Chapter 2172 I miss home.
Pei Ziyu's words were full of warnings and threats, and everyone understood that what he said about their lives being in danger did not mean that Prince Ji wanted to kill them.
As for who wants to kill them, there are many people, it could be Pei Ziyu and General Li, or other officials.
It could even be the Grand Protector Guo Xiaoke who was far away on the battlefield.
At this time, everyone understood that they were just the last link in the entire corruption chain.
There are many ways to make those who are really at the top shut up.
"Don't worry, Pei Changshi, we will never say anything else. We have already committed serious enough sins."
Someone immediately echoed.
"Very good, then you will just stay here for a few more days. When Chief Secretary Wang comes back, I will talk to General Li about this matter for you."
Pei Ziyu smiled.
From beginning to end, he didn't say a word related to these criminal officials.
At this moment, Wang Xuance was drinking tea with Li Shen in the office of Prince Ji's mansion.
Dozens of guards in front were still digging the swimming pool that Li Shen requested.
"Your Highness, it's almost time. I have to go back." Putting down the teacup, Wang Xuance prepared to get up.
"Don't worry, give them a little more time. If they don't explain clearly when you go back, and you see them again,
It will be very embarrassing, right?" Li Shen said calmly while drinking tea and pressing his hands.
After hearing this, Wang Xuance sat down again with peace of mind.
"Your Majesty is right. Then give them more time."
"Xuan Ce, we have been here for almost a month. Are you used to the life here?" Li Shen put down the teacup and looked at Wang Xuance.
"Your Majesty, I think it's not bad. Although the climate here is a bit dry, it's still bearable."
Wang Xuance replied that he didn't understand why King Ji asked him such a question.
"Well, you'll get used to it. I'm a little uncomfortable with it, especially the food, which is too monotonous.
It would be nice if I could have a bite of seafood right now."
Li Shen nodded, with some longing in his eyes, and he was a little greedy.
"Seafood? Your Majesty, it's not easy to transport seafood from this place. This place is at least ten thousand miles away from the sea, right?
Even if there is ice, it is difficult to transport it here."
Wow, Prince Ji actually wants to eat seafood. He is really used to a life of luxury.
When Wang Xuance heard Li Shen’s unreasonable accusation, he almost rolled his eyes and thought to himself, of course you are not used to it.
There was no duplicate dish in Prince Ji’s mansion for a whole month. Supplies were scarce here, so it was good enough to have something to eat.
The food in the entire Tang Dynasty, including the imperial palace, was not as luxurious as that in Prince Ji’s mansion.
A ginseng black chicken soup had to be prepared six hours in advance, and King Ji had to decide what to eat for the three meals a day the night before.
Otherwise there would be no time to make it, so you can imagine how complicated and luxurious it is.
Although King Ji also brought two chefs here, after all, even the best cook cannot cook without rice, as there are not so many ingredients.
"Alas~~~~Xuan Ce, I am a little homesick. I miss my mother, my mother-in-law, and my grandfather.
If I write to His Majesty like this, will His Majesty let me go back?"
Li Shen sighed, with some nostalgia for his hometown in his eyes. No wonder his elder brother-in-law Ashina Zhong cried and shouted to return to Chang'an after being sent to the Ashina tribe.
He doesn't even want a title of king.
He suddenly had the same feeling now. After being used to the prosperous life in the big city, he suddenly came to the backward Xizhou. He also wanted to return to Chang'an City.
Anyway, his purpose of coming here has been achieved. He has been to Qu Zhiping's tribe and got the cotton.
The workshop will start looking for people to start work soon, so why stay here?
Hearing Prince Ji's question, Wang Xuance didn't even think about it, and shook his head in Li Shen's expectant eyes:
"Your Majesty, His Majesty will not let you go back until the army returns victoriously."
Wang Xuance thought to himself, "Are you thinking about your parents? You are clearly thinking about the luxurious life in Prince Ji's mansion."
A basin of cold water extinguished Li Shen's expectations, but he still had some hope.
"How do you know if you don't try? I will write a letter to your majesty right now, saying that I miss him and want to go back to visit my father and mother."
Li Shen was about to stand up as he spoke. He had to do what he decided to do immediately without any delay.
"Your Majesty, what if His Majesty personally brings the Queen and the Imperial Concubine to visit you?"
Wang Xuance's words were like a bolt from the blue. Li Shen's body, which was about to move, instantly became stiff.
"No... can't I?"
He felt a little guilty saying this.
"Your Majesty, everything is possible. Don't forget that last time His Majesty went to an important city in Qinghai just to pursue Your Majesty."
Wang Xuance reminded in a low voice.
Yes, didn't he catch up to Qinghai Road last time? At this moment, Li Shen suddenly felt a lingering fear, but fortunately, it was just a sudden idea, and Wang Xuance reminded him.
Otherwise, if I rashly wrote a letter and sent it back, wouldn't it be like opening the gates of hell and inviting the King of Hell to come and visit?
"That was a close call, Xuan Ce. What you said makes sense. Fortunately, you are here, otherwise I would have made a big mistake.
If my father came here, we wouldn't even get a sip of soup."
Li Shen patted his chest, looking like he had survived a calamity.
"If Your Majesty misses home, please write a letter back to the Princess, and I will have the newspaper send it back."
Wang Xuance could only laugh and cry when he saw Prince Ji's expression. He didn't dare to get involved in the love-hate relationship between the father and son.
But what Prince Ji was worried about was not that His Majesty would have to travel a long distance, nor that he would be punished for coming here, but that His Majesty would come and take away all his money.
This really fits with Prince Ji's character.
"I suddenly don't want to go home again. A man should be ambitious and should stand tall and make achievements. Love affairs will only delay my speed in killing the enemy."
Li Shen's face suddenly showed firmness, and he spoke seriously.
"Your Highness has great ambitions, and I admire you very much." Wang Xuance immediately cooperated and saluted and complimented him.
Li Shen nodded with satisfaction. Wang Xuance was getting better and better at it. The emotional value he provided was very good.
"Xuan Ce, what news has come from Chang'an City these days?"
Li Shen picked up the teacup, took a sip, and began to ask again.
"Your Highness, there is no news. It has been half a month since the last news came back."
Wang Xuance replied.
"Shouldn't it be? I've been away for several months, something should have happened in Chang'an City.
Apart from the court, nothing else happened?"
Li Shen stroked his chin and fell into deep thought. Life was too dull and meaningless.
"Your Majesty, if there was anything, Shopkeeper Wang would have asked the newspaper to send a letter. Since it hasn't been sent, it means that Chang'an City is peaceful."
"Xuan Ce, it's not a good thing that everything is too peaceful. Chang'an is such a big capital with a population of one million.
How can nothing happen in a few months? Don't you find it strange?"
Hearing Wang Xuance's comfort, Li Shen frowned.
