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

Li Shen raised his head and looked at Li Shimin who was lying there. At this moment, Li Shimin was also looking at him.

When their eyes met, Li Shen saw sincerity in his father's eyes.

But Li Shen didn't care and nodded obediently:

"Yes, I understand what Aye means."

Seeing Li Shen's attitude, Li Shimin shook his head helplessly. It was obvious that Li Shen did not listen to what he said.

He sighed:

"Alas~~~Old Ten, don't worry, I will give you justice. Next year, when spring comes and flowers bloom, I will let Zhinu go out of the fiefdom, and your fourth brother will go with him.

You will never meet again, and naturally there will be no intersection between you.

I just hope you don't bear a grudge against Zhinu, don't take revenge on him, stay......"

Having said this, Li Shimin did not say anything else.

At this moment, Li Shimin was thinking about what would happen after his death. He was afraid that his vengeful son would take revenge on Li Zhi.

Li Shen also obeyed Li Shimin's intention and knew that Li Shimin's final intention was to spare Li Zhi's life.

But at this time Li Shen was thinking about his plan. If Li Zhi returned to his fiefdom, what would happen to his plan of raising a tiger?

If you can't raise a tiger, he can't cause trouble, so how can you take revenge?

Assassination is definitely unrealistic, and he will be suspected regardless of whether there is evidence or not.

When Li Shimin was around, he would start to treat him badly, and even try to get rid of him for the sake of the crown prince.

If Li Shimin were no longer around, and I took action myself, the consequences would be even more serious.

Li Chengqian would definitely have a grudge against him, and then he would have no choice but to move away, which was not what he wanted.

Li Zhi must be kept in Chang'an.

Thinking of this, Li Shen stood up and saluted:

"Aye, it's not that serious. It was just a misunderstanding between me and Ninth Brother. To be honest, we don't have any deep hatred.

It is common for brothers to fight and quarrel with each other. Mother loves her ninth brother and would definitely miss him if he were to go out to be a vassal.

What's more, if Fourth Brother follows us all of a sudden, Mother might become sick from missing him.

My mother is in poor health now and can hardly bear sadness. I think we should wait until she gets better.

I will try my best not to have any contact with Brother Nine, nor to have any conflicts with him in the future."

Using Empress Changsun as an excuse was the best excuse Li Shen could think of.

Li Shimin was very worried about Empress Changsun's health. If she fell ill because of missing her son, it would be a loss.

Sure enough, Li Shimin's eyes flickered after hearing this, and he was really thinking about this matter.

"Are you sincere about what you said?" Li Shimin asked seriously after a long time.

"Every word I say is from the heart, and heaven and earth can bear witness to it. It is not for anything else, but only for mother."

Li Shenshen bowed deeply and replied solemnly.

"Oh, you have grown up and become sensible." Li Shimin sat up and looked at the son in front of him, whom he defined as a rebellious son, with deep emotion.

"Well, if father thinks so, can you exempt my son from the 40,000 strings of cash?" Li Shen asked cautiously.

"Of course...impossible!" Li Shimin really wanted to slap himself in the face for saying those words just now.

This guy is so sensible that even his ancestors can laugh. He is really our good son.

Li Shen knew this would be the result and was not too disappointed.

Li Shimin calmed down his urge to beat Li Shen up before asking:

"What did you mean when you said there would be chaos in the west on the day of the auction?"

Li Shen sat down again and poured himself a cup of tea.

"Replying to Father Ye, I am actually worried. I suspect that the things happening in Xizhou are related to the Western Regions.

They want to cause chaos in our Anxi Protectorate, and then take the opportunity to launch a surprise attack."

"Oh, you mean, the incident at Prince Ji's Mansion was done by the Western Turks?" Li Shimin asked.

Li Shen took a sip of tea.

"It may not necessarily be done by Western Turks, it may also be done by Tubo, or both of them together.

The purpose is to make the remaining people in the Anxi area hate the imperial court and develop a rebellious heart, so that when they attack us

We can work together from inside and outside.”

Li Shimin nodded after hearing this. He also thought so:

"Well, what you said makes sense. I have already sent people to Western Turkestan to investigate. If they make any moves, they will report back immediately.

I also wrote a secret decree to Guo Xiaoke, asking him to be vigilant against the rebellion in Anxi.

However, Anxi has only been incorporated into the Tang Dynasty for a few years, and many scattered tribes have not yet completely surrendered.

They have been hiding in various tribes, waiting for an opportunity to strike.

Still lobbying the remnants to increase their power.

I cannot bear to slaughter innocent people, so I have never eradicated it."

"Father, you are merciful." Li Shen flattered him. Li Shen understood that Li Shimin meant to kill them. They were all remnants of the people anyway, and those who resisted would be killed.

It is better to kill a thousand people by mistake than to let one go. This is the case in feudal society.

"I will handle this matter myself, so you don't need to get involved. However, the affairs of your Prince Ji's Mansion in Xizhou do have some impact on the court.

After Yuanzheng, if you still want to continue making a living in Xizhou, you have to think of a way.

I have heard that many people in the tribes are complaining to the court because of you."

The people of Xizhou were severely harmed by Wang Wencheng, which allowed many rebellious organizations to take advantage of the situation.

Of course Li Shen knew this and said immediately:

“Don’t worry, Grandpa, I will personally handle the affairs of Xizhou and will never let something like this happen again.

However, Xizhou Prefecture needs to be stable, and it may take a long time to rely on Guo Xiaoke alone. If we fight against the Western Turks,

Someone is organizing a rebellion and inciting the people, and the soldiers at that border will be attacked from all sides."

"Then do you have any good ideas?" Li Shimin picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea.

“Aye, this incident started in my Ji Palace, so I will compensate the victims next year.

And open a school there and let their children attend for free." Li Shen replied.

After hearing this, Li Shimin pondered for a moment:

“If you do this, you will pay a heavy price.

I'm afraid that your Ji Wang Mansion's current financial resources are not enough to support it, and you still have to build roads next year."

"This..." Li Shen thought about it and it was indeed true. He had no money left and he still had foreign debts.

Will he continue to cheat some money next year? He really wanted to ask his father to sponsor him a little, but he didn't dare.

"Father, there is actually a less costly method." Li Shen said after thinking for a while.

"Oh? Tell me about it." Li Shimin asked curiously.

"Aye, as long as we secretly form a rebellious organization, under the banner of rebellion, we can do evil everywhere.

And they are more high-profile. Anyone who does not join the organization and is unwilling to rebel will be killed.

By then, the people will be afraid of them and hate them, and we will also be able to find out information about other rebel organizations and wipe them out in one fell swoop.

The best of both worlds. ”

"How can you kill innocent people, you bastard?"

(Only after experiencing hardships can we see the dawn. Come on, everyone.)
