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

April is the time when spring flowers bloom. Outing has become popular in the Tang Dynasty. And Li Shen received a message from Wang De. Li Shimin is going to visit Jiucheng Palace.

Jiucheng Palace was built in the [-]th year of Emperor Wen's reign in Sui Dynasty and completed in March of the [-]th year of Emperor Wen's reign in Sui Dynasty. It was originally named "Renshou Palace" and was the palace of Emperor Wen. It was restored and expanded in the fifth year of Emperor Taizong's reign in the Tang Dynasty and was renamed "Jiucheng Palace". "Jiucheng" means "nine layers" or "nine layers", which means it is tall. Located in Linyou County, Fengxiang, Qizhou. It has the reputation of being surrounded by pearls and walls, with gold and jade shining on each other, shining on the clouds and covering up the sun and the moon.

Li Shen didn't understand why Li Shimin called him when he went out to play. But no matter what the reason is for you to go, you have to go. So prepare some equipment. A must-have for your medical kit. BBQ stove charcoal or something. Why don't you prepare something for a spring outing?

Only Queen Changsun and the fourth concubine were accompanied on this trip. Or the two little ones, Princess Jinyang and Princess Xincheng. Even Li Zhi didn't let him study in the palace. And Li Shen is also planning to bring a few servants. It is impossible to expect the people who serve the emperor to serve him. So his five followers, Wu Mei, Shitou, Lan Yuer, and Chunxiang Dongmei, all have to follow him. He also plans to bring a few guards. Although Li Shimin was accompanied by at least five thousand Yulin guards when he traveled. There is also the newly built Hundred Cavalry Guardian. But that was all to protect Li Shimin. Li Shen still needs help with some trivial matters. For example, slaughtering livestock. It's better to move things by yourself. So Shitou told Xue Rengui to bring ten guards to wait for him at the city gate tomorrow.

Li Shen's guards were all recruited from Zhuangzi, with a total of more than thirty people recruited. They are all guarding the boutique pavilion warehouse. It's all my own food. Not to mention safe and reliable. There are also a dozen or so retired veterans, although some have no hands. Some have no arms. But Xue Rengui said that these veterans have been on the battlefield and have seen blood and are rich in experience. The fighting power is much stronger than those strong men. In addition to training every day for more than a year, I still have enough food. Li Shen also spent a lot of money to equip each of them with a fine Tang Dao made of hundreds of steel. Lightweight and sharp for easy use by these people. And he made Xue Rengui a square-shaped painted halberd weighing a hundred kilograms. Historically, it was said that Xue Rengui was able to eat because he had been suffering from a long-term disease of no oil and water in his stomach. After eating meat for a few days. Xue Rengui is no different from ordinary people. Xue Rengui was good at bow and arrow, and Li Shen made a three-stone strong bow for Xue Rengui. The pulling force is one hundred and eight kilograms. The same draw weight as Yue Fei's bow. Li Shen watched Xue Rengui's Gong Shishi in the TV series and asked Xue Rengui. In the end, Xue Rengui didn't say anything, he just looked at him like he was a fool. It's six hundred kilograms. No one has the arm strength to pull away twelve hundred kilograms. Li Shen even felt that he was a fool.

On the second day, Li Shimin set off for Jiucheng Palace with a huge team. Li Shen met Xue Rengui at the city gate, and Li Shen asked Wang De to send a message to Li Shimin, asking if he could bring these guards. This is a rule. How could anyone join Li Shimin's team casually?

As for Li Shen's guards, Li Shimin had already found out that they were all his food. And many of them are veterans who have fought with him. So I agreed. It was just about ten people. The entire team consisted of several thousand people. And Li Shimin is not helpless. Just like that, Li Shen and his maidservant were riding in a carriage. The guards escorted the carriage to the left and right of Jiucheng Palace.

Along the way, Li Shen even held a barbecue party in the evening. Let the guard go out to hunt game and come back to roast it. Li Shen brought a lot of spice powder. Li Shimin and several female family members ate until their mouths were full of oil. Even the two little princesses ate happily. Li Shimin even bluntly said that Li Shen enjoys it the most. Concubine Wei was even more happy. Everyone said that Concubine Wei was very lucky.

After more than ten days of long journey, we finally arrived at Jiucheng Palace. Jiucheng Palace is more than [-] meters above sea level. Li Shen stood on it and looked at the lush greenery in the distance, feeling relaxed and happy. No wonder Li Shimin came here. It is true that the scenery is pleasant and makes people feel good. The imperial chefs who came this time were all chefs from Daji Palace. Not to mention craftsmanship. Li Shen has fun eating and having fun here. I went hunting with Xue Rengui when I had nothing to do. Mainly Xue Rengui hunted, and he directed from the side. Had a great time.

Li Shimin and the others played and sang every day. Empress Changsun handed the two little princesses to Li Shen. Li Shen was also willing to take these two little ones with him. Always make delicious food for them. Li Shen also made a paper kite. Take them to fly a kite.

Li Shen also told them a story about Nuwa patching up the sky and creating humans. Pangu opened the world. Three little pigs. The wolf is coming. Anyway, Li Shen was searching for his heart and told everything he remembered about the children of this era. In the end there was none. Li Shen began to compile it. Anyway, there are plenty of them in later generations. Zhang Guan and Li Daibei. It made the two little ones very happy.

Li Shimin was also very pleased to see this scene. A filial son and a virtuous grandson are happy and harmonious. When the two little ones went back in the evening, they would tell Li Shimin and the others a summary of the story Li Shen told them. Changsun Palace also praised Li Shen's talent to Li Shimin. She had never heard of these stories, so they must have been made up by Li Shen.

"I have talent but I haven't used it properly. I don't want to serve the imperial court." Li Shimin said

"Your Majesty, Shen'er is still young. He is only eleven years old now. Please wait for a few years. There is no need to be too impatient." Empress Changsun explained to Li Shen

"I know this. That's why I didn't force him. He always wanted to return to his fiefdom. I guess he was afraid of getting involved in court disputes. In the past two years, his imperial examination strategy has had some effect. Every year, some children from poor families are selected. Come up here. I know he still has good ideas. He just won't say them." Li Shimin sighed helplessly. He felt that Li Shen still had many good ideas. But Li Shen didn’t dare to say

Li Shen and Xue Rengui brought back another cow today. A cow accidentally fell to death. This is already the third unfortunate cow that Li Shen has brought back. Li Shen is preparing beef stew today. Beef test tonight. But as soon as I came back, I was discovered by Li Shimin.

"Li Shen, what's going on with this cow? This is already the third one." Li Shimin asked. Cows were protected by law in the Tang Dynasty. It is illegal to kill a cow privately.

"Aye. It's so unfortunate. He accidentally fell to death. For the sake of the people's losses, I bought it back at a high price. I asked him to go to the city to buy a cattle. Oh, it's so unfortunate." Li Shen shook his head. sigh

"Humph. What a misfortune? We have just arrived here a few days ago. Unfortunately, three cows have already died here. Do you mean that we are the gods of plague who have brought misfortune to the people?" Li Shimin was almost surprised to see Li Shen's excuse. Angry and happy.

"Uh...that...can't say that. If we hadn't come, they would have suffered losses. I gave them a lot of money to buy new cattle. To avoid losses. This is God's will." Li Shen did not Thinking of what Li Shimin said.

"Bastard, do you think I'm a fool? Do you know how to punish me for deceiving the emperor?" Li Shimin was extremely angry at Li Shen.

"That, that. He was accidentally shot to death while hunting. Aye, don't be angry, it will hurt your body. I will ask the kitchen to stew a pot of beef for you to replenish it." After Li Shen said that, he turned around and ran away.
