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

Although Li Shimin was punishing in name only, he was actually protecting him.

But Li Shen, who loved money more than anything else, didn't appreciate it at all.

Because of the heavy snow in the north, he needed at least 50,000 strings of coal.

Including transportation costs, it would cost at least five thousand strings of cash.

What’s the difference between this and deducting one’s own salary?

"Okay, I'm a little tired. If there's nothing else, let's retire."

After saying this, Li Shimin stood up and walked to the back.

"Retreat from the court~~~~"

"Farewell to Your Majesty~~~"

All the civil and military officials in the court bowed to Li Shimin.

Li Shen finally breathed a sigh of relief, as he suffered a huge loss this time.

Li Shen felt a little angry when he thought of this, and he looked at Li Yifu.

Li Yifu also felt Li Shen's gaze and turned to look over.

When their eyes met, Li Yifu shuddered. Li Shen's eyes were filled with anger and hatred.

This made Li Yifu feel a little scared, and he hurriedly walked out of the Taiji Hall.

"Li Yushi."

As soon as he walked out of the Taiji Hall, Li Yifu heard someone calling him. He turned his head and bowed deeply.

"Meet Duke Zhao."

Changsun Wuji nodded with a smile on his face.

"How is Censor Li these days?"

"Thank you... Thank you Duke Zhao for your concern. I am doing fine."

Seeing Changsun Wuji's expression and tone of voice, Li Yifu replied fearfully.

Changsun Wuji walked down the steps slowly, and Li Yifu followed respectfully behind him.

"Duke Zhao, I wonder if I have any instructions for you. If you have any, please let me know.

I will do my best.”

"Haha, you are too polite, Li Yushi. You are now a favorite of His Royal Highness Prince Jin. I dare not give you any orders."

Changsun Wuji gave Li Yifu a forced smile, which frightened Li Yifu so much that he didn't know what to do.

If there weren't so many people here, he would have almost knelt down to Changsun Wuji.

He knew that Changsun Wuji was not a good person. He was cruel, vicious, and vengeful.

Compared with King Ji, he is even worse.

So when Li Yifu heard what Changsun Wuji said, he almost cried.

"Oh, Duke Zhao, look at what you said. I am not a favorite of His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin.

I am just a small censor serving the Prince of Jin.

I would also like to thank Duke Zhao for his cultivation of me. If I hadn’t been recommended by Duke Zhao to Ma Zhongshu and others, I would not have been able to succeed.

How could I have come to this day?

No matter when, I will always remember the kindness of Duke Zhao and will always be his disciple.

As long as Duke Zhao gives orders, I will obey them."

Li Yifu was also a smart man. He immediately understood the situation and expressed his position to Changsun Wuji.

Changsun Wuji smiled.

"Li Yushi, you are too kind. We are all working for His Majesty and we are loyal to His Majesty.

I just came to you to remind you that what you did today was a bit rash.

Prince Ji is not someone you, a censor, can shake."

"Duke Zhao, I am just..."

Before Li Yifu could finish his words, Changsun Wuji reached out to stop him.

Chang Sun Wuji knew that Li Yifu was somewhat unconvinced, so he continued:

"Li Yushi, do you know how many people who are stronger and more powerful than you have wanted to overthrow Prince Ji over the years?

But in the end, which one had a good ending?

They are all either dead or injured. The old Duke Shen, the former Minister Gao Ji Fu, and the old Duke Song, which one of them doesn't have more power than the master behind you?

Even the Duke of Wei back then couldn't do anything to Prince Ji, and I have suffered many losses.

What on earth are you defending? Are you really not afraid of death?"

Li Yifu turned pale with fright after hearing Changsun Wuji's last words. He was really shocked after hearing it.

So many important officials who had a grudge against Prince Ji were either dead or injured. He still remembered that Wang Wei, the Chief Censor of the Censorate, had taken

It was because of his life-and-death battle with Prince Ji that he was finally framed and the second-in-command of the Censorate was demoted and never employed again.

"Your humble servant... Your humble servant is just..."

Li Yifu really wants to say something?

“I know this may not be your intention. I am just reminding you not to get involved in the fight between the princes.

Prince Ji even dared to rush into Prince Jin's mansion and beat Prince Jin, and he was able to get away with all ten heinous crimes.

Even if he kills you outright, what do you think the consequences will be?

That’s all I have to say. I hope you take care of yourself.”

After saying this, Changsun Wuji turned around and left.

"Duke Zhao, please show me a way forward, Duke Zhao."

Li Yifu called out twice, but Changsun Wuji did not look back, but followed his colleagues back to the office.

Li Yifu just stared blankly at Changsun Wuji's back, constantly calculating in his mind.

"Li Yushi."

A voice startled Li Yifu awake. He turned around and saw Prince Ji standing on the steps, staring at him.

"Greetings to His Royal Highness Prince Ji. I wonder why His Royal Highness Prince Ji wants to call me here?"

Li Yifu bowed and asked calmly, but his momentum was obviously weaker than before.

"Haha, I really didn't expect that?

You still have the guts to impeach this king?"

Li Shen looked down at Li Yifu below with a sneer.

Li Yifu was a little scared by this smile, and he pretended to be calm and said:

"What do you mean, Your Highness? I am the Censor-in-Chief, and I have the duty to supervise all officials.

What's more, the one who impeached His Royal Highness Prince Ji was Censor Sun, and I was merely discussing the matter and performing my duties as a censor.

This is the right granted to me by His Majesty. Does Your Highness Prince Ji think there is anything wrong with it?"

Interesting, Li Shen said in his heart, this Li Yifu seemed to speak toughly, but in fact he sold out Censor Sun.

What he meant was that this matter had nothing to do with him and that it was Censor Sun who impeached him.

Li Shen was wondering how someone with such character could get to the top?

"Hmph, stop pretending to be righteous here, I know exactly what you are thinking.

If you confront me head-on, I will still look upon you with respect.

But now....”

Li Shen shook his head disdainfully.

"Your Highness Prince Ji, impeaching all officials is the duty of our Censorate. Could it be that Your Highness Prince Ji wants to take revenge afterwards?"

Li Yifu's voice was suddenly too loud, attracting the attention of many officials, especially the censors from the Censorate, who stopped to watch.

"Haha." Li Shen sneered twice and glanced coldly at the officials who were watching the fun.

He shouted sharply:

"Li Yifu, how dare you speak to me like this?

Why don't you go out and ask about my reputation in Chang'an City?

You have maliciously and unreasonably accused me, so what if I retaliate against you?

You tell me who gave you the courage!"

"Li Shen, you are so arrogant. This is Taiji Temple. How dare you show off your power here?

Don't you take Aye seriously?"
