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

Li Shimin scoffed at Li Shen's sophistry.

"Yes, Aye is right, but..."

"No buts, you have committed the crime of deceiving the emperor. You have offended Gao Jifu.

The Gao family would not tolerate Xiao Liang. Although Gao Shilian was upright, many of his students became officials in the court.

The memorials they have submitted to impeach you have piled up like a mountain, and they are just trying to find evidence of your deceiving the emperor.

Why do you think I came to Qinghai Road?"

"Isn't it to punish me?" Li Shen interrupted.

"Asshole, do I need to come all the way here to punish you?

As long as I issue an imperial decree, do you dare to disobey it?"

Li Shimin's eyes widened.

"Yes, yes, if Father issues an imperial decree, I will have to return to Chang'an even if I have two legs."

Li Shen nodded repeatedly, but he was wondering in his heart how his father knew that he wanted to disobey the order?

"Could it be that Aye came here to avoid the ministers in the court?"

“Yes and no, this is just one of the reasons.

There are many things in the court that I cannot decide.

This time I came out for you, the rebellious son. The officials of the Gao family impeached the noble family and took advantage of the situation to rise up.

Once the situation arises and spreads to the public, even I will have to consider the consequences.

You will definitely be punished then.

So I chose to leave. They couldn't force the prince because I was still alive.

And this time I also took away a person in charge, so after a while, they will know the news.”

"The person in charge?"

Li Shen was stunned when he heard Li Shimin's words, and then asked speculatively:

"Are you talking about the Duke of Zhao, Zhangsun Wuji?"

"Humph, who else could it be? He is the prime minister and has many more disciples. Over the years, he has arranged for many of his disciples to serve as officials in the court.

He also recommended officials around the Crown Prince. Does he think that they don’t know since I’m not in charge?

This auxiliary engine is just too greedy for power."

Li Shimin snorted, and it was unclear whether he was directed at Li Shen or Changsun Wuji.

"Father, you have good intentions. I thank you for your grace." Li Shen was somewhat moved.

My own father actually ran away for me.

It is so hard to travel thousands of miles and sleep in the open air all the way.

"You don't have to thank me, just return my money to me."

"Aye, you have to follow the rules. Didn't you extort a lot of money from me before?

When did I ask you for it? "

When Li Shen heard that he was asked for money, he immediately came to his senses and shook his head.

“Bullshit rules, you never asked for it, but you’re always thinking about how to cheat it back.

Tell me yourself, how many times have you cheated me out of money?"

Li Shimin suddenly became angry again.

"That's just a few dollars, and Aye has extorted much more from me over the years.

Today, my father and I will settle the accounts of these years.

Let’s start from the very beginning, when Aye took 50% of the profits.

My sister’s princess…”

Li Shen also became anxious and stretched his neck to start settling accounts with his father.

Wang De, who was standing by, felt a headache. They were fine just now, but as soon as the topic of money came up, the father and son became like this.

He really is worthy of being His Majesty’s biological son, so much like him.

"Your Majesty, the Queen said that we can have our meal now."

An eunuch came over and reported the suicide.

"Okay, let's have dinner and go invite Wei Wang and King Jin."

Li Shimin stood up. Li Shen, who had just been talking eloquently, began to settle accounts with him one by one.

He was left speechless.

He was also puzzled. He heard that this bastard had a bad memory and often forgot things. How come he could still remember the accounts from ten years ago?

"Oh, go call my two wives over and have them accompany mother and the others."

Li Shen shouted to the eunuch he didn't know.

The eunuch was stunned, then looked at Li Shimin.

"Humph!"

Li Shimin snorted, turned around and left, leaving the little eunuch at a loss.

"Go."

Wang De waved at the young eunuch, who immediately understood and ran out.

"I tell you, my money must be returned to me."

"I don't have money, I'll pay you back when I have some."

"Impossible, I don't believe it. I want to go to your treasure house and take a look."

"Private treasury, no viewing allowed."

In the dining hall, Empress Changsun was waiting for Li Shimin, when she heard the voices of Li Shimin and Li Shen coming from far away and entering the dining hall.

Empress Changsun and Concubine Wei looked at each other, both feeling helpless.

This is how the father and son behave when they meet, and there's nothing you can do about it.

The son had forgotten the pain after his wound healed and kept irritating his father.

I just got beaten up and now I'm angry with Your Majesty again.

Looking at the father and son who walked in arguing, no one else said anything.

Your Majesty's favor towards Prince Ji is so extraordinary that others cannot even envy him.

Whether it is the prince or the princess, even the crown prince is no match for Prince Ji.

From childhood to adulthood, I have been beheaded one after another.

This time he actually deceived the emperor and colluded with others to defraud Your Majesty of more than four million strings of cash.

If it were someone else, they would have chopped it into pieces long ago.

But it was not a big deal for Prince Ji. Your Majesty had to come to Qinghai Road in person to give him a small punishment.

As soon as Li Shimin took his seat, Li Tai, Li Zhi, Su Xiaoxiao and Liu Ruyan arrived.

Su Xiaoxiao and Liu Ruyan went to the Queen's table to keep her company.

The other concubines didn't dare to say much.

Since you are here, it proves that His Majesty has agreed.

But according to etiquette, it is not allowed.

"Old Ten, why don't you sit down?"

On Li Shimin's side, everyone sat down except Li Shen who stood there.

After seeing this, Li Tai couldn't help but ask curiously.

"Oh, I eat more when I stand. I like standing."

Li Shen replied without blushing or beating his heart.

How could I tell others about the beating I got? It would be too embarrassing.

After hearing what Li Shen said, Li Tai and Li Zhi were both speechless. This was not a question of whether to stand or not, it was just a question of etiquette.

"Okay, let him just stand there."

Li Shimin suddenly spoke, and Li Tai and Li Zhi didn't say anything more.

Li Shimin stood up, picked up the wine glass and said a few polite words, then everyone raised their glasses and drank together.

Then the banquet officially began.

Li Shen continued to do his own thing, just standing there, holding chopsticks, drinking and eating, ignoring everyone.

However, Li Tai and Li Zhi had long been accustomed to it, as Li Shen had been like this since he was a child.

"Aye, the Tibetan army attacked Aye, I don't know if Aye was injured."

Li Tai found a topic to talk about.

"I was not seriously injured." Li Shimin replied.

"Aye, did we suffer heavy casualties?"

Li Zhi asked.

“There were some casualties, but not a large number, about 2,000.

The Right Guard and the Yulin Guard are elite troops. Although they did not charge, they were well-equipped and were able to resist the siege of 50,000 troops for more than two hours.

If they charge, how can their 50,000-strong army resist? "

Li Shimin said proudly.

If it weren't for the purpose of protecting him and his concubines, these ten thousand elite soldiers on the battlefield would not be afraid of the Tibetan army at all.

"Two thousand people is not a big number?" Li Shen, who was eating and drinking nearby, suddenly said this.
