The next day Li Shen got up early, took a bath and changed clothes, put on royal clothes, and headed to the imperial city before dawn.

Today is the day when he goes to court to report on his duties. He has been in the northwest for so long, and as the governor of Qinghai Province, he has all the power to build important cities in Qinghai Province. When he comes back, he must share it with everyone.

Li Shen got off the carriage when he arrived at the palace gate and walked slowly towards Tai Chi Hall. When he got there, he must be late as usual.

When he arrived, everyone arrived, including Li Shimin. Li Shen, as usual, shamelessly walked forward.

Don’t forget to say hello to the people you know along the way.

"How are you, Mr. Yi Guo?"

"Oh, Lu Gongguo is getting stronger and stronger."

"Gong E Guo, your son still owes me two thousand guan and has not paid him back. When will he pay it back to me?"

Seeing Li Shen's appearance, Li Shimin's blood immediately surged.

"You bastard, why are you late again? Get to your place quickly."

This guy just didn't put on the roof for three days.

Li Shen didn't take Li Shimin's scolding to heart and did not forget to say hello to several prime ministers when he came to the front row.

"How is your health, Mr. Fang?"

"Uncle is so radiant."

"Oh, eldest brother, fourth brother and ninth brother, are you here too?"

"My veteran is in good health. Thank you for your concern, His Highness Prince Ji." Fang Xuanling replied with a smile.

Changsun Wuji nodded in response.

Only Brother Li Chengqian, Li Tai, and Li Zhi didn't even look at Li Shen.

It's so embarrassing. Why are we here? It's an early morning meeting. How about not coming?

Seeing that his three brothers ignored him, Li Shen was not embarrassed and bowed to Li Shimin who was sitting on top.

"Sir, see Aye."

Li Shimin was so angry with Li Shen that he was on the verge of exploding. He suppressed his anger and said:

"Just wait aside."

"Yes, Aye." Li Shen knelt down obediently.

"Your Majesty, at the beginning of the month, Colonel Yu Wenfa came to Wuluohu and encountered Xue Yantuo Aboshe's soldiers and horses at the eastern border of Xue Yantuo.

Yu Wenfa led his troops to defeat him and killed more than a thousand enemies. Xue Yantuo's country was shaken and all tribes were in chaos.

Xueyantuo Khan Duomi led thousands of cavalry to defect to the Asteh Shijian tribe,"

The person who reported on the war situation in the north was Li Shen's father-in-law, Lu Shuang, the Minister of War.

The war in the north went smoothly, which also made Li Shimin feel relieved. The Hu people have been a serious problem in the Central Plains since ancient times.

As an ambitious emperor, Li Shimin certainly hoped to pacify the north.

What followed was a while of trivial matters. Li Shen felt drowsy after listening to it.

"King Ji, tell me about your situation in Qinghai Road." Finally it was Li Shen's turn to report.

Li Shen stood up and thought for a while.

"Back to Aye, I have explored the topography of Qinghai Road and made preparations for future garrisoning.

The Qinghai capital can complete the construction of the four walls this year, and it is expected that the internal construction will be completed by the middle of next year.

However, if the mutual market is to be opened, it will be possible in the spring of next year.

I just don’t know what approach the court will take to open the mutual market?

Is it open within a specified time or is it open over a long period of time? "

"His Royal Highness Prince Ji, last year you said that the construction would be completed within one year, but now you say that only four walls have been completed. Could it be that His Highness Prince Ji deliberately deceived the Emperor?"

Just when Li Shen finished speaking, a censor from the censor station stood up.

Li Shen looked back and looked a little unfamiliar. He had never seen him before, so Li Shen chose to ignore him.

Li Shen just looked at Li Shimin.

In fact, Li Shimin was also blaming Li Shen. He promised to build it in one year, but now he has built four walls.

However, the blame was his business and could not be revealed in front of the ministers, so he said to Li Shen:

"Old Shi, please explain this to Wang Yushi."

"Wang Yushi?" Li Shen was stunned, and then suddenly realized that his father was reminding him that this person was from the Wang family.

Li Shen got rid of the second-in-command of the Wang family's Yushitai, in preparation for revenge.

"Wang Yushi, right? What do you need me to explain?"

"His Royal Highness Prince Ji, you have not fulfilled your promise to His Majesty. Shouldn't you explain it? This is the crime of deceiving the emperor." This Wang Yushi obviously still has some fighting ability, and he is a big hat.

Li Shen smiled contemptuously, did he still think he was King Ji from ten years ago?

"Wang Yushi, what do you want me to explain? I'm bragging and talking big words. What can you do to me?

Are you satisfied with this explanation? "

As soon as Li Shen finished speaking, there were several laughs from the officials.

This King Ji is still using his usual rogue tactics. He is already eighteen years old, doesn't he think about his own face?

Especially Cheng Yaojin and Yuchi Jingde looked at Li Shen with their eyes shining brightly. We have someone to succeed us.

"You..." The royal censor of the Wang family was speechless for a moment because of Li Shen's rogue attitude.

This was his first time fighting Li Shen. He had heard that Li Shen was difficult to deal with before, but he didn't say he was shameless.

"Your Highness Prince Ji, this is above the imperial court. How can it be like this? Qinghai Dao's important towns play a great role in the imperial court.

King Ji actually made fun of the affairs of the court like this. His Majesty felt that King Ji was unworthy of his position. "

Cui Renzhi, the censor, stood up. The five surnames were united, so of course he had to stand up and help.

"Yes, Your Majesty, Prince Ji is having some fun."

"How can such a big thing be taken so seriously?"

Sure enough, after Cui Renzhi came forward, a group of people immediately came forward to accuse Li Shen.

Li Shen was already used to it. Li Shimin gave Li Shen a wink, which meant that if you cause trouble, you can handle it yourself.

"Everyone, please don't worry. I was just joking with Yu Shi Wang. In fact, the explanation is very simple.

The king only doubled the construction of the important city required by the imperial court, so the construction period was delayed. "

"Double the size?" Cui Renzhi was a little surprised.

"His Royal Highness Prince Ji is indeed kind and filial, helping His Majesty solve problems."

Everyone started talking one after another, and many people began to praise King Ji for his service to the court.

What are you doing to be filial to Your Majesty?

"This kid is so rich, he's really a loser."

"You know what the heck, this kid has a dark heart, he can make it back in the future."

The atmosphere was originally warm, and Li Shen responded one after another with thanks for the compliments, but there were two people who always said things at inappropriate times that Li Shen didn't like to hear.

Li Shen used his butt to figure out who these two guys were, Cheng Yaojin, the Duke of Lu, and Chi Jingde, the Duke of E.

Li Shen turned around and looked at the position of these two guys, and they both turned their heads at the same time.

"Gong E Guo, your son Yuchi Baolin borrowed two thousand gu from me and hasn't paid back the money in ten years.

You go back and tell your son that the interest rate is now 200,000 yuan.

If you don't pay back the money, I'll steal your palace. "Li Shen said fiercely to Yuchi Jingde.

"Two hundred thousand guan? Your Highness Prince Ji, even if my Duke's Mansion of E is sold, it's not even worth 200,000 guan."

This is too shady for you. Is two thousand guans and four years so much profit?

It's all your fault, you old man. You have to tell me what this kid is doing. You said it yourself that he has a dark heart. "

Yuchi Jingde was going crazy, so he quarreled with Cheng Yaojin again.
