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

Li Shen touched his chin and expressed his own judgment.

Wang Xuance first glanced at Wang Hongfu, then said to Li Shen:

"Your Majesty, it doesn't matter now whether it is true or not, we have already torn our relationship with the Prince Jin's Mansion.

Whether there is Northwest or not, it will not affect our plans for him."

Li Shen nodded after hearing this.

"Yes! You are right. As long as the feud between us cannot be resolved, I will not let him go.

But there is one thing that I am most worried about, and that is Your Majesty will send Li Zhi back to his fiefdom.

That would most likely put a stop to Li Zhi's ideas.

He has returned to his fiefdom, seemingly far away from Chang'an, and we have plenty of opportunities, but in fact, because of our current relationship, His Majesty will definitely pay attention to it, and it will be even more difficult for us to take action."

"Then the prince means to let Prince Jin stay in Chang'an City, so that Prince Jin will have a chance." Wang Xuance continued.

"Yes, that's what I mean. Besides, since he is in Chang'an, it will be convenient for us to help him, right?" Li Shen nodded.

"Okay, get busy, do the things at hand first, and we can deal with other things later."

Li Shen felt a little tired, so he stood up and lay down on the couch.

"My minister retire."

"I'll take my leave, villain."

Wang Hongfu and Wang Xuance stood up, bowed, and left.

Li Shen lay on the couch, looking at the sky, rubbing his chest gently with his hands, his eyes were blurred, and no one knew what he was thinking.

~~~~~~~~

"Oh!"

In the Prince of Jin's mansion, Li Zhi smashed countless teacups. His eyes were red and his face was full of anger.

"Asshole, asshole, this lowly bastard, how dare he, how dare he?"

Li Yifu stood aside and watched Li Zhi go crazy. He just realized what had happened.

Li Zhi told Li Yifu the whole story, including that he was the one who kicked Li Shen first.

"Your Majesty, please calm down. We can discuss this matter in the long run. What we should pay attention to now is that His Majesty knows about our affairs.

How will His Majesty deal with you, Your Majesty?"

Li Yifu looked at the crazy Li Zhi and tried to comfort him helplessly.

"What do you mean by how to deal with me? I have already been punished by His Majesty. Look at my face. I was beaten by His Majesty.

I've been beaten, what else can I do?" Li Zhi said, pointing at his swollen face.

When this was mentioned, Li Zhi became a little angry. He was beaten by his father and his face was swollen.

If his mother hadn't arrived in time, he might have been beaten.

Because he felt that Li Shimin was full of anger at that time.

"Your Majesty, based on what you just said, His Majesty had just begun to punish him when he was caught by the Queen.

The Queen Mother pleaded for you, but His Majesty fainted because he did not listen to the advice.

This shows that the matter is not over yet. "Li Yifu knew that this matter would not be settled so easily.

It is only because the Queen is ill that Your Majesty spared Prince Jin first.

"That shouldn't be the case, right? His Majesty shouldn't punish me any further for my mother's sake, but His Majesty finally said he wanted to settle accounts with me and that bastard Li Shen.

I thought maybe we'd be punished for the fight we just had in the hospital.

However, Li Shen underwent surgery in the hospital, which made him more guilty.

If there is any punishment, it should be him." Li Zhi was very confident, and he thought that even if there was any punishment, it should be Li Shen.

"Your Majesty is right, but I am a little confused. How did Your Majesty know about what we did?"

Li Yifu asked doubtfully.

Li Zhi shook his head:

“This King would also like to know.

Why does Your Majesty have evidence in your hands, including Wang Wencheng's account books and correspondence?

How did these things get into your Majesty's hands? Did Li Shen send them to your Majesty?"

Li Zhi did have this suspicion. It was Li Shen who handed the evidence to Li Shimin and complained to him. In his opinion, if this were not the case,

How come my father has account books and letters?

Li Yifu thought for a moment before saying:

"Your Majesty, I don't think this is the style of His Royal Highness Prince Ji. If Prince Ji has evidence,

Given his personality, he will impeach you, Your Highness, during the grand court meeting and prove the charges against you.

Speaking of this matter in front of all the civil and military officials in the court put His Majesty in a difficult position and he had no choice but to punish the prince.

Also, Your Highness just said that His Majesty burned the letter, which means that His Majesty is intentionally covering up for you, Your Highness.

I think Your Majesty must have obtained these from somewhere and did not want others to know about it, so he burned the letter.

Summoning the prince to the palace was also a private punishment for the prince, and we didn’t want the matter to be made public.”

Li Yifu's analysis was well-reasoned and convinced Li Zhi, but he was still a little worried:

"According to what you said, this is indeed possible. Your Majesty received the letter from Wang Wencheng's family.

I didn't expect Wang Wencheng to leave behind letters and account books. It seems he was planning to use them to save the lives of his family members."

Li Yifu nodded when he heard this:

"I also think so. You can use this to threaten us and get away with it.

If I had known this would happen, I should have killed them all to prevent future trouble.

Now I just don't know how much Your Majesty knows. If it's just about Xizhou, Your Majesty, you insist that it's a personal grudge with Prince Ji.

Since His Majesty wants to cover up for you, Your Majesty, then the punishment will not be too severe."

“Well, you are right, but now that I have publicly torn my relationship with Li Shen, I must be more careful in the future.

Tell the caravans and industries below to be careful of revenge from Prince Ji's Mansion.

Commercial targeting is a common tactic used by the Ji Palace, so don’t be fooled by them.”

Li Zhi gave an order.

"Yes, I will pass it on."

“As for those valuables, don’t transport them to Chang’an City, lest they be discovered. Leave them there.

Recruit some rebellious vagrants and survivors, and it would be best if they could form a tribe as a cover.

I will ask someone else to do this. It is not convenient for you in Chang'an.

Yuanzheng will also urge them later. We have shown our sincerity, so they should also show some sincerity.”

Li Zhi calmed down at this moment and was no longer as irritable as before.

"Yes, I obey your command." Li Yifu bowed.

"Your Highness, His Royal Highness the Prince of Wei is here to visit."

Just then, a servant came from outside the study to report.

"King of Wei?" Li Zhi was stunned, then stood up.

"You hide behind the screen first. I'll invite Fourth Brother here to see what he's here for."

Li Yifu took the order and hid in the inner room. Li Zhi walked out of the study and came to the front hall.

When I arrived at the front hall, I saw Li Tai standing there, supported by two soldiers.

"Greetings, Fourth Brother." Li Zhi stepped forward and saluted.

"No need to be so polite, Chi Nu." Li Tai also returned the greeting.

"What instructions do you have for me, fourth brother?" Li Zhi asked.

"Chi Nu, why don't we go to your study and tell him that Fourth Brother is injured and can't sit down."

This was exactly what Li Zhi meant, so he nodded:

"Okay, then let's go to my study. I have a couch there."

As he said that, he took Li Tai to his study, and two of his soldiers laid Li Tai on the couch.

"You all go out." Li Tai waved his hand.

(I was browsing Douyin and found that the platform had an annual meeting, but unfortunately I was not included)
