Datang: What's wrong with my fief being a billion points larger?

Chapter 89 Life is like a play, it all depends on acting skills
Li Shimin came to the main seat and sat down, looking at Wang Xuance.

"Xuan Ce, please take a seat. I already know about Yuan Ji's stay in Lingnan. I was very angry after hearing this. I didn't expect that in Chang'an, people would not let Yuan Ji go even after he went to Lingnan.

"Does Xuan Ce have any evidence? If so, I will definitely avenge Yuan Ji, no matter who he is, I will never let him off easily!"

Wang Xuance looked at Li Shimin, who was furious and worried about Li Yuanji, and felt a sense of emotion in his heart. There was the saint before, the prince after, and now the King of Qin. His acting skills were really superb. It was obviously done by someone from the King of Qin's mansion. Look at Li Shimin's current expression. Who could have guessed that it was Li Shimin who had someone do it?

In Wang Xuance's eyes, it was impossible for that person to do such a thing without Li Shimin's permission. Such a big thing would never be done behind Li Shimin's back.

It was because of this knowledge that Wang Xuance sighed even more. If Li Yuanji had not reminded him in advance, he would have been cheated by these three people. They were the kind of people who would still help others count money even after being sold, and they would probably be so sincere to others after just a few words.

However, even with Li Yuanji's reminder, he almost believed Li Yuan, and Li Jiancheng's performance was also very poor.

At this moment, Wang Xuance suddenly understood why Li Yuanji wanted to go to Lingnan. How many brain cells would it consume every day to stay with these people? With Li Yuanji's personality, could he get along with these people in this way?

Wang Xuance didn't say anything. He took out a few letters with a smile on his face and handed them to Li Shimin.

Li Shimin was full of doubts. Looking at Wang Xuance's mysterious look, he did not ask. In his opinion, these letters were written to him by Li Yuanji. But looking at the opened letters, Li Shimin became even more confused.

Then he opened it and began to read. As he read, Li Shimin's face became extremely gloomy, and his hands holding the letter tightened, as if he wanted to tear the letters into pieces.

"King of Qin, before I came down, King of Qi said that this letter should be given to King of Qin and not to be shown to anyone else. The Saint and the Crown Prince are both unaware of the existence of this letter. However, Feng Xuan, whom I brought with me, has been taken away by someone sent by the Saint. King Qi said that this letter should be left with King of Qin."

After hearing this, Li Shimin paused and slowly let go of the letter that was almost torn into pieces.

At this moment, Li Shimin's eyes were red and he slowly looked at Wang Xuance.

"Did the King of Qi tell me who it was?"

Wang Xuance shook his head.

“King Qin, the King Qi does not know, and no one else knows, but the King Qi refuses to believe that the letter is true. If I know, the King Qin must know it too.

I am the Chief Clerk of the Qi Wang Palace. The Qi Wang does not want to believe this fact and still holds out hope for the Qin Wang. However, as a minister of the Qi Wang, I should share his worries. I am here to ask the Qin Wang to deal with this matter seriously. "

After hearing this, Li Shimin suddenly laughed, and the gloomy look on his face disappeared, as if nothing had happened.

"Xuan Ce is truly a man of great talent. With all his talents, has he ever thought about serving the court? If Xuan Ce is willing, I will personally recommend him to the Saint. With Xuan Ce's abilities, he will surely be put to important positions."

When Wang Xuance heard this, he was even more speechless. As for Li Jiancheng, Li Jiancheng cared about the evidence and Feng Xuan. As for Li Shimin, Li Shimin wanted to destroy the letters and asked him for evidence. Now, he started to dig him up.

Wang Xuance's face was solemn, and he spoke immediately. "I appreciate the King of Qin's kindness. I was originally a minor official in Rongzhou. It was the King of Qi who saw through my talent and valued me so much. I have also read a few books and know that a person must be loyal and righteous to survive in the world.

Moreover, the King of Qi was having a hard time in Lingnan, having encountered dozens of ambushes along the way. When he arrived in Leizhou, the King of Qi could not bear to see the people suffer, so he distributed all the supplies he brought to the people.

The King of Qin also knew that Lingnan was a poor place. The people wore coarse cloth, which was not enough to cover their whole bodies. Some people even wrapped themselves in a few leaves, not to mention food. In addition, the people they brought with them were prone to illness. The King of Qi built new houses for them, distributed clothes, sent doctors to treat them, made farm tools, and reclaimed wasteland for cultivation.

Now the King of Qi is living a hard life in Lingnan. I never thought that the King of Qi who came from Chang'an could endure that kind of suffering. The palace is just a small room. Late at night, I happened to hear the King of Qi still crying.

Even the iron pot used for cooking has to be used with great care. Once it breaks, all the iron used to make the pot will be gone.

The King of Qi is in such a difficult situation now. I have received great kindness from the King of Qi. How can I leave the King of Qi when he is in trouble? I hope the King of Qin will forgive me."

Wang Xuance's words were tragic and desolate. He was originally describing his loyalty and Li Yuanji's kindness to him, but the difficulties mixed in seemed to be the protagonists.

As Li Shimin listened to Wang Xuance's words, he felt that this scene was very familiar. It was so much like the time when Li Yuanji came to the Prince of Qin's Mansion to ask him for supplies when he was about to go out. He also cried poor in the same way, but now it was a different person, and he spoke even poorer.

Li Yuanji couldn't bear to see the people suffer? If Li Shimin believed it, he would be a fool. He even distributed all the supplies he brought to the people. If he really believed it, he would be a fool.

However, he also heard the hidden meaning in Wang Xuance's words. Li Yuanji was in trouble now and lacked various supplies, including food, medicine, clothing, iron, etc. These were all proposed by Wang Xuance. Not only did he have to give them, but he had to give more, otherwise the letters in his hands might end up on the desks of Li Yuan and Li Jiancheng.

Li Shimin was really angry, but he knew that he would be defeated by Li Yuanji this time, especially since there was a witness like Feng Xuan, who was brought into the palace by Li Yuan. Li Shimin wanted to kill him even more.

However, despite being extremely angry in his heart, his face was full of emotion and he looked compassionate.

"Yuanji really cares about the people. With such a heart and the ability to do this, he is worthy of being the King of Qi of the Tang Dynasty.

Lingnan is poor, and the local people are causing chaos again and again. I know Yuanji's difficulties very well, and I am deeply worried. When will Xuan Ce set out to return?"

Wang Xuance's face was still filled with sorrow.

"Report to the King of Qin, I will be leaving for Lingnan in three days. In fact, I came here for another reason. The King of Qi is in Lingnan and prepared some small items for the King of Qin. The King of Qi told me that although he had some grievances with the King of Qin at first, they were resolved later. The King of Qin is a great brother, so he asked me to bring them."

Then Wang Xuance had someone bring up the rocking chair and snow salt. After Li Shimin learned about them, he became interested in the rosewood, especially the snow salt. However, after listening to what Wang Xuance said, Li Shimin had to put those thoughts aside for the time being.

"Yuanji is really thoughtful. As your brother, I can't help you much. I can only prepare some supplies for you to take back with you. They will be delivered to you in two days. You must bring them back to Lingnan."
