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

"You...you...you are really unreasonable. Your money came from a bad source. Don't you feel any guilt when you spend it?"

Li Zhi pointed at Li Shen and said angrily, trembling.

"Pheasant slave, calm down, we are all brothers, why should you be angry? You are the same, Old Ten, and you are deliberately angry with your Ninth Brother."

Seeing that Li Zhi was so angry, Li Tai was afraid that a fight would break out later, so he hurriedly persuaded him.

"Brother Ninth, what do you mean? Where did my money come from? I earned all this money through hard work." Li Shen said righteously.

“You still have the nerve to say you earned it, but how much money have you defrauded you over the years.

You actually defrauded Aye of more than four million yuan. You are so brave. "Li Zhi pointed at Li Shen and continued angrily.

"Pheasant slave!" Li Tai scolded.

How can this matter be brought to the table? Doesn't this show that they have spies in the court?

They may even suspect that they have spies in the palace.

Li Shen frowned after hearing Li Zhi's words. This matter has actually spread here?

Wouldn't this cost him his life?

It's best if this news doesn't spread, so that he will be safe.

"Brother Jiu, don't talk nonsense. When did I defraud Aye of his money? You must have evidence when you speak.

Where did you get this news? Don’t be deceived by villains.

If this spreads out and Aye knows about it, it will not end well for you and me. "

Li Shen said slowly.

Li Zhi glanced at Li Tai, and then continued to ask:

"Don't worry about it. I naturally have my own sources of information, and Prince Jin's Palace is not a vegetarian.

But you are so brave, you actually dared to defraud Aye of so much money.

Let me see how you end up! "

In his opinion, Li Shen had defrauded His Majesty of so much money, and it was impossible for His Majesty not to punish Li Shen.

The crime of deceiving the emperor is no small matter.

"Haha, I also want to tell Brother Ninth that what you said is completely false. If it is true, why did I not see His Majesty's imperial edict for so long after I came back?

Also, I also want to tell Brother Jiu that I, Prince Ji, are not vegetarians. "

Li Shen won't give in at all. You're not easy to mess with. Do you think I'm easy to mess with?

The atmosphere became a little tense. Li Shen and Li Zhi both looked at each other, neither of them flinched.

"Okay, okay, what are you two doing? Why are you doing this if you are brothers?

Are you two destined to be at odds with each other? If you are together, you will fight each other.

Today we are here to eat meat and drink wine, don’t say much else.

Come and have a drink. "

Li Tai tried to smooth things over. He didn't want to see these two people fighting. It was meaningless at all.

“But Lao Shi, not only we know about this, many people in Chang’an City know about it.

Don't tell me that this matter has nothing to do with you.

The immortal story you told Aye is exactly the same as the legendary picture book you wrote. "

Li Tai asked in a low voice with a curious look on his face.

Li Shen was also helpless. He didn't expect this matter to come out so quickly.

But how could one admit such a thing?

"Fourth brother, this is just a coincidence. I just used the name of that immortal.

He is not the immortal that my brother mentioned at all.

If you think about it, how could Aye not punish him? It has been so long now, even if the journey is far away, he should have arrived long ago.

Can I still let my little brother be so carefree and happy? "

Seeing that Li Shen refused to tell the truth, Li Tai no longer hesitated, but shook his head:

"Oh~~~ You should take care of yourself and be careful. If Aye really orders punishment, don't worry, fourth brother will definitely intercede for you."

What Li Tai said was sincere, but Li Shen was disdainful in his heart. Li Tai would have done well if he didn't add insult to injury.

If you expect him to plead for mercy, you will die faster.

However, he still had to save his face, so Li Shen bowed his hand to Li Tai.

"Thank you so much, Fourth Brother. Don't worry, I feel no guilt in my heart."

The atmosphere is no longer as harmonious as before, and the meal is almost done by this point.

Li Tai and Li Zhi stood up to say goodbye, and Li Shen sent them to the door.

After watching the two people disappear, Li Shen returned to his yard.

"Your Majesty, it seems that this matter has spread in the capital."

After Li Shen sat down, Wang Xuance said.

"Yes, I didn't expect that the news would spread so quickly, and that it was all here. In the court, the people who heard my story that day were all the chief officials of the three provinces and six ministries.

The people here must be the ones who spread this news. We have many enemies here.

The noble family, and the old thief Changsun. "

Li Shen took another sip of wine. This matter was either a big deal or a small matter.

"My lord, I think you should make plans in advance to avoid being taken advantage of." Wang Xuance reminded.

"What you said makes sense. Immediately write a letter and send a horse back to Chang'an to ask Wang Hongfu to pay attention to the rumors in the market.

Don't let the news spread, use public opinion to suppress it as soon as possible.

If this matter spreads, this king will be doomed. "

Li Shen thought for a moment and immediately ordered.

"Yes, I will take care of it immediately." Wang Xuance also knew that the situation was urgent and

In the past, when Li Shen deceived the emperor, it was just as a joke with Li Shimin, and the people who knew about it were within a small circle.

Therefore Li Shimin is unwilling to pursue the case, but if everyone in the world knows that Li Shen deceived the emperor,

In order to maintain imperial power and to gain prestige as the emperor, Li Shimin had to punish Li Shen and give an explanation to the world.

It will never be as simple as being punished or grounded.

Li Tai and Li Zhi each returned to their own courtyards, and Li Tai called Du Chuke to talk about today's conversation.

"Why do you think Lao Shi is so confident? Is he simply being arrogant, or does he have some means to ensure that he is safe and sound?"

Li Tai asked while pouring himself tea after sitting down.

Du Chuke thought for a moment and shook his head.

"Your Majesty, I can't even imagine this. Judging from Prince Ji's usual behavior, he is indeed a bit arrogant.

Relying on His Majesty's favor, doing things without considering the consequences.

But don’t forget, Your Majesty, Prince Ji is not a reckless person. Your Majesty also said that Prince Ji is thoughtful and cautious in doing things.

Prince Ji comes across as moody and fickle, and sometimes very contradictory in his behavior and actions.

So I really can’t see through King Ji. "

"Yes, Lao Shi sometimes does seem to have a brain disease and is a little abnormal.

You write a letter and send it back. Don't let Lao Shi have too much leisure. "

Li Tai agreed with Du Chuke's point of view. Li Shen acted like a fool sometimes, and you had no idea what he was thinking.

Often do some unusual things.

Li Tai then dictated and Du Chuke copied it. Half an hour later, Du Chuke sent a secret letter.

"Send someone to send this secret letter back to Chang'an and act in accordance with the instructions in the secret letter."

At this moment, in Li Zhi's mansion, Li Zhi also held a letter and gave instructions to his confidants.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

A moment later, Li Zhi's confidant also sent a secret letter to Chang'an City.
