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

Wang Yushi next to him stood up and said. "His Royal Highness Prince Ji. You are a prince. As a member of the royal family, do you want to do business? Are you competing for profits with the people?"

"Haha," Li Shen laughed.

"Wang Yushi, can you tell me how I compete with the people for profit. And which people I compete with for profit. What do you, the people, represent?" Li Shen asked

"His Royal Highness Prince Ji is engaged in business and selling wine, making the wine shops in Chang'an City unprofitable. Isn't this competing with the people for profit?" Wang Yushi said neither humble nor overbearing

"Wang Yushi, the Cui family is the largest and most extensive wine shop in Chang'an City. Are the people you are talking about competing with the people for profit the Cui family?" Li Shen asked

"This... the Cui family is just one of them." He didn't expect Li Shen to say it so straightforwardly.

"By the way, Wang Yushi's family is also engaged in business. Isn't it competing with the people for profit?" Li Shen asked back

"My family is not in business. As a censor, how can I practice the way of a merchant? I am just like that merchant." Wang Censor denied

"Oh? Uncle, do you know how much space Wang Yushi's house occupies? How many servants are there?" Li Shen didn't understand Wang Yushi. So I asked Changsun Wuji. This business is not his own. In the past few months, more than 1 yuan have been sent to Zhao Guogong's mansion. I have about [-] guan every month, so I can’t take the money without contributing.

"Wang Yushi's family. As far as I know, the house covers an area of ​​five acres, and there should be fifty servants." Changsun Wuji replied with a smile. He is not afraid of Wang Yushi.

"Wang Yushi. You said you have such a big house and so many servants. How can your monthly salary be enough to cover the expenses? This does not include the expenses of your wives and concubines. Have you been embezzled and bribed?" Hatred? who won't

"Don't talk nonsense. My house was given to me by my family. The family is responsible for all the expenses there." Wang Yushi said anxiously. These officials are supported by their families.

"Oh, that's okay. I thought Wang Yushi was corrupt. If that's the case, forget it."

never mind? Whatever you go through. When I talk about you, I don’t mean about me. Wang Yushi is speechless.

"Prince Ji, we are talking about you, competing for profits with the people."

"I'm not competing with the people for profit." Li Shen denied

"You are doing business as a merchant and opening a boutique in Dongshi to sell drinks. This is not competing with the people for profit." Seeing that Li Shen refused to admit it, Wang Yushi said bluntly

"Wang Yushi. Don't talk nonsense. I didn't open the Boutique Pavilion." You can support the family. So can I. Li Shen thought

"It's ridiculous. As we all know, you and Princess Changle jointly opened that boutique pavilion. You bring the money into the palace every month. By March, there will be more than [-] yuan, and even Princess Changle will share more than [-] yuan. You You said you didn't drive it?" Seeing that Li Shen didn't admit it, Wang Yushi was furious.

"Wang Yushi, you may not know that the shopkeeper of this exquisite pavilion is named Wang Hongfu. He offended the Du family and was about to return to his hometown when I happened to meet him. I think he is pitiful. He still has a high hall at home and a child to be nursed below. I will keep this in mind. The Imperial Academy's teachings about offering wine to Confucius are benevolence and righteousness, so I went to the prince and asked him to make peace with Du He and relieve Wang Hongfu of his guilt. Wang Hongfu knew how to repay his kindness and was willing to repay me every month. At first I was determined. Yes, I am the son of the emperor and the prince of the Tang Dynasty. I do good deeds every day just to pray for me, Li Tang. How can I ask for reward? But Wang Hongfu is also benevolent and righteous, and he threatens me with death. Alas, I have no choice but to accept it. I gave him a little money to appease his mood. This can be regarded as saving his life. As for the dividend you mentioned, it is even more nonsense. My eldest sister and I are biological siblings, and we have had a deep relationship since childhood. Although my eldest sister lives in I live in Duke Zhao's house, but I still have to maintain the daily expenses of the princess house. The monthly salary is sometimes not enough, and life is tight. Even so, the eldest sister did not go back to the palace to tell Aye's mother about it for fear of worrying them. The eldest sister is benevolent and filial. I As the eldest sister, how can the eldest sister’s mother-in-law see her life be so difficult. So they send some money every month to improve the eldest sister’s living conditions. Isn’t it enough that I give my sister some money every month?” Li Shen’s words are reasonable. There is evidence and justice. Wang Yushi was speechless. He knew that Li Shen was making it up and had no evidence.

"Your Majesty, what King Ji said is true. I feel ashamed that my monthly salary has to maintain the operation of the entire Zhao Guogong Palace. I can't worry about Li Zhi. The family is so angry that my son spent money carelessly when he was young. He has spent a lot of Li Zhi's savings over the years. I am heartbroken. So. This month, I have grounded Chong'er. He is very disciplined at home. Fortunately, Prince Ji and Li Zhi have a deep relationship and send some money every month. I feel ashamed."

Changsun Wuji was so heartbroken that he burst into tears.

Li Shen saw Changsun Wuji acting like this, and thought that these old thieves had to be thick-skinned and good at acting. This acting skill shows true feelings. So shameless.

"Uncle, don't do this. Aye also knows your difficulties. Everything will pass." Li Shen also stepped forward to comfort Changsun Wuji.

Li Shimin was speechless watching the performance of his unrelated uncle. Wang Yushi was also dumbfounded. He did not expect that Changsun Wuji would end up. Changsun Wuji is not on the same level as him.

"Okay, since this is a misunderstanding, let's let it go. Is there anything else?" Li Shimin concluded.

"Aye, I have something to say. In fact, I believe that if the emperor's relatives can be self-reliant, even as merchants, this will reduce the great burden on the Tang Dynasty. If all the money given to the emperor's relatives every year is spent on Other political affairs can solve big problems. Although not every relative of the emperor can make money, is it better than others? And it can also bring tax revenue to the national treasury every year. It is better than letting the relatives of the emperor live a miserable life haha , Losing the face of the royal family. The lives of many royal relatives cannot compare with Wang Yushi."

.....Wang Yushi's mind is filled with dark thoughts. What does it have to do with me.

"We will discuss this matter later. If you have nothing to do, leave the court." After Li Shimin finished speaking, he left.

Everyone also walked out of the hall.

"Uncle, your statement just now is really remarkable. My nephew admires it."

"No matter where you are, King Ji is also upright and upright, neither humble nor arrogant."

Officials from aristocratic families such as King Cui Renzhi and the censor were livid when they saw this shameless pair complimenting each other.

Li Chengqian stood next to Li Shimin in the Manlu Palace. Li Shimin drank tea and looked at the memorial. Suddenly he said: "Gao Ming. You saw it today. What do you think of Lao Shi's handling?"

"My child has seen it. The tenth brother is indeed very clever."

"You have to study more. Don't be afraid of their impeachment. This is a good way to exercise your resilience. Look at what Li Shen said today. Everyone in the civil and military circles of the dynasty knew that he was making up nonsense. But the censor just had no choice. Sometimes impeachment in this court does not require any evidence. Just a reason is enough. As long as you find a good reason and hold on to justice, you will win. If they look for evidence of Li Shen, they will definitely find it. But Li Shen will also go Find their evidence. When the time comes, you will do business and I will do business. How can you say that I compete with the people for profit. This is the court. The truth that everyone knows but is unwilling to tell. Also, you must be good at pulling allies into trouble. You Look at the Imperial College today, and then look at the performance of your uncle, that old thief. You will have to study more in the future. How can you argue with the censor and the others? It doesn’t matter if you lose. Do you know?" Li Shimin taught Li Chengqian

Li Chengqian was most afraid of impeachment, but now his father wanted him to compete with the censor more. I feel uneasy and don't know if I can do it.
