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

Li Shen’s wish is very simple, which is to achieve victory with fewer deaths.

But in the middle, the Yang Shaowei incident happened.

He didn't know who else had been bribed, nor did he know who Yang Shaowei had bribed.

Yang Shaowei is a high-ranking official, the Chief of the Protectorate. Even he could be bribed. How could Li Shen not be worried?

All the generals and officers in the Protectorate were under his suspicion, and if possible he would really like to keep an eye on each of them.

But he didn't have that many people.

The most important thing is whether this is the decision of the Yang family or Yang Shaowei himself. Although Yang Shaowei is only a collateral branch,

But you also have to obey the arrangements of your family.

There are also generals from other aristocratic families in the army. This is also a question. Have they united? Will they rebel together?

Li Shen had too many uneasy factors to consider.

Not every official from aristocratic family would obey his family's arrangements and do things that were detrimental to the court. There were also many officials from aristocratic families who were loyal to Li Shimin and the Tang Dynasty.

Although they may have party disputes, they are loyal to His Majesty.

Li Shen just wanted to test how many people had rebelled. External troubles are not scary, internal troubles are.

"Your Majesty, it would be too easy to kill him like this. Let's leave it to His Majesty to decide."

Wang Xuance hugged Li Shen and gave him some advice.

Only after hearing this did Li Shen calm down.

"That's right, killing you would be too easy for you." Li Shen handed the knife to the guard, then squatted down and looked at Yang Shaowei who was covered in scars.

"Yang Shaowei, I will not let you have an easy life. I will make you, Yang, be buried with me.

Buried with the soldiers who died in my Protectorate."

After Li Shen finished speaking, he stood up and sat back down, and Yang Shaowei's eyes showed deep fear.

"Fourth brother, ninth brother, I lost my composure just now, please forgive me."

"My tenth brother is a man of temperament, and this is human nature." Li Tai shook his head.

"Fourth Brother, Ninth Brother, now that the war is stable, I estimate that Aye should be able to arrive here tomorrow.

Shouldn't we prepare well to welcome His Majesty?"

Li Shen got to the point.

"Of course." Li Zhi also nodded.

"Well, you two elder brothers are better than me at arranging ceremonies and etiquette, so let you two elder brothers handle this.

All officials of the Protectorate must do their best to cooperate. If you need anything, just send someone to tell Liu Su.

He will take care of all the shopping that is needed.”

Li Shen is not good at this kind of thing, so it is better to let these two brothers do it and make the best use of it.

"Okay, then we two will accept this matter. But Tenth Brother, what about the enemy troops outside the city?"

The two nodded and looked outside the city.

“Don’t worry about this. After seeing the might of our Tang Dynasty, they dare not advance rashly.

It is very likely that they will withdraw their troops. Otherwise, by the time Your Majesty arrives and we have the manpower, it will be too late for them to withdraw their troops."

Li Shen said nonchalantly that as long as the other party was not a fool, he would definitely not attack before finding a way to deal with their hot air balloon.

After thinking about it, the two felt that Li Shen was right, and then Li Shen sent someone to send them back to the inner city to handle business.

"Grand Protector, what should we do next?" At this time Li Zhiming walked over.

"Have the enemy troops in East City retreated?" Li Shen asked while drinking tea.

"They have retreated, but they are still stationed in the east." Li Zhiming nodded.

“They should be trying to support the troops that are going to attack Your Majesty, but I think they will be disappointed.

You must immediately send a team of troops out of the city to clean up the battlefield and bring back any surviving enemy soldiers for treatment.

I want to know who these people are. "

"Your Highness, are you saying that they are not Tibetan reinforcements?"

“No, they are reinforcements, but they are not necessarily Tibetans. Tibetans have limited military strength, so why would they send 200,000 troops here?

Isn't Songtsen Gampo afraid that other tribes will take the opportunity to attack his royal city?"

Li Shen has always been suspicious of this army that has not raised a flag. He feels that it will not be that simple.

Although Songtsen Gampo unified the regime, he was still unable to command all the tribes.

Each tribe has its own warriors.

They chose to surrender only because they were intimidated by Songtsen Gampo's military power.

For example, the Zhangzhung Kingdom was a very powerful tribe, and Songtsen Gampo had always been trying to win it over.

He even wanted to take his sister back and marry her to the leader of the Xiangxiong tribe, but the Tang Dynasty refused.

He would not send out all of his direct troops, otherwise a coup would likely occur.

Upon hearing this, Li Zhiming immediately took the order and passed the message, while Li Shen took his men back to the Protectorate to wait for news.

This sudden siege came and went quickly, and was over in just two days.

Li Tai and Li Zhi returned to Li Tai's residence to discuss how to receive His Majesty. After all, it was the emperor's tour, and all the necessary etiquette must be observed.

"Fourth brother, do you feel that this matter ended too quickly? It has only been two days since the siege began.

Now thinking about it, it seems like a dream." Li Zhi said with emotion while drinking tea.

"Yes, we were in a desperate situation one moment, and we were revived the next. Old Ten's methods are getting more and more sophisticated.

It seems that the tenth child has grown up." Li Tai was also filled with emotion.

"But Fourth Brother, did you notice that Li Shen didn't tell the whole story? He didn't mention Yang Shaowei's contact with the third room.

He also didn’t mention who the four people who rescued us were.”

Li Zhi looked at Li Tai and said.

"Haha, Chi Nu, everyone has their own secrets, and Lao Shi has the most secrets.

Yang Shaowei’s contact with the third compartment must be related to the four people who rescued us.

That’s why Old Ten didn’t mention it.

You should have also heard that Lao Shi has a mysterious team with only about a hundred people.

The main purpose is to secretly protect the Prince Ji's Mansion, but sometimes they also do some shameful things.

I only heard what happened from hearsay. Only His Majesty and the Crown Prince know the details of this team.

If I'm not mistaken, the four people who saved us are from this team."

Li Tai chuckled. He didn't know how long he had been studying Li Shen, and he had collected very detailed information about Li Shen.

“I do know that he has a team, and many people in the court know about it, but I didn’t expect these people to be so powerful.

He was able to sneak into the third compartment silently, and even Yang Shaowei didn't notice.

Why would Aye allow such a powerful team to exist, and even exist in the hands of outsiders?"

Li Zhi was very puzzled as to how such a dangerous knife could be left in someone else's hands.

Li Tai glanced at Li Zhi and said calmly:

“The reason is actually very simple, because I feel relieved.

If my guess is correct, there must be Aye's people in this team, and there are also Aye's people around Lao Shi.

If the Tenth Master has any intention of being disloyal, he can take Li Shen’s life at any time.”

(I got sick. I suddenly felt body aches, had a fever, felt dizzy, and had weakness in my limbs.

I feel like I'm cursed.)
