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

"Aye, I've made so much money for you this time. Do you want to share it with me? You don't know that I haven't been able to eat well or sleep well these days. The doctor said I'm overworked and need to take some supplements." Li Shen covered his heart and coughed twice.

"Well, I know that this time it is all your credit. You have really worked hard for this. I always reward meritorious officials, and your contribution this time is so great.

Since the imperial doctors say you are overworked, you should stay at home for a month to recuperate and not go out. Wang De, take out a few ginseng stems from Goguryeo's tribute and send them to our Highness King Ji.

Let him make up for it, but we can't let our Prince Ji harm his health. "

"..." Li Shen's heart surged as he listened to Li Shimin's previous words, but when he heard the last two sentences, Li Shen was stunned. Who am I and where am I? What am I doing.

Li Shen turned his head mechanically and said to Wang De, "Old Wang, did Aye just say that he would ground me for a month? I didn't seem to hear clearly."

"Your Highness, this is what your Majesty said," Wang De said, holding back his laughter.

"Yeah, why? I made you more than 2000 million yuan." Li Shen asked crying.

"Hmph, do you know how dangerous this time is? If the family knows about it, how will they retaliate against you? And such an insidious plan to defraud other people's money will cause many families to die. If the world knows about it, Where is my royal dignity?

I’ll let you shut up for a month and reflect on your mistakes. In the future, you must be fair and aboveboard in everything you do, and you can’t always use conspiracy. do you know? "Li Shimin said with a serious expression. But in his heart he despised Li Shen and wanted to ask me for money, but there was no way.

Li Shen was stunned for a moment. It turned out that his father was so shameless. He would do anything and say anything for no money. He was the most important link here. He was the biggest person here. of beneficiaries.

"Aye, then you should return your brother's share of gold to me. That's my gold." The gold that Li Chengqian bought for the divine bead was paid by Li Shen. Seven thousand catties and one million pounds. He only remembered to deduct his own points, but forgot about the prince's points. Now I want to come back.

"That was borrowed by your elder brother. If you go to him and ask for it, what does it have to do with me?"

"I..." Li Shen was speechless, and Lao Li wanted to refuse the bill.

"No, my debt is repaid to my father. You must give it to me today." Li Shen's eyes turned red and he argued with reason.

"How dare you talk to me like that? Someone, please take me out and punish you with forty sticks."

"That Aye. I just got excited."

"Your brother's gold..."

"I do not want it"

"My concubine, I am a little hungry. I am happy to have a meal at your place today. Take out the Zhenguan wine that I have collected for five years. I will have a few drinks with our Highness Prince Ji. Hahahaha"

Li Shimin is really happy today. For the first time in so many years, he feels rich and wealthy.

He finally understood why Li Shen was so obsessed with money. He didn't panic when he had money.

Li Shimin drank too much, so he only told Wang De to send all the memorials to the East Palace, and was supported back to the palace by Concubine Wei.

Li Shen was also a little dizzy, but he still left the palace with Shi Shi's help and got on the carriage back to the palace.

King Ji made His Majesty angry again and was banned for a month. The reason was that this time the Divine Pearl caused heavy losses to Prince Ji's palace. His Majesty once said that if the money was handed over to the national treasury, it could help Datang do many things.

But he was deceived like this, so His Majesty became angry, scolded Li Shen and ordered him to be grounded. The news soon spread throughout Chang'an.

However, this news is still not exciting enough for the aftermath of the Shenzhu incident.

News spread among the people that the nobles, princes, generals and ministers of aristocratic families had suffered heavy losses. It turned out that the blessings from the divine beads were all fake and had been deceived by Tianzhu merchants.

Datang Daily also published an article about the divine bead scam. Once this news came out, it completely ended the family's illusions about turning around.

The article first tells the story of what happened, and then analyzes that the divine beads actually have no magical power, and that the cases of good fortune in disaster are all man-made.

The Tianzhu businessman was actually a fake Tianzhu person, and new discoveries were made about the whereabouts of the gold. Someone discovered that there were several boats parked on the edge of the Yellow River. Later, someone moved things on the boat at night, and then the boat disappeared.

This shows that the gold actually traveled by water. It is estimated that it has already gone to sea by this time and cannot be found at all.

The article also explains who are the victims of the Divine Pearl this time. The biggest victim is King Ji Li Shen. Because Li Shen had the most divine beads, I heard that in order to make gifts for Concubine Wei, King Ji purchased more than 4000 of them, all at a high price.

Followed by the aristocratic family and the two princes, the two princes lost nearly a million gold.

And there are more from Saga, because in order to stabilize the market in the later period, Saga acquired a batch more. Although the family has accumulated wealth for hundreds of years, this time it also caused them pain. The combined losses of several families were tens of millions of dollars, and the aristocratic family couldn't bear it.

The third class is the princes, nobles and some wealthy businessmen. For them, it means losing everything and putting all their savings into it. They are the most miserable group. At least the first two classes still have money, but they are really impoverished.

The article ends by reminding the people of the Tang Dynasty that greed is the reason for being deceived. Take this as a warning and don’t believe in things that you get for nothing.

The entire article is well-written and thought-provoking. It's just that when the family members saw it, they felt like they were laughing at them.

They vaguely felt that this matter was related to Li Shen, but there was no evidence. Moreover, Li Shen's performance seemed to be that he was really deceived.

Today in the DPRK, the assassination case of King Ji, which had been delayed for several months, was finally concluded.

Li Shimin was furious in the court and wanted to kill all the officials involved in the case. The family officials collectively stood up to plead for mercy, and several princes in the center also expressed their gratitude to Li Shimin.

In the end, Li Shimin could only execute a total of [-] officials who were the main participants, confiscate their property, and distribute the whole family to Lingnan.

More than 60 officials who were said to be involved were dismissed from office, and many of them suffered unreasonable disasters. The list of names reported by the Dali Temple of the Ministry of Punishment is evidence of this.

The family actually knew that they were exchanging these heads for their important figures. After all, those who discussed this matter were all important members of the clan. Otherwise, how could so many people be involved, but the family had no choice but to admit it.

The main culprit, Cui Dunli, fled in fear of crime in the Andong Protectorate. Li Shimin issued a nationwide search to arrest and bring him to justice as soon as possible. Cui Dunli's family property was confiscated, and his family members were sent to Lingnan together because of the minister's plea.

The accomplice Wei Yuanzheng was dismissed from office, his property was confiscated, he was driven out of Chang'an, and he was refused employment. Of course, Wang Wan saved Wei Yuanzheng. After all, Wang Wan's relationship with Queen Changsun was there.

As for the soldiers captured by Feng Shanwuhe, Li Shimin did not kill them, but sent them to the border to serve for ten years. This was also Li Shen's promise to Feng Shanwu to protect him from death.

But what puzzles outsiders the most is that Wei Wang Li Tai made Li Shimin angry that day for some reason. Li Shimin personally held a twenty-year stick and was punished for one year and grounded for three months.

I heard that Li Tai was beaten to pieces, and although his muscles and bones were not injured, the beating was severe.

Eighteen Beijing officials were killed and thousands of people were exiled to Lingnan. For the people of Chang'an, this duel was the most important event after Xuanwu Gate. There had never been such an official killed since the founding of the country, and all 18 of them were fourth- and fifth-grade officials. This was another big loss for the family, considering that Prime Minister Zhenguan was only of third-grade rank.

In this way, the sensational assassination case of King Ji was finally concluded. As for how to arrange these more than 60 official positions in the future, it has nothing to do with Li Shen.

Because Li Shen was losing his temper at the house at the moment.
