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

Li Shen greatly satisfied Li Shimin's vanity. Apart from the fact that Li Shen was a little eccentric, he was quite satisfied with him.

"As long as Aye is satisfied, it's worth it for me to be beaten up by my elder brother. As long as Aye is happy, it's worth offending my elder brother.

If you feel bad, then give me some money as a reward for today's expenses."

Li Shen looked at Li Shimin pitifully.

"How much did you spend today?"

Li Shimin asked after hesitating for a moment.

"Not much, just ten thousand strings of cash."

"How many?"

"Ten thousand strings."

"Haha, haha." Li Shimin was so angry that he laughed. He felt that this son was good just now, but now it seems that he was overthinking.

He is blackmailing me so blatantly. Even if I am not the emperor, I am still his biological father.

"Ten thousand strings of cash? Old Ten, do you think I'm easy to deceive?"

"How dare I lie to you, Father? Today the lights in the nursing home are bright, and the candles cost nearly a thousand coins.

The tables and chairs used today are all made of the finest rosewood, and cost thousands of strings of cash.

There are also pots, each of which is made of refined pure copper and is worth more than ten strings of coins each.

The appearance fee for the singing and dancing geishas in Tian Shang Ren Jian is 1,000 kan, and they usually don’t perform on stage.”

"Even so, there is not a fortune of ten thousand strings of cash."

When Li Shimin heard Li Shen's account, he shouted angrily.

"Don't worry, Father. We haven't finished yet. Today's vegetables are all varieties from the Western Regions, from the vegetable base of Prince Ji's Mansion.

The vegetables we can eat in winter are so expensive that we have nowhere to buy them even if we have money.

And the mutton is a new breed of sheep that comes from the high mountains of the Western Regions and is combined with fine breeds from the north.

The meat is plump and not greasy.

And the beef was from a sacred cow in India, which was shipped to the Tang Dynasty after it listened to sutras chanting in front of the Buddha for 81 days.

Every cow is a high monk who has attained enlightenment. The meat is tender and melts in your mouth. Eating it can prolong your life.

Can also....”

"Come here, drag Prince Ji out and give him forty lashes."

Just when Li Shen was talking nonsense and foaming at the mouth, Li Shimin really couldn't listen any longer.

There was no need for the guards to come in, Wang De went forward and tried to pull Li Shen away.

"Hey? Hey? Aye, why is this happening?"

Li Shen struggled to break free. How could he get so angry just by talking to him? He started throwing sand just for fun.

We were just talking fine, why did he suddenly want to hit me?

"Huh? Why, rebellious son? Do you think I am one of those ignorant nobles who can be slaughtered at your will?"

Li Shimin's face darkened and he questioned Li Shen.

"Aye, what do you mean?" Li Shen tried to argue.

"The greenhouses in your Prince Ji's mansion cover hundreds of acres and are stocked with all kinds of vegetables and fruits, which are delivered to the palace every few days.

You told me it was a priceless treasure?

There is also beef and mutton, all of which are from breeding sheep that you purchased from the northern grasslands and bred yourself after returning.

Where did the Indian sacred bull come from?

Do you think the divine cow of India can understand the scriptures?

It is thousands of miles away from here to India. Can your divine bull make it to the Tang Dynasty?

Even if you could reach the Tang Dynasty, your divine cow would have already forgotten all the scriptures it heard.

Your memory is less than a month, so the divine bull can't be better than you."

Li Shimin looked at Li Shen jokingly.

"This...this one got beaten up."

Li Shen tried to make excuses.

"Hmph." Li Shimin snorted and waved at Wang De.

Wang De let Li Shen go.

"Do you think I don't know about what happened between you and the prince? The prince is so steady, why would he hit you?

He will inherit the throne in the future, doesn't he care about his appearance at all?

Besides, if he really attacks you, even if there are five of you, you will not be a match for the prince.

You don't have any scars on your body.

If I can't even see through the tricks of you two youngsters, how can I be the king of this country and rule over all the people in the world?"

It’s over, I’ve been seen through, Li Shen thought to himself, what he and the prince did were really sincere.

Moreover, what does it mean that even five of me are no match for the prince? Am I that weak?

"Hehe, Aye has a keen eye, Aye is wise and powerful, nothing can escape Aye's eyes."

Li Shen chuckled and hurried forward to get close to him, pouring tea and flattering him.

All the flattery today was snatched away by Cheng Yaojin, and Li Shen has not yet shown his ability.

"Okay, I know that today's matter has made it difficult for you, but I have my reasons for doing this, so you don't need to ask more questions.

And you were right not to let the prince come.

The first reason I entertained these old ministers was to remind them that the Tang Dynasty was hard-won and that every one of them had contributed.

Second, I have not been in the court in the past few years. I want to let them know that I am still alive, I can still wield a knife, and my knife has not rusted yet.

The third is to ask them to assist the prince well for the sake of their old friendship and not think about other things.

These old ministers have followed me for many years, and they know that friendship can only be maintained in private, not in the court."

The last words Li Shimin said were full of domineering power, majesty and murderous intent.

Li Chengqian may not have it in his lifetime.

Li Shen sometimes felt that the term "Son of Heaven" was very accurate. Some people were born to be emperors, and Li Shimin was one of them.

I can chat and laugh with you now, but I can turn around and kill you without any hesitation.

Memories of the past have made you feel attached to the country, so don’t destroy it easily.

Let you know that I am still alive and can kill people to shock everyone.

Finally, let me talk to you about our friendship. Don't have any evil thoughts and assist the prince well. I can drink and chat with you in private, as if we are the monarch and his subject, but I cannot do that in state affairs.

Li Shen now admires his father very much. If his father hadn't said anything, he would have thought it was just a simple class reunion.

It turns out that class reunions are not simple.

"Father, you are wise and intelligent. I admire you wholeheartedly."

Li Shen's admiration comes from the bottom of his heart.

"Flattery is useless. I heard that you made a lot of money today. The number of people staying in the nursing home alone is almost 100,000 strings of cash.

There are still dozens of people waiting to check in. Your appointment is for tomorrow, right?

Ten thousand strings of coins a year, you are really ruthless, ten thousand strings of coins can build a big house.

You actually use me to make money?

Besides, there are only so many houses here, how are you going to arrange for the extra people?"

Li Shimin felt helpless as he looked at his rebellious son in front of him. The salary had increased fivefold from two thousand strings of cash.

How can one be so dark-hearted?

"Don't worry, Aye, I had already thought of a solution, so there won't be any problem.

Hey, I just came up with a new word, called "pre-sale housing".

Guaranteed to be foolproof.”

Li Shen chuckled evilly and was extremely impressed with himself for being able to come up with such a wicked idea.

I am indeed a talented person.
