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

"Wu Mei, has Lao Shi taken you as my concubine?" Li Shimin asked.

Li Shen looked at Li Shimin and wondered why Li Shimin asked about this matter. Usually it was the queen and Concubine Wei who cared about Li Shen's private life.

"Back to Your Majesty, this servant was taken into the royal family's concubine not long ago." Wu Meiniang answered truthfully.

"Well, tomorrow I will issue an order to make you the side wife. You are smart and smart, so you must assist Lao Shi. Princess Ji is still young, and you need to persuade Lao Shi to behave miserably sometimes."

Li Shimin has also noticed these times that although Lu Dingniang is a lady of the family, virtuous and virtuous, she is still young after all.

After all, Wu Mei is older and smarter.

Li Shen does some stupid things all day long, so it's better to have someone by his side to persuade him.

"Thank you, Your Majesty. I will take good care of the prince."

"Aye, why do you act so recklessly? I am the most law-abiding one. I may be the one who gives Aye the most peace of mind among so many princes." Li Shen said confidently,

Brother Li Chengqian glanced at Li Shen sideways, turned away, and ignored him.

"Forget it, you want me to worry less, because you and I will lose ten years of life. Did you shovel all the exotic flowers and plants in the garden a few days ago and grow your own vegetables?" Li Shimin said disdainfully, and then I almost have disgust written on my face.

"Growing vegetables at this time?" Li Chengqian asked.

"Old Shi, are you crazy? If you have money, you can grow vegetables in winter?" Li Tai also became suspicious.

Oops, there are still people who dare to question me. Li Shen got drunk immediately.

"Let me tell you, the hot pot is short of vegetables this time. We can have vegetables after you wait two months."

"Hmph, will we be able to grow our own vegetables in two months?" Li Zhi snorted.

"What do you know? You are growing vegetables, but I can eat vegetables. Once this year's experiment is successful, I will expand the scale of planting next winter. Then, Aye, I will give you food every day. And big brother, I will give it to you too,

I won’t give it to you two. I’ll see how you two come to beg me when the time comes. "

Li Shen also drank too much and said angry words like a child.

"Tsk~~~Who cares?"

"That's right, we won't go to the palace to get it if you don't give it to us."

While several people were bickering back and forth, Li Shimin fell asleep on the recliner.

Li Shen asked Wu Mei to bring a blanket to cover Li Shimin. It wasn't cold in the room anyway.

It didn't take long for everyone to get drunk. Li Tai and Li Zhi both lay on the couch and fell asleep. Li Shen and Li Chengqian were doing better.

The main reason is that Li Shen is a very good thief and even drinks adulterated fruit wine.

"Brother, they are all asleep. Come to my study to drink tea. Don't disturb Aye to rest." Li Shen said to Li Chengqian.

"it is good"

Then Li Shen took Li Chengqian and followed Wu Meiniang to Li Shen's study. The two brothers rocked a rocking chair while Wu Meiniang was responsible for pouring water for tea.

"Brother, do you think Duke Yi will win if he goes to the northwest?" Li Shen suddenly asked.

Li Chengqian's expression became serious, and he knew that Li Shen asked him to come to the study because he had something to say.

"Third brother, do you think Yi Guoguo will be defeated?" Li Chengqian asked.

"Brother Buman said, I really think Duke Yi may be defeated." Li Shen said after taking a sip of tea.

"What's the basis for the tenth brother?" Li Chengqian asked. He didn't believe Qin Qiong would lose.

Qin Qiong is not like Cheng Yaojin, Yuchi Jingde, etc. He has led troops and fought in battles. Moreover, Qin Qiong is familiar with military books. Not only is he superior in personal force, but he is also excellent in military affairs.

"My little brother is not saying that Duke Yi is not capable, but...there are bad people." Li Shen once again said that there are bad people.

"Do you think someone will inform Tubo?" Li Chengqian said in surprise.

This is a big deal, colluding with the barbarians is like rebellion, exterminating the nine tribes and punishing them.

"Brother, everything in this world is fake, only interests are real. Why are important ministers loyal to Aye?

Because Aye gave them benefits, money, status, fame, and the continuation of future generations.

Nowadays, as there are more and more paper books in the Tang Dynasty, colleges will be established this year. By then, the court will recruit more and more scholars.

Ten or twenty years from now, a large number of students will come forward, and even if one in ten thousand is selected, many people will be selected.

Others can't be high-ranking officials, so it's okay to be a petty official. It only takes one generation for the family's advantages to disappear.

If two or three generations later, it is unknown whether they will still be there. So the only chance to change this is to change the government. Why did the former Sui Dynasty fall? And who supported the rebellion? "

This kind of thing is too normal. Although Li Shen is not a historian, he has been exposed to many videos and other things in later generations.

History is written by men of letters. They can make you shine, or they can make you infamy. In Li Shen's only historical knowledge, loyalty, or loyalty to the country, had only been heard of military commanders.

The Song and Ming dynasties were particularly prominent. No matter who was in charge of the world, they all needed literati to manage the country. Therefore, as long as they maintained their status as literati, it didn't matter who was in charge. If that didn't work, just change them.

After listening to Li Shen's words, Li Chengqian fell into deep thought. With his current vision, Li Chengqian certainly understood that what Li Shen said was possible.

Li Shimin is not afraid because he holds military power. I don't care who rebels. If it doesn't work, just fight him once.

"Tenth brother, how do you deal with it? Why don't you tell Aye?" Li Chengqian said.

"Brother, do you think Aye can't guess it? It's just that Aye is overconfident. Aye thinks that the Tang Dynasty is now under his control." Li Shen said with a smile, Li Shimin was very conceited.

"Then what do you say?"

"Be prepared with both hands. To be honest, my brother and I have a royal guard that has been in the northwest for two months. The reason why Tubo cannot receive food is because I asked the royal guards to intercept the entire line."

"What? You sent the guards to the northwest?" Li Chengqian was surprised. The prince's private mobilization of the army was tantamount to rebellion.

"Brother, don't worry. Aye has known about this for a long time. The news that Tubo is going to invade the border was brought to the palace by my younger brother."

He is really a prince, and he is making such a fuss, how unbecoming it is.

Seeing that Li Chengqian calmed down, Li Shen continued;

"Brother, I guess the one who is going to attack must be Songtsen Gampo. It is impossible for other tribes to unite to attack our [-] soldiers.

After the elder brother returns, he can ask Aye for a secret order. If Songtsan Gampo sends troops, the number of troops will be at least one hundred thousand or more.

I don’t think Songtsen Gampo can command more than 15 troops. When the time comes, his country will be empty, and we will let Duke Yi retreat into the city in advance.

The cavalry was sent out to surprise their capital. My guards will also cooperate in attacking weak tribes.

Didn't he build a new capital city? We burned it for him. "

Li Shen expressed his thoughts. In fact, even if Duke Yi did not send troops, Li Shen planned to have his palace guards attack the Tubo capital, or burn, kill, and loot.

(Please name a loyal minister among the literati, a person who is loyal to the country. The kind who has national justice.)
