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

Seeing Wang Zhong's sincere face, Li Chengqian waved his hand:

"Okay, I've already said that I don't blame you.

I want to tell you that from today on, you don’t have to hide anything and I will report everything truthfully.”

"I dare not." Wang Zhong was shocked.

"Just do what I tell you to do." Li Chengqian showed his anger, and Wang Zhongcai bowed:

"Yes, I will obey the orders of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Li Chengqian nodded with satisfaction:

"Go to Prince Ji's mansion and tell Old Ten what happened in the court just now. Go quietly."

Li Chengqian also knew about Prince Ji's affairs in Xizhou, and he felt that today's incident was related to Prince Ji's Mansion.

So someone was sent to notify Li Shen so that he could make preparations early.

"I'll go right away." Wang Zhong agreed and prepared to leave.

"Wait, Old Ten should be in Hehe Manor. Change your clothes and leave the city. Also... tell Old Ten about the conversation between me and His Majesty just now."

Li Chengqian called Wang Zhong and gave the order after hesitating for a long time.

"Yes." Wang Zhong bowed and walked out.

Li Chengqian shook his head helplessly, hoping that he had guessed wrong.

.........

After Li Chengqian left Ganlu Palace, Li Shimin also returned to Shenlong Palace.

"Wang De." Sitting by the stove, Li Shimin called out.

"The old slave is here."

Wang De came over quickly.

"Did you do it?" Li Shimin said in a cold tone.

Wang De quickly shook his head:

"Your Majesty, how dare I do that? Without your Majesty's order, how dare I make the decision on my own? It was not my doing."

Li Shimin frowned immediately after hearing this.

"Li An, quickly send the Hundred Cavalry Division to investigate and report back within six hundred miles."

"I obey your order." Li An immediately accepted the order.

"Wang De, go ask who leaked the news in Chang'an City."

Li Shimin thought about it and gave another order.

"Yes, I'll send someone to ask right away." Wang De said and then stepped out.

Li Shimin looked at the ceiling in a daze. He was also thinking about what happened in the morning court. What was it all about?

Outside the Hehe Manor, the huge ice and snow city is nearing completion. Thousands of people are building it at an extremely fast speed.

“Woohoo~~~~hahahaha~~~~~”

Cheers were heard from the center of the city of ice and snow. Li Shen slid down a winding snow path quickly while holding Xixi in his arms.

The snow trail is long and narrow, about two miles long, and the speed from top to bottom is extremely fast.

"Ah~Ah~~~~" Xixi shouted excitedly.

The sound came from far away.

"Ouch~~~~" Caught off guard, Li Shen rolled several times in the snow while holding Xixi.

The frightened servants rushed forward to check:

"My Lord, my Lord, are you okay?"

"Pfft...Pfft...It's okay, did Xixi fall down?"

After Li Shen got up, he hurried to check on his daughter's condition.

Xixi shook her head, her face flushed red, and she didn't know whether it was because of excitement or because of the cold.

"This place is not good, it's not flat enough, we need to fix it, and this exit is not long enough,

We are laying down a few more blankets here, otherwise we won’t be able to buffer the speed.”

"Yes, I'll have someone revise it right away." The manager on the side nodded quickly. He was the one who was most afraid just now.

He is responsible for this big slide. If something happens to Prince Ji here, he will not survive.

"Change it now. I will have to experiment with it later."

"Your Highness." At this time, a steward reported from the side.

"What's the matter?" Li Shen turned around.

"The ice lanterns that the prince ordered are now encountering some difficulties." The steward replied.

"Difficulties? What kind of difficulties? Ice lanterns can have difficulties?"

Li Shen's eyes widened.

"Your Highness, there is nothing wrong with the candles used in the ice lanterns. However, if the candles are lit for a long time, the inside of the ice lanterns will melt."

Seeing that Prince Ji was angry, the steward hurried to explain.

"Well... this is indeed a problem."

Li Shen touched his chin after hearing this. There was nothing he could do about it. He didn't have a low-voltage bulb. The candle would definitely melt if there was an open flame.

After a long while, Li Shen stopped thinking about it and waved his hand:

“Never mind, let the craftsmen make more ice lanterns, and replace them with new ones when they melt.

Just click it for a while every night and it shouldn't be a problem.

Tell the craftsmen to finish the work as soon as possible. I will inspect it tomorrow night and open the park the day after tomorrow."

"Your Majesty, someone has come from the palace."

At this time, a guard came running over to report.

"Someone's coming from the palace? Go and take a look."

Li Shen was a little confused after hearing this, but he still led people to the door.

"Your servant pays respect to His Royal Highness Prince Ji."

"Wang Zhong?"

When Li Shen saw who was coming, he was a little surprised. When he heard someone coming from the palace, he thought it was someone sent by his father.

I didn’t expect it to be Crown Prince Li Chengqian’s man.

"Your Highness Prince Ji, His Highness the Crown Prince sent this servant here to tell you something."

Wang Zhong reported quietly.

"Well, let's go to the manor." Li Shen nodded. When he saw that Wang Zhong was in plain clothes, he knew that he was not here as an official.

Arriving at the study in the manor, Li Shen dismissed his attendants and asked Shitou to pour a cup of tea for Wang Zhong.

"Tell me, what does big brother want you to do?"

Wang Zhong took a sip of tea and spoke slowly:

"Your Highness Prince Ji, His Highness the Crown Prince asked me to come and tell His Majesty that during the morning court session today, the Censorate..."

Wang Zhong began to recount what had happened in the morning court, and Li Shen listened with great interest because he was the one who spread the rumors outside.

"Your Highness Prince Ji, this is what happened. His Highness the Crown Prince told you to make plans early."

"Make plans early? What does that mean? It has nothing to do with me." Li Shen shook his head in disdain.

Wang Zhong did not explain, but continued:

"Your Highness Prince Ji and His Highness the Crown Prince have just gone to Ganlu Palace. Please ask for your guidance..."

Wang Zhong repeated to Li Shen what Li Chengqian had said to Li Shimin in Ganlu Palace.

There is actually no useful content.

However, Li Shen noticed that Li Shimin's words mentioned "not simple", such as the aristocratic family stood up and Changsun Wuji was a little abnormal.

After Wang Zhong finished speaking, he bowed:

“Your Highness Prince Ji, I have finished explaining what His Highness the Crown Prince told me to do.

If there is nothing else, I will take my leave first."

"Well, Shitou, I'll give you a gold bar. Go back and tell my brother that I know. I'll treat him to a drink in two days."

Li Shen waved his hand, and Shi Tou immediately took out a gold bar and handed it to Wang Zhong.

"Thank you very much, Your Highness Prince Ji, for your reward." Wang Zhong expressed his gratitude immediately.

Wang Zhong did not refuse, because even his godfather Wang De accepted gifts from Prince Ji, which proved that it was okay to accept Prince Ji's money.

The servant sent Wang Zhong out, and Li Shen lay there thinking about what Li Shimin had said.

His father is a shrewd man and would never do anything without a purpose.

"Come here, summon Wang Xuance and Wang Hongfu to discuss this matter immediately. Oh, and Xue Rengui as well."

There is strength in numbers. Three cobblers are better than one Zhuge Liang.

If you can't figure it out yourself, let more people think about it.

(It’s a busy year end, please bear with me.)
