A few days later, just when Li Shen was bored, Wang Xuance arrived,

When Li Shen came out and saw Wang Xuance standing in the hall, his face was full of smiles.

"Oh, Xuan Ce, you've finally arrived, but you've made this king wait so hard."

Li Shen enthusiastically stepped forward and pulled Wang Xuance to sit down, and Chunxiang also poured a cup of tea for Wang Xuance.

Wang Xuance stood up and saluted Li Shenshen,

"Your Royal Highness King Ji."

"No need to be polite, no need to be polite, come and sit down, sit down and have a cup of tea."

Wang Xuance sat down again and said:

"Etiquette should not be abolished."

"Xuan Ce, this king is in a hurry to call you because he needs you to give this king a counselor, and this king has encountered an incident.

Originally, the king didn't want to care about this matter, but there was no way, so the king encountered it.

If this king doesn't care, he always feels uncomfortable in his heart. ”

Li Shen said to Wang Xuance,

Li Shen felt that although he was not a saint, he was still a good person, and he was a responsible person.

For example, if he encounters a person on the road and falls, he will definitely help him, or watch him get up and be okay before leaving.

Otherwise, he would have been thinking about how this person fell, whether he was injured, and whether he would die.

This made him lose his mental strength and have a lot of thoughts on his mind all day.

Wang Xuance understands Li Shen, and the prince of their family actually has great righteousness in his heart.

Seeing the suffering of others, he comforted:

"Lord Wang, the eldest husband has something to do and something not to do. If the prince thinks that this matter is for the sake of the common people in the world, then this matter is right. ”

"Alas, it's still Xuan Ce who can speak, this king asked you to come to give advice to this king, I found that Cangzhou Assassin Shi Xi is accused of sitting on stolen goods, corrupting the law, accepting bribes, and shielding wicked people like Li Dabian."

Immediately, Li Shen gave Wang Xuance a detailed introduction to Wang Xuance from the time he met the ship running aground, then to the events in Xiejiazhuang, and finally what happened in the Cangzhou court.

And he also showed Wang Xuance the excerpts recorded by Xie Jiazhuang before.

After listening, Wang Xuance pondered for a moment, raised his head to Li Shen and said:

"The prince's matter is actually not a problem, first of all, we must first find out whether there is anyone in the court, if he has no one in the court, then whether he is guilty or not is actually up to the prince.

This is not as complicated as the prince imagined,

According to what the prince said, the minister dared to conclude that this debate must have received a lot of money from Li Dabian, and it was impossible for him to be innocent.

As for whether he was greedy for the money to clean up the river, then we need to investigate. ”

Li Shen was very surprised when he heard this, he was an idle prince who could have such a lot of power, and he was a state assassin, a big man, and he was a fourth-grade dynasty.

Can you still control whether he is guilty or not? Li Shen was skeptical.

"Xuan Ce, are you talking to this king in a dream? That's the four products of the dynasty, a big man, how can it be said that if you are guilty, you are guilty. ”

Li Shen reminded.

"Hehe, now the prince can't do it, but what about this?"

After Wang Xuance finished with a smile, he took out a letter from his arms, the seal was intact, and there was no handwriting on it.

However, Li Shen recognized this sealing paint, which was Li Shimin's special sealing paint.

"Lord Wang, when the minister set off, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince asked the minister to go to Luoyang, and after His Majesty read the letter you wrote to the prince, let the minister personally hand over your secret letter to the prince."

Seeing Li Shen's doubts, Wang Xuance explained.

Li Shen took the secret letter, glanced at the sealed lacquer, and then opened the letter and read it.

However, this letter is a little strange, the first two pages are actually Li Chengqian's handwriting, isn't it a letter from Luoyang's father?

Doubt is doubt, Li Shen still read it carefully,

In the letter, Li Chengqian first said that the imperial court had allocated funds for Cangzhou Mansion to clean up the river, and then asked Li Shen to investigate the matter, and if necessary, he could transfer the government soldiers of Cangzhou Prefecture.

Let Li Shen be sure to investigate carefully, eliminate all the corrupt officials in Cangzhou Mansion, and kill them if they resist.

After reading it, Li Shen understood what Li Chengqian meant, and then looked at the last page,

The last page is a holy decree written by Li Shimin himself, which is very concise, but the content is very explosive.

Feng: Li Shen, the king of Ji, is the envoy of the ten dethroned provinces, inspects the ten provinces, and is controlled by the king of Ji wherever he goes.

After reading it, Li Shen took a closer look at the seal, and there were four big characters on it: "The Emperor's Seal".

Li Shen's head exploded in an instant.

"The Emperor's Seal?" Li Shen shouted.

"What?" Wang Xuance was also shocked when he heard this.

You must know that the decree of the Tang Dynasty was not completed by covering the emperor's jade seal.

Instead, there are a large number of signatures, from the prime minister, the deputy prime minister, to the Zhongshu Sheren, to the Shizhong, to the Shangshu Provincial officials who received this holy decree, and the staff who made the holy decree, etc., everyone has to sign.

Li Shen had previously received a holy decree for the reward, and half of it was signed.

And the seal on it is not the emperor's seal, but the words "emperor's seal".

This decree was an edict issued by Li Shimin alone without going through the three provinces.

Li Shendu felt that his father might have to be impeached after returning to Chang'an.

The Tang Dynasty was different from the Ming and Qing dynasties, which were already autocratic imperial powers, abolished the post of prime minister, and only covered the emperor's jade seal on the holy decree.

The Tang Dynasty needs to go through three provinces, and if it is unreasonable, I have to refute it.

Li Shen handed the holy decree to Wang Xuance for him to see, and Wang Xuance read it for a while before saying:

"Lord Wang, isn't this official a little too big, the ten deposed envoys, and you can also mobilize government soldiers, the focus is on the cheap actions in the back, isn't it a little ......?"

In fact, Li Shen also wondered, he said that he was going to Guangzhou to do Dang Renhong's business, and he would come back after finishing his work, if it weren't for the river channel, Li Shen would not have stayed here.

His father gave him such a big official and such a big power, what is this for?

"Lord Wang, do you think it will have anything to do with the trip to Guangzhou?" Wang Xuance asked suddenly.

"Why?" Li Shen looked at him puzzled.

"No matter how you say it, Dang Renhong is also a hero, and he is also an old minister, Your Majesty may be afraid that Dang Renhong will not accept you, so he named you a big official to deter Dang Renhong."

Wang Xuance's words made sense, and Li Shen nodded

"Well, there is indeed this possibility, and now that there is Dang Renhong, Aya hates corruption and perversion of the law.

Do you think it's possible that after a while, Aya will let me go around the country for a lap? ”

Li Shen suddenly thought of a question, his father is usually quite reliable, but only with them is unreliable.

The more he thought about it, the more he thought it was very likely.

"Lord Wang, don't think so much now, this identity should be more than enough to deal with Xi Wei." Wang Xuance said.

It is inconvenient for him to evaluate the father-son feud between the prince and His Majesty.

At this moment, a guard outside who was in charge of registering Li Dafang's guilt in the Assassin's Mansion ran back.

"Lord, lord, something is wrong. Li Dabi hanged himself in prison. ”

(Classes:

After the Qin Dynasty, the emperor's seal was called "Xi", and it was called "Jade Seal".

There are six parties in total, which are "the Emperor's Seal", "the Emperor's Seal", "the Emperor's Seal", "the Seal of the Son of Heaven", "the Seal of the Son of Heaven", "the Seal of the Son of Heaven", "the Seal of the Emperor
