Chapter 1887 Recommending King Jin
Li Shen's voice was always so discordant every time he attended court, and the court officials were no longer surprised.
He has done many outrageous things in the court, so what does it matter if he says something discordant?
Even if Li Shen urinated in the Taiji Hall in front of all the ministers, the ministers would think that this was a normal behavior of Prince Ji.
So when Li Shen said that he would be sick in two days, which was obviously a lie to the emperor, there was not much reaction in the court.
Even Li Chengqian looked calm, as if it was a very normal thing.
Li Shenju was somewhat surprised by the crowd's reaction.
Why are these people so calm? I just refused. Don’t they think it’s strange that they are giving up the chance for revenge?
"Your Highness, what I just said was that I will be ill in a few days and cannot take on this important task." Li Shen felt that they might not be clear, so he repeated it again.
"Yes, I understand." Li Chengqian replied calmly.
"No, I mean that I don't want to try this case. I will be sick in two days." Seeing Li Chengqian's reaction, Li Shen emphasized it again.
"Well, you have it, right? You have it, right?" Li Chengqian waved his hand nonchalantly.
What the hell? What's going on? Am I speaking so weakly now? Li Shen's eyes widened, and he began to doubt himself.
I am the protagonist, shouldn't I be the kind of person who stirs up a thousand waves with just one stone? Even if it's just a little boiling point,
Why are you so cold? Don’t you treat me as a human being?
"Fourth brother, did you not understand what I said just now?" Li Shen looked at Li Tai beside him with some suspicion.
Li Tai turned his head and looked at Li Shen, nodding affirmatively:
"I understand. I understand too. You said you are sick."
Bah, bah, bah, you are sick, your whole family is sick. Li Shen rolled his eyes.
Is this guy taking this opportunity to scold me?
"Fourth brother, why is the eldest brother so calm? And I feel that you are not surprised either." Li Shen asked.
This time it was Li Tai's turn to roll his eyes at Li Shen, who said nonchalantly:
"What does your illness have to do with me? You are always sick anyway."
I%#￥@... Li Shen cursed in his heart and ignored Li Tai.
"Ninth brother..." He started teasing Li Zhi again.
Li Zhi didn't even look at him, he looked straight ahead and said:
"I don't want to talk to you in case I get infected."
I @￥%#……
Li Shen was choked up to the point that he was so unpopular.
Li Xiaogong and Li Daozon, who were near Li Shen, as well as Ma Zhou and others in the back row, were all speechless when they heard the conversation between the three princes.
Is this the daily communication between princes?
"Since Prince Ji is ill, let's change someone else to try the case. I think..."
Li Chengqian knew that Li Shen was unwilling to participate in political affairs, so he did not force him. His father also said that as long as he was useful at the critical moment, it would be fine.
Normally, Li Shen can do whatever he wants, and you just need to keep an eye on him and make sure he doesn't get into trouble as much as possible.
Just as he was about to let the three provinces take charge of the trial, Li Shen suddenly shouted:
"What, Brother Jiu, you want to preside over this case?"
This sentence interrupted Li Chengqian's next words and he turned his gaze to Li Shen.
Li Shen stepped forward and bowed:
"Your Highness, Brother Nine said he wants to be the presiding judge in this case.
I also admire my ninth brother.
After all, three provincial governors are involved in this case, which is of no trivial importance. Having the case tried by the ninth brother, a prince, also represents the court's loyalty to the case.
The Liu family is a large family with intricate ties to many families. Anyone who serves as the chief judge will be suspected of cheating.
As the chief judge, Ninth Brother represents the royal family and will certainly be fair and just without favoritism or corruption.
Your Highness, I want to help you and do things for the court. Please allow me to do so."
What Li Shen said was well-reasoned and convincing. The Liu family was indeed a big family in Guanzhong and had intermarriages with many families.
It is not far-fetched to say that it is favoritism and fraud.
Li Shen said and stepped back.
"Li Shen~~~" Li Zhi's low roar came to my ears.
This bastard definitely did it on purpose. When did I say I would preside over this case?
Although he had no relationship with the Hedong Liu family, Liu Shi was the uncle of his Princess Jin.
From this perspective, it doesn’t matter.
Liu Shi has always been on his side, and now Li Shen actually wants him to try the case. Isn't this deliberately making things difficult for him?
If he were to give a light sentence out of favoritism, there would surely be rumors in the court and he might even be impeached.
But if they were sentenced according to the law, most of these people would have to be beheaded and their property confiscated, and the rest would have their property confiscated and be exiled.
By then, the Liu family will no longer support me.
This abominable Lian Si actually shifted the blame to someone else and plotted against me.
"Why, Brother Nine, do you have something to say to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?" Li Shen asked loudly again.
"I..." Li Zhi was about to explode with anger. Seeing Li Chengqian's gaze, he saluted and said:
"I have nothing to say." He couldn't say that he didn't want to do this and didn't want to share the prince's worries, right?
He is not as shameless as Li Shen.
"Prince Jin, do you really want to try this case to relieve the country's worries?" Li Chengqian asked.
Princes like Li Shen have the right to participate in politics and have the right to express their opinions when decision-making is made.
But they rarely have real power, only the right to participate in politics.
For example, make some suggestions, whether to take a holiday, whether to work overtime, etc.
Of course, this also includes outsourced work.
When Li Zhi heard the prince's question, he didn't know how to answer for a moment. Now Li Shen and the prince were holding him here.
All the ministers looked at King Jin. Many of them knew the relationship between King Jin and the Liu family.
They also knew that Prince Ji had set a trap for Prince Jin.
For example, Prince Ji was obviously seeking revenge on the Liu family this time, but why did he give up the opportunity to take revenge by presiding over the trial?
It turned out that he wanted to get Prince Jin involved. Prince Ji's methods were indeed sinister.
“Your Highness, I think it is inappropriate for the Prince of Jin to judge this case. Your Highness has some connections with my Liu family.
In order to avoid suspicion, I think it is more appropriate for the three provinces to conduct the trial."
Liu Shi naturally saw through Li Shen's plan and stood up to stop it.
He already knew the consequences, so he couldn't let Prince Jin get involved. This was also helping Li Zhi.
"Why, are you suspecting that my ninth brother will bend the law for personal gain? Mr. Liu, don't forget that my ninth brother is a prince.
My only concern is for the Li Tang dynasty. How could I commit corruption for personal gain?
Wouldn't it be possible for people to stab you in the back, spurn you, make you a laughing stock, and leave you a bad reputation forever?"
Li Shen retorted with a righteous look on his face.
Every time he uttered a word, the flesh on Li Zhi's face twitched, as if a sharp blade piercing his heart.
This bastard is so cruel.
(You guessed wrong, I don’t have a stomachache today. I’m just taking precautions.
The pain will come back after two days.)
