"Your Highness Prince Ji, this is what we should do.
Your Highness Prince Ji is tired from the journey, please go into the city to rest first. I will prepare a banquet for your welcome later."
Pei Ziyu said modestly.
"Okay, but the banquet should be held at the office of Prince Ji's Mansion. We can't always spend the court's money."
Li Shen nodded, took the lead, and was followed by hundreds of carriages.
Pei Ziyu and other officials looked at the hundreds of carriages and knew that Prince Ji had made a great harvest this time.
After entering the city gate, Li Shen saw many people coming out of the city gate, lining the streets to welcome him.
"People, this time I went out to inspect the Anxi Protectorate and wiped out 10,000 rebels at the foot of the Tianshan Mountains. I directly destroyed the rebels' hiding place, and thousands of people were robbed.
From now on, you can rest assured that the imperial court is capable of guaranteeing your safety and you will not be harassed by the rebels anymore."
Looking at the people, Li Shen suddenly shouted to the surroundings.
"Is this true?"
"They actually wiped out tens of thousands of people. No way."
"I think it's believable. Look at the hundreds of carriages behind. Aren't there a lot of weapons and soft armor? There are also so many treasures."
After hearing what Li Shen said, everyone started talking among themselves.
Wiping out tens of thousands of rebels is no ordinary achievement.
"Congratulations to His Royal Highness Prince Ji on his great victory." A loud shout came from the crowd.
"Congratulations to His Royal Highness Prince Ji on his great victory." Then the crowd began to shout together.
Li Shen then smiled with satisfaction. The people who received his flattery loved him and waved in greeting.
He really wanted to say hello, comrades.
Li Shen went straight back to the office, and Xue Rengui also brought his men back to the base. All the goods were stored in the office's warehouse.
This place used to be responsible for transporting goods back to the Great Wall, so the warehouse is very large.
Before returning, Xue Rengui asked Li Shen how to deal with the rebels he brought back. Li Shen thought about it and decided to lock them up first.
"I pay my respects to His Majesty Prince Ji. I did not come to greet you. I hope Your Majesty will forgive me for not doing so."
When Li Shen returned to the office, he met Wang Xuance.
"It's okay. I didn't inform you when I came back, but why didn't you go to the governor's mansion?"
Li Shen waved his hand. Before he left, he asked Wang Xuance to manage the governor's office for him.
"Your Majesty, I am sorting out the accounts of Xizhou Prefecture over the years. In order to avoid suspicion, it is more appropriate for me to return here."
Wang Xuance explained.
"Check the accounts?" Li Shen was a little stunned, but he quickly recovered and said to Wang Xuance:
"Well, I just got back. I will go take a shower and change clothes first. You call Xue Rengui to wait in the study.
Tell me what happened during my absence."
"Yes, I will go and inform Sima Xue right away." Wang Xuance took the order and withdrew.
Li Shen was helped to wash off the dust from the journey. Half an hour later, Li Shen came to the study in loose casual clothes.
"I've met the prince."
"Well, everyone sit down." Li Shen came and lay down on the rocking chair, took the ice cream handed to him by Chunxiang and took a sip.
"Hey? By the way, how is the prince consort?"
Li Shen suddenly remembered that there was another Zhou Daowu.
"Your Highness Prince Ji, the prince consort's injuries have improved a lot and he can move around now," Wang Xuance reported.
"Oh, someone, go and invite the prince consort over." Li Shen shouted to the outside after hearing this.
After a while, Zhou Daowu came to the study.
"I've met the prince."
"We are all family, no need to be polite. Please sit down and someone will serve them tea." Li Shen waved his hand.
"Daowu, how is your injury?"
Li Shen asked. He transferred Zhou Daowu to handle the military affairs of Xizhou. Xue Rengui had to lead the guard battalion and had no time for many trivial matters.
"Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. I'm almost well now." Zhou Daowu replied.
“Don’t force yourself. It takes a hundred days to heal a broken bone. You still need some time to recover from your injury. Stay with me first.
When you are almost well again, I will entrust you with an important task."
This is my brother-in-law. What if he leaves any sequelae? My sister will be so sad.
My task is to ensure that all original parts are intact during Zhou Daowu's stay in Xizhou.
He had originally wanted the original paint, but he didn't expect an accident to happen before it arrived in Xizhou. If it was completely damaged, he didn't know how to explain to his sister.
"Yes, I will follow your orders." Zhou Daowu was not a fool. He came here to be taken care of by his brother-in-law.
He is not stupid enough to say that he doesn't want to be taken care of or be a flower in a greenhouse. That would be crazy.
"Okay, let's get down to business now.
Rengui, later you will write a memorial about the whole process of your trip to Xizhou and have the newspaper send it back to Chang'an City to His Majesty.
Write it more beautifully, especially the part where I personally lead the troops to suppress the rebels.
However, let's not talk about the captured materials and the gifts from the tribes. These are just trivial matters, so as not to pollute His Majesty's eyes.
Especially the fact that I got that treasure, you must not let His Majesty know, understand?"
As the saying goes, wealth should not be shown off. It is enough for you to know about making money yourself. Moreover, as the ancients said: It is not that there is no good thing that you are afraid of, but that there is no good person. No matter how defensive you are, you can never guard against a thief in your own home.
Don't be afraid of thieves stealing, just be afraid of thieves missing you.
He had to travel through mountains and rivers, overcome numerous difficulties and obstacles, and personally fight on the battlefield to get these things with great difficulty, so he would not let anyone get them for free.
"This...Prince, is this deceiving the emperor?" Xue Rengui naturally understood what Li Shen meant, but he was also confused in his heart.
Concealing the truth and not reporting it seems to be considered a crime of deceiving the emperor, right?
You and your dad seemed to be having a lot of fun, but you choose to take the blame.
"What do you mean by deceiving the king? How could I have ever deceived the king? I just didn't say it.
Your Majesty is very busy, so please don't bother him with trivial matters. Just write the battle report."
When Li Shen heard what Xue Rengui said, he glared at Xue Rengui and said unhappily.
"Yes, I obey your command." Xue Rengui agreed quickly. Anyway, he could say that it was Prince Ji who ordered it.
I just don’t know if Prince Ji will be beaten when His Majesty finds out about this.
The harvest this time is not small.
Wang Xuance and Zhou Daowu were secretly helpless after listening to this. Prince Ji was so bold that he would do anything for money.
"Xuan Ce, let's talk about the situation of suppressing the rebels first."
After finishing his words, Li Shen looked at Wang Xuance.
Wang Xuance stood up:
"Your Majesty, Prince Ji, in the past half month, the soldiers we sent out have reaped great rewards and wiped out many rebel forces.
A total of more than 7,000 enemies were killed and more than 2,000 were captured.
The seized materials are countless, and everything has been recorded. Please review it, Your Majesty."
As he spoke, Wang Xuance took out an account book and handed it to Li Shen.
Li Shen opened it and took a look. It was indeed a great harvest, including food, weapons, some gold and silver, and rare treasures. These were all obtained by the rebels when they intercepted the caravan.
"Very good, very good, you can share some of this with His Majesty."
