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

The most troublesome thing for Li Shimin recently is the playboys in Chang'an. Making trouble and getting into fights everywhere. Jealousy in the painting boat. The imperial censor's daily impeachment memorials are higher than those of other people. Jing Zhaoyin's files are even more numerous. Chang'an was in a state of chaos. The people cannot live in peace. What's more, I heard that Cheng Chubi, the third son of Cheng Yaojin's family, and Yuchi Baoqi, the son of Yuchi Jingde's family, went to paint a boat and had no money, but they were approached by others demanding payment. They only had five guan of money in total. It's so ridiculous.

"Hey, these dandy boys really give me a headache. Although they didn't make any big mistakes, they kept making small mistakes. They made Chang'an uneasy. The people regarded them as a plague of locusts. Wang De, what do you think we should do to deal with them. Most of these people They are all unmarried and cannot be released as officials. It is really troublesome." Li Shimin rubbed his temples.

"Everyone, would you like to ask the various governments to strictly monitor the situation, or to suspend it for a period of time?" Wang De thought for a moment, it was really a difficult problem. Neither punishment nor control.

"It's useless. These dandies have been lacking discipline since they were young. The son of the old Cheng family will not be beaten any day. Otherwise, he is not afraid of anything. Li An, please tell me if you have any good ideas." Li Shimin was seriously ill and went to the doctor. asked Ang Lee.

"Your Majesty, I think we have to rely on these dudes to take care of them. It's just like when we go to the battlefield. If the enemy is cruel, you should be more cruel than the enemy. If the evil people are evil, you should be more evil than the evil people. So I think we should deal with these dudes. Someone who is more dandy than them should govern them." Li An replied

"More ruthless than the enemy, more evil than the villains. More dandy than them? Okay, you have a good idea. But where can I find someone who is more dandy than these bastards." Li Shimin felt that Li An was right. Makes sense.

"Everyone, do you think King Ji counts?" Wang De asked cautiously.

"You mean Li Shen? That's right. He used to spend 60 to [-] yuan to build the palace, and scolded the courtiers in public. That's him. Go and introduce him to the palace." Li Shimin was jealous when he thought of Li Shen's palace.

Li Shen is flying a kite with them at home. The autumn weather is crisp and the wind is strong. It's a good time to fly a kite. He was called into the palace reluctantly by Wang De. Li Shimin knew from the look on his face that he was unhappy for interrupting Li Shen's elegant mood.

"I've met Aye." Li Shen saluted expressionlessly.

"What's the matter? If I recruit you into the palace, will it disturb your Royal Highness Prince Ji's fun?" Li Shimin teased Li Shen.

"No, no, no, I'm studying."

"Okay. I don't know what you are like. There is something you need to do." Li Shimin interrupted Li Shen's random fabrication.

"Aye, you have something to give me."

So Li Shimin told Li Shen his recent troubles, "I'll leave this matter to you."

"Aye, are you asking the kid to kill them all?" Li Shen opened his mouth and said in surprise.

"Bastard, I'm going to kill you without looking for you. I want you to find a way to make them calm down." Li Shimin almost vomited blood in anger. What is Li Shen thinking in his head?

"Aye, this is not easy to handle. We are all in the same circle, and they ask me to do something like betraying my friends. I can't do it. Unless..." Li Shen paused deliberately.

"unless anything"

"Unless you have to pay more." Li Shen looked at Li Shimin seriously

"You bastard, you traitor. I asked you to do something, but you still dare to ask me for money. Come on, give me twenty sticks." Li Shimin roared.

"Hey, don't, don't, don't. Aye, I don't want money. There is a mountain over there in the east of the city. I want it."

"There is nothing on that mountain. Although it is closer to the east city gate where you live. What do you want him to do?" Li Shimin asked.

"Because it's big. There must be a lot of birds and beasts in this mountain. I'm going to use this mountain as a hunting ground. I'll go hunting if I have nothing to do." This mountain is really big. It should be several mountains next to each other. Although not particularly high. But the area is huge.

"You only know how to enjoy yourself. Li Shen, why can't you do something for the court? Share your worries for me?" Li Shimin was speechless.

"Isn't there a big brother? If not, I believe that the fourth brother would definitely be willing to share the worries for Aye. I am not the only one. A mountain is worth the peace of Chang'an, Aye."

"Okay, but I'll only give you a month."

"Deal" Li Shen clapped his hands and secretly said success. Such a big mountain can be used as a secret experimental base in the future.

Return to the palace. Li Shen began to plan. What better way to live comfortably than to let them make money? Even the boat paintings are on credit. These poor devils. It's really embarrassing to the dandy circle. Li Shen thought for a while and then took the guards out of the palace and came to Pingkangfang.

Pingkangfang is the largest red light district in Chang'an. Not only are there many brothels, but many dignitaries also live here. This may be the reason why there are so many brothels. This is also the place with the highest consumption in Chang'an. A purchase at a brothel here costs at least ten cents. The purpose of Li Shen coming here is to find the leaders of this gang of dandies. Cheng Yaojin’s sons were Cheng Chusi and Cheng Chuliang. Yuchi Jingde's son Yuchi Baoqi and Fang Xuanling's son Fang Yi are worth Fang Yi'ai. A few of them are often organizers and planners.

Li Shen searched several of the largest brothels but could not find this group of people. Li Shenxin asked whether it was too late. Finally, Yuchi Baoqi and Cheng Chuliang were found in a mid-range brothel. So he asked the guards to go upstairs and teach them to come down. I went to the restaurant opposite to wait.

"I have met His Highness Prince Ji." The two of them were also puzzled. This King Ji had very little contact with them. What to do with them?

"Brothers, there is no need to be polite. Sit down." Li Shen motioned for the two of them to sit down.

When the two sat down, Chunxiang next to them poured tea for them.

"Why do you two brothers come to a place like this?" Li Shen waited for the two of them to sit down and continued to ask.

"Hehe. I usually have nothing to do, so come here and play. I wonder what the prince wants to do with us." Cheng Chuliang said with a smile.

"I'm not asking what you're doing here. I'm asking how you came to such a low-class place. You two are also nobles after all. Although you have no real power, you still have official positions. Just now I saw that there are four major brothels in Pingkang . Then it matches the status of the two brothers. This low-end place is really not worthy of the status of the two brothers." Li Shen asked with an expression of ignorance.

The two were in embarrassment. The main reason is that the two of them are short of money, so they can't tell Li Shen that they don't have any money. Don't tell me. There's really no way to explain it. Could it be said that it is a personal hobby? Finally the straight-tempered Yuchi Baoqi spoke. "To be honest with you, the prince, we are really short of money. A banquet in the four major brothels costs 30 yuan. Listening to music also costs extra. There are many other expenses that add up, and an ordinary one costs ten I’m used to it. My father only gives me [-] yuan a month, which I really can’t afford.”

"I only get used to 25 a month." Cheng Chuliang also said that he has many brothers in his family. Cheng Yaojin was worried now. With so many sons, except for the eldest son who will inherit the title of Duke, the rest have to build houses and land to buy family property. It is impossible for the son of the Duke to build a civilian house. It has to be a house covering an area of ​​five acres. That would cost [-] to [-] yuan. You still have to buy land.

"It turns out that my brother lives such a miserable life. No wonder I can't see other brothers."

"Don't mention it, they are almost the same as us." Cheng Chuliang sighed.

"Hey, after you are all heroes, you are now living in such a miserable situation. It is really a tragedy for our Tang Dynasty." Li Shen sighed pretending to be sympathetic.

"Your Majesty, don't talk about us anymore. What does Your Majesty want to do with us today?" Cheng Chuliang sighed for a while and then asked Li Shen

"I'll be honest with you two brothers. It was a little trivial at first, but now I see that my brothers are living in such poverty. Those are no longer a problem. Now I have to find a way to make my brothers live a better life. It's not in vain for my uncles to follow me. Aye Fighting everywhere." Li Shen wouldn't talk about managing you group of problem children.
