Chapter 605: Visitation and Intercession
The news of Li Shen's imprisonment soon spread.
The courtiers were so happy that they almost didn't put up lights in their homes, and the happiest of them was the family.
When Shi returned to the paper mill to pick up Princess Lu Dingniang and them, there were even rumors from the outside world.
Since ancient times, there have been no secrets in the palace.
And Lu Dingniang knew that Li Shen was also frightened when she was taken into prison.
However, the stone had Li Shen's explanation, telling Lu Dingniang that Li Shen was just going to play for a while.
This made Lu Dingniang feel at ease, but there was some blame for Li Shen in her heart, obviously she was imprisoned in the prison of the Criminal Department, and she had to say that she was going to play.
The prison on Li Shen's side was cleaned up by the subordinates of King Ji's mansion.
The iron railings on all sides were covered with brocade.
Even the carpet of the Western Regions is spread on the ground, and a large bed is impressively included.
This is a prison, just like a resort hotel.
Chunxiang Dongmei also rushed to the prison to serve Li Shen, and Shi was still outside with a few eunuchs.
On the same day, some beauties came to visit Li Shen with pastries and the like, but Zhang Xingcheng didn't dare to stop him.
These people are all harem beauties, and you know which one has won His Majesty's favor.
Li Shen's cell was brightly lit, in stark contrast to the damp and gloomy prison of the Ministry of Punishment.
Li Shen was in this prison like a paradise, and Zhang Xingcheng was dumbfounded.
The Criminal Department has never had such a lively time since ancient times, especially not so many harem beauties.
Li Shen was in the prison with a coffee table and a few chairs, drinking tea and chatting.
After the next dynasty, the first to come were Wei Chi Jingde and several military generals.
Wei Chi Jingde grinned as soon as he walked into the cell.
"Look, whatever I say, King Ji will not treat himself badly wherever he goes.
The one who can make this prison of the Ministry of Punishment so delicate and elegant is none other than King Ji. Ha ha. ”
"Yes, sure enough, King Ji is still King Ji."
Several generals who followed also chimed in.
"Hahahaha, a few people are smiling, please sit down." Li Shen also laughed.
"I've seen His Royal Highness King Ji." A few people saluted.
"Okay, don't be polite, this king is a prisoner now." Li Shen waved his hand.
The two maidservants immediately began to make tea for everyone.
Li Shen was the first to say:
"The king has not thanked a few people, and so many people impeached the king that day, but only a few spoke up.
The King is here to thank you. Li Shen arched his hand at a few people.
"Oh, there is no need to be like this, His Royal Highness King Ji is polite, and we can't get used to their group of civil servants turning black and white upside down." Wei Chi Jingde waved his hand again and again.
"Above this court, there are still a few people who are more benevolent, and their group of people are a group of villains." Li Shen also nodded.
"His Royal Highness King Ji, how many days are you going to stay here? You have been in for half a day, and you have already known all the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty. Wei Chi Jingde asked.
"Alas, it also depends on when my Aya is gracious, this time I'm Aya angry." Li Shen sighed.
"King Ji doesn't have to worry too much, the old minister's understanding of His Majesty, King Ji won't be able to go out soon."
"Then borrow the auspicious words of the Duke of Hubei, and when the war in Goguryeo is over, after Brother Baoqi and them come back, the king will naturally be grateful."
Li Shen said to a few people, and also expressed his gratitude, and when the sons of these people come back, Li Shen will express it.
"Haha, King Ji is polite, if you want to say thank you, we also want to thank Your Highness.
Look at these bastards now, all of them are five or six, all of them are the credit of King Ji. Everyone also said a few polite words.
King Ji's shot must be extraordinary, and his son has followed King Ji to make money over the years.
And it's the kind that doesn't need a penny, and now it's rich and flowing.
A few more people talked a few more words, and Wei Chi Jingde got up to say goodbye.
Li Shen sent him to the door as if he was at home, and when he left, he politely said welcome to come back next time.
At night, Li Shimin came to Concubine Yang's residence, where he was going to sleep today.
He knew that Li Shen's rebel son would definitely ask the queen for help, and when the queen interceded, he couldn't help but give face.
And the Daji Hall can't go even more, lock up other people's sons, how to face Wei Guifei.
So he decided to come to Concubine Yang today.
"Concubine See Your Majesty." Concubine Yang greeted her at the door.
"Well, Concubine Yang, I'm going to sleep with you today." Li Shimin said a word and walked inside.
"It's Your Majesty, the concubine will arrange it." Concubine Yang nodded.
She didn't show joy like those talented and beautiful people.
After all, he has been married to Li Shimin's old husband and wife, and he also gave birth to two sons for Li Shimin, namely the third son Li Ke, the king of Wu, and the sixth son, Li Ke, the king of Shu.
Concubine Yang is the emperor's daughter, the daughter of Emperor Yang of the former Sui Dynasty, and she can definitely be called the queen of the famous family.
After Li Shimin entered, he came to the front hall and sat down.
Concubine Yang arranged for her subordinates to boil water for Li Shimin, prepare for bathing, and then also came to the front hall to make tea for Li Shimin.
Li Shimin took a sip of tea to relieve the fatigue of the whole day, and Concubine Yang stepped forward to rub Li Shimin's shoulders.
"Your Majesty, I heard that Your Majesty has arrested King Ji and put him in the prison of the Criminal Department. I wonder what big mistake King Ji made? ”
At this moment, Concubine Yang asked softly.
"Well, it's not a big crime, it's just that he is stubborn by nature and has a detached personality, so I will give him a little punishment." Li Shimin closed his eyes and said.
"Your Majesty, if that's the case, isn't it a bit of a fuss to put King Ji in the prison of the Criminal Department?
was known to the outside world, and thought that King Ji had done something rebellious, which also damaged the dignity of the royal family?
Your Majesty, the concubine begs Your Majesty, if there is no fault, let King Ji go. ”
After Concubine Yang finished speaking, Li Shimin opened his eyes and looked at Concubine Yang.
"Why would Concubine Yang intercede for that rebel?"
Li Shimin was a little puzzled, in this palace, except for the queen, everyone else rarely meddles in this kind of thing.
Unless it is a close relative, otherwise there is too much nosy, and it is easy to be implicated.
To put it bluntly, nosy is easy to die.
Concubine Yang heard Li Shimin's question and smiled slightly:
"Don't hide it from Your Majesty, the concubine thinks that King Ji is a good boy, and for so many years, King Ji has sent things to the palace every month every year.
This child is filial, in addition to the Lizheng Hall and the Daji Palace, he did not forget to bring us a gift.
When I was young, I often came to play in the palace of our concubines and talk to us.
It's just that when I got older, I didn't come because of the rules.
In the harem, the concubine teaches well, King Ji is filial, knows the number of etiquette, understands the rules,
When we were chatting, even the queen mother was very fond of King Ji.
We haven't seen the stubbornness of nature, the character of jumping out of the sky, and the sloppiness that is rumored outside,
King Ji is still a child, and he has not yet reached the age of a weak crown, so he likes to play around, which is harmless. ”
Li Shimin saw that Concubine Yang was very sincere, and he couldn't help but sigh a little in his heart, this rebel son still has such a good reputation in the harem.
