Zhenguan Xiaoxian Wang Li Shen Li Shimin

The armored cavalry led the way with dragon flags in their hands, followed by hundreds of sword soldiers and the left and right Yulin guards, and at the end were still armored cavalry.

In the middle is the emperor's carriage pulled by six horses. It is spacious, gorgeous and solemn.

"No way, it's just a banquet, why is there such a grand procession?"

Li Shen looked at him from afar and couldn't help muttering, why his father had the same temper as him, loving to show off.

"Your Majesty, it's not a big visit, it should be a small visit, but there are too many guards."

Wang Xuance, who was standing by, looked at the distance and explained to Li Shen.

"This is not even a grand visit. Didn't they say that a grand visit would include 1,838 people?"

Li Shen turned his head and looked at Wang Xuance in confusion.

"Your Majesty, the number of people is not enough. There are many missing here, including officials to lead the way, prime ministers to ride horses, generals to sit with us, and..."

"Alright, alright, no need to tell me, I won't be able to remember even if you tell me, and I won't be able to use it.

Tell them to put away their weapons, dress neatly and prepare to welcome the emperor."

As Li Shen spoke, he began to tidy up his clothes and brush off the dust on his body.

The road clearing team came here first.

"Your Highness Prince Ji, please remove your guards."

The commander bowed to Li Shen and spoke politely.

"Tie Niu, take your men and retreat to the river."

Li Shen waved his hand.

Tie Niu nodded and led his guards to retreat from the roadside to the river, which was a distance of a hundred feet.

Then Li Shimin's troops came closer.

"Welcome Your Majesty."

"Welcome Your Majesty."

Led by Li Shen, the Yulin guards guarding the gate will follow Li Shen in saluting, with a deafening sound.

Li Shimin walked out of the carriage, stood on the tall carriage, and looked at Li Shen and everyone.

"waived!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Li Shen raised his head and looked at Li Shimin in the carriage.

I sighed inwardly, he was indeed majestic, except for his height, everything else was the same as me, mighty, domineering, handsome and elegant.

"King Ji."

Li Shimin looked at Li Shen and shouted.

"Yes, I am." Li Shen woke up and responded quickly.

"You've done a great job. Let's make the arrangements and come in with me."

Li Shimin showed a satisfied look.

"Yes, Aye, go ahead, I'll catch up after I make some arrangements."

The conversation was simple. After Li Shimin finished speaking, he got into the carriage and entered the nursing home under the escort of the Yulin Guards.

Most of the guards stayed behind to do the protective work.

Li Shen began to let Shitou help him remove his armor, and said as he did so:

“Xuan Ce, you will go in with me later. Shi Tou, you go and tell Tie Niu to wait outside and not get too close to avoid misunderstandings.

Send someone back to inform the princess that I will not be going back today."

"It's the prince."

After taking off their armor, Li Shen and Wang Xuance rode on horses to catch up.

The nursing home was bustling with activity. Everyone came in and gathered together to drink tea and chat.

"Your Majesty has arrived~~~~~~"

With a long chant, all the civil and military officials stopped and came to the central area to wait for the emperor to arrive.

Li Shimin's carriage stopped in front of everyone and Li Shimin got off the carriage.

"See Your Majesty."

"Haha, my dear ministers, please don't be polite."

Li Shimin laughed loudly, looked around and glanced at everyone.

They nodded secretly. Most of them were the old people who had followed him in the past, and the rest were important officials in the court.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Aye, let's go in and talk." Li Shen suggested from the side.

Li Shimin nodded, took the lead, and all the ministers followed him to the place where today's banquet would be held.

The largest house in the nursing home was originally reserved for Li Shen himself.

Li Shimin came to the hall and stood in the main seat, and other ministers also came to their seats.

There were not many people today, only a few dozen in total, with four tables, plus Li Shimin's main seat, a total of five tables.

"I am very pleased that you have come here today. I recall that you helped me establish the Tang Dynasty and later helped me govern the country.

Decades have passed in a flash. I am old, and you all are old too.

It has been a long time since we, the king and his subjects, have had a drink together."

Li Shimin was filled with emotion, and decades had passed in the blink of an eye.

Thinking back to when the Jinyang uprising began, I was just an adult.

Now he is over fifty years old.

"Your Majesty is still as vigorous as before. How can you say you are old?" Cheng Yaojin was the first to come out and flatter him.

"Yes, Your Majesty is much better than us old ministers. Your Majesty is still as elegant as ever."

As soon as someone spoke, all the old ministers below began to flatter him, and the atmosphere immediately became tense.

Li Shen was originally planning to attack first, but he didn't expect to be beaten to it by Cheng Yaojin.

"Li Shen, how did you arrange it?"

Li Shimin asked.

“Return to Aye, it’s still early, let’s drink some tea, chat and listen to some music first.

Then we had our meal. In addition to the dishes, we also prepared hot pot. The weather was cold, and eating hot pot could keep the cold away.

Singing and dancing are also necessary to ensure that Aye can have fun and enjoy himself. "

Li Shen replied in a low voice.

"Yeah, great, go get ready."

Li Shimin nodded.

"Aye, please go sit in the inner room. It's a bit cold outside."

Li Shen was ready, Li Shimin was in the inner room, and the other ministers were in the hall.

The hall will definitely be cold with the door open.

"No need for now. It's not cold now. I want to chat with you, my dear ministers. Let's get closer."

Li Shimin refused.

Li Shen didn't say much and started preparing tea with Wang De.

A dozen maids from the palace came out with tea trays and placed one on each table.

Li Shen stood in the middle and said loudly:

"Today, everyone, I have prepared for your Majesty and you a new kind of tea developed by Prince Ji's Palace. This tea is picked from the mountains of Fuzhou.

This tea is made after 81 steps of production in Prince Ji’s Mansion, which takes 49 days.

This tea strengthens the spleen and reduces fat, prolongs life. Women who drink it can lose weight and beautify their skin.

The quantity is rare, and this is tribute tea specially made for Your Majesty and the Queen. Today, Your Majesty is entertaining all the old ministers.

Only then did I let the king take out some for everyone to taste."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, and thank you, Your Highness Prince Ji."

Everyone stood up and saluted Li Shen. There was no doubt that what Prince Ji took out must be a good thing.

This guy is the one who knows how to enjoy life the most in the entire Tang Dynasty. He will never use anything that is not a good thing.

"Haha, my dear ministers, there is no need to be like this. Today, the emperor and his subjects are having fun together. If there are good things, they should naturally be shared with you, my dear ministers."

Li Shimin was laughing so happily, that's why he brought this rebellious son here.

It’s such an honor!

Every time there is such an occasion, he gets proud and can feel the gazes and approval of others.

Li Shen once said that this is called appearance, and bringing Li Shen along can greatly enhance his vanity.

Although he didn't know what kind of tea Li Shen was drinking.

But those 981 steps and 7749 days sound extraordinary.

Of course, everything in Prince Ji’s Mansion was made with a 998-step production process, but Li Shimin didn’t care at all.

As long as he could save face, it was enough. What this rebellious son took out must be good things. Li Shimin was secretly happy.
