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

“Tenth brother, Aye said you are a smart person and you have grown up.

There are some things that I don't need to explain to you too thoroughly.

Being in the royal family, you should know what it's like. I'm not much of a nobody.

But I can tell you now that I will never harm you.

As long as you don't do anything excessive, Big Brother can treat you the same way as Aye did."

Li Chengqian looked at Li Shen and said seriously.

He believed that Li Shen understood what he meant because Li Shen was not a stupid person.

Li Chengqian has already said this much, if Li Shen still doesn't understand, then he is really stupid.

The so-called not excessive things meant that Li Shen should not rebel and should not compete with him for the throne.

As for Li Chengqian's assurance, Li Shen also had his own considerations in mind and could not fully believe it.

“Thank you, big brother. I understand what you mean. I am a lazy person and I don’t want to be so tired.

Life is only a few decades long, so I have to enjoy it.

"I will feel relieved if you explain it to me, brother. I will not delay your work any longer and will take my leave now."

The work was done, Li Shen stood up, bowed and left.

There is no need to emphasize some things repeatedly, as that will make you seem deliberate.

Li Chengqian did not try to persuade him to stay, but stood up and sent Li Shen to the entrance of the hall.

"I'll take my leave, little brother."

Li Shen bowed again, turned and left. His goal had been achieved.

Plant a seed and a sprout will grow.

~~~~~~~~~

Li Tai was in a very good mood after returning from Prince Ji's Mansion.

He specially asked someone to prepare a few dishes, and drank and watched the snow in the courtyard with his adviser Du Chuke.

"Your Majesty, this is indeed a brilliant move. I believe Prince Ji will definitely turn against the Crown Prince.

Even if they don't become enemies, there will still be grudges.

I admire you very much, and I offer you a toast."

Du Chuke raised his cup and flattered.

"Haha, Shanbin, you are exaggerating. It is not easy to make the Tenth Master and the Crown Prince turn against each other.

Just a few words from this king are not enough.

This prince also does not want to cause the Crown Prince and the Tenth Prince to turn against each other with just a few words.

This king is just planting a seed in Old Ten's heart.

Lao Shi’s weakness is that he is afraid of death and is timid.

Don't be fooled by his usual domineering behavior and his willingness to do anything. It's because he knows that with His Majesty protecting him, he will definitely not die.

There are only two people in this world that the Tenth Master is afraid of: one is His Majesty, and the other is the Crown Prince.

The present emperor and the future emperor both hold the power of life and death.

Why do you think he keeps befriending the prince?"

Li Tai finished his words in one gulp, with a smile on his face, looking like he had everything under control.

“Your Highness knows Prince Ji so well, I admire you.

It is said that Prince Ji is extremely intelligent, but he is no better than the prince."

Du Chuke said with admiration that the King of Wei was indeed very wise and had accurately controlled the situation over the years.

If Li Shen had not suddenly appeared and caught the King of Wei off guard, perhaps the failure would not have happened.

Li Tai shook his head after hearing this.

“Shanbin, don’t underestimate Lao Shi. If he were so simple, he wouldn’t be known as an evil ghost among those noble families and aristocrats.

I just caught his weakness and gave him a simple reminder.

And I'm afraid that Old Ten has already suspected that this was done by me.

Therefore, starting from today, all matters in the palace should be the same as usual. If anyone is watching us, do not alarm them.

Let’s settle down for a while.”

He never underestimated Li Shen. The more he studied Li Shen over the years, the more he felt that Li Shen was unpredictable.

Sometimes he even wondered if Li Shen really had a brain disease, as his behavior was so erratic.

"No matter what, the prince has caused some rift between Prince Ji and the crown prince today.

This is a good start. We can do a lot of things from this point on to make the gap between Prince Ji and the Crown Prince bigger and bigger.”

Li Tai nodded after hearing Du Chuke's words. He was in a good mood. He finally won a game.

"Haha, Shanbin, you're right, this is a good start, let's..."

When Li Tai was raising his glass to celebrate, the steward of Prince Wei's mansion ran over.

"Your Highness, the palace's chief steward is here."

"Someone's coming from the palace?"

Li Tai was stunned when he heard the report.

"Yes, Steward Wang said there was something important."

"Let's go, I'm going to take a look, Shanbin, you come with me."

Li Tai stood up and had to go no matter what the matter was. Wang De came, so it must be that His Majesty has something to say.

When he arrived at the front hall, Li Tai saw Wang De standing there waiting, followed by several eunuchs.

"This old servant pays respect to His Majesty the Prince of Wei."

When he saw Li Tai, Wang De smiled.

"No need to be so polite, Mr. Wang. Please take a seat and someone will serve tea."

Li Tai had a smile on his face.

"Thank you, Your Highness the King of Wei, but it's not necessary. I will leave after I finish my work." Li Tai shook his head and refused.

"I wonder why Chief Steward Wang came here. Does Aye have something to tell you?"

Li Tai asked Wang De after sitting down.

"Your Highness, the King of Wei, I am sorry for the offense."

"Have you offended me?" Just as Li Tai was stunned, he saw Wang De waving his hand.

Several eunuchs following behind him immediately stepped forward and pulled Li Tai up.

"What do you mean, Chief Steward Wang?"

Li Tai's face changed, and the servants of Prince Wei's mansion immediately stepped forward when they saw this situation.

"Your Highness, Prince of Wei, this is all His Majesty's request. I am going to enforce the family rules and give you forty strokes of the cane. I hope Your Highness, Prince of Wei, will not make it difficult for me."

Wang De remained calm and still had a smile on his face.

Li Tai's expression became even uglier.

"Manager Wang, why did Aye hit me? What did I do wrong?"

Li Tai was too fat, and the two eunuchs had difficulty pulling him.

Wang De waved his hand again, and two eunuchs came over from behind him.

"Your Highness Prince Wei, I don't know what's going on, so you have to figure it out yourself.

I hope Your Majesty will cooperate so that I can go back and report."

After Wang De finished speaking, he gave a look to the eunuchs. Without waiting for Li Tai to speak, the four eunuchs pulled Li Tai to the center of the hall and pressed him to the ground.

The servants of Prince Wei's mansion wanted to step forward but were stopped by Li Tai.

"Someone, stop everyone outside."

At Wang De's command, several palace guards who came with him immediately drove everyone out of the door and guarded it.

"My Lord, I'm sorry, please take off your pants."

Wang De first apologized, and then asked someone to pull Li Tai's pants down.

"Manager Wang, this is not necessary." Li Tai said angrily.

"Your Highness, Prince Wei, this is His Majesty's order. You must be beaten forty times."

Wang De squatted down and said calmly.

"Okay, very good." Li Tai said no more and let the eunuch take off his pants.

Everything was ready, and Wang De brought out the Li family rules that Li Shimin had personally made for Li Shen.

"Your Highness, I'm sorry." After apologizing again, Wang De swung the ruler and hit him hard.

After a "pop" sound, a pig-slaughtering sound was heard.

"Ah~~~~~"

(Poke, poke, poke.)
