Just when Li Yifu was about to be overwhelmed by Li Shen's momentum, a discordant voice came from behind Li Shen.

When Li Yifu heard this voice, the depression in his heart was immediately relieved by a lot.

Everyone looked at the person who was speaking.

Li Shen didn't even need to turn around to tell who was speaking.

His good ninth brother, Prince of Jin Li Zhi.

Li Shen put on a smiling face, turned around, and saw Li Zhi and Li Tai standing behind him.

Damn, why haven’t these two left yet?

"Hey, Brother Four and Brother Nine haven't left yet? What's going on? Is someone treating us?

If someone wants to treat you, don't forget me.

I am so poor now that I am almost begging for food at the gate of the Imperial City."

"Hahahaha, Old Ten, don't cry poor to me, your fourth brother. I don't have any money to lend you.

Besides, is there anyone in this world richer than you, King Ji?

I'm afraid even Aye is not as rich as you.

If you say we are poor, then aren’t we beggars?”

Li Tai laughed loudly and quickly came to Li Shen's side. His attitude was extremely enthusiastic, as if he was closer than a real brother.

"Fourth brother, what are you talking about? All land under heaven belongs to the king, and all the people in the world are the king's subjects.

All the wealth in the world belongs to Aye. No one in the world is richer than Aye."

Li Shen also said with a smile.

But he cursed in his heart, this bastard actually wanted to trick him.

No one in this world is allowed to be richer than the emperor.

This is the iron law of history.

Seeing that Li Shen ignored him, Li Zhi also walked forward and looked at Li Shen coldly.

"Li Shen, you are becoming more and more outrageous now."

"What does Brother Nine mean by this?"

Li Shen's face was full of confusion.

"What do you mean? What were you doing just now?

As a prince, how dare you threaten ministers?

This is the Taiji Hall, not a place where you can act wildly. Please be aware of your status."

Li Zhi said angrily. He was extremely dissatisfied with Li Shen's attitude.

"Brother Jiu, he falsely accused me, can't I say a few words to him?

He was just a small censor, yet he dared to falsely accuse the prince. I did not pursue his crime of false accusation.

It is my grace to him.”

Li Shen showed no sign of weakness and spoke to Li Shen in a sarcastic tone.

"Alright, alright, what are you two doing? There are so many people watching here.

Don’t let others laugh at you.”

Li Tai acted as a peacemaker.

"Haha, Fourth Brother, you are joking. There is no joke at all. I was just discussing something with Ninth Brother."

Li Shen chuckled.

Li Tai smiled and said:

"Old Ten, it's no wonder that Chi Nu scolded you. This is Taiji Palace. If you have anything to say, please stay away.

If Aye knew about this, you would inevitably be scolded.

Your ninth brother is doing this for your own good.

You said it yourself, he is just a small censor, why bother with him, this is also his duty. "

Brothers are like brothers in war. Although Li Tai and Li Zhi did not have a very good relationship, they were brothers from the same mother after all.

The conversation naturally leans towards Li Zhi.

"Greetings to His Royal Highness the Prince of Wei, His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin, and His Royal Highness the Prince of Ji."

At this time, Wang Zhong ran over.

"What's the matter?" Li Tai asked.

"Your Highness Prince Ji, His Highness the Crown Prince has summoned you to the Liangyi Palace."

Wang Zhong said to Li Shen.

"Yeah." Li Shen nodded.

"Fourth brother, ninth brother, I will go ahead."

After saying this, he looked at Li Tai deeply and went to the back of the Taiji Hall. When passing by Li Zhi, Li Shen stopped and said softly:

"Watch your dog. If it bites anyone again, I won't mind killing it and eating its meat."

After saying that, he walked away.

"you......."

Looking at Li Shen's back as he walked away, Li Zhi was so angry that he was shaking all over.

Li Tai looked around, and those onlookers immediately dispersed. Li Tai then said:

"Chi Nu, what you did today was very unwise. I have told you many times not to provoke Lao Shi.

You just don't listen.

We are no match for Li Shen at all.

Not to mention that this is a small charge, even if he is really convicted, what can happen?

For Li Shen, the most he could do was be punished by house arrest.

He used lightning to strike the residences of more than a dozen officials, which made Gao Ji Fu so angry that he vomited blood. However, he was only punished with a few years of hard labor and three months of house arrest.

Don't forget that he is very favored by Aye and the prince now.

You really shouldn’t do this.”

Li Tai spoke in a tone of teaching, which also contained a hint of disappointment.

Among the legitimate sons, he had a relatively good relationship with Li Zhi, and they had the same mother.

If Li Zhi was overthrown by Li Shen, he would be alone and powerless.

At least now Li Zhi is there to take charge if anything happens.

"Fourth brother, I just don't understand why Li Shen has the strength he has today.

Apart from giving Aye some money, he did not make any major contribution to the Tang Dynasty.

Why does Aye dote on Li Shen so much?

I can understand that Li Shen has helped my eldest brother, but I don’t understand why Aye dotes on Li Shen so much, even more than my eldest brother.

What's more, the eldest brother didn't care at all and often defended Li Shen.

Isn't he afraid that Li Shen will become too powerful and want to seize the throne, so he will push him down? "

Li Zhi was somewhat unwilling as he had been greatly cared for by Li Shimin in the past.

Empress Changsun was also very fond of his youngest son, and Li Shimin would check his homework every day.

At that time, he truly was the love of his parents and received a lot of attention.

But later, when Li Shen rose to power, Li Shimin's attention shifted to Li Shen, which made him feel extremely jealous.

He studied hard, wanting to surpass Li Shen.

But before he could compete, Li Shen dropped out of the Imperial College and stopped studying.

All Li Zhi’s efforts were in vain.

Li Zhi was filled with hatred at that time.

Later, Li Shen became increasingly prominent in business and his family business became increasingly prosperous.

So Li Zhi also left the palace to do business, but his business was mediocre and he did not make much achievements. In the end, Li Shen cheated him of all his property and he owed a lot of money to the treasury.

He blamed all this on Li Shen. If it weren't for Li Shen, he would definitely be the brightest guy in everyone's eyes.

So Li Zhi hated Li Shen.

When Li Tai saw Li Zhi's appearance, he sighed in his heart. This legitimate brother was not like this before.

Li Zhi used to be steady and patient enough, but now he was forced into this state by Li Shen.

Thinking of this, Li Tai couldn't help but sigh:

"Alas~~~~ Chi Nu, there are many things you don't know here. Li Shen is not a simple character.

It was Li Shen's idea to plan the food supply at that time so that some small countries and tribes around the country could be incorporated into the Tang Dynasty without bloodshed.

Also, why did Goguryeo suffer from internal turmoil and the people were living in misery when the country was attacked?

In the end, the prince easily conquered most of Goguryeo.

Everyone thought that it was the imperial court that was behind the plan, but little did they know that Li Shen was the one controlling it in secret.

He also made a lot of money in Goguryeo.

However, this matter was top secret at the time, and the only person who knew about it was the third-rank prime minister.

Now the only people who know about these things are the Duke of Zhao and the Minister of Civil Affairs Tang Jian. The rest are no longer around."
