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

"His Royal Highness King Shen. Your Majesty has summoned you."

Li Shen followed the young eunuch to the Manlu Palace. At this time, Queen Changsun was also in the Manlu Palace. And Princess Li Mingda of Jinyang. Jin Wang Li Zhi.

"I've seen Aye, I've seen my mother, I've seen my ninth brother." Li Shen saluted one by one.

"Shen'er is here. Come and sit down. This is a fruit from the south. It's hard to find it at this time of year." Before Li Shimin could speak, Empress Changsun took the initiative to greet Li Shen.

"Thank you, mother." Li Shen said respectfully

"Sit down. I have something to tell you." Li Shimin said to Li Shen

"Yes, Aye" Li Shen knelt down and sat on the collapse. Are you ready to hear what Li Shimin has to say?

"I have inquired about your past. There is a female official, two maids, and a eunuch. Other than that, there is no one else around. I want to know where did the imperial examination system you gave me today come from?" Li Shimin asked. It means that there are no capable people around you. Where did you get this from?

Li Shen said directly without thinking: "Aye, I read this imperial examination from an ancient book. I don't know where it was put later. I thought about it for a long time last night before writing it down silently."

"Another ancient book? Li Shen. I heard that you like to read miscellaneous books. The imperial concubine even asked the Wei family to look for strange books to send to the palace. Reading more is a good thing. But you can't miss your studies." Li Shimin added.

"Yes, Aye. The child will not miss his studies." Li Shen replied immediately. You must know that the princes of the Tang Dynasty developed comprehensively from the age of seven, including classics, poetry, etiquette, military, music, painting, equestrian, archery, dance, literature, and history. But Li Shen felt that most of these skills were of little use, and many of them were learned just to show off one's status. Such as music and painting. dance. literature. There are also poems and books that cultivate sentiment. Li Shen wasn't even interested.

"Li Shen. I think you should also understand what happened in the court today. This is just a warning that the family wants to give you, but they didn't want you to unleash such a cruel move. In the future, they will find opportunities to cause trouble for you. You Be careful. But don’t be afraid. You are a prince, and you are not at the mercy of others. Just don’t get caught. You are still young. You have to be careful when doing things. You know?”

"Aye, I understand. I'm not afraid of them. I only go to the Imperial College every day. They have no chance to catch me. Secretly, they don't dare to do anything to me," Li Shen said calmly.

"Oh? How did you know that they don't dare to deal with you secretly? Although you are the prince, I can't deal with them without conclusive evidence." Li Shimin asked curiously

"Because of you," Li Shen replied

"Because of me." Li Shimin was puzzled.

"Because Aye has military power in his hands. Aye is playing with aristocratic families. They must abide by the rules. If they deal with me secretly and want to kill me, they have broken the rules of the game. No matter whether there is evidence or not. Aye Yedu will use the excuse of killing the prince to secretly retaliate against the family. Aye has military power in his hands. Military power is a knife. Even if the family has a dead servant, it is nothing more than a dagger. By then, at least Aye will have eliminated one or two families, and they I can't afford this price. Besides, my system is not enough for the family to kill me." Li Shen analyzed

"Haha, okay. Li Shen, you are really smart. I didn't expect you to see things so clearly at such a young age. You are right, the family and I are just playing. No one will break the rules first. If they break the rules first, I will kill two or three of their families." Li Shimin had a great change in his view of the tenth son.

"But it's better to be careful. You gave me a good idea today. What reward do you want?" Li Shimin asked

Li Shen fell silent after hearing this. Think about what you are missing. And for the first time, Li Shimin saw someone seriously considering what he wanted in front of him. I find Li Shen even more interesting.

After a while, Li Shen raised his head and said, "Ah, why don't you reward me with more money? Land will do, or barren mountains will do."

Li Shimin looked at Li Shen in surprise. "Are you going to start buying a family property so early?"

"Aye, you don't know. The reward last time was withheld by my aunt. She said that after saving it, she would build a palace for me. She also needed to save money to marry a wife and have children. She also wanted to build a house for her son. Marry a wife and have children. So. It costs a lot of money." Li Shen said pretending to be stupid and cute. Because Li Shen suddenly thought that even if he went to a fiefdom, he still had to have the capital to develop. Otherwise, it will take so many years and months to wait for the tax revenue from the fiefdom. He also asked the royal children about it. In a normally developing fiefdom, in addition to paying taxes to the court, the rest should also be paid to fiefdom officials and subordinates. There are also daily uses in the palace. Basically there is no money left. If there is a calamity year, money and food must be provided to help the people. After all, the people in the fiefdom were his. Li Shen decided to develop business in the fiefdom. This is what is written in novels. But doing business requires capital. He has no capital.

"Okay, stop pretending. Just give it to you. Tomorrow I will ask someone to send 500 yuan to Daji Hall." Li Shimin could tell at a glance that Li Shen was pretending.

"Just 500?" Li Shen blurted out. Then I regretted it. Cover your mouth quickly. Li Shen thought that this time it was a great achievement. The fifty thousand gold last time was actually copper coins. Fifty thousand copper coins is 50 yuan. Although ordinary people can't make more than 5 yuan a year. But giving 500 for such a big credit is a bit too little.

"What? Too little?" This is the first time someone thinks the reward is too little.

"No, no, if you're used to five hundred, just five hundred. Save it slowly," Li Shen hurriedly waved his hand.

"Hmph, you are so greedy for money at a young age. How can you serve me, Li Tang, when you grow up?" Li Shimin snorted and said.

Li Shen: "Aye, everyone has their own ambitions and pursuits."

"Oh, then I want to hear what your ambition is." Li Shimin said tirelessly.

"My ambition is to be a carefree and idle prince. I have endless money to spend. I am marrying several wives and concubines. I will have a lot of children. I will expand the branches and leaves of the Li family." Li Shen said seriously.

Li Shimin almost died of anger after hearing this. Queen Changsun next to her was very happy.

"Asshole. You don't want to make progress. You don't want to make progress. As a member of the royal family, haven't you ever thought about serving the country? Are you sharing my worries?" Li Shimin was furious.

But Li Shen asked solemnly: "Aye, if I'm not greedy for money, what else can I be greedy for? Aye, do you really want me to stay in the capital and serve the country?"

Li Shen asked seriously. Li Shimin was asked. Don't wait for Li Shimin to speak. Li Shenxing said to Li Shimin and Queen Changsun. : "Aye, mother. The child has to go to the Imperial College in the afternoon, so I'll take my leave now."

"Well, go ahead." Queen Changsun said gently.

Then Li Shen left the Manlu Palace and went to the Imperial College.

"Li Shen is such a good boy. He is well-educated and sensible. He is generous. Concubine Wei has a good way of raising her children." Empress Changsun said slowly.

Li Shimin calmed down and said, "More than that. Maid Guanyin, my tenth son is extremely smart and can assess the situation."

"Erlang. How can you see that? Didn't Shen'er say that the advice he offered was from ancient books." Empress Changsun was very confused.

"Huh, ancient book? The Imperial Medical Office still has no clue about the method of saving people in Nanhai Lake. He has asked me several times to ask Li Shen for advice. He also said that he read it in ancient books. Also, I went to Daji a few days ago Dinner in the palace. The tables and chairs in his palace are very useful. He also said that he saw it in ancient books. Nowadays, such good strategies are also said to be found in ancient books. Guanyin maidservant. If it is a good strategy in ancient books, why didn't the predecessors? People have used it." Li Shimin said

"Did someone tell Shen'er that?" Queen Changsun guessed.

"I asked Wang De to investigate. There are no experts around him. I guess. Some of them were combined with miscellaneous books and he came up with it himself. That's why I said this son is extremely smart. And you didn't hear him when he left. Can you just say a few words?" Li Shimin said and took a sip of tea.

"What happened to what you said?" Queen Changsun asked cooperatively.

"He said that if he is not greedy for money, what else can he be greedy for? It means that he is only greedy for money and does not want to be greedy for power. In other words, he does not compete for savings. The second sentence asked me if I really want him to stay in the capital and serve the country? This is what he told me. He He knew that I would not agree to his fight for the crown prince. He also said that I was telling lies. I didn’t want to keep him in Chang’an at all. This son is not simple. If he can assist Gao Ming in the future, Gao Ming will definitely be even more powerful." Empress Li Shimin’s eldest grandson Answer the doubts
