Chapter 472: Pleading
"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness King Ji asks to see you."
Just then, a guard from outside came in to report.
"What is he doing here?" Li Shimin was a little puzzled.
"Your Majesty, when the old slave was leaving, His Royal Highness King Ji said that he would personally hand over the production drawings of the three-bow and strong crossbow to His Majesty." Wang De explained to Li Shimin.
"Oh, let him in."
A moment later, Li Shen walked into the main hall.
"See Aya," Li Shen saluted Li Shimin.
"What are you doing here?" Li Shimin asked knowingly.
"Back to Aye, my son is here to plead guilty, and to present a drawing of the three-bow bed crossbow." As he spoke, Li Shen took out a few pieces of paper and presented them with both hands.
Li Shimin watched Li Shen stand up, slowly walked down the steps to Li Shen, took the drawings in Li Shen's hand, and looked at them casually.
It's just that he can't understand the various data on it.
"Why didn't you give it earlier, I have to remind you." Li Shimin stared at Li Shen and asked.
Li Shen looked directly at Li Shimin and replied very seriously:
"I forgot. Do you think you've reported it? ”
"Hahahaha," Li Shimin laughed happily after hearing this,
Then he kicked Li Shen's ass.
"You rebel, if there is a next time, see if I don't kill you." After speaking, he walked to the study next to him.
Li Shen rubbed his buttocks with his hands, lowered his head and followed into the study.
Wang De sent the maidservant away and stood at the door by himself.
"Wang De should have told you that someone is secretly impeaching you, right?" Li Shimin came to the tea table and began to boil water.
"I heard about it, I don't know what Aya thinks about this." Li Shen looked at Li Shimin and asked,
He doesn't read words, he doesn't beat around the bush,
Li Shimin put the teapot down, turned around and said:
"Someone wants you dead."
"Or, Aya, disband the guard camp. The research institute also stopped research on ordnance. Li Shen asked cautiously.
"Bastard thing, how can Li Jiaerlang say that compromise is compromise, and your guard battalion is ordered by me personally, and there is no transgression of etiquette,
Your guard battalion is for you to watch the paper and printing workshops, do you know how many poor families and ordinary people have participated in the imperial examination in the past ten years?
It's already 50%!"
Li Shimin was a little angry, Li Shen's guard battalion was useful, in fact, Li Shimin didn't expect Li Shen to be able to train the guards into elite soldiers.
"And your research institute, the research of ordnance can't be stopped, this is related to the national strength of my Datang." Li Shimin added,
Li Shen's research institute invests tens of millions of yuan a year, which is of great help to the development of Datang's national strength, which Li Shimin has seen in recent years.
And most importantly, he doesn't have to pay for it, he can get the fruit,
If the research institute is returned to the imperial court, it will not take a year, and there will be countless twists and turns in the court demanding the closure of the research institute.
Because spending so much money in a year, things that don't benefit them at all are not allowed to appear.
"That~~ Aye, I've been impeached, and it's still going to be impeached, should I avoid it, I'm still young now, and I'm about to have a future, and I haven't lived enough." Li Shen showed an aggrieved expression.
"Okay, I know what you mean, I believe that you will not rebel, and your eldest brother will take care of you in the future.
But you yourself should also be careful not to be caught, and don't do it again in the future.
You have a long history in your house, and this kind of thing will be handed over to him in the future, and you will suffer if you don't know anything about the law and etiquette. ”
Li Shimin looked at Li Shen and said solemnly,
Li Shen looked at Li Shimin and nodded, he didn't know how much of it was true and how much was false, but it was inevitable that he would be careful in the future.
In this feudal society, no matter what your identity is, there is no absolute security, and Li Shen is very glad that he did not cross into a common person.
"Aya, do you know who impeached Er?" Li Shen asked suddenly.
He wanted to know who wanted to let him die, he was a person who held grudges, and he would take revenge.
Li Shimin glanced at Li Shen when he heard this, and shook his head.
"I don't know, I don't know when this secret piece was put in the middle book, and it has not been sealed with lacquer, and there is no name.
Many officials should have read the book. ”
Li Shen's eyes lit up after hearing this, this is really going to let himself die, the secret music actually didn't seal the paint, and wanted to spread the word about it.
Let the courtiers know about it, and then give everyone an excuse to attack themselves.
It's so vicious.
"Don't worry about it, I've already sent someone to look for it, and I'll take care of everything." Li Shimin comforted.
"Xie Aye, if Aye finds out, let me know, and I want to see who is going to put me to death."
Li Shimin knew that Li Shen planned to retaliate when he looked at Li Shen's expression, so he just nodded.
Li Shen's affairs had been completed, and he didn't plan to stay longer, so he took his leave.
Looking at the back of Li Shen walking out, Li Shimin sighed deeply.
"Alas~~~" showed a little tiredness on his face.
~~~~~~~~~~
The next day, Li Shen pulled more than 30 carts of gifts with great fanfare, drove cattle, sheep, chickens and ducks to his brother-in-law Zhou Daowu's old mansion Zhoufu.
Wei Fugui had already asked Li Mengjiang where the gift would be sent, Li Mengjiang knew that her brother's shot must be extraordinary, Li Mengjiang was virtuous, and after discussing with Zhou Daowu, he decided to send the gift to his mother-in-law in the old mansion.
Moreover, letting Li Shen go to the Zhou Mansion as a prince can also raise the level of the Zhou Mansion.
When Li Shen heard that it was sent to the Zhou Mansion, he also exchanged some treasures for practical things.
In front of the Zhou Mansion, Li Mengjiang and Zhou Daowu were already waiting at the door, and there were many Zhou family members, the older being Zhou Daowu's uncle Zhou Shaoji.
Li Shen got out of the car and came to Li Mengjiang and bowed his head and saluted.
"I've seen my sister."
Li Mengjiang habitually touched Li Shen's head, but Li Shen shook it and wanted to get rid of it.
"My brother has grown taller again." Li Mengjiang said happily.
"See His Royal Highness King Ji." The Zhou family saluted Li Shen.
"Well, you don't have to be polite, today I am also a relative, everyone is a family, don't be so restrained."
Li Shen showed an amiable smile, the smile of the superior.
"King Ji, please." Zhou Shaoji invited.
Li Mengjiang and Zhou Daowu accompanied Li Shen from the middle door into the old mansion of the Zhou family.
Entering the living room, the Zhou family invited Li Shen to sit down, and Li Shen said:
"I'm here today, mainly to give my sister some gifts from Yuanzheng.
Stone. ”
Shi stepped forward and took out the gift list and handed it to Li Mengjiang.
Li Mengjiang took it and handed it to Zhou Daowu,
"Brother, did you send it to your mother?" Li Mengjiang was not interested in what gift Li Shen gave,
"Not yet, I'm going to send it tomorrow, did my sister send it, if you don't send us together, you can still have a meal there tomorrow."
"Lang Jun, what do you think?" Li Mengjiang turned his head and asked Zhou Daowu.
