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

Li Shen opened his eyes wide with an expression of disbelief, looking at his old father. The first thought in Li Shen's mind was to hold his pockets tightly.

It was obvious that what my father said just now was to speak for me, and he also took the responsibility.

The sudden fatherly love made Li Shen alert, and he kept repeating a few words in his mind:

If someone is too nice to you for no reason, he is either a traitor or a thief. No one will visit you for no reason. There is no free lunch in the world. A weasel paying a New Year's greeting to a chicken - he has no good intentions.

For Li Shen, his father's behavior must have ulterior motives.

Father’s love was like a mountain, weighing him down with fear.

"Thank you, Aye, for helping me out." Li Shen retracted his gaze and bowed.

"Hmph, you still know that." Li Shimin snorted.

"Father, of course I know it in my heart, but...it has nothing to do with me. The imperial decree was issued by Father, and I was completely unaware of it."

Li Shen threw the blame away. It had nothing to do with him in the first place. He was just doing the work. In the end, it was you who made the decision.

How come it has become my responsibility now? Do you really treat me as a temporary worker?

Li Shimin certainly understood what Li Shen meant, but he still said in a deep voice:

"Old Ten, don't forget, you are the Shaoqing of the Zongzheng Temple, in charge of the affairs of the imperial clan. This is your responsibility."

"Father, it is indeed my responsibility, but what I did was also reasonable and legal. The final decision is still made by you."

Li Shen immediately retorted.

The father and son were talking back and forth, leaving the three brothers next to them confused and unable to understand what the two men were saying at all.

The three looked at each other, especially Li Tai and Li Zhi, who looked at Li Chengqian, only to see that Li Chengqian also had a confused look on his face. It was obvious that Li Chengqian didn't know what was going on.

The three of them could not get a word in, so they just watched Li Shen and Li Shimin exchange verbal attacks.

This is what father and son are like, this is what father and son are like and what filial piety is like. It makes Li Tai and Li Zhi very envious.

Only Li Chengqian watched this scene with a smile.

Li Shimin was too lazy to pay attention to his son who liked to argue, so he returned to his seat. From time to time, people came to kowtow to Li Shimin.

Fang Yiai, Tang Shanshi, Cheng Chuliang, Zhangsun Chong, Wang Jingzhi, Wang Dali, Gao Luxing, etc., these are the sons-in-law in Kyoto.

There are also Dou Xiaoci, Duan Yan, Chai Lingwei, Chai Lingwu, and Zhao Jie, all of whom are Li Shimin's nephews.

There were also some royal relatives, some of whom Li Shen didn't even know. There were dozens of people in the garden, not counting their family members.

Their families were all arranged to stay in the Daji Hall.

"Brother, why are there so many people? I'm afraid there won't be enough space for dinner later."

Sitting around the big stove, Li Shen looked at the crowd around him.

"This year, my mother said that we should make it more grand. All the aunts in Beijing will come, as well as the royal relatives."

Li Chengqian looked at Lian Si with a smile on his face.

"Brother, why are you looking at me with a smile on your face?" Li Shen felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by Li Chengqian and couldn't help but step back.

"Haha, I have to thank you, my tenth brother." Li Chengqian laughed.

"Thank me?" Li Shen was stunned and didn't understand what it meant.

"Of course. I heard from my mother that the expenses this time were all paid by your Highness Prince Ji. We naturally have to thank your Highness Prince Ji for the reward."

Li Chengqian smiled brilliantly.

"What, I paid for the whole thing?" Li Shen was surprised, but he quickly remembered and suddenly felt a pain in his heart.

"Is this my 40,000 strings of cash? Your death is too tragic."

Li Shen wanted to cry but had no tears. The person who lost his 40,000 strings of cash died in a more miserable way than Zhao Si's father.

"Hahahahaha."

Li Chengqian couldn't help laughing out loud, even Li Tai and Li Zhi couldn't help feeling proud, saying, "You, Li Shen, have finally come to this day."

"Brother, what are you talking about? You look so happy."

A voice came from behind, scaring several people.

Looking back, they were Princess Chengyang, Princess Jinyang, and Princess Hengshan, the three princesses who had not yet married.

"Meet the eldest brother, the fourth brother, the ninth brother, and the tenth brother."

The three princesses came over to greet the four people.

"Brother, what were you talking about just now?" Chengyang asked curiously.

"Besides, I'll find a suitable husband for you, Chengyang." Li Shen added.

"Tenth brother~~~" Chengyang blushed and hit Li Shen.

"Hahaha, Chengyang, you are not young anymore. It's time to find a husband for you." Li Chengqian laughed and agreed.

"Fourth brother, they bullied me." Chengyang pulled Li Tai's clothes to complain.

Li Tai looked helpless:

"Little sister, my eldest brother is the crown prince, second only to the emperor and above everyone else. Your tenth brother is as rich as a country, so how can your fourth brother afford to offend them?"

"Ninth Brother~~~"

"Stop, Fourth Brother can't do it, so I can't do it either." Li Zhi interrupted Cheng Yang before she could finish.

No matter what, they are all Chengyang's biological brothers, born of the same mother, and both legitimate children.

Of course you have to love your own sister.

"Tenth Brother~~~~~"

"Okay, okay, okay, just tell me what you want."

The call of "Tenth Brother" gave Li Shen goosebumps and he quickly gave in.

"Hey, we need money this time. The Lantern Festival is coming in a few days, and we are going out to play in the evening."

When Sizi heard that he was asked to give money, he immediately ran forward.

"The Lantern Festival? Why don't you ask Aye for money when you buy things? Aye has plenty of money. He even cheated me out of 40,000 strings of cash a few days ago."

“Forty thousand strings of cash!!”

This is enough for them to buy all kinds of good things and all kinds of rouge and powder.

The three daughters all looked at their father standing beside them.

"Don't look at me. I have all the money with your mother. I don't have any. If you want money, go to your mother."

Feeling the gazes, Li Shimin immediately shook his head and put the blame on the Queen.

When they heard that they were asked for money from the Queen, the three girls immediately became dejected. Their mother was very strict and would not let them spend money indiscriminately.

Moreover, they were only given a few strings of cash each time, which was not enough for them to spend.

If we ask them to ask the Queen for money, won't they just be waiting to be scolded?

“Tenth brother~~~~~” Hengshan was the youngest, and he pulled Li Shen and shook him.

"Here, hey, don't pull my sleeve. My clothes are very expensive." Li Shen pulled out his sleeve with force.

"Tell me how much you want."

"One thousand strings of cash." Hengshan raised a finger.

"One thousand strings of cash per person," Chengyang added.

"Go away. Each of you still has 1,000 guan. I'll just take 100 guan. Take it or leave it."

Good fellow, do you think you are a rich man? Beat the rich and divide the land.

He asked for a thousand strings of coins as soon as he opened his mouth, and each person received a thousand strings of coins.

"Brother Ten, one hundred strings of cash is too little. You can't buy good things with it. The Lantern Festival is the only time a year when there is no curfew.

Please give me more, brother Shi." Sizi started shaking Li Shen again.

"I really owe you guys, 100 guan per person is fine, no more."

Li Shen wanted to die. He was raised by his father, then raised by his children, and now he had to raise his cubs.

"Thank you, Brother Ten."

"Thank you, Brother Ten."

"Alright, alright, let's go quickly, or I'll feel bad and regret it later. Go to the mansion to get the money tomorrow."

Li Shen waved his hands as if to shoo away a fly. The three hundred strings of cash were gone again.

(After reading the comments, it’s true that the past two days have been a bit dull, as I needed to look up information and add some characters.

It was so difficult to look up the information. I spent 80 yuan to buy a rubbing of an epitaph, but I couldn't even understand it. It was a waste of money.

Don't be anxious, please.)
