Li Shen's only thought now is how to get out of the palace. He has asked Wang Hongfu to buy fifty acres of land in Qinrenfang, next to Dongshi, to build the palace. He didn't want to live in the Tenth Prince's Mansion. It's not that Li Shen couldn't afford a big one, it's that Li Shen only had so many people out of the palace. It's useless if it's too big, it's a waste of guard power. It's too small, and Li Shen feels it's a loss of status. After all, he is also a prince. Company commander Sun Wuji, the Duke of the country, has more than 20 acres of land. How can he be less than the Duke of the country? Just wait until the population increases and continue to buy.

Historically, Li Zhi's palace occupied a square area. That is six to seven hundred acres of land. In the later Tang Dynasty, the palace of Prince Guo Ziyi occupied a quarter of the square, with a family of more than 3000 people. Li Shen estimates that many of the people he meets may not necessarily know each other. Guo Ziyi has a group of concubines. Li Shen currently lacks a princess, and Li Shimin has to decide on this. He has Wu Meiniang as his side concubine, and Chunxiang Dongmei must be his concubine. This is enough for four wives and five acres for the time being.

Wang Hongfu has already started demolition work. Hundreds of people were hired and hundreds of horse-drawn carriages were used to pull out the dismantled items. In Li Shen’s words. I am so rich, can I use old things? Anyway, Li Shen is not in a hurry. It’s not certain when I can leave the palace. Just finish it in a year or two. Moreover, Li Shen had to set up many places by himself. For example, the boiler room, such as the northeast heated kang. Another example is underground drainage. Li Shen planned to pay someone to connect his home's drainage channel to the moat through Yanxing Gate. But the biggest safety issue requires Li Shimin's consent.

Although Li Shen does not participate in politics, it does not mean that he does not care about government affairs. As a businessman, you must have a political sense. Therefore, he always pays attention to the news in the court, whether any important things happen, such as Gao Shilian's "Clan Chronicle" is compiled, Tubo invades Tang Songzhou, and establishes Xue Yantuo as the junior khan. Although these have nothing to do with Li Shen. But Li Shen will still pay attention to some.

Especially the Tubo attack on Songzhou. They were frightened away by General Niu Jinda who killed more than 1000 people. Then he sent a shameless person over to apologize and propose marriage.

What Li Shen disliked the most was Songtsen Gampo. When I was studying history in middle school, I learned about Princess Wencheng and Songtsen Gampo, and married the princess for peace. At that time, Li Shen thought that Songtsen Gampo was a good man. But wait until you grow up. Through the media network, he learned that Songtsen Gampo had married princesses from several countries before marrying a civil servant princess. Just to get the dowry and technology to strengthen Tubo.

In more than 200 years, it attacked the Tang Dynasty many times. It has a reputation of standing for the unification of later generations and being pro-Tubo. But now Li Shen does not have a good reputation in the Tang Dynasty. In the next 200 years, it caused many military and civilian casualties to Datang. Tubo was ambitious. Because India was short of resources, they took a fancy to Datang's Fuze and wanted to replace it. Li Shen decided to destroy Princess Wencheng's marriage in the future.

What Li Shen is most concerned about now is how to get out of the palace. Construction of his palace has begun in the past six months. In order to speed up the construction, Li Shen asked the Ministry of Industry to help with the construction. Architectural expert Yan Liben designed the palace. The exterior walls and landscaping are already under construction. It is expected to be completed by the end of the year. Li Shen plans to start burning bricks and cement to build the house next year. Strong and warm. And many of his visions required bricks and cement to complete. The money and food spent to build a royal palace is very huge. That is to say, Li Shen can build it now. Be another prince. Even the prince and the king of Wei were embarrassed.

Originally, according to the historical trajectory, Li Shen should have left the fiefdom at the age of eight. But because of Li Shen's change, although he didn't do anything substantial. But Li Shimin always wanted to observe this son. Moreover, Li Shimin always wanted to keep Li Shen for the prince's use. So now Li Shen doesn't want to participate in politics and Li Shimin is not in a hurry. Anyway, he himself is very young. And Li Shen is still young. You can also follow the prince when you grow up in the future. And Li Shen can make money. He was relieved to stay in the capital. Although Li Shen said he didn't want to fight. But Li Shimin was still worried, fearing that when Li Shen went to the fiefdom, the mountains would be high and the emperor would be far away, and Li Shen would have a lot of wealth in his hands. Maybe something will happen. There are many examples of this kind of thing throughout the ages. The prince held his own troops in his fiefdom. So he can keep an eye on him conveniently if he stays in Chang'an.

Today I have a rest and Li Shimin is swimming in the lake in Beihai. She was followed by a group of concubines. Including several new talent. One of them is Xu Hui, a talented person from Xu. According to history, Xu Cairen was very popular with Li Shimin after the death of Empress Changsun. A holiday estate was also built for him. But now Queen Changsun is not dead. Li Shimin's heart has always been with Queen Changsun. Although Li Shimin also went to Xu Cairen's residence to spend the night. But not to the extent of loving it yet.

Li Shen came to Changshou Pavilion in Beihai. He came to Li Shimin to talk about leaving the palace. This has been something he has talked about dozens of times in the past year. At least once a month. Li Shimin didn't even want to see him. But this time Li Shen planned to spend money to eliminate the disaster. Money can lead to the gods.

"I've met Aye, I've met mother." Li Shen saluted Li Shimin and Queen Changsun.

"Mr. Guanyin, believe it or not. This guy came to ask me about the palace." Li Shimin ignored Li Shen and turned to Queen Changsun.

"Haha. Now the whole harem knows that Shen'er wants to leave the palace," Queen Changsun said.

"Aye, I want to leave the palace because I want to earn some money so that I can support you when you get old."

"I'll use you to provide for my retirement. You might be able to sell me for money by then." Li Shimin said disdainfully.

"Aye, I heard that this Tai Chi Palace has been in disrepair for a long time. It is dark and damp. As a prince, I can't bear to see Aye living in such a place. So I am willing to spend [-] yuan to repair the Tai Chi Palace. I wonder how good Aye is?" Li Shen Save the country through curves

"Well, I see you are filial. Of course that's good. By the way, please repair the yard where you live," Li Shimin replied.

"What about the child leaving the palace..." Li Shen asked

"Didn't I ask you to build the Daji Palace as well?" You can build the Tai Chi Palace, but you can't leave the palace.

"Aye, I've already paid for it, why not? Then I'll pay the head office one hundred thousand yuan." Li Shen didn't give up.

"Why do you always want to leave the palace? Does this harem make you feel so bad?" Li Shimin wondered why Li Shen always wanted to leave the palace.

"Aye, I'm already old. It's not convenient to live in the harem. The other princes have already left the palace. Isn't this because I'm afraid of being gossiped about?" Li Shen explained.

"Everyone, what Shen'er said makes sense. Shen'er will be 11 years old soon. Living in the palace is really inconvenient. Shen'er, the new talent and beauty in the palace, doesn't even know her. It would be bad if she accidentally collided with him. It's over." Concubine Wei said.

"Yes, Shen'er will be able to choose a princess in a few years. It's also time to leave the palace. Don't violate taboos then," the queen also helped.

Except for the princess, all the women in the palace belong to the emperor. Children of this era mature prematurely. What if this is some kind of scandal? No more royal dignity.

"Well, what the queen and the concubine said makes sense. But... you won't be able to see the concubine often after you leave the palace. Have you thought clearly?" Li Shimin asked Li Shen

Li Shen was a little hesitant. After leaving the palace, I can't always see Concubine Wei. He is different from other princes. His concept of family still remains in the future. Concubine Wei was very moved when she saw Li Shen's entangled look. The royal family has no family ties, and many princes are not very close to their biological mothers. Li Shen is different.

"Shen'er, even if you want to stay with me, you only have a few years. You will leave the palace before you are 14 years old at the latest. Now it is only a few years early. You can also come to the palace to see me when you have time." Concubine Wei actually felt that in her heart Reluctant to give up. Everyone wants their children and grandchildren by their side. But in order for Li Shen to have a good future, he had to endure it.

"Aye, I've thought about it. I want to leave the palace, and I will often return to the palace to visit my mother and concubine. I also hope that Aye can allow my mother and concubine to leave the palace and stay in my palace for a few days occasionally. To ease our The feeling of longing for mother and son. I am willing to spend [-] yuan to restrain myself. It will be used as my aunt's expenses in the future. I hope that Aye can treat my mother and concubine well in the future. The child is very grateful and will try his best to serve the court. I will share Aye's worries. "Li Shen said with great emotion.

"Okay. When your palace is completed next year, I will allow you to leave the palace and open a palace. But I hope you can participate in the government after you are 14 years old. I will share the worries of your elder brother in the future." Li Shimin agreed loyally.
