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

Shitou came to the Suzaku Gate and showed the token of Prince Ji's Palace. After inspection, he was led by a guard to the Liangyi Hall.

It was still early for the court to end, and the emperor usually worked in the Liangyi Hall.

The same thing happened after Li Chengqian became regent. As for the Ganlu Palace later on, he had never been there.

It was connected to the harem and was his father's territory, so even if he was the crown prince he had to avoid it.

Only now did Li Chengqian understand what Li Shen had said to him.

Being an emperor is the most difficult position, harder than being a minister.

Every day there were mountains of memorials waiting for his approval.

Li Chengqian was also a strong-willed person. No matter whether the matter was big or small, even if it was a small matter that had already been reviewed by the Secretariat, he would take it and have a look.

With a learning attitude.

It was the same today, but for some reason his father Li Shimin suddenly became interested today and came to Liangyi Hall to explain to him.

In the past, the chief officials of the three provinces took turns to accompany him.

Shi Tou was brought to Liang Yi Hall and saw Li An standing on the steps at a glance, and he immediately felt something was wrong.

With Li An here, His Majesty must be here too. It is better not to let His Majesty know that the prince is under house arrest and is leaving the palace.

Thinking of this, Shi Tou was about to turn around when he heard someone calling him.

"Manager Li, what are you going to do?"

Shitou paused and listened to the voice. The tone was a bit teasing, and he couldn't help but frown and look over.

I saw an eunuch standing on the steps, looking at the stone with a smile.

"Huh, who am I, it turns out it's you.

Wang Xing, do I need to report to you what I am doing? Don't you know who you are?

Have you forgotten what His Royal Highness Prince Ji said to you?"

Shi Tou recognized him immediately; this man was Wang De’s godson Wang Xing.

He has always been following Wang De and running errands.

Wang De is old, and there are many things that he doesn’t need to do in person, so he always asks Wang Xing to go.

Wang De also has a son, Wang Zhong, who now works for Crown Prince Li Chengqian and is deeply trusted by Li Chengqian.

As for why Wang Zhong was recommended instead of Wang Xing, there must be a reason.

Wang Xing is a smart person and works hard.

But he has a shortcoming, which is that he likes to show off and is a bit snobbish.

Holding on to Wang De's thigh, he always felt superior to others in the palace.

After being scolded by Li Shen once, Shi Tou became very well-behaved when he saw Li Shen, and he didn't have much contact with him.

Whenever Wang Xing mentioned Prince Ji, he felt a little timid. The last time he was too friendly with Prince Ji, he was scolded by him.

After he came back, he gave him a scolding and warned him to be more restrained.

Thinking of Prince Ji, Wang Xing immediately changed his expression:

"Haha, look at what Manager Li said, I was just joking with you.

His Majesty is discussing matters with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince inside, and Chief Steward Wang ordered me to wait outside. You came here and didn't want to go in but want to leave, so I asked out of curiosity.

If Manager Li has anything to say, I will go in and let you know."

Wang Xing had a smile on his face, but he was very dissatisfied in his heart.

You are just a steward in the Prince's Palace, and I am at least a fifth-rank official.

What gives you the right to speak to me like that? Aren’t you just relying on Prince Ji for support?

Without Prince Ji, you, Li Shitou, are nothing.

But even though he thought so in his heart, he didn't dare show it on his face.

He also knew that Li Shitou was deeply trusted by Prince Ji, and their relationship was just like that between His Majesty and Ganye.

If Li Shitou said something bad about himself to King Ji and King Ji got angry, he would do nothing to protect him.

When Shitou heard that His Majesty was here, he immediately thought of escaping. He didn't want to get entangled with Wang Xing and bowed to Wang Xing.

"I went to the wrong place, so I'll go ahead and not bother you any more."

Having said that, Shitou turned around and was about to leave.

"stop!"

The sound of scolding startled Shitou, and then he heard the voice continue:

"This is not a place where you can come and go as you please!"

Shitou quickly turned around and saw Wang De standing next to Wang Xing, looking at him.

It’s over. This was the first thought in Shi Tou’s mind.

When he heard the voice just now, he thought it was Butler Wang, and when he turned around, it was indeed him.

"This servant greets the chief steward, Wang."

Shitou bowed deeply.

In fact, there is no such position as general manager in the palace. The harem is divided into three provinces, managing twenty-four departments.

There were the Secretariat, the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and the Ministry of Palace Attendants. The highest official was the eunuch, or the chief eunuch.

They were responsible for the management of the harem and serving the emperor.

The reason why Wang De was called the general manager was because Wang De was Li Shimin's close attendant, who was in contact with the three provinces and conveyed Li Shimin's orders.

Any events in the three provinces would be reported to Wang De first, who would then convey the information to Li Shimin.

That’s why he is called the general manager.

Wang De looked at Li Shitou,

"Is there something wrong with your master?"

This is asking even though you already know the answer. Why would you come here if you don't have anything to do?

Shitou shook his head quickly:

"No, no, I went to the wrong place. I want to go to the harem."

He can't say he's here to ask for leave.

"Haha, Little Stone, do you think I'm getting old and a little confused?"

Wang De was so angry at the stone that he laughed. It was true that like master, like servant.

He just keeps telling lies.

"I dare not. Steward Wang is still in his prime. How can he be considered old? Even if he is old, he is still strong and healthy."

Shi Tou quickly apologized with a smile.

"Okay, you slick talker, let's go. His Majesty heard you and summoned you in."

Wang De waved his hands helplessly. Even his smooth-talking appearance was exactly the same as Prince Ji.

"Ah? Your Majesty knows I'm here?"

Shitou opened his mouth wide in surprise. How could he hear it from so far away?

There was no choice but to go up the stairs and follow Wang De into the Liangyi Hall.

At this moment in the Liangyi Hall, Li Shimin was sitting in front of the desk, and Li Chengqian was sitting on the left side of Li Shimin.

Li Chengqian was holding a memorial in his hand, and Li Shimin seemed to be saying something.

"Your Majesty, your Highness, your Highness the Crown Prince."

Standing at the door, Shitou bowed deeply and spoke loudly.

"Come forward."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Shitou saluted again, bent his body and took a few steps forward.

"Tell me, what does your master want you to come here for?"

Li Shimin picked up the tea and took a sip.

"this....."

You cannot say you have taken the wrong path when following His Majesty. The crime of deceiving the emperor is punishable by death.

Shitou racked his brains for how to answer. Did he come to ask for leave?

Then shouldn’t their prince be punished?

"Stop hesitating, tell me quickly, has your master gotten into trouble again?"

Seeing Shitou hesitate, Li Shimin became angry.

"No, no, that... Your Majesty, Prince Ji asked me to deliver a memorial to the Crown Prince, saying that he has something to report."

Shi Tou had no choice but to pin his hopes on His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. As long as he gave it to the Crown Prince, he would understand what was going on after taking a look at it.

"Send it up."

Shitou underestimated Li Shimin's curiosity about Li Shen. As soon as Li Shimin heard the memorial submitted by Li Shen, he became curious.

"Yes."

There was no other choice, so Shitou submitted the memorial.

Li Shimin opened it and took a few glances before becoming furious.

He slapped the table with a "bang".

"Asshole, could this rebellious son be able to predict the future and predict that he will have a stomachache tomorrow?"
