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

Li Shen had already arranged everything.

The fleet transporting various goods from the Tang Dynasty has already set out for the Arab Empire. Once there, their purpose is to make money and contact rebel forces and pagans in various places.

And a lot of spices were sent to the Hashemite family.

The only purpose of these arrangements is to cause chaos in the Arab world, but this takes time. Li Shen estimates that it will take a year.

It depends on whether Persia can hold on, but even if it can't, it will not affect Li Shen's plan.

If Persia could hold on, it could cooperate with Byzantium to attack the Arabs.

By then, West Asia will become even more chaotic, and the Tang Dynasty will have a greater chance.

The Persian envoy Akhamd felt relieved when he heard that the Tang Dynasty had already made arrangements. He already knew what King Ji had just said.

The Tang Dynasty is now in a stalemate with the Western Turks and Tibet. If it wants to rescue Persia, the first thing it needs to deal with is the Western Turks.

The many small countries surrounding the Western Turkic region are also a problem. The Tang Dynasty is likely to choose to solve the problem once and for all and open up the road to the Western Regions.

Destroy all the countries along the way.

After the battle with the Tang Dynasty is over, it is not certain whether Persia will still exist.

"Your Highness Prince Ji, I know it is difficult for the Tang Dynasty to reinforce Persia. Since the Tang Dynasty has already made arrangements, I beg Your Highness Prince Ji to plead with His Majesty.

It can be done as soon as possible, otherwise I am afraid that Persia will not be able to hold on for much longer."

Acamd requested solemnly.

Li Shen nodded:

"Don't worry, envoy. Our Tang Dynasty is a country of etiquette. Persia has had exchanges with our Central Plains for a long time, and our Tang Dynasty will naturally not ignore it.

When I enter the palace today, I will tell Your Majesty about this matter.

You Persians must also continue to hold out, gather your forces and hold on for only two years."

"Then I would like to thank His Highness Prince Ji." Akhamde stood up and performed a Persian etiquette to Li Shen.

Then Akhamde said goodbye, and Li Shen did not try to keep him, but had someone take him out.

When Li Shen returned to the backyard, he saw several children gathered together, with Lu Dingniang and several adults beside them.

"What are you doing?" Li Shen shouted.

"The prince is back?"

"I've met the prince."

"I've seen Aye."

"Yeah!"

A group of people turned around and saluted Li Shen. Even the two little ones started to cry out when they saw Li Shen.

"Oh yeah, what is this?" Xixi said, pointing at the parrot.

"This one is called Longke, and Aye calls it a parrot."

Li Shen's house had never kept birds, or rather, had never kept birds alive, otherwise Li Shen would not have taken a birdcage out for no reason.

"Your Highness, this cat is so cute. It doesn't look like it's from the Tang Dynasty." Wu Meiniang asked, pointing at the Persian cat.

"That's right, this cat comes from Persia, and I call it a Persian cat." Li Shen nodded.

"Oh, by the way, I'll clean up a room for them two to live in, and it'll be warm every day.

This Persian cat is afraid of cold, but it can't be too hot either. I will take care of it myself."

Since you want to be a plaything, of course you have to be different. Building a house to keep it is just the basic operation.

Persian cats are very delicate and are afraid of both cold and heat.

Everyone was used to Li Shen's request. The big dogs in Prince Ji's mansion all had their own houses.

There are special people serving Weiyan every day.

It is natural that we should support getting two more Persian cats.

As for the two parrots, Li Shen also planned to train them himself and teach them to speak.

"Aye, I want this Persian cat too." Xixi said while squatting there and looking at another Persian cat.

"No, they can't stand you playing with them like this. Go play with One, Two, Three, Four. Aren't Little One and Little Two enough for you to mess with?"

Li Shen immediately shook his head and refused. Xixi was too noisy. The big dogs at home would avoid her when they saw her.

I finally got two Persian cats, but they died after I played with them for a few days.

Now Xixi is at the point where people find dogs annoying.

After hearing what Li Shen said, Xixi pouted and looked like she was about to cry:

"I'll go tell Aung."

"Xixi, when you grow up, I'll let you play with them, okay? They are still small and can't stand your tossing and turning.

By the way, Ayetai, you will be in the palace to eat delicious food later, so hurry up and clean up."

When his father was mentioned, Li Shen immediately gave in.

There is nothing you can do about it because they are generations apart. Xixi always acts like a good granddaughter in front of Li Shimin.

She pretends to be so well-behaved, I don’t know who she looks like?

When Xixi heard that she was going to enter the palace, she was happy and went back with her wet nurse to wash and dress up.

Li Shen also asked the wet nurse to take the other three children away and take care of them.

"You guys should pack your bags too. Come with me to the palace and have a good meal. We lost 40,000 strings of cash last time, so we have to get some back."

Li Shen spoke to the women again.

Lu Dingniang smiled helplessly and left with the group of women.

Li Shen released the other cat and put the two of them on the couch. In the new environment, the two cats were very curious and looked around and explored privately.

Li Shen sat at the desk and picked up a pen and paper to draw a comb for combing cats' hair, a cat bed, toys, etc.

These were all things he had seen in the videos he had watched in his previous life.

"Cat litter?" Li Shen was a little worried. He didn't know what cat litter was made of.

Or just let them out for urination and defecation on time, just like walking your dog.

Otherwise, you will have to use regular sand.

"Your Highness, the Tibetan envoy is outside asking to see you." A servant reported.

"If you don't want to see me, just say that I have something to do and I have to go back to the palace later."

Li Shen didn't even bother to shout.

After a while, the servant came to report again:

"Your Majesty, the envoy of Nanzhao is outside seeking to see you."

"No, no, I won't see any guests today."

Next, envoys from seven or eight small countries including Baekje, Silla, Wa, Java, Fang La, etc. all requested to see King Ji.

As a result, they were all turned back by the doorman.

The reasons were the same. Prince Ji would go to the palace later and had no time. The prince would not meet anyone today, so these envoys would return disappointed.

"Okay, send it to the craftsmen in the mansion and ask them to make it as soon as possible. They need to use wood, the best oak will do."

Li Shen put down his pen, looked at it carefully, then handed the drawing to Shi Tou and asked him to do it.

He got on the bed and started playing with the two kittens.

After playing for a while, Li Shen got up, took a bath and changed his clothes, as he had to go to the palace for a banquet later.

Nearing evening, Li Shen, dressed in royal robes, brought his family, young and old, and drove to the palace in a three-horse carriage.

Of course, his sister, Princess Linchuan, also travelled with him.

This year's family banquet was quite lively. Empress Changsun had already notified all her children in Chang'an City.

In previous years, it was usually the sons who came, but today even the daughter and son-in-law, even Li Shimin’s sisters, and nephews and daughters came.

Many carriages came to the gate of the imperial city, making it particularly lively.

The arrival of the Ji Wang Mansion's carriage attracted the attention of many people, and they all made way.
