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

Li Chengqian couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of tea and started coughing continuously.

When he looked up again, he saw that Li Shen was already ten feet away from the table.

"Luckily I am good at fighting and I dodged quickly. My clothes are new and worth eight hundred strings of cash."

Li Shen patted his little heart, looking like he was still frightened.

"Tenth brother, why do you have such thoughts? Why would I want to harm you?"

Li Chengqian asked with a serious face.

Li Shen sat back in his seat, took a sip of tea, and said casually:

"Because I am financially strong, because I have a large family and a great business, and because I am favored by Aye."

"So what? Even if you have the financial resources, a large family, and Aye loves you,

I'm going to kill you just because of this?"

Li Chengqian asked with a little surprise. He didn't understand why Li Shen thought this way.

I have never thought of killing Li Shen.

His father had told him that Li Shen would be of great use to him, especially after he became regent in the past few years.

He has clearly realized the role played by Li Shen.

"Because I have money and power, plus Aye's favor, I can threaten my eldest brother's position as the crown prince.

And has the ability to compete for this position.”

Li Shen answered seriously.

Li Chengqian smiled slightly after hearing this and looked at his younger brother. Although he was serious, the more he looked at him, the more he wanted to laugh.

"Do you want to compete with me for the throne? Or do you want to be the emperor?"

There were no outsiders here, so Li Chengqian had nothing to be shy about.

Li Shen shook his head.

"No, I have never thought about competing for this position. As for the emperor, dog... I don't want to be the emperor."

Li Shen was serious this time. Look at Li Chengqian now, he gets up early and goes to bed late, and dares not slack off for a moment.

They also have to deal with those interest groups in the court, engaging in a battle of wits and courage.

Not only am I physically and mentally exhausted every day, I’m also unhappy.

Li Shen sometimes suspected that emperors of all dynasties died of exhaustion.

What's so good about being an emperor? It's so tiring, there's no salary, and no overtime pay for overtime work.

Once you sit in that position, it means you have to stay in that imperial city for the rest of your life. If you want to see the outside world,

Countless ministers will come out to stop it.

No wonder the emperor played market games in the harem, they were all imagined out of nothing.

In Li Shen's view, being an emperor means being a beast of burden in a pen, and he made up a lie that the whole world belongs to him.

I will give you a nice name called Emperor, and you will work as a millstone in this imperial city.

Li Shen had had enough of being treated like an ox or a horse, and he didn't want to be one anymore.

"Haha, that's it. Since you don't want to compete with me for this position, why would I want to kill you?"

Hearing Li Shen's firm words, Li Chengqian chuckled. His father once told him that Li Shen had no interest in the throne and even felt a little disgusted with it.

"But...but, brother, aren't you afraid of me? I don't want to be the boss, but you don't necessarily believe me.

You might suspect that I want to compete with you for the throne, and then secretly attack me and try to kill me."

Li Shen stared at Li Chengqian with his big eyes.

Li Chengqian was left in tears and amused by what Li Shen said. How could you ask so directly? Even if I wanted to harm you, I would not say yes if you asked me so directly.

But soon Li Chengqian thought of another question:

"Tenth brother, I believe you, but I am very curious, why do you have such an idea?

Could it be that Qingque told you that?"

He remembered that Li Shen had just said that Li Tai went to his house and talked to him.

"Not all of them, some of them are my own ideas." Li Shen shook his head.

"Then tell me what he said to you?"

Li Shen thought about it and nodded, then took a sip of tea:

"This matter must first start with the incident in the northwest of Prince Ji's Mansion. There was a problem with my management in Xizhou Prefecture."

Li Shen first gave a general account of Wang Wencheng's story in Xizhou.

“Wang Wencheng was killed on the way, and I knew there must be someone behind this.

Using my people to make money can also make my people fall into ruin, killing two birds with one stone."

"Is this actually true?" Li Chengqian stood up.

At the beginning, Li Shen approached him, hoping that he could order Ashina's tribe to enter the pass and escort the property for Prince Ji's palace.

At that time, Li Shen did not say that such a big thing had happened in Xizhou.

The manager of Prince Ji's palace committed murder for money, harmed the people, colluded with local officials, and conspired with the leader of the Hu people. What a heinous crime this is.

The person behind this wants to make Li Shen fall into eternal damnation.

"It is absolutely true. Aye knew about this a long time ago. It was Aye who issued the imperial decree. I paid two hundred thousand strings of money for this.

Two hundred thousand strings of cash! ! "

Li Shen was heartbroken and beat his chest and stamped his feet.

"Go on." Li Chengqian was not so excited. He had guessed it the day before yesterday about transporting the money.

"My fourth brother sent me a visiting card yesterday and came this morning, and then..."

Li Shen repeated what he had said to Li Shimin.

"Finally, Fourth Brother said that you are the ruler and I am the subject, and I should maintain the courtesy between ruler and subject with you, which cannot be crossed."

After Li Shen finished speaking, he picked up the tea to moisten his throat, leaving Li Chengqian enough time to think.

Li Chengqian was indeed digesting Li Shen's words. His brows were furrowed and the expressions on his face kept changing.

From Li Shen’s explanation, we can know that what Li Tai said was ultimately directed at him, Li Chengqian.

He was telling Li Shen that it was Li Chengqian who was behind this matter, because he had the opportunity to see the secret order issued by Li Shimin.

It's just that he really didn't see it, and he didn't pay attention to it. The period before the New Year was the busiest time.

In order to achieve rapid growth, he tried to do everything himself, even if it was just a review of the three provinces, he would still take a look.

So he had no idea that his younger brother and his father had done such a big thing.

And judging from the situation, it seems that there is another younger brother involved.

"Brother, big brother."

Li Shen's shout interrupted Li Chengqian's thoughts. Li Chengqian calmed down and a smile returned to his face.

"Ah, I was a little dazed. I was wondering who was behind you. I would never do such a thing.

You have to check it carefully."

“Well, I have sent people to investigate, but Aye said that we cannot alert the locals, otherwise Anxi may be unstable.

Tell me not to investigate Guo Xiaoke and those tribal leaders."

Li Shen nodded.

After hearing this, Li Chengqian's pupils shrank, and then he smiled and agreed.

“Aye is right, Anxi is still unstable now, if there is a rebellion, it will have a great impact on the court.

Next year, Aye will have to fight against the Western Turks, so the stability of Anxi is very important."

"Well, it doesn't matter who it is, as long as it's not my eldest brother. You don't know, I'm very afraid of death."

Li Shen said this jokingly, but it sounded quite different to Li Chengqian's ears.

He could hear Li Shen's nervousness and fear.
