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

Li Shen always adheres to a saying: It is better to rely on yourself than on others, and only when you have it yourself can you truly have it.

Seeing how stingy his father is, Li Chengqian was probably also very frugal when holding his coming-of-age ceremony.

Now that I’m paying for it myself, I have to hold a grand ceremony to celebrate the coming of age.

This is the most important moment in my life, which means that I have truly grown up.

Everyone fell silent, knowing that nothing they said would work and that they would not be able to persuade King Ji at this moment.

Wu Meiniang wrote down all of Li Shen's requests, and Li Shen began to think of ideas again. His purpose was to lose face for Li Zhi.

No, to be precise, it was to save face for his father, Li Shimin.

At this time, Shitou, who had gone out to deliver the letter, also ran back to report.

This gives us another helper.

"My wife, you should arrange for the rich to do the work in the village. Every house must decorate with lanterns and lanterns, and every village should send some women to cook.

The ingredients were provided by the palace, and the banquet lasted for three days.

Let them be happy with me."

"Okay, my dear. I will tell Fugui about it."

Lu Dingniang nodded generously.

"Mei Niang, notify all the chefs in the restaurants to set up a buffet for three days on the street in front of Prince Ji's palace in Qinrenfang.

All the people in Chang'an City can come and eat.

Arrange someone to notify the farm to prepare the meat in advance."

"Three days of buffet! Your Majesty, it is said that Chang'an City now has a population of 600,000 to 700,000.

How much will this cost? Even if we don’t consider money, there won’t be enough ingredients.”

Wu Meiniang felt helpless holding the pen, as she felt that the job she had taken on was a bit too big.

She now doubted whether she could complete the tasks assigned by Prince Ji.

"It's okay, it won't take too much. Cooking takes time."

It’s not a pre-prepared dish, you can just heat it up in a microwave.

Wu Meiniang nodded and followed Prince Ji's arrangements.

Li Shen thought about it carefully again, wondering if there was anything he had forgotten.

There is still something grand that has not been done.

"By the way, Shitou, take this visiting card with you to the Prince of Jin's mansion.

When you see Prince Jin, tell him that the palace has asked him to prepare things for the coming-of-age ceremony. In order to prevent others from gossiping, I and his family will pay for half of it.

You can tell him a little bit about the activities, such as carpets, water splashing on the streets, five-sided lion dances, fireworks, etc.

Let him pay ten thousand strings of cash.

If he disagrees, tell him that I will do it myself without him. Don't blame me for not giving you a heads up when the time comes.

Go for it. "

Li Shen must do things in advance and then use force, so that when Li Shimin investigates the matter later, he will have an excuse.

I could have informed him in advance. There's nothing I can do if he's unwilling to pay. I can't just let him not pay and leave me penniless.

Shitou came to the desk, took out the visiting card and left.

Li Shen continued to discuss the specific details with the women.

~~~~~~~~~

The study room of Prince Jin's Mansion.

"Boom."

Li Zhi slammed the table heavily.

"This is ridiculous! Why do you want me to hold the coming-of-age ceremony with that bastard? Do you want me to be a foil?"

"Your Majesty, calm down. This may not be a bad thing."

Li Yifu advised.

Li Yifu was recommended by Liu Li and Ma Zhou to be appointed Censor-in-Chief and to serve as an attendant to Prince of Jin Li Zhi, that is, to be Li Zhi's follower.

But it also has the ability to monitor.

Now Li Yifu is one of Li Zhi's advisers.

"Good news? There is no good news. I have already found out that your majesty went to the Dongshan military camp with Li Shen early this morning.

When they came back, they decided to hold a coming-of-age ceremony for Li Shen.

After His Majesty returned to the palace, he told his mother about this matter. It was his mother who reminded him that the prince was the same age as Li Shen.

His Majesty has just issued an order for the two of us to hold the coming-of-age ceremony together.

If mother hadn't reminded me, Your Majesty would have forgotten about me.

I am the legitimate son, why should I perform the coming-of-age ceremony together with Li Shen, the illegitimate son? I am just relying on his help.

Li Shen is just a lowly bastard, why should he? Why? "

As soon as Li Zhi mentioned Li Shen, he felt his blood boiling and he couldn't control himself.

After roaring a few times, he sat down heavily, gasping for breath, picked up the teacup and drank it all in one gulp.

"Bang!!"

Then the teacup broke into pieces.

"Your Majesty has changed. Just because Li Shen has some dirty money and can bring him benefits, he favors that bastard.

Humph, don't you think about it, that bastard is very powerful now, after he dies, who will be able to suppress him? "

"Your Majesty, be careful with your words."

When Li Yifu heard Li Zhi's words, he quickly stopped him, then walked to the door and listened. Finally, he opened the door and told the servants waiting outside:

"King Jin has ordered everyone to retreat five feet away and wait."

The servants bowed and retreated to a distance.

Li Yifu closed the door again and came in front of Li Zhi.

"Your Majesty, please don't say such treasonous words again.

If this gets to your Majesty's ears, you will be punished.

Your Majesty is in good health now, Your Majesty, please don't talk nonsense."

Li Zhi's words just now scared Li Yifu so much that he broke out in a cold sweat. It is a capital crime to make irresponsible comments about the king, not to mention that you cursed him to death.

"Humph, I understand, but I am telling the truth. The court should not allow Li Shen to have such strength."

Li Zhi snorted, he also knew that he had just said something wrong.

"Your Majesty, Prince Ji is now unstoppable.

In addition to the blessing of His Majesty, Prince Ji also has outstanding abilities.

I am not trying to boost others' morale, but I am telling the truth.

I advised the prince not to be an enemy of Prince Ji. Although Prince Ji was closer to the crown prince,

But he did not side with the prince.

Prince Ji is still loyal to Your Majesty."

Li Yifu felt a little regretful. He had advised Prince Jin not to provoke Li Shen.

But Prince Jin would not listen, for he could see that Prince Jin was jealous of Prince Ji, his illegitimate son.

It’s a pity for those people outside.

If we had not offended King Ji, we would have had tens of thousands of people by now.

"So what? He is just a bastard son. Your Majesty has more than a dozen sons, and all the bastard sons who are still alive today have been given fiefdoms long ago.

He is the only one who remains in Chang'an City. Your Majesty has been thinking of sending me out of the vassal state this year, and has not considered Li Shen.

If it weren't for him, how could this king become what he is now."

The person Li Zhi hated the most was Li Shen, because Li Shen broke all his fantasies.

The Shandong gentry who had supported him at the beginning no longer supported him.

They were all scared by Li Shen's beating.

"Your Majesty, you must be calm and composed when encountering things. Being impulsive will lead to mistakes.

Your Majesty might as well learn from the King of Wei.

Although the King of Wei is still in Chang'an, he spends his days cultivating himself and improving his character,

Your Majesty, do you think that the King of Wei doesn't hate the King of Ji? He was the closest to that position. "

Li Yifu continued to persuade him. He didn't understand because Li Zhi was always calm and forbearing in everything.

However, when it comes to things related to Prince Ji, he immediately becomes impulsive and hard to control.

He even suspected that the two brothers were destined to be incompatible and could not get along.

At this moment, a voice came from outside the door:

"Your Highness, the chief steward of Prince Ji's palace, Li, has brought Prince Ji's visiting card and is outside the palace asking for an audience."
