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

Li Shen suddenly felt that he was so naive. Why didn't he think of letting Li Zhi take the blame?

If I had thought about it earlier, I could have asked for less money.

But it seems too late to ask for less now.

"Okay, no matter what he thinks, it won't affect our plan anyway. We will implement our plan starting tomorrow.

You guys have to perform well~~~

Perform well, and I will give you a reward~~~~"

Li Shen looked at the group of women with a strange expression.

"Then what are you doing, my lord?"

Lu Dingniang asked unhappily.

"This king? This king is under house arrest now, so of course I have to stay under house arrest properly.

This prince will be responsible for feeding the child."

Li Shen said confidently that his house arrest would not end until after Yuanzheng.

There are very good reasons here.

"Okay, let's prepare dinner, and adjourn the meeting!"

Li Shen waved his hand.

~~~~~~~~~~

The next day, as soon as Li Shen got up, Wang Xuance came to him with a list.

Li Shen took a quick look and trembled with anger.

"I just want to know what the palace has prepared?"

There was everything on the list to taste, from cattle, sheep and other animals to incense and candles, all of which Li Shen had to buy.

"Well...I don't know what the palace has prepared."

When Wang Xuance saw the list, he was also speechless. This father and son really know how to have fun. They talked in the morning about how affectionate they were, and how loving the father was and the son was filial.

He tripped me as soon as he turned around.

"Do you think it is possible that the Ministry of Rites embezzled the money for my crown ceremony and then forged an imperial decree to let me buy it myself?"

Li Shen's mind was full of ideas, and he asked without giving up.

Wang Xuance looked at Li Shen as if he were a fool.

"Your Majesty, for a few hundred strings of cash, isn't the price too high to pay for a job that costs you your head?"

"Hmm.....what you said seems to make some sense."

Li Shen himself felt a little ashamed. What kind of fool would do such a thing for a few hundred strings of cash?

Putting aside the corruption, the charge of falsely conveying the imperial edict is enough to exterminate three clans. The price is indeed too high.

"That means that I have been cheated by His Majesty again. His Majesty is deliberately making me lose money, right?"

Although I don't want to admit it, it seems to be the fact that I have been tricked by my father again.

Originally, I thought that holding the coming-of-age ceremony in the palace would give me some advantages.

I didn't expect that not only did I not get any benefit, but I also lost something, and that Li Zhi took advantage of it.

"Well...from the current point of view, it seems to be the case."

Wang Xuance nodded ruthlessly to Li Shen, and Prince Ji was once again tricked by His Majesty.

But he didn’t understand why it was just a few hundred strings of cash?

Little did he know that Li Shimin didn't care about money and was enjoying it.

Seeing that Prince Ji's momentum was slowly rising from his silence and was about to explode, Wang Xuance spoke first:

"Your Highness, this morning, Sima Xue reported that the Arab merchants have already set out on their journey and have sent a team of guards to protect them.

I have already processed the official transfer order and customs clearance documents."

"Yeah." Li Shen hummed while gathering his energy. He wanted to explode.

"Your Majesty, there is one more thing. Shopkeeper Wang also left for Xizhou of Anxi Protectorate early this morning.

He also brought a squad of guards, riding fast horses, and planned to travel day and night, and it was estimated that they would arrive in less than ten days.

The transfer order and customs clearance documents have also been processed for them.

If Shopkeeper Wang handles it quickly, he might be able to catch up with the prince's coming-of-age ceremony."

Wang Xuance continued to interrupt Li Shen's outburst.

"Don't mention that bastard to me. He cost me millions of taels of gold. I must come up with a solution for this matter after he comes back.

Otherwise, leaders in other regions will soon follow suit.

How is this different from the warlords of the previous dynasty?

If time goes on for a long time, won’t my Ji Wang Mansion be destroyed? "

Li Shen got angry when this matter was mentioned. This problem must be solved as soon as possible. Due to the inconvenience of communication, the Prince Ji's Mansion could not always pay attention to local affairs.

It is very likely that these people, like Wang Wencheng, used the name of Ji Wangfu to do evil things in the local area, and in the end Li Shen himself would have to take the blame.

"Your Majesty is right. This matter must indeed be resolved as soon as possible. Shopkeeper Wang is familiar with the situation in various places.

It would be better to wait until he comes back to discuss it."

Although Wang Xuance is not in charge of business, the Ji Palace itself is closely related to him.

If Prince Ji's Mansion collapsed, wouldn't he also collapse?

He also hoped that his descendants would be able to bring honor to the family under the protection of the Prince Ji's Mansion.

"That's right, now we have to take care of the current affairs."

Li Shen nodded, then picked up the list in his hand, took a look at it, snorted, threw it to Wang Xuance, turned around and left.

"Where is the prince going?"

Wang Xuance followed with the list in his hand.

"Write a thank you note."

Li Shen said fiercely.

This is the rule. Your Majesty's order requires the writing of a memorial or a letter of thanks.

In the past, Wang Xuance wrote it directly, but today Li Shen plans to write it himself.

Arriving at the study, Li Shen opened the memorial and Wang Xuance stepped forward to grind ink.

Li Shen thought about it and wrote in his memorial:

Witch hazel

Persuading you not to hesitate the golden garments, and persuading you to take care of your youth.

The flowers can be folded straight and must be folded.

After writing it, Li Shen took out the official seal of Prince Ji's mansion and stamped it.

Then he folded it and handed it to Wang Xuance.

"Send it to the Secretariat and say it is this king's letter of thanks."

Wang Xuance hesitated after taking it. This is a good poem. If it is understood correctly, it will make people cherish time.

Do what you want to do when you want to do it, don't regret it later.

However, if Wang Xuance thought about the relationship between Your Majesty and Prince Ji, the meaning of this poem would change.

It always feels quite ironic.

"Your Highness, if this...is delivered to you, will Your Highness be punished again?"

Wang Xuance asked with some concern.

"It's okay, just send it over, I'm a good poet.

This king wrote a good poem, so I present it to Your Majesty as a thank you gift. There is nothing wrong with that.”

Li Shen shook his head and said confidently.

However, Wang Xuance was always unsure. In half a month, the King would have his coming-of-age ceremony, and he didn't want the ceremony to be delayed by being beaten over a poem.

Seeing Wang Xuance in a daze, Li Shen urged:

"Alright, send it over quickly. If the king says it's okay, then it's okay."

Alas! Wang Xuance sighed, bowed to Li Shen, and then left with the memorial.

Secretariat

Ma Zhou was reviewing memorials to the emperor when a clerk walked in.

"Your Excellency Secretary Ma, here is a memorial that was just sent over from Prince Ji's Mansion and needs to be presented to Your Majesty."

Ma Zhou finally went to the table and waved his hand.

"You go down."

The memorials that the Ji Wang Mansion could send to him were usually routine matters. He was used to brawls after so many years as the Minister of the Central Secretariat.

Prince Ji is favored by His Majesty, so when he has something to report, he can submit memorials directly to the palace without going through him.

"Report to His Majesty?"

Ma Zhou was a little curious. All the records were now given to the prince, so he took a look and saved them.

It's not a letter.

Ma Zhou opened it and took a look, then looked at it twice, and finally looked at it carefully several times, frowning.

After a while, he murmured, "Prince Ji is writing with his feet now?"

(I want to buy a car, and I'm wondering whether to buy a pure gasoline or a hybrid.

Which square box is better? It doesn’t have to be too expensive.)
