Chapter 105: One and a Half

Li An's words made Li Shimin even more curious. He was the emperor immediately, and he was very concerned about everything about the soldiers. Listening to Li An's meaning, Li Shen actually trained his 3,000 peasant soldiers so well. Li Shimin really wanted to see how good it was.

"Emperor Qi, the head of the inner palace of King Ji's mansion asked to see him, saying that King Ji asked him to send a secret letter to His Majesty." Outside, a eunuch came in to report.

"Let him in" Li Shimin was a little strange. According to the normal procedure, Li Shen should have written the recital and folded it to the Zhongshu Province.

"I've seen Your Majesty." Now the stone is fifteen years old. As a personal eunuch who grew up with Li Shen since childhood. Li Shen trusts him very much. Now he is the head of the inner house of King Ji's mansion, responsible for the affairs of the inner house. According to the rules, the prince's mansion of the Tang Dynasty could also use eunuchs.

Li Shimin opened up sources and reduced expenditure, and streamlined the eunuchs in the palace a lot. In order to find a way out for them, the eunuchs who were released also hoped that the various clans would be able to accept some.

And the back house of the prince's mansion is actually similar to the harem. It is also to ensure the purity of the royal bloodline. If this is a bit of a scandal, where will the royal face go?

However, the eunuchs of the palace are only in the inner house. It's just a matter of day-to-day work. There is still a general manager of foreign affairs.

"Your Majesty, my lord asked the slave to send a secret letter to Your Majesty. He said that he would hand it over to His Majesty. Don't let anyone know. The stone said as he took out a letter from his bosom.

Wang De went down to take the letter, opened the envelope, and took out the stationery. This is to prevent someone from poisoning the stationery. Li Shimin took the letter and glanced at it. The content is simple: "Half to Aya, half to the mother." Li Shimin was stunned after reading it. What does that mean?

"What else does your prince have to say?" Li Shimin closed the paper and asked

"Yes, the prince said that His Majesty may be in a good mood now because the prince is not very good. So he also said four sentences, the child is arrogant, and the big man bears his affection, and he has worked hard to raise an enemy. Shi looked at Li Shimin a little nervously. Even if he doesn't have much knowledge, he can understand the meaning of Li Shen's four sentences.

"Hmph, he also knows that I'm in a bad mood, why didn't he come today." These four sentences are very much in line with what Li Shimin thinks now, how much trouble it is to send troops to rob the mission. If people know about it, it will be difficult not to punish the crime. If it is Tibet, because of this time to start a war. was grabbed by the family, and he, the prince, may not be able to keep it at that time.

"The prince said that he might be beaten when he came. Therefore he called the slave and maidservant. The prince also said that His Majesty was merciful and would not beat slaves and maids. "The stones are starting to sweat. This is a provocation to Your Majesty.

"How can this be justified, what else do you say?" Li Shimin was smoked by Li Shen's words. Afraid of being beaten and not coming?

"The prince said that you were deflated when you saw the secret letter. Let His Majesty send General Li to wait at the gate of the palace to receive the goods during the curfew. He also said that the rest of the matter would be handled by His Majesty. The stone said tremblingly. In fact, Li Shen's original words were that his son made a mistake and became a father's errand butt. How dare the stone say this?

Li Shimin opened it again, looked at the letter, and suddenly realized. Feelings: Li Shen said that one and a half refers to the materials he robbed back to Tibet. Tens of thousands of habitual luxuries. This Lu Dongzan also made a bloody investment in order to hide people's eyes and ears. Li Shen wanted to buy himself. Help him smooth out the rest of the matter. His tenth son is still so shrewd.

"You go back and tell Lao Shi that the things will be delivered tonight. There is no example of this time. The lockdown period has not expired. In plus three months. Two years' imprisonment. Let him think about it at home. Let's go down" Li Shimin imposed another three-month ban on Li Shen. There is also a penalty of two years.

The stone saluted and went back to the palace to reply.

"What? and two years' fines. I've been fined for four or five years. A prince must have 18,000 a year. I didn't let people live. King Ji's Mansion is almost out of the pot. I can't live this day. Li Shen heard that he was punished for another two years, and his emotions were a little out of control. Shouting like a shrew in the direction of the gate.

"Lord Wang, transferring troops without authorization is a big crime to kill your head. Lord Wang, you are already lucky if you have nothing to do. Wang Xuance persuaded on the side. He didn't know why he, the little prince, cared so much about money.

"No, I've got to find a way to get my money back. Uncle Fugui, you go and tell Wang Hongfu tomorrow, and you will be in the Yuan soon. The old rule is to make the gift box early. I do soap or something, too. The price is raised by one level. "You've got to find a place to make it up.

"By the way, Xuan Ce, in a while, those craftsmen and family members who came back from the robbery will arrange for you to go to the foot of the mountain in the barracks. Tell them that betraying the Empire requires three years of hard labor. Those who are willing to leave after three years can leave. Wages are paid on a monthly basis. They were allowed to come to Chang'an, but only one. The land next to the foot of the mountain will be planted for them next spring. Li Shen began to explain the matter. After Wang Xuance received the order, he instructed Xue Renguidao

"Rengui, at curfew, you can take my token and pull all the carriages we scattered out to the palace gate and hand them over to General Li. Ay. This loss is a bit big. ”

Xue Rengui and Wang Xuance both went to do errands after receiving the order.

That night, Li An should have greeted Jin Wuwei, and during the curfew, Xue Rengui went to the palace with a large number of carriages, but no one came to interrogate him. Things are going very well. Ang Lee was already waiting here. It's like the two sides are doing a secret deal. No one spoke.

Seeing Li An standing at the head of the city, Xue Rengui didn't say a word, and left silently with the people. And when they go away. The gates opened, and a group of soldiers came out to drive the carriage into the palace. and at the harem gate, he was replaced by a eunuch and sent to the harem.

Li Shimin at the gate of the Daji Palace, the eldest grandson queen. Wei Guifei and the three of them were waiting. Wei Guifei didn't know what to do. After Li Shimin and Empress Changsun came, Li Shimin only said one sentence, King Ji will send you something and open the warehouse. The three of them had been waiting for a quarter of an hour.

Soon there was the sound of carriages in the distance, and a large group of carriages drove over. Wang De began to arrange for someone to open the boxes on the carriage to see what was inside. There are a lot of good things, silk and satin, gold and silver jewelry. Wine and spices.

"Concubine, pick which of these things you need. Li Shen said that the two of us are one and a half. Li Shimin said to Wei Guifei.

"Your Majesty, you should take all of this in. These concubines had nothing to need. It's just that I don't know why I need half of a person to send things. Wei Guifei was puzzled. In the past, Li Shen sent things separately.

"Hmph, these stolen goods, he used these things to buy me. You can just keep half of it and move it to the warehouse. Li Shimin said. He didn't want to invite Li Shen's cold words.

"Stolen goods?" Wei Guifei asked in surprise.
