Time Travel: I am the idle king Li Shen and Li Shimin in the Tang Dynasty

Li Chengqian heard that several younger brothers were secretly competing with each other, but he was also helpless.

Li Shen had grudges against Li Tai and Li Zhi, and they had great grudges.

Li Tai competed with him for the throne, and Li Tai had the upper hand several times.

And he went astray. Without Li Shen's participation, Li Tai might have succeeded.

If it weren't for Li Shen himself, he would no longer be the prince, and he might have gone to the fief or died.

Therefore, it is no exaggeration to say that Li Tai is very similar to Li Shen.

Let’s talk about Li Zhi, who has an even greater enmity with Li Shen, crushing him like a destroyer.

Li Zhi's hope was crushed, thrown to the ground, and stepped on a few times.

At first he asked Li Shimin why Li Shen and Li Zhi had such a big hatred.

Li Shen actually led troops to attack the Jin Palace, regardless of the law and the royal family's face, and wanted to beat Li Zhi violently.

Li Chengqian didn't know the whole story, so he couldn't understand it.

How much hatred would it take to do this? He felt that Li Shen's approach was too extreme.

But when Li Shimin told him about the grievances between Li Shen and Li Zhi, Li Chengqian knew,

Li Shen and Li Zhi had been feuding for a long time. When he first conquered Goguryeo,

Li Zhi formed his own army and plundered Li Shen's caravan.

Not only did they plunder, but they also killed many people in Prince Ji's Mansion.

Generally speaking, Li Shen's northern plan was put on hold for several years.

Li Zhi secretly formed an army, and the reason is self-evident.

Li Chengqian also knew that Li Zhi also wanted the throne, but Li Chengqian didn't know about forming an army.

He also knew about the time when Li Zhi planned to murder Li Shen and used Chai Lingwu.

Qinghai Dao robbed and killed Li Shen's supply team in order to delay Li Shen's progress in building the Qinghai Dao fortress.

After killing nearly a thousand caravan escorts, Li Shen went berserk, led his troops into the Jin Palace, and beat Li Zhi.

Then he used himself as bait to lure out Li Zhi's men and catch them all in one fell swoop.

Using rags and raw silk as a tactic, Li Zhi lost all his property.

Li Shen rubbed Li Zhi's dignity and hope on the ground, and his dream was destroyed.

So the person who hates Li Shen the most is Li Zhi.

There was something wrong with the atmosphere of the scene. Li Tai was smiling, but his smile was not very natural.

Li Zhi's face was cold and expressionless.

Li Shen looked sarcastic, with a look of ridicule on his face.

"Okay, I asked you to come here to accompany me on the spring outing, not to cause trouble."

"That's what Aye said." Li Tai replied quickly.

"Aye, we are just discussing it." Li Shen also said with a smile.

"Your Majesty, the meal has been prepared." A maid reported.

"Okay, let's go, today is a practice for Lao Shi."

Li Shimin stood up and walked out with the queen and Concubine Wei.

The four brothers Li Shen also followed behind.

A table of game meat is filled with fragrance and aroma.

The concubines brought by Li Shimin also arrived and sat at another table.

Li Shimin raised his glass and said:

"Today is a farewell party for Prince Ji. Li Shen, you must not disappoint the court's expectations of you.

Mutual trading is a top priority and cannot be neglected. "

"Thank you very much, grandpa. I will do my best to bring more wealth to the court."

Li Shen stood up and bowed.

Several people drank it all in one gulp, and the banquet officially began.

Li Shen was also hungry. He didn't pretend at all and ate happily. He didn't say anything and just listened.

During this period, Li Chengqian mainly reported to Li Shimin what was going on in the court.

The drought there may be worse this year and tax exemptions are needed.

Where officials are impeached, how is it handled?

Li Shimin drank and listened to Li Chengqian's report, nodding frequently. Li Chengqian's handling method was quite satisfactory.

If it were him, he would usually handle it this way.

"Aye, there is one more thing. Yesterday, the censor at the censor station impeached the private counter shop and the flying money business.

As a result, many people were deceived and suffered miserably.

Therefore, it is recommended that the imperial court legislate and replace private counter shops, fly money, and borrow money.

The imperial court established cabinet shops everywhere and cooperated with powerful local families.

In this way, the problem of common people and merchants being deceived can be avoided. "

After Li Chengqian finished speaking, he looked at Li Shen who had been chewing bones with his head down.

Li Shimin also glanced at Li Shen.

It was discovered that Li Shen attacked a big bone violently as if he didn't hear it.

Li Shimin took a sip of wine and then asked:

"How did the other ministers react to this proposal?"

“Back in Aye, everyone in the court held their own opinions, but most of them agreed on the matter.

And the candidates from various places must be reviewed and approved by the three provinces and six ministries of the imperial court.

Only Fang Gong and Zhou Gong objected, saying that the imperial court could not interfere in the affairs of private merchants, as it would affect development. "

Li Chengqian replied.

It was obvious that this matter was directed at Li Shen.

They designated powerful families from various places to cooperate with the imperial court. In fact, everyone wanted to squeeze Li Shen out of the circle and kick him out.

There are aristocratic families everywhere, and even if there are none, there are also princes and nobles.

After review and approval by the three provinces and six ministries, the decision will be decided by voting, and the minority shall obey the majority.

The aristocratic clans and princes and nobles accounted for an absolute majority of the votes.

Even if Li Shen is favored, the rules have been set and Li Shimin cannot break them.

Most of the people in the court are represented by interest groups, so most people will definitely agree with this matter.

This is something everyone tacitly agrees on, and there is a tacit understanding without communication.

Li Shen is like a fish that makes a pot of soup smelly. Now they want to fish out Li Shen, the smelly fish.

Li Tai and Li Zhi looked at each other, with nothing but gloating and sneer in their eyes.

Li Shimin also fell into deep thought after hearing this. Although he was the emperor, he could not conquer most people.

There are too many things going on under the hood.

Looking at Li Shen who was still trying to chew the big bone across from him, he couldn't help but ask:

"Old Shi, do you have anything to say about what the prince said."

"Well, I don't have anything to say.

Someone, let me saw this bone open. "

Li Shen took the big bone and shouted to the guards outside.

Bone marrow is a good thing, and it is rich in nutrients and cannot be wasted.

"Li Shen!!"

Li Shimin glared at Li Shen.

"Uh~~ Aye, I really don't have anything to say, everything is up to Aye and Big Brother.

How can I express my opinion on court matters? "

Li Shen had a look on his face and tried his best to look pitiful and cute.

He didn't care about the affairs of the court, and his opinions had no effect.

If you say you don't agree, then you can disagree?

In the end, don’t we still have to discuss matters with the ministers in the court?

“Tenth Brother, this matter is obviously someone targeting your Prince Ji’s Mansion, don’t you have any ideas?

If the court agrees to this, your bank will be closed and will not be allowed to continue operating.

Are you willing to close the bank, tenth brother? "

Seeing Li Shen's indifferent look, Prince Li Chengqian became anxious.

He suppressed the matter because he wanted to discuss it with his father.

Because he knew that Li Shen must have his own purpose in establishing the bank.
