Zhenguan Xiaoxian Wang Li Shen Li Shimin

"Xuan Ce, do you think that I shouldn't build roads like this?

Do you think I am a fool to build roads with my own money?"

Li Shen raised his head and looked at Wang Xuance.

"I dare not." Wang Xuance quickly lowered his head.

"Don't dare? That's what you think!" Li Shen was not angry.

"I dare not. Since ancient times, building bridges and roads has been a good deed and a great merit.

It’s just that the prince is already doing it, so there’s no need to continue.

Even if you want to repair it, you have to wait until the current road is finished before continuing to repair it.

Your Highness's move is to bring down Prince Ji's Mansion."

Wang Xuance first flattered him, but in fact he really didn't understand why Li Shen wanted to build the road alone.

This should have been the court's business.

Li Shen saw what Wang Xuance was thinking and smiled slightly.

"Xuan Ce, in fact, I sometimes feel like a fool myself.

People all say that I am sinister, cunning and overbearing, but I cannot bear to see the sufferings of the world.

People all say that I love money like my life and I am a swindler, but I always want to do something for the world.

I have always said that if you want to get rich, you must first build roads, and this is not empty talk.

The convenience of roads can transform the local economy.

You can see that I have everything I want now: money, status, power.

Unfettered, free,

This king just wants to do something for the world within his power.

Just think about it, thousands and hundreds of years later, everyone in the world will know that this road was built by me, and that road was also built by me.

I do not want the history books to mention Li Shen with only a few words, Ji Wang Shen, the tenth son of the Heavenly Khan of the Tang Dynasty. "

There was a light in Li Shen's eyes. When people reach a certain level, the things they want will change.

Common people seek food and clothing, merchants seek wealth, scholars seek to become scholars, officials seek promotion.

Li Shen has reached the peak he wanted, and the next step would be to become the emperor, which is not what Li Shen wanted.

So what he is seeking now is different from others.

When you have more money than you can spend, you will want to do something for society.

This is what it means that with great power comes great responsibility.

Although Wang Xuance was very talented, his thoughts were constrained by his status.

He couldn't understand what Li Shen was thinking.

"Oh~~" Li Shen sighed.

His current thoughts are a combination of feudal and modern ideas, and sometimes he feels very contradictory.

But spending money does bring him happiness.

“Okay, you don’t understand what I’m thinking, but you’re right, I really can’t afford to repair it right now.

Nine thousand nine hundred miles, my god, it would be hard to sell me, even if you emptied your majesty's treasury...

Well.....

It’s not enough to cover the cost of construction.”

Li Shen lowered his voice and looked around. Then he continued:

"Then let's wait until this road is completed. I estimate it will take another two years. During these two years, we in the Ji Palace will have to tighten our belts again."

Li Shen was also helpless. He had money and it was fun to spend it, but sometimes it was not enough.

"Your Highness is right." Wang Xuance finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Okay, go ahead and write a letter to Wang Hongfu and tell him what I mean.

Also, ask him why he didn't send me any information.

What? After I left, Chang'an City became peaceful? Nothing happened at all?

This makes me feel that I am the scourge of Chang'an City."

Li Shen was somewhat unhappy. Since he arrived, Wang Hongfu had basically not conveyed any messages, except for the news that the emperor was coming.

There was nothing else, which made Li Shen wonder if his communication channel was broken.

Has Chang'an City become so dull since I left it?

"Yes, Your Majesty, I will do it now."

Wang Xuance was amused. Prince Ji was somewhat self-aware.

If there were no Prince Ji, Chang'an City would be much more peaceful.

The Chang'an City of Prince Youji is the abnormal Chang'an City.

After Wang Hongfu left, Li Shen looked at the sky and rocked on the recliner.

"Xiaoxiao, Ruyan, you said we have been pregnant for several months, why haven't you two gotten pregnant yet?

This will affect my five-year plan.

Why don't you let the doctor take a look?"

Li Shenju couldn't do this. He had only completed two of his five-year plans, and there were still many more to go.

If this is the case, it will be easy for one's five-year plan to fail to be completed.

“Your Majesty, the doctor has checked it and said there is no problem.

Before we concubines came, the princess had already instructed us about this matter, saying that we should have more children for the palace.

It's all my fault. I'm useless."

Su Xiaoxiao and Liu Ruyan looked a little unhappy when Li Shen said this.

There were seven ways for ancient people to leave their families, and not having children was one of them.

There are three types of unfilial behavior, and the worst is to have no offspring. No matter what the reason, they must give birth to a son or daughter for King Ji.

This is also for their own future considerations, even if the children they give birth to are not theirs.

But as a biological mother, she would also receive corresponding care, especially the concubine who gave birth to offspring for King Ji.

If Prince Ji is gone one day in the future, they will live with the concubine's son.

In this feudal society, giving birth to a child is a very important and significant thing for a woman.

So when Li Shen said this, the speaker was unintentional but the listener was intentional, and the two began to panic.

“Oh, since the doctor has examined it and said it’s not your problem, then it’s most likely my problem.

This has nothing to do with you and you don't need to panic.

I am not such a pedantic person. Even if you have no children, I will still treat you well.

Shitou, go and call the doctor."

Li Shen seemed very calm. Since the doctor said there was no problem, he decided to check himself.

But he felt that he shouldn't have any problem since he already had four children.

Soon Shitou brought the doctors over, and brought three doctors at once.

"I am honored to see His Royal Highness Prince Ji." The three of them saluted Li Shen who was sitting on the recliner.

"Well, no need to be polite."

"I wonder what's wrong with His Royal Highness Prince Ji?"

"No, I just want you to see if I have any disease. Why haven't the two ladies conceived for so long?"

Li Shen spoke very calmly, openly and without hiding anything.

The three of them looked at Li Shen with some respect. He was afraid to seek medical treatment because of his illness, which many people were embarrassed about.

I don’t know if Prince Ji is really generous or just thick-skinned enough to just say it directly.

"Yes, let me check the pulse of His Royal Highness Prince Ji first."

As he spoke, he took out a pulse pillow, tidied up the small table next to Li Shen, and asked Li Shen to put his hand on the table.

Another chair was brought to the doctor.

The doctor felt Li Shen's pulse for a long time, looked at Li Shen's tongue coating, asked some questions, and then stood up and said respectfully:

"Your Highness Prince Ji, the two ladies are not pregnant, it is very likely because of you, Your Highness."
