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

"Your Majesty, why not give Chi Nu the same amount of gold and put it together with Shen Er's as a return gift.

If I use Shen'er's money as a return gift for both of them.

I’m afraid there will be trouble later.”

Empress Zhangsun, who was beside Li Shimin, whispered in Li Shimin's ear.

She was afraid that the two brothers would cause trouble again because of this little money.

Li Shimin shook his head. It was more than 100,000 strings of cash. He couldn't bear to part with it.

The Queen's words were so soft that no one heard them except one person, Concubine Wei who was standing beside Li Shimin.

Concubine Wei looked at Li Shen with anger and warning in her eyes, which made Li Shen feel creepy.

At this time, Li Chengqian also winked at Li Shenlian, telling him to stop making trouble and not to embarrass His Majesty.

"Your Majesty, the matter of returning the gift still needs your decision, and the banquet will soon be over."

As the host, Changsun Wuji still needs to be responsible for returning the gifts.

"Let's use King Ji's gold as a return gift and notify the guests to collect the gold at the city gate."

Finally, Li Shimin glared at Li Shen and made a decision.

"Yes, I will announce it right away."

Changsun Wuji nodded, smiled, saluted, and prepared to leave.

"and many more."

Li Shen suddenly shouted, and everyone's eyes turned to Li Shen, especially Li Shimin and Concubine Wei.

There was anger in his eyes.

Everyone wanted to see what else Prince Ji would do.

From outside the palace to inside the palace, Prince Ji has always been targeting Prince Jin. This is obvious to everyone. Doesn't Prince Ji want to let Prince Jin go?

Prince Jin had already lost face today, and the return gift he gave was Prince Ji's gold.

What else does King Ji want to do?

"Li Shen, what do you want to do now?"

Li Shimin's tone was somewhat unfriendly.

Li Shen stood up and bowed deeply to Li Shimin.

"I am grateful to you for bringing me up, and I am even more grateful for your teachings over the years.

This is how I was able to have some family property, which I will never forget.

I was young and frivolous, and I have caused a lot of trouble over the years. I often made my father and mother worry. I am an unfilial son.

Today I want to thank my father and mother for their tolerance and support over the years. "

As he said this, Li Shen fell to the ground and kowtowed.

Li Shimin had never expected Li Shen to do this and was a little stunned. When Empress Changsun heard what Li Shen said, she was so moved that tears came to her eyes.

"Shen'er, what are you doing? Hurry up and get up. Wang De, help Shen'er up."

Empress Changsun wiped her tears and gave instructions to Wang De beside her.

Wang De hurried forward to help Li Shen up, but Li Shen did not get up.

"Aye, mother, everything I have is given by my parents, and everything I have also belongs to Aye, mother.

Mr. Wang, please tell the guests that His Majesty is very pleased that they can come to watch the ceremony today and has specially rewarded them with 100 taels of gold.

Send some eunuchs to the gate of the imperial city to distribute gold.

I would like to donate these ten thousand taels of gold to my father and mother to thank them for their many years of raising me.

I hope Aye will help me."

Li Shen kowtowed again as he spoke, his words were so sincere and heartfelt that it was hard not to cry when listening to them.

"Shen'er, you child, you child, why do you have to do this?"

Empress Changsun wiped her tears and was deeply moved. Although Li Shen was not her biological son, to be honest, he was closer to her than her own son.

She met and talked with Li Shen more times than with her three sons combined.

Moreover, this son has never been so reserved in front of her, and he always makes her very happy every time they chat.

The feelings are extremely deep.

Now that the son has grown up, he knows how difficult it is for his parents. Which parent would not dare to do the same?

"Your Majesty, Prince Ji is Renxiao."

"Yes, Your Majesty, I am a little envious."

At this moment, the three kings that Li Shen was not familiar with all began to praise Li Shen.

In their opinion, even if they are father and son, they cannot spend 100,000 strings of cash at once.

Only Li Daozon, Li Xiaogong, Li Chengqian, and Li Tai, who were familiar with Li Shen, did not speak.

Especially Li Daozong and Li Xiaogong, neither of them expressed their opinions from beginning to end.

Whether before or now, they just quietly watched the little prince perform by himself.

As for Li Shen's filial piety, they believed it; they had also heard from their princess.

Li Shen sent gifts to the palace every month, and also went personally to chat with Concubine Wei to relieve her boredom.

But if you say that he has come to his senses and realized the nonsense he has been doing all these years, the two of them will definitely not believe it.

If this guy could wake up, he wouldn't be so rampant in Chang'an.

Li Shimin knew Li Shen best and was very satisfied with Li Shen's performance. This was the best way to resolve this matter.

Although Li Shen was somewhat touched by the touching remarks he received, he did not quite believe them.

"Aye, why don't you just follow my tenth brother's orders?"

Li Chengqian finally spoke up to persuade.

"Yes, Your Majesty, Shen'er is very filial, so just follow his advice."

Empress Changsun also followed suit.

"Well, considering your filial piety, I will do as you say. Although you have some family property,

But I haven't taken it seriously yet.

But you have just come of age, and since you have such a sincere intention, I cannot disrespect you.

Wang De, just do as King Ji said. "

Finally Li Shimin nodded.

"Thank you, Aye."

Li Shen then got up from the ground, his face full of sincerity and tears in his eyes.

Humph, I really can't help but be sentimental.

But luckily I got away with it without using any big tricks, otherwise I would have sung a song about father to liven up the atmosphere.

Wang De agreed, followed Changsun Wuji out, stood on the steps and said loudly:

"Your Majesty has spoken, today is the auspicious day for the King of Jin and the King of Ji to hold their coming-of-age ceremonies, and I am very pleased that you have come to watch the ceremony.

The New Year is approaching, and you have all worked hard for a year, so today I will give each family a reward of 100 taels of gold as a reward for your hard work this year."

"We thank your Majesty for the reward."

All the ministers stood up and saluted.

A hundred ounces of gold, a thousand strings of cash. They are not prime ministers, so they don't have such high salaries.

Most of the people here are officials of the fifth and fourth ranks.

His Majesty was indeed generous. The return gift was a hundred taels of gold. Everyone felt that Li Shimin was very generous.

Only a hint of disappointment appeared in Changsun Wuji's eyes.

At this moment, Li Shimin's complexion improved and a smile appeared on his face.

"Your Majesty, the time has come."

At this time Wang De came over to remind him.

Li Shimin nodded, and all the male members of the Li family present stood up.

When it comes to ancestor worship, it is time to tell the ancestors that two of their descendants have grown up.

Under the leadership of Li Shimin, everyone set out for the Li family's seven temples, also known as the Taimiao.

However, Li Shen discovered one thing: the King of Xiangyi was actually carried away by someone and sat on a bamboo chair.

"Fourth brother, what does this mean? Aye walked there, why does he need someone to carry him?"

Li Shen approached Li Tai and asked.

"Old Ten, you don't know him, do you?"

Li Tai asked with a smile.

"Is he famous? Not only him, I don't know those two either."

Li Shen secretly pointed at the other two.
