Time Travel: I am the idle king Li Shen and Li Shimin in the Tang Dynasty
Chapter 1593 Excuses
In the living room, Li Shen interrupted Li Chengqian rudely and said, "I have no money," which made Li Chengqian laugh and cry.
I haven't asked him for money yet?
"Why are you looking at me? I don't have any money either."
Seeing Li Chengqian looking at him, Li Shen said bluntly.
"Tenth brother, I didn't ask you for money, why are you so nervous?"
Li Chengqian said helplessly.
"I have to be nervous. You and your father have spent so much of my money. You always want my money. If I don't guard against it, sooner or later my family's wealth will be drained by you."
Li Shen said to Li Chengqian very seriously.
"You... Tenth brother, I'm not thinking about your money. You should ask Aye about this." Li Chengqian couldn't refute. He had no choice. He did spend a lot of money on Li Shen.
"What's the use of telling Aye? In the end, I still have to pay forty thousand strings of cash." Li Shen felt heartbroken when he thought of the forty thousand strings of cash.
At this time, the servants began to serve tea.
"Sister-in-law, this is this year's new tea, try it. I don't know what kind of dishes you and brother like to eat, I'll ask them to prepare it later."
Lu Dingniang and the Crown Princess talked in a low voice.
"You are too polite, Ding Niang. Anything is fine. Your eldest brother always says that the food in Tenth Brother's house is more delicious than outside."
The Crown Princess also responded in a low voice.
Lu Dingniang nodded.
"In that case, I will ask the servants to prepare a few of our signature dishes for Big Brother and Sister-in-law to taste."
Lu Dingniang waved her hand and Lan Yuer came over. Lu Dingniang gave Lan Yuer an instruction.
Lan Yuer went out and started preparing the meal.
"Tenth brother, I have something to discuss with you. Why don't we..." Li Chengqian meant to find a quiet place to talk.
Li Shen understood and stood up, saying to Li Chengqian:
"Brother, let's go to my study and chat. There's some good tea there."
As he spoke, he led the way in front and Li Chengqian followed behind.
Lu Dingniang stayed with the Crown Princess without moving. They knew their men wanted to discuss something.
Arriving at the study, Li Shen sat in front of the tea table and began to boil water to make tea.
"Brother, tell me what's going on."
Li Shen went straight to the point and asked directly. Li Chengqian hadn't asked him a question for a long time.
Could something have happened?
"It's nothing serious. I just went to the harem to visit my mother and chatted with Aye.
It’s just that Aye said something to me that I couldn’t understand.
After much thought, I decided to ask you to help me think about it." Li Chengqian did not hide it.
"Oh? What did I tell you? If it's convenient, you can tell me and I'll help you with some advice."
Li Shen was a little curious.
What did the father and son talk about that could make Li Chengqian worried and ask for help?
"Aye first told me that he wanted Zhinu and Qingque to go to the fiefdom next year and asked me for my opinion."
Li Chengqian said.
Li Shen immediately became alert and asked:
"What did the elder brother say then?"
Li Shen was afraid that Li Chengqian would agree and ruin his tiger-raising plan.
Li Chengqian replied:
"Aye told me your idea, and I agreed with it immediately, saying that we should wait and see for the sake of our mother."
"Yes, that's right. For my mother's sake, I'd better wait and see. She has just recovered from a serious illness. I'm afraid she will become ill from missing me again. What should I do?"
Li Shen felt relieved after hearing this. It seemed that Li Chengqian was not stupid and knew to stand on his side.
"There's nothing wrong with that. What questions do you have, brother?"
Li Shen picked up the boiling water and started to make tea.
"Aye has never let Zhinu and Qingque leave the fiefdom, why are you so anxious to let them leave this time?
Aye should also know that his mother will miss them.
Also, Tenth Brother, why would you stop them from leaving the domain? It would be good for both you and me if they leave the domain and stay away from Kyoto."
Li Chengqian asked the question that was in his mind.
He could guess the first part, but he couldn't guess what Li Shen was thinking.
Li Shen did not speak, but made tea by himself. He did not know the tea ceremony, so he just pretended to be nice.
Then he poured a small cup and handed it to Li Chengqian, then poured himself a cup and took a sip.
"Ha~~~Good tea."
Li Chengqian did not disturb Li Shen. He picked up the teacup and started drinking, waiting for Li Shen's answer.
Li Shen was thinking about how to answer. He certainly couldn't tell her about his plan to raise a tiger.
After finishing a cup, Li Shen put down the teacup and said:
"Brother, it's actually very simple. Aye asked them to go to the fiefdom because of me. I have some grudge against my ninth brother.
There was a fight yesterday. Aye was afraid that I would take revenge on my ninth brother, so in order to protect him, he was in a hurry to send him out of the fiefdom.
Today, Aye also sent a team of armed guards to surround Prince Jin's mansion, nominally for surveillance but actually for protection.
This shows how much Aye values Ninth Brother."
Li Chengqian nodded and continued to ask:
"Then you want to keep him in Chang'an, do you want to take this opportunity to take revenge, or do you want to kill him..."
At this point, Li Chengqian paused. He had already thought of a possibility.
Li Shen shook his head.
"Brother, you are overthinking. How is that possible? I am really doing this for mother's good. To be honest, mother is my amulet.
I saved my mother. Whether you are Aye or big brother, you should remember my contribution.
No matter what I do, as long as it is not treason, I will not be punished.
So I hope my mother can live a long life. As long as she is alive, my grandfather and elder brother will protect me.
Big brother, do you think what I said is right?"
Li Shen thought of an excuse to cover up the truth with the truth.
Sure enough, Li Chengqian's expression became relieved after hearing this, and he nodded and said:
"Yes, that's true. Ever since you saved my mother, I have always been grateful to you.
You should know that Aye has always been very strict in teaching me, and my mother has always been the mediator.
You saved my mother and helped me a lot."
Li Chengqian had to admit that without Li Shen's help he might not be the crown prince.
And he saved his own mother, which is no small achievement.
So he believed what Li Shen said.
"Brother, we are brothers. I am grateful to you. Please take care of me and let me earn more money. It is better than anything else."
Li Shen is a bachelor, and he told Li Chengqian directly, "You have to follow me."
Li Chengqian laughed when he heard this, picked up the teacup,
"Come on, Tenth Brother, I'll give you a toast. We've been brothers for so many years, and I've always remembered your help to me, and I'll never forget you."
Li Shen also raised his glass:
"Haha, I will rely on you more in the future. Thank you in advance."
As they spoke, the two of them seemed to have reached some kind of agreement. They clinked their glasses and drank it all in one gulp.
"Brother, their leaving the clan has nothing to do with you and me. I don't think you came here for their affairs."
Li Shen asked as he poured tea for Li Chengqian.
It was just a small matter, so there was no need for Li Chengqian to discuss it with him.
