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

"Brother, my help to you is out of brotherly love, and I have no purpose.

Because I think you will be a wise ruler in the future.

I don't need anything in return from you, I just want to be a free and unfettered prince in the future.

I will be grateful to you forever.”

Some things don't need to be said too obviously. Li Shen believed that with Li Chengqian's wisdom, he would know it as soon as he heard it.

Otherwise, how can I be the emperor?

"Alas, Tenth Brother, now that you and Chi Nu have broken off, what are you going to do?"

Li Chengqian sighed. Even their throwing failed to resolve the conflict, so nothing he said would help.

Li Shen shook his head:

"Don't worry, big brother. Although we have hatred, haven't we been living in peace for so many years?

I am still very polite. As long as Brother Nine doesn't harm me, I won't go against him.

Otherwise, wouldn't that be an act of disrespect, saying that I don't know etiquette?"

Li Shen's face was full of smiles, but Li Chengqian would never believe what Li Shen said. He could only sigh helplessly again:

"Alas~~~~ Tenth brother, I know I can't persuade you two, but I just hope you can show mercy and save his life.

If that day comes, I promise you that I will give you justice and will never let you down."

This is the only thing Li Chengqian can do now, he can only not help either side.

"Haha, big brother, you are joking. That won't happen. I just hope that ninth brother can spare my life.

Don't worry, brother, we are just having a small fight, just a quarrel between brothers.

Nothing will happen.

Big brother, you should just focus on governing the country, learn governance experience, and cultivate like-minded confidants.

When you finish, Aye will abdicate and let my elder brother take over. Aye has already told me this."

Li Shen smiled and comforted him, saying that the most important thing was that Li Chengqian could inherit the throne smoothly.

I've been betting on this for more than ten years, so I can't make any mistakes.

“The art of governing a country is profound and extensive. If Aye were not still here, I would have been struggling a lot and would not be able to handle it so well.

It seems that I will follow this approach in the future."

Li Chengqian sincerely lamented that being an emperor was too difficult, especially if one wanted to be a good emperor.

Li Shen heard Li Chengqian's sigh and thought about it and decided to say a few more words:

“Brother, I don’t understand how to govern a country, but I think it depends on people.

As long as Big Brother can know how to use people and not be biased, there shouldn't be too many problems.

And the principles that the great scholars taught me, you must learn to apply them.”

"Application? What does that mean?" Li Chengqian was stunned and asked.

"Brother, you don't think that the principles they teach you are to tell you how to act, right?"

"Isn't it?"

Li Shen shook his head with disdain:

"Of course not. Those ideas are just a means and shackles used to imprison the people below.

Brother, you will be an emperor in the future. You should follow the way of the king. How can you let others put you in shackles?

Even Laozi Li Er only talked about how to manage the people on behalf of the emperor. He had never been an emperor, so how could he know how to be an emperor.

The emperor possesses the luck of heaven and earth and is blessed by the country's fortune. He is one in a million.

How can these ordinary people understand it?

Brother, listen to the ideas and principles they tell you, and apply them to them and restrain them."

"Lock them up?" After hearing Li Shen's words, Li Chengqian seemed to understand, but also seemed not to understand.

The general meaning is that he should not listen to what the great scholars say, but still listen to what they say and then apply it to officials and people.

Li Chengqian felt that this seemed to be the meaning.

Seeing Li Chengqian's confused eyes, Li Shen looked at him with contempt. He couldn't understand what he was saying.

"Brother, go back to the palace and think about it slowly, or ask Aye when you have time. As the emperor, Aye will definitely understand.

Those ministers tell you not to be dissolute, because dissoluteness is the root of all evil, but each of them has many wives and concubines.

They live a life of luxury at home, but tell you to be extravagant and not to be changed by poverty and humbleness.

They exploit the people, rob and plunder, but they tell you to be diligent and love the people, and love the people as your own children.

This is the shackle they put on you, big brother, and you can use the same method to manage them.

Cough....cough...cough..."

Li Shen suddenly started coughing violently, and a look of pain appeared on his face.

"Tenth brother, what are you doing..."

"Wow~~~"

Before Li Chengqian could finish his words, Li Shen spat out a mouthful of blood, which scared Li Chengqian.

He quickly stepped forward to support Li Shen.

"Tenth brother, tenth brother? Someone come here!"

Seeing Li Shen vomiting blood, Li Chengqian immediately panicked and shouted outside.

"Your Highness." Li Chongyi was the first to open the car door.

He was responsible for protecting the prince.

"Oh~~~ Much better, big brother, no need to panic." Li Shen let out a long sigh. He always felt a little suffocated just now.

Li Chengqian waved his hand to signal Li Chongyi to go out.

Then he took a handkerchief and wiped the blood from Li Shen's mouth personally.

"Tenth brother, what's wrong with you? Do you have any hidden illness? Why don't you go back to the medical school?"

Li Shen felt warm at heart at the concern. He felt that his love for this elder brother was not in vain.

"It's okay, don't worry, big brother. It's just that I was kicked by my ninth brother just now, and I didn't tell you."

Li Shen comforted him. Sun Simiao had just checked his pulse and said that he had some blood rushing up, but it was nothing serious.

Otherwise, given Li Shen's fear of death, why wouldn't he receive treatment there?

He had been feeling a tightness in his chest for a long time, but he was holding it together because he didn't want to be laughed at by Li Zhi.

"Kicked by Zhinu? This Zhinu was a bit too much. How could he use such a heavy hand?"

Li Chengqian looked a little unhappy. He had just advised Li Shen to be grateful to Li Zhi's men.

I didn't expect Li Zhi to be so harsh on Li Shen.

"Tenth brother, why don't you go back to the medical school? Don't delay any longer."

Li Chengqian advised with some concern.

“It’s okay, I’ve asked Dr. Sun to check it out, it’s just a surge of blood and qi, no damage to the internal organs.

I will go back to Prince Ji's mansion and ask the doctor there to treat me. It looks like I will have to rest for a while this time."

Li Shen shook his head.

"Sigh~~~" Li Chengqian sighed. He was also helpless. He couldn't control either of these two people.

If I succeed to the throne and become emperor in the future, I can still talk about it.

But now he is just the crown prince, and it is useless to persuade him in the name of his brother.

"Brother, if there is nothing wrong, I will reply first and ask the doctor in the mansion to treat it."

Li Shen stood up and bowed, preparing to leave.

"Okay, in that case, we'll talk another day. Stop the car!"

Li Chengqian nodded and shouted, and the carriage stopped.

Li Chengqian and Li Shen got off the carriage together.

"Brother, please get in the car. The weather is cold." Li Shen bowed.

"Okay, Tenth Brother needs to be treated for his injuries, so go ahead. I'll ask them to clear the way, but don't delay. I'll come visit you in a few days."
