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

Only Li Chengqian knows Li Shen best here. From a young age, Li Shen has always done things either or not, and if he has to do it, he must finish it.

And no matter who stops him, he will do it.

When Li Shen opened a winery but the Cui family stopped him, Li Shen started working with the Cui family winery, the papermaking shop and the Chamber of Commerce, are all examples.

In fact, Li Chengqian also wanted to investigate Zhao Yuan and others strictly, but Li Ji was his left guard leader, and he was also a meritorious minister whom Li Shimin trusted, and he was also the general of this Eastern Expedition.

At this moment, Li Chengqian was in a dilemma. He agreed with Li Shen's words, but he couldn't let Li Ji have a grudge.

Because Goguryeo still needs Li Ji here, and he will also need Li Ji when he succeeds to the throne.

What Li Chengqian hates most now is Zhao Yuan and others. He really wants him to die.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince, I beg your Highness, I think Zhao Yuan and others are first offenders and should be given a lighter punishment." Li Ji implored again.

Zhao Yuan used to be his personal guard, and he promoted him single-handedly. Many of his personal guards died in the battle to protect him, so Li Ji wanted to keep Zhao Yuan no matter what.

And he also wanted to give Li Shen a show of strength.

"I would also like to ask His Majesty the Crown Prince to give Zhao Yuan and others a chance to redeem themselves." Qiu Xiaozhong also said to Li Chengqian, which was considered a favor to Li Ji.

"I also think that the overall situation should be given priority. This has always been the practice in battles. Maybe I haven't adapted to it for a while. It's better to give Zhao Yuan a chance to make meritorious service." Qibi Heli also said.

In the big tent, Li Daozong, Li Ji, Qiu Xiaozhong, and Qibi Heli interceded for Zhao Yuan and others, which made Li Chengqian's decision even more difficult.

Li Chengqian turned to look at Li Shen.

"Tenth brother, what do you think, let Zhao Yuan be punished and punished severely, or be punished severely after the war is over?"

Li Chengqian discussed with Li Shen that if his younger brother got into trouble, only he, Aye, could stop him.

"Brother has the final say." Li Shen smiled slightly, said nothing more, turned around and left the tent.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Li Ji was really afraid that King Ji would kill all these people. Then his prestige in the army would plummet. A general would not be able to protect his own men, which was hard to say.

Even Li Daozong was afraid that Li Shen would not be able to deal with the situation if he caused trouble, but no one expected that Li Shen would be so easy to talk to.

Only Li Chengqian felt a little uneasy. His younger brother shouldn't just let it go. This is not in line with Li Shen's character.

He knew this younger brother very well and had a character that would retaliate against evil, but now Li Chengqian had no good solution. Four generals in the army begged for mercy, one of whom was an elder of the clan.

Now it is no longer a matter of Zhao Yuan and others, this is a political game, a game between several people and Li Shen, and Li Shen lost.

We can only wait for a while to discuss the matter before going to have a good talk with Li Shen.

Li Shen returned to the camp at night and immediately told Xue Rengui;

"Rengui, please go down immediately. Everyone in the palace will sort out the supplies and withdraw to Wu Liluo early tomorrow morning. Since I, the governor, have no effect, it's okay not to wait."

"Yes" Xue Rengui didn't ask why. He always carried out Li Shen's orders.

Before dawn the next day, Li Shen's two thousand guards and their sharp blades pulled all of Li Shen's belongings, including the hot air balloon, out of the camp and headed towards Xiwu Liluo.

"Report~~~"

Li Chengqian had just gotten up and was washing when he heard someone calling from outside.

"Come in."

"Your Highness, Prince Ji, the camp is empty. I heard from the guards that King Ji's team set off to the west before dawn."

"What?" Li Chengqian threw away the handkerchief in his hand, rushed out of the commander's tent, and soon arrived at Li Shen's camp.

Because Li Shen's camp was guarded, it was far away from Li Chengqian's tent. This was just to avoid suspicion.

There was no one in the camp at this time, and all the tents had been tidied up.

"Why didn't you report it earlier?" Li Chengqian was a little angry that he didn't report such a big movement.

"Back to His Highness, Prince Ji told the guards to perform a secret mission when he left. The guards thought that His Highness knew about it, so they did not alert His Highness."

"Do you know where King Ji is going?" Li Chengqian asked again.

"The guard said he was heading west. Could he be returning to Chang'an?"

"Go back to Chang'an?" Li Chengqian pondered, and he knew that he had long known that this younger brother would never compromise so easily.

Only he and Li Daozong in the Eastern Expedition Army knew Li Shen's role. This was a strange move specially sent by Li Shimin.

A strange trick that can only be used when encountering difficulties.

Li Chengqian only had Li Shen in his heart because Li Shimin told Li Chengqian before leaving that Li Shen was the one he sent to escort Li Chengqian.

Because Li Chengqian had just arrived in the army, even though he was a prince and a marshal, he would inevitably be made things difficult by these veteran generals.

And Li Shen was there to protect Li Chengqian. This can be seen from the threats given to Li Chengqian by the four generals when they set off. At that time, Li Shen played a key role in resolving Li Chengqian's embarrassment.

Other generals who quickly got the news also came. They did not expect that Li Shen would leave, but for them, it was a good thing that there was one less governor in the army.

They can fight the same way as before, and they are invincible as before, but with one more governor, they are at a loss.

Li Ji secretly felt that this was his victory.

"Uncle Emperor, what should we do if our tenth brother is gone?" Li Chengqian was a little anxious. He always felt uneasy without Li Shen around, but his younger brother was very protective of him.

Moreover, Li Shen was there to help him argue with some of his orders, but now some orders may be rejected.

At this time, he could only ask Li Daozong, who was holding the line for him.

Li Daozong didn't expect it to be like this. This young prince must be too tough.

He left without saying a word. Li Shen was not here. Li Daozong knew that some plans needed to be changed, especially the prince's safety.

We can no longer let Li Chengqian be on the front line.

In the past, with Li Shen around, Li Daozong felt more at ease that Li Chengqian was commanding from the front. Of course he knew why Li Shimin allowed a prince to bring two thousand private soldiers to the battlefield.

He also knew how powerful Li Shen's escort battalion was. One thousand and five hundred guards were able to withstand four to five thousand Tibetan cavalry without any loss.

This is what Qin Huaidao told Qin Qiong personally after he returned.

But now Li Chengqian can only stay behind, otherwise if something unexpected happens, all of them will die, and even Li Shimin will be executed in anger.

"Alas~~ I made a miscalculation. I didn't expect Prince Ji to be so upright. He doesn't want to be with us.

I estimate that it won't be long before His Majesty's imperial edict comes down. It will depend on His Majesty's wishes at that time. "Li Daozong sighed.

"What does the deputy commander mean? Prince Ji will report to your majesty?" Li Ji's heart trembled after hearing this. Except for Li Shimin, none of the veterans had anything to fear.

Yuchi Jingde dared to hit Li Daozong, who was a member of the royal family, not to mention Cheng Yaojin. Everyone dared to make gestures, and of these people, only Li Shimin could restrain them.

"Young Master, your Majesty will know about this matter whether King Ji reports it to you or not," Li Daozong said to Li Ji,

The meaning is very obvious. How could there be no people from Li Shimin in the military camp? In other words, they are all people from Li Shimin.

When the prince goes on an expedition, his majesty will of course have to pay close attention to him at all times.

Hearing Li Daozong's words, Li Ji felt somewhat regretful. It would be better to give Zhao Yuan and the others some punishment yesterday.

If he does this, his status in Li Shimin's heart may be shaken a little. This is a crime of harboring. At worst, it means cultivating cronies and forming cliques for personal gain.

It's just that it's too late to regret now. He plans to punish Zhao Yuan and the others to make up for their mistakes.

"Your Highness, Prince Ji is probably preparing to return to Beijing now, so we have to make long-term plans next." Li Daozong said to Li Chengqian.

Li Chengqian also regretted that Li Shen defended himself so much that he actually forced his brother away. There were some problems with my attitude yesterday.

No wonder his father asked him to come here to train. It turns out that being an emperor is really a dilemma.

(I would like to criticize you. You did not do a good job of finding errors. You did not find out that the chapter numbers were all wrong. There were two chapters 416.

Focus on criticism here. Pay attention next time. )
