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

Li Daozong's family was very wealthy. He was born in the Li clan and followed Li Shimin through life and death many times. Li Daozong's shadow was almost always present in Datang's foreign wars.

After Li Shimin came to power, Li Daozong actually became Li Shimin's spokesperson in the military.

Even a military god like Li Jing showed great respect to Li Daozong.

Li Daozong also had great respect for the military commander Li Jing, which united the Tang army and was one of the reasons why the Tang army was invincible in all attacks at that time.

Li Daozong once led his cavalry to make a surprise attack on the capital of Tuyuhun.

The deeds of leading the Han cavalry to attack the base camp of the grassland people are very similar to several other famous figures in ancient times, one is the champion Hou Huo Qubing, and the other is Cao Cao and Zhang Liao.

But why did Li Shimin say that Li Daozong lived a luxurious life? Because Li Daozong was rich.

Li Daozong's contribution was so great that even Li Jing chose to retreat, not to mention that he was an authentic relative of the emperor.

So according to Li Shen's understanding, this Uncle Wang was particularly greedy and lustful, and embezzled huge sums of money many times when he was serving in the Ministry of Civil Affairs.

And I heard that he also accepted bribes and was impeached by the censor many times over the years.

Li Shimin also dismissed Li Daozong from all positions several times but retained his status as prince. After a period of time, he stayed in Qifu, and the cycle started again.

However, his money was not confiscated and was left to him to squander. This is enough to show how close the relationship between Li Shimin and Li Daozong is.

Seeing the two old men singing the double act there, Li Shen was unmoved at the moment. They must want to borrow money from me.

Huh, no way.

After the two bragged for a while, Li Daozong said to Li Shen:

"Prince Ji, you should be more careful. This matter should be directed at you, Prince Ji. They are not trying to assassinate His Majesty at all."

"Your Uncle Wang is right. I guess there will be consequences for this matter after we return, so you have to be prepared.

But since you have proven that the physical evidence has nothing to do with you, even the courtiers can't do anything about it.

I just don’t know what their next move will be. "

Li Shimin also agreed. Now that he thinks about it, the so-called assassination is like child's play. Isn’t it a joke that dozens of people want to kill the emperor?

"Aye, why don't I give you the sharp blade? I don't want it anymore." Li Shen said to Li Shimin.

If they are troublesome, send them out.

Li Shimin did not answer, but Li Daozong said for Li Shimin:

"Prince Ji, this is against the rules. Your Majesty's personal guards are all specially selected.

Your guards don't meet the requirements, and the clan can't get through either. "

Although Li Daozong said it tactfully, Li Shen also understood. He was indeed rude. How could he trust the emperor to use his sharp blade?

Li Shen wished he could give himself a slap in the face, he never thought of making such a low-level mistake.

"Okay, you don't have to worry too much. Since I asked you to do it, I'm not afraid of what you will do.

It's better to keep the sharp blade in your hand. Lao Shi, I have always trusted you. "

Li Shimin spoke to comfort Li Shen. He could tell that Li Shen was a little panicked. He was still young and couldn't calm down.

"Thank you Aye for your trust."

"You go back and have a rest. Get ready to return to Beijing tomorrow."

After hearing this, Li Shen saluted Li Shimin and then left.

"Daozong, he is very similar to you, but smarter than you." Li Shimin took a sip of tea after watching Li Shen go out.

"Yes, this child has been smart since he was a child, cautious in doing things, and knows what to do and what not to do. I feel inferior to him." Li Daozong agreed. ,

"But this is also his shortcoming. He doesn't dare to do things and is timid. I hope he can help the prince in the future.

He is not as good as you in this regard.

Lao Shi needs someone to discipline and guide him in his work. Otherwise, with his lazy temperament, he would rather travel around than serve the court.

Sigh~~I may be asking for too much perfection. "Li Shimin sighed and continued drinking tea with Li Daozong.

After Li Shen returned to his tent, he always looked sad.

"Shitou, write a letter and ask Wang Xuance to investigate this matter immediately. Dig out the person behind this for me.

I want to cut him into pieces, chop him into pieces and feed him to the dogs. "

Li Shen gritted his teeth and said.

But he quickly came to his senses and said in frustration:

"Forget it, stop writing. I'll make arrangements when I return. It's better not to send anyone out at this time. One more thing is worse than one less thing.

Bastard, what bastard framed me and wanted me to die? Could it have been done by a noble family? "

the next day,

Li Shimin's team set off back to Beijing. There were no surprises along the way, except that it started to snow when they were approaching the capital.

Li Shimin ordered to move forward in the snow. After a day of bumps, they finally arrived in Chang'an.

At the Shili Pavilion, Li Chengqian and all the civil and military officials had been waiting for a long time. Although it was snowing heavily, there was no delay in welcoming the Holy Emperor.

After Li Shimin got off the car, all the officials saluted together.

"We sincerely welcome your majesty's triumphant return."

The tribes in the north surrendered and submitted their credentials, and the news of thousands of envoys paying homage had already been reported back to Chang'an.

"Aye, please drink this wine."

Li Chengqian took the wine glass held by Wang De and handed it to Li Shimin, then handed another glass to Li Shen, followed by Li Tai and Li Zhi.

The two men drank a glass of wine, and after the ceremony, Li Shimin got on the carriage.

Although it snowed heavily on the way back to Chang'an, Li Chengqian arranged for the military guards to clean it up.

Li Shen followed Li Shimin all the way to the palace and into the Tai Chi Hall. After Li Shimin said some words to the officials, he asked the officials to disperse.

"Aye, since I have nothing to do, I have to leave." Li Shen asked to leave.

"Well, it's been a tiring journey all the way. You can go back. I will hold a banquet in the palace at noon tomorrow. You can bring the princess with you." Li Shimin nodded.

"Yes, Aye." Li Shen bowed and left the palace.

Back at Prince Ji's Mansion, the scene was the same as before, except that both Lu Dingniang and Wu Meiniang found that the prince's mood was not that high.

"Madam, please go back to the back house, I have something to do," then turned to Wang Xuance and said:

"Xuan Ce, go to the study with me. I have something important to discuss with you."

With that said, he took Wang Xuance to the study.

Li Shen told Wang Xuance about the assassination in detail, and then ordered:

"Xuance, send someone to investigate this matter immediately. Don't let go of anyone who has hatred against us.

Those who can get the style of our weapons and equipment must not be ordinary people.

Moreover, not everyone can be an elite. They must be carefully selected. Starting from this aspect, let each locality check whether there are any people who have not returned home after recruiting them.

This time they want to destroy Prince Ji's Mansion, and we must not be lenient. "

"Your Majesty, I will make arrangements now, but if the entire Tang Dynasty investigates, it may not be easy." Wang Xuance said.

There are more than 1,500 states in the Tang Dynasty, so it may not be easy to find out.

"It doesn't matter. I think most of the people who have such means are the five surnames and the seven kings, and they can lock up the eight families. You just need to check them first."

(My condition is a bit serious, I may take a day off tomorrow.

It's the first time I've taken a leave of absence since writing a novel. I'm sorry everyone. )
