuing the matter is already a special favor. If one wants to enter officialdom, one must obtain King Ji's forgiveness.

Wang Wan thought about it and finally asked someone from the outer courtyard of the Wei family to help as a lobbyist.

It seems that lobbying is no longer effective, so I have to do it myself.

"Cousin, it's not that I don't want to help you, but this matter is an imperial decree from His Majesty. How can a prince like me who is idle have such great power?"

Li Shen expressed his attitude at the first opportunity.

"Your Highness, if His Highness Prince Ji can let Yuan Zheng go, I will go to His Majesty and ask for permission.

When the time comes, my aunt can say a few good words and the matter will be settled.

Therefore, please, Your Highness Prince Ji, spare Yuan Zheng for my aunt's sake. I will be grateful to you."

Wang Wan bowed.

He deliberately referred to the Queen as his aunt in order to get closer to Li Shen.

Furthermore, he was telling Li Shen that his aunt was the queen and he should give her some face.

She thought that when it came to the Queen, Li Shen would at least give her some face.

But contrary to his expectations, Li Shen's expression did not change. Instead, he asked softly:

"Are you done?"

Wang Wan nodded unconsciously.

“Now that I have finished speaking, I would like to ask what this has to do with me.

Do you really think that this king is a lunatic and looks so stupid?

I have shown special favor to Wei Yuanzheng by not taking his life.

You still don’t understand?”

Li Shen slammed the table, startling everyone present.

Especially when Wang Wan saw Li Shen’s eyes, she didn’t dare to look him in the eye.

None of the three people who came to lobby, Wei Yijie, Wei Kun, and Wei Daijia, dared to speak.

The scene fell silent for a moment.

Li Shen felt disdainful when he saw this. Wang Wan relied on her age and really treated herself as a child.

As far as Li Shen knew, Wang Wan was born to Empress Changsun's eldest sister and was only two years younger than Empress Changsun.

In other words, she is now a woman in her forties.

This girl was born in the Changsun family and is no ordinary person. Li Shen even guessed that she had received guidance from Changsun Wuji.

"Well, I will not agree with Wei Yuanzheng's matter. If you can ask His Majesty for mercy, then I will not interfere.

But you must remember, I did not pursue him, not because his last name is Wei, nor because your last name is Wang.

I don’t even take your Wang family seriously.

I did not pursue the matter because I did not want to offend the Queen. Otherwise, it would be easier to kill Wei Yuanzheng than to kill an ant.

If your Wei family wants to go against me for Wei Yuanzheng, I don’t mind razing you, Wei Qu.”
