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

Li Shen's life returned to peace. Two o'clock and one line these days. Imperial College, Daji Hall. During this period, several concubines who were friends with Concubine Wei came to visit. When they saw Li Shen's chairs and their use, they asked Li Shen to make several sets.

Besides, Li Shen just likes to lie down and sleep in the pavilion. May is the time of spring. In his previous life, Li Shen kept the store alone and had no time to travel for several years. Now that he has traveled through time, he must relax. Enjoy the view. It's a pity that he is still young now. Otherwise there will be another beauty next to her. That's a beautiful thing in life.

-------------------------------------

But at this time, the morning meal had a slightly different flavor. After discussing the political affairs, Li Shimin was ready to go to court. He immediately asked: "Do you have anything else to report?"

"I have something to report." Someone stood up as he spoke. The censor's surname is Cui.

"Come on," Li Shimin said

"The minister is impeaching King Shen Li Shen for not making progress. He is using strange techniques and abandoning the traditions of his ancestors." Cui Yushi's prelude report

"Who? Who is being impeached?" Li Shimin thought he heard wrongly. Asked again

"Your Majesty, I impeach King Shen Li Shen." Cui Yushi said solemnly.

"Your Majesty, I also want to impeach King Shen, Li Shen, to forget his ancestors." Another censor also stood up and said.

This is a big deal. Discussions began in the court. Don't know what happened.

"Isn't King Shen Li Shen 7 years old this year?"

"What is King Shen doing?"

"I don't know. I haven't heard of it."

"A Cui family member. A Wang family member. What did King Shen do?"

Li Shimin didn't believe his ears either. Li Shen is only 7 years old. Why don't you want to make progress, use uncanny skills, and abandon the traditions of your ancestors? I have used it in countless classics and forgotten my ancestors. Forgetting one’s ancestors means being unfilial. In ancient times, the word filial piety was very important. Li Shimin felt that it was a bit of a fuss.

"Oh. Cui Yushi, I wonder what King Shen did." Li Shimin was very curious about what Li Shen did.

"Back to Your Majesty. I heard that King Shen was studying miscellaneous studies in the palace. He also removed the tumblers in the Daji Hall and replaced them with tables and chairs. Isn't this a strange skill? Moreover, there are clear regulations on tumblers in the etiquette system. When King Shen abandoned the Tao, he abandoned the etiquette system and replaced it with things from the barbarians. Since ancient times, we have used Tao to kneel down. So the ministers said that they had forgotten their ancestors, and it was not only in Daji Hall. King Shen even made a few sets to give away. Your Majesty selects scholars in order to recruit talents from all over the world. Confucianism is orthodox. King Shen should specialize in it. Let His Majesty share his worries. You should not do such miraculous and obscene things. Please decree to abolish the eccentric and obscene things. Let King Shen concentrate on Xiang Xue." Cui Yushi said in a controversial performance.

Li Shimin frowned after hearing this. It's not because it's a big deal, on the contrary, it's just a trivial matter. Thinking about it. Li Shimin seemed to have figured it out. This was a warning given to Li Shen by the family to protect his reputation. It means that you, King Shen, can learn from it wholeheartedly. Don't look for trouble. Li Shimin was also very unhappy thinking about this. Because the family warned Li Shen, they still wanted him to do it.

"Cui Yushi. Are you making a big fuss? Li Shen is still a child. He is just a little playful. You said forgetting your ancestors is a bit serious." Li Shimin said expressionlessly

"Your Majesty, I think what Cui Yushi said is not exaggerated at all. The etiquette must not be abolished. The ancestors must not be forgotten. If it becomes popular at this time, wouldn't it run counter to the way of a saint?" said Wang Yushi.

"Your Majesty, why don't you invite His Royal Highness Shen to come over and ask clearly. After all, there is no basis for what you say." At this time, Fang Xuanling saw that Li Shimin was in a bit of a dilemma and said to help him out. In fact, Fang Xuanling also thinks this is a trivial matter. There is no need to bring it up. But when it comes to aristocratic families and princes, no one can say that.

"Okay, Wang De, go and send Li Shen over." Li Shimin told Wang De

"Yes, everyone." Wang De responded and went out to make arrangements.

At this moment, Li Shen was basking in the sun under the eaves of the Imperial College. It's recess time now. Li Shen likes to shine in the sun. In his words, he will grow up by eating the sun to replenish calcium. He couldn't let his good genes go to waste.

"His Royal Highness King Shen. His Royal Highness King Shen. His Majesty sends you to the Taiji Palace." A eunuch hurried over.

"What do you mean? Come to Tai Chi Hall with me?" Li Shen was confused.

"Yes, let's go quickly, don't keep His Majesty waiting too long." The eunuch said anxiously

"Oh, okay," Li Shen said and stood up. Then say something to your classmates who are passing by. Ask him to tell Jiao Yu that he is going to Tai Chi Hall and then follow the eunuch to Tai Chi Hall.

Along the way, Li Shen asked the eunuch who was leading the way what he wanted from him. The eunuch didn't know either. After a while, we arrived outside Tai Chi Hall. Wang De saw Li Shen coming and quickly led Li Shen inside. Li Shen from the Tai Chi Hall quickly saluted.

"His Majesty"

"Well, excuse me. Li Shen, I came to you today because Cui Yushi and Wang Yushi impeached you, saying that you have uncanny skills and have forgotten your ancestors. Do you have anything to say?" Li Shimin said nothing nonsense and faced Li Shen directly. explain

"What???" Li Shen was stunned. Didn't react. I thought to myself, am I being impeached? Asked quickly,

"I don't know why the two censors impeached me."

"Your Highness King Shen. May I ask if you made the tables and chairs?" At this time, Cui Yushi stood up. Ask directly:

"Yes. What's wrong?" Li Shen answered truthfully.

"Your Highness, there is a broken system in the etiquette system. If you replace it with tables and chairs, you are abandoning the ancestral system." Cui Yushi said again.

Li Shen was confused. It turned out to be because of this little thing. It's just a table and chairs, that's all. Ask the emperor to find him specifically to confirm. Still quite abandoning the ancestral system. Suddenly Li Shen thought of something and asked.

"May I ask, your surname?"

Everyone was stunned, some because Li Shen didn't know Cui Yushi. Some of them were because Li Shen answered questions incorrectly. But some people see something from it. For example, Li Shimin above. When Li Shen asked the other party's last name. Li Shimin knew that this kid was a bit smart. I must have guessed it was a noble family.

"Your Majesty Cui Renzhi." Cui Yushi replied.

"Oh. My surname is Cui. Xiao Wang would like to ask Cui Yushi. Whose ancestors are you referring to when you talk about the ancestral system? My imperial grandfather, the founding emperor of the Tang Dynasty, did not stipulate that Tao must be used. We just continued the previous dynasty. It's just a habit. But there are some bad habits that Datang will abandon one by one. This is called eradicating the old and establishing the new. It has the cultural characteristics of Datang. Taking history as a mirror can make our Li and Tang Dynasties last forever. Do you think so, Cui Yushi?" Li Shen asked rhetorically

This question left Cui Yushi speechless. Originally, this was not a violation of law or discipline. Just to give Li Shen a warning, he forced himself to make a big deal out of a trivial matter. But he didn't expect that Li Shen not only explained clearly. He also asked him a question.

Originally thought it was a 7 year old child. Even smart. Just be scared and that's it. Show it to Li Shimin.

There was no other way, Cui Yushi could only bite the bullet and said. "This has been the case since ancient times. How can it be changed just by saying it is changed?"

"What Cui Yushi has done since ancient times is not an ancestral system. If it is changed, it will be changed. It is out of character for you to be so entangled. If you have this energy, it is better to come up with more good strategies for your majesty. Cultivate more talents. "Li Shen doesn't want to mess around with him.

"Your Highness, King Shen. My duty as censor is to report the news and check the words and deeds of all officials. Isn't this to share the worries of His Majesty? And Your Highness, King Shen, you don't concentrate on your studies, and you do all kinds of strange and cunning things all day long. It really shouldn’t be." Cui Inzhi retorted.

"Oh. You're right. If that's the case, then I should also do something." Li Shen was also a little angry and felt worried. Since you want to use this little thing to warn me out of nothing. Then I don’t have to be polite to you. So he turned around and shouted outside the hall:

"Dongmei. Go get my key and get the papers on the top of the box." Li Shen took the key from his waist and threw it out of the hall.

Li Shimin and the ministers were puzzled. No idea who he was talking to. Li Shen stopped talking after throwing the key out. The hall was unusually quiet. Li Shimin didn't ask either. He wanted to see what Li Shen would do next.
