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

Li Zhi was almost mad with anger. Just ten thousand strings of cash?

The prince's salary plus the land granted as a reward only amounted to about 100,000 strings of cash a year.

Li Shen actually asked for 100,000 strings of cash.

He has some dirty money, and you see how he gets so crazy that he doesn't even consider ten thousand strings of cash as money.

Shitou actually guessed this result when he came here, and he didn't want to stay here and get entangled.

Anyway, the things that the prince asked him to do were already done, so he bowed to Li Zhi and said:

"Your Highness, Prince Jin, I have conveyed Prince Ji's words. I wonder what Your Highness thinks?

This is also a win-win situation for both His Royal Highness Prince Jin and our Prince."

“Tell Li Shen that I know what he wants to do. I am not that stupid to use me as a shield.

If he wants to be grand and luxurious, that is his own business. I will not pay for it.

Go back and tell Li Shen that I advise him not to think he can do whatever he wants just because he is favored by Your Majesty.

Let him fend for himself.”

Li Zhi waved his hand with a look of disdain, and Shi Tou knew that this was an order to expel him.

The stone bows deeply;

"Don't worry, Your Highness Prince Jin, I will definitely pass on your message. I will take my leave now."

Li Zhi didn't say anything, and Shitou tactfully retreated.

"Asshole, this Li Shen clearly wants to defraud me, does he think I'm a fool?

You actually have the guts to ask me for 10,000 strings of cash! !

Does he think he is the only smart person in the world?"

After Shi Tou left, Li Zhi slammed the table heavily, stood up and said angrily.

"Your Majesty, please calm down."

Li Yifu handed Li Zhi a cup of tea, and Li Zhi sat down.

"Your Majesty, I feel that this matter is a little strange."

After Li Zhi sat down, Li Yifu frowned and said.

"Weird? What's so weird?"

Li Zhi was stunned and looked at Li Yifu.

Li Yifu pondered for a moment before saying:

"Your Majesty, although Prince Ji has many flaws such as being arrogant and overbearing, I have to admit that

Prince Ji is very smart and talented, otherwise he wouldn't have built such a huge family business in just ten years."

When Li Yifu said this, he secretly glanced at Li Zhi's expression. He was afraid that Li Zhi would be angry because of his praising Prince Ji.

"You go on."

Li Zhi calmed down and listened carefully.

"Your Highness, since Prince Ji is so talented, he must be a smart man. How could he know that you, Your Highness, would not be fooled?

Why did they send people to defraud you, Your Majesty?

I cannot agree with the statement that he treats everyone as fools.

I have heard that Prince Ji was very smart since he was young. If he was really so arrogant, he would have been schemed to death long ago.

It wouldn’t be like what’s happening now, with the five clans being defeated one after another.”

Li Yifu began to analyze Li Shen's character. Prince Ji must be treacherous and cunning, otherwise how could he have defeated so many aristocratic families.

Since he is so cunning and treacherous, he must not be the kind of arrogant person.

Then it was a bit strange that he sent someone to ask for money today.

After listening to Li Yifu's analysis, Li Zhi fell into deep thought, although he hated Li Shen and belittled Li Shen.

But he had to admit that Li Shen did have some talent, otherwise he would not have been so successful.

“What you said makes some sense, so why do you think he deliberately sent someone to ask me for money?

You came to ask for it knowing that I would not give it back to him."

Li Zhi thought about it for a while but couldn't figure it out, so he asked Li Yifu.

"I am completely baffled and have no idea what Prince Ji is up to.

But I am sure that Prince Ji must have some purpose."

Li Yifu shook his head.

"You're right. Li Shen really won't do anything without benefits. He must have some purpose in doing this.

Li Shen is very utilitarian and he will never do anything useless.

But I don’t know whether this matter is directed at me or at someone else.

We are being cautious.”

Li Zhi rubbed his brows. He felt a little headache. This damn Li Shen always picked on him for no reason.

"You go and arrange for people to keep an eye on the movements of Prince Ji's mansion. If there are any abnormal situations, report them to the prince immediately."

"Yes, Your Majesty. I will arrange it right away."

After receiving the order, Li Yifu also retreated.

Watching Li Yifu leave, Li Zhi also stood up and walked towards the back house, finally muttering:

"Li Shen, you'd better not mess with me, otherwise..."

Li Zhi showed a serious look of ferocity.

After coming out of Prince Jin's Mansion, Shitou quickly returned to Prince Ji's Mansion.

Arrived at the door of Prince Ji’s study.

"My Lord, my Lord, I am back."

Shitou called out twice, and then he heard a rustling sound inside.

"You...you wait outside. I...I am discussing something important."

Soon Li Shen's voice was heard from inside.

Shitou took a few steps back and came to the bottom of the stairs. He looked at the sun hanging in the west with a helpless look on his face.

No wonder there were no guards at the door. It turned out that the prince was plotting something important.

After waiting for a quarter of an hour, I heard Li Shen's angry shout from inside:

"Get in here, you ignorant fellow."

Shitou quickly pushed the door open and entered the study. As soon as he entered the inner room, he could clearly feel that something was wrong with the atmosphere in the room.

The temperature in the house is a little high.

Looking at Princess Ji and others in the room, they were sitting upright with flushed faces.

Li Shen was lying among a group of women wearing his long underwear.

Normal men in the Tang Dynasty all wore undershirts or half-sleeves.

The autumn clothes and trousers are designed by Li Shen himself, and are used as inner clothes to be worn in autumn and winter.

The battlefield has been cleaned up, but some clues can still be seen on the stones.

"What are you looking at, you bastard? Tell me what's going on in Prince Jin's mansion?"

Seeing Shi Tou in a daze, Li Shen scolded him and urged him on.

"Oh, meet the prince, princess."

Shitou was startled and bowed quickly.

"No gift."

Lu Dingniang said with a smile.

"Hurry up."

Li Shen urged impatiently.

"My Lord, I went to the Prince of Jin's mansion. Just as you expected, the Prince of Jin did not agree to pay.

She also asked me to tell the prince not to do anything wrong by relying on His Majesty's favor.

He also said that what the prince did was beyond the rules, and that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had never done this before."

Next, Shitou told Li Shen everything about his visit to Prince Jin.

"Using him as a shield? What do you mean?"

When Li Shen heard Li Zhi say that he was using him as a shield, he was a little confused.

"Your Majesty, I think the Prince of Jin has got it wrong.

He thought the prince wanted luxury, but was afraid of being blamed by His Majesty, so he conspired with him and then pushed the blame on him."

Wu Meiniang analyzed.

"Ah? He actually thought so. So that's how it is. Isn't this Old Nine too cunning?

Even I didn't think of this, but he actually predicted it."

Li Shen suddenly thought of a joke from his previous life, where a hundred-star king shed tears in a diamond game.

You can never predict what they are going to do next. In the current situation, I am the diamond and I don’t think that deeply.
