Traveling through time and space and becoming a deposed prince, he just wants to survive!

Zhao Sheng was busy as hell, and Li Xin was also very anxious.

No one knows who recalled Li Xin's adopted son who had been trained in the army and reported the news of construction work in the Princess Luancheng's Mansion to the imperial palace.

The emperor knew about the city being built in the princess' fiefdom. As for Li Xin's adopted sons, he didn't know much about them. He probably knew a few of them, and he also knew about one of them being adopted as a son-in-law by Li Xin and giving him the imperial surname.

Later, the border was peaceful, and there was no news from the Prince of Dingzhou. Last year, he sent his daughter to the capital to bring some gifts to the Empress, and also gave Zhao Hengzhen a precious sword. It was said that this sword was made of black iron and could cut iron like mud. Zhao Hengzhen naturally loved it after receiving it.

There has been no news of his daughter getting married in these years, and Li Shuya is already eighteen years old. In ancient times, this was considered a grown-up girl, and if she didn't get married, she would be ridiculed.

This time, I heard that Li Xin's adopted son, who also has the surname of the emperor, is so vigorously building the Princess' Mansion. It seems that there are signs that he is getting married.

So he ordered the Ministry of Rites to write an inquiry letter, which roughly asked when the Princess' Mansion would be completed, and by the way, he wanted to meet Li Shuya's son-in-law.

Speaking of this, Zhao Hengzhen still had a headache. Not only did his fifth son not seek to make progress, but he also begged him to marry a commoner's daughter as his concubine.

It turned out that after Zhao Heng became acquainted with Li Jun, he had dinner at his house and saw a fairy-like person flash before his eyes while drunk. He thought it was an illusion, but after asking people, he found out that Li Jun had a cousin who was very beautiful.

After that, he would ask Li Jun to review his lessons when he had nothing to do, and from time to time he would ask him to copy some poetry collections for him, and he would also pay Li Jun for it.

At first, Li Jun was unwilling to accept the money, but Zhao Heng finally accepted it reluctantly on the grounds that the money should not be lost to outsiders. However, the price was several times that of the copied books in the bookstore.

The reason Zhao Heng gave was simple, because the paper he used was gold-thread cotton sandalwood paper, so the price was naturally more expensive.

Finally one day, Zhao Heng met Li Shiyuan at Li Jun's house, and immediately expressed his feelings, willing to marry Li Shiyuan in a formal ceremony.

Li Jun's mother had also met Zhao Heng. Although she didn't know his family background, she believed that anyone who could make friends with Li Jun couldn't be a bad person. So she also advised Li Shiyuan to marry the right person if she met one.

It is not easy for the children of the imperial family to marry commoners, not to mention that Zhao Wei has sent his minions to keep an eye on the Li family. At first, Zhao Wei thought it was a coincidence, but when he learned that Zhao Heng was going to marry Li Shiyuan, he was filled with hatred.

Zhao Heng's mother was the same person as Zhao Wei. Zhao Heng first told this matter to his mother, but was rejected by Concubine Wei. She would definitely not let her son marry a commoner.

Zhao Heng had his own ideas about this matter. Now that he had been named King of Chu, he could go to his fiefdom and ask his father for permission first. If he did not get permission, he would return to his fiefdom and marry Li Shiyuan.

Just when Zhao Heng was feeling complacent about his plan, he received bad news. A group of gangsters broke into Li Jun's house. Fortunately, Li Jun's mother was unwell that day and he wanted to take her to see a doctor.

Unexpectedly, a masked gangster broke in. Although Li Jun was a scholar, he had also learned some martial arts and the six arts of a gentleman. Using a sword was also Li Jun's forte.

Unexpectedly, one person could not fight against four hands. Li's mother was eager to protect her son and was hacked to the ground by the gangsters. There were six people coming, two of them entered the room and pulled Li Shiyuan out, but Li Jun saw his mother fall to the ground at this time, shouted, and hacked down two gangsters in a row.

Some neighbors saw what happened and reported it to the police, while others stepped forward and took up weapons to fight the criminals.

The villagers were numerous and powerful, and they surrounded the criminals. At this time, the yamen runners also rushed over here, and the remaining four people had to let go of Li Shiyuan and escape over the wall.

"Sir, the people who were chopped down are still alive, but it's a pity that the old lady was chopped to death by the criminals." The neighbor checked the injuries of the people who fell to the ground and said to the officer.

"Does anyone recognize these masked villains?" one of the officers asked. This was happening in front of the emperor, and they were killing people in broad daylight. It was really a disgrace to them, the officers.

After stripping off the criminals' masks, no one recognized them. However, when the officers searched them, they found that all the silver on them was government silver.

As mentioned earlier, the silver of the Great Zhou Dynasty had not yet been fully circulated. In order to facilitate redemption, official silver was sometimes used for large-scale transactions, but this official silver could not be used by the public.

Later, for convenience, people began to make silver cakes of one, two and five taels, which could have text and the weight of the coins on them.

The edges of the gold leaves are serrated, and the edges of the silver cakes are extruded, which is also to prevent people from cutting on them.

Of course, such money can also be weighed. If the weight does not match the text on the money, it can be rejected or even reported to the police.

At that time, gold leaves were only available to officials of the third rank, but there was no restriction on silver cakes. After all, they were civilian currency and the government generally did not care about them. Most silver cakes were made by money shops.

The official silver used by people on earth, that is to say, this silver cannot be circulated on the market. It can be used between public and public or privately, but if it is used between private and public, you have to explain the source of this silver.

This also illustrates a problem. The person on the ground is very likely to be an official. The police are in a dilemma. Whether to arrest him or not, it is difficult to arrest him and then release him.

And we still don’t know who is behind these people. If someone finds out, they will probably be killed.

Several officers whispered to each other and finally decided to take the men back to the prison and lock them up with the death row prisoners. They were already seriously injured, and if they were tortured by the prison boss, they would definitely die.

There was no need to try this case, and everyone felt relieved about the dead man who could not speak.

Zhao Heng was reviewing his plan when he heard about the changes in Li Jun's family. After careful investigation, he found out that the person who came was actually targeting Li Shiyuan.

"Check if Li Shiyuan's family has any grudges against anyone over the years?" The servant kneeling on the ground listened to the words of the fifth prince Zhao Heng, responded, and left.

Zhao Heng was very careful in his work. His mansion was requested by his mother, and it was not with his second brother Zhao Wei. He also knew that there must be Zhao Wei's spies in it, so he started to train his own people very early.

He divided the mansion into three major areas: one for his own accommodation and daily life, another for receiving visitors, and the last one was a place to store miscellaneous items, where servants who made mistakes would be locked up.

Zhao Heng had never killed anyone. In his words, this would be a sin for him, and he needed to cultivate his character.

Soon, Zhao Heng learned that Li Tian had entered the capital to snatch Li Shiyuan and had been imprisoned by the second prince Zhao Wei and had not been released until now.

At the same time, he also figured out one thing, that is, the things that happened in Li Jun's family were most likely done by the Second Prince, and there must be people of the Second Prince around Li Jun.

So the people he sent out investigated again, and the result was just as he expected, there were secret sentries of the second prince outside.

In an instant, Zhao Heng understood everything. His brother couldn't stand to see anyone doing well. He would find a way to destroy anyone who wanted to surpass him.
